Suits Charges Discrimination Against
Children in Matter Of Equal

Opelousas, La, May % = A
suit ordering the school board of
st. Landry parish and S. c. Mon
cia, its superintendent, to discon-
tnue its usage, practice and Gus
tom of discriminating against Neg
70 children of the parish in the
matter of equal schools, bus
was filed in federal court this
week by fourteen parents, tax
payers and guardians of children
attending the public schools. The
suit was the result of more than
q year of petitions and appeals
to the school board to equalize
educational opportunities in this
Parish. 1t was filed on behalf of
parents through their attorney A.
P. Turea1 of New Orleans.
In their complaint Louis
Thierry, Gilbert Austin, Joseph
G. Donatto, Jr., Lionel A. Donatto,
Ollie Boudreaux, Leo Jordan, Earl
Cheyis, Calvin Cheyis, Bertrand
A. Rishard, Herbert Richard, Will
ton B. Gabriel, Allen Thomas,
Sr., Thonnis Robinson, Sr., and
Milto nAllen. all parents, tax
| payers and residents of st. Landry
parish point to the many Unequal
tiles existing in the schools of
St. Landry parish for Negroes, IS
compared to the conditions of the
| white schools. They point to the
fact that in every instance the
white children have modernly
constructed brick building, where
as the Negro children must at
tend school in delapidated frame
structures, lodge halls, churches,
and government barracks. Annex
ed to complaint are exhibits OF
the Negro and White Schools of
the parish.
The petition recites Jnat on
June 6, 1948 and on February %,
1949, as we'll as on previous oc-
casions, formal demands were
made on the school board to dis
continue the practice of proyid-
ing.
In every instance, it is point
ed out, the school board has
never built new building for
Negro children, but has depend
ed on the patrons of the com
munity to furnish buildings and
grounds free to the board in or
der to get a school for Negroes.
Due to lack of bus transpor-
tation, it is pointed out, many
children, are compelled to stay
home in inclement weather, thus
depriving them of opportunities
for an adequate education.
The case is the fourth of its
kind filed in Louisiana and is to
be followed by others of like ma
ture, where necessary, A. P. Tur-
eaud, attorney and notary pub
lie of New Orleans stated. Par
ents who have been raising funds
to buy grounds for schools and
for building material are now
holding on to their funds, real
izing that it is the duty of the
school board to furnish thes,
facilities out of public funds, thel
say.

More than 200 men-competitors
and business acquaintances-
showed up at the Hotel Statler
last night in honor Of Bill Hume.
Bill Hume? He is William r.
Hume. 68, of 1907 South Four Mile
Run drive, Arlington, who has
been with Woodward & Lothrop
Department Store for more than
80 years, mostly as a buyer in the
houseware department. He retired
today.
It was a testimonial dinner
but far from the usual testimonial
given men when they retire.
Morris Yeager. a New York man
ufacturers' representative. thought
of the idea first. He has done
business with Mr.. Hume for many
years. The local committee that
arranged the dinner included Erwin
Timko of Kann's Department
Store, Sanford Friedman Of the
Hecht Co. and Floyd Longerbeam
Of Lansburgh & Brothers Depart
ment Store, all competitors Of Mr..
Hume.
At the dinner they presented
Mr.. Hume with q booklet contain
ing letters from hundreds Of manu-
facturers' representatives with
whom he had done business in
the last decade. They also gave
him a television set as the finale.
The whole thing was accompanied
by numerous speeches of affection
for Mr.. Hume.
Mr.. Hume. a native of Raining
ton. Va, came to Washington in
1915. He went to work as q man
ager of grocery store. He stayed
on this job for two years before
going to Woodward 6z Lothrop as
salesman in the blanket depart
ment.
Shortly after his arrival at the
store he was made floor man
ager, and in 1919 was promoted
to assistant buyer in the house.
ware department. He was made
the buyer In 1921 and has held
that position since.
1T was quite . job. he re-
called last night. Particularly
those trips to Europe"
While Mr.. Hume was talking
to some friends. a portly middle
aged man came up to him.
Through thick glasses he peered
at Mr.. Hume and said:
Did you think I would miss
this? Did you think I would?"
He embraced Mr.. Hume. He

line. Mr.. Zeisler said he was
going to make Mr.. Hume spend
at least several months In Cali
fornia with him after he retired.
Hes one Of the finest fellows
I know" he said.
Everybody else there thought so.
Mr.. Hume will not be in Wash
ington for long. despite his life
time spent here. He has pur-
chased a home in St. Petersburg.

succeeds very well, too.

John used to grow his own

but no longer. Now most OF 1t
is grown around st. Louis,

Would License Owners
Instead of the Docs

Licensing Of dog-owners instead of
dogs as a means OF eliminating many
so-called dog problems is urged by
Harry Miller, Director, Gaines Dog
Research Center, New York City.
The average pet is pretty much
what is owner makes him, Mr.. Mil
Ter states. Therefore, licensing the
dog-owner would place. responsibility
where it properly belongs Prior to
licensing, the dog-owner would be
qualified as to his ability to provide
the dog with a good home, as well as
the exercise, training, ETC., the dog
requires. Only through some such
new system of licensing can most of
the present-day dog difficulties be
done away with, and more useful,
happier lives for pets assured, he
says.
The Gaines Dog Research Center
reports growing sentiment in many
sections of the country for use Of
present dog license fees in a manner
directly beneficial to the dog. Con-
siderable resentment is being ex-
pressed in some communities against
the practice of using dog tax funds
for building and maintenance of |

Make sure that his new owners
will understand his Inconsistencies
and not expect him to be happily

tant IN homes of persons who have
never before had dog. If he is a

However, even this new puppv
may be in a home where frequent
closing of the house or extended

ing the dog in boarding kennel at
