Revenge the abeet pleasure of abject mind-Juvena
THE GOLF QUESTION

Negroes will play golf on the Municipal Golf Course
That much decided last week 1t is conceded by all
intelligent and right thinking people that it is their right
and no one should think of trying to stop them.
In cases of this kind it is not that Negroes do not
their rights but those rights often taken from
them Being such pitful minority they cannot demand
but ask and patiently wait That's rather undemo
cratic way but that is the way it is.
Their playing golf last week has become big issue.
1t was discussed before the city commission Wednes-
day and the commissioners agreed to suggestion by City
Manager O. P Hart that Negroes be allowed to the
golf course one day week.
It is claimed that since Negroes started playing
White golfers have stopped If such the there is
nothing be alarmed about that could be plan to upset
the authorities and to be working with some OF
them Our opinion is that if people really want to play
golf they will play whether Negroes on the course or
not
The idea about getting rid of the course seems too
childish to us for the commissioners to- even consider
City Manager Hart's suggestion allowing one day a
week for Negroes might work all right We do not know
Just what the Negro golfers think of this arrangement
Two days might be better since all Negroes are
working people, why not the weekend when they might
find convenient instead of Mondays. Were they
consulted as to which day would be convenient?
We believe the matter will be settled satisfactorily.
Jimmy Burns, Miami Herald Sports Editor, on Thurs
day devoted his column to this situation He writes very
Interestingly and handles the matter in unpreudiced
manner; you have not read Mr. Burns column, please
do so it is worth it.
