Many people never 60 to the
doctor unless they have a pain or
some annoying or uncomfortable
symptom. In this day of preven-
tive medicine. when the sources
of disease and systemic troubles,
and even the causes of fatigue are
being investigated, this seems to
be an outmoded notion.
Today, for instance. many intel
ligent women who are in the can
cer-age zone have periodic physi-
cal checkups every six months.
This does not mean that they are
neurotic but that they simply wish
to cut down on the percentage;

Alabama Governor Calls
For Fair Share of Living
For States Negroes
MONTGOMERY, ALA.

Alabama's famous baby-kiss-
ing Governor, in the true spirit
of the Christmas season, called
on the citizens of his state to
break down racial hatred by
following 1.-THE teachings Of
Christianity and democracy"
James e. Folsom, a definite rar-
ity as far as Southern governors
so, thus struck a passive blow at
discrimination and at the same
time recognized the situation as
deplorable, something several
Southern office holders have yet
to recognize.
Two Southern churchmen prais-
ed Folsom's Christmas message,
calling for a "fair share OF living"
DR.. Louie ID. Newton Of Atlanta
and Rev. T. A. Russell Of Mont
gomery concurred with the Ala
bama chief executive in feeling.
Governor Folsom said in his
Christmas message that Negroes
constitute SO per cent Of the
states population. "Are they get
ting 35 per cent Of the fair share
Of living?" he asked.
"As long as Negroes are held
down by deprivation and lack OF
opportunity the other poor people
win be held down along side OF
them. ......
an the past few years there has
been too much negative living
too much stirring OF old hatred
and prejudices and false alarms.
The best way in the world 70
break this down Is TO lend our
ears to the teachings Of Christ
ianity and democracy" he added.
DIR. Newton, pastor of the Druid
Hills Baptist church Of Atlanta,
Ca, and former president Of the
Southern Baptist Convention said
Of the Governors message:
Certainly we hail with pleasure
any effort to make the relation
ship OF the races definitely per-
manent and Christian."
Rev. Russell, pastor OF the
Cloverdale Baptist Church here
said:
I'VE have always tried to fol-
low the same policy in the church
by following the teachings Of
Christianity"

Magazine Piece
Calls ST. Louis
Shocking City

New York (ANP)- Although
the river boats are gone and men
aren't seen staggering down the
streets with Stetson hats anymore,
st. Louis is still considered a
rough river town" with all the
elements of vice, corruption and
high crime rates. In the February
issue of OUR WORLD MAGA-
ZINE, Missouri's foremost city
is called "a shank" and Juice
town" by writer Dave Hepburn in
the feature story. Shocking st.
Louis"
Founded in 1764, st. Louis has
always had a Negro population,
Hepburn relates and he points out
that in the last so years, they've
poured in there from Arkansas,
Mississippi, Georgia and Tennes-
see. The last two wars brought
most of them seeking rich pay
envelopes in the steel mills, textile
factories, leather-works and pack
inghouses.
Visiting Homer Phillips hospital
over one week end, Hepburn said
that he found over 100 cases of
shootings and cutting being treat
ed nightly. Weapons are obtained
easily by purchasing them across
the river in East st. Louis, III,
and no questions asked. Apart
from ambulatory cases, $4,000
patients are treated yearly there.
The slums around Biddle street
and the shacks in 1.-The patch" are
depicted as some of the country's
worst. Negroes are forced to pay
$3.50 a month for garbage-ridden,
evil smelling novels without heat,
water or toilets. In 10 years, the
writer states, only one city pro-
ject has gone up for Negroes, who
comprise IA per cent of the pop
ulation.
Political boss of the town is
homespun Democratic boss Jor-
dan Chambers, who has practi-
cally made all the order ward
heelers owe their job to him. His
influence is felt even at city hall.
Summing up his observations Of
the town immortalized in w. c.
Handy's song, "St. Louis Blues"
Hepburn says, 1T stinks."

March Of Dimes
Opens Jan. Is

The 1850 March of Dimes opens
throughout the nation January Is
and will continue until January 81.
During the campaign more than
100000 Negro volunteer workers,
like their fellow Americans in all
parts of the country, will join the
Embarrassing activities of the chap
tiers of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis. Recogniz-
ing the tremendous cost Of care
and treatment of polio patients of
1949, the volunteers will strive to
provide for patients of prior years
and secure funds for 1850 epidemic
emergencies.
More than $4,000 polio cases in
1949 drained the, resources of the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis. The Polio Emergency
Drive provided stop-gap aid. But
the threat of a 1850 epidemic
creates a critical situation for the
National Foundation.
Pledged to the American people
that no infantile paralysis patient
shall go without the best available
care, for lack of funds, regardless
of age, race, creed or color, the
National Foundation and its chap
ters must conduct a tremendous
campaign for funds.
Challenged by the prompt and
effective aid rendered the stricken
by the National Foundation for
