MisSis sirpians
In Chicago
By JESSE L. MOMAN

Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. Perkins,
formerly of the Jackson Town, and
now residents of The Windy City,
honored their young daughter De-
lores with wedding reception at
their lovely home. The young Miss
Perkins was united in Marriage
with Mr.. Ardie Rowe, of Los Ange-
les, California on February 8, at
her parents home.
At the reception, the young cou-
pie were seated under a semicanopy
of Palms arranged in half moon
effect, this being the Pre- Easter
Season. The young Mrs. Rowe was
attired in a georgous sweeping
white tulle gown and multi-colored
shoes with the accent on teal blue.
The off shoulder design of the
Gown worn with a shoulder length
blue spangled top piece gave a
stunning affect to the Brides
matchless beauty. Mrs. Rowe high
lighted her beautiful gown with
the new short curl coiffue.
The Brides Mother, Mrs. Perkins,
was attired in a blue net gown
with a scant white trimming, that
was lovely. Mrs. Perkins Jewels
worn at the collar and cuffs, pro-
duced harmonious accessory
style, for this very happy occas-
ion for she and Mr.. Perkins. Miss
Christine Johnson, former Jack
sonian was honorary hostess, and
of course the ever charming Miss
johnson was superb in making the
occasion enjoyable for the many
friends and guests.
Among the out OF town guests
were Miss Valilia B. Hammack,
from Los Angeles California, Miss
Hammock is cousin to the Bride,
and also she is a former resident
of the Jackson town. Jacksonians
came en-masse, as we mingled a.
mong the many guests we saw Mr..
and Mrs. Simon Johnson, Mr.. Caleb
Porter, Mr.. Joseph Porter, Mr..
Fred Hammack, Mr.. Lewis Ham
mack, Mr.. Lewis Hammack, Jr.,
Miss Ruth Hammack, Miss Willie
Bell Hammack, Mrs. Gladys Ham
mack Harris and Miss Eleanor
Milton.
The young couple received many,
many gifts and presents at this
swell elegant affair. Having Just
returned from their honeymoon,
the happy young couple will make
their home here in Chicago.
Professor Atheism Wells also of
the Capitol City, played many
songs on the Piano, some old, some
new, to the delight of the guests.
In the Back Room we had little
chat with Mr.. Willie l.. Davis and
incidentally, Mr.. Davis plans to set
foot on Parish ST. early in May.
After the grand reception several
of us on our way home, stopped
off at Prof. Wells home for a tele-
vision show.

pay farm jobs to higher pay city
work.
In the past decade the number
of Negroes on the regions farms
| dropped about 33 percent while the
number living in cities and towns
increased 20 percent
Changes in quality of the Negro
market are equally impressive.
DEMAND ENLARGING
Pre-war most Negro families
could afford only the absolute es-
sentials and sprinkling of mex
pensive luxury items.
Upward shifts in the distribution
of income have expanded greatly
the scope of potential Negro de
mand.
Better housing, better clothing,
household appliances and many
other items making for more pleas
ant living are now in the reach of
stable part of the Negro popu-
lation.
Almost one of every five colored
families living in Southern cities
and towns now has an income of
$3.50 a month or more. Another
one-fifth enjoys monthly spending
cash of $165 to $3.50.
Contrast this with pre-war when
less than one out of fifty were in
the same two brackets combined.
On per capita basis, Negro
income has more than trebled-
from roughly $3.50 in 1889 to a.
bout $500 last year. Income per
person in 1949 averaged $500 in
the rural areas and over 5000 in
the urban centers.
The gap between white and
Negro income remains large. White
per capita in the Southeast in
1949, at $1,1O0, was more than
double the average income of
Negroes.
Income of the regions white
population would doubtless be rails
ed even more if Negro income con-
tinues to go up. Economic gains
for one large group are bound to

There are many cloudy days in
life
Yet Sunshine comes in time
Jesus healed the sick and raised the
dead
Gave sight to those who were
blind.
Jesus said I'll go away you see
To prepare a place for you
All who will believe on him
Their hearts shall be made new.
III
Why believe a road is a good road
And travel on the bad end
1t is just because you won't obey
Gods word
And your hearts are filled with
sin.
Some day you will need the love
of God
But I'm afraid it will be too late
You love to travel that broad road
And it will be your fate.
That narrow path will lead YOU
right
Yet the broad roads not so well
That broad road has an end to it
And they say that it is hell.
VI
A Christian travels that narrow
path
While the world is on the broad
road
Trying to pick up everything they
see
To take to He'll great load.
VII
When you fail to train a child
An old man is hard to rule
When they never had any training
/ They are just a dangerous fool.
Some fools will say when educated
You cannot be a fool i.
But the biggest fool | ever saw
Was a graduated fool from
school.
Train the child the way it should
go
And educate the child the same
When you have raised him up right
And some day he'll bring home
fame.
Y
Don't spare the rod and spoil the
child
Then put him in high school
When he comes out to face the
world
He's just an educated fool.

THE BELL TOLLS
BY LEONARY H. BELL

American democracy is a para
dox that needs constant study and
attention in these times of world
revolution and steady movement of
those so long oppressed, toward
freedom. For instance:
From Monrovia, Liberia we hear
that the Liberian workers on the
Firestone Rubber Plantation staff
have outlined the grievances which
led to the labor disturbances here
recently. The trouble started orr
ginally as long ago as November
%, and was the result of pent-up
feelings.
Later in early February it flared
up again. Beginning in the garage
the strike spread rapidly through
all the main plantations as far as
the big shipping port of Marshall.
The formal statement drawn up by
the workers said according to I'M
official sources; an increase in pay;
they contend their salaries are not
commensurate with their living re-
quirements; that they were getting
poorer the longer they worked for
Firestone. Monthly pay, they con-
tended was or should have been diff
ferent for classified employees, in
stead of being figured on a daily
basis as that of ordinary employ
ees, especially since they had
served the Company for long
time. They say that the United
States Trading Company main
tanned by Firestone charged them
too high for the ordinary necessi-
ties of life. They also demanded a
reduction of working hours. And
strange enough they had to demand
better hospital treatment for their
dependents and themselves. And in
order to salvage some of their sal
aries they asked for free transpor-
tation for all employees. And they
asked that every classified en-
ployee be granted a two-week an
nual vacation for classified employ
ees.
Many grievances were voiced by
the strikers against their imme-
date plantation owners, or chiefs
who did not pay them the amounts
booked for them by the Labor De-
partment.
American loans from white and
black Americans taxes pay the
tariff in every oppressed country
for the above conditions to exist.

LOU SW ARR
10 THINGS

New York City Colleagues
| the country over can tip their
hats to Jimmy Hicks, President
of the NY Press Club and his
loyal members for the splendid
affair they had here at Hotel
Theresa recently. AS a genuine
newspaper man himself, Jimmy
went all out to have a well-round-
ed program as we'll as a dinner
where worthwhile talks were given
by those who knew the Press from
A to z.
Julius Adams, the former Presi-
dent of the Press Club might
easily be due for a little praise
at this time also because he gave
the Club good start during his
term of office.
The Program here for the
Aged-those over 60 seems to be
creating interest among other
Agencies as well as the Welfare
Department and the Salvation
Army! and the Program at the
Red Shield Club here in Harlem
is taking on new picture since
Executive Director Walter Roark
has added that Arts and Crafts
Specialist, DR.. Christian to the
Staff. Nothing like preserving
the personalities of those who
have passed the golden jubilee
mark and it can surely be done
through Recreational Activities.
FLOREE BRESHIGAN of Flo
reefs Flower Shop has added her
beauty and service to the Teen
Town Deb Sponsors. This Group
is under sponsorship of Geri Ma
jor.
FLOYD S. NELSON is doing a
jam-up job as PA for BILLY
HOLIDAY. More of our Artists
need to engage and "pay" per-
sonalities in like or similar capaci-
ties.
WILLIAM BROWN, Manager
of Hotel Theresa is among those
who make up the Board of the
| Salvation Army Red Shield Club,
and his Assistant - Morrison has
also expressed an interest in our
newest community Project-Teen-
Town. Good for both, and praises
to them. Community Projects and
Organizations need services of
such men.
! It's still your Lou (Hotel
Theresa) Swarz for Service.

opportunities. Segregation of Mex
lean children has been held to be
unconstitutional. Southern legisla-
lures are appropriating unprece-
denied amounts for support of
schools for Negroes.
"Yet, today, in no Southern COM
munity can it be said that in the
treatment of racial minorities there
is anything even remotely APP
proximating the basic American
concepts of democracy and equali-
ty of educational opportunity" DR..
Spivey pointed out.
Keynote speaker for the assem-
bly, will be DR.. E. Franklin Frazier,
head of the Department of socio-
logy at Howard University, and
former president of the American
Sociological Society.
There will be two sessions Of
panel discussions, both to be held

meeting "The Regional School
Plan" and Methods and Techni-
ques for Eliminating Discrimina-
ton" will be discussed. In this pro-
gram will be included addresses
by outstanding specialists, factual
reports from institutions where
Negroes have been admitted to
graduate and professional schools
as to how this policy has worked
out in actual practice, and graphic
and other exhibits. ~.

Parish STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: | have often said here
hat if you get you a seat over in
a corner of one of the favorite
Saturday Night Spots up and down
the Ole Avenue, it's no telling
what kind Of conversation or argu-
ment you'll find going on at one
of the tables where the faithful are
undergoing their results Satur-
day Night repast of Fish and Beer.
So, | wasn't surprised when while
endulging my fish and Beer
heard two of the Gentlemen of the
Cloth in a wide open discussion
of what kind of a sermon would
better suit the spiritual needs of
the Chillun of Aunt Haggar here
abouts at this time, and after some
discourse at length which | listen
ed too with varying degrees of in
terest, | was somewhat startled
when all at once one of the breth-
rem gave out with this text as
the firm and convincing need of
Aunt Haggar's chulluns-now =.
the text was, as stated: WHY DO
THINGS COME AGAINST ME
AND / SERVE THEE AND
MY NEIGHBOR A SINNER
SUCCEEDS Well. when I
heard it, after only a moments, re-
Election, whether caught the drift
of the Brothers thoughts or not,
| couldn't help from agreeing with
him that we among Aunt Haggar's
Chulluns need some sermons along
the line of that text. Turns US up
and down, weigh us anyway YOU
please, and you'll find that the
greater part of our time is spent
worrying about Something our
neighbours got (. how he got
and how he got what to git it with
and the more thought about
the text, the more / could under
stand why so few of us have any
thing to be much worried about
ourselves -. the reason being that
when one of us gets a little some
thing puts one foot forward
the rest of us stop doing what we
are doing and start worrying about
how he got what he got
and how he got what he got to git
1T wild Yes, sir, Brothers and
Sisters, one text the chullun's need
to hear more preached on is :.
WHY Do THIN GS COME
AGAINST NE +. AND | SERVE

These second and third-place
winners also had perfect records.
In addition to these, 43 other Du
Pont plants won perfect-record
trophies and IL won certificates of
achievement for perfect records.
Two other plants won other certifi-
Gates.
The safety performance of the
DUPONT Company as a whole last
year was the best in its history.
One time-losing injury occurred for
each 1 400 900 man-hours worked
an improvement of about IA per
cent over 194S, its previous best
year. This rate was about ID times
better than that of industry as a
whole.
During the year, the National
Safety Council awarded the COM
pany it's distinguished Service to
Safety" award for the seventh con-
secutive year.
Commenting on the company's
record for last year, Crawford H.
Greenewalt, president, said, "It
seems to me there is only one rea-
son for it. That is teamwork: CO.
operation, and the willingness to
work together; thoughtfulness for
our neighbors and willingness to
tackle common objective and
make good"
Safety of employees has been a
major concern of the company
since it was founded in 1902, near
ly $50 years ago. Its first mills
were built with safety as a con-
trolling consideration. DUPONT en-
gineers today design and build
equipment with safety as a con-
trolling factor.
The concern of top management
with this program has resulted in
some remarkable accomplishments.
In addition to the worlds record
held by the Martinsville plant and
those set in earlier years by other
DUPONT units, some of the COM
pany's operations have set long
distance records.
The Rubber Laboratory, current
ly with about 100 employees, has
operated for more than 20 years
without time-losing injury. The
Toledo, Ohio, Grasselli Chemicals
plant, with about 20 employees,
and the Acetate Research Labora-
tory, Waynesboro, Va, with almost
300 employees, have gone almost
as long.
