members of both races, there would
be an opportunity for Negroes to
show the Governor and others that
yes, $50 of the Negroes of the state
are good Negroes" but because
they are Good Negroes, Good Cit

sumo all the responsibilities and to
partake in all the advantages and
privileges available to other Good

THIS IN THAT
BY SARAH M. HARVEY

DURING THE past weeks, we
have had the satisfaction of know
ing that we of this column do have
few readers !. atteSting to this
fact have been the numerous phone
calls, letters and notes, promising
contributions and volunteec serv-
ice, from social and civic clubs, as
well as from individuals. in answer
to the appeals made in this column
for the 18th annual City-Wide Free
kiddie Picnic +. already donations
have come from the Matrons Club,
the Exchangeretts, the Sophisticated
Lavorettes, the idle Hour Club, the
Collins Funeral Home a COM
plete list will be given in next
weeks paper We again urge as
many parents as possible to be pre-
sent We suggest that you bring
along baskets and make this one
of those old-time picnics. There'll
be plenty of free refreshments for
the kiddies and possibly enough
for the grownups
WE ARE bit late getting around
it, but here. we wish to doff our
hats to our good friend, Miss Lula
Ford and the splendid record of her
connection with Collins Burial As
ISOLATION. We feel that only her
earnest, honest, loyal service to the
hundreds of policy holders, many
of whom she has had since begin
ming with the organization, some
25 years ago, could make possible
a record such has is hers We also
commend the management of the
Collins Funeral Home for the spIen-
did way in which they showed their
appreciation of Miss Ford's serv-
ice.
WHILE HANDING out bouquets
we toss one to the Security Life
Insurance Company on their 10th
anniversary and we readily agree
with the words of the president,
DR. L. T Burbridge that, The record
of the first ten years of our COM
pany's operation is living proof
that Negro business. in Mississippi
can be successful, despite severe
handicaps it must overcome"
incidentally, SECURITY LIFE, to
our knowledge, is the only Negro

wrong we welcome correction.
WE DO not think that Governor
Wright need have any fear of Ne
groes of the state turning to Com
munism. If the good Governor
would use just a bit of his time in
making himself familiar with the
real history of not only the Missis-
sippi Negro, but the American Ne
gro, he'd find that no country has
ever had more loyal citizen. He'd
fin dthat there is not a single in
stance of Negro turning traitor
or giving away secrets of our gov

think the Governors. suggestion
that white people of the, state talk
with Negroes of the state" is good
one, but not SO much for the pur-
