Hunting and Fishing
BHovifieS

The subject of dogs II always
popular with most outdoor sports
men. Because of successful
scientific breeding. the traits and
ChAracteriStics Of dogs have been
developed TO . high degree.
Sporting dogs are divided into
two groups, retrievers and hounds.
The retriever. both the water and
field type, was developed for his
ability 70 seek out and retrieve
game for the hunter. The hound.
Of which there are many types,
was developed for his ability TO
track game with his keen nose.
In selecting Q sporting dog, one
must consider for what purpose he
will be used. and whether he can
be adequately accommodated. Be-
cause most hunting dogs are
rather nervous and high strung
they shouldn't be too closely con-
fined indoors. or 70 children.
Care must be taken not TO con-
fuse the dog while training him.
He will learn very rapidly II he
can be made TO understand what 10
expected Of him.
A vital factor concerning your
dog u his diet. In most cases table
scraps should be supplemented
with any recommended dog food.
Do not overfeed your dog. A
healthy, happy. well trained dog
Is an asset TO any hunter.

ceived some white votes in all pre-
cincts of the city.
There were two Negro candi-
dates in the campaign in 1919
Hill, who barely missed being

CINCINNATI HERO AWARDED
CARNEGIE BRONZE MEDAL

PITTSBURGS, Pa. CAMP = A
Cincinnati store manager who
risked his life two weeks ago to
save a taxi driver from his burn
ing cab was announced this week
as the winner of n of Is hero
awards given by the Carnegie Hero
Fund commission.
Honored was James C. Walker,
40, who rescued Carl w. Tummler,
40, from his flaming taxi. April rs.
According to the Carnegie report,
the act occurred as follows:
Tummler's taxicab in a collision
turned yer on it's side and skidded
to a sidewalk. Gasoline seeping
from its motor flared into a blaze
spreading to the roof and trunk
of the vehicle, and Tummler was
trapped as he tried to escape thru
a door above him, but could not
open it wide enough.
Walker ran 35 feet to the cab,
climbed on the burning vehicle, and
opened the door. He then pulled
the driver up and they both leaped
off the cab. Tummler fell, however,
and Walker dragged him 40 feet
to safety. Only 30 seconds later
the gas exploded, and the auto
bile was destroyed.

LOOK At THE G
VOTE IN THE SOUTH
BY Carter Jewel

COLUMBIA, S. c. CAMP =
Astute Negro civic and political
leaders in almost every state in the
The South are urging Negro civic
organizations TO map an all out
poll tax paying campaign next fall
% double the Negro voter in the
south for next years important
elections and for the 1852 presi-
Dental election when a number of
candidates will be up for election
to Congress in addition to impor-
tant state and local elections.
Negro politicians regard the fall
as much more important for poll
tax drives and registrations for
increasing the voting strength of
the race than the customary spring
drives. In many states the dead
line for paying poll taxes in order
to vote in the following year cleo
tons is around Dec. 5.
In Florida where a critical stu
alton is developing between the
conservative and liberal wings of
the Democratic party, there are
about $4,000 Negro voters. BY
1852 the number may be increased
to at least 100000. That number
of voters in any southern state. if
polled in favor of liberal candi-
dates, might easily put liberal
candidates in. the winning class
with what support white voters
would give in the campaign.
Political issues are arising also
in Alabama, Texas, South Caro-
lima, North Carolina, and Virginia
where the Negro vote for the 1852
primaries should be a factor to be
carefully considered.
If the Republicans put up
enough money, the Negro press
will most likely, as it did in 1948,
come out in support of the COP
Presidential candidate and a num-
Der of COP candidates for Con-
gress. There is no doubt but that
the COP will use every tactic
possible to unseat the Democrats
in the White House and in Con-
gress.
Until the climax is reached in
November, 1852, both parties will
be trying to shift into a better
position for the final test. That
means that state and local cleo
tons will be tests to determine the
strength of both parties for the
final test in 1852. Negro voters in

In other words, a group of cir

which made the accidentrless seri-

Just consider what could have

might have been the tragedy at
Broadway and Germantown if a
group of people had been stand

to think.

A case in point is the crash
which occurred several nights ago
on the corner Of Germantown
Street and Broadway. A "a got
out of control of it's driver, ran
up on the sidewalk, knocked down
a drinking fountain and crashed
into a cleaning establishment.
Miraculously nobody was hurt.

The intersection is one of the

Young African King Stands Firm In
Right to Both Throne and Bride

LONDON (ANP)- Young
King Seretse Khama, ruler of 12-
5000 Bamangwato t%ribesmen,
held his first meeting with Com
monwealth Relations Secretary
Phillip Noel Baker, and he is be-
iieved to have held his original
position.
Informed sources stated that
Noel-Baker pleaded with Khama to
give up his throne n his English
bride, Ruth Williams, 24-year-old
London typist. It is reported that
q during this first session, Khama
turned down an offer to merely
set on an advisory counsel that
= would replace his throne.
Main argument used by til e
British, government official is that
the presence of a mixed marriage
in the South African orbit is bad
enough, but the existence of a
mixed marriage on the Bechuana-
land throne is impossible. Noel
Baker stressed the fact that
,neighhoring South Africa, South
ern ;Rhodesia, and Southwest At
RIGA are marshalled against any
thing that smacks Of racial equal
