Is Mississippi Capitol City Making
Progress Backwards

Down in Brookhaven Tuesday all the folks got to-
gsther should have been the case in observance of
United Nations Day. the Central feature of the occasion
being the Parade which lead by the Alexander High
School Negro Band; to give, because of the General
setting, tradition and history, rather striking example
of the meaning United Nation, which, if it any
thing at all now, we'll for the future must mean
first of all, United People.
On the same day here in Jackson the United States
Marine Band playing concert in the city auditor
lum where Negro citizens told that provision
had been made for them to hear band which represents
and is part of the Armed Forces of the United States
Government.
The fact that both the U. S. Marine Band and the
City Auditorium represents things for which the Negro
citizens responsibility is immediate and personal as
any other citizens places the incident far beyond what
one would expect despite past history and tradition in
this hour of world challenge to democracy
Then too, after being without such devise for the
entire period of its history in Jackson people who think
and hope for real freedom and Democracy cannot help
being struck by the choice of time for the installation of
the new segregation devise at the approach to the trains
IN the Illinois Central Railroad Station.
In the lights of the above happening here it will be
heartenng to real lovers of democracy to learn about
the Negro high school Band leading the United Nations
Day Parade down at Brookhaven Tuesday-and by the
TOKEN most people will be inclined to ask the cues
ton regards the real meaning of the United Nations

Negro Surgeon
Wins Top Army
Award In Korea

WITH THE SECOND INFAN-
TRY DIVISION IN KOREA :
This division awarded it's first
Army Commentator Ribbon with
medal recently and on the receiving
end was a thoroughly capable and
popular Negro surgeon there.
The award was made on Septem-
Der % to Major John F. Harris,
surgeon and sanitary officer at the
Second Division Headquarters,
rear, by Col. Lester w. Teter,
Division Adjutant General.
Nowhere in the division sector
have | run across a man who is so
highly praised by officers and en-
listed men of both races. The big
handsome, six-foot surgeon looks
more like a great athlete than a
medic.
Soft-spoken Major Harris is that
and more. 1t is common place to
find him during spare moments
engaged in game with the fell
lows. And during peace time, he
won reputation for being good
in several sports.
The honor conferred on the sur.
geon was made in recognition of
his outstanding contribution to the
health and welfare of headquar-
tiers personnel, which includes hun
dredS of casuals.

"Your pathetic failure to know

further revealed by your use of

inform you that Senator Wagner
is still alive. He is now recuper-
ating from illness and fatigue,
caused in part by many years of
unceasing battles against lynching,
disfranchisement and economic
discrimination against Negroes. 1t
is an incredible as it is disturbing
to learn that a Negro Republican

a great champion of justice like
Senator Wagner is alive or dead.

The charge he gave to women
Was to stay right in her place
Obey her husband willingly
Regardless to the race.
Women allow me to tell you
God is frowning on this race
Men are getting so weaken
And allowing women to take

If men get no stronger
This world is at loss

Africans Explain
Scars On Face Are
Fraternity Sign"

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. % =
(ANP)-S. A. Lawoyin, a Baptist
teacher in Nigeria, told the stu
dents at Southern Baptist Theo-
logical seminary here last week
that the 16 carefully etched scars
on his face are "sign of frater-
nifty"
Lawoyin and the Rev. Emmanuel
0. Akingbala, a Nigerian Baptist
minister, were guest speakers at
the Missionary Day exercise held
by the seminary. Both the graduate
students of Oberlin college in Ohio,
majoring in religion.
Lawoyin explained that when he
was one year old, Yoruba tribal
members cut eight knife wounds
on each of his cheeks. Dirt was
rubbed into the resulting wounds
so that they festered and made
sharp, clean scars upon healing.
Fellow tribal members Aking-
bala escaped the "fraternal" mark
ing because his father was a con-
verified Christian.
my sister before me had receiv-
ed the Marks" Rev. Akingbala
said, "but when | was born, my
father decided none of the children
born after her would have them.
Lawoyin became a Christian when
he was 10.
The two men are graduates of
the Nigerian Baptist Theological
seminary. They will return to
Nigeria next summer to teach and
preach.

While the Summer sun is good
for us, and we surely must have it,
at the same time there is always
the chance that the skin will have
become rather dry, hence the lubri-
cation session.
Use a good body oil at least once
week, right after your bath Just
before you retire. Go over your
entire body, concentrating largely
on your feet, legs, arms and Shout
ders. Remember party time is with
us and you must display beautiful
arms and shoulders atop that
breathtaking strapless gown.
The New-Look in face makeup
for Fall and Winter, is bit on the
pale side. No, this does not mean
that you are to heap on more
powder; instead you will now be
minus the deep strawberry pink of
last Summer. This is achieved bv
the use of foundation covered with
the second application of powder.

the excess powder with a clean puff

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT -. One of the songs that
Aunt Haggar's Chilluns used to
sing back in the days when most
OF what they were thinking was
told in the songs they sang was
one rather euphemistically titled:
LISA SEAMLESS AM A SHAME
which in all of it many verses
and meanings were directed at
those folks who professed and
talked religion but in their every-
day life everything they did was
the direct opposite of what they
professed and talked about .

talking about the singers would

HERE'S WHAT THE ARMY

SAYS ABOUT ALLOTMENTS. +.
In order to expedite payments
of dependency allotments for en-
listed personnel of the Armed
Forces, Third Army soldiers who
are entitled to the allowances I'M
der the recently enacted law will
be paid the allowances directly for
August, September and October,
Amy officials have announced.
After November 1, administra-
tive procedures should be complete
so that allotment checks will be
sent directly to the dependents of
such personnel.
The allowances under the new
Act range from $4,000 per month
for lowest grade with one depend
ent, to $500 per month for per-
sons with three or more depend
ents. The service members con-
tribution to the allotment ranges
from $4,000 for the lowest grade
to $4,000 for the highest grade.
The allotment check to the de-
pendent or dependents will be COM
posed of the allowance to soldier
plus the soldiers contribution.
Example: Private with one depend
ent, allowances $4,000, soldiers
contribution $4,000, allotment check
to dependent $500.
Questions concerning allowances
or allotments should be directed
through the enlisted member of
his Unit Commanding Officer
rather than directly to Army
Agencies.
