The National Emergency Civil Rights
Mobilization And The Southern Negro

Up in Washington the other day where some five
thousand delegates from forty-two states met in Ma
tiona Emergency Civil Rights Mobilization something
took place which should be of the greatest future sig
nfcarce for the rankandfe of intelligent southern
Negroes but to those of the in the south
who trying to give honest leadership and right d
rection to the Negro in the South.
With little voice in the planning of it's affairs
by Southern Negroes, while making the desire to help
the southern Negro its central and major theme the
National Emergency Civil Rights Mobilization went on
record supporting the Fair Employment Practice Bill
the most important in the Presidents Civil Rights
Program choice having become necessary for the
obvious that it would be impossible to place equal
emphasis four single propositions at and the
time.
In spite of this designation of the Fair Employment
Practice Bill most important by the Mobilization and
its demanding that it be acted upon first by the Con-
gres the most import and the first and foremost need
of the southern Negro is the RIGHT TO VOTE, and
FREEDOM FROM FEAR, which in the language of the
civil rights program s first, and foremost in import
the Anti-Poll Tax Bill, Immediately followed in it's
Importance by the Anti-Lynchng Bill.
Giving the right to free and unrestricted vote and
the freedom from fear that properly enacted Anti
Poll Tax Law and AntLynching Law would give him
the Southern Negro is willing to work out his
nomc and political problems in the trials and errors
of honest political participation and experience.
Moreover the southern Negro looking at the thr-
teenth fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the
Constitution of the United States, has learned to know
that no kind of law will help him unless he is able to
vote and therefore sit on the jury, and participate in
the election of the judges and other officials responsible
for the enforcement of the law In his present political
condition. the Negro in the South with the enactment
of the FEPC bill, would be better off than he has
been during than sevent-ve wears the exist
ence of the above amendments to the Constitution of the
United States.
The significance of the National Emergency Civil
Rights Mobilization for the rankand-fe intelligent
Southern Negro and Southern Negro leaders lies in this
fact that it becomes and evident that South
ern Negro Leaders must speak for the Southern Negro
out of greater knowledge of the conditions and cir
cumstances surrounding them as the surest way of
bringing about his economic and political emancipation.

LOU WAR;
10 fittings

New York City-There is moth
ing like paying tributes to those
worthy of them while they are
living, so today this column pays
tribute to several folk in the old
home town-St. Louis, Mo-, who
in 1949 stepped into key positions
as FIRSTS: DR.. E. L. Grant APP
pointed to the ST. Louis Board of
Education, Beige Wyatt elected to
the Metropolitan Board of the
YMCA, G. D. Brantley elected as
one of the vice presidents of the
Missouri State Teachers Associa-
ton, and Mrs. G. d. Brantley elect
ed to the Board of the Girl Scouts.
Of those FIRSTS special tri-
butte must go to the Brantleys
whose two children have also
earned for themselves outstand-
ing places among Youth with the
daughter having finished Fonte-
bonnie College in June and the son
at Millikin-August +. both 1949
grads. Thus, you can see that
1949 was a banner year for the
Brantleys and having taught at
Sumner High School where Mr..
Brantley's guidance, direction,
supervision, and friendly counsel
ing as principal was always praise
worthy and still is, TRIBUTE can
easily be given by one who knows
his worth to and accomplishments
in ST. Louis, Mo. Join in and
give the flowers while the per-
sonalities can smell them.
Mention of the Missouri State
Association of Teachers brings to
the fore the year sis Pearl
Schwartz as President success
fully steered the Equalization of
Salaries" in Missouri, and sup
porting her were such folk as our
own G. d. Brantley, H. S. Dreer,
Thelma Meaux, Mabel Lewis. Will
liam Alexander, C. B. Broussard,
E. D. Hamilton, and of course
Dave Grant-not a teacher of prin-
cipal, but a wide-awake attorney
= and several other noteworthy
of mention but limited space linn
it's names.
Watch for the next Tribute, and
if you have one in your community
worthy of Tribute, just mail all
information to your Lou (Hotel
Theresa) Schwarz, because this is
your Column reaching you from
Coast to Coast.

Mature Thoughts
By RUTH r. WALKER

Be consistent! What you say
you will do, carry into action.
That is, unless your expressed in
tention was wrong. Then say,
what | said | would do is no
longer possible. Bull-headedly
stick to your first stand regard
less of consequences, and you can
wind up with ring in your nose
Also, not to change your stand,
and act differently, smacks of
cowardice and hypocrisy.
If your stand taken was right,
to stand firm, is like bracing your
feet against stone wall which
prevented you from getting in
volved. Then relax in your firm
knowledge that you cannot be
moved, and when you see Santa
Claus, without his RENDERS, do
ing a tumble off cliff, that was
not your particular Santa Claus.
Keep on saying, NO" while
getting committed deeper and
deeper by not knowing how to act
with decision, is pure folly. Yet,
to keep out of the way Of tempta-
ton is better than being rude.
After having said NO." once, and
then once again to make it en-
phatic, let the matter lie.
Many times, the not being able
to say "No," and then to stick to
it, is to be weighed in the balance
and found wanting" And if you
have been tried out only in the
hope that you would weaken, and
you do not remain self-contained,
who is to be able to say exactly
which one of you was after the
other one?
# deep IN your heart you know
that it is right you should say
Eyes," there is little need of per-
suasion, and such laxity of pur-
pose breeds contempt.
When you have learned how to
say NO." and stick to it, the
steadfastness of your character,
and the belief that you can be
relied upon, have become assured
by the facts.

HIS WORD

| am alive for evermore, said
Jesus, the Christ, and have the
keys of He'll and of death. The Son
of Mary and her child was caught
up unto God; and to his throne.
And the woman, Mary, the Moth
er of Jesus, the Christ, fled into
the wilderness, where she hath a
place prepared for her of God, that
they should feed a thousand two
hundred and three-score days. And
there was war in Heaven. Michael
and his angels fought against the
dragon and the dragon fought and
his prevailed not. Neither was their
place found any more in Heaven
and the great dragon was cast out
that old serpent called the devil,
and Satan, which deceiveth the
whole world. He was cast out into
the earth and his angles were cast
out with him, and | heard ALOUD
voice, saying in Heaven; "Now is
come salvation, and strength, and
the kingdom of our God. And the
power of his. Christ, for the accus-
er of our brethren is cast down,
which accused them before our
God, day and night. And we shall,
and they overcame him by the
blood of the Lamb, thanks be to
God for giving Mary the wings of
great eagle that she might fly into
the wilderness unto her place,
where she is nourished for time.
And, and times and half a time,
from the face of the serpent.
Hail Mary, Mother, Jesus, God,
the Holy Ghost, Holy Trinity. One
God, Holy Mary, our deliverer,
pray for us, the remnant of her
seed, which keep the Command
ments of God and have the testi-
mony of Jesus Christ and sword
of justice. Amen.

Gods man has many things
To retard his great success
The world is on the air at lall times
When Gods man is trying to do
his best.

To take a stand for Christ
And yet the world is still watching
me
And finding fault of my life.

Everywhere go today
Taking a part in the house of
God
With their money they freely pay.

The world is almost at the head
In every Church where money is

Yet the lover of money is the root
of all evil
And at the end there will be a
dreadful hour.

Gods Hold word it tells us all
The world it loves its own
These Lords and Kings back in

Thanks be to God it won't be long.

He didn't say Judgment night
Jesus said for his people to love
one another
And treat our neighbors all right.

No more Double d. D. and Lords

Although sin is about to take
charge of Gods house
With unworthy money they pay.

The big men has Gods house
In charge again today
The lover of money is the root Of it
And the world is paying their way.

Come unto me and rest

And he has made me glad.

j. J. Norman, Assistant State
Supervisor of Institutional On
The Farm Training, to give his
views on the advantages of hav-
ing state association. Mr.. Har-
old Pritchard, Public Relations
Director for the Veterans On The
Farm Training Program also gave
some of the advantages which may
be derived from a state organiza-
ton. Mr.. A. G. Gordon, Itinerant
Teacher Trainer of Agricultural
Education of Alcorn A. & NJ. Col
lege, told the delegates about
some of the things being done by
the New Farmers of America, an
organization for boys in the high
school who are taking Vocational
Agriculture. 1t was shown how a
state organization of these young
men whose age limit ranged be-
tween the boys in high school and
the adult farmer could be of great
value.
Many of the delegates gave
many reasons why there should be
q state organization. After the
discussions it was moved and sec
onded that state organization be
formed. All committees necessary
to perfect an organization on the
state level and secure a charter
were selected and ordered to go
to work.
The name of the organization
formed is: The Mississippi Asso-
citation of Young Progressive
Farmers. The primary object of
the organization is to develop
group and individual responsibility
Of out-of-school young farmers in
programs of instruction in voca-
tional agriculture designed TO
meet their needs in in modern
farming.
Mr.. Percy Green, Editor of the
Jackson Advocate spoke to the
delegates at the closing session.
He said that all the wealth of the
world comes from the land and
that it should be the object of
every young farmer to secure for
himself piece of land. He also
said that the philosophy of Booker
T. Washington is now and for
ever will be the only salvation Of
people.
Professor |. S. Sanders, prin-
cipal of the Lanier High School
invited the organization to meet
here another year. He said that
congratulations were due to the
young farmers for interest in CO.
operation and the forming of a
state association.
The newly elected officers of
the organization are: P. c. Davis
of Quitman, president; Felix Wash
of Newton, vice president; Ma
thaniel Hall of Pontotoc, secre-
tary; Mac Pace of Mound Bayou,
treasurer; Willie Moses of Mag
nolia, reporter; w. R. Young Of

visor.

have just much rights to join in fight for the Civil
Rights program any one else. And in former years
their delegates if not exactly welcome, would at least
have been seated
But times have changed. There has been awak-
enng in the land Those self-styled liberals who
made common cause with the Communists, and who
shouted ed batter at any critic of their tactics have
the light They have to the realization that
the Communists not interested in Civil Rights
issue to bolster the cause of Communism And so the
Communists are barred from the meeting.
This change of heart has been a long time in the
making. 1t is better, however, to have it late
than not to have come at all.

done more for the Negro than any
other organization, and more for
