The Editor, The State Press:

The lead editorial of this paper for December was
- the most bitter and tragic that have read for
he editorial expressed the idea that the Negro has little
anything to be thankful for 1t reminded the pro-
ayal OF human degeneracy the South pictured
o that Of DOOM William Faulkner No thank you
ysoiad not for sice
No. thankful for the things mentioned in the
da1oria We not thankful that anyone lives frustrated
e is not cheering to think people citizens
But is Is entirely another thing say that have nothing
for which be honestly thankful The who has moth
Ing for which he can give thanks is without hope And
man without hope threat society In his selfish nursing
his hurts and dpeasures he becomes preudced and
sonabe as the people who cause his affliction
Does the Negro in Arkansas anything to be thankful
for DO set at naugh the efforts of the NAACP? Would
to us Would that the Negro Arkansas OPP
poTntes at higher education than Negroes of earlier
hads Would deny that there progressrng though
1t at times? Would rather tie ourselves to the dis
NAL past would rather be thankful that have oppo
ty oh for human decency and brothery love for the
present for the future? Would the Negro Arkansas rather
take cognzance of the fact that there white people in
the who working for the things that The State Press
wants, This writer his wife and two children suffered disgrace
IN bis native of Arkansas because of his efforts in be-
half of the Negro Therefore doesn't exactly make his cup of
Joy when he reads editorial such as that OF De-
cber 1st The Negro the only ehnc group that has
problems THE Negro Question most certainly Is not the only
problem that confronts our human society.
In hankness all those in Arkansas who help to make
Nfe little endurabe enjoyable and enlightened think
The could well afford write little postscript to
the editorial of December LIST.

Mr.. Raleigh began farming with
his father on 30 acres at Poplar
Grove in 1908, Two years later,
he married and began buying a
farm Of his own. Today, he and
Mrs. Raleigh own 1855 IL acres
and home that has been recent

bathroom.
In their cropping program this
year, they had 100 acres in corn,
80 in cotton, Is in soybeans in
addition to that interplanted with
some of the corn, 80 acres in
lespedeza for hay, and the rest in
pasture and woodland. Six tenant
families and two tractors handle
most of the cotton and corn. Their
average gross income during the
last five or six years has been "a

DIR. Mays criticizes the Negro
leaders who have become socially
and economically secure who have
tended TO become eomplaeent and

MICHIGAN STATE
 ES RULED OUT OF
 ROSE BOWL GAME

CHICAGO, Oct. 31 - tHT = Any hopes Michigan State, winner of five out of six starts thus far, might have of going to the Rose Bowl were squelched today.
 K. L. (Tug) Wilson, Big Ten ath- letic commissioner, said that a ruling of May, 1949, was made by the conference permitting only a championship contender to play the final two games in the five year series which ends next New Years Day.
 Michigan State, which includes Michigan and Notre Dame among it's victims, is a member-in-name-only of the conference. The Spartans begin football championship play in 1853.
 With only a loss to Maryland (34-O marring their record, the Spartans have lately been boomed from several quarters as the mid vests delegate to the 1851 Pasa- dena classic.
 A new Rose Bowl pact, if one is ever signed by the Big Ten and Pa cific Coast Conferences, may prove less stringent than the current con- tract and leave possibility for Michigan State bid in 1852 or '53.
 The Big Ten race currently favors Illinois, Michigan or Wisconsin Tor the Rose Bowl bid, although the champion may not be any of them. Ohio State now is a heavy favorite for the crown, but the Buckeyes are ineligible for the Pasadena trip since they went last January, edging Cali fornia 17-14.

HUSKIES TO
 MEET BEARS ON SATURDAY
Speculation Over Game Regarding Rose Bowl
 -Betiing Is Given
By PAUL WELLS

SEATTLE, Oct. 31-R-Can "The Arm" pass Washington into the Rose Bowl, or will California power there with it's legs? The answer may be known Saturday when the two Titans of the Coast Conference collide here.
 "The Arm," of course, is canny pass-slinging Don Heinrich, who ha cracked half a dozen all-time Wash ington records this season with hi bullseye losses. As he goes, so go the Huskies.
 In six games he has completed r of 123 heaves for an average of .63C and 1,081 yards. Against Stanford last weekend he hit for 19 of 25. Before that game he was fourth among the nations passers.
 To counteract this aerial strik- ing threat, the Bears of California boast a running game described by Washington scouts as tremendous Figures bear out the label.
 In six all-winning games, Califor- mia has rolled up 1,674 yards or 320 carries for an average of PTS yards per game. By contrast, the Bears passing attack has been neg ligible, with B attempts, 27 comple- tions, an average of .370 and 436 total yardage.'
 Each outfit has won three and lost none in conference play. Wash ington, beaten only by Illinois vaulted in this weeks Associated Press poll from 2lst to 18th place on the strength of it's 21-7 victory over Stanford California holds down No. 6.
 Despite the Huskies' lower rank ing, the betting gentry have installed them as 6-point favorites over the Bears. The reason, undoubtedly, Is because the game is being played in Seattle-and Heinrich.
 The brilliant Washington quarter back has had more football experts climbing on his bandwagon after every Saturday.

ARMY NOT LOOKING FOR EASY CONTESTS; BLAIK TALKS OUT

NEW YORK, Oct. 31-H-Army doesn't go around feeling muscles and looking for soft spots in choos- ing it's football opponents, Coach Earl (Red) Blaik said today in de- lending the Cadets schedule.
 T don't think our schedule needs a defense" the West Point task master declared. Year in and year out we play as tough teams as any body in the country.
 But I know there has been crit icism of our card this year-I don't know where they get it."
 Blaik said the Army policy has been to schedule seven big games and plant a couple of lighter foes in the middle somewhere to give the boys a chance to relax.
 That would explain the appear ance of Harvard, played Oct. 21, and New Mexico, to be met Nov. II.
 There's nothing unusual about that" the Army coach added in a telephone interview. Practically every team does it and some spot breathers every other game"

DRIVE FOR GIRL SCOUTS TO START
 HERE ON MONDAY

With Kenneth Kadow as general chairman and Bob Akervick assis- tant. the Gastlneau Channel Girl Scout finance drive will start next Monday, 1t was decided at a joint meeting last night of the Scout Council and Finance committee. Mrs. Mernice Murphy, Scout Com missioner, presided at the meeting held in the Lutheran church social room.
 A goal of $5,000 for the drive was set. It was emphasized that the entire amount raised will stay in Juneau to further Girl Scout activities here. Tfs main pur- pose of the fund raising drive is to provide money to continue the summer camping program.
 This year there is a great added incentive due to the acquisition of a new Girl Scout camp at Tee Harbor on the site of the old can nery there. For the nominal sum of $10O, Nick Beg turned over to the Scouts for their use this ideal and highly desirable site.
 Although the Scouts have prom ises of donations of labor and ma telrials, a considerable sum of money will be necessary to provide minimum of facilities to start off camp there next summer. To use the site, water must be brought to the camp, cook house and recrea- tional shelter with cook stove must i be provided. As tents may be used for sleeping quarters, an effort will be made to secure surplus equip ment.
 For a number of years the Cir and Boy Scout units have both ut ilized the Eagle river camp which belongs to the Boys. However, the boy scouts are rapidly increasing in numbers and it is believed the time is approaching when they will need the Eagle River facilities all during the summer. Another draw back to the use of this area for the girls is the extreme difficulty in taking supplies into the camp. The girls cannot muster the man. power that the boy scouts com mand. Several hazardous experi- ences have resulted in transport ing supplies; not to mention back breaking toll on the part of willing fathers and friends.
