A Case for Congratulations

A few days ago the news
papers told that the census re-
port for Winston-Salem showed
a population Of $1,000, and that
this was a bitter disappointment
TO some people In that city who
had hoped that the figure would
he l00, 900 or more.
At about the same time that
this was published, Lewis Mum
ford, well known writer on ar
chitectune, speaking 10 the
American Institute Of Archi-
tects in convention In Washing
ton, cited North Carolina as a
state that was fortunate in not
having large cities. Mr.. Mumford
observed conditions here during
the several months when he was
q visiting professor In the
school Of design at State Col.
lege last year.
THE best opportunity f0r
rural-urban development that
have seen anywhere exists in
North Carolina" said Mr.. Mum
ford. 1T Is a state that does not
have a single city with much
more than q hundred thousand
population, state Of villages
and small towns, with the towns
themselves, by some happy &C.
cident, already grouped in clus.

towns win form, within a gen
Grafton, dense metropolitan ag-
gregates as unfavorable to
human development as the din
giest industrial districts of the
North.
But there is no reason for
North Carolina's repeating the
sordid and wasteful pattern of
the past. If the people of the
state viii realize the values Of
the small town they can halt the
present tendency to urban ex-
pansioH. At least four great re-
gional areas could be developed,
from the coastal plain TO the high
areas which would preserve in
tact al the agricultural and
scenic resources Of the State,
and would permit the cities that
are now approaching the stage
of ruinous internal blight and
equally ruinous suburban expan-
sion the opportunity to rebuild
their central areas On q sounder
pattern
/ wish that the go-getters and
the watch-us-grow shouterS
could be brought TO understand
that North Carolina is indeed
lucky to be q state without large
cities and that they would de-
vote their energies u better pur-
poses than encouraging the in
crease Of city populations.
An increase in the number Of
people in q community does not
make the community a better
place 70 live in. In fact, often it
has the opposite result. Engag-
ing In an effort 70 make your
own city outstrip some other
city in population is about as
stupid a. one Of those revolving
contests, about which you hear
or read occasionally, in which
d championship is won by the
glutton VINO can consume the
greatest quantity Of hot-dogs or
beer Or coca-cola Or some other
article Of food or drink.

graduated on not having 100000
people, and AZ friend and adj
mirer of that city hope 1t viii

University Texas
.0k's Opponents
Use OF Negroes

HOUSTON, Texas, Nov. 6 =
| (INS) - The Board of Regents of
the University of Texas Saturday
voted to allow Texas Western col
lege at Ell Paso to compete against
football teams using Negro play
ers.
Earlier this year, a scheduled
game between Texas Western and
Loyola of Los Angeles was cancel
ed because Loyola had Negro ath-
letes on it's roster.
A board spokesman said the ac-
ton "relates wholly to the peculiar
conditions existing at Texas West
ern college and constitutes no
change in the policy of the Board
of Regents with reference to any
other branch of the University of
Texas"
Texas Western is member of
the border conference composed of
five out-of-state teams and four
Texas teams.
1t was felt that this geographic
cal situation should allow some
change in the policy toward Texas
Western, since Negro students at
tend the non-Texas schools in the
league.

throughout the game, scored next
on a driving off-tackle slant for
25 yards and the fourth tally.
James Ford, on three bullet like,
cn-the-mark passes to End Ben
Williams, engineered the opening
score of the second half. The last
heave covered 80 yards for the
six pointer. Point was good and
Alcorn led 800.
1t was then that Lincoln's only
score came on a thrilling 70-yard
run by William Robinson, who
side-stepped and shook off Alcorn
tacklers all the way.
Aubrey Hawkins was constant
threat for the visitors with his
rifle passes, and turned in an all
round standout performance, but
the superior Alcorn line was not
to be denied and Hawkins was
badly rushed all night.
Final scores for Alcorn came
late in the game. Big Jack Spinks
crashed through the Lincoln for
wards and with an amazing burst
of speed literally outran the en-
tire Lincoln team for 70 yards
and a score. Crump took a Ford
pass for the final tally.
Game officials were: Victor
Perry, umpire; Sam Sheppard,
field Judge; Claude Paxton, head
linesman; R. w. Harrison, referee.
Sports writer's from both daily
and weekly papers covering the
game, commented on the alert ac-
tions and rulings of the officials.
The game was extremely rough at
time but close and accurate Of
ficiating kept the play clean and
injuries at bare minimum.

the first being from the Trojan AS

Homecoming AT
Harris High School
bIackcats VS.
Panthers

MERIDIAN, Miss, Oct. 8 -
Final plans for the greatest Home
coming Celebration in the history
of the Harris Senior High School
are being made by the Homecom-
ing Committee.
Homecoming festivities will get
under way at 700 o'clock Wednes-
day evening, November 9th, with
bonfire, series of pep meetings
and spontaneous rallies, followed
Immediately by the ALUMNI
FACULTY RECEPTION, in the
School Cafeteria.
At 800 o'clock Thursday after
noon, the Annual Mammoth Home
coming Parade of some 80 odd
beautiful floats, one carrying "Miss
Homecoming" her escort and at
tendants, will tour from downtown
Meridian, to the campus.
Football greats" of yester-
years will be recognized, and pep
squad leaders. of former years will
be invited to join the present
pep leaders in directing yells and
pep displays.
The highlight of the day will
pit the thrice-defeated Alexander
High School Panthers from Brook
haven, Mississippi against the I'M
defeated, united Harris High
School Blackcats. Last year the
Cats added a sour note to Brook
haven's Homecoming celebration,
defeating the Panthers, 1918. The
visiting team comes, seeking re-
venge. Kickoff is scheduled for
1880 o'clock on the recently flood
lighted field.
One of five queens, sponsored by
the classes, will be chosen as miss
Homecoming" The novel feature of
the coronation is, the identity Of
the young lady who will be chosen
as the 1850 Homecoming queen,
and her escort, will be closely
guarded secrets until they are pre-
sented before hundreds of students,
alumni and friends at halftime.
That is, the queen and her escort
will not know of their honors until
the GROWING takes place at half
time.
Also at halftime, Mississippi's
two top bands will vie for recog-
milton with novel and unique for
nations and displays that will be
worth coming miles to see. Pre-
game plans include greetings fro<
alumni and visiting guests. The
homecoming festivities end with the
traditional Coronation Ball, in the
school cafeteria just after the foot
ball game.
All alumni, former students and
friends are urged to share in the
homecoming activities. Tickets to
the game and ball may be secured
from students or at the school Of

RICHMOND Va.-(ATLAS)-
A petition of seven Negroes await

in January 1949 was denied this
week by the State Supreme Court

The courts decision, read, by

court had been correct in denying
writs of habeas corpus for the
doomed men.
s. w. Tucker of Emproa, counsel
for the seven defendants, argued
that the state Of Virginia had
