The Right Way
BY JAMES E. DAVIS

There are two unseen forces which guide our dest-
n.y. Those forces the evil and the good force The
to Satan and the good force by Supreme Being
These two forces formulate right and wrong way of
living. | need not say which way should live for |
think you aware of the fact.
1t has been said that there are two sides to every
question. You readily guess what both sides are
of courSe-tS the right side and the wrong side. An
other point to consider the fact that people consider
sight when you live the right way and bad when you live
the wrong way To it up the right way is the best
and only way. This statement being true ask you why
do we, individuals have tendency to choose the
wrong instead of the right way of life to live? 1t is the
easy way? Do get pleasure and satisfaction from iv
ing this way If you do it is false pleasure and false
satisfaction. You will always come to some bad end
We try to take the short cut to success but there
is no short cut The really successful in life is the
one who has travelled that long hard road to
taking the obstacles they There many easy
ways but they are the wrong ways
1t only takes little initiative perseverance and
determination to do the right things thereby living the
right way You may ask yourself what right and what
is wrong? Many people think they know right from
wrong but sincerely they do not Their conception of
what is right the good things in life and what is
wrong the bad and evil things This brings up anoth
question How shall distinguish between the good
and the evil? Well, evil seomeseas result Of the good
to hepyo understand Clearly shah paraphrase what
Kahl Gibran noted philosopher and poet says about
good and evil He states that evil is merely good tortured
by its hunger and thirst. You good when you
strive to give of Yourself yet you not evil when you
seek gain for yourself You good when you walk to
your goal firmly and with bold steps yet you not evil
when you go there lmping for those who limp go
not backward But when you strong and swift,
that do not limp before the lame for that wrong
and evil You can be good in many ways but you can
be evil in many ways. The right way is the only
way. If you right then you can't be wrong.

LOU SW ARZ
10 THINGS

New York City-Here in our big
city there is one Program which
rates praise, The Happiness Hour
which comes over WHOM early in
the morning 2 AM to 5 AM to be
exact, but it is worth anybody's
ear for some of the mornings out of
every week; and the personality
who handles that Program, "Big
Joe" is just as grand as the Pro-
gram.
Big Joe sees to it that anyone
who needs to be made happy is
made that way and surely those
who are happy are kept that way.
Through him help is given to thous-
ands of persons weekly and his
listeners see to it that the finance
is kept on had to help those who
might need that kind of help. But
it is not only money that gives
happiness for in one instance an
OISdillZdIlOu uSSueu a L IdllO anu
when the request was sent to Big
Joe, he told his Listeners about
the need and the Piano was
Forthcoming the next day. That is
just one of the many many needs
filled through the Program by
this "Big-hearted and kind man."
Isn't it wonderful that there is
such a Program reaching millions
of people who know they have a
friend as Big Joe, and today we
pay him a tribute worthy of his
kindness.
Thanks to our own Willie Bryant
who is on the same WHOM proceed
ing Big Joe for the acquaintance
of his good friend and co-worker,
Big Joe.
Be "Big Joe" in your commu-
nifty and constantly make others
happy. It's just Lou (Hotel The

that he had also talked to Mr..
Thompson, who Mr.. Campbell said,
told him that he was only trying
to scare the niger into telling me
what he did with the slot ma
chimes.
Moore denied that he had taken
the machines.
Tuesday afternoon, Deput y
Campbell said he was willing to
serve any papers to be brought
out by the incident but that no
warrant for arrest had yet been
made for him to serve.
John M. Dean, Odell Moore's

ternoon that Deputy Ed Campbell
was Investigating into both sides
of the incident and that Campbell
had told him of an interview with
the Mr.. Thompson who Moore said
beat him at gun point.
He's Sorry Now
The "Mr. Thompson" told Dep

about what had happened" and
che apologized," Mr.. Dean said.
"He said that he had only wanted
to brighten him but that ne was
willing to serve time if he had
committed a crime" Mr.. Dean
quoted Deputy Campbell.
Mr.. Dean said that he had been
"too busy to give the matter my
full attention but that he expect
ed to make out assault charges
first and that his main purpose
was to find charges to file that
would help stop the slot machine
racket in Washington County, or
at least cut out this mans (Mr.
Thompson's) operation"
He said he chad not gotten
around to talking to Moore Tues
day about what charges he would
prefer" and added, chat the Ne
gro was only looking for protec-
ton, and Mr.. Campbell had prom
ised to protect him and to serve
any papers necessary"

HIS WORD
By Archbishop w. ID. C. Johnson

Cleanse my heart and my lips,
o Almighty God, who didst cleanse
the lips of the prophet Isaiah with
a burning coal; vouchsafe so to
cleanse me of thy gracious mercy
that | may be able worthily to
proclaim thy holy gospel, through
Christ our Lord.
At that time Jesus spoke to
His disciples this parable: the
kingdom of heaven is like the
householder who went out early in
the morning to hire laborers for
his vineyard, and about the third
hour he went out and saw others
standing in the market place idle;
and he said to them, $50 We also
into the vineyard and | will give
you whatever is just So" They
went, and again he went out about
the sixth and ninth hour and did
as before. But about the elev-
enth hour cometh the pentecost
day. After the miraculous descent
of the Holy Ghost, ST. Peter and
the other apostles began to preach
the gospel in Jerusalem and con-
verified 5000 Jews, the number of
believers grew daily and the church
spread rapidly over Judea, Sa-
maria, Gallilee and into the sur
rounding countries.
At Antioch, the capital of Syria,
the faithful were first called
Christians. Coming to Gentiles
also for Christ commanded that
the whole world shall be Chris
tians, all nations and all tongues,
are to be baptized and receive the
gift of the Holy Ghost. For the
promise is unto you and to your
children. st. Peter was instruct
ed by heavenly vision to bap-
tie the Genital captain Cornelius,
the counsel Of the apostles held
at Jerusalem about the year 81.
In the name of the Holy Ghost.
the Father and the Son, Amen.

BE HONEST TO YOUR
LORD THAT'S RIGHT

No need to try to cross the bridge
Before you get in sight
No need to try to fool every one
Somebody knows you are not
right.
| watch the world as go on
And some body is watching me
To see if | am living right
Thank God my soul is free.
| am somewhere in the State each
week
Lifting up Jesus Christ the Son
Who said He would do the trav-
cling for me
And for this the Fathers viii is
done.
God He knows all we do
If you expect eternal life at the
end
We have got to love one another
And stop living in our sin.
You cannot live a Christian
Dishonest to your fellow man
We have got to pay and Honest
Debt
Or else to hell we will land.
We have got too many members
in Gods house
Dishonest to their fellow man
Yet they are claiming they are a
child of God
On their way to the Promised
Land
Some are trying to change Gods
progam
Just to make it fit the man
Mans Program is a failure
My God it will not stand.
My Lord is your Lord today
If we are possessed with the love
of Christ
No back-biting and slew-footing
we have got
But we must live a Christian life.
Some say the Bible don't mean
that
1t only says thus ard so
But any time | add or take away
It's a hell for me to go.
l expect to preach Gods word
today
No adding or taking away
| don't expect to change His pro-
gram
For the Price the People will pay.

The primary election in 1913, in
which colored persons voted as a
result of the Judges decision, was
"the quietest election we ever had
in the State of South Carolina"
despite predictions that blood would
fill the streets of our Cities" he
said.
"The lesson of that is: If, you
tell them what to do and if you
make them do it, it's going to come
out all right. When you create a
decent and proper situation, when
you find the right status quo, peo-
pie accept it and they behave
themselves"

Washington Store
Asked To Lift
Jim Crow Ban

WASHINGTON, March "A re-
quest that the United Cigar-Whe-
Ian Corporation abandon its pres
ent policy of refusing restaurant
service to colored people in its
store in the Longfellow Building
here, has been made by the MA
ACP.
In a letter to w. G.. Baumhog-
ger, President of the United Cigar
Whelan Corporation, the NAACP
stated that since 1947 it has been
seeking a change in the policy
which excludes colored employees
and visitors of the Public Housing
Administration and the United
Nations Food and Agricultural
Organization, both of which have
offices in the Longfellow Build
ing.
The Association also requested
the State Department, the Public
Housing Administration, and the
United Nations Food and Agri-
cultural Organization to join in
asking the company to cease its
policy of exclusion which is vio-
laticn of the law. The Associa-
tons letter, dated February "a,
pointed out that, when the res
taurant was operated by the Gov
eminent Service Incorporated, all
persons were admitted without re-
gard to race. When the United
Cigar Whelan Corporation began
operation of the restaurant, it in
stituted the policy of excluding
colored people.

AS Time Goes By

The Community Friends of Music
presented the American String
Quartet recently at the Wardley
High School to capacity crowd.
The members of the Quartet in
Guided David Johnson, first violin;
Leon Wisdom, second violin; Mar
ian Combo, Cello; and Felix Weir,
Viola. Mr.. Weir is an ex-Howard
University instructor. The Quar-
tett was assisted by Allen Booth,
wellknown concert pianist. All
members of the quintet are men,
bers of the Cosmopolitan Little
Symphony, which is conducted by
Everett Lee, noted conductor. A
highlight of the program was folk
suite, opus 29-number one, by the
celebrated Negro composer Clar-
-ence Cameron White, who was also
present. The affair was attended
by many notables from the field of
music.
Urylee Leonardos will do the
lead in Carmen at the Masonic
Temple in Detroit on February 27,
as a final presentation of the De-
troit Civic Light Opera.
PEARL BAILEY will remain
with ARMS AND THE GIRL and
will double between the play to the
Greenwich Village Inn THEL-
MA CARPENTER into Cafe Socie-
ty Downtown.
The migration of entertainers to
Europe is leaving a lack of names
here in the states, says a we'll
known producer. Entertainers who
have been abroad for a number of
years now include dynamic JUNE
RICHMOND, the show-stopping
PETERS SISTERS, the dance team
POPS and LOUIE, the NICHOLAS
BROTHERS, saxophonist, DON
BYAS, HILDA GAMMA LUCAS
TAI SIMS, and many other we'll
known entertainers. However it is
my opinion that there are enough
young entertainers here to fill the
gap if some producer or hacker
would take the time and money to
build some of them into stars.

Mississippians
In Chicago
By JESSE L. NORMAN

1t was a pleasant surprise for
us to run into the charming and vi
vacious Media Ruth (Boots) Clarke.
Boots is the young sister of Dot
Clarke Robinson. The last time we
saw Boots she was still little girl
in pig-tails, out on Rose Street in
Jackson.
1t is appalling to watch the City
Council of Chicago wragle over the
Housing situation in Chicago. The
whole Housing Program is stymied
because few BIGOTED ALDER
MEN still insist on a Jim-Crow
pattern in the ALLEGATION of the
proposed Housing sites. In order
to restrict few, the city fathers
are willing to let the whole people
suffer.
Elijah Westbrooks tells us that
he and family will spend Easter,
in the Jackson town visiting rela-
tives and friends.
The Easter season is here, even
though the ice and snow is still on
the streets here in Chi. We are re-
minded of that Easter Sunday
many years ago at Mt. Calvary
Baptist Church, our old friend Cal
vim Owens was to deliver the fea-
ture Easter speech, well, he did to
certain point. He began "Holy
Book Heavenly Guide, Singers ever
near my side" and after saying
this several times going thru the
agony of perspiring and scratching
for several minutes, Calvin made
an honorable retreat from the
stage. To us Kids this was better
than a perfect recitation, for sew
eral years this was our outstanding
laughing material.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT Every now and then
one of the good brothers up and
down the avenoo lets out with
what amounts to some words of
downright wisdom. Such was the
case up at the barber shop the
other night when one of the gen
tlemen gathered there made his
classic observation. This good
brother said one Of the things that
AUNT HAGGAR'S CHILLUN
could very we'll do without was
these little petty hatreds that they
practice among themselves. Now
this brother said that we had too
much of that going on for any
body to do any good. He said
that the educated people had no
great love for the uneducated.
And that the uneducated folk re-
garded them in the same light.
He said that .Baptists didn't have
no use for Methodists and Cath
olics didn't have mo- use for either
one. This good brother went on
to expound that The Zetas didn't
like the Deltas and the Alphas
had no use for the Sigmas. That
the professionals couldn't stand
the working people and the people
walking didn't like those that
was riding. This brother said that
until the day came when AUNT
HAGGAR'S CHILLUN, walking or
riding, professional or non-pro-
fessional, Delta or Zeta, Sigma
men and plain ole graduates from
the University of Hard Knocks.
. He said that until they could
all get together and realize that
only by working together as one
people toward one common goal,
they would all remain in one heck
of q fix.
