Amvets Party In
New Lake House

Members of London Post Am
vets, have been busily engaged
the past several weeks erecting
a social house for their use at
Madison Lake.
) Practically all the work has
been done by volunteer labor of
members, who have given unstin-
tingly of their spare time. Local
contractors have been generous
with their services in helping with
that part Of the work which took
skilled labor, the members say,
making it possible to have their
own playhouse at minimum OF
cost.
The building is Of cclrcnt block
40x20 in dimension and is built
just opposite the shelter house
on the east side of the lake on
land donated to the Amvets by
Thomas f, Wood. Attractive
hangings are at the windows and
furnishings are being donated by
members of the Post and its
auxiliary.
Last week the final touches
were put on. The next thing was
how best to have an inspection BY
all members, the Auxiliary and
friends. Being completed just be-
fore Halloween, the Post mem
bers had an idea for a Hard
Times" party Sunday evening as
a housewarrning.
Decorations of the club house
were appropriate for Halloween
and a most suitable setting fol
the assemblage of more thar
eighty guests, whose costumes are
reported to have been fearful
wonderful and hilarity provoking
The committee for arranging
the party and serving the buffe'
supper, was Joseph O'Connell
Robert Cline and Isaac Dulsky
appointed by Donald w. Byers
commander Of the Post.

TALK ON "FREEooM"
FOR goth CENTURY CLUB

DR.. Floyd Faust, pastor of the
Broad Street Christian Church,
Columbus, was the speaker at the
Twentieth Century Club, Friday
afternoon at the Club House.
DR.. Faust chose as his theme
for the afternoon, Fit For Free
dom" His address was an appeal
for the American democratic way
of life, with serious intent to
arouse an appreciation OF our free
domS, a better understanding of
them, the basic essentials upon
which their continuance rests, and
clear-cut challenge to each
American to do specific things
to preserve them. Parents can
shape the lives of their children
by beginning to train them as
early as, five years of age he
stated. He urges the return of
home discipline. One other thing
is to behave ourselves in a civil
lied society. The 1axity in moral
attitudes makes it most difficult
for our children to follow any
moral code of ethics.
Lastly DR.. Faust said all should
have sense of broader and
wider thinking today. We should
have, something ahead of us to
aim for, without this we would
not forge ahead. DIR. Faust's ad-
dress with its enthusiasm, deep
conviction as well as the human
interest and hunor was much en-
joyed by all the Club members
and their guests.
The Program committee also
presented little Miss Barbara
Laird who sang two solos. At the
tea served following the program
Mrs. Jesse Hart, president pre-
sided.

COLUMNIST McGILL ON
NEGRO HOSPITAL

Among many interesting articles being written by
columnist Ralph McGi in the Miami Daily News
one this week captoned NEGRO Doctors New Hospital
Has Deep Meaning For South"
Mr.. McGil tells of modern 5O-bed hospital built
and equipped and financed by Dr. Joseph II. Griffin OF
Banbridge Georgia, at a cost of $225,OOO.
The hospital recently dedicated and officials of
the city and county joined in the the city
square, The hospital will the people of Georgia,
Alabama and Florida.
Here are some extracts from Mr. McGills's column:
"This had meaning beyond opening the doors of a
hospital It symbolic of Negroes confidence in
the south It stood, too, for Negroes faith the future
would see developing southern democracy.
1t was that 1t was something else too

represented the Negroes hope the future holds for
him equal share in opportunities of education the ballot
justice before the law and just share in whatever
community provides for health and recreation.
It was that-and
was symbol of the Negroes earnest desire to make
accepted contribution to the development of the SOUTH
his hope for maximum development in the professions
and crafts.
any southerner his heart object to such hopes?
They the hopes human being should have They
do not jar single tradition of the south of America
They not radical. They merely suggest that if we
call all what is best in and women we get more
of the worst.
It seemed to me- standing there in the park about
the courthouse square, with August of the deep

thinking -
There is no reason why should stamp whole

THE SUPREME COURT RULING
ON NEGRO STUDENTS

To the layman most of our laws not understood.
That's why have lawyers. The lawyers too, have diff
ferent interpretations.
Last week the State Supreme Court decided that Ne
groes attend the University of Florida classes but
versity.
The state has plan that provides for all Negro stu
dents enroll at the Florida A and NJ College For those
desiring offered at this institution temporary
instruction may be given at white institutions segre
gated basis.
The ordinary layman would think that the Supreme
Court of the United States settled this question in the
cent cases of Texas and Oklahoma Evidently such not
the case.

The MUNDT, NIXON BILL
By Arlington. Sands


These are dangerous
times.
The present anti-commu-
mist hysteria threatens to
destroy a major portion of
our rights long taken for
granted. Such rights as: to
belong to any organization
we wish u. To associate with
whom we please To write
and speak our convictions
To read what we please :.
To advocate any unorthodox
ideologies.
Under the guise of expos
ing Communists and t h e
strengthening our defense
against subversive forces, a
vicious, anti-democratic bill
known as the Mundt-Nixon
Wood-Ferguson Bill, has be-
come a real danger to A
merican freedom and t h e
peace of the world.
The proponents of this bill
say only. Communists need
fear it. But you cannot sup
press the Communist Party
without imperiling the rights
of all American people. The
vagueness of the bill proves
that it is aimed at more than
the Communists, but the pro-
gressive elements who be-
lieve in peace and true broth
hood.
Should this bill become
law, the America we know
will be no more. The forces
which have effectively yelled
for economic changes and
social improvement will be
silent. The white defenders
of the Negroes rights will be
no more. For under the bill
a Communist is anyone who
advocates what the Commu-
mist Party advocates.
The bill makes it manda-
tory that all Communist and
Communist front organiza-
tons register. 1t establishes
a three man board to deter
mine who are Communists
and who are not. The board
will decide what organiza-
tons are Communist-front.
The board will decide what
you think, what you may
say and with whom you may
associate.
Here is the danger of the
bill. If the board consists of
prejudiced men who are op-
posed to the aims of t h e
NAACP, the board can class
ify that organization as
Communist-front. The organ
ization will have to register
as Communist-front or dis
solve.
If you are a Communist !
and fail to register you have
committed a crime and you
face a Jail sentence. If you
are not a Communist, but

THE SPECTATOR
Public Night School Recon-
mended For Miami

AL one OF IL recent meet
ings, the Booker T. Wash
ington High School Alumni
Association went on record
as indorsing a recommen-
dation coming from it's Pub
lie Relations Officer, Nat
haniel Lacey, ON a pro-
posal for the establishing
of a public night school for
! the Negroes of Miami and
vicinity. Lacey pointed out
that in many of the leading
cities in both the south and
the north, public night
schools are open and oper-
ated parallel TO the day
schools but the situation
was far different in Miami,
vicinity on the proposal,
much to his and many
others regret. He therefore,
recommended that the AL
umni take the lead in obtain
ing the Endorsement of all
of the civic and community
organizations in Mia m
which it is hoped will result
in the establishing of an &C
credited public night school
for the Negroes of Miami
and vicinity, which will be
operated under the direct
supervision, control and su-
port of the Dade County
School Board, in the same
manner as the public day
schools.
Several organizations have
already been contacted on
the proposal, and all have
Endorsed the idea whole
heartily. Many more will be
contacted soon.
An accredited public
night school for Negroes of
Miami, can we'll result in a
two-fold major benifit to the
community as a whole. In
the first place, there are
many students and former
students, both young and
old, who are very DESTROYS
of completing their high
school education, but who,
because of conditions over
which they had no control,
were forced to drop out be-
fore completing the course,
and who find it virtually i'm
possible to attend school in
the day time. These students
will be happy to attend
night school and finish their
courses. In addition to these
there are many others, who
for various reasons are un-
able to attend school in the
day time, but will gladly do
so at night
In the second place, there
are any number of prepared
teachers in this city, most
of whom are Miami young
men and women, who finish
ed high school in one of our
three local schools, and who,
because there are no open
ings locally for them, re-
main unemployed awaiting
a chance for something to
do. A public night school,
where the teachers are not
the same ones who instruct
in the day schools, can and
