LET'S HEAR BOTH SIDES

In another state, Congressman has
been assailed because he mailed out, I'M
der franking privilege, nearly 100000
pieces of literature.
The Congressman. in his defense, says
that he wanted to give the people of his
district reliable information to offset pub
licity matter being mailed by the Govern
ment to create sentiment in favor of its
program.
1t is quite possible that the franking.
privilege has been abused, both by Con-
gressmen and by officials of the Execu-
tive Department, but, in the long run,
every encouragement should be given tc
the dissemination of information about
public issues.
Even the much-abused Congressional
Record has its place in the discussion of
public affairs Undoubtedly, many cop
les of this publication are wasted but the
fact remains that it is available to citizens
who desire to study issues debated in Con-
gress
We have read many structures upon
the Government, including Congressman,
for the propaganda that they send through
the mails We receive quite bit of pub
licity from various governmental agen-
cies. We also receive an equal volume of
publicity and propaganda from various
associations, organizations and businesses
seeking to influence public opinion.
Nearly everybody takes the view that
the PROPAGANDA sent out by "the other

licity that comes from those who advo-
cate what we think is right
Nevertheless, both sides of every issue
should be presented to the people of this
country and the process is thoroughly
American. We believe that intelligent peo-
pie will be able to distinguish between in
diligently presented facts and the unsup-
ported allegations of professional or polit-
zeal propagandists.

Fifth Street YWCA
OPENS Membership
Drive

The Young Women's Christian
Association opened it's drive for
new members this week. You will
probably be approached sometime
soon, if you have not already
been, by someone working in the
drive.
You cannot be urged too strong
ly to join. The YWCA has won
more respect from individuals
than any other organization of it's
nature in the country.
Compared to the YMCA, the Y
w is a lilly beside a thorn. For
the wv is far in advance of the
YIN in itsaintegration program. In
Springfield, just the past week, it
was announced that the Negro
branch was to be suspended. When
one considers the general attitude
about that sort. of thing which
prevails in this section, this rep
resents a great step forward.
Several years ago the national
organization passed a resolution
declaring itself in favor of elm
mating a segregated YWCA. AL
tho it has not done this in fact it
has at least laid the groundwork
for it.
The West Side YWCA has won
wide acclaim for being a ex-
ceptionally quiet and reserved
spot where girls can reside and
where they can participate in
many dormitory activities. 1t is a
spot where young and old people
of both x can find an outlet
for their talents and hobbies.
Membership in the YWCA is
highly recommended.

Others aren't SO sure.
For one thing, the Phils are a

Culinary
Association
Changes Name
By Alice A. Dunnigan

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE (AN-
P)- Because of nationwide in
terest, the Booker T. Washington
Culinary association agreed at it's
annual meeting held at Tuskegee
last week, that the name of the
organization would be changed to
the National Culinary association.
The Tuskegee chapter, which
was the first organized, will be
known as the Washington chapter
of the National Culinary associa-
ton. National officials suggested
that other cities would follow the
lead of Tuskegee and name it's
local chapters for some outstand-
ing figure in their own communi-
ties or for some person in that
vicinity who has contributed much
to the art of foods and cookery.
One ofthe highlights of the food
show held at Tuskegee last week
was the demonstration presented

The Philly Infield, ever though

league. Eddie Waitkus, complete
ly recovered from gunshot wounds
suffered last July, looks as if he
is ready to play in old-time form.
He's a good hitter as we'll as a
classy glove-man.
Mike Goliat a clutch-hitter, will
take care of second. Granville
Hammer will cover short, and any
club in the league would be glad
to have him. The same is true of
Willie Jones, at third.
The outfield could be very, very
good could be a disappoint-
ment. Richie Ashburn and Del En-
mis- r proven Major Leaguers.
Both can hit, and Asburn is a
"Speed Boy" when it comes to
robbing the opposition of base
hits. If rookie Ed Sawyer must
comet trough then Sawyer must
go with Dick Sisler, a first base
man last year; Dick Whitman, a
Pickup from the Dodgers; or

has looked sluggish this spring.

George Town
Recognizes
Builders Genius

DullUCI y VClIIuS
LAGRANGE, Ga. (ANP)-
John T. Kingy Negro bridge-build-
err, architect and contractor, had
to wait 23 years after his death
before his genius at building
bridges in Troup county was re-
cognized. King, with his father
and three brothers., erected many
bridges in the county, most of
which spanned the Chattahoochee
river.
The little-known constructor of
bridges died on May 27, 1926, at
the age Of 80. His structures, built
by a secret process without nails,
weathered the storms of time for
some 60 to 76 years. One such
bridge, a covered structure over
Flat Shoals creek between Column
bus and West Point, withstood
natures and mans abuse for so
years before it's mornings were
ripped out by the swollen creek
on July IL, 1948.
However, it was not until Kings
bridges were being torn down last
September to provide modern
steel and concrete bridges fol-
heavy motor vehicle traffic, that
the real worth of the builders
genius was appreciated.
Not too much is known about
the King process of bridge con-
~struction. 1t is known, however,
that pier foundations of sand
were designed forthe bridges by
combining the sand with huge tim
bers of heart pine, and also that
no nails were used inthe bridges.
King and Brothers George, Mar
shall and Washington learned the
business from their father, Horace
King, the original bridge builder,
architect and contractor of the
family. None ofthe five are now
living.
John King was the last immediate
lineage of Horace King. He was
born on May 3, 1916, and spent
most of his life in LAGRANGE. He
had nine children : eight girls
and a boy. Five daughters ire
still living. Three daughters and
the son graduated'from Clark uni
versity and another daughter fin
ished Howard university. During
his lifetime, King was Sunday
school superintendent of the War
rem Methodist church and a trust
ee Of Clark university.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is known as Beauti-

over the state of Ohio. In Dayton
the "Day" will be observed in
the Shiloh Baptist church.
All beauticians are urged to
attend the observation, if not at
the above mentioned church, at
some other church of their own
choice.
An oft times ignored profess
sion when It comes to handing out
plaudits, beauticians are a fixture
in all communities. All the lovely
coiffures bedecking feminine
,crests are the products of these
industrious hand artists. Their
hours extend late into the even
ing, a S many a husband can attest
to who awaited the "fair one" at

Local beauticians have extend.
ed aid in many directions in the
community. They have staged
benefits and have participated in

Hats off to the beauticians!
