As Time Goes By
By NICK LA TOUR

(GlobaD - NYC = A very
famous actress who keeps some
weird company recently bought a
town house in New York City and
has been asking everybody she
knows what she ought to call the
place. One wag has suggested
"Oddfellow's Hail."
A New York mite club, LIE Coo
Rouge, in the fashionable section
of town recently gave an ami
versary part for debutantes and
their mothers and had among the
guests a 73-year-old deb and her
95-year-old mother, who does the
clubs quite often.

This hitler LATTER was heard in
Bop City," In the Spring young
mans fancy turns to what girls
have been thinking all the year
round" And speaking of Bop City,
one of the most popular niteries in
town, one teenager asked another,
Have you been to Bop City? It's

other sorrowfully," I've never been

Leonard Bell of Global tells this
one about a strange looking man
with a shotgun and a jug, who
stopped another man on the street
ana offered him a drink from the
jug. When the man refused the
stranger drew his shotgun and
made him drink. The man took one
swallow, spit it out and said," That

said, ''Now here, you hold the gun

Be Ready When Jesus Returns For
You Know Not The Day Or Hour
Does the people know how to please
my God /.
If they are failing to obey
They are trying to please the man
on earth
Just for things to come their
way.
Mans way is causing thousands to
be lost
Jesus said | am the way
Why should we have way of our
own
And leading the world astray
A spiritual way will lead you right
But mans ways are dark and old
Jesus says | am the way
Who died to save your soul.
~
No other man was able to come
Except Jesus Christ the fathers
son
And save a lost world of sin
With his blood on the Cross it
was done.
Many things man saws is right
But the Bible tell us it's wrong
Why not lift up Jesus Christ
You have lust after money too
long.
| believe every word the Bible says
| don't add nor take away
Ny people stop fighting in Gods
house
Everyday you are going astray.
VII
God is making a way for me
It's way that Jesus left US all
To all who would believe on him
And answer to his call.
He said he was coming back one
day
And receive his own we are told
I'll never add nor take away
For it is damnation to add more
souls.

jackson Needs A Recount
OF The Census

Up in Greenvile, the Queen City of the Mississippi
Delta according to press reports the folks may demand
recount following the completion of the Census taking
up there the other day
1t IS not unreasonable to assume that the reason
the GreenVle Folks may demand recount is because in
the first counting somebody has found out that lot of
folks was missed and not counted
Here IN jackson, what lot of folks knew already
ana what perhaps a lot more suspected was born out
the other day when Negro School Children found thou
sands OF folks, all Negroes of course who hadn't been
counted by the Census Takers
inns business OF Census taking is a lot more i'm
portant than it in the days of Rome and largely be-
cause now the enumeration of the folks has something
to do with the amount of money that comes back into
the community for education health and various other
Kinds OF public service for which money is aocated ON
prorata basis; and not just for the purpose of evvng
taxes ana tribute as was the in the days of Rome
because OF this pro-rata basis for during public
business the folks most likely to suffer from sloppy or
poorly done census taking job the members of the
Negro community.
- From the evidence revealed by the Negro School
Cmldren and, IN the light Of what has happened up in
Greenville, the Negro Chamber of Commerce having
initiated the efforts of the Negro School Children should
complete the job by demanding recount here in Jack

Things That
Interest Women
HOW DO YOU LOOK?
By BESSIE F. BELL

You are beautiful because yoU
are YOU. You are beautiful be-
cause of the things you do.
You may plaster yourself with
cold cream until you look like a
swimmer of the English Channel,
but unless you begin your beauty
routine by keeping yourself i'm
maculately clean, the entire effort
is a lost cause.
May is rose month. And did you
know that the beauty of a girl is
often compared to that of a rose?
You can be like a rose every month
in the year.
1t is only a matter of short
space of time now It'll we look for
ward to those heavenly lazy days
on the beach. How will you look in
your bathing suit? If you have
been faithful to your daily dozens
by this time, l dare say that your
waistline is very trim and you
have hewn down those bullying hips
and thesexcess baggage in the rear.
Never, never allow yourself to
become too busy to battle daily.
Then dust your entire body with
good body powder. Keep your
breath clean by being generous
with your favorite dentifrice This
too counts for beauty.
Give an extra amount of atten-
ton to your feet, for they will be
showing a lot this Summer. The
next time you hear from me | will
tell you bit about what to include
in your Summer wardrobe.

Waveland, Miss.-TF

1t serves no useful purpose to
sit and think, / hate Myself, and
to do so in the hope that thereby
God is impressed and will provide
for you in a better life in heaven,
it's downright silly. Rather, hate
to lose your life to further the
interests and glory of those who
misplace their zeal. Also, forget
that you will endanger your life
every day if you actually fulfill the
Fathers purpose to save the world.
am neutral as to whom the
Father condemns by using me as
his mouth and as to whether the
world will be destroyed when he
loses patience with mankind. In
any case, the day comes when each
one must die, and it will be a
sterile death for you, unless you
come to realize the praise of those
whom you have mistakenly agreed
with, it not of much value to you
If you lose the praise of God by so
doing instead of having an under
standing heart regarding me.
am the one to agree with, for
| have stood firm, staring you in
the face, while speaking Gods
truth, and you have hardhearted-
ly begrudged me your support.
Understanding my explanation
of the true meaning of the word
as truly spoken by Jesus Christ is
not so difficult, for it is simply
a matter of having an understands
ing heart. If you actually expert
ence such a change of heart, you
will grasp the fact that it was be-
cause of his tolerance and firm
ness Jesus was crucified, and it
was because of their tolerance and
unWllllngness to compromise his
true followers, were also killed.
Some of those early followers did
compromise and they were killed
or died a natural death, and some
OF his later followers have COM
promised by Incorporating the
worst features of Judaism, which
is hated so much, into his doctrine,
ana treatened to eat him up by the
lnflence they exert and their mis-
placed zeal. If you have so erred
through ignorance, now it your op-
portunity to join the company of

honor to wear a white servants
dress while cleaning up his church

THE BELL TOLLS
By LEONARD II. BELL

Under the guise of fighting
Communism men and nations seem
bent mostly on furthering their
own ends.
Prlme-Minister Daniel f. Malan.
OF South Africa, has now suggested
the formation Of an all-African
political and defense charter as a
bulwak against Communism.
This biased leader of South Afri-
cas- Nationalist government said
that this country was willing and
eager to place its political. ecoa
nomic, and strategic experience. at
the disposal Of neighbor states with
the aim of Preserving western
European Civilization in Africa"
"Nations which have interest in
Africa should consult each other"
adding that the Africa alliance
should have basis similar to that
Of the north atlantic capital and
inter-American pacts.
DR.. Malan said that the govern
ment had no territorial ambitions
beyond its plan for incorporating
the one-time League of Nations
mandate of south west Africa and
it's hope of getting back the Brit
ish-run Bechuanaland, Swaziland
and Basutoland Protectorates.
Evidently this rabid advocate Of
white supremacy in Africa has
pipe dreams of becoming a dictator
or an overload of all black people
throughout Africa, in the hope of
reducing them to a slave system
much more vicious then than they
now suffer under great Britain.
France, Belgium, Portugal, and
Spain.
This seventy-six year cd Negro
Halter Protestant Minister, are who
formerly was, seems to be carry
ing out the world wide tenets of
white" Christianity.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: longtime ago | learned
from my grandma that there amt
no kind of wisdom that compares
with the wisdom of them savings
found in the COOKBOOK, and
thinking about all the young gradu-
ates coming out of schools and
colleges these last few days, espe-
cially them coming out Of the col
leges with their diplomats in their
hands, and with them summa and
magma, and cum lordies. and what
not; | thought of my Grandma,
and how she used to look at my
young aunt, who was rather good
looking, when she was all dressed
up and prancing before the mirrow,
and say, in way that sounded
warning and sometimes a forebod-
ing PRIDE GOETH BEFORE DE.
STRUCTION, AND A NAUGHTY
SPIRIT BEFORE A FALL AS
| have observed, the wisdom of
the saying, which no doubt my
grandma knowed i. j.. works both
ways g. that is when there's too
much pride most times, folks with
1t don't ever even get-up nowhere
from where too fall do you
git me? Well taking into con-
sideration the way my grandma
used to say it, and from what I've
seen out here in the big wide world,
which is whole lot bigger than a
college campus and Greek letter
society, Pride is the first thing
them college graduates is got to
git rid of, if they're gonna git
nigh enough up in this world to
have a place from where to fall !.
Out here amongst Aunt Haggar's
Chilluns especial caused they didn't
git none of that PRIDE that most
of Aunt Haggar's Chillun's gifts at
the college, is why folks say is the
reason why most of the folks
starting from the ground the
most outstanding successes in the
Negro Community, are them that
amt seen inside of a college and
no other kinda school for long
enough for the school to learn them
moren how to read and write and
figur a little bit. Yes, sir, its
whole lot of things to be done, its
a whole lot of opportunity out here
in this big world :. special down
here in the land of Aunt Haggar's
chilluns nativity :. and | imagine
that if Grandma was here talking
to the college graduates and a
pointing at it she wouldn't fail, to
remind them before she got done
talking that PRIDE GOETH
BEFORE DESTRUCTION, AND
A NAUGHTY SPIRIT BEFORE
A FALL :.
