Reddick as the "Nehur of Africa. !"
Nevertheless, he travelled some
$500 miles, mostly by plane, in
order to bring the message to the
American people on what Afri-
cans, themselves want. DR.. All
kiwe pointed out the inability or
unwillingness of European powers
to furnish colinial people with the
necessities of modern life. He said
that, until 1947, Nigeria was will
ing to have dominion status with
in the British but after their pro-
posal was turned down at that
time so contemperously, these
West Africans now insist upon
complete independence.
Riots and strikes have been go
ing on during the past two years.
The unpopular government has
shot down workers when they re-
quested 80 cents per day for their
work in the coal mines, DIR. All
kiwe called upon Americans to
support the African drive for in
dependence. He praised President
Truman's Four-Point Program.
However, he made it clear that
the American people and govern
ment must deal directly with the
African people and not through
the European powers that claim
the territory. Otherwise, the ben
efits will never get to Africa, but
will be siphoned off into the peck
etbooks Of the Europeans.
At the conclusion of this STIR
ring address, DR.. Horace Mann
Bond, President of Lincoln Uni
versity, told the audience of the
great popularity of Azikiwe among
his people. DIR. Bond has recently
returned from West Africa where
he is making survey of educa-
tional needs. He is the only such
surveyor who has bene invited in
by the African people themselves.
After DR.. Bond finished, DR..
w. E. Dubois, founder of the
Pan African Congress, struck a
note of caution. He said that the
Africans, in their struggle for in
dependence should not "ape" the
exploiting class conscious capital
ism of their white masters: that
there would be little gain for the
masses of African people if the
freedom movement the substitu-
ton of black masters for white
masters.

Ala. Cir. Court
Concurs On Glen
Taylor Conviction

MONTGOMERY, Ala. = The
$50 disorderly conduct fine levied
against U. S. Senator Glen Taylor
(D) Ida, as result of his scuffle
with police who tried to keep him
from entering a Negro church
through its colored entrance was
upheld Tuesday.
The Alabama Court of Appeals
declared Taylor's claim that police
used force in attempting 10 enforce
an unconstitutional law TO be ZEN
tirely without merit aud wholly
unsupported by record"
Taylor's lawyer, Arthur Shores,
of Birmingham, Ala. said he would
carry the case to the Supreme
Court of the United States if neces-
sary. But he will have to ask the
Appeals Court for another hearing
before that will be possible.
Taylor was arrested in Birming-
ham, in May, 1948. At the time,
he was campaigning for vice presi-
dent of the United States on the
Progressive Party ticket led by
Henry Wallace.
His defense was that Birming-
hams segregation laws were un-
constitutional.

New York City-Right here in
the heart of Harlem we have our
own julius Adams of the Amstcr-
dam News whose first book just
published calling forth another
one. And why not with Julius
being one who can put out a book
we would all want to read because
his experiences have kept him in
contact with personalities worth
knowing about such as you get in
his first "The Challange." Too
many orchids can not be given to
julius Adams and with Chaplain
Harrington already forming a
julius Adams Fan Club there will
soon be a need for another edition
of the same book.
Zeta La Cherries did themselves
up in style for the Holiday Season
with over 10000 cards and gifts
going out to shut-ins in various
institutions. Vashti Goodman of
Greensboro along with Grand Ba-
silues DR.. Woodbridge must get the
orchids along with all of those
who helped to start LA Cherries,

Epsilon Zeta La Cherries. To
Zetas we say, keep on keeping
on by just spreading cheer all

From all reports the following
Greeks had most successful meet
ings just before 1850 stepped into
the picture: Omegas in Chicago,
Kappas, Nashville; Sigmas in D.
c., where Brother DIR. Leonard f.
Morse, one of the founders, re-
ported a wonderful time; Alphas,
in Atlanta; Phi Delta Kappas also
in D. c., and those AWA's in Hous-
ton, Texas. One fine thing about
the Greeks is that they all work
together in the ACHR with it's
headquarters in D. C. One good
thing to remembers is that in
unity there is always strength.

PARISH STREET, SATURDAY
NIGHT: | used to hear the Old

I used to call her Old Lady Emma,

Lady Pap JONES'" Mrs. Keyes, and
Miss Alice, and "Old Fessor La
nier," my school teachers whose
impressions on me with the half
inch-thick-rule) becomes more af-
fectionate as | gets older talking
about teaching children by "Pre-
cept and Example" A kind of a
rule which included not only "Hon-
on thy Father and thy Mother"
but included also honoring all
grown folks anywhere in the neigh
borhood which included any of
them living within a radius of
eighteen square miles, which was
about all you walked in in them
days on a plumb Hunting trip"
Over by fish and beer | got to
thinking about how folks these
day are worrying about their off
spring, including Aunt Haggar's
Chillun's offspring, as we'll as the
off-springs of those other folks
who didn't need no coloration in
their skin because they got started
after things started slowing down
in Africa. In them days what Pm
talking about children started off
talking with the words eyes, sir,
Eyes Ma'am," "please" and thank
you," which the Old Folks fixed up
bearing down a whole lot heavier
on the example" than on the "pre-
cept," which went like this. Let
kid run up to the old folks, ask
for and grab a piece of bread
without doing it they'ed rap him
on the knuckle and say, "Put that
bread down, and say please" Let
'em say please and start running
off, they'ed call 'em back, smack
'em upside the head and say, Now,
say "thank you" Let a kid say
NAV" and "Yea" to his mother or
father, or any other older person,
and it would be all over the neigh
borhood that the child was going
crazy Especially amongst us kids
that is, after he had survived what
the Old folks put on the back side
in them days with anything from
a rattan to wet rope. | remem-
Der my Mama making me walk by
an Old Lady's house and speak to
her and tip my cap every evening
after school for 30 days, who lived
mile away, because she (the Old
Lady, had told Mama | walked by
her house with my head up-in-the-
air, with her sitting on the gallery
and didn't speak to her. The days
I'm talking about are the days
when folks raised George Wash
ington, Abraham Lincoln, Robert
E. Lee, Richard Allen, George
Washington Carver, and Booker T.
Washington. What's wrong with
the children today is that they're

PAY YOUR POLL TAX NOW.

FROM THE NATCHEZ DEMOCRAT-The Missis-
sipp Education Associations plan for raising the earn
ing Of Negro teachers being practical than
any advanced SO far 1t places emphasis
fundamental aspects of colored education.
Teachers of the state recently turned down pro-
posal that all instructors, White and Coored be paid
cordng to training experiences and the results of
animation They felt that emphasis should be
put the gradual improvement of Negro education IA
cties and making facilities accessible to members
of that race.
Thus they have proposed that the Legislature pro-
vide S4,800,000 year construction program to give
students of both sufficient cassrooms and equip
ment, 81 100000 to improve Negro students transpor-
tation facilities.
The emergency funds will make money for
Negro teachers of high calbre who deserve raises
The remainder of the money will lay the groundwork for
production of better teachers in the future-teachers
who justifiably demand higher wages-and more
educated Negro populace.
It seems to us that the M. E. A. has put it's finger
the essential point in all the talk about equalization
of teacher salaries That point is that Negro education
can be improved only by building solid foundation of
schools which will produce teachers of worth There
few coored teachers to be which rate very high
but the people should not be asked to support them
the expenses of others. That in itself would be discr
ination.

HIS WORD
By Archbishop w. ID. G. Johnson

By Archbishop w. ID. G. Johnson
The sword justice peace and
love, the judgment of God, the
Lord of hosts hath sworn of him
self, saying surely | will fill thee
with men, as with caterpillars !;
and they shall lift up a shout
against thee for the Lord made
the earth by his power; he hath
established the world by his holy
wisdom! and hath stretched out
the heaven by his divine under
standing. When the Lord Jesus
uttereth his voice there is a null
titude of waters in the heavens;
and he causeth the vapors to de-
scend from the ends of the earth.
The Lord Jesus maketh lightning,
with rain and bringeth forth the
wind out of his treasures, so set
we up a standard for King Jesus;
blow we your trumpet among the
nations; verify, verify, | say unto
you, that whatsoever We shall bind
on earth shall be bound in heaven
and whatsoever We shall loose on
earth shall be loosed in heaven
again.
I say unto you if two of you
shall agree on earth as touching
anything that they shall ask, it
shall be done for them of our
father which is in heaven, for
where two or three gathereth to-
gether in our divine master, Jesus
rame, he is in the midst of us to
bless. And there appeared a great
wonder in heaven; woman clothed
with the sun, and the moon under
her feet, and upon her head, a
crown of twelve stars; and she
being with child, cried, Travelling
in birth and pain to be delivered.
And there appeared another Won
der in heaven: and behold a great
red dragon, having seven heads
and ten horns, and seven crowns
upon his heads; and his tail drew
the third part of the stars of
heaven; and did cast them to the
earth; and the dragon stood be-
fore the woman which was ready
to be delivered for to devour her
child as soon as it was born. And
she brought forth a man child,
Jesus, the Christ, who now rules
all nations with rod of IRON
with justice to all, alpha and
omega, the two-edged sword, he
that liveth and was dead and be-
hold, l am alive for evermore,
said Jesus, the Christ, and have
the keys of hell and of death.

Two Roads Each Tells You
The Way To Go One Is To He'll
And The Other To Heaven
1. Thousands heard of things that
would be
And never live to see them come
Yet God got Glory out of their
work
And for this Gods work was
done.
2. When people except the Lord of
God
They will always stand in fear
But since they accept diplomas
from man
1t is hard to make them hear.
3. Two many degrees in Gods
house
And double D DIS | will say as
we'll
There is not enough of the love
of God
To save them from a burning
hell.
4. Jesus said to come as a little
child
Why come as a double D D
The people are lifting you up
to high
And your soul has not been made
free.
5. You want to see and be seen to-
day
Be Lord in Gods house as we'll
Unless we come as this little
child of God
And for Christ sake you have no
fear.
z. You don't fear the father in
Heaven
Neither Jesus Christ the faith
er's son
You are Splitting and rocking
Gods churches
And don't want Gods will to be
done.
8. A contract with the Devil for
Business
That's the Hypocrite in the
Church of Christ
He only join to be the ruler
And wreck all the weak mem
bers life.
9. A weak horse can't pull you out
of q bog
A weak man is not leader for
Christ
The strong must bear the in
trinity of the weak
Now who is prepared for this
life.
10 Gods people they wart separate
The strong will lead the week
What will become of the Hypo-
critic in Gods house
Running and hiding for two
weeks.
