Charles Dewberry, owner of the
Lincoln Drive-In now known as
the "Dew-Drop-In is in bad with
the law. According to the order
Of Common Pleas Judge Don

Grating a place considered by the

it inthe name ofthe Dew-Drop-In
and that more than fifty people
were arrested for being drunk in

The first example of 1850 of
the southern idea of christian
democracy is LYING on this writ
er's desk. 1t is a press release
fromthe city of Miami (Florida)
News Bureau. The story was pre-
pared by a Woody Kepner for re-
lease in the Negro press. We
Nigh say here that Mr.. Kepner
should best be briefed on how to
write a press release tothe Negro
press.
The release is headed: Negro
Aviator Will Participate in Miami
Air Show. The story is about
Charles R. Foxx, 81, a Negro avi-
ator operating a flight service in
Norfolk, Va. Florida born,. he will
participate in the All-American
Air Maneuvers in Miami on Janu-
airy 13 to Is. It marks the first
performance by a Negro in the
21-year history of the event.
The article goes on to state
that Fox was trained at the Tus-
kegee Army Air base where he
was a check pilot during the late
war. And that he will fly a mod
flied Boeing A175, also that his
speciality is low level stunning.
AS far as this the release is
harmless and newsworthy. But it
should have been closed right
there. However, it didn't. Without
further comment, here is the last
sentence of the release:
Especial seating arrangements
will be made atthe show for Ne
groes."

FEPC in principle. He said:
"We believe that the principle
of equal pay for equal perform
ance should be applied and that
wider job opportunities for Ne

Claiming that those advocating
FEPC were doing this for political
gain, Rep. Hayes continued:
Political bids for support of
minority groups outside the South
will not stop this progress; how
ever, they will make the task more
difficult and will play into the
hands of the extremists who,
masquerading behind the claim Of
states rights, would arrest the

must be determined comparatively
and that everyone concerned should
know what these policies are. The
activities of school health service
should not be limited to finding
defects. The program should aim
toward the prevention as well as
the correction of these remedial
conditions, and to the promotion Of
good health.
Consideration was given to the
importance of the school environ
ment in protecting the health of
children. For instance, even though
children know they should wash
their hands before they eat and
have developed that habit, it cannot
be done if handwashing facilities
are inadequate.
Another basic factor to the good
program is that teachers not only
have accurate scientific informa-
ton but have the right attitudes
toward HedlIil. IiCy lHNoS "'oO NS
improved methods of instruction so
that pupils learn more than just
an accumulation of facts. Methods
that will promote good health prac-
tices must be utilized.
Community Responsibility
The school health program can
be no better than the community
health program. Healthful or un-
healthful conditions in the commu-
nifty have direct bearing upon the
health of the children. In some in
stances additional facilities must
be provided. This may require re-
budgeting the money appropriated.
The health of school children is
influenced by attitudes and prac-
tices which exist in the commu-
nifty. Promoting good health may
not be as spectacular as curing
disease but what is more dramatic
than the miracle of health?

parents.
Mrs. Evans agreed. She had
spanked the boy for throwing the
stone.
But alrs well that ends we'll.
After a conference the magistrate
decided the case could be settled
with an ice cream soda.
He showed Ronnie the jail and
told him that little boys would never
have to stay there if they didn't
throw stones. Then to Powell he
said: "I'u tell you what we'll do.
If you'll buy Ronnie a great big

the school age child.
Cooperative Planning
On June 20, 1850, the Montana
State Medical association assisted
by the state department of public
instruction, the state board of
health and the Montana Dental as
sociation sponsored a physicians
and schools conference. Two hun
dred and twenty-five people from
all parts of Montana attended this
meeting. Among them were par
ents, teachers, school administra-
tors, physicians, dentists, nurses,
public workers, psychiatrists, ex-
tension leaders and representa-
tives from voluntary agencies and
health councils.
This group agreed upon several
essential factors for good school
health programs. They decided that
the program must be planned CO.
operatively by all groups whose
work affects the health of school
age children. Some of the made
ouacies found in our present school
programs are undoubtedly a result
of one individual or one group
planning alone.
