Methodistism' Dissenting Voices

MethOdlStS OF the BeSSemer District of the North
Central Methodist conference five-day meeting end
ing last week at Tuscaloosa, endorsed resolution COM
hitting them to policy of segregation both in church
and in state The resolution authorized by the district
superintendent, DR.. G. NJ Davenport, said:
Furthermore, we declare for justice to all races
but we are committed to policy of segregation in
church and society and in agreement with the plan
of unfcaton which set up the Central Jurisdiction as
the ablest means of carrying on the program Of the
church among the 100000 Negro Methodists."
The resolution, adopted by delegates representing
$4,000 North Alabama Methodsts, is more sign-
fican than would first appear the surface What
here suggested is that these white Methodsts and
have always been opposed to the policy and practice of
the Methodist Church in seeking to interpret Christ in
race relations. They disclaim the Adult Student
Methodist Youth publication because carries pictures
OF Negro Methodsts and regards Negroes having the
same human personality other Methodists.
1t is not easy to harmonic purpose and intent of
this resolution with the spirit and doctrine of Christ
of Paul who recognizes neither bond Free Jew nor
Greek in Christ Jesus
There is sharp conflict between these two philoso-
phies of Christian relations The will help to cement
better world with confidence and mutual trust The
other will continue to undermine the faith of peoples
and races in each other and nsti mutual dstrust of
each other For the most part Methodsts do not be-
eve in the views expressed by the Alabama Mehodsts.

The Mississippi Negro Student Is Not
Concerned About Mixing And
Mingling With White Students

lot has been said in recent weeks about Negro
students entering the University of Mississippi none of
which sounds ridiculous than what those are saving
who are talking about Negro students wanting to enter
white universities so that he mix and mingle with
white students
What the Negro students of Mississippi wants. and
the only thing he wants is the equal opportunity to pre-
pare himself that he might have decent chance for
success IN the struggles of life
One thing that need to think more about and
perhaps learn more about here Mississippi is the fact
hat IN order to achieve greater unity of it's people
and to do away with the old idea of the dominance of
one group the other-hundreds of students from
the native tribes of Africa studying in Oxford
Cambridge, Edinburgh, and the great university of Eng
land along side the flowers of the English speaking
race Recognizing the need for the real unity of it's peo
pe and the need for the education of the African native
Tor the responsibilities of citizenship in United British
Empire, nobody in England has raised the question of
building separate but equal" educational institutions
Tor the African students Yet England was the birth
place OF the Idea OF and color preudcea rationale
zaton manufactured in order to justify the pecy of
peria1 England z = = ~
One need not go necessarily to the origin of
racial and color prejudice for examples and comparisons
IN order to disspate such thinking and attitudes in the
state regarding Negro students attending the state SUD-
ported university sufficient examples have already been
given in sister states of the Deep South
Everybody with any knowledge at all about the re-
sources OF Mississippi knows that it will never be posi-
pie 70 Duld system of schools colleges, and universe
ties for Negroes of the State equal or comparable of
those already existing for white people,
Again what the Negro students wants and what he
entitled to American Citizen and as Citizen of
the State IN which he resides not the opportntv TO
mix and mlnge or ntegrate with ANYBODY but the on
porIuhy OF an equal chance to acquire the education

SCREEN and
F00TLIGHTS
BY JUNIUS BETHEA

NEW York; was full eve
ming along Broadway last FRIDAY
when Langston Hughes play, "Mu-
latto" became Jan Meyerowitz'
opera, entitled, 'The Barrier" with
stellar cast of stars, headed bv
Muriel Rain and Met Star. Law
renee Tibbett, first nighted at the
Broadhurst Theatre. 1t has all the
earmarks Of musical drama with
potentials that should insure it a
lengthy sojourn, but unfortunately
these potentials are yet to be ex-
plored to their fullest value. There
was superb singing and acting
some of the best that Broadway
has seen this season, but there was
less melodic exulation, and not
enough of the simpler moments
for play like "Mulatto." You
witness the unfolding of a story
rising out of the bitter conflict of
hatreds, prejudice filled to the
brlm with moments that await an
eiectrlfylng expectation. These
moments merely border on the
edge of hair-rising climax. 1t
just wasn't there.
Mr.. Meyerowitz' music never
quite descends to the level of this
typical, indigenous America theme
"a theme that is crowded with all
the savage passion and primitive
lust of philandering Landowner.
1t sounds overcivilized and remote
and distant from the narrowing
atmosphere OF "Mulatto." Yet. no
one will ever regret having made
the trip to the roadhouse to see
it.
The core of this singing drama,
is the scene where the mulatto son
of a Georgia Landowner and his
Negro housekeeper, decides that
he can live as white. Not only
did he discover that it is just not
the American way in the South,
but his father thought otherwise,
and he makes no bones about it.
This arouses deadly conflict be-
tween father and son that results
in the death of the father through
strangulation. The Negro mother,
curses the man who has been her
lover for over thirty years. Miss
Rahn's cursing of her dead lover
Lawrence Tibet is a scene to be
remembered long after the curtain
falls.
"The Barrier" is not "Porgy
and Bess" but it is a drama filled
with stark realism, and though
marriage of drama and music is
missing, the theme is not erased
and is still loaded with inspira-
ton.

Walk On Your Side Of The Road
Train your child to meet a car
Never walk on the other side
They walk all over the road
Trying to thumb a ride.
1t ought to be a National Law
No thumbing rides on Highways
Thousands loose their lives on the
And the drivers suffer the paw.
There are millions trying to get a
free ride
Something for nothing want pay
Sometime you are riding with a
stick-up-man
That's making his get away.
Its best to offer your sorrow
To a walker on his way
Than pick up thousands of thumb
no never 1nC6nQ TO nav.
People who thumb rides all the
time
Are not the thrifty man
They are looking for something for
nothing
And a ticket to the Promise
Land.
Why strengthen the hands of evil
When the Bible make you to
know
Evil is nothing but an enemy
Loafing from door to door.
The Bible says to train the child
Yet you feed them and grow
them up
Some day they will come to that
bitter Land
And don't want to drink of that
cup.
That cup of death is waiting
1t is hard to sip or drink
When your child you fail to train
them
And for that bitter cup they will
shrink.
| am giving you all the truth
1t is time to watch and pray
You need not expect your child to
be saved
And allowing them to go astray.
Mother train your child today
Father you do the same
The teachers are only educating
the child
But the mother and father are
to do the training.

Court Opens
Ky, Jr., College
10 Negroes

PADUCAH, KY, Nov. Fed
eral District Judge Roy H. Shell
bourne ruled this week that Negro
citizens of Paducah are entitled
to admission to acknowledgements
tanned Paducah Junior College.
whose enrolment has heretofore
been restricted to white students.
In his findings of fact, Judge
Shelbourne concurred in the posi-
ton of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, which represented plain
tiffs Fred A. Wilson, Jr., and
Henry L. Powell in their suit for
admission to the college. Paducah
maintains no institution of similar
standing, where Negro students
are able to obtain courses at the
college level. The court noted
that students attending Paducah
Junior College are able to save
from $500 to 5000 per year by
being able to attend college while
living at home.
"The plaintiffs" said the court,
"and any and all other persons
situated similarly !. are entitled
to admission to Paducah Junior
College as students, upon the same
terms. and conditions as -. men,
bers of the white race" Barring
their admission constitutes deny
ing their Constitutional rights un-
der the Fourteenth Amendment,
Judge Shelbourne said.
Attorneys handling the case for
the NAACP were Joseph Freeland
Of Paducah and Assistant Special
Counsel Robert L. Carter of the
national office in New York.

Things That
Interest Women
By BESSIE F. BELL
How Do You I.onk2

How DO You Look!
Right about now, the Winter
social season is getting under way
and with such exquisite styles at
our disposal, we must surely be
no. less beautiful and capable of
displaying them.
In the choice of formal wear,
we have various hemlines. The skirt
may touch the floor, or reach the
ankle, and we have the shorter
half-leg length skirt. But no mat
ter which skirt length one may
choose, there should be due con-
sideration shown in the selection of
the shoes to be worn in order to
/ achieve the best possible style as
well as comfort.
If you have stout legs and an
kles, do not attract attention to
them by wearing shoes with ankle
straps. This type of foot will look
pretty wearing plain opera pump.
OF course if you have pretty ankles
and legs, you will be able to wear
any style shoe.
If your foot is long and narrow,
and you wish to make it appear
shorter, wear shoes with bow, a
buckle or strap or two across
the csnter-front of the shoe. A
long narrow foot will look attrac-
tive in squa re-toed shoe.
A stubby, short foot will appear
longer when wearing plain and SIM
pie styled shoes. This type of foot
should never wear shoes with fancy
trimmings.
POINTS ON PERFUME
To be completely chic, every we'll
dressed woman should know how to
use perfume correctly. In the first
place, you should never douse your
clothes with perfume. Besides be-
ing poor taste, the ingredients that
make up the perfume are injurious
to most fabrics and colors. There
fore one should always apply per-
fume directly to the skin-on all
the pulse spots, such as; the throat,
inside wrists, in front of each ear,
in the bend of the knees, back of
the neck, in the bend Of the ell
bows, on the temples, and in the
part Of the hair. Why, you may
even rub the hands with your fav-
orite perfume as well as put few
drops on your hankie.
Remember, perfume is not all
liquid. In can be purchased in paste
as well as cream. This too, may be
applied directly to the skin.
When buying perfume, always
test it by applying few drops to
the skin. This way you will know
if you will enjoy wearing it.
A truly fine perfume may con-
tain over 200 ingredients, and many
of them are soothing. Rub perfume
on the feet. 1t is very restful be-
sides the heat of the Body will
help to keep the fragrance alive.
