The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1950-05-04

To spur the raising of the
money for the television set for
James Green a committee was
formed by Reverend j. Ambrose
Hubert of Zion Hill Baptist
church. Serving on the Committee
are the following individuals: Rev.
Hubert, Rev. ]. o. Hawkins, Miss
M. F. Stokes, Rev. R. C. billiard,
Rev. E.. T. Britton, Arnold Braith-
waite and Dwight Mac-Pheeters.
Others are being sought to serve
on the committee, and will be
named later. AS soon as the COM
mittee meets and arranges a plan
whereby the balance of the money
can be raised quickly, it will be
announced.
In the meantime, contributions
are still being accepted at the
EXPRESS office. 1t is hoped that
the drive will be accelerated to a
speedy conclusion. James Green
will get his television. When he
gets it is up to all of us. Let's
make it soon.

JACKSON, Miss. CAMP A
battle for recognition under Miss
issippi laws is currently going on
between the Negro COP faction
headed by Perry w. Howard, and
it's rivals, the so-called lilly white
Republicans.
Recently, w. B. Smith, chair
man ofthe Negro group, announc-
ed plans to qualify the organiza-,
ton as "The Republican party of
| Mississippi" under the provisions
ola bill passed by the 1850 legis-
,~lature.
This bill, initiated in the house,
provides that any political group
desiring to register, must petition
for registration within 80 days af-
ter passage ofthe bill. 1t also says
no group may use the name or
part of a name of a previously
registered party .
The white organization has al
| ready been officially registered
under the state law as the COP
party of Mississippi. However the
! Perry Howard group is the one
recognized as the official unit in
Mississippi of the national COP
party
According to Smith,"We are the
! party which was organized in 18-
Y and which has been seated at
every national Republican con-
vention since that time" The OPP
posing faction, first known as the
Independent Republicans" sued
Howard faction in 1913 to pre-
went their listing candidates onthe
slate of Presidential electors. The
Howard group won, however. La
ter, at the COP national conven-
ton, the Howard group was reco-
Egnized and seated after another
contest with the white contigent.
Howard, who has lived in Wash
ington for 80 years, still claims
Mississippi as his home and voting
residence. He has been Republican
national committeeman for most
of that time. Mrs Mary Booze,
daughter of the late Isaiah T..
Montgomery who founded the
town of Mound Bayou, is national
COMMITTEE woman.

Nello Steinman, who six years
ago was down in Morgan City,
Louisiana, near the Gulf of Mexico,
says that next Sunday will be one
of the red-letter occasions of the
year at that place-the day of bless
ing of boats of the fishing fleet.
Morgan City, some 90 miles south
west of New Orleans in the midst
of the picturesque Cajun region on
river about IS miles from the
gulf, is one of the chief centers of
the shrimp processing industry.
Boats 80 feet long, each manned
by crew of three and powered by
diesel engines make trips to the
shrimp beds and return to dock at
the wharves with five tons of catch
packed in Clipped ice.
A whistle-blast signals arrival of
the boats and within matter of
minutes the packing house crew as
sembles and in a few hours after

ready for market. Shrimp fishing
and processing together with gath
ering of spanish moss in abundance
in the region forms the principal
means of livelihood for the inhabi-
tants. The moss is used largely as
packing and furniture upholstering.
Labor day, which marks the begin
ming of the new shrimp season, all

Grated, crowded with friends and
visitors form in procession on the
river and from reviewing stand

priest blesses each vessel as it

Silas Isl" Diller, Bluffton mer-
chant and vice president of the AL
len county fair board served as
official guide for Governor Lausche
and his party who toured exhibits
last Wednesday afternoon. With the
governor was his secretary Ralph
Locher, former Blufftonite and Sis
personal friend and soon the whole
group got as chatty as lot of old
time cronies.
Modern air transportation saves a
lot of time for busy executives these
days-Governor Lausche at his desk
that morning, left Columbus in the
afternoon and flew to Lima-from
there he went to Marion to visit an
other county fair and back home by
night.
Bluffton has made lot of tennis
history in the past 80 years, but
something new was added last
Thursday on the city courts when
John Bracy, playing set with
James Szabo scored direct hit on
bird perched on wire near the
court, apparently an interested spec
tator. The bird, thrown into a tail
spin by the hard driven tennis ball
nevertheless righted itself and took
off evidently without serious damage
to propeller or fuselage.

You're Only Two
Feet From Death

You're only two feet from death,
newsmcn today, anytime you ven
ture into the street,
Supervisor England's remark was
in connection with the Montana
highway patrols November program
OF traffic safety education, which
he heads.
About 5000 persons walked to
their deaths in l949," he said, and
the toll OF injured pedestrians a
into six figures according to the
national safety council. The danger
to those who walk in-or Cross
streets is ever-present. They are,
in reality, just two feet from death.
The Montana highway patrols
| November program has pedestrian
safety as its theme and is being CO.
ordinated in Montana in co-opera-
ton with the national safety council.
AT this time Of year Supervisor
England said, pedestrian deaths be-
gin their dizzy climb to top the
monthly average for the rest OF the
var. In cities, particularly, the toll
Of walkers is staggering during Oc-
tobcr, November and December. In
November we can predict that Pc
destrian deaths will run about 80
to 40 per cent above average.
The additional dangers Of reduced
visibility and inclement weather dur
ing these months make carelesness
and disregard Tor traffic rules on
the part OF pedestrians doubly fool
hardy, according to the Montana
highway patrol.
Special effort to emphasizes these
dangers to pedestrians this month
is needed, according to the Montana
highway patrol.
Our immediate goal is TO utilize
every means possible to bring home
to all walkers three important fac
tors involved in pedestrian accidents
Pedestrians should keep in mine
that
|. In any dispute involving a pc
dcstrian and a car, the car is sure
to win. The average automobile out
weighs the walker by 10 to 20 times
This is one good reason why it is
ridiculous for a pedestrian to take
chances. He can't win.
2. Rules and regulations designed
to control and protect pedestrians
are not based on whims. Surveys
made by some cities and states have
indicated that from three out Of
four to eight out Of ten pedestrians
in fatal accidents were walking ir
violation OF some traffic rule at the
time.
3. Blind obedience to traffic rules
