II on Actor Gets Hurt
In q Rehearsal, May He
Collect Compensation?

A group of actors in summe,
theater were rehearsing for mys
terry drama. During hull in the re
hearsal, one of the cast picked ur
a stage pistol and began shooting
with mock ferocity. To his aston
ishment, the gun suddenly went of
hitting fellow-actor in the
shoulder. When the victim later
tried to collect workmen's compen
sation, the producer of the play
opposed his claim. The producer
argued that the mishap was caused
by a prank-and had nothing to dc
with the mans job. But the court
granted the claim anyhow. The
Judge said that occasional mon,
keyshines" are only natural, es.
pecially among stage folk. and are
therefore an integral part of the
job itself.

A man ordered a drink at bar
and paid for it with a dollar bill.
The bartender put the bill in the
cash register. but. before closing
it. bent down to pick up spoon.
Quickly the customer reached over
the bar and lifted out the dollar!
When the bartender Strengthened
up. the man handed him the bin
again-chuckling about what a
clever thing he had done. The bar
tender. however, was not amused
at all and promptly had the Gus

Judge found the man not guilty,
saying: "Such conduct is silly and
often leads to trouble. but it falls

The brooding of chicks and turkeys
is nothing new to Mrs. c. c. Carter
of Scott County, but she's discovered
a safer, easier way to do it,"
Before she made her discovery"
Mrs. Carter brooded about $50 chicks
a year using a fame-type brooder
with reasonably good results.
She had some bad luck in the first
year of operation. A fire destroyed
everything - chicks, house, brooder
and all.
Mrs. Carter says, ~ started over,
using the same kind of brooder gain,
but began wondering if there wasn't
q better way to brood chicks. With
the old brooder, | had to sit up until
midnight or get up at that time to put
in enough fuel to last through the
night. Regardless of the weather,

had to &c, up early every morning to
add more. fiiea, since the first FIRE,
my mind was never ct case."
Mrs. Garter installed sn automatic
electric brooder last year. "Now," she
says, with my ne~ electric brooder |
only have to go to the brooder house
twice day to feed and water the
chicks. Electric brooding is wonder
full"
Besides the advantages of automatic
control, Mrs. Carter finds another big
advantage in broodins electrically.
''It costs me less to operate the cleo
trio brooder," she saga. than it did
to operate the old-fashioned kind.
Furthermore, because of my earlier
experience with the old brooder, |
remember above all there 10 NO ere

These questions will come be-
fore the Board of Supervisors on
Friday. They are important ques-
tons and should be answered
only after careful study. If inn
provements made during the las,
few years are not on the books
they should be verified and list
ed. Ii better roads or industrial
developments have caused par
cells of land to increase in value,
this should be reflected on the
books. But whether every foot OF
land within the metes and bounds
OF Dickinson County should be
valued anew is another question,
Then, if the job is to be done,
in part OF in whole, how shall il
be done? Other counties have
had expensive set-ups for the
purpose, supervised by experts. "
How much did those experts
know of local values? The people
of the Robertson District in Wise
County say they knew very little
and are appealing for redress
from assessments they say are
ruinous.
Finally what is the purpose OF
the agitation for reassess1nent?
Is the end of it EQUALIZATION, or is
it more taxes? If the total of as
sessed values is raised, will our
tax rates be lowered? Many OF
those who want some improve
ment or other can think OF only
one way of getting their desires
by raising taxes. Perhaps we
need a close study of possible
economies in government and a
search for useless expenditures.
Possibly, some deadwood could
be cut from our county budgets.
We raise these questions and
make these suggestions because
we think our supervisors should
not be stampeded. Nobody can
object to careful study of these
problems Our Board members
are, as whole, conservative and
honest men. They should take
this matter home with them and
get advice from the people of
their districts. That would be de
mocracy in action.

Still Much To Be Achieved
In spite of the advancement
made last year, there is still much
progress to be made. In Georgia,
for instance, a voters registration
law was enacted, designed to re-
duce voting by Negroes.
Three Negroes were lynched in
1949 and unsuccessful attempts
were made against Is others.
While officials demonstrated an
increased awareness of their obi
cation to prosecute the guilty
parties, still no prosecution re-
suited in conviction.
Official brutality to Negroes
continued with "a Negroes report
ed as being killed and another 33
injured while in police custody.
Although the U. S. Supreme
Court decided against the white
primary in the South, several
southern states continued their eff
forts to prevent Negroes from
registering in the Democratic pri-
maries, the only decisive election
in the South.
While segregation was outlawed
in the public schools of Indiana,
Illinois and Wisconsin, it continued
in II other states and the District
of Columbia.
New Jersey and Connecticut en-
acted laws to prohibit discrimina-
ton in public accommodations
such as hotels, restaurants, rail-
roads, theatres and beaches, still
13 southern and border states con-
tinue to require segregation in
most transportation facilities and
seven in recreational facilities.
Much progress was made in the
field of athletics, the booklet re-
vealed. Organized baseball had
more than 80 Negroes in the minor
and major leagues in 1949; college |
football discriminates; basketball
treats the Negro fairly; but tennis
discriminates considerably. Many
college swimming teams do not |
encourage Negroes to compete,
and Negro jockeys js.,1e,; are seldom &c
be found. Boxing has the best
record of all sports in its treat
mant of Negroes, while the AinefiA
can Motorcycle Association limits
membership to white persons only.
The comprehensive summary re-
leased by AJC and the NAACP
was the second such annual report
of civil rights in this country pub
lished by these two organizations,
the first being made at the close
