TO VOTE is A DUTY
HIS YEAR each and every registered voter should make
it his duty to vote. It is his orher democratic right, and only
through the ballot can the individual citizen take part III his
government. Too often is there the tendency to take an indif-
ferent attitude towards duty, with the belief that others will
vote, SO why should any one particular voter head for the polls
on election day. This is an attitude which should be changed
immediately for only in exercising this right can any group
of people be assured Of their democratic form Of government.
YEAR seems all the more significant. In this cam
paign there are more candidates than anyone would have
dared to think possible, even a few month ago. This year the
issues tend to be more beclouded, as each candidate, going his
own way, tries to sell his point to the public. And when there
is such a vast number, the danger Of some unexpected candi-
date running off with the votes is always present. So that by
the end of election day. the results startling though they be,
might be too late.
THIS YEAR the electorate has double duty. First, to
make sure that they vote. Second, to keep as clearly as posi-
bic in mind the issues which must be met and decided at the
polls. Perhaps more than at any other time there is need to
place the emphasis on what a candidate can and will produce,
rather than upon the personality issue itself. All this repeated
warning comes because til SO very easy to pit one candidate
against another, and one group against another, or even to
gang up on one candidate. In this about effort, the voter is
very likely to lose sight Of what the real problems are, and
find himself moving along a given path merely because the
true line is blurred.
THERE ARE about six days left before Election Day. It
might be expected that in these days activity on all fronts will
be stepped up, new t~echniques Tor what may be considered
new will be injected into the fight, and words fly in all di-
rectons. And as this new tempo even goes higher, the voter
viii have to take time out to watch carefully, and see through
to the core of things.
WE BELIEVE that after years Of going to the polls, the
voters Of St. Croix BY now have enough experience to see for
themselves, and more clearly than most people think they can.
The time to use this understanding is on election day and the
duty is to vote.

Negro Writes
Christmas
Song Hit

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 20 -
A song that was penned by a
Negro disc-jockey on a local radio
station in an endeavor to write the
first modern American Christmas
carol has blossomed forth as the
first song hit of the 1850 Christmas
holiday season.
The song is christmas In Heav-
en-" and the composer is Bill Cook
the popular disc-jockey who pilots
the Musical Caravan" on WAT,
one of the most popular record
shows in the New York area.
Cook not only wrote "Christmas
In Heaven" but also recorded it
for the Regal label with the back
ground of Newark church choir
and well-informed persons in the
music trade predict that the rec
ord will sell over million copies
this season.

Of N. {. A. Is
Jackson Speaker

Christianity and Education were
declared inseparable in a Yes
pers Service address delivered by
Moss H. Hendrix, National Edu-
cation Association Representative,
who completed a three-day visit at
Jackson College on Sunday.
Speaking to the students and
faculty of the college, Mr.. Ken
dirk recalled that the founder of
the Christian movement, which is
the basis of democracy, considered
his career on earth that Of a teach
er.
'In this scheme of reference"
noted the speaker, sit would be i'm
possible for US, the believers in
Jesus Christ, to divorce democracy
and Christianity from education.
Instead teachers and schools must
work to make both real"
The teacher and the school were
termed as a combined force which
must push with untiring vigor a
type of learning that is able to
stand out as a leader in pointing
the way to the achievement of the
most elementary goal of democra-
cy.
Education must foster a society
in which mans humanity to man
will be dominant and which people
will go forward together without
hatred fear, or prejudice-forward
together to destiny fully aware
of the Fatherhood of God and the
Brotherhood of Man."
A native of Atlanta, Mr.. Ken
dirk was introduced by President
Jacob L. Reddix at the regular
college vespers presided over by
Rev. A. L. Rice, College Chaplain.
Music for the service was furnish
ed by the college chorus.
On Saturday evening, the NEA
representative was entertained at
a reception held under the auspices
of the Jackson College Chapter of
the Future Teachers of America, a
program project of the NEA.
The Washington visitors on Fri
day was the guest of the noon
luncheon of the Parish Street
branch YMCA. At the meeting he
gave a review of the MEAS cam
paign for federal aid to education.

Death Penalty

As several authorities in the field
of race relations have observed,
there is rape complex in the
South-a hangover from the ro-
mantle Civil War culture-which
leads to every attempt by the
Negro to better himself being in
terpreted as an insult to Southern
Womanhood. How many guileful
and neurotic white women have
played upon this atavistic social
feelipg:-and at what cost of in
nocent lives!
Therefore we respectfully re-
quest that you review the afore-
mentioned case with compassion,
keeping in mind the Negroes poign-
ant quest for equality before the
law, in your state and throughout
the South. Should you decide to
mitigate the sentences pronounced
upon these seven it will be an act
proclaiming the reality Of democra-
cy and progress in Virginia, in the
South, in America"

NEW YORK, Nov. 21-(ANP)
Doctor Ralph j. Bunche, 1850
Nobel Peace Prize Winner, direc-
tor of the United Nations trustee
ship division, and professor ap-
pointee of Harvard College, said
here last week that the UN "can
cope with the emergency in Korea

ing lectures by authorities on world
affairs, Bunche said he recognized
the difficulties which the UN faces
in view of the recent developments
in Korea, but insisted that people
Of the world want peace"
However, he added, 1--WE must
give the international body our in
dividual support, not by tossing
pat concepts of sophisticated de-
mocracy before other people, but
by bridging the gap between pro-
fession and practice Of democratic
principles at home"

Eta Molten
Next Sunday

Versatile" is just one of the
words that can be used to de-
scribe concert-lecturer Eta Moten,
but it is perhaps the best word to
use in view of her broad expert
ence on the stage, screen, radio and
television. Add to this the famous
mezzo-contralto's ability as a dra-
matist, public speaker and guest
lecturer before civic groups and
college students, and versatile" is
the word.
"a truly sensational success was
the debut of Eta Moten," stated
theenewspapers music critic. "The
famous colored singer who enjoys
an extraordinary and we'll merited
prestige is the most notable inter-
prefer that we know of this type of
American folklore, dominated by
her astonishing manner. And she
not only possesses the most charac-
teristic style which has been heard
in the singing of similar songs, but
she does it with a sensitive voice
full of expressive infections which
captivate the listener Immediately"
Known and loved on two CONT
nents, Miss Moten's early radio ex-
perience was excellent training for
her broadcasts on the capitol
Family Hour" conducted by Major
Bowes, the NBC network show
Cabin at the Crossroads" and
featured roles over WGN's "Thea-
ire of the Air" in Chicago.
Television, now coming into it's
own, offers Miss Moten a new
medium through which to present
her fine voice, and already she has
made several appearances on video
programs. Miss Moten's TV debut
was made over the British Broad
casting Company network in Lon
don.
Whether or not Miss Moten plans
to return to Hollywood after a five
year absence as rumored, the fam
Gus singer has already more than
justified her reputation as one of
the foremost mezzo-contraltos of
this generation-and certainly the
most versatile
Miss Moten will appear here on
December 3rd at the New Alamo
Theatre.

Police Chief Greene issued a
statement that his department "is
investigating reports that two or
three robed men abducted an I'M

about $50 pm.
The possibility of a practical
joke was not ruled out.
Jack Dempsey, an acknowledged

been "masquerading" as klansmen.
Dempsey denied that any of his

SHAME MUST LIVE AGAIN
You cannot live a Christian
Without some shame in your life
And you cannot be true husband
To a honest living wife.
Shame will stop you when tempted
Conscious say aren't you ashame
of such act
Your wife has sent you on an er-
rand
But shame will make you come
back.
Without shame a very little princi-
pie
When you marry a man without
shame
It's best you had never been mar
ried
When you have to bear the faith
er's name.
Shame belong to the human family
You can't find shame in a mule
The same applies to the ignorant
You will find no shame in fool.
Shame lives in the heart of a
Christian
But the world cares nothing for
shame
The world looks for something for
nothing
And care nothing for an honest
name.
An educated fool is dangerous
No shame and very little pride
They will disgrace woman in pub
lie
And think she has no right to
hide.
A fool carries no shame in his
heart
They think money and education
must rule
They will set up a spot of damna-
ton
And there he'll open up a school.
A school of destruction for the
young race
Some members of the church will
support
They have never been of the spirit
And they are only a church
house goat.

Things That
Interest Women
HOW DO YOU LOOK?
By BESSIE F, BELL

Time in which to pamper the
complexion is never-ending cycle.
We all know that beautiful COM
plexion is woman's most precious
asset.
Let nothing interfere with your
daily routine in the care of your
skin. Don't miss the Beauty Boat
because you do not have a lot of
money to spend in expensive sa-
Ions. The way to beautiful COM
plexion requires only proper daily
care right in your own home.
To give your face expert care
with only a little time, here is
what you may do, given you in
three important steps:
l. A cleansing cream. 2. A skin
lotion. 3. A lubricating or night
cream.
Every girl needs all three of
these facial essentials to complete
the treatment of her daily routine
in basic grooming, whether her
skin is normal or otherwise.
The cleansing cream should be
used to remove all trace of stale
makeup or any soil from the skin.
Skin lotion is used to stimulate
the complexion and as finishing
touch to remove the cleansing
cream.
A lubricating or night cream,
will help make a dry skin normal
and lovelier.
Your skin needs constant lubri-
cation to keep it smooth and soft.
AS soon as you notice tiny weather
lines, get right down to business
with them, and work to discour-
age them, or they may quickly
deepen into crows feet.
A NOTE FROM FASHION.
Even if you do not have a great
deal of money to spend on furs,
one need not dispair any longer
since we have now such good imi-
tations at prices within the med
ium of the average pocket book.
Yes, girls you may now express
yourselves, and satisfy your de-
sire, and wear what is popularity
known as fake fur. You can now
wear anything of fur, from a fur
blouse to a fur skirt.
These fake furs come in almost
every color, from pink to green.
You will be wearing fake fur for
daytime as well as evening. New
York's Fifth Avenue stores are
showing a viry chic number in
coat suit for the career girl. It's
a sort of two-faced model, made
of imitation American Broadtail.
On the reverse side is velvet. This
suit is two suits in one at a very
low price, and the color is all black.

100 varieties of African violets.

A Thought For Thanksgiving
Day, 1850

According to Press Reports, this week. Carlos P
Romulo, Philippine Foreign Minister and last years
President of the United Nations General Assembly
gave as the biggest kick of his diplomatic career the
occasion when he first succeed opening the meeting of
the Assembly with Prayer
1t is good reading in time like this to find that
great world statesman has been able to escape the
materiasm, and cyncsm of times to still hold on
to belief in an ultimate Justice and power Superior to
that of man-GOD
With all of the frightfu unfolding in the possible
results of present day world conditions more and more
those who are calling for movement back to Prayer
and God in the face of such accumulated power as
we now have in the United States beginning to sound
less nieave and out of date.
Taking the cue from the Philippine Prime Minister
on this Thanksgiving Day. 1850 the need for return to
God and Prayer is thought that might we'll occupy the
minds of Americans and people everywhere
