TOWN FIGHTS
FOR SURVIVAL

PUSING. Malaya-(P).-The
5000 residents of this little
mining town in Perak state of
Malaga are fighting to make
good" If they don't, they may
suffer the same fate as the vii
lage of Jenderam in Selangor
state.
The British forcibly evacuated
all Of Jenderam's LOGO people in
February and ordered it burned
off the map of Malaga because it
was ''wasp's nest" of Com
munist terrorism. The people
were screened and the worthy
ones resettled elsewhere. Pusing
has been described by a British
magistrate as the worst town in
Malaga" because there's been a
lot of Red terrorism, murder and
sabotage in and around Ppsing
The British have delivered an
ultimatum-tha there must not
be another single act of terrorism
in Pusing, or other arrange
ments" will be made. The hint
was that Pusing would get the
same medicine as Jenderam. The
British ordered the Pusing peo-
pie to organize themselves
home guard within as hours 20
protect themselves against the
terrorists. All able-bodied men
rushed to join up.

Red said YEARLY, 81 suppose its

Too plainly. it was no use. Jig

Soon, ne began briskly like a man

This Rock
Of Our"
By BILL GLIB

This Rock" has had occasion to
speak several times about many
of our fine loyal, Key West col
ored families. Word has now been
received that Cadet M/Sgt. T. l..
Roberts, son sof James Roberts,
Jr., 32l Catherine street, has been
given a military award by the
CT eensboroS Reserve Officers
Associations
Cadet Roberts graduated from
Douglass High School in 40, and
is now attending AIT College, in
Greensboro N. c. He will trans
fer to Michigan Ahis fall to com
plete his Studies for a degree in
medicine, -
Another eolored lad who is
forging ahead is c. Evans, son of
Milton Evans, Olivia street He
recently graduated as a construc-
ton engineer from an Alabama
college.
There are probably many other
Negro boys and girls in Key West
who are also working hard to adj
vance themselves with the ulti-
mate object Of helping their less
fortunate brothers and sisters.
They are doing job that no one
else can do for them. Namely,
solving racial problem that has
afflicted the United States for a
hundred years or more.
Normally, an experienced col
urnnist would place THE subject Of
racial problems on his taboo"
list. He would rate it with such
subjects as religion, sex, etc
something that is too dangerous
to handle on printed page.
I'm not an experienced colum-
mist.
Nor do | think any true believer
in God has not, at times, pondered
the sorrows and tribulations of
our colored citizens of the United
States. Theirs is a problem to be
worked out by evolution the
slow growth of the human being
through education and adaptation.
We White folks have only pre-
coded the Negroes by short span
of years in this growth. How
many years ago was it when kings
and emperors reigned, when sup
erstition prevailed amongst the
peasants and surfs, when a mans
title indicated his nearness to God,
and mans wealth determined
his rights over common man?
Let's remember this and in a
peaceful, loving way, try to help
the colored folks achieve their
goal of self-sufficiency and self
containment. sffff
