ual participation on the part of their people in
the problems of the community and the rights,
and privileges of their citizenship.
THE PINE BLUFF CIVIC ASSOCIATION
has directed its governor Harold Flowers, well
known lawyer to communicate to the Negro
park commission and the Pine Bluff city coun
Gil, the lawyer which 1t entertains about the
poor facilities for recreation for Negro children.
The directive indicates that an ultimatum will
be delivered within fortnight to the Negro
park commission and the city council that op-
portunities must be made available for Negro
children The organization is prepared to take
legal steps for the enforcement of the law and
it Is believed that unless immediate steps are
taken to improve conditions suit will be filed
in the United States district court Recently
the white park commission announced plans for
the establishment of a park facility for white
children in the southwestern part of the city;
according to information received here, the Ne
gro park commission has set itself to the task
of raising some money to tender to the city as
a means of encouraging action for more funds
with which to build field house which would
afford some form of indoor recreation during
the winter months.
INTEREST AMONG NEGROES Is PRES
beauty contest, an affair which does not net too
much to the Negro park commission but does
mean some business for the firms which sell
the suits and shoes and towels Poor leadership
is responsible for the emphasis which is plac
ed at the wrong spot! Nobody wants to get
rash. However, boys and girls are becoming de-
linquent each day and month. Yet, Negroes are
asked to follow leadership of men who seem
not too greatly disturbed over the terrible So
cial problem which the lack of adequate recre-
ational facilities is such a contributing factor
SOME ACTION WILL BE TAKEN, and it is
hoped that the men and women through the
organization in the Pine Bluff community will
rally to make a successful move to force the
city of Pine Bluff to give to every child an
equal opportunity to develop! ! Negroes are
spending much money on foolishness but once
the incentive to enjoy the benefits and the OBJ
legations of the democratic process are incul-
of this community, there will be no deterrent
influences toward providing ample recreatonal
facilities for Negro youths. Some of the lead
ers ought just take tour through Pine Bluff
and see the young and old in the honky tonks
Reports reach us here that the situation is so
bad that proprietor states that he is going to
ask the police officers to come around, Such a
heritage for the children of this community is
a disgrace to the people of city regardless of
race, creed, or color. Some of the big CHRIS
TIANS who parade in church, fraternal and ci-
vic circles ought go home and find corner in
which to PRAY FOR DELIVERANCE.

WARMING UP POLITICS was the theme of
a meeting held at the St. Paul community CEN
Ter. when the Rev. c. Wayman Blakey pastor
of Bethel A. M. f. church, in the city of roses,
delivered the keynote address, in his usual elo-
quenf and persuasive manner. Despite the fact
that less than one hundred Negro citizens
turned out to the meeting we regard the effort
as a means through which there will come to
pass a vigorous interest in politics. Shortly fol-
lowing the meeting interest in the coming may

AIRY session of the Democratic association will
be a crowded house DR.. W. E. OBryant presi
dent, announced great deal of concern over
the fact that more Negroes did not attend the
meeting, but as a word of consolation we wish
to inform the president that Negroes will rally,
ii and when they are convinced that there is a
concerted and sincere effort put forth to get
something done for the Negro people. We re-
mind the president that the fact that no camp
align pledges have been kept by any person who
made any promises warrants immediate action
on the part of the association. WHY is THERE
NO ACTION WITH REGARD TO THE POST
CAMPAIGN PLEDGE FOR THE APPOINT
MENT OF A NEGRO DEPUTY SHERIFF?
As suggestion, the president should include
in the call to meet matter of public interest.
THERE ARE NO NEGROES ON THE CITY
POLICE FORCE! NEGROES STILL MUST
USE THE ALLEY ENTRANCE TO THE JEFF
FERSON COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH CEN
TER. The mention in the call to meet of ally
important issue which the Negro people are
faced with, will bring forth the crowds.
CROWDS WANT AND DEMAND ACTION! IT
Is HOPED THAT WE HAVE THE LEADER
SHIP HERE. and ESPECIALLY so, when
there are yet no Negro members of the staff
at Davis hospital. So, we hope that when the
next meeting is held that some action will be
taken by the JEFFERSON COUNTY NEGRO
DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION which will
bring ray of hope to the members and the
people of this county. The soft pedaling of is
sues by Negro leaders is responsible in large
measure of the lack of interest on the part of
the masses of people. Negroes have an opportu-
nifty TO elect persons on the Democratic central
committee, and their leadership is moving "a
long under cover for the purpose of effecting
the gradual method of migration. We need
less graduasm. the people are no longer
fools.

NEW YORK. June 29.-The
startling fact that we now have
rockets able to shoot from the
moon to the earth has been re-
lvealed by Willy Ley. German rock
| ct authority.
This means. he said, a. possible
chance to use atomic energy to
lenforce world peace. It would be
done by the United States or the
~, N. setting up a military rocket
base on the moon.
The rockets. guided by radio all
the way, could hit any spot on,
earth.
There are two rockets for such a
1project-the American Viking and
the German Va. Either could
thit the earth across the 250, ,0O0
miles of space. But in reverse
they cannot shoot from earth to
moon. because the earth's gravita-
1tional pull is too strong. s.
| To build the moon base we have
to wait for atomic power. How
long? Mr.. Ley says about once
again as long as 1t takes us to de-
lvelope the right atomic reactor
Ior engine. This engine must pro-
duce a jet exhaust travelling TO-
