@. 1t has been said that no one can
"slide down the banisters." although the
phrase is popular in common speech. Is
this true?-J. C. z.
A. Quite true. A banister Cor baluster)
is one of the uprights supporting the
hand-rail at the side of a staircase. A
person, therefore, slides down the hand
rail. Baluster is the correct term for the
supporting posts; banister is corruption.

city now has a completely new,
modern, one-story building at the
Corral at 9th and jefferson SITS.
The structure, designed and built
by the Engineering Department, is
a first-class building, completely
restressed throughout, and has a
modern heating and cooling sys-

will house the Division of Pur-

Gardening Helps
Nations Health

Arizona's fall and early spring
vegetable gardens are source of
winter health second only to the
states climate.
Harvey F. Tate, horticulturist
for the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice at the University of Arizona
offers a reminder that it's time
to start thinking about 1851 fall
gardens in Southern Arizona coun-
ties.
Both city dwellers and farm fam
lilies, may find home gardening
project recreational as we'll as
healthful and profitable this fall.
Besides producing flavorsome,
healthful food economically, 1851
family gardens are a part of the
nations present defense effort.
Improvement of the American
diet through greater use of fresh,
crisp, homegrown vegetables is
another aim of the national pro-
gram. In addition, gardens are be-
ing counted on to release similar
fresh foods for shipment overseas.

No Room For Two
Flags In America.
Says Educator
By James Egert Allen

New York = Global During
these days when oppressed peo-
pies are struggling to lift the iron
heel from their necks, a. rather
quaint way of maintaining the
Status quo has emerged from
Southern thought and action.
Perhaps readers will recall the
triumphant visit of General Mac
Arthur to Murfreesboro, Tennes-
see, some weeks ago. In that little
town which was the native home
of Mrs. Macarthur, the southern
ers lined the streets with Con-
federate flags and buntingS on
the occasion of his visit. These
insignia Of the 'lost cause" were
far more conspicuous than the
flags of our Federal Government.
They were silent reminders that
the principles for which the South
fought in the Civil War are yet
alive. At that time, I protested to
the editors of LIFE Magazine be-
cause of the prominence given to
the display of Confederate flags
and buntings in the pictures car
ried in their journal shortly after
the affair. To think of children
living in the North and South
viewing the flag which brought
such havoc to this nation was to
know that the poisonous propa-
ganda of southern bigotry and
prejudice was having it's effect
upon the future citizens of our
land.
Not satisfied with their bold
display of reactionary ideals in
Dixie, the Southerners have used
the North to assist them. A recent
convention held by the Shriners
in New York City brought many
from southern areas and with
them a large assortment of small
Confederate flags which were fas-
tened to the radiator caps and
hoods of automobiles as they par
AIDED through this city. The fashion
has now spread to several cities
near New York and will continue
to widen the circle of towns who
will fall in line with the idea.
Northern youth have accepted
| the fad. In their innocence, they
| do not realize the educational and
emotional harm that can befall
them. Both North and South must
come to the realization that the
| ideals for which the South fought
were basically wrong. Unfortun-
ately in our textbooks and his
topography, too much praise has
been given to the leaders who re-
belled against human decency and
fair play. One of the needed
things in our educational system
today, is the revision of histories,
biographies and science texts used
in many schools throughout the
nation. Many of them were and
are written by individuals who
have veered far away from OBJ
jective and impartial writing. Pub
lie schools, colleges and universi-
ties can never educate a genuine
democratic citizen when he is
taught the inequality of man.
Recently the American Council
on Education conducted a nation
wide survey on texts used in our
schools and brought forth the find
ings that reveal the cause of BIZ
gotry and prejudice so prevalent
in many sections of our country.
The flags of the 'lost cause"
will intensity this attitude. Public
opinion must make itself felt to
the extent that there is no room

Letter To The
Editor
The Negro Problem Shifted TIC
Shoulders of White Man.

To the Editor of
The Arizona Sun:
I am writing you from the
windy city of Chicago.
Much has been said about the
Negro problem in America, but I
have experienced the Negro prob
lem in reverse.
On September 2, Phoenicians
chartered a special bus in Phoe-
nix headed for Oklahoma City for
the National Baptist Convention.
When we entered the bus, all of
cur cares were placed upon the
shoulders of the All American
Bus Lines. The driver was reSpon-
sible for our comfort. He had to
provide for us = a place to eat,
rest rooms, and everything we
needed on the trip.
I followed the bus in my car
all the way into Oklahoma City
and it really amused me to see
the white driver go from door to
door seeking accommodations for
81 Negroes.
In some of the little Texas towns
they welcomed his crowd, but in
others 1 could see the owners of
business places look out at the bus
load of Negroes and shake their
heads as to say, mo, no, you
have too many"
Two or three Negroes never did
constitute very much of problem,
but where you have larger num-
her you have a mighty problem.
On this trip, it was not the Ne
groe's problem, it was the problem
Of the white man. The white man
has never had to take a dose of
his own Jim Crow pills which he
has prescribed for the Negro and
does not know how it feels to
be told the toilet is out of order
He doesn't know how it feels to
be told, I'm sorry, but we don't
serve Negroes On this trip, this
was told us through a white bus
driver. This was the Negro prob
lem in reverse.
I think it would help white peo-
pie to witness the unpleasant eff
feet of segregation, which they
will if compelled to ride through
the South with bus load of Me-
groes. This was one trip on which
81 Negroes were not bothered at
all. They just sat back in their
seats and watched the white man
60 from door to door looking for
some one of his own race who had
heart big enough for true democ-
racy.
The biggest thrill of this whole
trip came to us in the little town
of Lubbuck, Texas. We arrived
there at pm. on Labor Day. The
driver pulled up to the bus sta
ton where the proprietor Of the
station looked out and saw a bus
load of Negroes and waved the
driver to keep driving. We went
to a white cafe and the owner said
No, no, too many whereupon we
went to another place and met
the same situation. BY this time,
the driver was much disgusted and
began looking for the Negro sec
ton of the town. He was told to
drive across the railroad track
and he would find the Negro Sec
ton. After crossing the tracks,
there we found them by the hun
dreds.
This kind of stuff is live bait for
Communism. If more white people
were to experience the same con-
ditions this bus driver did, I am
sure that a change would be very
soon forthcoming.
Every Negro on the bus acted
in good spirit. They were jolly and
happy while the white man suf-
fered in their stead.

"STR RAIGHT
AHEAD"
BY julius j. Adams


is sharply divided between baseball
people on the question of expansion
OF major league operations to in
clude teams on the West coast and
in the South. There has not been
too much support for a proposal
to give blanket big time status to
the Pacific Coast League. There
is, and for a long time has been,
strong backing for ahe admission
of one or more of the West Coast
clubs into the upper shrine of base
ball.
An alternative proposition was
offered recently recommending
that the number of teams in each
/ league be raised to twelve. At
present there are eight teams in
each league.
This proposal was no sooner an
nounced than a prominent sports
writer let loose vicious blast, as
Serting that such move would
be silly, basing his conclusion on
the grounds that there are not
enough good players in the major
leagues now to provide eight fairly
Well-balanced teams in each lea
que. That is probably true, but
once the owners of all clubs begin
recruiting players strictly on a
basis of ability, it may be shown
that there are hundreds of fine
players available.
AS it stands today, there are
only IA Negro players on the
rosters of 16 major league clubs
out of a total of 400 players, or
81 per cent. These players are
distributed among six teams. If
this proportion were maintained
| with every major league team US
ing Negro talent, there would be
40 Negro players. Incidentally, this
would be 10 per cent of the total
AS for the additional teams in
the league, objection has been
raised to West Coast teams also be-
cause of the distance. In that case,
we'd like to recommend a move
that would not only increase the
number of clubs in the league, but
would complete the job of wreck
ing Negro baseball that was be-
gun when Branch Hickey signed
Jackie Robinson to Brooklyn
Dodgers contract: Put Kansas ity
Monarchs and the Chicago Ameri-
can Giants in the American League
with franchises in Detroit and
Cleveland respectively. Put Birm-
ingham and the Philadelphia Stars
in the National League with fran
chises in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh
respectively. These presently Negro
clubs would proceed to build their
strength by dropping unsuitable
Negro. players and replacing them
with white players, thus reversing
the procedure of integration. May
seem fantastic, but the dream of
Jackie Robinson was fantastic 10
years ago.

school there. If enough mothers
are interested. Miss Davis will
conduct classes in Bethesda, too.
A creative dramatic program,
for children from to IL, will
bow this year. Mrs. Florence
Lowndes, who was associated with
Theatre Lobby. and was Cocoon
ductor of the School of Creative
Arts, will instruct. If there is suf-
flcient demand, an adult drama
class may be added in February.
The cooperative also hopes to
be able to organize and assist a
professional adult actors group
which will supply children's the
ater for the youngsters of Mont
gomery County, Mrs. Abrams ex-
planned. Once it is started they
hope for countrywide support.
Let's look in on Lee Sneider'S
pre-instrumental music class. de-
signed as an introduction to
music. In the hour-long class the
first Is to 20 minutes are given
over to actually learning notes
and rhythmic writing music on
a staff and learning time values.
Mrs. Sneider helps her students
make tunes and harmony out of
notes the class has written.
The second part of the session
is devoted to records-classical
records. Dixieland records, Ori-I
entail records, Swiss folk music.
opera adapted for youngsters. The
end of the period is taken up with
learning about an instrument. An
older child is invited to appear as
a guest. and although they're not
all artists, 1--WE occasionally have
terrific ones" Mrs. Sneider re-
ported. One youngster who
brought full set of drums to-
illustrate all types of rhythm soon
had people coming in from the
street to listen. After the demon
stration the children get chance
to see what it feels like to play
the instrument themselves.
Children who want to become
musicians can go on from this
kind of class, Mrs. Sneider be-
lieves. For them it bridges the
gap between nursery school and
formal study. For others it Gre
ates a valuable "at home" feeling
with music.
Mother participation is not re-
quired as much in this program
as it is in cooperative nurseries.
Mrs. Abrams explained. Twice a
year each mother is asked to come
and set up equipment for the
art class. In the dance group a
mother takes attendance. And, in
most of these groups. mothers
conduct car pools.
Two general meetings are held
each year and persons interested
in specific activities will meet
together this year periodically,

too. A Board of Directors, made
up of the officers and the chair
men of the various activities, is
responsible for the program. Two
advisory trustees are consulted
for suggestions.
Wed like to see a program
like ours taken over by the public
schools" Mrs. Abrams declared,
since it would reach all the chill
dren-but only if the emphasis
were on creative activity" The
Michigan schools have such Gre
ative groups, she added. and in
Illinois schools such groups exist.

cooperative is dependent on
churches and other community
groups for the use of their facil-
tiles. Their activity is still local
lied in the Silver Spring area,
but since their aim is to bring
their program eventually to all
the children of the county, a
central building would be i'm
practical, Mrs. Abrams explained.
AS a matter of fact. the group
hopes that similar programs will
be set up all over Metropolitan
Washington. Two mothers from
Washington whose chill
dren attend the classes in Mont

now.
The Board of Education of
