To TeIevise or Not?

do not own a television set and !
never hope to own one. But each day
that I pick up a newspaper I can al
ways find at least two disputes whether
to televise this affair or that affair.
I hear claims that television hurts
sports, television will ruin sports, and in
some instances, television should be-
abandoned. am surprised that large
broadcasting companies have not proven
beyond a doubt that television has not
only created a new interest in sports,
but has revived few old ones When
I read an account Of some fight pro-
moter stating that television keeps enor-
nous crowds from his doors, I am ex-
aSperated.
If these individuals would present a
half decent program, don't care
whether you have color television, 40
inch screen or what have you, they
would have normal crowds or more so.
I was under the impression that tele-
vision was for the average family of
America and, this being a free and
enterprising country, industry would do
its utmost for Mr.. and Mrs. America.
When basketball managers, fight pro-
meters and football coaches produce
determined, aggressive teams and events,
regardless of circumstances, television
will not hurt their attendance.

Nice FumiIy'

Every one is talking about whom we
shall nominate for President next year.
1t is good man we are looking for, and
I truly believe Gov. Earl Warren of
California is the man.
He is a family man, kind, and a
Christian. He has a nice family which
can set good example for our wonder
full country.
Let's pray each day that Gov Warren's
will be the family to reside in our re-
modelled White House.

Independence Day Conference
In an all day conference on the
Fourth of July, in the downtown
law offices of the long time fight
er for improved educational IA
cilities and opportunities, more
than thirty leaders adopted the
outlined legal proposal of their
attorney, to raise the question of
segregation as means of bring
ing about immediate aid to Ne
gro schools, and laying the
foundation for wiping out of the
segregated school system.
Flowers reviewed the history Of
court decisions in the field Of
human rights, and declared that
the separate but equal legal
theory which had been establish
ed in the courts will be proved a
judicial myth.
Opening the conference the
group heard Captain S. p. Hol-
land, United States Army Reserve
Corps, recently returned from a
fifteen day active duty assign
ment at Camp Chaffee, Arkansas,
relate the pleasant experiences
with the soldiers at the camp
where the Army's policy of com
plete indignation without regard
to race is working successfully.

where in some school districts
white bus drivers were reported

them leave their homes at a very

they were reported as having the
teachers dismiss the children for
