Mrs. Jeanne Moehn, Family Re-
lations Specialist of the University
Of Maryland, and the Home Dem
onstration Agent, held three Dis
trict Meetings on the afternoon of
December 5, 6 and 7.
The attendance was not all that
the Agent hoped for but it was I'M
derstandable for in one area every
one was butchering or helping a
neighbor, the church society was
holding meeting and the weather
was perfect for shopping trip.
The groups who did attend were
interested and responsive and with
a small attendance very informal
and active participation by every
one made the meetings worthwhile.
The week of December 10 is a
busy one for many club members.
On Monday, December 10, Mrs.
Ralph Beall met with the In.
ternational Relations Chairmen of
clubs who have cooperated with
her for the past two years. She
bad a rare treat for them in having
Madam G. c. S. Corea, wife of the
Ambassador of Ceylon, as speaker.
On Tuesday, Mrs. Ralph Beall,
newly elected president of the
Council of Homemakers, had
the new presidents of the thirty
four clubs and the new groups with
her to discuss the 1862 Program of
Work. The printed year books will
be obtained by the presidents for
their club members. The new
County Chairmen Of projects to be
carried this year will receive their
outlines of work.
Other activities of interest for
Homemaker members are the
Christmas parties scheduled for
this month when the clubs take
care of the gifts they will give to
the Christmas Opportunities given
through Mrs. Theodore Ricketts,, of
the County Social Service Ex-
change. All of the parties have
not been reported in to the Agents

Something On The Statements OF
Negroes AT The McComb Meeting

Down in McComb last week in meeting sponsored
by the Mississippi Economic Council in program of the
Citizens Council education the question put to
the Negroes present what do the Negroes of MISSISSIPPI
pi think about segregation 1t being meeting dealing
primarily with the subject of education the conclusion
OF the Negroes to whom the question was addressed
might we'll have been that the question related only to
the states segregated public school system.
In the widely published daily press reports of the
meeting the Negroes who considered it their RESPONSE
bilty to the pro-offend question reported
saying that the Negro citizens like segregation and
moreover they only wanted adequate educational OPP
portunitieS for their children.
Negro preacher in the meeting is reported to have
added to the weight of the teachers answered by assert
ing that eve want our Religion segregated as well as
our schools
1t would be surprising to those who have little ex-
perience with the trials and trbuations of living
Negroes but yet who like to say they know the Negro,
to really know how little the answers given at McComb
reflect the true thoughts and feelings of the Negroes of
the state. And Negroes themselves know that the
swers given at McComb might be given thousand
in the state.
Examine such answers more closely however, and it
will be found that such answers from Negroes are gen
orally the results of known experiences, well
deep faith and belief in the wisdom of that the
Bible which says:
Agree with thine adversary quickly, while
thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the
adversary deliver thee to the judge. and the Judge
deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into
prison
It be said with truth that all intelligent Negroes
III the state IN the firm belief In democracy hopes that
the day will never when American Citizen will
not be allowed the right of segregation by choice His
oppression and suppression from segregation by
law.
Daily the question of segregation by law in Missis-
spp we'll in other states and sections of the cOun
try is becoming the most embarrassing question regard
ing American democracy and world nsstence in assert
ing that racial segregation by law in Mississippi we'll
in other states and sections of the country believes
the claims and ideals of American Democracy is not go
ing to be answered by few Negroes answering load
ed question by saying, eve like segregation
All the world knows that the Negro is the weakest
element in Mississippi and American ife primarily be-
cause of segregation, and in that knowledge see the
Negro as neither responsible for the bringing about
for the elimination of segregation In the eyes of the
world it will continue to remain responsibility of the
white people of Mississippi well of those of the rest
of the nation

Birth Control
7 akes Hold In
India, Africa

NEW YORK - Mrs. Margaret
Sanger, honorary chairman of the
Planned Parenthood Federation and
founder of the birth control move
men, said, last week, on her re-
turn from London that new organi-
cation to control births are spring
ing up in India, with the endorse
ment of Prime Minister Pandit
Jawahral Nehru, and the South
Africa has established one center.
Mrs. Sanger attended the SEES
sions of the international Com
mittee on planned parenthood in
London. The group has been in
vited to hold its next December
1862 meeting in India, at the in
vitation of Lady Rama Rau, presi-
dent of the All-India Woman's
Congress.
Municipal clinics for information
on spacing children and otherwise
controlling child birth are being es-
tablished in India, with the city of
Bombay alone having six already
in operation, Mrs. Sanger said.
Declaring that the detectives Of
her organization are being hamp-
cred in England, Mrs. Sanger ex-
planned, by the payment Of govern
ment subsidies to large families.
She called this ridiculous and hui
initiating" although she is not OPP
posed to food subsidies for chill
dren.
The United States is ahead Of all
countries in advanced planned
parenthood, the founder of the
movement, asserted, with the ex-
ception of Sweden, for while here
the movement is promoted by
private organizations in Sweden,
it is government sponsored.

JackSOnVllIe, FIa-OccaSl0nally
one runs into an old friend of
ghom he or she can be justly
proud. Such has been my happy
good fortune here in Jacksonville
not that | do not have many
friends of whom | am proud. 1t
is only that | wish to place Elcee
r. Lucas high on my proud-list.
Lucas, as you may recall, ran
for the Jacksonville city council
last spring. Likewise you may
remember that neither Lucas nor
the other candidate of color, Por-
cher L. Taylor, ST., was success
ful in the try for office. This
corner does not know Taylor, but
it is also proud of his effort.
Our subject, Citizen Lucas,
started out to win d council seat
in city-wide primary, which saw
three other candidates pointing
lor the same post for which he
mad offered. When the primary
vote was counted, he stood face
to-face with former City Judge
James M. Peeler, a 70-odd-year-old
war horse of many campaign.
This story might end here,
since Judge Peeler now was the
second primary victor and young
Lucas has returned to his task
of being one of Jacksonville's
most progressive printers. Such
is a matter of history, as should
be the springs elections in this
northern Florida town.
The information | have gathered
mere leads me to go further, how
ever. 1t has already been pointed
out that Lucas campaign was
lun in a city-wide election. That
means that all candidates were
voted upon by all of the voters.
To get votes, naturally, all of the
candidates would be expected to
go to all of the people.
This is exactly what my friend,
Lucas, did. In the course of his
campaign he delivered 1872 vote
eekIng talks, of which a very
lew were restricted to the so-called
Negro community Of the ward
from which he ran. Wherever
political rally was here, he was
thereon the radio, in downtown
..otels, in city parks, ETC.
The most remarkable thing, |
feel, is the fact that there was
no vocal or noticeable resentment
to either Lucas or Taylor's cam
paign-among their opposition or
among the white citizenry of the
city. To the contrary, many
whites are known to have openly
worked on behalf of Lucas.
And the race-bate was not en-
ployed. Neither of Lucas oppon-
ents predicted a carpetbag rule
in Jacksonville should a Negro be
elected to serve in that city's
council. They were probably con-
WINGED that neither the white or
Negro citizens of Jacksonville de-
sired OF feared the return of such
a rule to their city.
Running as citizen, Lucas
asked for the "perpetuation of an
idea" THE democratic way of
life. He saw that ideal made ex-
pressive when he ran ahead of
MS second primary opposition in
at least one precinct where the
white vote was extremely heavy.
Reviewing the vote, the young can
didate attributes at least half of
his votes to white citizens.
| wanted to know my friends
most exciting experiences while
running for office in a southern
community on a city-wide ticket.
He had many, but he will best
remember the fine introduction
given him when he appeared be-
fore the exclusive hurry Hill
Civic Club-and was received as
he ran: AS A CITIZEN.
