Why Does The Negro Dislike Segregation?

Quite a few white southerners seem
to have the idea that the Negro opposes
segregation because he wants to associate
with white people Nothing could be further
from the truth.
There are two kinds of segregation
compulsory and legal on the one hand and
voluntary and self-imposed on the other.
This article refers to compulsory and legal
segregation.
The average Negro feels that segrega-
ton marks out the Negro as an inferior
class. We do not segregate aliens. We do
not segregate Indians. We do not even
segregate criminals unless they have been
assigned to specific quarters by prose-
cutor, judge, and jury. But present
practice suggests that it is better to mix
hardened criminals than to mix criminals
of different races. In fact, it appears to the
average Negro that the only justifiable
cases OF segregation seem to be criminal
conviction, contagious disease, or black
skin. Otherwise, segregation is out of
harmony with our political democratic in
situations.
The average Negro feels that COM

advantage to the Negro. The poorer dis
tricts, the districts without paving, without
proper lighting, without modern conven-
fences, isolated from community centcrs,
nearest the vice-sections, nextdoor to the
bootlegging joints and other downgrade
institutions, are assigned to the Negro. In
the matter of schools, smaller and often
less Well-constructed buildings, far inferior
campuses, more limited equipment, less sat
isfactory curriculum, and when possible
cheaper teachers are the rule As for recre-
alton facilities, look what segregation has
done to the Negro in Little Rock. Even aft
er special bond issue was passed. it
could not be spent for the purpose passed
until it had been utilized to get for the
community other benefits not specified in
the bond. At present and to date there is
no more city recreation for Negroes in the
city of Little Rock, proper than there was
before the bond passage. How different
would have been the picture if there had
been no segregation? Segregated facilities

1t is generally conceded that there's a
gambling spirit in all of US. In some cases

Well, here's a genuine, IA karat,
straight from the-feedbag sure thing" that
every one of US can have piece of -. the
American Cancer society.
There's no such thing as an incurable
disease" says science. There are only dis
eases for which the cure is not yet known"
On this very logical premise, cancer re-
search Is no gamble = it's long term in
vestment with a precious dividend of life
itself Along the many avenues of research
which may lead to discovery of cancers
cause and cure, science is finding new tech
nques of cancer control which may some
day save your life or that of someone dear
to you. Today science and medicine are
saving the lives of one-fourth of all cancer
patients, who, not so long ago, might have
been considered hopeless cases.
The 1851 Crusade of the American
Cancer society gives everyone the privilege
Of joining the only national voluntary agen-
cy devoted to the cause of cancer control
exclusively.
Twenty-Five cents of every dollar con-
tributed is used for cancer research. Part
of the money pays for public and profess
sional education, regardless of race or color.
which, on the basis of present knowledge
alone, can double the number of lives saved.
And part of the money is used for service
to cancer patients and their families
Help Science help you. Help guard
your family. Help to conquer cancer by
contributing to the 1851 Crusade of the
American Cancer society.

How To Save 4 Life

The American Cancer society has a
sensible approach to the problem OF how TO
save lives from a disease whose cause is
,,nhnown. Its method is to teach the indl-
vtriual the seven danger signals of cancer
and remind him that although they may
not mean cancer the commonsense reac-
ton is to see his family doctor and make
sure. When detected early, cancer can be
cured.
Teaching cancer facts, like anything
else, relies on repetition. For that reas IN
We are printing here the seven danger
signals that you may have seen in eur
newspaper columns.
Amy sore that does not heal
"a lump of thckening in the breast
or elsewhere.
3-Unusual bleeding or discharge.
Amy change in a wart or mole.
5-Persistent indigestion or difficulty
in swallowing.
6-Persstent hoarseness or cough.
Amy change in normal bowel habits.
These may mean cancer they should
always mean visit to your doctor
The best way to reduce the cancer
death toll estimated at 100000 persons
this year is to start by saving one life
your own.
Another sensible step is to see to it
that the people who are fighting cancer
have the funds they need In addition to
wide spread public and professional educa-
tion the American Cancer society performs
many services to cancer patients and sup
ports a multi-million dollar research pro-
gram. An extra dollar contributed by you
will speed the day when cancer no longer
will be a major health menace.

streets in public gathering, anywhere. They
do not respect their mothers, sisters and
other women folk. Their stock in trade is
to be boisterous and silly, even repulsive,
in order to attract attention, however I'M
favorable Many of them do not attend
church, do not attend evening or night
school, do not read good books. They are
not connected with any literary or civic
organization and have no laudable life
objective When they do earn, they spend
their money for perishables; they are not
assets, but are liabilities to the community
Much of this undesirable, social civic
and economic condition of affairs is due to
the fact that these young people did not
have fair chance, were not given a square
deal-and the community is paying the
price in the loss of useful lives, embarrass-
ment paying Of fines, heartaches and re-
tarded progress--in the lack of progress
sive and purpoSeful husbands for young
women, the lack of leadership of dependa-
BILE and forward looking and marching man
power,
And yet the social, christian and edu-
cational agencies that can, and whose sa-
cred duties it is to help correct these un-
enviable conditions, have not arisen to the
occasion in sufficient numbers in Shreve-
port and other large cities in this section to
scratch the surface of the large problems,
but spend much time in criticising and
condemning conditions for which hey
themselves are largely responsible. lndif-
ference to duty and responsibility is all too
prevalent--too much talking about existing
evils, and not enough of action.
Crime is too costly. Preventive meas
ures are always cheaper than curative
measures. 1t costs less to properly train
youth than it does to punish them, or re-
call them after they have gone long way
In the wrong direction.

Auto Industry May Be Shut Down By Railway Strike

(By The Associated Press)
 The railroad switchmen's strike, now in it's second week with no general back-to-work movement in sight, threatened today to shut down the entire automobile indus try.
 Auto industry sources said car making may have to stop if the walkout continues another week. With 125,000 auto workers now idle nationally, they predicted the layoffs may soon rise to 600,000.
 Scant relief from the paralyzing effects of the strike was evident. Besides the auto workers, thou sands of other industrial workers, were idle and hundreds of plants were shut down.
 Only six trains were scheduled to leave New York's huge Grand Central Terminal today. Commut- CT services of both the New York Central and the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroads are tied up there. Some 10000 daily commuters are affected.

Truman Demands Drastic Increases In All Taxes

 The program, which would hit the pocketbooks of millions of tax payers, would nearly triple the excise tax on automobiles and more than double the tax on tele- vision and radio sets, refrigerators and other appliances.
 Three cents a pack tax would be added to the excise tax on cig- arettes, making the total 10 cents a pack. The excise tax on whis- key would go up about 60 cents a fifth and the tax on an ordinary bottle of beer would foe raised 1.3 cents.

Saturday, February 3, 1851
 JUNEAU, B- Competition is developing in the controversial legislative Investigating field.
 An alternative is being drawn by Democratic opponents of Rep. Glen Franklin's four-member in- vestigating committee measure.
 Chairman Wendell P. Kay, An chorage Democrat, said Franklin's bill will be reported to the floor by the House judiciary committee Monday with proposed amend ments ito safeguard against pos sible abuses of the McCarthyism type"
 Kay was to introduce an alter native bill today for creation of a legislative council of seven mem- bers. He described it as "sort of a little Hoover Commission sort of group"
 He said the bill would propose the council study all aspects of government between sessions, con- duct investigations, and recom- mend streamlining of government.
 It would have four House and three Senate members, with at least one from each Division and no more than four from one polit- ical party.
 Kay and Stanley McCutcheon of Anchorage are judiciary com mittee members expected to sup port the council proposal instead of Franklin's.
 Kay said he wanted to get the council bill in before Franklin's reaches the floor so the House can consider the two bills together. Franklin's bill has been in com mittee for more than a week.
 The House yesterday postponed for two weeks final action on the bill for licensing all real estate brokers and salesmen after re- buffing attempt which author Kay said would "cut the heart out" by eliminating the license forfeiture provisions.
 The bill would require examin- ations by real estate men and i-

INTERESTING ARRANGEMENT OF PLANETS THIS WEEK
 By Olaf HalverSOn)

There is beautiful and almost spectacular arrangement of three planets in the southwestern sky soon after sunset. They are align ed in a tandem formation, or straight line, toward the setting sun. The highest bright planet is Jupiter followed closely by Mars which is rather dim because it is on the opposite side of the orbit, and the lowest but increasingly bright is Venus.
 This week will show an inter- esting movement of these planets. By Wednesday, Mars which is rapid in its movement will be tip close to Jupiter. By Sunday Venus will be almost up by Jupiter.
 The moon also will add to the beauty of the sky and will assist in pointing out the planets. On Wednesday the moon will be close to Venus. On Thursday the moon will be close to Jupiter and Mars.

Oil Land Development Being Planned Near COrdOva

the area has been completed by Foran, geologist of Fairbanks, and George C. Martin and A. c. Mad dren of the U. s. Geological Sur vey.
 "'Only aerial mapping remains to complete the basic geological picture of the entire region," he said.
 The Katalla, oil lands, long rec ognized in Alaska as a potential producing area, were withdrawn from entry in 1910. They were re- leased in 1947.
 Gellenbeck said the geologists have found that the region is the only geologic setting north of Call ifornia that afforded commercial production of oil. Small wells have been operated in the area for long period.
 'This is the largest block of unitized acreage in promising potential oil province ever assem- bled in the history of the petrole- um industry on the North Ameri- can continent" Gellenbeck said. "I sincerely believe that today will be recognized as an import ant date in the history of Alaska .''
