Without Nagging Backachs
Nagging backache, loss of pep and energy,
headaches and dizziness may be due to slow
down of kidney function. Doctors say good
kidney function is very important to good
health. When some everyday condition, such
as stress and strain, causes this important
function to slow down, many folks suffer nag
ging backache-feel miserable. Minor blad-
der irritations due to cold or wrong diet may
cause getting up nights or frequent passages.

HOUSING SITE REJECTED

Two or three weeks ago when the 400 citizens APP
peared before the Dade County Zonng Board protesting
the site chosen for the Federal low cost housing project
Hiaeah, felt that the Zoning Board would yield
to them The Board did yield, and the recommendation
from the Miami Housing Authority for rezoning turn
ed down.
The matter of course had to be brought before the
Dade County Commissioners whose perOgaive it to
cept reject the Zonng Boards recommendation The
County Commissioners took the matter under considera
ton The 800 400 citizens went before the Board
pleading that the Zonng Boards recommendation be
cepted The county commissioners after due considera
ton agreed with the Zoning Board; thus public
housing was given another setback.
The general public felt that because of the protests
both Zoning Board and County Commissioners would
ject the chosen site.
We must admit that while did not expect the Zon-
ing Board recommend the site, of the opinion
that the County Commissioners would reject the resolu
ton and recommend the site, that the million dollar
project would get underway.
After months and months of work by the Stun Clear
Committee and spending thousands of dollars max
ing plans etc. for the project the first site has been turn
ed down.
The given for turning down the site ques

Sam Manning In
Miami

Among the notables visiting
Miami this season is Samuel
Manning. Author, comedian, dan
Ger, theatrical producer and
world traveler, Mr.. Manning is
man of varied and ripe expert
ences.
During the mid nineteen thir-
ties his productions were among
the most popular plays of their
kind both in New York and Lon
don. "Harlem Night Birds" most
successful of them all, won the
praise of top critics in the theat-
rical field. The East Anglican
Daily Times of March, 1885 has
this to say:
can all-British Negro revue is
indeed a novelty, and in Jack
quello's production of the revue
"Harlem Night Birds" at the
Lyceum this week, 35 colored
singers, dancers and comedians
provide an entertainment of con-
siderable merit"
"There is plenty of comedy.
Sam Manning who is responsible
for the music, sketches, and the
production generally, pays up
splendidly to Shorty Mounsey."
The English and Irish presses
were strong in their praise of the
group. When the actors returned
to the United States the New
York Amsterdam News said:
Manning is a real artist, with
a cute sense of the humorous. He
appears in many of the scenes,
which number about score, and
in every minute he is winner"
While here, Mr.. Manning is
training a number of young tall
ents who are already active in
some of the night clubs.

. The Moving Finger
By L. A. THOMPSON

Thousands of train-men took
"sick" last week and almost
brought the nations railroad
traffic to a standstill. Food for
the boys in Korea, and some es-
sential commodities for the home
front were in the tie-up. Too
bad. Power has a way of spelling
most people. Put too much power
in the hands of capital and you
have trouble. Put too much in
the hands of labor and they tell
you the public be - (aS you like
it,! "Sick", yes. More than the
railmen are sick. Looks like the
whole world is sick - and crazy.
The MartinSville seven men &C
cused of raping a White woman,
walked their last mile to the cleo
trio chair on last Friday and
Monday morning. Their plight
aroused the sympathy of people
all over the nation. Petitions were
sent to the Governor of Virginia
and President Truman, asking for
clemency but all to no avail.
From what you read in the
newspaper the men were guilty.
And since they were guilty the
law says they should die. Who
are you to question the law?
It seems 10 some folk that as
civilization advances the power
that-be would find a different
way to dispose of such cases. If
the accused were guilty of that
crime they certainly could not
have been rational or normal
men by a long shot. They had to
be way below. With the number
of psychiatrists, psychologists.
and what have you, looks like its
time that something be done for
the mentally unfortunate besides
letting them run wild and then
killing them. Maybe, that time
will come.

JUST BROWSIN'
F++#+~+F+++++++++ -
BY Paul R. Henry

Florida certainly experienced
some northern weather last week
why we even had snow in some
of our cities and that is some
thing to shout about. The citrus
crop suffered much damage and
cattle died by the hundreds av-
eraging total loss of over
81 100000.
Miami had its share of the
cold weather but we had no snow.
Oil heaters, etc were at prem
ium and kerosene was unobtain-
able at a good many places. This
shortage was due largely to the
railroad strike.
On Monday and Tuesday
schools opened an hour and a
half later in accordance with the
recently adopted cold weather
schedule.
We are now again basking in
the sunshine with the tempera-
ture at above 70 degrees.

In the current issue of Negro
Digest Franklin Fosdick writes
on Negro schools as compared
with White schools.
Negro schools are "too far be-
hind to the times" to compete
successfully with White schools
on an educational and admins
trative level says the writer.
Low and antiquated teaching
methods of the Negro schools
must be improved at once. Some
schools emphasize the number of
PhD's they have on their staff,
but a man blessed with a PhD
does not necessarily make good
teacher" he added.
Low teaching standards, con-
tinue the writer, cannot be
blamed on teachers alone. "Their
capabilities too often result from
the fact that few incentives are
offered teachers in Negro schools"
More serious than inferior
teaching in Negro schools, be-
lieves Fosdick, is the lack of bal
anced educational programs.
"Many colleges profess to offer
liberal arts courses, but these are
inadequate. With vocational
training, the bitter truth of the
matter is that few Negro schools
are keeping pace with modern
trade school requirements"
