clothes, shirts, suits, trinkets, Masonic emblems
and work tools But. the wake Is gathering
place for praise Of the dead, and inquiry of the
living as to what the dead left. 1t ought to be
abolished
THE BIG DAY is THE OF BURIAL when the
dead enjoys the benefit of clergy Half of the
people in most burial audiences have come not
so much as showing their respect for the dead
as to show their respect among those who sur
vive the dead. Just as there are hangers-on a
round courthouses, there are habitual funeral
goers. Makes no difference whether the deceas-
ed was known by the goer or not The preachers
are responsible for the show which takes place.
There are those preachers who have to bring
the family out of the mourner's BENCH shout
ing and crying. 1t is a great day for pulpit
becher' who in no instance will forego the
sorrow which has come to the family, to get
his ability over to a reeeptiv audience. The
mournful and rhythmic sentences are soothing
to everybody but the family. The chant stirs the
emotions and rekindles memories among the
people who make up the audience. Tears are
falling all over the place. IT'S GREAT DAY
But, then the professional funeral soloiSts get
the house ready for the pagan burial. The when
my life on earth is ended" and the when l
come to the end of my journey" songs set the
house afire and the souls are warmed to re-
ceive the message.
BUT THE WORST PART is THE LAST fill
ing past the bier to see whether the deceased
looks natural. 1t seems to me that this is the
most paganistic part of it all, especially when
the immediate family is given the last look at
their loved one-simply terrible! Our people
ought stop it, but it seems to run down
through generations. Nobody seems to want to
set the example. The bigger the deceased in
esteem and standing. the bigger the burying
WHILE NO CHRONOLOGICAL DESCRIP-
TON is ATTEMPTED for it would portray a
constant strain at every instance of an econom-
ic drain on the purses of the survivors and
friends of the dead. The cousins who must
come from across the Nation on borrowed fares
and clothes; the money spent for train and bus
fares and flowers; the loss of wages where
many remain away from their jobs to attend
burial; these things don't evidence good
judgment. II half of the money so expended
were used in efforts and movements which
would make life more comfortable for the de-
parted, funerals would not carry the pagan
practices of the iungles.
AS FOR MY BURIAL the shorter the bet
ter and no undertaken should risk taking adj
vantage of my survivors for big funeral un-
less one or all of them have committed them
selves to pay the expenses of the burial; for 1t
is my hope that not penny will be left over
and above what l consider enough to put me
in the ground to return to the dust will be
available. / am for SAME BURIAL FOR

DOWN OUR Way
by frances sampson

White people prefer contact with commit
tee OF persons they believe to be leaders,
and their leaders are ones who will not disturb
the status quo. something like the Negro
leaders in Pine Bluff who sit idly by for gen.
Grafton and have nothing to offer civic pro-
grams but CRITICISM However, the condition
which is complained of here is not one about
which the writer is the least bit alarmed, for
1t Is necessary that such condition exists to
sped the progress of the Negro people. They
the Negro people, are now about ready to take
over. The city of Pine Bluff will definitely feel
the impact OF the thinking of the Negro masses
in the not to distant future There are rumb-
lings among the people and they grope in the
dark for leadership, and mind you, GOD WILL
MAKE A LEADER FOR THE PEOPLE! But,
GOD WILL MAKE USE OF OLD LEADERS
WHO NEVER DIE but just fade away. They
are his shock troopers and they are testing the
enemy positions, and behind the lines there is
fastgrowing army Of citizens who are going
to be as militant as the theme of "ONWARD
CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS. The Negroes will
prove their mettle in this campaign for DR..
Molette will not let the people down. DR.. Mo-
lette will throw his unbreakable will and de-
termination into this campaign and the sue
cess of 1t will be much to the dismay of the
OLD LEADERS WHO NEVER DIE but sure
ly fade away. The energetic Camden born dem
fist, who worked his way through college here
in Pine Bluff and battled through four years
OF study at Meharry and entered the practice
here as successor to the late Fred Lytes, will
get the job done, and am sure that if he
draws upon his amazing circle of patients, he
will find there pillar of strength which will
make the onlookers run to get on the band
wagon. Among those who are helping DR.. Mo-
lette are DR.. David Parker, U. S. Brown, under
taker, and L. E. Henson, undertaken, all of
whom are working among the business and pro-
fessional men and women of the city. Assisting
among the civic clubs and organizations are
Mrs. r. T. Johnson, Mrs. Pauline Branton, and
Mrs. Hortense Jones. Working among the edu-
cational personnel are Professors j. Y. Williams
and Carl Jones. DR.. Molette has reported the
following contributions, leading off himself
with $500 donation, and a pledge of more
later: Harold Flowers, $1,000; Mr.. and Mrs.
c. H. Trplett $500; Mrs. Emily r. Evatt
$500 and reported by Earl Mays, S14.50. The
following persons pledged, Mrs. Hortense
Jones, $1,000 Mrs. Edna Mays, $500: j. Y.
Williams, $4,000; and Henry Williams sos.
The contributions will be reported in this col
umn from time to time. Give the Negro boys
IF Pine Bluff a place where they can develop
heir minds and bodies in wholesome environ
ment The program will go into effect imrnedi-
ately upon the raising of the S1,50000. The
has an opportunity to rent the PARK

a neighborhood of fine citizens. IT is TIME TO

THE HIGH COST OF DYING has become
so alarming that white people are beginning tt
complain. There appeared in nationwide ma
gazne an account of the advertising schemes
which undertakers use in selling the materials
for the last rites. The fact that the attention
| of white people is being directed to the fool
ishness depicted in the article is justification
for weekly campaign among Negroes to urge
them to use some sound judgment in making
ready for the burial of their loved ones For
too many years, Negroes have spent too much
money burying their poor kinspeope. And GER
tainly any comparison Of the economic stand
ing as between whites and Negroes is brought
into the picture, Negroes could well begin now
an effort to obtain unity in the burial of their
dead.
IN DENMARK IT HAS BEEN REPORTED
that everybody gets the same type of burial,
and that some system has been inaugurated
wherein certain funds are used for charitable
and hospital purposes Here in Pine Bluff, de-
spite the fact that all of the undertakers have
the burial policy is just means by which the
undertakers are assured of the body of the
member when death occurs. While no figures
or records are available it seems that most un-
dertakers make some additional charges for
services rendered even though certain type of
funeral has been paid for through the payment
Of the assessments or premiums on the burial
policy. During the time of sorrow and tears,
the lavish display and the awful situation in
which the mourners find themselves, they sue
cuunb to the suggestive methods of the under
takers to buy higher grade of casket, in ord
er to make as elaborate a showing as the stand

are hundreds of people struggling to pay fun

THE PAGANIsTiC PRACTICE OF WAX.
ING THE DEAD affords an opportunity for
many who never entered the house before to
come into the sanctum and thereby extoll praise
and esteem for the deceased when ears no long
er hear nor eyes no longer see. 1t is social
event with all of the trimmings depending en-
tirely upon the habits of the deceased and the
family. Coffee, doughnuts, sandwiches, and
drinks alcoholic. Had the deceased known that
the mourners had thought all such things as
one hears at wake, it might have prolonged
the life while longer in this world. Then a.
mong the mourners are the shoppers who
come to find out what the deceased left They
come to discuss the manner of his death. They .
come to discuss the reaction of certain indivi-
duals who are in abstenia because of social GUS
toms and reasons. Also among the mourners
are those vile and evil interpleaders who want
to advise the surviving kin what should be
done with the estate. Then finally there are the
needy souls who just want to know if they can

THE PINE BLUFF NEGRO BOYS CLUB


CAMPAIGN under the leadership of DR.. w. l..
Molette, leading dentist, who has recently
moved into his beautiful town type ranch home
on Linden street. is definitely in the laps of the
Negro citizens of the community. The all pow
erf,l Appeals Review Board of the Almighty
Chamber of Commerce has told the Negro citi-
zens 10 raise $500 and after six months
period. il is to meet again and permanently APP
prove the project - "IF IT HAS WORKED.
The Pine Bluff chamber of commerce has the
power 10 deter the making of contributions for
projects which have not been approved by it.
ms means of protecting the merchants and
snenhers of the organization in Pine Bluff,
from the fy-by might schemes which have
wrought unknown profits to worthy cause
swin6lers' However, despite the merit of the
system of the Pine Bluff chamber of commerce,
the Pine Bluff Commercial, the only daily
newspaper in this southeast Arkansas capital,
declared Sunday that NEGRO LEADERS IN
PINE BLUFF HAVE A GOLDEN OPPORTU-
NIFTY. :. TO PROVE THEIR METTLE'. So,
the Negro citizens may prove their mettle by
raising 81. 10000 and gain the support and APP
proval of the chamber of commerce and great
many white citizens of this community.
1T is EVIDENT FROM THE BARE REC
ORD OF NEGRO CIVIC INTEREST that the
campaign for 81. 10000 will be no easy task. 1t
Is not an easy task because of the lack of
money, for many Negroes could underwrte the
amount instantly. The task is hard because
there is SO much disunity among Negro citi-
zens in leadership positions, and there is to-
tai unwillingness of the white citizens to bar
gain through organized effort among Negroes,
md by virtue of the inherent fear of unifca-
tion of strength among Negroes. white citizens
discourage such an effort when it is to be chan
neled through Negro organizations &c. the lea
ders who have been on the scene by virtue of
their positions or professions through the years
and have totally neglected the duties which
were before them at all times, and now face the
end HAVING DONE NOTHING but boosted
about yesterdays loyalities and riches, are the
ones who are asked to prove their mettle. 1t is
certainly not the host of Negro citizens who
stood in the ranks of the Pine Bluff NAACP
four thousand strong few years ago! They
would raise the amount overnight but for the
ireptness of the leadership which has been
forced upon them. To kill militant leadership,
white people are able to make Negro has
been feel that he is yet powerful and nfluen-
tial and so requests are made of him. suggest
ions are given and through his eagerness for
recognition in the they just fade away" days,
be comes upon the scene and the people though
inactive definitely reject the forced type of
leadership which can work hand in hand with
the white people. So. the masses join the chant
of The Great Debate "OI.D LEADERS
NEVER DIE. THEY JUST FADE AWAY"
There is definitely resentment on the part of
white people to deal with the masses through
duly authorized leaders or representatives.
