leave false impression, but here in Arkansas,
we are in the know.
Yes, governor, the Negro in Arkansas,
as in all other of the deep southern states
is left entirely out of the mainstream of
living. He is still segregated and kept apart
from his white American neighbor, which
makes the improvement of relations impos-
sibe. People can only improve relations
with those they are privileged to know.
Yes Arkansas is like any other south
ern state The Negro spends millions with
the public utilities, and yet he is not num-
bered among the white collar high salaried
help. He spends millions with the big de-
partment stores, and yet none OF the stores
see fit to elevate him above janitor or
elevator operator Our Arkansas banks
where Negroes do many dollars worth OF
business annually have not been able to en-
trust him to anything other than an GRAND
boy or ianitor Our defense plants in Ark
ansas, despite the record that the negro
made in world war II will not hire Negroes
on basis of qualification and ability.
No governor we believe that your
statement was meant to deceive. However,
we believe your are eminently correct when
you stated that WE SHALL CONTINUE.
But the question is among the Negroes OF
Arkansas is WHEN ARE WE GOING TO
START?

Buy Where You Can Eat

The congress of racial equality is
continuing its fight to eliminate segrega-
ton at lunch counters in st. Louis The
and 10 store. Picket lines formed at
Negro branch store that hires all Negro
clerks but does not have lunch counter
According to reports, most of the persons
who attempted to make a purchase re-
Sponded to the plea not to patronize the
Woolworth store. Only half of the stores
clerks took care of the few customers that
crossed the picket lines leaving the other
half without work
We do not know the exact results
that will come from the picketing Of the
store, nor can we be sure that favorable
action will be taken by the management,
but We would be willing to wager that
from the opposition shown by the would
be customers will no doubt open the minds
of those who are concerned to the stu
pidity of segregation.
We are quite aware of the situation
here in the Little Rock Woolworth store
and others that do not have lunch count
ers and other accommodations for it's
colored customers. We haven't checked on
1t, but we don't believe any action has
been taken Notwithstanding the bare fact
Of the lack Of accommodations. This col

Chief Herman Lindsey, director of
Arkansas state police, issued an urgent APP
peal to Arkansas drivers for greater caution
during the ensuing months.
"At no other time of the year Chief
Lindsey said "are our very young children
more vulnerable to the dangers of the street
than in the early fall. when increased play 1
activity and the return to school go hand
finland In exposing the child to street traf-
fic."
While we can technically lay part of the
blame for such deaths on the shoulders OF
the young people involved, he said, THE
lions share of the responsibility must rest
with the motorist Immaturity and irrespon-
sibilty are normal childhood traits The
driver must realize-even expect-that such
heedlessness sooner or later will send child
dashing into the path of his ear. 1t is his
moral responsibility to be able to cope with
this situation when it arises"

the goal of the Urban League-equal oppor-
tunity for all-is a reality When we have
reached that goal, it will be protected for

Grafton of free men and women
These words coming from the governor
of southern state are appealing, and
naturally would get many concentrations
for the dixie speaker from people who are
not familiar with Arkansas.
The youthful governor is quoted as say
ing. We shall continue our efforts toward
racial understanding and cooperation III
YOU note the governor said we SHALL CON-

governor, is when are we going to start? We
,beiftve that we shall continue after we
first get started.
Surely no one can lay any claims on
anything that the governor has started to-
ward racial understanding and cooperation.
All one has to do is to stand over near
the Arkansas state capitol in the evening,

M. Motorist, Please. Take Heed

although most of us dislike the idea of
living by rules Chief Lindsey said 1.-THE
motorist with a conscience will want to heed
the rules of safe driving that will protect
our youngsters"

street with the same caution that you would

2. Be doubly alert when driving near
schools, in residential areas or near play
grounds and vacant lots.
g. Keep as clear of bicycles as possible.
Remember that a stone, in the road, or
slight depression in the pavement, may be
enough to throw an inexperienced bicycle
rider into the path of your car
4. In residential areas, particularly, be
alert for small children playing in drive
ways or sliding or coasting on an incline
from which they might roll suddenly into
the street without warning.
