THE NEGRO PRESS OBSERVES
ITS 124TH ANNIVERSARY

by n. President Negro Newspaper
Publishers Association
AS the Negro press observes it's 124th birthday looks
out upon world torn by strife and misunderstanding yet
full of promise for a better tomorrow
When John Russwurm first published his Freedoms
Journal in New York City in 1927 freedom for the Negro
from physical slavery the issue at hand Today 124
years later freedom for the human from fear mis-
trust and confusion just pressing In the fight to elm
mate this different but equally reprehesbe bondage
from the of twentieth century civilization the Negro
press has important role to play Representing it
does the fundamental beliefs of darker Americans, it
bring into focus review of those things
to people all the world The struggle of the Ne
fight for security and dignity is constantly waged
These essentially the confronting
and in uncertain and fearful nations all over the
world
The Negro press speaks the conscience of America
deplorng mans inhumanty to and challenging de-
mocracy to rise to- its fullest stature AS fighter those
principles around which this nation has been built and to
which every in this nation is morally and legally
committed the Negro press must not relax for
men until recognition of these things has been achieved
In so doing it serves not only underprveged groups of
our nation but the yearnng deep in the hearts men and
women universally. A
The great majority of White and Negro Americans
want and work for that clear recognition There need
for voice through which the thoughts and needs of these
people can speak Such voice is the Negro press While
1t does not propose to do the job sngehandedy it will
join with and assist in the mobilization those influences
and efforts which represent the finest tradition of Amer
can democracy With that commitment the United States
OF America will move forward With the completion of the
job the United States of America will be free.

They say that the gun + m
which the shots were fired into
the body of Holton Newbold has
been found. Investigation into the
case continues, however. From
this distance it seems as if the
law is doing a fine job and might
soon be able to determine who
was using the gun when Newbold
was shot.

did thirty years ago.
Mr.. Bethell's special interest was
IN the fraternal world. The Ma
sons, Odd Fellows, Pythians. and
all the rest came under the swav
OF his eloquence in the old days.
and he was always master of the
situation, and was highly respect
ed as father among "the BOYS. "
Hore than twenty-five years
ago he conceived the idea of or
ganizing the order of the LOYAL
Tigers and Tigresses of the World.
Single handed he worked out all
the details for the order - in
Guiding the beautiful uniforms.
Thus he gave to Miami the first
fraternal organization to be found
ed and to have headquarters
right here.
Like other fraternities, the
Tigers have had lean years but
they have kept moving forward
under the guiding hand of the
founder.
And now, while it is fine to
speak of the man whose brain
child the order of Tigers is, this
column hopes it isn't ''too bold"
when it suggests that the Tigers
set aside a John F. Bethel Day
to do honor to their founder and
to a grand patriarch of this COM
munity.

This week marks the 124th an
niversary of the Negro Press.
During those 124 years the Negro
Press has done wonders in the
cause of true freedom on the
American scene.
John B. RuSSwurm and Samuel
Cornish who published the first
Negro newspaper on March is,
1927, had in mind the keen desire
to contradict in print the ugly pic
ture that the White press of that
day presented of the race. From
that time the Negro Press has been
in the vanguard in the fight for
full and complete citizenship for
all Americans with special en-
phasis on Uncle Sans step-child-
rem.
In the long fight that the press
has had, many battles have been
won; but the fight goes on and
the end is not yet in sight. There
are still many ShackleS to be
broken, many walls to be taken
down. - stone by stone. To do the
Job well the press must have the
prestige and economic security to
enable it to stand up and fight.
Right here is where your part
comes. Your subscription, your
advertisement and your good will,
can do much to help build a
stronger Negro press and thus a
better place ''in the SUM-"

AT ROCkLAND THURSDAY
MARCH 22
Two weeks ago / told you of
the plans being made by Mr.. Will
lie r. Davie, proprietor of the
Rockland Palace, together with
special committee, to sponsor a
special benefit dance at the Rock
land Palace, for Miami's own
Miss Geneva Harrison,tsthat very
ambitious blind young woman,
who in spite of the handicap of
blindness, succeeded in finishing
high school at our own Booker 7.
Washington High School, and who
is now trying to further her edu-
cation. 1 can now tell you, that
the plans have all been completed
and the very special benefit dance
will be held on next Thursday,
March %, at the Rockland Palace.
might add the fact that it is 60
ing to be a very fine affair - and
dance and floor show - and it is
worth every penny that you'll pay
to see and enjoy it. A popular adj.
mission price of s$1.00 tax includ-
ed will be charged at the door,
and all tables will be free. Pa
irons may reserve their favorite
tables upon purchase of tickets,
which will be on sale at the
Rockland beginning Saturday and
by several other persons who are
helping in this most worthy
cause.
For the benefit of those of you
who may not know Miss Harri-
son, I'm happy to explain that
she is a Miami girl, born right
here in this city, and lives with
her parents at 1914 NV 5th ave.
When she was a Junior at Book
er T. Washington high school, her
sight became affected with an all
ment which finally resulted in her
losing her entire sight and be-
coming totally blind. In spite of
this most serious handicap, she
succeeded in finishing high school
with the aid and assistance of
students, teachers and friends,
and she was a member of the
graduating class of 1948. She is
now a student at Howard Uni
versity, Washington, D. c., where
with the assistance of a special
reader and guide, she is able to
get her lessons and keep up with
her class work just like any nor
NAL student. WIZ
Shortly after she finished high
school, a number of small bene-
fit acts were sponsored for her
by a special committee headed by
Sandy Green, who is also a mem
Der of the present committee
sponsoring this special benefit.
That was more than two years
ago, and a fairly good sum of
money was raised for her to fur
Their her education. That's how
she was able to enter Howard
University.
But within a short time, Miss
Harrison will be in need of more

BELGRADE, (P) - s

BELGRADE, ,(P - Some city slickers here managed to get a rosy, alcoholic glow every day, free of charge-or rather, at the expense of their country cousins.
 It's the tradition here that GUS toner in public markets is en- titled to a sample before he buys liquor. And who's to object if the prospective customer shakes his head after the sampling and re- jects the quality?
 A reporter on Belgrade news paper recently trailed such sam- pier and found that after eight samplings, his quarry still hadn't made a purchase. This sampler is very likely at the end of his free ride, however. His picture was published in the paper, showing him in the act, and a complete ex- pose of his racket was included.

Price Rollback On Cattle
 Went Into Effect Monday

CHICAGO, P)-Cattle receipts at the nations stockyards were generally light Monday as price control went into effect on live beef animals.
 At 12 principal markets, the U. s. Department of Agriculture estimated that 41,1OO cattle were received. This compared with 77,7OO head of cattle last Monday, and 68,80O for the date a year ago.
 The new cattle price order re- quires packers to limit average prices for their cattle purchases to level of 10 per cent below the average for January.
 Cattle merchants said it was too early to say whether the low re- ceipts resulted from arbitrary ef- fects of the price control order.
 The price rollback on live cat tie is only part of the govern ment's program designed to bring about price reductions of approxi- mately 10 cents pound for beef in the butcher shops by Oct. 1.
