Negro History Week Celebration

Negroes throughout the United States, and COOP
Grating groups WE'LL will get away from routine to
take time out for celebrating achievements of the Amer
Negro the traditional observance of Negro His
tory week takes place February 10 through February IT,
The Advocate states here again it's opinion and be-
lief that it is amentable that special week must be
singled out to note achievements of the Negro in Amer
Ca whereas would be far better if Negro contributions
to this countrys culture recorded completely by
American historians in the standard textbooks used in
the public schools today.
Since this is not the case-and the record proves
that Negroes have played and continue to play signif
cant role in making American history there is need
for noting accomplishments past and present, in
making this country the greatest in the world.
The Association for the Study of Negro Life and
History is the national sponsor of the observance and
has chosen Great Teachers for the 1862 theme, The
memory of dozen great teachers is being honored at
this time They include: Maria Baldwin, teacher of chill
dren of Harvard professors and other notabes John w.
E. Bowen teacher of ministers, theoogan and orator.
Benjamin Brawey English teacher and writer: Ma
Drew trainer of surgeons and medical educator John
Wesley Gilbert German-Greek teacher, minister and
missionary Charles Huston teacher of lawyers and
Sader in human rights Lucy Ianey and Lucy MOteI1,
teachers of children and young women respectively;
Joshua Simpson, teacher of Virginia Union men Charles
H. Turner teacher and research worker in animal be-
havor, and Carter G.. Woodson historian and education
al reformer
Negro History week celebrations if carried out in
their most successful and result getting fashion, should
achieve at least two goals They should serve re-
mnder of past greatness of members of the and
knde glow of pride in the knowledge of these
pishments.
They should inspire the Negro youth of today to
seek the top most round Of the ladder Of honorable
achievement
If these detectives attanable then it is we'll
worth the twice and preparations necessary to the prop
observance of Negro History Week.

WE WILL ALL ABIDE IN
CHRIST'S WAY

When the world can see this mis-
take
And turn around that day,
Then Jesus He will give US peace
Because Jesus is the way.
Mans way is way of sorrow
Jesus way is a way of peace
and all well,
When we fail to follow Jesus's
way
You may look for wars and it's
just hell.
A brain that is full of mistakes
And a stomach full of whiskey
and gin,
Will never give us peace in this
Because mans way is full of sin.
Jesus said | am the way
And brains without Jesus | say
now,
Every corner a church on it
And the battlefield full of war.
The world is filled with pride and
styles
Degrees and honors as well,
And our churches are full of back
bitters
And always raising some hell.
If our churches had the power
They claim to have today,
Prayers would stop this bloody war
And peace would be our pay.
It's a sin to build all of their
churches
And fill them up with such men,
For money, you take the world in
Gods house
And money is root Of all sin.
When Jesus came to redeem this
world
1t was only one church to tell
the tale,
He said to Peter upon this rock l
build my church
And the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it.
Jesus left one church for us all
And the love of His Father the
same,
1t was only one family of the
Christians
To lift up his darling name.
Get man and woman way out of
Gods house
Jesus said that | am the way,
SO Jesus's way we must abide
Or else we are going astray.

for all he has asked before, most
Democrats and some other analysts
suggested that it was a "shrewd"
political speech. And while the

President still stressed all his Fair

A Judge Worthy OF Honor
(FrOm The New York Times)

Judge j. Wates Waring of Charleston S. c., has
just resigned his seat after ten years of good and faith
full service on Federal district bench. Judge Waring
was born in Charleston of family which has been in
South Carolina for ten generations His father served in
the Confederate Army. He educated in Charleston,
was active in city and state politics and represented
what seemed to many Observers North and South the
best of the old Southern traditions But during the later
years of his udgeship he ostracized by his old
friends Or to put the situation accurately, many
of his old friends ostraczed themselves out of his excel
lent company.
"The reason for this development was that Judge
Warng had taken seriously two documents which had
had the backing of other distinguished Southern
ers-the Declaration of Independence and the Constitu
ton of the United States Taking the Constitution to
guarantee equal political rights to all men, he handed
down decisions which made it possible for Negroes to
vote in the Democratic primary Likewise he held that
if South Carolina denied Negroes admission to white
law school it must either provide equal facilities else
where or must to support such school In inter-
views he said that the poll tax Stupid and defended
Federal intervention in lynching cases.
During his service the bench, Judge Warlng
once said he gradually acquired passion for justice
Surely he cannot miss the society of those who regard
such passion as unworthy. He knows that those who
value courage, integrity and intelligence will continue
to honor him. whether not they reside in Charleston

To make matters worse, there is
probably no effective defense in

French are firing of that exhaust

Can Truman Stop kefauver?
New Decision for Ike
Far East Danger Spot

WASHINGTON, d. C. - The
question everyone seems to be ask
ing in official Democratic circles
these days is whether Senator Es-
ties Kefauver has much chance of
successfully bucking the Truman
organization inside the Democra-
tic party. 1t is no longer any secret
that Mr.. Truman and all his yes
men are doing everything in their
power to block the nomination
drive of the Tennessee crime-bust-
er. But what they once thought
would be easy is not turning out
to be as easy as anticipated.
Senator Brien McHahonen of
Connecticut, for instance, pulled
out of the Illinois state primary
after it became evident he might
have to go into that state and do
some heavy campaigning to de-
cisively defeat Kefauver.
The President is faced with a
man, in Kefauver, who says he
out for the nomination whether or
not President Truman stands for
reelection. That should appeal to
many anti-Truman voters through
out the country, even though it
probably has little appeal to Presi-
dent Truman himself. In other
words, Kefauver is about and so
are the Truman forces. At the pre-
sent moment, Kefauver's drive is
going we'll and could be a factor
in Mr.. Truman's possible decision
to run again.
