Lone Mariner
Sets Record
In Tiny Craft
BY DOROTHY RAYMER

Men go down to the sea in ships,
as the poem goes, but few of them
try it alone in an 18 foot outboard
motor boat. Newsman and writer
Rube Allyn, outdoor editor of the
st. Petersburg Times did. He made
the SO mile run from Havana to
Key West all by his lonesome.
''The other guys who went over
to Cuba with me decided against
the return trip. They flew back, so
l was pilot, engineer, navigator and
crew by myself" Allyn said this
morning. Il wanted to set a rec
ord"
He "Sho" did The return cruise
took five hours and As minutes. He
cleared MORO Castle in the Ha-
vana harbor at 3:45 am. and at
9:15 today, was at the entrance to
Key Vests harbor. In another Is
minutes the Deep Six a trim
little kicker drew up along side the
dock in back of Bill Kroll'S Aqua
ruin.
Allyn, a rugged man who was a
submarine chief during World War
II, said he hadn't had a chance to
sit down during the hours coming
back. "But surprisingly l don't
even have backache. l was too
busy to get tired running back and
forth from the motors to the helm,
The only effect / feel is being hun
CRY. l didn't have breakfast be-
cause there wasn't time to eat
Once a swell nearly knocked me
out of the boat and / managed to
hang on. You can see / had to tie
down those Is horsepower motors
(Evinrude). It was kind of rough
going and sometimes she bucked
but / proved what we set out to
| prove, and that's whether or not q
small boat of special design i;
safe for ocean going"
Allyn set out from Key West
Wednesday, September "a at 30,
am. The trip over to Mariel, q
miles south of Havana, took sever
hours. The two other men at tht
start of the adventure were Ca

and carries with it a profound
message which is relevant to our
times.
Our Jewish tradition has al
ways recognized the necessity TO
sustain the spiritual aspects of
life along with the material. It
did not minimize tn physical and
material needs: il insisted upon
a balance between the two.
What has happened in our
world with it's chaos and confu-
sion, the successive wars, the in
security and uncertainty, is that
the scales are in a state of unbal-
ance. We have attended to our
physical selves eagerly following
thousand and one rules for its
material welfare, but have ig-
nored the needs of the spirit. We
have directed all our energies to
the development of the sciences
and have given a secondary
place to moral and spiritual
values.
In the Jewish scene. too. religi-
Gus values have been given a
subordinate place. Our ancestors
attended TO their material needs.

daily. The High Holidays meant

fasting. a day in which they
scrutinized their inner being.
They made their confession to
God and resolved to- correct
faulty functioning Of the Human
spirit. In this way they did pre-
serve their balance and they had
sane mind and a sound body.

Negro College
To Offer
Graduate Work

Durham, n. C.-In an effort to
put damper on the current move
to force white colleges and uni
versities in the South to admit Ne
gro students, Gov. Kerr Scott and
the council of state sent an addi-
tional $110,017 to North Carolina
here recently.
The additional grant is to help
to provide graduate school facili-
ties for Negro students. Support
ers of the program claimed that
the grant and other money already
received will provide for Negro
students facilities equal to those
for white students at the univers-
ity Of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill.
This action was motivated by a
desire of the state toward any
further discrimination suit against
North Carolina or its state sup
ported schools. Originally the
plaintiffs in the suits contended
that Negro students seeking ad-
vanced degrees could not obtain
accredited courses at state sup
ported schools.

Forward Is The Way To Go
(From The Louisiana Weekly

NEW ORLEANS La. = We are proud Of The City
of Lafayette which recently became the third city in
Louisiana in modern times to hire Negro police officers
Both the city fathers and the Negro leaders of La
fayee congratulated for the right step in the right
direction which should be emulaed by other towns and
cities of louisiana Nearby jefferson Parish has already
done and is the first and only parish the state which
hires Negro deputy sheriffs
This is indeed helpful sign in cementing better
relations in any city in the Deep South especially
when city fathers be counted only to sit and
hold conferences with Negro leaders the NATTER but
to put qualified men in uniform and on the payroll.
Lafayettes Negro popuace should give full coopera
ton to its Negro officers in their respective missions to
wipe out juvenile delinquency vice and other forms of
crime in and around Lafayette.
While the Southland is gradually awakening and
drifting closer and closer toward modern trends in local
and state governments the hiring of Negroes officers
is longer taboo Top brass longer frightened at
the thought of arming Negro officers with service
revovers and night sticks for that they might be
resented by and the inevitable might be the
suit
It's time now to feel with degree of certainty that
Negro officers have we'll demonstrated their abilities in
tracking down and experimenting awbreakers.
We admit that the relation of crime to presents
delicate and complex problem which has not been fully
explored, but every opportunity that city fathers
and leaders working tremendously toward the sou-
ton of this puzzle which closely tied to the preudices
that exist between racial groups is step forward and
forward is the way want to go.

workers are particularly afflicted
with this national propensity, and
activities concerning these occupy
many an hour of their leisure.
This can by no means be called
dawdling, for a man puts much
labor in whatever contribution he
has to make to these community
activities. He may spend hours of
labor designing and making a robe
for Carnival or he may use all his
spare time learning his lines if his
activities are connected with drama
or ceremony of one kind or anoth-
er. Another may spend hours of
sleepless nights practising on his
instrument if he is concerned with
that sort of activity. This reminds
me that it is the youth of this
group, some unemployed, others
unemployable, that have set a must
cal precedent by developing what
is known as the "Steel Band"
These youths have shaved over a
number of years trying to create
music out of old tins and waste
bins, until now they have brought
their "tin music" to such a stand
ard that Geraldo, the well-known
British band conductor has opined
that he would not be surprised if
this type Of music becomes a def
mite feature of the orchestra in
time to come.
