Buffalo. This is thz middle stop on a
eross-state tour of New Rork testing senti-
ment among Negroes as to which candidate
they will support in the coming presidential
election on November 4. After living in that
tight little community called Harlem fer So
many years and listening to the stident
voices OF the Democrats, it is amazing to
find out here such strong support for Els
enhoWer and Nixon.
Since early last week, your correspond
ent has visited Binghamton, Ithaca, Elmira
jamestown and now Buffalo. It is not eZ-
pected that the Democrats will carry any Of
the counties in which these cities are locat.
ed, but what is more interesting is that the
Negro voter is almost solidly behind the Re.
publican ticket, Negroes throughout the
State of New York don't seem to have any
fear that the Republican party will bring on
another depression. AS a matter Of fact,
the feeling is that only a Republican vic
tory can bring about prosperity and at the
same time bring peace.
In Ithaca one woman said her husband
is earning a larger salary now, but she
pointed to a gold star in the window and
Wept as she told how her young son had
made such ambitious plans for career in
medicine only to have his life snuffed out

her husband are not impressed by the Dem
ocrats' claim that you never had it so
good" She said they know the prosperity
they brag about is built on the war; and
that she does not believe the Democrats
know how to build prosperous country
without war,
Other Negroes l talked with out this
way spoke similarly. In jamestown, close
to the west boundary of New York and just
north of the Pennsylvania border, they said

Americas Greatest Issues To-day
The United States of America IS
involved in many important issues
Today, here and abroad, but there
rs no one issue that concerns the
Negro more than Civil Rights
This along with many other I'M
portant lssues-FEPC and the an
ti-lynching amendment - carries
lots of weight with the American
Negro.
The decision of these highly
important issues can only be de-
cided by those who ara in power
when they are again presented and
debated, With the election near 1t
is time the Negro tthe one chiefly
concerned with and who the acts
will effect most swing In ia
action. The ballot is one of tine
best and most effective weapons
the minority group has today, The
only way the Negro voters ca n
assure themselves progress is by
building up a strong voting sys-
TEN. and supporting the candi-
dates who will help to promote
their general welfare and support
these highly important issues
It is not necessary to list here
the many advantages Civil Rights
and FEPC would bestow upon our
citizens. How much better would

pid when they try to tell them that the Re
publicans will take away all the social gains
that have been made in recent years, But
perhaps the one thing they talk about most
IS the vicious campaign President Truman
IS making.
In Buffalo, young man VINO served IN
der General Eisenhower, said he is voting
for the COP nominee and is doing an he
can to get his friends to vote Republican
He said he is confident Eisenhower will
make great president and that he believes
the General when he said he would expand
and improve social security and such other
benefits like old age and wide suspensions.
He said he based his convictions on his eS
perience with the General who, when he
says yes" means yes and when he says
mo- he means just that,
1t would be a good thing for the pro-
vlncial New Yorker to get across the HUG

Prediction Thoughts

These are the days that try mems ears.
A raucous din of politiczing assaults one
from all sides. Yesterdays arguments are
hotted up for already iaded appetites. Many
citizen will appreciate the feelings of the
reader who drew to our attention William
Cowper's lines:
Oh for a lodge in some vast wilderness,
Some boundless contiguty Of shade,
Where rumor Of oppression and deceit
OF unsuccessful and successful war
Might never reach me more
Yet the facts remain, Decisions must
be made. There are no shady wildernesses
where one may conveniently retire to day
dream while the politicians rant and the
clash of war and cold war fills the air.
A fancied escape either to indifference or
to cynicsm is the most futile of self-delus-
ions.

What Is Appeasement Ike?-UN & Hope

This whole matter Of appeasement could be
the eNemplifIcation of an unnelpIul childish
attitude 1t is childish because it is the
expected behavior of a child TO bllndly hold
to his own view in a conflicting matter or
to fight when someone fails to FULLY satisfy
ham. II men are 20 arrive at a lasting peace
we must rely upon mans mature powers Of
reflection to see the nadequaCy OF war and
to- thus continue in the chambers Of counsel
to work out a better scheme for settlement
of differences.
The price Of honor could never be more
costly than the blood of men split needless
~ over the barren mountains OF Korea II
appeasement should mean placing our HDer~
ty in Jeopardy then appeasement Is wrong
If appeasemeut should mean sincere COM
promise on the part of all nations to assure
a lasting peace, then apeasement is muc9
needed.
Somehow, as one author has pointed out
I'VE must re-discoyer the art of effective
COMPROMISE" We must not allow the OBJ
solete over the distorted manly side OF our
human nature" drive us to take oftcnSe
when somebody steps on our American
big toe" Such an attitude could be very
costly in human life.
The UN Is today one of mans best prac-
tcal solutions to war, but none OF us can
as vet put positive confidence in this or
ganization as sure instrument TO the peace
mankind has been ever seeking.
Sir Edward Grey once wrote the moral
is obvious it is that great ornaments lead
inevitably to war" Who could doubt the
powerful logic Of this statement? AS doc
tor implies the need for patient; as lawyer
implies the need fer client; as mechanic
implies the need for broken automobiles, SO
does ornaments imply the need or POSSIBLE
ity for war.
We are travelling now in unchartered re-
giCns of human experience and somehow we
realize as Woodrow Wilson did, until the
course Of human event shows differently
that nations together equal in partnership
free to discuss openly their differences With
out taking offensc u.s., for sure, one OF the
roads to world peace. Somehow nations
must continue to work on a level Of trust in
one another to permit simultaneous disarm-
ament.
All we can do is hope that the past world
war has taught us to put peace above self
interests AS Lord Bryce once wrote, hope
often disappointed but always renewed,
must be the anchor by which , democracy
and its fortunes viii have to ride out this
latest storm" AS long as representatives
from nations the world over continue to
meet in the so million dollar building which
bulges among the New York skyscrapers
at Lake Success, our hope is even more r"7l
that we might let the steam out of the
kettle without blowing the lid. With deep

along the edge
of the scab-rock ledge, holding
Phelps arm tight to her side. look
ing down into the ooulee. And
when they reached a certain
smooth rock they sat down to-
gether, woCdless, and watched the
little white buildings fold into the
purple dusk and finally disappear
into the blaclmess Of the coulee
at night.
The foot of the great steel tower
seemed to melt away. too. but the
sun that was setting beyond the
Columbia River and beyond the
coast made a pink laoework of the
tower top. Madge watched it in
tently with her clear green eyes,
and in the twilight breeze a wisp
of hair moved gently On her cheek.
For a time the tower seemed sus-
pended above the dark coulee.
She and Phelps had taken this
short walk almost every evening
for a year now. speaking less and
less to each other as they watched
the sunset and the coulee shadows
and that footless pink tower. 1t
had always seemed a little unreal
to Madge. and sometimes she won
dered if it seemed unreal to Phelps
as well. But he never said so; she
never asked him; and the evening
walk seemed to bring them closer
together, and that was good.
And Madge found it increasingly
necessary as a certain time drew
near. Tonight she could no longer
control her feelings about the sig
nificant fact that Phelps had grown
even quieter and more thoughtful,
something she had not thought
possible. She found herself asking
the question while she wished that
she could keep from asking it.
Phelps, you know now when it is
to be. don't you?"
For a moment he did not answer.
Then slowly he turned to her and
said. 'Yes, Madge. know now.
I've been meaning to tell you. It's
the twelfth. at five twenty-five in
the morning."
Madge caught her breath. She
tried to make her voice sound
matter-of-fact. II was Il was
sure you knew" She paused.
That's rushing things a little,
isn't it," The twelfth was Thurs
day, just five days from today!

Whenever they had talked about
the probable date at all, it had
been by implication many months
away; with bad luck, maybe years.
Several things have accelerated
the project" Phelps said then.
Two German scientists wh0've
been working with the Russians
decided they didn't like it behind
the Iron Curtain and escaped. And
Extoberg. the British scientist who
disappeared two years ago-he
showed up rather suddenly two
months ago. They've all been on
experiments which. coupled with
ours -" Phelps stopped. and
shrugged. well. it's the twelfth,
you see. There's simply no need
for it to be LATER"
MADCE was humbly grateful. 1t
was more than Phelps MattiSon
had said on the subject, at one
time, since they had come to the
arid valley where the few who sus-
pected the activity in the coulee
thought surely it had to do with
the H-bomb or rocket weapons.
They were quite wrong. The
world in which we live was about
to contact, physically and with a
human representative, another
world Planet X" 1t was so
secret an undertaking that even
Madge, married for eight years to
DR.. Phelps Mattison and knowing
him on the campus for years be-
fore that, did not know which
planet was 'tX."
All she had ever known, until
tonight when Phelps told her
when, was that it was becoming
increasingly likely. That our world
was represented in the undertak-
ing primarily by the United States
and Canada, simply because the
point of embarkation. so to speak,
had to be from the scab- rock coulee
area of the Pacific Northwest.
And that, most important of all,
DR.. Phelps Mattison was the one
who would be inside the great
stainless metal cone now sitting
vertically quiet within the frame

them in the coulee.
Now tonight. without any real
hope, she tested some familiar
ground again. Phelps -. does

Group Organizes to Promote
West Geanga SchoolLey

RUSSELL - At meeting
Thursday, October End, at the
grade school building in Russell,
an interested group of citizens
agreed to work together to pro-
mote the passage of the 8 mill
operating levy for the West &C.
auga School district. Mrs.
Charles Osbourn of Chester was
acting chairman. Mrs. Paul
Jones, Mrs. Ray Curtis, and E.
P. Derthick represented Russell
and agreed to help organize
neighborhood parties to discuss
the school tax problems and ac-
quaint our residents with the
need of more operating funds.
AT the second meeting, called
for Monday evening, October
9Th, at the high school build
ing at Chester, the figures were
presented by Mr.. Van Brunt,
superintendent, showing the ris-
ing cost of teachers salaries;
higher operating costs in gen.
.eral which are prevalent in
all school districts. The twenty
five members present were
asked to sell our school rather
than to sell a levy. These were
the people who were to be
discussion leaders at the neigh
borhood house parties.
A sub committe was formed
to put out notices to voters in
the West Geauga district be-
fore November 4. This commit
tee was composed of the follow
ing: DR.. L. L. Hamilton, chair
man; Charles Lindgren, Richard
Reese, and E. p. Derthick. Their
first effort put on paper was
passed out to the people who
came to the Harvest Jamboree
at the high school last Friday
evening.
Mrs. Ray Curtis, who writes
the P. T. A. Bulletin which goes
out to parents of school children
each month, asked Mr.. Derthick
to write an editorial for the bull.
letin, following the policy used
all during last year in asking
qualified local people to write
something each month about the
school or some phase thereof
