CHARLESTON, sc. - (ANP)
- Drs. w. H. Fielder, c. T. Hollo-

and N. F. Wilson have been ad-
mitted to the Charles County Ned

The new members of the COMA,
all practitioners in Charleston,
are likewise members of the South
Carolina Medical Association and
Of the American Medical Associa-
ton, to which the county member
ship carries automatic admission
if desired.
The five medics were all mem
bers of the Palmetto Medical,
Dental and Pharmaceutical As
sociation, an all-Negro state group.
Reasons offered for the abrupt
historical departure is:
At a meeting held last May st
Myrtle Beach by the SOMA, the
group voted to delete any mention
Of color or race from its bylaws
(there was no such reference to
race or color in the constitution)
and to recommend that county So
cieties do the same 30 that Negro
physicians might become members
Of the county groups, a prereQui-

Local Chapter Of
Nurses Sorority
Formed

A banquet Sunday, December
z, 1852 at the beautiful Georgette
Tea Room climaxed the inaugu-
ration of the Nu Chapter of Chi
Eta Phi Sorority into our COM
munity.
The national sorority Of Chi Eta
Phi for nurses was started in Oc-
tober, 1892 at Freedman's hos
pital, Washington, D. c. under
the guidance of DIR. George w.
Adams.
Since the dissolution Of the
American National Association of
Colored Graduate Nurses, the Ma
tional sorority has played a more
prominent part in meeting the
cultural, social and educational
needs of the Negro nurses every
where.
Some of the fundamental de-
sires of the organization are high
er education for nurses, scholar
ships, outstanding achievements
in nursing, service to humanity,
and leadership in civic and re-
Egious> community endeavors.
Miss Mary Katherine Belton
national organizer of Philadel-
phia, Pa. initiated and set up the
Nu chapter with IL charter mem
bers. The following officers were
presented:
Grace M. Higgs, basileus; Mat

GRANDMA MOSES:
MY LIES HISTORY
Edited by Otto Kallir. (Har-

Anna Mary Robertson Moses,
better known as Grandma
Moses. has been painting her
life for IA years or so, to the
delight of people throughout the
United States and many abroad,
who have seen her paintings or

Christmas cards.
Born in the mid-19th century
(She is now 92), she has had the
kind of life most of us think of
as typically American-close to
the lives of country people of
the 18th and 10th centuries,
and, to some extent, today. But
as the Nation grows older, and

own words. She uses language
just as she uses paint-in a

She has known all the elemental
joys and sorrows a woman can

thoughts as if the omnipotent
God were recording them.
There are no long flashbacks,
and there is no effort to develop
any character fully. and yet a
surprisingly good idea of what
these men were like emerges
from the sketches. Beyond that,
despite the diffused and iso-
lated descriptions, we have at
the end a remarkable grasp of
what happened to the armies.
Faithful to History.
We learn from Johnston's aide
of the generals plan to destroy
Grant army at Pittsburgh
Landing, driving it into the
Tennessee River. before Buell.,
with an army of equal size,
could reach that point in Mis-
Sissippi. The Confederate lead
er succeeded in surprising Grant
and the first day the Union
forces were driven in wild con-
fusion. But Johnston was
fatally wounded, and the Strate-
giSt Beauregard, who took over,
did not follow up the attack.
Unfortunately for the Southern
ers, Buell. arrived that night and
his troops crossed the Tennes-
see and attacked at dawn. The
Confederate threat to the whole
West was ended. How these
events sifted down to soldiers
here and there is brought out
from Metcalf. from Capt. Foun-
tain. adjutant of the SD Ohio;
Pvt. Dade, rif1eman of the 9th
Mississippi. and others. The
author has been faithful to
history-he has embellished it
without distortion.
This is Mr.. Foote's fourth
novel. Shiloh" deserves to rank
as one of our distinctive stories
of battle. Whether you say, as
some will, that it is in the tradi-
ton of Stephen Crane or of
some one else. the technic is
the authors own. There are
many fine touches, such as
when a straggler says of
others who have run away
from a deadly rain of lead: II
got notion they were not only
trying to get away from the
fighting. they were trying to
walk right out of the human
race"

Mr.. O'Neill has written
temperate, scholarly and per-
suasive reply to Paul Blanshard,
who in two recent books as
sailed the Catholic church and
questioned the patriotism and
good citizenship of Americans
who live up to all its tenets.
While Mr.. O'Neill's book is
mostly in answer to Mr.. Blan-
shard's first book, American
Freedom and Catholic Power"
his defense of the church ap-
plies equally to the second book,
Communism, Democracy and
Catholic Power" Mr.. O'Neill
is a Catholic layman and has
been an educator for As years,
80 of them in public schools OF

in a Catholic school, nor was he
ever a student in one. His book
is his own and by no means an
official Catholic answer to Mr..
Blanshard.

irresponsible nature of many
charges which Mr.. Blanshard
made against the Vatican and
the Catholic hierarchy, point
