CANCER RESEARCH

Cancer research was described
this week by Mrs. Evelyn Leon

Unit, ACS as a dividend-bear.

She said that the American
public already is reaping Sub

that receives its support from
contributions to the current Can,

Research has made it possible
to cure an unprecedented number
of cancer patients, Mrs. Leonard
said.
MANY lives that would have
been forfeited to cancer just a
few years ago are being saved
today thanks to research deve

Leonard added. eve do not talk
about their curing cancer yet
But more and more they are

NEGRO YOUTH
SHOT TO DEATH

A friendly tussle over a single.
shot rifle today ended in death
for a Negro youth at Bolton.
The victim of the accident was
Evans Monroe. 20, who was
struck by a bullet just under the
heart.
The accident occurred about
$50 and Monroe was dead on ar.
rival at Columbus County Hos
pital.
Katie Waddell, 20, mother of a
fivemonth-old girl, was Jailed
temporarily by Deputy Sheriff L.
r. Wayne while the shooting was
being investigated, but she was
released about noon.
The shooting took place at the
Waddell home as the woman was
preparing to remove the cart.
ridge from the weapon. She said
Monroe grabbed hold of the gun
and was tussling with her over
the weapon, disregarding her
warning that it was loaded.
Questioned at county Jail here,
she said she didn't know whether
his hand touched the trigger or
whether the jar of the playful
youth caused the weapon to dis
charge. She said she had hold
only of the rifle stock at the
time of the accident.
The woman's story was zorro
borrated by another neighbor
the Rev. Powder Butler, who
happened to be visiting the home
at the time.

HConnot Be Done Thut Woy

group of Negro clergymen has presented
to General Eisenhower program one point of
which is the elimination by executive order of
racial segregation in Washington.
1t is not surprising that the group wants
General Eisenhower, when he becomes President,
to do what he can do to eliminate, as the gen.
eral himself expressed it during the campaign,
"every vestige of segregation in the District
of Columbia" But it is surprising that Negro
leaders are advocating that he accomplish that
objective by executive order. They should know
that it is not within his powers to do so.
The most conspicuous "vestige' of segrega-
tion in the District of Columbia is the dual
school system. The courts have held that this
system was established by act of Congress. The
Supreme Court is considering whether the
system itself is valid under the Constitution.
But should the court hold that it does not
contravene the Constitution, the repeal of the
act establishing the dual school system could
only come through congressional action.
Advocacy of an executive order to end segre-
cation in the District is probably designed as
propaganda. In this respect, it is comparable to
the various pressures placed on school and num-
cipal authorities to end segregation by some
action of their own. But it is doubtful If such
propaganda is in the end effective. It is based
on Misrepresentation of the issues and is there
fore misleading, fact that tends to weaken
rather than strengthen the case against seq
regation.

This and That

Modern interior lighting is now at
crossroads.
Is the civilized world to 60 H1 to
brighter and brighter lights (and lights
more difficult on the eyes) or will it
combine some modicum Of common
sense with glare?
This is the thought that came to
Templeton Jones after his first week
under fluorescent lights.
The long tubes made things so bright
that Jones was delighted-until they
were turned of.
Then ordinary daylight seemed so
dim that he wondered how he could
ever read again.
Probably folks felt that way when gas
light came into vogue.
The first tremendous glimmer Of
Edison's wonder bulb must have seemed
fairly binding.
The new lights. in any age. strike the
observer as having some faults. and this
is probably true, since the search for
bigger and better lighting goes right on.
Jones could remember when he first
came to Washington as q child.
He was years old.
His fathers first house in Washing
ton was lit with gas.
A few homes then had electricity.
but gas was the main lighting.

ton OF the Police Department. not Of the School
Board. But this is an observation that overlooks
some important facts. One is that the absence
OF sidewalks along some Of the citys streets
would expose small children to a serious traffic
hazard; Another is that while safety may be
function of the Police Department. and not of
the School Board, the police are lacking in
personnel and facilities to safeguard children on
their way to and from school.
In it's current budget, the School Board in
cluded a minimum item for transportation, be-
lieving it justified by the dangers and incon-
veniences that would attend abandonment of
the school Buses If the City Council should
adopt MIR. McCrary's proposal, it will have to
assume responsibility for the consequences. There
is little reason to believe, however, that the gov
erning body will approve such an unwise recon-
mendation.

Letters to The Star

where there are sufficient number of
children OF school age to justify the
erection of school, the parents of those
children band together and decide what
Kind OF education they would like for
their children to have. It is, suppose. a
sort OF corporation. They choose the
teachers, the school building, its site.
etc. Then they make application to the
government for financial assistance in
founding the school and for it's con-
tinued maintenance. If the request is
within reasonable bounds and fulfills the
standards. the money is granted.
The advantages to this are almost
innumerable. although it is not without
problems. Where there is thick popu-
lation, for example, those who want their
children to learn the classics may have
their own school by supplementing the
government assistance for the extra
1acllltles, whereas those who merely
want trade school may have one to
themselves; likewise with those who
want sectarian schools. In the less pop
ulated areas where there are not enough
people to justify many various kinds of
schools the parents must decide among
themselves and reach a compromise.
Then they follow that compromise to
which at least most agree and are not
bound to a state policy with which per-
haps none agree.
Here in America we have the addi-
tlonal problem of segregation. But even
to that there may be an answer some
where.
Many OF the difficulties are obvious.
but most OF the solutions are only little
less obvious. Reader.

another Scrambling work day with its
businesS-as-usual attitude.
Why don't we take the hint given us
by 100 generations who have enjoyed
Christmas time before us? Why don't
we allow Christmas to do us some good?
We live, after all, in history's most high
strung civilization, and our age, more
than any other. needs good rousing
annual celebration in which to grasp
joys Of living we are usually too hurried
to appreciate.
The custom Of this festival at the
turn of the year did not begin with
the Nativity. It is more than 1000 years
old. The Babylonians called it the Tag
muk. The Romans hailed 1t as the
Saturnalia. In the northlands, green
boughs in the homes symbolized the
renewal Of life with the new years
coming. In December, when the days
ebbed and winters white death gripped
all living things, the powers of good
battled with those of evil to win an
other season of growth and warmth.
Since the dawn Of history. peoples have
celebrated and have given thanks at
this time when boisterousneSs bubbled
over, when gifts were given, when mas
ters exchanged places with slaves, when
kings doffed their regalia in humility.
Earthly pleasure and religious faith
found a single voice in great and
happy hymn.
And these ancient holidays, so natural
for men to observe, wove round the
Christian story, enriching its worldly
expression. At first the church frowned
on what it felt was a pollution Of
Christ's Mass with pagan revelries, but
this time when God became human was
an occasion for celebration in human
terms. In way, the Yuletide feast was
the greatest gift which man brought to
the Stable, for in essence it was simple
human happiness. happiness that all
things can be made new.

Christmas Story

The Mississippi Vocational College is a small
Negro institution in the deep South With
Christmas approaching, the students built a
Nativity scene on the campus.
It was wrecked one night by four white teen
age vandals. The wreckers escaped and the
Negro students might have rebuilt their Christ
mas scene themselves. But it didn't work out
that way
Instead, according to DR.. ]. H. White college
president he was swamped with calls from white
residents Of the area, offering help financially
and manually in repairing the damage. In two
days, with the aid of Negroes and whites. the
Nativity scene was rebuilt.
If there is preachment in this little story,
1t is one Of hope for better relationship in the
future. DR.. White put it this way: 1T was a
wonderful, heart-warming experience. :. {. :. I want
to see the day when my people will not judge
all white people by Q few and when white
people win not Judge all my people by q few"

robust celebration brought healthy Joy
and refreshment to worried and forgetful
lives. Twelve days of Christmas pro-
vided time to relax the tautness of
years struggle and to experience lifes
true values anew.
But now, after frantic, billion dollar
buildup of more than a month, we con-
tent ourselves with just one day of
frenzied festivity; one day to get new
grip on life; one day to find star among
the tinsel.
The day may start with a blown fuse
and end with blown temper. It is
an occasion for egg nog but also for
aspirin. The hours are packed as tightly
as stuffed turkey with presents, food
and people, leaving no room for appre-
citation. for refreshment or for friend
ship. At the end of this hectic holiday,
children are weeping with fatigue; par
ents grouchy with equal exhaustion The
morning after that greets us is just
