On May 9. 1852, we will begin cur 10Th
year of uninterrupted service to Arkan-
sas readers of the State Press The Press
made its initiative appearance on the streets
of Little Rock May 8, 1911.
No one can say that these eleven years
have been encouraging and pleasant, AMI
neither can anyone say that they have all
been unpleasant and dscouraging, W. fee.
that, despite the obstacles that have bean
strewn in our path thru the eoope alton Of
the masses, the Press has made progress,
and the Arkansas Negro is much closer to
his goal Of first class citizenship than he
was when the Press appeared on the seem.
We are proud of the Arkansas Negro.
We are proud that he has shown a willing
ness, supported by courage. to break away
from the beaten path of an early tradition,
to a more substantial way of living. How
ever, we reluctantly admit, that there are
periods when Encouragement mars our fu.
ture aspect when our present day leaders
cast aspersion upon us in order that they
might bask in the pseudo glory of those who
refuse to recognize our rights.
We entered the publishing field in Ar

had to be done and changes which had t.
be made if the Negro were ever to become
a recognized citizen of America. We were
not incognizant that the Negro was noncha-
liant of citizenship responsibility. Neither
were we asleep over the non-citizenship
rights that were accorded the Negro. We
knew that it had to be long range program.
We also knew that certain amount of
goodwill had to be evidenced between him
and his light skin neighbor. But we were
then - eleven years ago-and are now
very doubtful that goodwill. and goodwill "a
lone, will get the Negro the rights that
are incorporated in the federal constitution.
and are guaranteed - guaranteed only by
words - to him by the federal government.
The Negro must pay the price, whatever
the price Is. And then, he must accept with
out equivoeation, the responsibility that
goes along with his rights.

the kind of service and envrnment modern
education demands.
Through the untiring efforts of Presi
dent Lawrence A. Davis, who became
president upon the death of the late John
Brown Watson in 1912, the generosity of
the governor and the state legislature, the
cooperation of the citizens of the state, the
alumni, the college has been strengthened.
Its new buildings costing more than S1,700,-
600 will harvest great returns in higher edu-
cation, and reap better citizens for the fu-
ture service.

Our Protesting Negro Press" Is Praised By Pageant

Our protesting Negro press" is depict

April issue of Pageant Its national in
fluence is more potent that some of us are
aware, says the widely read monthly The
big five nationally circulating weeklies plus
two dailies and about 200 local weeklies
have a current circulation of about 2,000,-
600 and together they exert a powerful in
fluence on the country's 100000 Negro

The opening of the article also indicates
that the Negro press has a not inconsidera-
BILE influence on the white public. The OPP
position of the Negro press to former
presidential candidate, and the influence of
the Defender in favor of President Truman
in 1948 are cited.
What the pageant publcizes is some
thing Of which the Negro should make
more conscious and deliberate use One of
the most effective elements in Negro pro-
gress has been and is the Negro press. The
"pitless publicity given to all forms of
prejudice and discrimination against the
race, the careful reports of the doings Of

Adding Up Events
BY EARL

According to Washington news service
bureau events are all turning up one after
another, for instance, the recent corruption
clean up drive. Let us see what is happen
ing In recent weeks if we note there has
been more firing than hiring in and about
our nations capital The firing of Newbold
Morris who was in the beginning both Nc.
Grath's and Truman's man (apponted by
McGrath and affirmed by Truman) came as
a shock and within the same "a hour period
Attorney General McGrath was relieved of
his duties. You know the story "round and
round she goes, where she stops nobody
knows, that seemingly is the case in the
investigations on government corruption.
Judge James p McGranery. a former
assistant Attorney General is appointed to
take up where Attorney General McGrath
left off. The Attorney General designate is
said to be in full accord with McGrath in
regards to Morris release.
Since we have a new cleanup chief,
investigations would get underway, at least
we thought so until we were recently told
that his first order of business was to find
out If clean up was needed.

in the baking dish and be- sure to
butter the edges. Line this with
q layer Of light crackers. Put on

Cook the oysters separately as
for stew, namely. heat the milk
and butter together and the oys-
ters- separately. then combine
them and add 2 beaten eggs at
the last, thickening the whole
with a spoonful of fine cracker
crumbs. They should stew only s
minutes.
Open the top crust from the
already hot baked shell and pour
the above oyster stew into 1t and
lower the top crust and serve
piping hot. Baking the crust first
prevents the oysters from being
overly done, but Of course it is not
necessary. BY buttering the edges
Of the dish it makes it easier to
lift the top crust UP. A more mod
ern method Is to insert wax paper
over the bottom crust and put the
top crust on it. Then lift lt up
easily when the stew is ready.
