@She stated that Mr.. Eisenhower
has already initiated concrete &C
tion and will unquestionably init
afe5lnores She cited the abolition
of segregation in Washington
: s..aurants, and his move to do
away with segregation in the army
and navy bases as proof of his
sincerity.
She further pointed to the Presi~
dents recent action in creating the
Government Contracts Committee,
with increased powers, as another
example of his being ga man of
action and not words"
She also praised him for the ap-
pointment of a Negro on the parole
board. Since about 40 per cent Of
inmates of federal prisons are
Negroes, she said these unforu-
mates should have some represen-
tation on the board to assure them
protection and guarantee them
civil rights.
She admitted, however, that the
Republican party does not reject
to the appointment of persons to
official position who either have
a known record opposing civil
rights or who refuse to pledge their
support to the Presidents program
for equal opportunity for all citi-
zenS, because:
"The strength Of our democracy
lies in the divergence of views of
the people who go to make up this
great country. Public debate and
difference Of opinion are the in
gradients of which public and pri-
vate opinion are made. The Presi
dent is not for suppressing free
dom of speech and thought, but he
is for correlating the thinking Of
all segments of the people and
then screening out and using that
which benefits all people"
In referring to the appointment
of Gov. James Byrnes of South
Carolina as a delegate to the Uni
ted Nations, she pointed out that
she did not agree with his atti
tude toward Negroes, "but the
President wanted to use the ex
perience with, and knowledge of,
government which Gov. Byrnes
possesses"
"a delegate to the United Ma
tions represents the policy of the
administration" she further stat
ed, land in his official capacity
cannot go beyond this, since he

occurred Sunday when an angry
white resident of the area drenched
a woman real estate agent with a
garden hose after the agent had
shown prospective Negro buyer
through white-owned home at 481
E. Olive.
The overt act of protest was
committed by an elderly, gray
haired woman, one of a group of
about 20 sullen faced area resi-
dents who had crowded about.
1t took place about p8 M, with
policemen sitting in squad car
ION watch about 200 #. away and
few days before Mayor Frank
Tobey was expected to meet with
a group of Negro and white citizens
to work out solution to the prob
lem in the area.
Mayor Tobey two weeks ago
promised representatives of the
Negro Chamber of Commerce and
Bluff City Council of Civic Clubs
that "an immediate solution" would
be sought to the matter. He said
a meeting would be called, probably
this week, to consider action to
be taken.
At the same meeting, Police
Chief E. H. Reeves was quoted as
stating that people in the transit
ton areas would have "police pro-
lection, the whole force if it takes
it." No arrests were made Satur-
day.

There is one debt we all must pay
Regardless how every man stand
Death is coming for every soul on
earth
From the paper to that millionaire
man.
Death is the gate of endless joy
If you have been washed in the
blood of the Lamb
Sorry, if you have never been born
of the Spirit of God
Your soul is going to be damned.
Why can't you see your mistake in
time
There's something that keeps you
in a dread
The love of money is the root OF
Is that your trouble on ahead.
If that is your trouble you had
DeCtef sell out
And give to the poor some of your
gold
Why gain the world and her riches
And loose your precious soul.
God is God of all mercy
And he tells US all vengeance is
mine
Accept the love of God today
And come get on that old main line.
Don't think | am trying to fool you
God gives to me a message to write
And tell the people they had bet,
ter turn around
1t will help both black and white.
Running Springs are in the coun-
try
Your big Tanks are in the towns
The Springs don't have no pure
fire
But they are looking for a Starry
Crown.
Jesus left this world in the hands
of men
And gave them a charge to keep
Man broke Jesus law soon as He
left
So this world is now in the deep.
Deep in sin as the earth is from
the sky
Women are taking the place of men
When they ought to be home train
ing their children
Because this is where our trouble
begin.
Look for me each week in the

thing new. Telling you all about
the love of God. It's the saying of

We the following members of the
theological class in leadership
training during the Youth Congress
do here commend Rev. Jno. J. Mo-
rant for his mastery instruction
on the subject "How The Bible
Was Given To U.s."
AS an "exegete" from histor-
ical and classical viewpoint he
stands among the most learned
minds of the Negro race in gen
eral and the peer of the scholars
of the A. M e. Church in partic-
ular.
We thank Bishop H. Thomas
Primm for appointing DR.. Morant
as one of our instructors during
the youth congress and most re-
specially petition Bishop Primm
that he be made a fixture in our
Theological Training for Christian

might help in marriage counsel
ing or even in human relations"
On the issue of whether sep
arate study on the sex behavior of
Negro women should be under
taken, DR.. Queener belives it
would be "a very interesting thing
to do" but predicts that if a close
watch is kept on the social classes,
the report will follow the same
trend as the one now out. Miss
Trigg is of the opinion that such
study, would only "prove again
that the behavior of people are
much alike, white or Negro.

NIGHT: l was sitting down eat

was a boy long about this time of
year we'd bee singing school days
school days dear old golden
rule days and what made me
think more about it as / went a
long was the Rule, which in them
days wasn't no Gold at all but
just long green rule about half
inch thick that the teachers always
kept handy, and used regularly, so
that they wouldn't have to take
the time and trouble of explaining
to the school board how come there
amt no discipline" in the school
rooms, lack l hear is going on to-
day Nutter thing that gave
me cause for thought is that |
don't hear the kids singing school
days no more lack we used to do in
my day. l tried to figure it out
while l was sitting there eating
my Fish and drinking my beer,
and while | amt one to be taking
anything from the kids of today
| just couldn't help but feel that
the reason they amt singing no
more lack we used to is because
they don't appreciate the rule"
lack we used too and | have
just about reached the conclusion
that because there amt no more
"rule" in the school room like it
used to be the kids now of days
don't have the same kind of thrill
for the coming of school days like
we used too have because the
taking out of the school of the
rule, and the right to apply it
to the most sensitive part of the
kids anatomy when warranted has
sure took something outta the kids
are should l say, has sure
made it almost impossible for the
"reaF teacher to get anything
much into the kids and has
given a lotta other teachers the ex-
cuse of following the line of least
resistance in dealing with the kids
