Tuesday night, December 2,
the M on rchs started their
basketball season off with a bang
by beating the Scottsdale Beavers
47-39, and ending their twenty-five
game winning streak. 1t was very
exciting game all the way with the
Beavers trying real hard to over
take Is point lead at the half
time. Charles Lucky was high point
man for the MonarchS with thir-
teen points while John Poer of the
Beavers led with fifteen points.
The Junior Varsity won their game
by a runaway score of 1928. To-
night the Monarchs go up against
a strong Wickenburg five at Wick
enburg. Last year the Monarchs
beat the Wranglers 79-41, but this
year they are expecting greater
game.
The Monarchs' pep assembly last
Tuesday morning, December l.,
1853, introduced the Varsity and
Junior Varsity squads. New men,
bers of the Varsity squad are Will

NEW YORK, (GlobaD - There's
a fellow by the name of Chuck
Dresser who ought to be doing a
slow burn right now, and if he is
not, we'll do it for him.
AS everybody knows, Chuck was
chucked last year when he re-
fused to sign one year contract
to manage the Brooklyn Dodgers.
He argued that anybody who had
hung up a record like his was de-
serving of a little longer term.
There were a few terse words
written in a letter that never
should have been mailed and O'Mal-
ley, the recipient and Dresser, the
sender, parted on the worst of
terms.
And now, after period of
mysterious goings on reminiscent
of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, the an
neuncement has finally been nrade
that Walter Emmons Aston, for
merly of the Montreal team, will
be the new Dodger manager.
They say this fellow Aston is as
nice as he can be, and fine man.
ager. They say further that he's
wanted the spot ever since he
heard that Dresser was leaving. He
will make a good showing in Flat
bush, they say, and we wish him all
the luck in the world.
But we can't help but be peeved
about is that the front office ap-
pears to be bargain-hunting for
someone to win them the World
Series. Aston is practically being
admonished to "go over the top
next year. All this is considerably
less in salary than his predecessor

Getting
Along
RY LAUREEN WHITE


NEW YORK, (GlobaD Roscoe
Conkling Simmons, silver-tongued
orator of years gone by, used many
catchy phrases. One was, "A white
man enslaved you, but remember,
another white man set you free"
Those of us intensely interested
in getting along would do well to
consider the wisdom Of that re-
mark. That wisdom was certainly
impressed upon the writer while
reading Mysteries of Ohio's I'm
derground Route" by Wilbur Hem
ry Siebert. Gang's College Book
Co., Columbus, o.
The author has assembled a.
wealth of material concerning the
flight of runaway slaves through
the state of Ohio. Many Ohio citi-
zens denounced abolitionists in the
presence Of southerners, but work.
ed with the underground at every
opportunity. There was Perry Fee,
who often pretended to help slave
holders to seek their slaves, but
would invariably lead them to va
cant hiding places.
/ There was Captain Pierce,
freight agent for steamboat COM
lipany in Cleveland, who would give
lirepeated warnings not to trans
lgress the law by bringing refugees
Ito his colnpany's wharf. Neverthe-
less, they were brought there OPEN
lily, the freight agent keeping his
back deliberately turned toward
the gangplank while the Canada
bound Negroes embarked on the
boat. During the 1859-1860, F.. H.
Paden was a conductor on the Sam
dusky, Mansfield to Newark Rail-
road, with the extra duty of caring
for it's underground passengers.
Once he received information that
nine fugitives would board his train
Lat Uticafor Sandusky, where it was
Idue at 10 o'clock that night. The,
Negroes passed into different cars
[from a crowded platform scarcely
tbeing watched. Later Mr.. Paden as
fsembled them quietly into rear
lear and helped them continue their
Tourney to freedom.
Many white people built secret
apartments in their homes and Sc
Lcret passageways from their homes
land barns to be used by fugitivies.
There are authentic cases where
Shareholders and deputy marshals
knew that farmers were harboring
slaves, and the farms would often
have white farm hands blackened
up to look like slaves, and lead the
Shareholders and marshalS a merry
chase while the Negroes escaped.
All this happened when the Fugi-
tiVe Slave Law was in existence
land there were severe penalties for
aiding runaway slaves, but these
i Efreedom-loving whites took the
chance.
In this same spirit, there are fair
minded white people today who are
working increasingly in the cause
of freedom. We owe them our
|Ethanks and our support.

Education
Notes

t4lC oOOtI HdS 1OI yet SIuSU ICScA1
| for all out war against integrated
schools in case the Supreme Court
outlaws racial separation in the
public schools, it is certain they are
not going to take it lying down
Many of them are busy now work
ing out ways and means of skirting
the law.
At the recent Southern Gov
ernors' Conference at Hot Springs,
Va, it is reported that none of
the chief executives came out into
the open with the discussion, ex-
| cept for the Conference chairman
Gov. Herman E. Talmadge Of
Georgia, in his opening address. He
warned of the dire consequences
that might follow an adverse ruling
by the Supreme Court"
Although there was no general
discussion on the issue, many of the
Governors expressed private opin-
ions, and talked of plans in the
making in their respective states
in case of such an adverse decision.
Some of them were quite ingenious.
For instance, in Georgia, the
plan would be to Immediately stop
all appropriations to schools which
do not practice segregation. Then
all schools would be turned over
to private agencies to be operated
as segregated schools. The State
would then help to maintain them.
South Carolina has not been a.
sleep, either. Governor Byrnes has
Iappointed a committee to study
possible courses of action" in the
event of adverse decision. MiSSis-
sippi Ga state which boasts" the
highest illiteracy rate in the Union)
is also ready. A special session of
its Legislature has been called to
deal with the problem"
Some of the other Southern states
feel they will cross the bridge if
and when they come to 1T, and
Gov. Umstead of North Carolina
says, II am not assuming what the
Supreme Court will do in this or
any other case"
1t would seem, then, that most
LSoutherners have given a great
ideal of thought to the matter of
keeping the races apart. and very
little to the possibility of their
ever getting together. Mississippi
certainly not the richest State in
the Union, has placed before its
Legislature a program calling for
an eventual Appropriation Of $10o
Imillion to create separate but
Iequap school facilities. There
would be endless possibilities to-
ward decent race relations, many
persons point out, if this sum could
be spent on constructive programs
designed to bring about better race
relations. The State could use such
sum for other improvements, all
Isorely needed, they point out, but
the important issue now is to keep
the races apart. Most states seem
to be hoping that the Court will
mot upset the separate but equal
Edoctrine.
"These Governors, many of them
have been schooled in the segre-
gated system, and many of them
have never bothered to make a
study of any other situation" one
school teacher said. MANY schools
in the South or in border states
have taken polls among their stu
dents and found them willing tC
have non-segregated schools. Sure
ly, this being true, the Governors
must realize that the world would
not come to an end if Negro and
white children went to school to-
gether."
