winter and summer tours. But
this year too many sponsors had
money to burn. There was no
rest for the travel-weary. Some
how they've crammed one more
tournament than there have
been weeks of the year into their
schedule.
The latter circumstance was
brought about by a tournament
conflict for the first time. Late
in May, big-spender Waco
Turner offered bonuses for
brides, eagles and aces and
more than the $4,000 summer
prize minimum if the pros would
come to Ardmore. Okla.
The same week, Robert r.
Young staged the spring festival
at the Greenbrier, where in
addition to $4,000 in prize
money the pros spent a free
week at the plush resort, and
they had a chance to figure in
the rich Calcutta pool winnings
of their amateur partners. There
were more big names at Green
briar than at Ardmore.
Most of the big names, Hogan
Snead, Mangrum. Middlecoff,
Worsham, Harrison. Demaret.

Slightly younger fellows who are
bidding for the fame of the first
group, players like Doug Ford
Ted Kroll, Tommy Bolt and Dave
Douglas, have gone most of the

Throwing in some of the side
events, the pros have played for

Scared as hell Afraid of this very action
that has been taken by the NAACP He knows
that he has been lying to the Negro for many
years, and he knew sooner or later, he would
have to answer for his deception. Even then
he was not afraid enough to let his school
suffer to make our school better. Every time
he spent one dollar on Negro schools, he spent
many more on his own. This should prove to
Mr. upper bracket Negro that white people
are not going to float bond issues for mil
lions of dollars just to be spent on Negro
schools alone
Many Negro teachers will be pushed out
of Jobs If segregation is ruled out is another
reason given by certain Negroes for the con-
tinuation of segregation There is no doubt
about 1t, many Negro teachers will be job
hunting. and many white teachers will also
be job hunting. As true as this is, 1t stu Is
not pathetic. The pathetic part is that there
are many Negroes and many whites now
teaching instead of job hunting, Only people
who are not qualified will be listed among the
iobless When jobs are not available for quail
fled people, jobs are made for them, by them
These upper bracket" Negroes say we
will lose what gains we have made If the SUI
preme Court rules against the white south
This is a lot of bunk. Maybe it would be bet
ter if some adversely did hit the Negro, it
could serve to arouse him from his state of
complacency and make him get up and go to
work toward gaining his place in a democracy.
AS long as the Negro has the use of the ballot,
and will use it intellPently and mitantly,
he will have no fear of any thing that Tai
madge and Byrnes can cook up for it is later
than these two guys think
We have even heard that it would be
boodshed in the south if segregation were
abolished This we not buy. We don't
believe that the white man in dixie is that
much farther from civilization than his broth
ers living in the north east and west
We say if the United States Supreme
Court will, let it bring the south into the
union.
