Neqro Doctor Is Named
An Outstanding Citizen

Everyone just needs to be patient,
and things that seem to be prob
lems won't be problems any more.
We (the Negroes) can't make any
body like US. It's a thing of the
heart. All we can do is wait and
hope"
His greatest challenge came in
1888 when typhoid fever epi-
demic struck his people. 1t was
during the depression and many
Negroes could not afford $1.30
month for city water connection.
They used creek water-contami-
mated water from Bull Branch
creek
DR.. Dickey went before the city
commissioners with proof that Bull
Branch, into which some cess pools
drained, was part of the city sewer
disposal system. The city opened
fire hydrants and allowed the poor,
Negro and white alike, to carry
water away in buckets. The state
department of health provided ty-
phoid vaccine and DR.. Dickey
worked long hours giving three in
jections to every Negri who would
take them. There was no charge.
DR.. Dickey persuaded the city to
let him use an empty rooming
house for treatment of typhoid VIC
TINS. On the same site today is the
Dickey clinic, his 15-bed hospital
erected in 1885.
With typhoid whipped, the Me-
gro. doctor turned to infant diar-
rhea, the high death rate of the
newborn, venereal diseases and tu-
berculosis. Before he came, the
birth of a Negro baby in hospital
was all but unheard of. Education,
a venereal disease clinic, a new
state tubercular hospital for Me-
groes at Kerrville, Tex.-these
helped defeat the health problem.
The Negro doctor says: There
has never been a white physician
in my town who has ever refused
to help me with case when. !
called him."

Negroes ToIent
Going To Woste

DR.. Herman R. Branson, profess
soc of Physics and Atomic Energy
Commission research of Howard
University, said at Morgan State
College assembly that America
needs to use people of ability and
talent to win its present struggle
for free world. Yet Negroes" tai
ents are being wasted. DR.. Bran
son pointed out that although there
were 6O,963 Negroes in colleges
last year only IL were awarded
PhD. degrees in all fields.
He explained how difficult it was
q few years ago to place Howard
University graduates majoring in
the sciences, in positions because
of discrimination bars. But there
is no more of that foolishness, he
said.
DR.. Branson was introduced by
DR.. Julius H. Taylor, head of the
Department of Physics at Morgan
and an Ordnance Research grant,
aWardee.

BY KATHERINE e. BASS

Three women were injured, none

TAYLOR, Tex, Jan. 28.-This
central Texas city tonight named
as its outstanding citizen of 1852 q
Negro doctor who has watched over
the health of his people for 50
years.
The aWard-an engraved plaque
given by four local civic clubs
went to DR.. James Lee Dickey
whose quiet, easy-going ways belle
determination which conquered
typhoid, tuberculosis and deadly
infant diarrhea among Negroes
here.
DR.. Dickey, now SO, came to Tay-
lor as a young medical graduate in
1921 to "stay a few years" But
he remained to do my life's work. y
AT that time, Negroes waited in
hospital halls until doctors had
treated white patients. Negroes
were not allowed in theaters, and
one, stranger in town, was pistol
whipped for asking at the box Of
flee if he could be admitted.
Now Taylor has a 15-bed modern
hospital for Negroes. Their health
is better, the infant diarrhea death
rate is down, tuberculosis almost
whipped. Negroes attend the Rita
theater on Main street in this city
OF about 10000 people. They sit in
the balcony.
Race relations are getting bet
ter" DR.. Dickey believes. eve
need time for the races to UNDER
stand and to know each other.
