NEW CHORE - Some time
back it was suggested in this
corner that one of the major
things wrong with televiSion was
that Eric Sevareid wasn't on it.
Mr.. Sevareid's reaction was that
he'd be happy to go on television
if we could think of a way for
him to do it. We failed him,
but somebody at CHS came
through.
Making precious little fuss
about it-falling just short Of
keeping tia secret, in fact-CBS
has corrected this television i'll.
Mr.. Sevareid now is ON televi-
sion. making a weekly Report
to the People" on Sunday after
Moons at 4 (WTOP-TVo.
This is no unmixed blessing, Of
course. The man. at CHS who is
charged with frustrating the dis
eliminating televiewers has been
on the alert. That Sunday half
hour during which Mr.. Sevareid
reports now is the one occupied
on the NBC-TV by "Kulka, Fran
and Ollie"

KILLJOY-Bill Williams, who
plays Kit Carson on television,
passes along a further report on
the effect of violent TV drama
on the young. What it proves,
he doesn't know and he is not
alone.
Seems his 6-year -old daugh-
ter, Jody. was watching a Kit
Carson film and began to leap
with excitement when the villain
began to push the hero around.
They're hurting my daddy,
they're hurting my daddy" she
yelled.
Don't worry, honey" said Bill
reassuringly, They can't hurt
me. I'm sitting right here beside
you."
"Oh, go away, Daddy" said

NOT QUITE SO BAD-The
report Of radios death at the
hands Of television is another
one which has been grossly exag-
gerated. Total. time sales for
1852 were the biggest in history,
according to the new Broadcast
ing Yearbook, compiled annually
by the editors of Broadcasting-
Telecasting Magazine. Network
sales were of, but local adver-
tisers and spot advertisers boosted
broadcasting's total business to
$464. .439 900. This was an in
crease of 81, 1896 900 over 1861.

HELPS CHURCH
Thompson lived an eventful life
in the Minnesota territory. Serv-
ing as an interpreter for mission
aries, he became interested in the
work himself, and was a great
aid to the church that had set him
free.
In June 1871, Thompson took
part in the Old Settlers meeting
at the capitol, the only Negro to
participate in that celebration, and
the only Negro member of the as
ISOLATION. The st. Paul Daily press
described him thusly:

That Negro was bred Scott. His
wedding to the servant girl Of
Major Talaferro was the first ac-
tual wedding between two Ne
groes in Minnesota territory.
INDIANS AIDED
Before this, however, it is said
that there was a free Negro nam
ed John Stewart, who commenced
a successful religious and educa-
tive work among the Wyandotte
Indians in 1919 in the upper San
dusky. The influence of this effort
extended into Canada, as other
Indians were converted and be-
came active helpers.
The Missionary Society of the
Methodist Episcopal church claims
that Stewart was the first Pro-
testant missionary in the Mime
sofa territory. stewart was
brought here from an Eastern
state by other white missionaries
who came to convert the Indians.

Quietly, the men were plotting
one of the few sales of a Negro
slave in Minnesota, James Thomp-

the sale of the Negro on the block

This was Minnesota, and one
trader" was a missionary, Alfred
Bunson. Bunson wanted an in
terpreter who spoke the Sioux
language fluently, and Thompson
was the man.
Thompson was brought to Fort
Smelling in 1927 by John Culbert-
son. He was purchased by Captain
Day, an officer at Fort Smelling,
who later sold him to Bunson.
Later, it is said that Thompson

had been bought by another plan
tation owner some distance from
Boone County.
Hickman was determined to
take his family with him to this
Northern state. There were his
wife. Minty, his eldest son, John,
and his daughter, Edith.

II must sneak like thief and

THEY STEAL AWAY
To do this. Hickman had two
things in his favor. He was a fam
liar figure on this plantation. as
he often visited his wife, also be-
cause of his strength, no one dared
modest him.
Using one man to slip into the
plantation to warn his wife to be
ready for travel. Hickman went
casually among the slaves speak
ing to them as he always did. In
a pretense on spending the night
on the plantation with his wife,
he was allowed to remain there.
At midnight, he stole away, TAX
ing his wife and two children with
him.

Given the job Of splitting rails

WHITES GATHER
Hastily, the whites gathered for
conference to decide what was
to be done with the black men.
They thought it would be best to
scatter them. Consequently, some
were sent to st. Anthony Falls,
Cnow Minneapolis,) some to Still
water, and some were allowed to

Many stories have arisen as TO
how this group of refugee slaves
came to be separated as it was.
One tale was that the group drift
ted here on a crudely built raft.
Drifting some times by the wind
and at times hitching their raft
to steamboats, coming North, they
reached st. Anthony Falls, and
there planned to diesmbark.

The remainder, of the Methodist

the water became shallow. There
they got off the raft, and soon or
ganized the what later came to
be known as the Little st. James

This small group by no means
contained the first Negroes in
Minnesota. As far as can be gath

Yet, all was not gloom and

at night. religious hymns could be
