Madam Sahara
Address
At Dbl. School

On Friday, April 3, the pupils
of Douglass School were favored
by visit of Madam Seth Sahara
of Adds Ababa, Ethiopia.
Madam Sahara made her first
visit to this country in 1917. She
became a citizen of the United
States and remained in New York
City until 1881. She then returned
to Ethiopia with a decision to
stay, but the Italian invasion Of
1885, brought her back to New
York City where she remained I'M
til 1852.
In 1852, the Emperor, Halle Sell
AISLE, hearing of Madam Sahara's
visit to her native land invited her
to the palace to tell him of the
fabulous land called America. He
was so fascinated by her story
and the wonderful work that is
being done in this country, that
he asked Madam to try to interest
Colored technicians in coming to
Ethiopia to bring scientific infor-
nation to this ancient land and
help repair many Of the DANA
ges that resulted from the Italian
invasion. It is in this interest
that Madam Sahara is touring the
country speaking at high schools
and colleges.
Madam Sahara has been heard
at Trinity Church, Rev. George
w. Allen, pastor and at the church
of The God of Prophecy. She viii
be heard on Sunday night at Cor
nish Chapel A. M. E. Zion Church.

Shotgun Marriages

The impending arrival of the
stork accounts for many more of
US. weddings than is suspected is
indicated by the findings of DR..
Harold IT. Christensen. (Purdue), 4,
according to Amram Scheinfeld, in
the current issue of the Cosmopol-
itan Magazine. BASED on his COM
parisons in. Indiana between birth
dates of 1,5O0 first born children
and the wedding dates. of their
parents" he conservatively esti-
mates that for the country at
large about one in five first born
babies is conceived well before the
parents marriage" Many weddings
have ben hurfiedly arranged, vol
unfairly or under parental pres
sure. 1t is stated that most of the
weddings take place two or three
months after the time of concep-
ton, or presumably, just, as, soon as
pregnancy is known.

Congressional Medal
Hero Written
|Up In Red Book

The life of Sgt. Cornelius Charl-
ton who was awarded the Con-
gressional Medal of Honor posthu-
mously on Lincoln's Birthday in
1852, is told in the May issue of
Red Book Magazine, its 5Oth an
-niversary number. The story of the
dead hero" is sympathetically
written by Lionel White.
Charlton was the second Negro
in the Korea War to receive the
highest award for heroism on the
battle fields for servie "above and
beyond the call of duty" All his
life he wanted to be a soldier, the
story relates, and he gave his
mother no rest until she consented
for him to join the Army in the
fall of 1916 when he was only II
years old.
On January "a, 1949, Connie, as
he was known to his family and
friends, was discharged from the
Army and re-enlisted within twen-
ty-hour hours. The magazine story
tells of his birth and childhood in
one of the gray clapboard houses"
of a mining town in West Virginia,
and his subsequent life in one of
the "teeming tenement houses" in
a Negro community in the Bronx,
NY.
Mr.. White writes that Lois Ad-
ans, fiencee of the six-foot soldier,
had just written these words in a
letter to him when she heard of
his death in action in Korea:
Darling, I don't want you to be
live coward. don't want you to be
any kind Of coward. But oh, God,
honey, 1 don't want you to be a
dead hero j.

EAGLES Move To Put In God We Trust
On All United States Postage Stamps

A move to place the inscription
"In God We Trust" on all United
States postage stamps is being
spearheaded nationally by the Fra
ternal Order of Eagles, it was an
nounced by Tom Croaff, Phoenix
attorney and president-elect of the
Osborn Aerie of the lodge.
NJ. L. Brown of Kansas City, Mo-,
administrative director of the
Eagles, first proposed the idea in
a letter to Senator Mike Mansfield,
who is also a member of the
Eagles. Senator Mansfield drew up
a bill, instructing the post office
department to place the inscription
on al stamps and presented it to
the Senate where it was referred
to the committee on post office
and civil service.
Salt River Valley Eagles have
passed resolutions backing the
plan and have forwarded copies
to Representative John Rhodes and
to Senators Barry Goldwater and
Cary Hayden, in Washington, DC.
1.-The idea of putting I'm God We
Trust on postage stamps" Croaff
said, "can help this country fight
against communism, which is
basically opposed to religion.

We're. expecting to see some ex-
ceptionally smart creations in
feed bag cotton" Blake declared.
"Our goal is a real feed bag style
show for garments and for mod
ern home and table decorations.
t We've had printed cotton feed bog
contests at past fairs, but never a
sweepstakes prize, OF any prize so
valuable, and the National Cotton
Council is cooperating with a
promise of the clevereSt and most

NEW YORK (GLOBAL)-Pass-
ing Thoughts on a Passing Cham
= piOn: Many can rise to the occa-
sion but few know when to sit
down. Jersey Joe Walcott did, and
raised one Of the ugliest contro-
versieS in boxing history. We give
him all the credit in the world for
coming out of the boxing business
with his health and wealth, but
we feel that a possible motivation
. for his sit-doWn after the Marciano
strike, was the attainment of
health and wealth. 1t wouldn't do
:. to get knocked about and spend
part of the $25O,00O on plastic
Rsurgery.
Pardon the sarcasm, but to some
extent Jersey Joe deserves it. In
the interest of justice, let's con-
slider his side of it: He claims to
be the victim of "the short count"
but a drunk always claims that
someone is moving the floor. The
three-dimensional films taken of
the fistic fiasco proved beyond
doubt that Jersey Joseph was sit
ting on his glory, on and well be-
yond the count of 10, which was
counted at the same rate of speed
: as in a previous fight in which
another gentleman was knocked
ecold. We can discount his explana-
ton as being a face-saving cup of
sour grape wine.
To me, his defeat was caused by
the fear he took into the ring with
him. He was frightened and over
cautious. He wasn't the Walcott
that won the title and the world S
admiration with his tenacity and
3. bulldog courage. He wasn't the
hungry fighter" who oNercame
:. the obstacle, Of his "thirty-nine-
somezedd; years: and battled his
j. Ways3tor the top in a young mans
p field -He-+Masnt the Walcott who
: was beating Marciano hands down
all the way with the exception
. of, the thirteenth round when he
lost his head and the consciousness
which he forgot to. bring into the
ring with him this last time, - {

| can say, Il told you So" In my
article of February 81, 1858 l said:
This writer has a feeling that Joe
Walcott could win this fight, but
the cards are stacked against him"
And in my column of April 4, /
said: Il went out on limb some
time ago and picked Jersey Joe
to be the first ex-heavyweight
champion to ever regain the crown.
Of course, made my own pro-
viso--that this would be the out
come if the bout lasted Is rounds"
Now there is ample proof that
this article and some of its vehe-
mence is justified by anticipation
and knowledge of the underlying
facts. If WaIcott had gone the dis
tance with Marciano, he would un-
doubtedly have won the decision.
We predicted that if he lost, he'd
lose in the early rounds. 1t proved
to be a sage prediction. don't
think he threw the fight, but a
combination of fear and indiffer-
ence to the outcome (since his
prize was guaranteeO left him in
a listless and even lazy state of
mind so that his reactions were
slowed down. / think he sincerely
meant to get up, but that his re-
flexes were retarded and his killer
instincts civilized by the $250,000
promised, win or lose.
Then again, consider this: The
sports world seems to run in cy-
cles. For some reason, the public
seems to have tired of Negro heavy
| weights dominating the scene for
SO many years. Possibly boxer
can sense this from the reaction
| of the crowds, attitudes of others,
colelmnists,. etc. Add to this Jersey
/ Joe's age, the feeling that winning
would be anticlimatic anyhow, $50
grand, fear of losing, and last but
not least, possible decision on
his, part that this would be his last
fight. anyway $50 why knock N.Y.
self out"
Nobody knows but Walcott and
his manager what the true story
| is. but venture to say that we
have properly diagnosed it. Until
a better explanation comes along,
I'll continue to- believe that Joe
effectively knocked himself out by
bringing into the ring with him
lless heart and more defeatism than
ever in the past. An old definition
of boxer is "The only person who
wakes up and finds himself rich. F."
You're rich Joe, but youth find
defeat bitter pill to swallow. Good
luck to you, fella, and we wish
you healthy and wealthy retire
ment, even though we don't quite
| approve of the burst of inglorious-
ness with which you ended your
hitherto magnificent career.
