DR.. Boyd In Fiery Discourse
AT King Of Clubs Forum
BY Elliott ]. Pieze

"In my opinion, Negroes are
simply deceiving themselves, if
they expect any worthwhile civil
rights legislation from Congress.
no matter what party is in power.
hope I'm wrong, but I don't
think I am" The foregoing was
one of the many fiery statements
made by DR.. William M. Boyd,
professor of political science, At
lanta University, Atlanta, Ga,
Sunday afternoon at st. Johns
Baptist Church. The third in the
current series of weekly forums,
sponsored by the King of Clubs
was the very fitting occasion. A
near capacity house was present
to hear the talented speaker. Mas
terful and very comprehensive
from beginning to end may be
very appropriately applied in des-
cribing the speech.
Highly qualified for the as
signment both by his training and
extensive travels, DR.. Boyd Sc
lected the very timely subject:
"The Recent Trends in Human
Rights" as his topic of the day.
Early in his discourse, the
Doctor pointed out that To-day
conditions have changed tremen-
dously from what they were ten
years ago." He added further,
Mankind is a peculiar animal
and those in the saddle never
will be removed by high sound
ing words"
The speaker quoted Florida's
Superintendent of Education,
Thomas D. Bailey on the ques-'
ton of separate but equal educa-
tional facilities for Negro child
rem of this state, emphasizing the
recent statement by Bailey that
the facilities "wil soon be equal
for all students" in this state -
but expressed his doubts on this
matter. unless and until Negroes
become more active and more
conscious with the power OF the
ballot.
Citing the US. Supreme Court
decision in the restricted coven-
ant case, DR.. Boyd touched upon
the bombing case at Miamis Car
yer Village, and advised that II
we have the courage and tortl-
tude to pay our money, sign on
the dotted line, and stick 1t OUT
no law in the land can force us 70
move. He criticized the many
"do nothing Negroes" for their
complacency, and strongly urged
that we as a race, must become
qualified, must register and vote
in every election and must meet
all competitions if we want 70
become first class citizens.
Admitting that Communism IS
not good for the American Ne
gro, the Doctor explained mat
there's nothing about Commun-
ism that cannot be effectively
handled, if those who profess
Christianity and Democracy real
ly want to do so.
Shortly before closing DR.. Boyd
said: 1--WE as leaders, must be
willing to serve and lead, even
at a personal sacrifice, If we are
to reach our goal. There can be
no compromise of any kind" The
Doctor closed his address very
dramatically by reading h e
thought provoking poem, These
Things I Believe"
DR.. Bold answered very effec-
lively a series of questions from
the large and most appreclatlve
audience.
Music for the occasion was fur
nished by the Dorsey High Chorus
under the direction Of Miss joel
Scott. Rev. Thedford Johnson,
pastor of st. John, offered the In
vocation and Forrest Reynolds

WEAVER SAYS . .
ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY

A6OOI oONtNG oGSON''
&>~~~~~SSSSS%
It's a fact! People are becoming
more and more Social Security
conscious. This fact was brought
to my attention recently in a
rather unexpected way. / was
browsing through a downtown
department store, doing a little
shopping when suddenly I found
myself completely hemmed in by
a group of ladies at one end of
the hosiery counter. All the ladies
seemed to be interested in one
particular gift package of hosiery,
displayed beneath sign which
read:
Three Hose for the price of one;
Pair plus Spare for Social Secur-
ity"
Now I know Social Security
means a lot of different things to
a lot of different people, and !
have no doubt that this hosiery
bonus will some day provide
some Of these ladies with an add
ed sense of social" security. But
Il hope you ladies realize when
you multiply your social security
account numbers, you stand a
good chance of dividing your
future benefits.
One of the greatest difficulties
experienced by my office in our
claims work Is with "multiule"
numbers. Many people lose sight
of the fact that all benefit paw
ments are based upon wages
credited to their account. They
sometimes obtain several differ
ent numbers and quite often keep
absolutely no record Of these
| numbers.
Last month a young widow
! came to nv office and brought
her husbands social security card
with her. A check Of the records
showed that he had worked un-
der that number only short time
several years prior to his death.
It was necessary for us to tell
her that there would be no bene-
fits payable as his record indicat-
ed he had not worked long
| enough to be insured. However,
we suggested that she try to OBJ
.ain the names Of his different
employers if she believed his
record was incomplete. Fortu-
,ately, she was able to do this.
She went home and talked it over
With her father-in-law and to-
gether they were able TO recall
'our or five firms for whom he
had worked. My office got in
ouch with these firms and dis
covered he had worked two en-
.irely different social security ac-
count numbers. The wage record
# all these numbers were as
sembled and we found that ne
actually was fully insured. Month
" benefits Of 1880 are now be-
| ing paid to his widow for herself
and her child.
She. would have received moth
ing as matters first stood but as
4 is she may receive between
now and the time the child be-
-omes 10 some $4,000.
Now this story had a happy
ending. but the point / want to
make Is that this mans careless
ness placed his wife and child In
jeopardy.
So ladies, check up In your
husband II he has any spare"
social security account numbers
lying around the house, see that
| re brings them in right away and
,sk us to consolidate his account.
