Anyhow, by the time I came to

theatre was really in my blood.
It wasn't an easy life, let me tell
you, But I was lucky - Maurice
Schwartz asked me to join his
repertory theatre, and I had
chance to play many different
parts. Maybe you know some of
the plays = "Yoshe Kalb," "Kid-
dush Hashem," God, Man and
Devil" Wonderful shows.
Well. one thing led to another.

went to California with my actor

And back I did come, a few

Good That was Joe Davidson

Where was I? Oh, yes, back in

Fairbanks Winter Carnival
For Miss Muriel Hagberg
FAIRBANKS

FAIRBANKS - Pretty M s
Muriel Hagberg, daughter of a
pioneer family, will be sponsored
this year in the annual queen
contest by Wien Alaska Airlines,
another pioneer, in Alaska avia-
ton.
Muriel was born on February
Is, 1885 in Haycock. With her
parents, three brothers and two
sisters she came to Fairbanks ten
years ago and last year graduated
from Fairbanks High School.
The tall, lovely girl was sell
ected by her classmates last year
to reign as Senior Queen of the
school. She also worked on the
staff of the Cache, yearbook for
FHS, aod Paystreak, the school
paper.
MuriePs sisters and brothers all
reside in the territory. Laura, her
oldest sister, was a princess in the
Winter Carnival in 1850, while
her mother, Mrs. Dallas Wright,
won trip several years ago
around the United States in a
Fairbanks contest for the most
popular waitress. The candidates
grandfather, Jack Beltz, will be
remembered by many old timers,
coming to the territory in 1897
for the gold rush.
Muriel would like to attend
business school, taking tipping,
shorthand and brush-up courses.

what she would probably do.

''She Just Went to Sleep
Special to the Nome Nugget

About 1878 a little girl was
born at Unalakleet, soon to be
known by the name Null LHAY
KOO NEG RUK. At the age of
eight or nine she was taken into
the Evangelical Mission Home at
Unalakleet, where she had her
schooling and training, and where
she was married to Stephen Ivan
off, who was also in the Home.
Koo Neg ruk became. a real
mother in Israeli to both White
and Native She was a most kind
ly soul. She loved to help the
poor, even to giving them her
own garments.
AS young couple, Stephan and
his wife were out in villages,
teaching and helping their own
people. They were blessed with
four sons and one daughter. She
was most persistent that their
children receive an education.
The eldest son and the daughter
are today teachers to their own
people. The other children have
passed on during the years.
But the kindly Christian mother
was also a Carry Nation. She
fought against intoxicants, tobac-
co and gambling. When the Ivan
offs ran a roadhouse and white
travellers brought whiskey she
was up in arms, and many a
bottle, contents and all, she threw
in the river. Good would it be
for the Eskimos if the mothers
now would follow her example
If we had a few mothers like
Koo-Neg-Ruk in all our villages,
the outlook would be more hope
full for the Native race
Mrs. Stephan Ivanoff ''just
went to sleep" at $40 pm, jan
uary 10, 1853 at Unalakleet, where
her body was laid to rest. A bless
ed day soon she shall arise in a
full share in the First Resurrec-
ton.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Seattle acknowledgement

It has often been said Of Abraham Lincoln, and
truly So that his great faith America and its people
his most distinguishing characteristic and that it's
source was his utter conviction that our country had
come into being and was fulfilling its destiny as a
matter Of Gods intention and purpose.
AS the years have passed since his DEATH another
and perhaps greater characteristic OF Mr. Lincoln
has gained universal recognition and understanding
and appreciation.
This his ability, first in his own lifetime and
in other Americans and indeed in thoughtful people
the world faith in America as great as his own
People sense this characteristic Of Abraham Lin
coin when they have the coming into his presence
any Of may do and as millions of Americans are
constantly doing by entering the shrines dedicated to
his memory.
At these hallowed Places a hushed and reverential
attitude without awarenesS to all VISITORS even
the most casual, as in place Of worship.
Many Americans come casually and even callous-
y into the presence of Abraham Lincoln in this man
ner, but none remain
Hurryng people pause and stand, and shouting
people become suddenly silent Children are trans
fixed and young and old alike who would be thought
less and needless in almost any other circumstances
gaze in wonder upon the face called honnely but
now the symbol Of the most beautiful things in the
hearts and souls of all mankind
No or child with the American
faith of Abraham Lincoln his heritage stands
in the silent but living presence of Mr. Lincoln without
dedication anew to that faith.
This is what distinguishes Mr.. Lincoln in our
time and for all time to come and it makes his name
blessed before all the of the earth

Douglas Has Good
Chance For Election

ord at Southern was another
demonstration of leadership
qualifications. President of his
class and a fore-runner in many
of the university campus activi-
ties, Douglas easily acquired
teaching position in the state
upon graduation.
Teaching did not offer the
type of advancement to satisfy
his qualifications and ambitions,
so he entered the insurance field
as an agent for the Atlanta Life
Insurance Co. in Dallas, Texas.
This was in 1941.
In a few months he was ele-
waited to a district supervisor and
when the Atlanta Life wanted a
man who could build the Atlanta
Life'S interest in Florida, they
chose young Douglas. He came to
Florida as a state special agent
and was shortly promoted to man
ager of the Miami district.
Inserting himself in the Miami
community, gaining friends by his
pleasing personality, and demand
ing respect for his leadership
qualifications, he was drafted to
run for post on the Dade Coun-
ty School Board in 1850, and
polled more votes than any Negro
who has run for public office in
the State of Florida.
He was elected Republican
delegate to the National Conven-
ton on statewide ticket in I948.
and today is precinct committee
man for precinct 81 of the Dade
County Executive committee of
the Republican party.
Douglas is past president of

COURT DENIES
PLEA, BROTHERS
FACE DEATH

WASHINGTON - CAMP -
The United States Supreme court
last week refused to grant a writ
of certiorori to Bonnie Daniels
and Lloyd Ray Daniels who were
convicted of the murder of Ben
famine O'Neal and senteced to
death by the Superior court OF
Pitt County, NC. in 1949.
This is the third time the pc
titioners have asked the high
court to urge the state supreme
court to grant them a new trial
on the grounds that their consti-
tutional rights had been denied.
They claimed that racial dis
ccimination had been practiced In

and the trial jury deciding the

David A. Douglas, Miami dis
trict manager of the Atlanta Life
Insurance company, is a candi-
date for trustee of the Dade
County School Board representing
District Four in the special cleo
ton to be held Tuesday, Nov. 3.
With 43 White candidates and
Douglas the lone Negro in the
race, chances seem bright if the
Negro vote can be gotten out A
special election never draws a
big vote especially when no big
offices or issues are at stake. With
the White vote divided 43 differ
ents ways, 20 percent of the esti-
mated 1900 Negro voters should
be able to sweep Douglas into Of
flee.
The office is not Salaried one
nor is it very powerful in influ-
ence. But winning an election OF
this kind can do a lot in helping
the Negro continue his battle for
equal rights along Slde MS eau
caSian brother.
BACKGROUND

David, held high ambitions as a
youngster, according to his moth

Upon finishing high school in
Lake Charles, he entered South

TOP GAMES

will highlight the Oct. 81 week
end activities on the football
front. In the No. l tilt, North
Carolina college will play host to
mighty Tennessee State, and in
the No 2 battle Morgan will be
at home to AIT.
For the NCC Eagles, homecom-
ing does not look too promising
with mighty Tennessee seeking to
establish a claim as the nations
leading team. The Eagles are
Scrappy outfit, but the visitors
have too much power.
For the revitalized Morgan
Bears it will be a crucial game
for the second straight week. AS
usual AIT has a good, strong
team, but the Aggies do not have
what it takes to win. 1t looks like
a happy day for the Morgan
Alumni.
Two other homecoming tits
also are scheduled for the week
end - Knoxville at home to Phi
lander Smith and Virginia host
to Virginia Union. Philander
Smith will be upset by Knoxville
in a battle of weak teams, and
Virginia State will win in
struggle for "Old Mobinion" SUI
periority. In another homecoming
battle Florida MI will take
close one from Worries.
Other significant battles will pit
Florida ARM against Bethune-
Goodman and Xavier at Texas
Southern. Florida ARM, eager for
national honors, will be out for
revenge and should avenge last
years loss to Bethune, and Texas
Southern will barely edge Xavier
in a toSSup brawl.

already conceded that the most

rookie with the most pressure on
him since Jackie Robinson came

Most sports experts agree that
on Vic's hitting they have no
doubt since he had a .349 aver
age at Kansas City. But the big
question is his fielding ability and
