Crippled Children S
Camp Closes !.
Successful Season
Z !. "A, 80;

A most successful seasonal, sum
mer camps for crippIed$children
under the sponsorship of the Mis-
sissippi Society for Crippled Chill
dren and Adults has just come to a
close. Near $50 children, white and
colored, from more than so coun-
ties, had had the time of their
lives in five camps held at con-
venient locations over the state.
These children have had fun
filled schedule that began early
and didn't stop until long after
dark. They swan, they danced,
they played soft ball, volley ball,
darts, and archery. The crafts
groups under trained supervision
turned out some work that looked
almost professionally done.
The towns near the camps have
been most generous in the enter
tainment for the children. Water
melon cuttings, picture show par
ties, Weiner roasts, boat trips, on
the lakes, and even a ride in "a
duck"-this provided by an Am
erican Legion Post.
The religious side of their lives
was not neglected, as devotionals
were held each morning and even
ing at the camps, and the children
and staff were guests of a local
church for the Sunday services.
Many of these children have at
tended camp every summer for the
five years the camps have been in
operation. For some this is their
last year, as they. have passed the
age limit of sixteen. For some it
was their first camp experience,
as the Society this year sponsored
the first camp for colored crippled
children ever held in Mississippi.
1t was most successful in every
way.
The children who attended camp
from Kinds County were: Frances
Moore, ellis Sykes, Robert Dia-
mond, Vivain Ann Topp, Helen
Anderson, John Bayne, Curtis Tar

Army Reserves
Go On Active Duty

Three Jackson Army Reserve
men will go on active duty for two
weeks this month in an effort to
increase Reserve participation a
mong obligated Reserve members
in the area.
They are MISgt. Thomas w.
McGough of POI Hillsdale, SIC
Charles T. Ellington of POT Hous-
ton Street, and Sgt. Ernest l..
Cockrell, Negro, of 3418 Revels
Ave.
They will report for duty Tues
day and remain on active duty un-
til September %.
These men, all active Army re-
servists, are serving as Reserve

H. Craig, Chief of the Mississippi
Military District.
Master Sergeant McGough and
SIC Ellington are members of the
346th Infantry Regiment while Sgt.
Cockrell is assigned to the 885th
Quartermaster Parts Company in
Jackson.
These men will spend two weeks
contracting obligated reservists in
the Jackson area who are not as
signed to active units urging them
to enter Ready Reserve unit.
At the present several units in
the Jackson area, including part
OF the 346th Infantry Regiment,
are far under authorized person
mel strength.
Colonel Craig said this applies
especially to enlisted men strength,
not only in the Jackson area, but
Throughout the state.

Charge AtSoo

BEsHs0IT, Sept. = Gov. G..
Mennen Williams, urged by the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People to
help to end discrimination against
Negro airmen stationed in Sault
Sainte Marie, Mich, acknowledged
recently that the local community
had been remiss in dealing with
the problem.
The association in urging the
Michigan Governor to take remed-
ial steps, had quoted a story in
THE NEW YORK TIMES Of last
Sunday, which reported that Negro
airmen assigned to a radar site
and an interceptor squadron guard
ing the 500 locks were being de-
MED service in restaurants, barber
shops and taverns.
Governor Williams said he knew
nothing Of the situation until his
attention had been called to the
story, and added:
eve have made some prelimi.
nary inquiries to determine what
the problem is at the 500. These
inquiries indicate that there are
no complaints of violation Of the
Michigan Civil Rights Statute on
record with local authorities.
"Secondly, it appears that there
is a real difficulty which apparent
ly arises because there have been
no affirmative local efforts to make
the Negro service men feel at
home in the community they are
defending. That certainly ought
to be corrected"

The school was operated by the
Disciples of Christ of the Associa-

ed 70 years ago, the school offered
high school and junior college level
work.
DR.. Lee Pierce, pastor of the
First Christian church of Jackson,
said several proposals for the use
of campus and buildings at the
Institute have been made but no
final decision had been made.
He said that one proposal was
that the facilities be used to pro-
vide better educational opportuni-
ties for exceptional Negroes.
The program would be Jointly
sponsored by the Disciples of
Christ and the Congregational
Christian churches, sponsors of
Tougaloo College for Negroes. DR..
Pierce said the Edwards school
might be used as an extension CEN
ter for the new program. 1t would
be administered from Tougaloo.
He said that no definite plans
had been made as they want to be
sure they're making the best pos
sible use of building and money
before final action is taken.

The Republican Party Returns
Tradition

From every direction comes the voice of Negro Re-
pubicans praSing the Eisenhower Administration

party that the appointment of few Negroes to
some high Sounding jobs has been announced The Negro
Republicans have become especially noisy the ap
pontment of Louis B. Toomer Register of the United
States Treasury Here is indeed return of Republican
Tradition.
Up until the Democratic Administrations of Frank
lin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman which set the
ample of appointing Negroes to high and responsible
positions in the Government it traditional of the
Republican Party to make the appointment-A
Negro Register of the Treasuryand while pointing at
him and directing the eyes of all Negroes to see while
they thus engaged in looking, for nearly eighty
years did nothing to advance the Negro towards the
freedom proclaimed by Lincoln whom they claim as the
patron Saint of the Republican Party mainly to catch
the unwary Negro vote.
In the appointments Of Negroes to high places now
being made by the Eisenhower Administration, looking
back at eighty years of Republican Party History in
dealing with the Negro the Republican party is not
turning to tradition but by the very force of circum
stances, distinguished from desire, is following the
example already set by the Democratic Party. y.

The Haitian sunlight is now
burning like an incandescent car
bon arc, you seek refuge, SO you
stroll into Belle Creole, (the only
soda fountain in town. for a cool
drink. You murmur out something
in poor Creole to the waitress that
you want to try some frozen ice or
something, she giggles, for she
doesn't understand you. But the
old finger-pointing system works to
the amazement of everyone in the
store. Haiti is drenched in rum
and poetry, and music. The rum
is the best in the West Indies, the
poetry is not bad, and the music is
exciting. You drop into a bookstore
and browse through some French
classics and manuals on the art
of love.
You finally settle upon volume
of verse by one of the popular
Haitian poets-Jacques Roumain.
You draw the price from filthy,
wrinkled bank-notes and torment
ing little coins to keep you busy,
but you have learned the hard way
of knowing the correct amount of
Haitian currency. Perhaps you
are tere ed in voodoo
like most tourists.) 1t is real
great, moving cosmic force in the
lives of Haitians. 1t is much more
than few silly childish words as
some would make it seem. Voodoo,
a transplanted complex of West
African cults and mixture of
Spanish, Indian, and Catholic ele-
ments, has proved source of COM
fort and hope for Haitians, even
IN the darkest days. 1t is generally
known that most Haitians believe
in voodoo many of the elite, and
presidents from Christophe to the
late eX-exiled President Estime. 1t
is said that Estime's uncle was a
voodoo priest and also high of
fetal in the government. When the
time came for rebellion, it needed
strong foundation of religion to
raise the oppressed slaves from
their apathy and to unite them in
the fight for freedom.
The first rulers of freedom real
lied that voodoo priests were the
real masters of the island. The
catholic priests inspired no fear,
used no magical words, could not
take another mans life, heal the
sick, comfort the love-lorn or de-
mand vegeance. The voodoo priest
is still patriarch and doctor, and
comforter to many Haitians. Woo
doc is not dead in Haiti, it is quite
alive and active.
You take a trip to Cap Haitian
to see the Citadel and Sans Souci.
Both are gigantic architectural &C.
complishments beyond belief. How
could man build such tremen-
dous fortress in the heart of the
jungle, on slippery, peak of pre-
ciptous mountain. This was su-
perhuman undertaking that would

the most remarkable military de-
Tense minds that ever lived.
In Haiti, the French and African
elements have not remained sep
crate. They have produced some
thing new-some new and exciting,
and it is in continual motion, like
bubbles from an Alka-Seltzer tab
let, foaming, fusing, fanciful and
fantastic. This gives life in Haiti
unending interest. Jamaica on the
other hand reveals life entirely diff
ferent. There is no sense of Ma
tionality in Jamaica. The white
population (Which is about two
per cent? owns everything worth
owning, considers itself British.
The Jamaican Negro has no dis
tinct language or culture, or in
tellectual tradition like the Haitian.
Jamaicians have all the American
Negroes sense of injustice without
his flaring hope or his economic
power. They neither have the
freedom of the Haitian nationalist
of the future of the American
Negro. The local intelligentsia fear
that they are in for courses in
socialism.
On your return to Haiti you
spend the evening at the Interna-
tional Casino, where the elite and
the tourist lose their shirts at the
roulette wheel.

American cigarettes are fifty cents
a pack 1t is late morning and
already the solid walls of the tropi-
cal heat are holding you in her
molten arms. You reflect that most
Haitians do not aspire to be great
conquorors like most Americans; he
surrenders himself Internationally
to the laws of nature and the strict
social levels. You know now that
Haiti is not the perfect state,
neither is America eve assassi-
mated a few presidents too, re-

to be home again.
Democracy, our way of life is
certainly not perfect, it is a blue
print by which we hope to obtain
our aims. string along with it..
Yet you know now that you will re-
turn to Haiti, your Haiti, the land
of black mems dreams, far from
the surging crowds, the gin-soaked
corners, and danger signals. You
raise your eyes to the hills the
everlasting hills, the source of Hal
tan comfort. You think you hear a
drum, and you might have, for
drums will always play in Haiti,
today as yesterday, tomorrow as
today. 1t is then that you hear a
tiny voice behind and saying quite
earnestly: mister GIMME me a

Guard Your
Children

DR.. R. Gerald Rice of the
Massachusetts Department of
Public Health, offered the fol-
lowing suggestions to mothers
sending their children to school
for the first time!
1. See that youngsters are
protected against smallpox,
diphtheria, Whooping cough, and
lockjaw. The immunization your
child received as an infant may
have worn off" or perhaps you
may have neglected to have re-
enforcing booster shots. Remem-
Der that in the classroom and
on the playground, close contact
of children greatly increases
their risk of exposure to COM
municable diseases.
2. Get your youngsters up
early enough to eat a hearty
breakfast without rushing. One
out Of four children fails to eat
a sufficiently nourishing break
fast to get him through the
mornings activities.
8. If a hot lunch isn't avail
able at school, pack an attrac-
tive, well-balanced meal.
4. Don't expect tots to know
the dangers of crossing busy
streets and careless motorists.
Walk with your children over
the route to school beforehand;
teach them how to cross streets
heavy with traffic.
