Palladiun's 15Oth
Anniversary

This year is the 150th anniver-
sary of the discovery of palladium
by the British scientist, William
Hyde Wollaston, who isolated this
precious metal from native plati-
mum. Within a few years, he and
his business partner, Smithson Ten
nant, also discovered rhodium, irid-
ium and osmium. Of the six plati-
mum metals, only ruthenium
escaped their notice. These dis
coveries were an OutgrOWth of
Wollaston's successful effort to
produce malleable platinum for
commercial use.

Malenkov stated that he disposed
of his second-ranking Official be-
cause he sought to stir up hate
among nationalities, / belieev he
was uttering an untruth. However.
when the Premier of a great ma
ton takes, or appears to take a
firm stand against bigotry, leaders
of other nations will take notice.
Propaganda intelligently con-
ceived and carefully disseminated
can change the course of world his
tory in more than one way. If the
present Premier of Russia can
convince the world that he disposed
of his rival to create harmony
among nationalities,. he will be a
hero and people will follow him. Il
the propaganda is unsuccessful
and the world feels Malenkov iS
mad for power, they will turn On
him.

Straight Ahead

psychology alone, but it cannot be
denied that the person who is on
top has a certain feeling of. import
ance, and that the person who has
not achieved such a spot, often
thinks of it as some unattainable
dream. Then, when faced with an
opportunity to attain his goal, he
is often over-anxiouS and over
awed and cannot perform his best.
This seems to- be what happens
to Miss Gibson. She plays well, but
when facing the final test, she
"blows up" She plays badly, and
fumbles as she never does at any
other time. This is not to say that
she should come up and blast
every other opponent every time
she faces them. She is human. and
can be beaten. But there is some
thing about the championship
match that makes her look bad
when she loses. And this is not good
for her ego, either. Everybody
needs to win once in while just
for the sake of his own ego.
This same thing could be true
in many other areas of life. AS
we struggle toward some goal =
whether we seek full citizenship,
or personal gain of some sort, we
often find the last struggle the
hardest When we feel there are
certain doors closed to us, or GER
tain areas where we just can't
break in, that is the time to sum-
mon all our courage, call up all our
reserves, and fight as never before.
Instead, many times we may
knuckle under and rationalize by
saying it just wasn't in the cards.
But what we want doesn't come
easy because those who would
withhold it are not going to give it
up easily.
Personally, L would like to see
Miss Gibson play a champ that she
didn't know was champ, with
the spectators behind one-way
glass so that she couldn't know
she was being watched: I would
be willing to wager she would
come through with flying colors.
hope she overcomes whatever
block is in her way, for she de-
serves to wear a champions crown.

get more liberal in their Segrega-
ton policies because of Soviet
Press propaganda.
Before anyone disputes the logic
of this, he should consider some of
the results of unfavorable propa-
ganda on the lives of Negroes. Mis-
statements, half-truths, and mis-
representations have been used eff
fectively to keep Negroes as sec
ond-clasS citizens. Consider some of
the rubbish put out years ago by
enemies of fair play and decency
to handicap the Negroes progress.
They said Negroes were incapable
of acquiring knowledge as easily as
members of other races. They said
Negroes were lazy, dishonest, had
a more offensive body odor than
other people, and were content
with the inferior position they oc-
cupied in American life.
All informed people will admit
that these statements are untrue,
but all informed people will also
admit that the unfortunate posi-
ton in which Negroes find them
selves is a result of this adverse
propaganda, to a very great de-
gree. In the same way that un-
truths have created ill-will among
races, untruths can create har-
mony among them. When Premier

Bids Called For
New Fire Station

The Public Works Director will
receive bids at 2 p.m., August 5, for
construction of a new fire station
at oath Street and Roosevelt on
farmer State Hospital land trans
ferred to the City by the State
Legislature. Estimated cost is set
at about $64,000 including the
tslilding and fire fighting equip
naent. The station to be designated
No. II is expected to be ready for
service January 1, 1854. The sta
ton will house one engine COM
pany. Fire Station No. 10 will be
tss1ilt on the west side of the City
al a later date. Construction of the
new fire stations is part of the
Fire Department expansion pro-
gram undertaken with funds de-
rived from the $1,500,000 Fire De-
partment bond issue voted in 1948.
This program calls for the ulti-
mate construction of II fire sta
tons in accord with the growth of
the City through annexation. The
locations of the proposed and rec
commended stations are in accord
ance with the standards set by the
National Board of Fire UnderWrit-
erS\ \of the Pacific The construction
Of Fire Station No. II will bring
tn six the number that has been
built under the bond program since
1850. The new stations are 2, A, 4,
So, and II. Central Fire Station
NO. 1 has been completely remod-
eJed. Stations 6, 7 and 8 have been
renovated and new equipment
added.

Getting
Along
BY LAUREN WHITE

NEW YORK (G1ObaD : PrOpa-
ganda intelligently conceived and
carefully disseminated, can change
the course of world history. It. can
make heel out of a hero, and a
hero. out of a heel. Take the re-
cent occurrences in Russia.
Premier George M. Malenkov
disposed of Lavrenti P. ,Beria, his
nearest rival for power. This is an
old custom among dictators. The
very nature of a dictatorship
makes the ruthless crushing of riv-
ais a necessity. - -
Lenin defeated his opponents in
side the Party by debate; maneu-
yer, and frame-up.. He wasn't as
ruthless as Stain. but he used
whatever means were necessary to
keep himself in power. Stain sim
ply killed anyone who opposed his
power or policies. That was the
only way he knew to retain his
power. Now that Stain is dead and
Malenkov uneasily sits in the driv-
er's seat, many heads are certain
to fall.
Anyone with minimum of in
formation concerning the present
Premier of Russia knew he would
do a great deal of purging. Any
one who stood in his way to COM
plete power was going to get the
ak. However, Mr.. Malenkov says,
through the Soviet Press, that
Lavrenti P. Beria was disposed of
because he sought to stir up hate
among nationalities. -
This propaganda can change the
course of world history. Every hu-
man on this earth who has suffered
on account of race hate will bend
his ear to hear and focus his eyes
to see just what Mr.. Malenkov is
up to. If he can convince the
masses of people that he really is
trying to promote harmony among
all people, they will be sympathetic
toward his program.
The millions in China, India, AT
RIGA and every other country in
whihc people suffer from injustices
on account of nationality, will be
considering Mr.. Malenkov's pro-
gram seriously. Many far-reaching
effects can result from the propa-
ganda of Mr.. Malenkov. England S
colonial policy may be little more
humane on account of said propa-
ganda. The French may feel d
little more uneasy as they run
rough shod overt heir subjects.
Even Malan and his cohorts may

When is a champion not cham
pion? When he lacks a fighting
heart.
This would seem to describe AL
thea Gibson, the brilliant young
tennis star who, it seems, can walk
off with every honor but the
championship. Miss Gibson for sew
eral years now, has fought her
way up to the top spot, only to be
turned back by the defending
champion.
Was Miss Gibson turned back by
the superior performance of her
opponent? Is she not championship
material? What is the cause of her
inability to make the final hurdle.
The young star has been encour-
aged by a number of well known
sports figures, including Alice
Marble, all of whom feel that she
has the stuff to begin with. There
fore, it would seem she is cham
pionship material.
IT just could be, then, that she is
in awe of the holder of the title
whoeevr she might be, and faced
with the final test, she just can't
beat the champion. After all, a
champ in any field is fairly self
confident-a self confidence gained
by having achieved his position in
the first place. Having won his lau-
re1s, he hangs on to them for dear
life, and fights fiercely when his
prestige is threatened. This seems
to have some sort of psychological
effect on his opponent, and it takes
ala extremely capable performer to
dethr0ne him-Or one who for one
reason or another, is not over-awed
by his status as champion.
The story has been told of a
young rookie who came up to bat
in his first major league game and
blasted a home run off the pitcher
who had, up to that time, always
given his teammates a peck Of
trouble. His mates were impressed,
but he wasn't. He simply hadn't
beard the legend of the unbeatable
pitcher, and so he faced him with
out fear.
This is not to say that all prob
JcSns of this sort could be solved by

Because of their high strength,

degrees Fahrenheit or higher, de-

PRINCIPAL SYDNOR SAYS:

AS teacher, Miss J. X. Spencer was
kind and sympathetic to children always
trying to understand their many prob
lens and guiding them in the most de-
sirable manner.
AS staff member she was coopera-
tive, energetic and faithful. While faculty
chairman she did much to bring about a
oneness which meant a whole hearted
cooperative spirit. She saw that every
faculty member served on some commit
tee. She did much to cement the true
spirit of fine human relations among the
students, teachers and parents.
She will be greatly missed by the
students, teachers and parents of Harri-
son and we all wish for her many happy
and worthwhile years of productive &C
tive service to herself and Roanoke at

Public Officials Praise
Teachers Untiring Efforts

Miss Justina X. Spencer who resigned
teaching in the Harrison Elementary
School of our city is the youngest i'm q
family of ten. Her parents, Richard and
Lucinda Reed Spencer resided in the small
village of Spencer, Va. 1t was here that
that Miss Spencer received her rural
school training under the tutelage of her
brother, Prof. A. E. Spencer. Her high
school training was taken in the Pied
mont Christian Institute church school
supported by the "Women's Christian
Missionary Society,"" Miss Spencer con-
tinued her education at virginia Normal
and Industrial Institute located at Pc
tersburg, Va, and graduated receiving
the institutions diploma and the Normal
Professional Certificate-the highest grade
certificate required of Virginia teachers
at that time
When the State stepped up require
ments for first class teachers, Miss
Spencer returned to what is now "Vir-
ginia State College" and graduated again
receiving the B. S. Degree and the Col
legiate Professional Certificate - the
highest grade of certificate now required
of Virginia teachers. She has continued
her professional training by pursuing ex.
tension courses from Virginia State, Uni
versity of Virginia and Columbia Uni
versity. An estimate of the type of serv-
ice she has given in the school and to our
city during her 81 years in Roanoke the
writer feels is evidenced in the two testi-
nlonalS which follow:
When asked to what she attributed
her success as teacher she replied:
1. My happy home surroundings, 2.
My thorough knowledge of the subject
matter, 3. My knowledge of city and state
requirements, A. My vision of the teach
ing profession, 5. My tactful application
of methods, 6. My ability to adapt my
self to surroundings, z. My love for child
rem, 8. My friendliness and positiveness
with my pupils, 9. My respect for those
in authority, 10. Value for desirable
ends' rather than the pursuit of certain
methods.
When asked why she did not continue
teaching until she reached 65 her reply
was: THE nature of my illness will not
allow me to render the type of service I
feel teacher should give"
