1t Pays To Advertise In The
JACKSON ADVOCATE
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1954-05-01

Under the education equalization
program enacted by last years
special session, some of the five
members of the county board could
be elected from municipalities of
10000 or more. However, after
Mr.. Jefferson qualified, his oppon-
ents stated that the bill was dis
,criminatory in that it allowed city
men to regulate the county schools
whereas the county boards had no
say in the operation of municipal
separate school districts.
Under the bill signed on April
p, the five member board must be
elected from outside the municipal
separate school districts. This dis
qualities Mr.. jefferson and several
other white candidates, who would
rather lose their chances of cleo
ton than see Negro on the Board.
An amendment has extended the
time for qualification allowing new
candidates ample time to qualify.
Mr.. Jefferson and his support
lers plan to test the constitutional
atty of this bill as signed by Gov
ernor White.

Medico- chirurgicaI Society Endorses
Proposal That Doctors Contribute
500 To NAAcP Fighting Fund
For Freedom"

WASHINGTON, D. c., April %,
1954-At the regular meeting of
it's Board of Governors on April
20, 1854 t he Medico- Chirurgical
Society of the District of Column
bia endorsed the proposal of it's
president, DR.. w. Montague Cobb,
that every Negro doctor in the
United States contribute at least
800 to the Fighting Fund For
Freedom" DR.. Cobb first urged
this proposal in an address at the
42nd Annual Clinic of the John
A. Andrew Clinical Society, at
Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, on
April IA. He said, when the Amer
lean Medical Association elected
to oppose plan for national
health insurance put forward by
the President of the United States,
it levied an individual tax of $25
on it's members and accumulated
war chest reputed at over two and
a half million dollars which was
effectively used. The issue involved
was the merits of plan for pay
ing for medical care. This issue
was one on which reasonable men
might differ.
'The moral principle that medi-
cal facilities and care ought to be
available to the citizens of our
country on the basis of need with
out racial discrimination of any
kind is a principle on which rea-
sonable men may not differ. The
affirmative is the only position
tenable. 1t concerns a far higher
ground of advocacy than the pat
terms for financing medical care.
1t might be assumed, therefore,
that to Negro doctors especially,
this moral principle would have an
Importance at least four times
greater and that these physicians
would be willing voluntarily to
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1954-05-01

assess themselves at least four
times as much as the American
Medical Association assessed it's
members in a lesser cause. Thus
where ANA members bore a levy
of $25 to fight national health in
surance, Negro physicians would
now eagerly contribute at least
500 each to Danish discrimination
from health areas.
at happens that a well-proved
organization exists, dedicated to
the elimination of racial discrimi-
nation in all areas. including those
of medicine. 1t further happens
that this organization, the Nation
al Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, in taking
stock of the encouraging progress
in recent years, has promulgated
the brilliant concept that the coun-
try can go the whole rest of the
way by 1868, the centennial year
of the Emancipation Proclama-
ton. To this end the NAACP, at
the instance of the distinguished
chairman of its Board of Direc-
tors, DR.. Claiming H. Tobias, has
established its Fighting Fund for
Freedom" and has invited contrib
utors from all walks of life. This
organization is already equipped
and has the know-how to deal with
the problems which confront the
minority profession, working in
active cooperation with that pro-
fession. What could be more inspir-
ing than for every Negro doctor
straightway to contribute at least
the sum of $4,000 to the NAACP's
Fighting Fund for Freedom. One
can think of no more effective
means to get the job done that we
all want done and Of nothing bet
ter calculated to gain the coopera-
tion and support of the entire pub

Alpha Fraternity recently held its
Annual Education for Citizenship
Program at Jackson College. Mr..
Walter Washington, Principal of

society.
He said that the primary re-
sponsibility of all Greek letter or
CARNATIONS is the enlightening of
the human mind for human ser
vice. He called upon the members
of Alpha Kappa Mu, an honorary
scholarship society at Jackson Col
lege, to translate their superior
scholarship into superior leader
ship.
The entire student body was
moved as we'll as challenged by the

The bill permitting certain can

Vicksburg.
On March 81, 1854, Mr.. Jeffer-

qualify with the Warren County
Election Committee for the May
election of the Warren County
Board of Education. An announce
ment stating this fact appeared in
the local papers on April l, 1854
and created a furore in this his

to qualify, April 3, 1854, only one
candidate qualified to oppose Mr..
