Added Bus
Services At
State Vocational
College

Last year Mississippi State Vo-
cational College launched a new
experiment in public higher educa-
ton by instituting bus service to
various communities in the Delta
Area. The college operated two
lines (D from Greenville to 1tts
Bena via Leland, Indianola and
Moorhead (2) Lexington to 1tta
Bena via Tchula, Cruger, Sidon and
Greenwood. These buses were
operated at a cost of only $500
per month per student. Some 10
regular students commuted daily
and SO in-service teachers commut-
ed on Saturday. This project was
an overwhelming success.
In it's attempt to serve all the
people of the Delta Area, the col
lege will add two additional buses
effective September 6, 1854. Bus
No. will operate from Shelby.
Mound Bayou, Merigold, Cleveland,
Doddsville, Blaine, Ruleville to the
college. Bus No. 4 will run from
Louise, Belzoni, Swiftown, Morgan
City, Itta Bena to the college. In
addition Bus No. 2 will begin at
Richland school instead Of Lexing-
ton. The bus fee this year will be
$500 per month. Through this
service many persons will be able
to obtain a college education at q
nominal cost. By riding the bus
a person may attend Mississippi
Vocational College for $160.5O per
year. For additional information

No Back Door To The Governors
Office

On great number of occasions since attended
meeting in the office of the Governor few days ago
with small group of responsible Negro citizens the
Negro citizens of the state after vast assortment of
distorted press radio and teevison reports regarding
the meeting have been plaugng themselves with the
question why would such group of Negroes leave the
Governors office by the black door"
There being back door, to the Governors office,
knows who has took good look at the
New State Capitol Building in Jackson this question: the
greatest of the distortions regarding the meeting brings
us to central theme.
That such statement in regard to the Negro citi-
zens who attended the meeting made in the press
by radio and televsion, in the light of the fact that
there is back door, to the Governors office reveals
of the worst faults in NegroWhte relations in the
state which is the idea that matter how intelligent
Negro may be, and matter what his actual and
possible contribution to the betterment of the state
when he is being written talked about publicly he
must be made to fit certain stereotype suitable to the
romanticism of the accommodating and humble
want of the status quo.
There is thing about which the White leaders
of the state be and that long the able
and responsible Negro citizens of the state in their eff
forts to help work out its problems in cooperation with
White people made the objects of rcule in the
back door, statement, the of Negroes in the
state will continue to look for guidance from those oft
referred to outside influences
1t might also be added that the efforts made to make
the Negroes of the state look funny also makes the
White people of the state look funny.

everbody's been talking bout that
subject, and when l heard 'em
using the word innergrashun /
kept my ears cooked while l was
eating my fish and drinking my

that might be said on that weighty

Aine Haggar's Chillun down here
in the Ole Magnolia thinks about
:innergrashun and since hadn't

'mongst members of the tribe as
they gather along the Ole Avenue
I'd been trying lack everybody else
to figure 'em out Well, they
kept on talkin while | ct my fish

that there was some 'mongst 'em
who had been reading what folks
have been writing in the news
papers, and talking bout over the
radio and television which made
them not what you would call iggi-
rant of the subject matter at hand.
For 10 these many years I've been
listening to the members of the
tribe of Haggar and no matter
how weighty the subject they al
ways come up with something
that turns out to be the very depth
of wisdom and was expecting the
same thing to happen on the sub
ject of innergrashun :. One thing
that come to me was that this
subject of innergrashun is some
thing that the whole tribe is think

reason for my saying this is be-
cause while the subject was under
discussion the crowd kept gittin
bigger and bigger, and everybody
added their comment to the dis
cussion and discussions of such
weighty matter never ends until
somebody comes up with what may
be called the clincher, and here's
the clincher that brought the dis
cussion of the subject of innergra-

weakness seems never to Wane.
Mans vaues are still equated with
"things" rather than persons. Race
only accentuates the problem.
The presumptive attitude of the
white men that his cultural pat
terms are the only valid ones in the
world today is reflected in the
justification of the law requiring
forced labor. 1t is referred to as
an essential element in the civiliz-
ing process. BY whose standards?
Has the African indicated a desire
to change his own culture which
is an old one for that of the Euro
pean whose whole existence is COM
paratively short? Thoughtful per-
sons today cannot but challenge the
mentality of the average western
er when the latter acts in such a
way to gather unto himself all the
virtues of correct living.
Though Portugal does not identi-
fly itself with the so-called demo
cratic" nations of the world, it is
identified with those forces cate
gorically aligned against interna-
tional Communism. These nations
would do we'll to learn that the
world is no longer tricked by the
skillful use of words. Freedom and
the right of self-determination for
peoples must be enjoyed by all.
Ideals and concepts are universal;
they cannot be twisted out of their
real contest.
The phrase that NEGRO fiddles
while Rome burned" might have
more than literal meaning. 1t
could mean the disintegration of
the very foundations of political
institutions in the western world
will result from our own ineptness
and moral dishonesty.
A nation needs to have more DO
tent motive than enlightened self
interest to realize that mans un-
quenchable thirst for freedom in
the goth century will not be SUD-
pressed. There is much more money
to be made from meeting the ma
terial needs of rising nations than
by trying to maintain the out
NODDED colonial economy Of the
past.

Male Africans Must
Work Six Months OF
Each Year For
Portuguese In
Mozambique
South Africans Seek
To Steal This Valuable
Manpower For Sugar
Plantations and Mines
MAU MAU INSURRECTION
NOT FAR AWAY

NOl All "A w "A
Forced labor still exists in the
Portuguese colony of Mozambique
in Southeast Africa, only a few
hundred miles from Kenya, the
Mau Mau instruction against
white settlers. Every able-bodied
black male in this colony is forced
to work six months each year un-
less he can prove that he has al
ready put in the amount of work
under the law, according to the
article by Lawrence c. Burr for
AMP.
Where Livingstone initiated his
famous campaign against slavery
in the 10Th century, the manpower
of the black is the most sought
after commodity in the Zambesi
century. Men found guilty of
crimes are shipped away to the
hated sugar plantations on the isle
of Sac Tome, in the Gulf of
Guianea, on the African west coast,
often to return with broken health
as their only reward.
Foreign competition for this
much-desired manpower has crop
ped up. South Africa and the Rho
desia seek these men legally and
illegally to work their rich mines
and farmlands. By what means
they are obtained is unimportant;
the only concern is that they are
gotten and exploited as long as pos
sible.
The laws under which the Afri-
cans are forced to work half year
are defended by the Portuguese
government as IAN ESSENTIAL element
in the civilizing process" They be-
lieve this to be the best way to give
responsibility. Heavy pressure is
put on government administrators
who decide whether or not man
is to be shipped away for work.
One of the church bishops calls
attention to the evils of separating
native" families but fail to reg
lister his protest against the i'm
j moral practice of forcing men to
work against their will. The old
Arab slave hunters in the early
days used to refer to the trade as
"blacy ivory" and did everything
possible to exploit the muscular
strength of less fortunate men.
The Portuguese justify this evil
practice by pointing out that in
Mozambique women till the crops
while the men sit idly by watching
The only real work that seems to
be involved in this inhuman prac.
tice is the attitude of black men
returning from the mines of South
Africa, and the Rhodesias. Such
ideals as race hatred, expulsion OF
the white men from Africa, and q
| fuzzy awareness of Communism
are among the more disturbing
elements of such experiences
Otherwise, no one seems to be toe
concerned about the future of the
Africans.
How one section of the popula.
ton continue to enjoy the dubious
fruits of these malpractices lies

about the state playing both sides
of the race issue, is running out.
He was down on the coast and in
Natchez last week working his
