Now that the spotlight of the campaign is turned

appointed president of the National
Association for the Advancement
of White People (NAAWP) re-
suited in the scheduling of jury
trial to be held on Jan. 5.
The charge against Bowles grew
out of an affray which took place
a week earlier in the lobby of the
building where the NAAWP's
headquarters is located, when the
white supremist attacked Roscoe
v. Cooper, a colored mailman.
Cooper claimed that Bowles at
tackled him while he was on duty
collecting mail in the building and
hit and kicked him.
Bowles admitted that he hit
Cooper for allegedly calling Mrs.
Bowles "a liar" but denied kicking
him.
The trouble got started when
Mrs. Bowles claims to have noticed
the mailman sorting their mail
from other mail picked up in the
building. When she questioned
him about it Cooper stated that
he had been ordered to do so be-
cause the post offices in other
cities had complained that mail
coming from Bowles had beer
short Of necessary postage.

Jazz mourns
Passing Of Gran
Hot Lips Page

New York-The sudden death of
| Hot Lips Page this weekend
stunned the music world. 1t es-
peclally stunned true jazz fans
for this quiet, unassuming man was
one of the most talented. The men
who worked with him called him
the greatest trumpet player ever"
And yet he never quite made the
top.
Page was more of pioneer. One
of the first Negroes to be regularly
employed by white jazz orchestra,
he trailblazed before the rest as
Lionel Hampton in the '30s.
He knew he had the talent. His
family however, complained he was
too good hearted without that dash
of prodding to get to the top no
matter the cost. He was forever
anxious to help young folks and
would spend hours giving them ad-
vice and listening to their prob
lens.
His Edgeconbe Ave. apartment
was a haven for them. When they
took up too much of his time, he
would just shrug it off saying,
! "Some- body's got to look after
the future generation of musi-
clans"
Everybody in show business ex-
pected that one day Oran "Hot
Lips" Page would get his just re-
ward and make the big money his
talent called for. A hard worker,
he would hardly complain saying
The real break will come"
Page died of a heart attack at
Harlem Hospital. 200 fellow must
clans will play at least 20 bands
at benefit performance at the
Stuyvesant Casino.
1t will be a fine tribute to a
Texas musician who fell in love
with horn at the age of II.

Truck Driver
Killed Dodging
Woman Leading
Cow On Highway

LAUREL, Miss. Nov. IS - Sud
denly faced with choice of his
own life or that of woman pc
destrian, a 40-year-old Negro log
truck driver Friday afternoon,
eight miles north of here, rode to
his death.
Crushed fatally in the wreckage
of a log-loaded trailer-type truck
when he deliberately drove into
an embankment to avoid striking
down a 50-year-old Negro wom-
an was Percy McLaurin, of Bay
Springs.
Deputy Sheriff Clarence Good
son said McLaurin, driving south
on Sharon road, suddenly was con-
fronted with woman leading a
cow across the highway.
Evidently realizing that he
could not bring the heavily loaded
truck to a halt, McLaurin deliber-
ately chose his grim gamble rath-
er than strike the woman, identi-
fled as Lula Mcmillan, Jones
County Negro housewife, the dep
uty sheriff said.
McLaurin, his body broken and
crushed, was pinned inside the
death truck and when lifted from
the wreckage was unconscious and
dying, Goodson declared.
The crash occurred at $3.50. Three
hours later McLaurin died in a
Laurel hospital. Goodson said that
it is certain McLaurin knew he
was flirting with death when he
headed the truck head-on into
the embankment. The impact
crushed the truck and its trailer
accordion-like, scattering all but
two of it's load of eight or ten
heavy logs in the immediate area.
McLaurin was veteran of
World War ii, he was enroute to
a sawmill in Laurel when the ac-
cident occurred.

WHY ADD TO GODS WORD,
CHRIS" FULFILLED 1T THE
BIBLE SAYS so.
There is a day Of sorrow over the
hill
And a dark cloud on behind
Men are dying on the battlefield
And mothers are weeping and cryf
ing.
The Bible said these Wars would be
But not with the Saints of God
The Saints have all been born
again
Created in them a new heart.
Guns will never give us peace
Only conquer and stop the War
The love of God will give US
peace
Like grandmother and grandpaw
Jesus died for the churches today
All that are build in his name
He said Peter upon this rock III
build my church
He didn't mention no other name
Whv should | claim the church OF
Christ
When just a member of Jesus
band
Jesus gave his life for this church
For worshipping place for man.
Why build church just for man
And claim you are working for
Christ
Jesus had no charges on his word
Yet he raised the dead back to life.
He said he that give let him
freely give
My people follow Jesus all the
way
No charges for to raise the dead
No tax did they have to pay.
Old mother and father could not
read a line
Born of the spirit of a living
Christ
Who taught them how to live here
A true and honest life.
The love of money is the root of
all evil
So evil is on a broad row
Giving our wives and daughters
envelopes
To beg from door to door.
Degrees and diplomas you see to-
day
They were not the teachings of
Christ
He said, "I've hidden all these
things from the wise
And releaved them into Babs OF
this life.
