Eartha Kit

NEW YORK - (ANP) - The
Eartha Kilt story is being pre-
sented in the issue of Golfers now
on the stands.
The story points out Miss Kits
sky-rocketing success on the stage,
in night clubs and in the movies
and on records.
Most critics consider the singers
voice as mediocre, but say despite
this, she has sold more than 2,000,-
900 records. And her night club fee
has scared since she appeared in
"New Faces"
Miss Kilt takes her singing seri-
ously and is peeved when every
one in her audience does not re-
spond. The story relates how she
went into a tantrum when singing
at the Mocambo and one member of
the audience failed to clap at the
end Of her performance.
Angrily relating this to the pro-
prietor Of the nitery, Miss Kilt
confessed she could not see the face
of the non-clapper. The proprietor

Plan 1854
Meeting
To Meet At Tenn.
State College

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June T
Especial -Officers of the Ameri-
can Teachers Association met on
Saturday in conference at the Alta
office now located in the new Head
quarters Building of the Alabama
State Teachers Association in
Montgomery.
One major item for consideration
was the planning for the 51st con-
vention of the Alta scheduled for
the Tennessee State AIM at Nash
vile on July 1921, 1854 The theme
as submitted for the convention is
preparing for De-Segregation." It
is proposed that emphasis be placed
on preparation on the part of
teachers, students, and communi-
ties. Incident to the ATA's eff
forts to be of major assistance to
teachers, students, and communi-
ties, in this important period of
transition, note was taken of two
recently-released pamphlets enti-
tied Legal Status of Segregated
Schools" and Progress of the Edu-
cation of Negroes, 187O-195O." The
pamphlets were published by the
Alta, with the text prepared by the
Research Division of the NEA at
the request of the ATA-NEA Joint
Committee and are being released
to Alta members as part of the
service rendered to teachers by this
national organization. At the last
annual convention at Orangeburg,
South Carolina, the Alta made a
special contribution of 100000 to
the legal defense fund of the, Ma
ACP.
The organization reports a BAN
ner membership of 16,016.
Representing South Carolina at
the meeting was Gerard A. Ander-
son of Florence, who is president
of the American Teachers Associa-
ton.

Republicans
Take New Name

The Perry Howard faction of the
Republican Party, for years the
official COP in Mississippi, but
recent losers of the name to the
so-called Lilly White faction, has
taken on new name.
The party's new name will be
the Black and Tan Grand Old
Party. This name was adopted last
week after the faction lost sew
eral court cases seeking its name
as the official Republican party.
Mississippi legislated him out
of the party name with a law
saying only one party can have
the name Republican in it. The
whites, knowing about it, regis
tered Immediately after the law
was passed.
OF the whites, Howard said the
Black and Tan COP is determined
that the carpet baggers posing as
Republicans shall not snatch our
birthrights from u.s."

1T is HELL AT THE END
When the mental man is over task
Self rule him as he goes
But when physical man is over task
He can rest and go some more.
When too many degrees are put
into the brains
Man will change the time of day
He will preach Greek and Latin
For America it will not pay.
Thousands of brains can't stand
degrees
That is running the church work
today
Degrees raise the price on the Cos
pei
So high that the people cannot pay.
When Jesus came he made it plain
To every living woman and man
He did not call for no degrees
1t was a new heart that would
stand.
Fill with love of God in your heart
And no degrees | say at all, He
said,
81 will create in you a new heart"
My people why not answer to his
call.
You are filling Gods house with
brains and degrees
And no love to guide
You have done away with some
today
Too bold to try to hide.
Jesus said, "To train your childo
How many are training them the
way to go
You are allowing teachers to train
them
Just how to mark the score.
With all of your degrees today
And with Jesus at Heavens door
viii Jesus set you in Gods heaven
No, it's He'll you are bound to 90.
Ninety percent of the world today
Are living above their means
A big time the world is looking for
And a prize fight on the screen.
You are packing too much in your
brain
No lover or shame in sight
The eyes of the Lord are in every
place
Seeing both black and white.
