A CHANGED PHILOSOPHY
Washington Daily News

From the time of Abraham
Lincoln to the time of Franklin
D. Roosevelt, the overwhelming
majority of the colored voters
cast their ballots regularly for
Republicans. t
That was because Mr.. Lincoln
freed them, and they believed
the Republican party to be the
party most interested in the well
fare of colored people.
Mr.. Roosevelt comes along and
whereas Mr.. Lincoln had freed
them Mr.. Roosevelt set about to
eoualize their standing. And the
recent Supreme Court decision
shows clearly the results OF MI.
Roosevelt's efforts. For it was a
New Deal court which handed
down the decision.
Recently in district Repuoll-
can meeting in Beaufort County
the Republicans adopted a reso-
luton condemning the courts
decision. And on local basis the
tables have turned. Since the
Republican party no longer can
count on the colored vote it could
afford to stand up squarely and
take its stand. 1t had nothing to
lose that it had not lost. 1t dldn I
have to be political in trying to
curry favor.
Whereas until 1884 the Demo-
Gratis accused the Republican
party of being the colored mans
party. today the Republicans are
saving the very same thing about
the Democratic party.
It shows how political circum-
stances change through the
wears 1t shows that a philosophy
which stands today might be the
issue which the other side adopts
tomorrow.
The Republicans would not
have dared TO make such a reso-
luton 40 years ago. Out number
ed anyway and facing a huge
Democratic majority locally, the
COP has nothing to lose by It's
resolution.

Four leg injuries in one year
can't keep Mrs. Alice ]. Lee of
Pantego from saying, Il know l
can walk and 1 will be walking
again soon.
Her troubles started in May,
1858 with an attack of crippling
arthritis in her left foot. Mrs. Lee
fought arthritis with all the will
power and medical facilities that
she could command. Nor did she
let herself become discouraged
when the disease began to affect
her right foot.
When greater pain in her right
foot sent her to her doctor and
he discovered break, known in
the army as marching fracture,
in the bones of her right foot,
Mrs. Lee again summoned her
indomitable courage to keep on
going.
Around Christmas the SEEM
ingly impossible happened and
Mrs. Lee received bullet
wound in her right leg. This is
the way she tells it.
1T was all on the account of
an old rat. We have had great
deal of trouble with them and
my daughter, Mrs. Antony Har-
ris III, and 1 noticed that this one
had torn out all the stuff under
the Christmas tree.
Il was telling the family from
Texas, who lived in a trailer in
my yard, about it and the man
offered to kill it for me. Nat
urally I expected him to use a
stick or something. So when I
saw the rat again I called him.
I was surprised to see him come
out with a little gun. Well, he
shot at the rat but the bullet
ricocheted through the lower
part Of my right leg He missed
the rat"
Not until May l, 1854 almost
a year from the first attack of
arthritis did Mrs. Lees courage
falter. That morning she opened
her door, made miss step, fell
and broke her right hip.
The next few days in the hos
pital, Mrs. Lee says, she spent
in bitterness and despair. "Why,
why did it have to happen to
me-" she asked herself.
II couldn't stay unhappy
though, the brave woman con-
tinues. Flowers, gifts, letters
and get well cards poured in. /
haven't missed a single day since
! was hurt getting cards. Every
one was so good to me l just
couldn't stay down and out"
Cards and letters kept her 60
ing for the twelve days that she
was in the hospital, she says. II
asked to be put in ward be-
cause I could best afford that.
My nurse put my cards on the
wall for me. When she had filled
all the space she could reach
she started climbing on a table.
The cards reached all the way
to the ceiling"
Leaving the hospital, Mrs. Lee
stayed with her sister in Kinston

TEXT: I'VE are never deceived;
we deceive ourselves"
- Goethe

A laborer who went to work
before daylight, sleepily put on
his overalls, backward. He was
still sleepy when he mounted a
ladder to reach the scaffold on
which he was to work. Missing
his step, he tumbled to the
ground. A fellow-workman hur-
ried to his side.
care you hurt, Joe?" he asked.
Joe sat up, and with dropping
head looked down at the seat of
his overalls. He shook his head.
mo, 1 amt hurt" Joe said,
"But I'm twished somethin' aw-
full"
It is a jolt to be deceived or
misled. We become hurt and an
cry. We quickly heap bitter crit
icism on the deceiver and tell
everyone that he is not to be
trusted. Let us not be too hasty.
Maybe we put on our overalls
backward. We may have been
deceived because we were will
ing to be deceived. How much
should a thief be blamed if the
jeweler leaves his doors and
windows open all night Many
times laziness or indifference -
our failure to put on our over
alls properly = invites deception.
We have responsibility in every
deception that is practiced on us.
Let us examine ourselves before
we complain.

The geological conditions in East End where this small
family of iguapas exist can be duplicated at many places IN
st. Croix. There is nothing there that, apparently, these liz
ards could not find as easily elsewhere. Yet, nowhere else
on the island-to my knowledge-can iguanas be found!
Iguanas are not highly specialized reptiles. Their range is
wide and varied. They are tough, fairly prolific and adaptable
to change. Why then have they disappeared completely from
their former haunts and only managed to survive in small
numbers at one particular spot? That, folks, is the mystery
of the St.Croix iguana and the puzzle I want you to answer
for me. Ever 50 often nature presents us with one Of these
enigmas. Problems that all our much Wanted progress and
science fail to answer. Maybe We need such stumbling
blocks to slow us down a little and make US realize that after

Sticks From The Hawks Nest
bY GEORGE a. SEAMAN

Many years ago when the mention Of East End Bush
coniured up visions of painless and impenetrable aridity, it
was the habit Of a young friend and myself to explore this
then quite inhospitable land in search Of what strange bird
or beast. we might find. Many visits were paid to our wild
east, many good shirts were torn to rage and here / learned
for the first time the real meaning Of the word thirst" We
saw wild donkeys, goats, hogs, dogs and cats. We saw many
interesting plants and strange flowers. There were beauti-
full seascapes and glorious daWns when we shivered in holes
dug in the sand for beds. We had just about given up the
youthful hope of discovering something "new" when not
fiftey feet from our Bayside camp one bright morning what
should We see but a great lizard, four feet long, calmly per
ched on a limb and apparently oblivious to everything but
the first rosy rays of a new day.
IN amazed unbelief my friend and / stared at each other
almost afraid to breathe Here, right before our eyes, was a
-~1eatheFy monster that could not be- but was, for didn't it
blink cold eye2 Our hearts humping like sledge hammers
we turned to stare dumbfounded at each other when, with
a slithering leap our discovery took to the bottom of a
small pond hard by. Only the pale, %scurrying land crabs wit
messed the glory of that moment. Here in a flash had been
given to US the reward Of our many tough journeys, and
here in a flash also had been taken from US the evidence of
our still i~ncredulous eyes. But now the battle was joined,
as it were, and the long kept riddle of the early morning
~scurryings and "plops" soon was answered. We had "re-dis-
covered" Iguana iguana.
A-eommon lizard throughout the West Indies, the early
chroniclers frequently mention its presence and its delect
ability. AraWak and Carib middens abound in evidence Of
the iguana as food. Such delightful references in our own
folklore as Lizard say he a good meat only he carry hissef
common, and Lizard lay egg but him no fowl," attest ex-
plicitly to a wider distribution and knowledge Of the iguana
in years past. Why thenis the igtana not better known and
in greater numbers with us on ST. Croix today
Undoubtedly the iguana was widespread on, ST. Croix at
one time. That a small remnant coIonyha has managed to sur
vive and successfully overcome the factors that brought the
of the race to extirpation must be viewed with deep wonder.
What combination Of favorable conditions? What benefi-]
cient protection? What indomitable survival factor in this
group? TO what natural cause or series of causes can we at

tract with a private utility for

For some time shipments Of
arms from Russia and Poland
under the guise Of agricultural
machinery have been reaching
North Africa ports in larger
quantities than in the past.
They have found their way to
the warrior tribes which have
been more restless than ever
since the French government
heavy-handedly removed the
Sultan or Morocco. Some Of
these shipments have been in
tercepted but many more have
been unloaded and dispatched
to the Arabs not only in Mo-
rocco and TuniSia but also in
southern Algeria.
The Soviet agents are par
ticularly anxious to create q
large-scale rebellion in Moroc-
CO not only for the sake Of
further embarrassing the
French but because we have
q number Of important air
bases in that area.
According to intelligence re-
ports, the Paris government
will be faced with a very Seri-
Gus North African problem
in the next few months.
The Arabs are better fight
ers than the Wet Mimi. The
anti-French tribes and many
loyal followers of the deposed
Sultan have enough weap-
ons to start serious trouble.
French forces are weaker than
ever before. Many Moroccan
divisions which are kept pretty
well in hand by their French
officers have been decimated in
Indo- China, where together
with the Foreign Legion they
formed the bulk Of the French
fighting forces. The defeat at
Diem Bien Phu has been skill
fully exploited by Moscow's
agents throughout North
Africa. The word Is being
