The Bazaar Committee will not

up after the balloting has closed
and the winner announced. Each
snapshot, as it is received, will be
assigned a number and the night
of the Bazaar each person in at
tendance will have an opportuni-

Every year, all over the coun-
try, Hebrew congregations hold
Queen Esther contests in honor of
Esther, Jewish wife of Ahasuerus,
king of ancient Persia. Ahasuerus
and his minister, Hannah, planned
to massacre the Jews Of Persia,
but through the pleas of Esther,
the Jews were spared, and Ha
man was hanged instead. Purim
is the Jewish festival celebrated
in memory of Esther's successful
pleas.

food and clothing among them

Charlottesville, Va. = AS
an alternative to obtaining
treatment as a tuberculosis
sufferer or going untreated
for an indefinite period,
James Edward Reaves, 81
year-old colored resident Of
this city, was compelled to
accept a sentence of twelve
months in the Virginia State
Farm in Police Court last
weekend.
Reaves, listed in the 85th
place on the waiting list
for admission to Piedmont
Sanatorium at Burkesville,
the States only T.B. facil-
ity for colored patients, had
the choice of pleading gull
ty in Police Court to "delib-
erately and continuously
placing the health Of others
in danger of infection with
~'losis." This plea, al
though repeatedly false, is
one that must be made by
the person seeking admis-
sion to treatment at a IA
cility provided at the State
Farm for tubercular in
mates.
Local health authorities
say they are powerless to
obtain treatment for local
colored citizens in any 9TH

VIII appeal
Prison Sentence

The Supreme Court Of the
State has been asked again
to set aside the verdict in
the case of Bernard Skip
per, the young Lynchburg
Negro accused of raping a
white womn. Harold B. Sim
gleton, the defense attorney
designated by the Court to
defend Skipper, took excep-
ton to the decision and the
exception was noted by
Judge S. Duval Martin.
Skipper, the accused, has
authorized Singleton to APP
peal the verdict, and he
plans doing it. The young
Negro drew a 80 year SEN
tence in April 1853, and a
35 year sentence when he
was granted after a second
trial which ended May II.
Statements by the victim
of the alleged rape were
given as the grounds for
the motion for a new trial.
The press and public were
excluded from both hear
ings.

Handicapped
Bedford Boy
Is Graduated.
By Florence Fields-Wood

By Florence Fields Wood
Nearly every Christmas
our hearts are warmed by
the story of Dickens Christ
mas Carol, which tells of
Ebenezer Scrooge and "Tiny
Tim. However, there lives
on Franklin ST., in Bedford,
a modern version of "Tiny
Tim. In fact, he is so call
ed by his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Harris.
The HAIRLESS are known
for their catering and the
very excellent ways in which
they prepare and serve food.
His mother, known through
out Bedford as "Tommie",
has helped in many of the
wealthy homes there, and
her husband has the reputa-
ton of having served more
banquets and church sup
pers than any man in Bed
ford. However, this is a
story of "Tiny TIM, so let's
get back to him. Tim,
whose real name is Clyde
Golden Harris, was given
the nickname when quite a
small boy in Roanoke, when
he was trying to walk. Hav-
ing been born with a Grip
pied FOOT he found it diff
ficult learning to walk. So
his mother affectionately
nick-famed him "Tiny TIM.
To her, he is still that.
But Tim did not pamper
himself because of his af-
Fiction. He persisted in do
ing the things. all normal
boys do, from working in a
bowling alley to riding his
bike a nd delivering tn e
daily news. He even played
touch football with the
school team. Three years
ago, arthritis seized Tim,
and he has h a d to give
ground in his fight for his
activity, but he did not
despair.
Last year found him COM
pletely confined to a wheel
chair, but Mr.. j. /. Jones,
who Is the principal of Bed
ford Training School, de-
cided that he and Tim could
still get through. So every
day, for about 2 hours, the
teacher went home to the
pupil, and class was held
there, and so June 8 found
Tim receiving his diploma
with the rest of the class.
Mr.. Jones is proud of Tins
accomplishments, and feels
that the most regrettable
factor was Tins inability
to participate in the group
discussions.
He is taking orthopedic
treatments and, with his
parents, plans for additional
treatments this summer.
They are hoping that he
will respond to treatment.
He is trying, now, to decide
whether he should go to
Tuskegee and prepare him
self with a trade or just
"stay home" You can be
sure that Tim is not op-
posed to learning a trade.
His only objection is that
"Tuskegee is just so far
