We are all familiar with the
Pilgrims and their plucky fight
for survival in Plymouth. but
how many Of us are acquainted
with the origin Of the word it
self?
Pilgrim stems from the Latin
peregrinus. meaning foreigner.
A pilgrim is one who travels,
usually far and often In strange
lands, to visit some holy place or
shrine. The word also means q
first settler or recent immigrant.
Those who participated In the
Crusades were known as pilgrims
during their travels to the Holy
Land. Upon their return they
we're called palmers.
"I am d palmer, as you see,
Which, Of my Ute must part hGue
spent

trye."
Here are some words or kin-
dred nature. Are they part of

Mrs, Keen led the deuce OF
hearts, dummy played low and
Miss Brash won with the queen.
After some thought she returned
the eight of diamonds. Mr.. Dale
won with the ace. He caShed
the king Of spades, then led q
small spade to the ace in dummy.
Next came the three top clubs
on which the three losing dia-
monds in the closed hand were
discarded. Miss Brash could
have ruffed the third lead Of
clubs with her good queen Of
spades but that would only have
made things easier for Mr.. Dale.
She discarded a small heart.
Now Mr.. Dale had a problem.
To get to ruff a heart he first
had to lead the king of the suit.
There was no question but that
this would put Miss Brash in
the lead. And If she had the
high spade, she could take the
last trump off the board and
then probably get off lead with q
diamond.
This would leave Mr.. Dale with
another heart loser, which would
represent the setting trick.
Mr.. Dale wished he had not
cashed two high spades earlier.
He started to count the hand to
determine whether or not Miss
Brash had the queen of trumps.
Surely she had six hearts origi-
nally and she had shown just
two clubs. Mrs. Keen had
doubled three diamonds which
placed her with at least four
diamonds.
That meant Miss Brash had
started with no more than two
diamonds. Thus, with ten cards
reasonably accounted for, she
must have started with three
spades.
On this reasoning, Mr.. Dale
did not lead the king Of hearts
from the board. Instead he led
q diamond and ruffed it in, his
hand. Then he led a heart.
Miss Brash smothered dun1niy's
king with the ace and cashed
the queen of spades. But now
she had no out card.
She had nothing left but
hearts and the heart return en-
abled Mr.. Dale to finesse the
nine and make the jack for his
gan1e-going tricks.

Negro-owned banking institution
in the country, last Friday added
to such distinctions as being the
only Negro-owned bank in the
country to have branch bank in
another city, by becoming the only
Negro owned bank to have
branch in the city in which it OPP
crates.
Costing $4,000, the 47-year-old
institution opened a flagston brick,
modern design branch in the Hayti
area Of Durham where more than
1900 Negroes live.
The new branch Of Mechanics
and Farmers is probaly the only
bank in the United States, white
or negro to have a drive-in teller's
window, all equipped with bullet
proof and bullet-resistent (themo-
phane) window glass.
The branch is in direct COM
munication with the main office
downtown via telephones in each
teller's cage which are on the
same line with the bookekkepr in
the downtown office. The drive
in teller's window enables custom
ers to make DEPOSITS and cash
checks from their cars. In addi-
ton there is off-the-street parking.
Although there are only $4,000

with a truly alarming phenom-
enon in the effort of Senator
Irving Ives to succeed Gov.
Dewey at Albany. Senator Ives
is an upstate man and he has
always been an excellent vote
getter. But he was failing to
attract crowds and to inspire
the party organization to
greater efforts.
1t was felt that Carmine De-
sapio, present Tammany lead
er, would probably succeed in
getting out the voters in New
York City for the Hartman
ticket, especially as it includes
Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr., for
attorney general. The upstate
apathy therefore seemed ex-
ceedingly ominous.
The new strategy bears all
the earmarks of Thomas E.
Dewey. He should not lack
for material. He began his
career with the Federal Dis
trics Attorney and had time
for a good hard look at the
skeletons in New York closets
when he was District Attor-
ney of New York County. He
has been Governor three
times.
Now his files apparently are
being emptied for Senator
Ives as he himself never felt
the need for emptying them.

than to associate the United

1T is hatred of the West,
rather than admiration for
Communist doctrines, which
has led Mr.. Nehru to play into
the hands Of Red imperialism.
Like all orientals, of course,
he has enjoyed the aroma of
the incense which Western en-
voys have been burning before
his altar. But at the same
time he looks down upon the
ENJOYS with supreme conde-
Scension.
He has assumed no such at
titude toward the Chinese Reds.
He has dismissed as petty at
tempts at intrigue our warn
ings that the hammer and
sickle must eventually descend
into the vitalS of his own ma
ton If he continues to play
ball with the Red base-stealers.
Unless something entirely
unforeseen by American Dip
lomats and military men oc-
ours within a reasonably short
time, there seems to be little
doubt that the entire land
mass of Asia, from the 38th
Parallel in Korea to the In
dian Ocean, will be engulfed
by the Communist world. Mr..
Nehru's visit to Peiping, os-
tensibly to build what the In
dian leader likes to call asia
for Asians," will merely aid
and expedite the conquest of
all Asia for Red imperialism.
Mr.. Nehru is too intelligent
a man to fall into such a trap
blindly. We can only assume
that he knows what he is
doing. His talk of Asia for the
Asians blandly ignores the
