The Jackson College Tigers won
two games and lost one last week
to take their record to TIA. The
Tigers down 8 points at the half
in the Tennessee State game,
struck back with unrelenting fury
and defeated A. & l. University's
national championship team 76-74.
The loss snapped the McClendon
teams winning streak at IS. 1t
was their second loss of the sea-
son and the first defeat suffered
by the Tennessee sharp shooters
on the present home court in reg
ular season play. State led 40-31
at the halfway mark. After two
minutes of play following the ~
PERMISSION, Coach Harrison Will
sons team had gone ahead 41-40.
Thereafter, the lead changed hands
constantly before the Tigers went
out front by 7 points. The "Vol-
unteer State" team came roaring
back to knock the score 74-74 with
only seconds left to play. Billy
Mcdonald, Jackson's towering GEN.
ter from Bay Springs, Mississippi,
rammed one through the strings
to put the contest on ice for Jack
son College. Norman Warner, the
Tigers amazing s. 7" guard from
Kentucky, led the Tigers scoring
with 10 points. Kean was the top
man for State.
Saturday night the Tigers took
a l6-point lead at the half and
went on to defeat an excellent
freshman dominated Tougaloo
team 1886. Billy Mcdonald was
top scorer for the Tigers with 27
points. The Tougaloo team gets
another chance at the Tigers Sat-
urday night, February II, when
they play the Tigers at College
Park Auditorium which is being
used as the home court by the
Tigers. A capacity crowd is ex-
pected when these two teams meet
as a result of the very stiff COM
petition offered by Coach Brax-
tons Bulldogs in the February 5
encounter. The February II game
will be the final game of the sea-
son for the Jackson College Tig-
ers. They play Mississippi Voca-
tional College February Is and en-

The burial fund is maintained
largely by free-will contributions
of individuals. During the clos
ing months of every year, every
lodge and household that is a vol
untary member of the club collects
free contributions from its mem
bers for the benefit of the burial

give. What a member donates, or
whether he donates at all, is mat

This meeting will be held at the

their record to Is wins and 8 losses
when they trounced the Alcorn
College Braves 97-81 in the sea-

scoring surge to nail down the

The total Copperbelt labor force
is about $1,000.
White miners had to decide in
their vote whether the union
should stand firm on the principle
of equal pay for equal work and
no augmentation of jobs" or
whether it would agree to deletion
of certain jobs now done by whites
from the terms of agreement with
mining companies and give these
jobs to Africans.
Before the ballot union branches
discussed company proposals which
would provide that a number of
jobs be conceded to Africans but
that the number Of Africans
brought into the new jobs would
not exceed S per cent of the total
white labor force for a period of
five years.
Union headquarters have not an
nounced the voting figures from
branches.

ANSWER: What does the future hold
for Latin America? No one can visit this
area of the world without being tremen-
douSly impressed by its potentialities.
There are great unexplored natural re-
sources, and the people are intelligent and
hard-woTking. All that is needed to assure
economic progress is political stability and
government policies which will encourage
private investment and individual enter
prise. In those countries where such poll
cies have been adopted, remarkable eco
nomic development is taking place.
On the basis of my observations, believe
that much Of Latin America is entering
new era of relative political stability. Eco
nomic progress, therefore, is inevitable if
this trend continues.
Here, however, as in other countries
throughout the world, there is a sinister
threat to peace and progress. ! use the
word threat adviSedly because | saw
