NEW YORK, N. Y. = Powerful
economic sanctions are being taken
against Negroes who signed peti-
tions asking for an end to segrega-
ton in schools in Yazoo City, Miss
issippi, according to a Mississippi
newsman writing in The Reporter
magazine.
David Halberstam, reporter on
the West Point mississippi Daily
Times Leader, describes the present
situation in Yazoo City, one of five
Mississippi cities selected by the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People as
targets for inrplementing the Su-
preme Courts desegregation deci-
sion.
According to HalberStam, the
basis for opposition to N. A. A. c. P.
action is being furnished by recent
ly organized Citizens Councils dedi-
Gated to maintain segregation.
Names of the signers of the N. A.
A. c.. P. petition were listed in the
Yazoo City newspaper and reprint
ed in a large advertisement paid for
by the Councils, Halberstam re-
ports, and it was about that time
that firings and boycotts began.
Either white men would fire a
Negro worker Immediately or a
Negro would lose his job after an
other white man visited an employ
er and suggested that a petition
signer be fired" he says.
Although many Negroes removed
their names from the list, their jobs
were not restored, according to
Halberstam who reports that IA
SignerS have left town and others
are planning to go. Only those
whose incomes come exclusively
from the Negro section of town can
continue a normal living, he says,
and adds that most of the signers
are borrowing money from friends
and barely eking out an existence.
I'm Yazoo City the racial breach
is constantly widening" Halber-
STAN writes. Neither race is will
ing to work for mutual goals at
this point" Halberstam quotes the
chairman of the Yazoo City Citizens
Council as saying, II think integra-
ton is wrong. D.. This is a real prob
lem, one which might have been
worked by time itself = but the
N. A. A. c. P. has stepped in before
time.
Il don't think you can legislate so

Flu, Pneumonia
December killers

Last year, for the month of De-
cember alone, 46 persons died from
influenza and pneumonia. The
number of deaths taken by the
states number one problem dis
ease, tuberculosis, in that month
was %.
The onset of the disease is
usually sudden. The person may
have a chill or just feel chilly; he
may cough up small amounts of
sticky, rust cOlOred sputum; his
temperature rises; he may have
rapid, painting respiration, or he
may have sharp pains i'm his upper
body which WOrsen with breathing.
According to Frank r. Williams,
director of the Division of Health
Education, State Department of
Health, "Arizonans will do we'll to
remember that the chilling of the
body, following exposure to cold or
wet or sudden chilling when over
heated, mental or physical fatigue,
surgical operations or accidental
injuries and alcoholism all lower
resistance to these diseases"
A person who has pneumococcal
pneumonia should be under the
care of a physician. With the de-
development of sulpha drugs and
penicillin, the possibility of recov-
cry within a short time is great.

NPREDICTABLE MARCH
WEATHER certainly upset the pre-
dictions of good many local church
ladies who had hoped to help feed
lunch to some $500 youngsters ex-
pected here last Saturday for the
music additions at the college and
high school. The result of the mis-
calculations was that the families of
the good many local church ladies all
day Sunday were still eating baked
beans and potato salad-the left
overs of the church "jitneys".
Despite the March blizzard the
big yellow school buses rolled in
with an estimated 1000 music
contestants. They ventured forth
from their building assignments
only upon necessity, and took
only long enough to eat at noon.
Then back to the warm school
buildings. 1t was not like last
year when the Main street
parade of students made it ap-
pear to be as much hamburger
eating contest as a horn blowing
event.
STILL 1000 STUDENTS is a large
crowd and certainly a contrast to the
old Eisteddfods of some years ago.
Paging through yellowed file of The
Bluffton news of April 2, 1925, we
came upon "a front page story stating
that "nearlg 400 are coming here for

MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS MAKE PALMER VISIT

Part of a group of Iowa Noun taineers from Iowa City were Palmer visitors this week. Their stop in the Valley was made on their return from Kenai, Homer and Seward where they had made hikes and climbs in the mountain regions.
 The party of climbers, 32 in all, made their trip to Alaska over the Alaska Highway, trav- cling in specially built bus, a truck, and a Volkswagon. Each year the organized group under the leadership of John Ebert of Iowa City spends their free time climbing mountains and taking hikes through National parks. The month of August is set aside for trip during which they tackle peaks in more far away places. During the summer of 1854 the group toured Europe, climbing 14 peaks, including the famed Matterhorn. The previous year they climbed the lofty peaks of Mexico.
 Eighteen members of the group making the Alaskan trip remain ed in the Castner Glacier region where they planned to climb peaks of that area, packing in all but their food which was being air-dropped. The group visiting in Palmer were escorted through the M.V.FCo-Op Association de- partments by Stuart Durrant, Co., Op general manager.
 This is the second Alaskan trip for the Mountaineers. In 1851 the group spent some time at Mt. Mckinley Park, climbing peaks and hiking through the region. A great variation in ages was mo- ticed in the group. The eldest active member on the trip to Pal mer was Albert Teske, of Moline, III. who will be 68 years old in October. Loren Lloyd of West Branch, Iowa is 66. Youngest members of the group were eight and II year old sons of group leader, John Ebert and his wife. MT. Ebert was with the group of climbers at Castner; Mrs. Ebert, is climber herself.
 From Palmer they planned to journey to Castner Creek in the Big Delta area where they will join the party of climbers go on to the Fairbanks area for short time and then leave for the States, planning to be back in Iowa around September II.

Every yOungSter in the Terri tory of Alaska who is member of a All club in his town, city, or village, has been invited to enter exhibits in Alaska's larg- est Fair, the Matanuska Valley Fair which will be held Septem- Der 3, 4, and 5. Hundreds of cash awards will be made during the Fair in over 25 classes.
 Classes in which All members may enter include gardening, po- tatoes, largest vegetables, gar- den, handicraft, dairy heifer, poultry, turkeys, rabbits, swine, sheep, milch goats, colts, sewing and clothing, knitting weaving, foods, canning, meal planning, wild flower preservation, photo graphy, All club booths, All club record book, and All dem- OnstrationS.
 At least one entire building will be devoted to the exhibition of All entries, Al Hagen, Fair manager, said this week. We expect this to be our biggest year in All participation, he said. With such a wide choice of classes, a All member will have an opportunity to pick up a size able amount of money and rlb- bons by entering several exhibits in the various classes, he pointed out.
 To encourage exhibits from distant areas, the Matanuska Val ley Fair Association has offered free transportation of exhibits from the point of origin to Pal mer. The exhibit building, along with all buildings on the Fair
