AN OPEN LETTER

When we, the citizens of
Roanoke, Virginia, are asked
to purchase tickets and give
them to children so that they
might attend public affairs
or any type of amusement, do
we take time to go to these
things ourselves and see just
what type of program is be-
ing offered? Do we, as Ne
groes, help to segregate our
selves?
On Saturday, September,
II, I attended the 200 p. m.
performance of the Kin g
Brothers and Cole Brothers
Circus at Maher Field-spon-
sored by the Exchange Club
of Roanoke.
Tickets had been given to
me for the children and had
to pay S1.3O for m y S e f.
When l entered the tent l
learned that the Negroes
were segregated in a far
corner and that we had only
regular seating tickets. These
seats were not stable and the
children were afraid to go up
on them; and once you were
seated, if someone was sit
ting in front of you, or if you
were small, your feet had to
swing in the air. | spoke to
one of the. men on the gate
and he pointed out that if we
wanted better seats we would
have to pay for them. The

reserved seats cost an addi-
tional soc per person, regard
less of age.
AS went over to the re-
served seats | asked one of
the annOuncers if he thought
the regular seats were safe,
and why was that rag hang
ing in front of them, blocking
the view-as it was already
very poor. He became angry
at my questioning him and
when [ told him that some
thing was going to be done
about the seating he wanted
to know if | was threatening
him. / answered saying mo,
| am not threatening you,
just telling you, that's all"
He then walked away.
A n o t h r gentleman also
spoke to him and was Atold
that l had hollered at him. He
went on to say that this cir
Gus had lbeens been coming to
Roanoke down through the
years and had been carried
on in the same manner. I
answered him by saying,
whether you know it or not,
changes are being made"
Several small Negro boys
tried to slip into the reserved
seats and were yelled at as if
they were dogs. The curtain
in front of the Negroes was
moved but part of it was left
hanging, | II u g Seplepatinf

Il did not leave'the Circus,
as the children whom. i had
with me wanted to see it.
I believe these are matters
that should be questioned.
Another point is this-once
the circus had begun many
of the whites left the regular
seats and moved into the re-
served seats with us, without
being questioned and without
paying an additional fee.
l can understand why there
are reserved seats, but the
regular seats should be safe
so that if, for any reason, the
people had to move at once
they would not e n d ang e r
themselves and CHI DIR e n
would not have to be carried
down because they are afraid
to step.
The firemen were there and
checked around the, tent for
anything that might be a
fire hazard, thus allowing the
show to go on. But | am say
ing that having walked up on
those seats myself, / could
see the danger. That is one
of the reasons | bought a re-
served seat ticket.
This is just to say that we
should be more alert when we
are asked to purchase these
tickets for such affairs, for
we are only segregating our
selves and endangering the
lives of our children and our
selves.

Bic Bills Coming
Back To Treasury

Washington - The $4,000 bill,
biggest and often termed the 'rar-
est bird" of United States cur
rency, is gradually returning to
roost in Federal Reserve and
Treasury Department vaults.
Under present cash-transaction
regulations and banking methods,
the need for so sizable a tender is
passing. But bills of large denom-
ination have circulated through
out America in surprising numbers,
the National Geographic Society
says.
In 1910 when enormous cash
dealings weren't unusual, some 60
million dollars in $4,000 bills were
in circulation. BY 1947 only II mil
hon dollars worth of them was in
public hands; by April, 1855, about
8 million dollars.
The seldom-seen $4,000 note
bears the portrait of Salmon P.
Chase of Ohio, President Lincoln's
first Secretary of the Treasury.
The reverse side is inscribed with
the ornate but alluring letters:
Ten Thousand.
Just where the remaining high
denomination bills in free circula-
tion are located and how they are
used is open to guess. Some, pre-
surnably, served to pledge perfor-
nance of contracts. A very few
May have been obtained for show
