57-year-old Negro insurance sales
man here was recently selected
for membership in the Legion Of

Foresters.
Ernest B. Yarbrought of the

Some of these men, employed
now in the area of race relations,
are helping to make this nation a
bastion of world democracy.

Morehouse College, is one example
Of such enterprise. A Phi Beta
Kappa key wearer, with a Univer-
sity Of Chicago Doctor of Phil
osophy degree, he worked as a
pullman porter during his senior
high school and three college years.
DR.. Mays contributions to edu-
cational religious and community
welfare have been of tremendous
impact at conferences held in Ok
ford, England; Stockholm, Sweden I;
Amsterdam, Holland; Mysore, In

United States. His membership

(Special)-Prof. Anselm J. Finch,
widely known writer, Educator and
poet, last week noted the 25th an
niversary of his widely read Poem
dedicated to the State Of MISSISSIPPI
pi.
The text of the poem is as fol-
lows:
Mississippi! Mississippi! in the
heart of Dixie Land
Mississippi! Mississippi! with her
black and fertile sand;
Our Mississippi, where cotton, peas
and beans grow
Is the Mississippi we should like to
have you know.
Whistles and bells wake up early
in the morn
When some rush to the factory and
others to the farm;
Our Mississippi opens wide her
door to ali
Our Mississippi answers many a
worthy call.
Today's Mississippi isn't the same
as yesterdays
1t has made steady progress in q
thousand different ways;
Better schools for both races freely
beckon US today
Finest training and instruction
dressed in every day array.
Yes, this Mississippi, is the one
for you to know
This Mississippi, does the good in
all men show;
Our Mississippi, where the two
races daily labor
Cooperating in heart with their
next door neighbor.
This common understanding Of the
human race
Prepares our great state for a
more progressive pace;
Mississippi! stand up, cheer up and
forget the sad
By magnifying the good and COR
recting the bad.
Mississippi! Mississippi! hold up
your shining head
Truly you must know that progress
isn't dead;
Stand up! We Mississippi, in your
most triumphant day
Countless sons and daughters will
never let you sway.

Those merry madcaps of the

one of the most exciting chapters
of all sports history-are coming to
Jackson, Mississippi on Wednesday,
February 20.

numerous jaunts to all parts of the
world.
Saperstein rates this Trotter unit
with the best Of the 81 that have
preceded it. With such stars as
Goose Tatum, Clarence Wilson,
Joshua Griler, and Ermer Robin
son, the club is blessed with height,
speed, deception, great shooting
ability and all the ball-handling
which Globetrotter teams are world
renowned.
This is the twenty-eighth season
for the wonders of the basketball
world. They entered the campaign
in mid-October of 1854 with sports
dom's most astonishing record of
1910 victories against only $50
defeats.
Last season alone, in ten and
one-half months of activity, they
won 423 games while dropping
only Z. This they accomplished by
dividing their squad on several &C.
casions and playing two different
parts of the world at the same
time. The season began with
second successive undefeated U. S.
Canada winter season Of 1863
games. While this was in progress
unit was dispatched to Australia,
the Far East and other islands of
the Pacific. This group captured
"a consecutive victories. The Aus
tralian phase marked the fulfill
ment Of a Saperstein dream-the
playing of all six continents of the
world.
Following the regular schedule,
the Trotters for the fifth success
i've year in row won the annual
World Series of Basketball against
the College All-Americans of the
year, Is games to 7, on record
breaking transcontinental trek.
Right after this, one unit was sent
to South America for the third
time and rolled up 33 victories in
as many starts and another visited
Europe for the fifth consecutive
year and scored rs successive vic
tories. The group that went to
South America returned home and
defeated the Chicago Brown Bomb
ers in a series Of games played in
southern ball parks and outdoor
stadii and the one back from
Europe defeated George Mikan's
u. S. Stars in a similar tour of
northern ball parks, the two COM
2iling 81 wins in all without a
blemish on the Trotter's remark
able record.
Extraordinary season? No, just
a routine one in the Globetrotters
way of doing things. The current
campaign will either equal or ex-
