the whole niger question could
be settled with fifteen cents

not going to do it that way, we
are going TO maintain segregation

point he said, II could solve my

The whole meeting took on the
aspect Of a down in the woods

the speakers repeatedly asked for
amens from the audience. The
audience at Dewitt Monday mite
was not a very responsive group
for the White citizens council as
this community has witnessed
very good race relations for the
past few years.
The second speaker for the
meeting was Senator James John

that ne win not seek reelection

might devote as much Of his time
as possible to the furtherance OF
the White citizens council work

ed by Curt Copeland and towards
the close of hin address two
white women started passing out
applications for membership in
the White citizens council of Ar
kansas. They stated that they dis
tributed ZOO of the applications
which also included a subscrip-
ton to the Arkansas Faith, q
newspaper to be printed in Cros-
sett with all the latest truths
on white supremacy and the "ac-
tual" segregation news. Copeland
was free with his abuse of the
wire services and newspapers in
the state and the Arkansas Gag
cite and Harry Ashmore in par.

for the NAACP in the stata Of

Copeland intimated that any
white man who did not agree
with their idea of apartheidism
is perhaps something less than
man. He said that what Arkansas
needs is some politicians who
will stand on their own two feet
like man instead Of counting
the niger vote"
Copeland quoted Acts II, 38,

said, THE good niger, the cot

sweethearts."
In talking to this reporter later,
in Stuttgart, Copeland said that
the presence of the four Negroes
for the meeting helped to upset
the enthusiasm that they had ex-
pected but not received. One
prominent white citizen of De
Witt expressed a hope that there
would be some method in the
future to bar the meetings from
this city. He also told Elder Jer-
ry Shrieve of Jacksonville, who
was tagging along with the meet

for a meeting.

In general it might be said that
the places where l ate, the food
was very good. The dining rooms
were spacious, we'll lighted, well
ventilated, and beautifully deco
rated, The walters aad the entire
environment were clean and san
itary, The walters We're usually
courteous and put forth every ef-
fort to please the guest. Some OF
the walters could not speak nos
understand English, but in such
cases there was a special waiter
who could speak and understand
different languages, It was he
who helped those IN need.
Some of the evening meals were
served in the Open" surrounded
by the most beautiful scenery OF
nature, with ceiling of the sky
and stars overhead. During tn e
serving Of the meal, dinner mus
ic' was enjoyed,
The hot foods were in most
cases served hot. In some dining
rooms a method Of heat was pro-
vided on serving table to keep
the food hot in case the guest de
sired a second serving. In some
cases where baked chicken was
served, the waiter brought In the
whole chicken. placed it over the
heat on the serving table, and
carved it as the guest joyously
looked on.
WATER: For the most part, ice
water was a luxury. l. some
cases water glasses were not on
the table, if the guest desired
water, is was ordered with the
meal. In other cases sparkling
clean glasses were on the able
and water, though not always
ice cold could be had without
the asking.
BEVERAGES: Beverages such
as coffee tea, and cocoa were
plentiful, Hot milk was always
served with hot coffee, but with
hot tea one received cold milk
In some places, for example, Par
is, red and white wine were
served as a part of the regular
menu, without extra cost, to those
who desired it
FRUITS AND JUICES: For
breakfast a variety of delicious
juices was served. Fresh fruits
were, as rule, not served for
breakfast, but variety of lovely
fresh fruits was served for the
last course at the evening meal.
SOUPS: Both clear and cream
ed soups were served for lunch
and dinner Often one had 4
choice of hot or cold clear soup.
BREAD: Here, an American is
likely to run into a problem, be-
cause for the most part the bread
is much harder than our bread
IN the states, both rolls and toast.
Seldom or never is hot bread
served.
SALADS; To a large extent the
salads consisted of lettuce and to-
mattoes, and as a rule no dress
ing was served on the salad.
VEGETABLES: Largely fresh
vegetables such as string beans.
lima beans, potatoes, spinach, etc.
were served but Of course they
were not cooked with seasoning
meat, They were always served
dry, no liquid at all.
CEREALS: Cereals, both cooked
and uncooked compared favorably
with ours. Hot milk was ALWAYS
served with hot cereals.
PROTEINS: Plenty of good
fresh fish chicken. turkey. duck
lamb. veal steaks and a variety
Of cheese. The meats were nicely
prepared, but for the most part
they lacked that good American
gravy.
