POOR MAGIC

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Up -
Dale Edward Vinsett, II, was miss
ing from his home and his family
feared he had drowned in stock
pond
Magic was called into play to
locate his body. A neighbor woman
tossed couple of Dale's shirts into
the pond. She said that the spot
where they sank was where he'd be
found.
Dale was found, all right. He was
at the home of a friend.

He drove them for several days through the urban
and rural sections of his state The Negro the host
a citizen of the United States, could not get food
from the hotels and restaurants His guests one
a Jew and the other an Indian, had to go IN and
buy food for him. The who introduced me IN
India as an untouchable was right The Negro IS
Americas untouchable.
Two three years ago friend of mine was
travelling in Germany. He met German who had
travelled widely in the United States He told my
friend that he hangs his head in shame every time
he thinks of what his country did to the Jews -
killing six millions of them But he told my friend
that after seeing what segregation has done to the
soul of the Negro in the South he has come to the
conclusion that it is worse than what Hitler and
his colleagues did to the Jews in Germany.
Make no mistake as this country could not
exist half slave and half free, it cannot exist half
segregated and half desegregated. The Supreme
Court has given America an opportunity to
achieve greatness in the of moral and spiritual
things just as it has already achieved greatness in
military and industrial might and in material
possessions 1t is my belief that the South will
accept the challenge of the Supreme Court and
thus make America and the South safe for de-
nlocracy.
If lose this battle for freedom for Is mil
lion Negroes we will lose it for AS million whites
and eventually we will lose it for the world This
is indeed a time for greatness.

Even tho the days are so hot
one cannot work in the garden
and fields about noon and a little
later, when dusk comes creeping
over the horison there is a faint
suggestion of an early fall in the
air.
Already the wild plums have
taken on a dusky sheen that
seems TO gid the lovely cheek Of
the best early fall fruit Musca-
dimes have begun to fall with
clear plinks into the deep pools of
Agnes branch, and happily the
heavy floods of early spring didn't
move the fallen log that serves as
q stop for the muscadines as they
drift their lazy way over the
depths that house little friskv
fishes, sWeetly fatted mudcats and
big turtles one only sees when the
sun is straight over head and shin
ING directly on a thrust of drift to
the left of the fallen log.
Then the drift seems as if it is
some strange mysterious tree
hanging with odd fruits. The tur-
ties remain motionless until the
sun moves away, then they tum-
bic into the cool water to play or
sleep, of whatever turtles do
when they are in the water.
Shady Rest has had period of
rest; at least two weeks, when the
only job that must be done and
often was the busting of the cot
ton patch; the milking, feeding
chickens, etc, is something that
goes on year around and we never
notice the doing of it.

Notes

Elsie Fl. Butler

Our electric fans are important
items during these hot summer
days. Let's give them the proper
care to keep them in good OPP
Grating order and give them a
longer life Of usefulness.
There is little about a fan to
get out of order if it is kept clean
and oiled according to the man
ufacturer's instructions.
Avoid falls or bumps that
might bend the fan blades or the
guard. When you clean the fan
blades, be careful not to spring
or bend them.
Be sure the fan is disconnected
from the convience outlet when
you clean or oil it and not just
turned "off" 1t is easy to hit
the switch and turn it to "oon,"
which could cause a serious ac-
cident.
Some small portable fans have
one place to lubrcaite; others,
two places. These places are at
the end of the motor When you
use fans continuously each ay,
oil them as follows:
/. Use | or drops daily if one
hole is provided
2. Use 2 or 3 drops weekly if
two oil cups or holes are provid-
ed
g. If the fan has wick oilers,
fill the cups with light grade of
cup grease once year.
