Letters To Editor

Mr.. Percy Greene, Editor
Jackson Advocate
4O6 " N. Parish st.
Jackson, Miss.
Dear Sir:
l was glad to see that one news
paper gave you credit for being
level headed on the subject Of seq
regation, as you did not believe
the action of the Supreme Court
would be of any benefit to the col
ored race.
came down here in 1916 and
was amazed at the fine relation
ship that existed between the white
and colored people here on the
Coast, as from things l had heard
up North tension existed between
! them.
! The letters NAACP it seems to
me should be read National Asso-
citation Against Colored People, and
/ | wouldn't be surprised to learn
that the promoters had selfish in
! terests in mind, as well as finan-
cial gain.
/ used to operate small bust
ness here and had a nice business
from the colored people and find
! that many of them are still my
friends.
! asked an elderly colored man
what he thought about all this
fuss about Indignation, and he said,
it would do the colored people more
harm than good.
l was in New Orleans a few
days ago; got onto street car
and as | didn't have far to go, just
dropped into a back seat, the con-
ductor picked up sign on the seat
and showed it to me, then l looked
around and noticed there were
three or four colored ladies back
there, so / was violating the rules.
Then 7 moved forward.
/ think segregation has some ad-
vantages for the colored people in
that respect.
1t seems to me that as a whole
the colored people would prefer to
advance as race with their own
schools, organizations, businesses
and professions, and in time inte-
grafton might become a thing
through natural processes rather
than by agitation and bloodshed.
I came from Indiana and there
are no Negroes at all in many of
the towns. if they go there on bust
ness OK, but they are not permit
ted to live there. So you see the
South is not the only place where
there is a degree of segregation
When it was limited that should
move forward in that street car,
was in a way being segregated.
want to commend you for being
broad minded and sensible in the
matter and hope you have plenty

Indignation
Peaceful At
Small Ala. College

MOBILE, Ala, Feb. 27-For II
months Negro students have been
attending Spring Hill College here
and there have been no unfavorable
reactions. according to Rev. An
drew c. Smith, college president.
Rev. Smith said there was only
one unpleasant incident on the day
the Jesuit College opened its day
classes to Negro students in Sep
TENDER, 1854. A white student who
was taking a preliminary entrance
examination left.
During the first semester of inte-
grafton. approximately dozen Ne
gro students enrolled. Last fall
about the same number were en-
rolled. Some have left since, MAX
ing the total Negro enrolment less
than 20.
The college said it does not know
the exact number Of Negro stu
dents since no records are kept of
race. Before the opening of day
classes in 1854, Negroes attended
night classes at the college.
A college official said there have
, been some failures among Negro
students, but that the percentage
was no more than the average for
other students.

the wife is of the Catholic faith
will be considered.
unless we find couples willing
to adopt them soon the children

we want to avoid that if possible. ("
Mr.. DeMarinis said that home
study of the couple would probably
be accomplished by welfare

and that if the home was ap-
proved, the couple would be re-
quired to make only one trip to

of these youngsters should apply

Need For Adaptive Homes For Children
Spurs Coasi-To-C Coast Speech Should
Apply To ST. Louis Agency By Mail

ST. LOUIS, Mo.-Somewhere in
the United States there are two,
possibly more, Negro Catholic
couples whose lives will be brighter
in 1856 because of an adopted child,
nccording to Mr.. Anthony De-
Marinis, executive director of the
Family and Children's Service
here.
Mr.. DeMarinis does not know
who these families are or where
they may live, but he feels certain
that adaptive parents will be found
for the youngsters this year. They
have tried to find such a home in
the St. Louis area where the
agency serves, but having failed,
are making a coast-to-coast search
for Negro, Catholic adaptive homes.
The children are little Sammy,
% months old and Jimmy, aged 9
months. Both are healthy, attrac-
tive, bright-eyed youngsters with
above average backgrounds who
would make the couples who adopt
them the proudest parents in the
world.

Into The Light

There was q sudden blackout in
the window-world Of the dining car.
Three very small Negro boys stop
ped eating and looked question at
their mother.
"It's all right" she assured
them.
1.-THE dark is just tunnel. In a
minute we'll be out into the light
again."
And in a minute we were. Soft
sunshine gladdened the window
world once more.
Three little Negro boys in q
diner-and all the rest of the 15,-
100000 Negro Americans in the
United States - are created free
and equal with their fellow citi-
zens of other shades under the
truths Americans hold "to be self
evident"
The United States is not tun-
nelworld. But it is world where
tunnels still exist. The tragedy OF
an Emmett Till case, the affront
to the dignity of man symbolized
by the ordeal of Autherine Lucy,
all efforts to prevent individuals
from reaching the full scope of
their deific endowments-these are
some of the dark tunnels.
But there has been and there
will continue to be coming out
into the light. 1t happens when
Ralph Bunche is elevated to posts
of deserved honor, or when between
1000 and 5000 Negro students re-
ceive their higher education, with
out un-toward incidents, at SOU
thern institutions. The effect OF
all such progress is the same. Tun-
nels have been left behind.
humanity being what it is, we
are not likely in minute to reach
the full light of just day. HUI
mainly being what it is, enlighten-
ed through will persevere until
that day comes.
It will take more than minutes.
It will perhaps take years. En-
trenched custom will tempt some
citizens to vainly cling to the past.
There may be mistakes and even
tragedies before the truths about
God-given, unalienable rights are
universally self-evident in the land.
But the day will come. 1t will
come when we see ourselves and
our brothers as what the Apostle
Paul termed children of light, and
the children of the day not O.
the night, nor of darkness"
