ON LAW BREAKING

Every time you pick up the paper nowadays you
read OF another crime of violence And the emphasis is
usually on the youth of the criminal Only of course
one must not say criminal but delinquent" Remedies
are being offered by the Dozen for the situation has de-
veloped into national problem.
OF course, maybe I'm inclined to be old-fashoned
and over-simplify matters, but it seems to me that
great proportion of this crime wave" stems from Just
one thing. We have failed to teach respect for law
We have made law-breaking smart on little things
and we have underpayed the Importance of being law
abiding.
True, there many laws on the statute books
that no one could learn them ALL But that is no excuse
are natural mimcs-and when they those author
ity over them, evadng regulations they do the same
Traffic laws something you try to get caught
breaking, they think-and you do you should know
someone who would quash ticket They don't think of
them as laws that it isn't fair to break So when they in
their teens get behind wheeLthey take chances and
then the papers talk about another juvenile delinquent
Yet-who taught them to break the law?
In fiction and film, have glamorized the law
breaker. Yes the film boards insist on the idea being
presented that crime does not pay But-the criminals
are SHOWN Tor the most part with money to spend on
uxur1es on fast cars clever lawyers good police
man is referred to as honest cop"-as though he
were rather stupid rarity Lawyers referred to
smart If they get guilty client off-not as interpret
ers OF the law that try to aid the nnocenty enanged
There was a time when the title of "Your Honor"
for judge meant just that It was something to be
won by recude and ethics What have the printed word
and the pictured made it become? The same with
legislators. Honorable characteristic once not
just title. Why have we let down our own ideals?
The place to begin in wiping out crime wave is
before it starts. If children were taught that law
breaking was something that just wasn't done - that
laws were made to be kept and if they saw that their

About A Negro Playground In
North.Northwest jackson

One of the best ways Judge the need for public
project is the amount of to which it is regularly
subjected. Observing its there be doubt
about the need for playground and swimming pool
for Negroes out in the College Park Auditorium
West Lynch Street.
This very usage to which it is regularly subjected
points the fact that is totally inadequate to meet
the needs of all the Negro children of the entire City of
Jackson
One of the comparatively developments in the
growth of the city is the Negro neighborhoods be-
ing rapidly created in northnorhwes Jackson by home
owners with literally thousands of children with no.
where to play except they make the long trek to the
playground in the College Park Lynch Street.
In our opinion the next and most important project
on behalf of its Negro Citizens that should be undertaken
by the City of Jackson, considering the problems of
growing youth delinquency, would be the erection of
playground for Negro children comparable to that on
Lynch Street somewhere in the Negro community of
North Northwest Jackson.

Negroes Gaining
Life Expectancy

New York, May 8 - Although
he started much lower down than
the white, the Negro has gained
about 29 years of life expectancy
since 1900, the Health Informa-
ton Foundation reported here this
week.
The white population Of the
United States still continues to
enjoy a longer life expectancy
than Negroes, Women, however, of
both races in the u. S. and in
most parts of the world surveyed,
except India and Ceylon have a
decided edge over the male.
Both races have shown improve
ment in life expectancy within the
u. S. since 1900; but the Negro
populations is the greatest because
it started with a much lower life
expectancy in 1900 than whites.
Because of poor health conditions
among Negroes in some sections of
the United States, any improve
ments that reduce infant deaths
and deaths from communicable di-
seases in early life, have marked
effect on life expectancy.
Continued high increases in
Negro life expectancy will come
as educational and economic levels
RISE" the report said.
At the present time, Negro males
and females have the mortality
risk and life expectancy of whites
in the '30's.
In figures, the Negroes life ex-
pectancy is 59.7, male, GA fe-
male; the whites, 66.8, male; 1928
female. This was in 1853.
India has the lowest life ex-
pectancy, around 80, for males
and females; the African popula-
ton of the Belgian Congo next,
about 40. Sweden, England and
Wales, New Zealand, and Nor
way, are all ahead Of the United
States 66.8 and 1873.

JESUS is THE WAY, NOT
THE OTHER MAN"
You can find Jesus on the highway
When there is flesh and blood
go round
You can find him on the Kings
highway
When there is a starry crown.
Jesus fulfilled the law with his
precious blood
On that Cross on Calvary Hill
Three days and nights in a lone
some grave
And returned back to fulfill this
life.
Christ was the only one fit to die
For the sins of this world
All who believe on Him
God, the father will receive their
soul.
When a man or woman make a
mistake
God doesn't join
Let no man put asunder.
If we obey the word of God
And ask for our husband and wife
We will be as one, and two no more,
And live happy all our life.
How many oneless homes today
That God joined them with his love
Your deed, you call it lesson
Yet your lesson is Gods love from
above.
The modern day lesson is just
deed
The State gives man the rights of
his wife
Gods love gives no man two, but
one the
Rest of happy life.
A home without Gods love in it, is
just
Like a country or City He'll
A three dollar deed for a thous-
and dollar wife
Will never get along.
If the people would allow God to
join them
We could have q Paradise in this
Yet the Preachers are joining them
with a three dollar
Deed, and it is He'll for those here
to stand.
1t doesn't take money to enter
Gods Heaven
Good moral and honest wife will
give us
children to follow on behind, and
live
An honest and upright life.

To Promote Visitors Program

Frank Whaley, well known
Nomeite and director of the Alas
ka Visitors Assn. arrived Satur-
day from Fairbanks where he has
launched campaign to collect
$4,000 in memberships for the
organization which has created
considerable interest from coast
to coast as it has spotlighted Alas
ka by TV, lectures, and other
promotional programs and which
has paid off with the increased
traffic shown in Alaska the past
year. Automobile traffic is re-
ported to have increased in 1856
by rs percent over 1855.
Whaley pointed out that World
Travel is increasing and if Alaska
is to have its shore of travellers
on vacation, it must step up its
publicity and advertising.
Three kinds of membership are
available. First, the voting mem
bership at 500 a year; second,
sustaining members at $40 and up,
and, finally, the So membership
which includes windshield
sticker advertising AVA and in
vites interest in visiting Alaska.
A visual presentation of what
the Tourist Industry means will
be featured at the Chamber
Luncheon tomorrow noon at
which a capacity crowd is ex-
pected. The presentation will be
different than any other given
here and promises to be a very
interesting program.
President Stan Morgan states
that the luncheon will start
promptly at noon at the Polaris
so that as much time as possible
can be given to the discussion of
AVA and how Nome fits into the
Alaska picture.
