Invite your friends over for a
party and serve delicious ice-c0ld
watermelon. Eating watermelon is
fun and, with the large supplies be-
ing shipped in from the Carolinas
and Georgia, there are plenty of
melons to select from. The big mel
ons have dropped 35 cents apiece in
many cases. This brings prices
down to range between 10 cents
and s1.35 each.
There are plenty of local cooking
apples available this week Prices
are low enough for all of us to
serve one or more of the delicious
foods made from fresh apples. This
weekend try Dutch apple pie or
golden brown apple fritters. Have
you ever tried serving frozen apple
sauce to your family-it's really
family do enjoy it.
Cantal0upe prices have leveled

still averaging about 29 cents each.

JOHNSON BLASTS
SEGREGATION,
COLONIALISM

HAMPTON, Va. - CAMP -
DR.. Mordecai Johnson, president
Of Howard University, blasted
segregation and colonialism in an
address delivered to the National
Dental Association at Hampton
institute last week.
He said in the past go years
some 1,250,000 colored people in
The world have become free or
partially free and that Great
Britain, France, Spain, Portugal,
Germany, Holland and others that
fostered colonialism in inter-
national policies are no longer the
great world powers they once
we're.
Johnson pointed out that colon
ialism suffered its downfall be-
cause of bitterness and strife
among the colonial nations.
The educator said that the ma
tons ,awoke too late to find that
the iniustices rendered on the
colored people of the world left
them incapable of trusting each
other.
In striking blow against seq
regation, johnson said:
"ThoSe of us who would hold
on to segregation would hold on
to a system which has failed all
over the world. The price of
maintaining segregation. in the
United States will be the loss of
the leadership of the world"

GORE ISSUES
ULTIMATUM
TO STAFF

At the regular meeting of the
staff and faculty at Florida ARM
University, the president, DR..
George w. Gore Jr., issued what
amounted to an ultimatum to the
faculty, staff and employees of
the school, regarding their par
ticipation in the bus protest in
Tallahassee.
DR.. Gore stated that either You
are loyal to the university or
loyal to something out there; cast
your lot with this ship or get of.
You can't be loyal to both.
He stated that participation by
some of the staff was embarras-
sing to the university, that he
therefore, wanted the faculty and
staff to refrain from participa-
ton in the protest movement. The
protest movement was started by
the students of ARM after the
arrest of two Ann goods who sat
beside a white woman on a city
bus when there were no other
seats available This happened on
the Ann FrenchtoWn route
which is predominately Negro.
The students voted to refrain
from riding the buses after the
arrest of the girls and a suisse
quent cross burning on the lawn
of the residence where the girls
were living. The protest quickly
spread to the community and was
organized by the Ministerial Al
lance.
Since the inception of the pro-
test, many university personnel
have participated actively in the
support Of the movement.

There's 4 NEW Way
Of Roasting Coffee -.
And It's The One Way That Gould
Make Wilkins Coffee Still Better!

wonder If you will take just the next few
seconds to read this personal message from me.
You have never heard Of "custom-roasted"
coffee before. You are hearing about it now
for the first time.
You know that any top quality coffee you
buy Is blended. Certain beans, from certain
countries and regions even from certain hill
sides-contribute certain delicately balanced
qualities and values to the steaming cup of
coffee you love.
But then-after all this careful balancing
and blending Of the delicate coffee bean vari-
eties-most coffee companies roast them all to-
gether in one big mass roast! No wonder,
then, that some coffees have tasted either weak
and watery, or perhaps even bitter to you at
times ,(inc1uding even our oaOn.)
I take great personal pleasure in announce
ing to you that new improved Wilkins coffee
is now CUSTOM ROASTED-and (if you
haven't tasted our coffee recently it's just
about the most delicious, satisfying cup of
coffee you ever experienced. Here's what we
now dos
First, we select each Individual va
riety Of the worlds most superb coffee
Deans
Second instead of blending and then
mass roasting" we roast each variety
by itself according to it's own individual
aracteristics-such as type, color, age,
etc.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-05-15

Finally, we blend the beans AFTER
roasting-so that the blend is just ex-
actly right, when it leaves us on its way
to you.
In this way, and only in this way can each
individual variety Of beans in the Incompatible
Wilkins blend release it's precious taste ele-
ments at their very peak of flavor.
1t takes longer, obviously. Custom-roast-
ing demands this specialized type of individual
roast, instead of one big mass roast that
makes for mass production economies.
But, the result of Wilkins custom-roast-
ing, we feel, fully justifes the extra time,
money and trouble-the extra "coddling'-
that the worlds finest selected coffee beans
deserve.
That's the new improved Wilkins CUSTOM
roasted coffee you will find on your grocer's
shelf today. *
hope you will try the new Wilkins, if you
have not recently done so. / am sincere in my
belief that you will agree with me: New inn
proved Wilkins custom-roasted coffee is the
finest coffee you have ever tasted.
