Junior Baker and friends are
all set for their circus. Look for
their advertisements on neigh
borhood trees.
The kids have had problems in
staging the event. The biggest
was the admission fee. Junior
wanted to charge five cents, Mrs.
Baker thought it would be much
nicer if they charged five pins.

his Directors then told his
mother they'd taken her advice.
The ads now read: Giant Circus

White Woman SEEKING
School Okoy for Negro

MOBILE, Ala, Sept. Is (P).--
A member of a prominent white
family yesterday asked the Mo-
bile School Board to admit her
12-year-old foster daughter, .
whom she described as a Negro,
to a white school.
Mrs. Dorothy d. Daponte, a
widow, wrote Board President
Kenneth w. Reed asking for
individual placement Of my
foster daughter, a little Negro
girl. This child is named Carrie
Mae McCants."
The request was the first for
NAL appeal to Mobile County
public school authorities for ac-
Iceptance of a Negro child in a
school with white pupils.
Mrs, Daponte said in the letter
that acceptance of Carrie Mae
would give the Negro race an
opportunity to show what their
development can be under ia
vorable circumstances. 1t would
give Alabama chance to show
good faith in a case where there
lis no danger of large numbers
or lowering of standards"
Mrs. Daponte explained that
Carrie Mae attended school with
white pupils the last two years

in Europe and that her back
ground accidentally, morally
and socially is adequate for her
entrance into an integrated
school" and that she would CON
duct herself in such manner as
to minimize the possibility of
friction and disorder"
Il have brought up Carrie
Mae myself since she was 6la
years old" Mrs. Daponte said,
and in the past two years she
went to schools at Versailles,
Paris, Florence. Londen, Heidel-
burg and Yorkshire.
Il am at present living on
Venetia road. The colored school
for this district is poor and far
away and below Carrie Macs
standard of achievement !"

the Gordon children to school.
The Gordons rode in the family
car.
At the school, Gen. Williams
took the children by the hand
and led them into the school
ground where he instructed a
lguardsman:
when school opens let the
Gordons go in the front door
just like the white children"
The Gordon children posed fol-
pictures and James, firing of the

NEGRO BUS DRIVERS FOR TRANSIT COMPANY

In Oklahoma City where bus segregation has been
abandoned since the ruling of the Supreme Court order
outawing segregation Buses the City Bus Company has
hired it's first Negro bus driver The firm describes its
ton being based public opinion That is good news
from Oklahoma. We certainly could of that kind
of public opinion in Miami.
We believe Mamians just as broadminded as
OklahOmans and that the same kind of public opinion
favorng Negroes in that city in Miami 1t may be latent
but we believe it could be aroused
There is good reason why Negroes should not now
be driving of Miami Transit Companys
Buses Certainly ought to be able to find qualified
drivers for buses
The Miami Times suggests that the Miami Transit
Company consider seriously employing Negro bus drivers
during the coming year.
Our state has not yet given notice of compliance
with the Supreme Court ruling but since routes No. 2021
are serving practically only Negroes there could be
logical for not hiring them.

Jackie Robinson, Brooklyn
Dodgers third baseman, has been
traded to the New York Giants
for pitcher Dick Littlefield and
$4,000 in cash. Like m a y
Others, Jackie is my favorite
player. He has almost reached
the end of playing ball, in the
opinion of many, but if he plays
with the Giants, he could help
them a lot. With Willie Mays,
that's quite a combination for the
gate and otherwise. Brooklyn is
