TESTING NEGRO LEADERSHIP

Our current crop Of white
Southern leaders never tires tel
ling the story of what fine race
relations obtained in the South
before the NAACP era. They
picture an ideal and idyllic state
of-being in the South, where both
Whites and Negroes were ever at
peace, and where there was a
race relational calm and Tranquil
lily akin to that OF Grand Pre- of
which Longfellow wrote genera
tions ago. But these Southern
leaders never stop to point out
what price the Negro was paying
for those imagined fine race re-
lations.
AS long as the Negro did not
press for his rights of suffrage and
feigned an indifference to his
voting privilege; as long as he did
not seek jury duty, as long as he
seemed satisfied to let the Whites
run the government after the
White primary style; as long as
the Negro was willingg to accept
the "Seperate but unequal" doc
trine in the matters of education,
he was jolly good fellow. But
once the Negro press for jury
duty and for a place in the erSt-
while White primary and once he
pressed for a "seperate but equal"
principle in education, trouble be-
gan to brew.
1t can be safely said that our
current trouble dates back to the
time when Negroes really began
to press for equal as well as
seperate conditions of education.
In other words as long as the
Negro accepted without protest
a condition of the White mans
domination and his own subjuga-
ton, all was apparently well in
the South-as long as the status
quo obtained. What has recently
been transpiring in the South has
been the Negroes attempt to
break away from the status quo
in search of another status on
higher level.
Today, we find the Old South
up in arms to resist the Negroes
effort to gain high status and as
Senator Byrd proposes there will
be no Negro advance because If
there is a massive resistance"
the Supreme Courts decision is
not going to become effective. The
Negroes are resolved to advance
and the Old South is resolved that
"they shall not pass and so the
struggle is on! The brutal fact
remains that race relations in the
South are terribly strained and
the state tension has dangerous
implications for both the White
and Negro South.
It is to be questioned which is
the more dangerous, tranquil
Old South with the Negro COM
pletly subjugated or an Old South
in stress and strained with the
Negro slowly but surely being
liberated. In other words there Is
something worst than tense Old
South with its Negroes striving
to become first rate citizens; it Is
an Old South complacent with
millions of Negro half-citizens.
Negro leadership has a strategic
role in the current crisis.
In his struggle for full citizen
ship, the Negro has attained the

How to .
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Auto Toll Stirs Public Opinion
By DR.. PETER }. sTEINcRoHN

Your automobile is a potential
destroyer. Keep remembering
this and you will live longer
The modern car deserves a seat
next to cancer and heart disease
as one of the great killers OF
mankind. I have been writing
about this for years and will
continue to do so until we 1ind
some true antidotes for unnec-
essary mass murders and car
mage on the road.
My mail shows that people are
becoming increasingly inter-
ested in the problem Of auto
accidents. For example, I re-
ceived this letter, from which
quote in part: Recently, in one
of your columns, you discussed
the great menace of today. 1t is
the automobile that kills and
mains. and the stupid brain and
body that is back of the present
daily carnage. Is there a way
to cut down the daily score?
Eyes, there is. And you said
lit yourself when you wrote: We
must keep hammering away at
the problem
Il can remember when it was
difficult to find a buyer for one
of the early models; now you
can't find parking space for a
car.
Little did the industry dream
that it was building a great
killer. However, the industry is
not to blame. unless it is in the
matter of failing to educate the
driver about an autos potential
dangers. Millions do not realize
it today, or they would not be
so prone to kill themselves. For
examples, booze gives the aver
age driver false power and he
drives amuck.

mate. Insurance companies have

Whatever we do in America,

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

REDEMPTION: Tim Hurst
one of the top umpires at the
turn of the century, always got
in the last word in a clash with
Ia player.
He was behind the plate in
one tight game between Wash
|ington and New York. In the
ninth inning. with New York
leading, 80, the Senators filled
the bases with two out. The
Washington second baseman, a
notorious umpire batter, came up
to bat.
With the count two and two,
the New York pitcher threw a
curve which looked like the game
ending strike. Hurst didn't see
it that way.
Ball three!!" he bawled.
In a flash, he was surrounded
by angry New York players.
Coolly he listened to their pro-
tests. Then he turned to the
Washington batter, and said:
Honestly now, what would
you have called that pitch?"
Although the decision had
been in his favor. the Senator
second baseman couldn't resist
this opportunity to cross up an
umpire.
II thought it was a perfect
strike" he said innocently.
Hurst didn't say a word, but
the steel in his eyes glistened
threateningly. When play was
the New York catcher
made a dash for the mound.
Waste this next PITCH" he
told the nurler. Don't throw it
near him. Do as 1
say. know what I'm doing"
The next pitch came in at
least Q feet high and a yard
wide of the plate. The batter
started to jog down to first. He
had taken just a few steps when
he heard Hurst below:
Strike three!"
Hurst faced the nonplused
batter and said sweetly:
Sorry I made that error be-
fore. Glad I was able to make it
up to you"

People Are Waking Up
There you have a thoroughly

The force of public opinion is
tremendous. 1t is for this reason
that Q car manufacturers have
been Incorporating safety devices

Top Reason
For Retiring

for retiring is that they're nc

Few who are in good health
retire because they want more
leasure or because they fee
they've worked long enough.
These are some Of the findings
Of a 1851 survey made of mer
who at the time were drawing
Social Security benefits. The full
survey results were released only
last year.
Whether a survey today would
show similar results is an open
question. Chances are it would
In their order of Importance
the survey showed these to be
the reasons men gave for re.
tirement:
Unable to work-40.8 per cent
Job discontinued - 20.5 pei

Reached company retirement
age-l0.7 per cent.
Considered unable to work BY
employer-6.6 per cent.
Didn't know or didn't remem-
Der why job lost-6.2 per cent.
Retired for miscellaneous rea-
sons-5.7 per cent.
4 Pct. Seek Work
Retired. but looking for work
a per cent.
Retired voluntarily in good
'health-3.8 per cent.
The men who said they re-
tired because they were unable
to work gave such reasons as
too old, too weak. too tired, sick
ness or accidents. The most
common reasons why men had
their jobs discontinued were re-
duction in employers staff, en-
ployer moved or went out of
business or employer reorganized
work.
Backing up the tendency of
men to retire only when they
were unable to work, were the
ages the survey showed for the
men when they retired. About
81 per cent of the men were sc
or older when they retired. And,
nearly 10 per cent were between
70 and rs. The median age at
retirement was 81.
Yet, most of these men could
have drawn social security pay
ments If they had retired at IS.
Whether they continued to work
after IS because they couldn't
live on their social security and
other retirement payments, the
survey didn't show.
Most Stay Retired
The youngest men, on the
average, who retired were those
who were required to do so be-
cause they had reached the
company retirement age. They
averaged IS. The Oldest, on the
average, we're the men who re-
tired because they were unable
to continue to work.
The survey also showed that
most men who start drawing
Social Security payments are
truly retired, but a few are later
re-employed. Only a fifth Of the
men ever worked full-time after
retirement. The survey didn't
show how long they continued
to work after their first retire.

The bulk Of the men who did
return to work we're the men
who had been dropped by Their
employer rather than those who
voluntarily retired.

none of them is ashamed, ever
when there are visitors, to SEE
my husband helping with the
dishes while they do nothing.
My husband helps quite a BIZ
and never complains, but I can
not help feeling that he must
resent having to do homework
after putting in hard day al
the shop. Certainly it is not fan
when the children could make
that unnecessary if they would
put in a half hour a day.
Not only do they not help out
but they are totally irresponsible
and uncooperative in their habits
at home. They leave their clothes
around wherever they please, they
never put their laundry away in
the hamper, and they will even
insist on carrying food into the
bedroom and never think of TAX
ing the remains away.
Whenever I try to argue with
them about this, my husband
either attempts to stop me or
takes their side. I feel that
could bring them in line if he
were to give me the slightest
support. He seems to prefer
making a kitchen drudge out

children the right way.

thing wrong. Our children see
what goes on in the other homes

say they are far better behaved
than most kids of their age in

to drive them into resentment
and rebellion. So many of the
youngsters spend little time at
home and tell their parents
nothing of their private affairs.

Bob has not found a satisfac-

cooperate. He takes all the
blame on himself because he is
not a big Garner, and he atones
by Furnishing himself with some
OF the kitchen drudgery.
The children may be as
basically good as Bob thinks
they are. but they could easily
be induced to be better. The
difficulty seems to be that Bob
really wants to punish himself.

Clubbing Makes Pullets
Lay Extra Eggs Free

CUTTING OFF COMBS and wattles,
an operation scientists call clubbing, of
White Leghorn pullets can give the
poultryman extra eggs free.
In Wyoming Experiment Station
trials, pullets laid up to 20 per cent
more eggs after clubbing without eat
ing additional feed. That means a free
bonus egg for every five laid before
clubbing.
George Davis, station poultryman,
says clubbing helps most in cold wealth
err when pullets slow down on the job.
Cold doesn't bother them if they lack
large combs and wattles.
To dub pullets cut off combs and
wattles with ordinary scissors when
birds are between and II weeks old
Bleeding is slight. The record shows
no death loss from the operation.

PoNItry
Winning Broilers
Average 4.9l Lbs.
By BOYD ELLIS

THE 1856 WYOMING Chicken-of-To-
morrow contest is now history. saw a
lot of good frying chicken during the
ten days it took to judge the birds this
year. There were Al entries judged in 10
counties of the state.
The contest this year was won by
Eddie Lowe, a 14-year-old All Club boy,
of Lowell, Wyoming, with his entry of
White Plymouth Rocks. The Is cock
erels which were judged had an average
weight of 491 pounds each. The birds
were well-feathered and were carrying
a large amount of flesh. The records
by Eddie show that the 100 birds ate
a total of 1000 pounds of feed and at
10 weeks had cost a little less than 68
cents each to produce. Eddy lost only
of the 100 chicks started This is a
good record for anyone. By the way.
Eddie is keeping the so pullets from this
brood for next years laying flock.
Second place in the contest went to
Bob Compton, another All boy of Sheri-
dan. His Is White Rock cockerels aver
aged 4.S7 pounds each. Bob raised 100
of his 102 chicks at an average cost of
about rs cents each. These 100 birds
also ate 1000 pounds of feed. This is
very good feed conversion figure.
Third place was taken by a group
of New Hampshires raised by Lynn
Griffin, a All girl, of Riverton. This
group of birds had an average weight
of 4.34 pounds. The 100 birds ate a total
of 1,O35 pounds Of feed with feed
cost of Sc cents per bird.
The general purpose of a contest of
this type is to impress upon the young
poultrymen the Importance of following
good management program. This pro-
gram should include securing the best
chicks available, good management
practices, and balanced feeding pro-
gram. Without combination of these,
it is almost impossible to make sue
cess with a broiler project.
Our records show that a lot of prog
ress has been made through this type
of contest during the past few years.
In 1855 the winning entry of Is birds
had an average weight of 425 pounds.
In 1913 there were two entries in the
contest with the top birds averaging
sos pounds in IL weeks. Since that time
the improvements in breeding, feeding
and management practices have made
it possible to produce larger and better
birds in a 10 weeks growing period
These future poultrymen are doing q
good job.
