Gives $4,000
To College

An alumnus of Jackson State
College who played baseball at
the College during the learner
years" when the College had diff
Guilty in sponsoring any type of
activity, has presented $50 dona-
ton to the institution for the pur-
pose of improving it's athletic pro-
gram. Dean H. A. Wilson of AL
corn College, who mailed the check
to President Jacob L. Reddix recen-
tly, was member of a basketball
team which secured uniforms on the
eve of participating in their first
basketball tournament. Perhaps it
was sheer ability or perhaps it
was the inspiration by the Spank
ing new" uniforms which carried
their team to the tournament fin
ais.
DR.. Wilson made his first such
Contribution at the 1855 Athletic
Banquet at which time he vowed
to make similar contribution an
nually. Wilson was the first mem
Der of his team to attend the BAN
quet, Observation-Disclosures
as a guest of honor. In writing
President Reddix, he expressed a
sincere desire to increase this an
nual donation. 1t goes without say
ing that college officials hope that
n any other sons and daughters
of Jackson State College will fol-
low his example.

What Not ToDo

Inst like YOU I've been reading about the visit of
Bulganin and Khrushchev to Britain 1t has been In
terestng story and it has moral What not to do
if you want to make friends.
True they didn't do so badly at the diplomatic level.
But good diplomat is trained dissembler or as rim
ester said Diplomacy is to do and the nastest
thing in the incest way.
But when it came right down to talking things out
with the average man, they fuffed-and badly.
The went Britain to convince the British that the
Soviet was and just wanted to be friends
They beamed on the people. They shook hands with
these who have mania for greeting ceebrtleS lhey
patted the children the head.
But when it time to sit down with the Labor
Party executives at friendly dinner they missed their
lines completely First, they blew up at simple re-
mark which any Englishman would have taken with
sense of humor
And then Khrushchev - who there to make
friends-told the men whose homes had been bombed,
whose families had been geared to from the days
when Russia ally of Hitler, that Russia had won
the singlehanded, that everyone was wrong but
them Such smart to make friendS
When the labor wanted to ask about missing
Social Democrats, they were met with datrlbe Even
Nye Bevn often called apoogis for the Soviet got
mad And when it all through, they couldn't why
the British didn't believe they only wanted peace and
willing to settle every important question by peace
full discussion
Now leaving Communism and the Soviets big Peace
Lie out of it altogether the moral of the fasco is
this If you want to convince a that you
sonabe and peaceful then be willing to talk things out
You don't have to give convictions nor accept
him to change his, but you have to prove your "rea-
sonabeness' by willingness to listen.
Don't hit at his beliefs Don't claim all wisdom unto
yourself. Don't brag And above all, do keep your

full school year Friday hight, May
IL, under the supervision of the
veteran instructor, Mr.. B. G. Rain

High School during one of its per-
iods of greatest progress, from
1945-1951, and whose record at the
Myrtle Hall and Higgins High
School at Clarksdale, Mississippi
as instructor of English from 1851
1866 brought honor and respect to
that school in the field of English.
His leaving both schools has caused
wide spread regret both among par
ents and students.
The eleven graduates, five girls
and six boys, from the Winston
School not only brought glory and
honor to themselves but to their
school by scoring the highest aver
age in Bolivar County in a coun-
ty-wide examination administered
by Mississippi Vocational College
instructors.
The highest possible score was

Moderation Wins
In Florida

1t is gratifying to us to note
the results of the Florida Demo-
cratic Primary recently held for
the governorship. There were sew
eral candidates in the contest and
same held what we consider ex-
treme views bordering on defiance
of the Supreme Court decision on
segregation. But incumbent Gov
ernor Leroy Collins won handsome
ly with a moderate position on seq
regation. He admittedly was OPP
posed to the court action on school
segregation but has not taken any
extreme position.
We are reliably informed that
the winner of the nomination
which is tantamount to election
in that state had the support Of
the overwhelming majority of the
Negro voters in the Sunshine State.
This fact confirms that we have
observed in other southern states,
iflIiudilS tIiS OilCs oo a VIC viz
members of our race have shown
the intelligence to support those
candidates which are most toler-
ant in their racial views.
In spite of a defeat of tolerant
candidates now and then we must
continue the policy of supporting
principle rather than expediency
and sooner or later our votes plus
a sufficient number of white votes
will form a majority that will put
politics in this section in a higher
plane and place this section in a
more influential position in ma
tional affairs.
Reports state that Governor Col
Inns as the Democratic nominee will
have opposition in the November
election by Republican candidate
for the governorship. And while
we congratulate the present gov
ernor in his victory in primary we
at the same time think it is good
thing that there will be a contest
by the two major political parties
in the general election. Our firm

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: One Of the favorite text
# our backwoods preachers and one
which is dwelled upon often by the
more classical brethren of the
Cloth, is, GAS THE EAGLE STIRS
HIS NEST" and many a time l
have thrilled at the excess verbage
(known and unknown) required for
it delineation, successful or unsuc-
cessful, when have been fortu-
nate or unfortunate to be in pew
when the Reverend Doctors of the
Pulpit has been moved by the spirit
to select this Master Text. Lately,
Parish Streeters, all of whom pro-
claim some deep knowledge, if not
adherence to the Bible, when talk
ing Of the great unprecedented
strokes Of history, such as the re-
cent Brownell's Civil Rights Pro-
gram, are likely to be heard to
make a rather all conclusive an
alysis of the whole world situation
by remarking knowingly, Yea THE
OLE EAGLE is SURE STIRRING
HIS NEST, a Conclusion without
too much reluctance, / find myself
always willing to agree. Whether
deliniated by the Blackwood Bro
theirs whose fervor leads out beyond
the English and logic of the schools
or the more classical Brothers of
the Cloth, who may be otherwise
correct but more lacking in spirit
and fervor, 1 have always noted
they all dwell long on the point
of the MOTHER EAGLE prepar-
ing the young for the time when it
comes to STIR THE NEST. A
PREPARATION THAT is GIVEN
TO THE YOUNG EAGLE so HE
CAN FLY ALONE WHEN THE
NEST is STIRRED. Since the re-
port of the Brownel's Civil Rights
Program, have been noticing how
gleefully all of Aunt Haggar's
Chilluns speak of that time when,
as the sermon goes, the Old nest
kin be stirred and the young
eagles will be required to attain to
heights alone and unassisted, with
the rest of the eagles. One of the
most Ominous remarks l heard this
past Saturday night when we gath
cred around our Fish and Beer
when somebody brought up the
eagle. With look of doubt in his
ewes, one Parish Streeter ups and
says, Brother, We's ready for the
Eagle to stir, all we needs is LOTS
MORE PRACTICE.
