Perhaps You
Need Glasses
For Hunting

One Sportman dentist wears
prescription hunting glasses with
the optical centers of the lens
ground way in the upper left
hand corner.
That's where l look when
sight my rifle" he explains. "And
| want that to be perfect as pos
sible.'
Spectacle lenses, especially in
strong powers, produce the most
exact focus in one small area =
the optical center. Vision through
any other part of the lens may not
be perfect. In ordinary seeing,
this is not so important because
the head is moved and eyes keep
pretty well in the lens center.
When taking aim, the hunter
never looks through the center
Of his glasses, he tits his head
and angles his sight in the corner
Of his glasses. Placing the best
focus Of the lens in that spot, as
in the dentists glasses, can give
more accurate hunting vision.
But, that isn't all. Last time

Do Negroes Hove Rights?-
Almost Another American Myth

1t is imperative now that responsible CT
tizens, irrespective of color or creed, talk
about race problems in their communities
and state. In resolving this crisis over public
schools it is vital to the honor, peace and
progress of the state that there be mutual
respect goodwill and intelligent cooperation
between our white and colored races.
In the promotion of these detectives it is
up to the white people to lead the way be-
cause Of economic and political power are
on their side
Their first move should be to do every
thing they can to Danish forever what is left
Of the cruel and absurd notion that there
could possibly be any stigma attached to any
human being because of race, color or other
physical characteristics The Creator never
stigmatizes anybody
The next step our white people should
take to help create a wholesome climate for
tolerance, justice and interracial cooperation
is to try to convince everybody especially
themselves, that in democratic America no
citizens rights are melted out on a basis of
color, creed, occupation education, intelli-
gence, wealth or social position. Human dig
nifty, freedom, justice and civil rights are in
Invisible = all our citizens must have them
equally or none can ever be secure in them
All our people, colored and white, need
also to understand the vast difference be-
tween civil-legal rights and personal-social
privileges. In the latter field discrimination
is not a bad word nor an evil practice In
our personal affairs and social relationships
we all discriminate and, indeed, must do 50
to get along.
In these relationships background, color
OF skin and other factors can and frequently
do make practical differences which must be
considered. Recognition of such differences
does not reflect on anybody. Difference is
not stigma, nor sin. 1t is natural and neces-
sary. free society is full of differences and
benefits enormously from them.
1t is violently contradictory in free ma
ton for anyone to insist that white supre-
macy" or any other sort of racial "supre-
macy be supported by law The only sup
remacy that can properly be a part of our
government is the supremacy Of individual
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1956-11-22

freedom, justice fair and equal treatment
under law. Interracial conferences on segre-
cation problems that do not start from that
basis can accomplish no lasting good.
History and our own experiences teach
us that attempts to force the mixing of the
races in some areas Of life, ignoring the Gus
toms and preferences of the people involved,
gress in these fields must come sowly and
naturally by mutual acceptance or the great
gains already achieved could suffer a severe
setback or be lost altogether
By sensible cooperation on fair and e.
quail voluntary basis our white and citizens
can "have their cake an eat it too" in public
schools, public recreation, in their churches
and in many other fields
Because our Negro citizens are minority
group with relatively little political or &C.
onomic power they would be severely pen
allied in the "private enterprise" develop
ments in all the fields under discussion
Our white citizens have delayed much
too long in sharing, policy making response
bilities in civil, educational and government
tai affairs with colored fellow citizens. For
instance, the case for public school segrega-
ton is greatly weakened without proper Ne
gro representation on school boards and COM
missions.
The best insurance for a segregated pub
lie school system, voluntarily maintained,
would be interrogation on the Official level,
giving Negroes a proportionate voice in the
operation Of seperate schools, which most Of
them, sincerely as the whites, genuinely
desire. Furthermore, there should be a pro-
per ratio of Negro representation on the Of
fetal level in other governmental agencies
local and state.
Should disasters take place in this con-
nection all informed people surely must rea-
lie which race would suffer most grevious-
ly. The Negro race has been handicapped
far too much already. Our colored and white
citizens owe it to themselves and to each
other to cooperate intelligently in peaceful
and constructive evolution rather than to al
low their current racial difficulties to pre-
cipitate chaos and revolution.

Studies by traffic engineers show
saving in time of at least 80
minutes for drivers using the
Causeway route in preference to
the road around the Lake through
Slidell, La. Distance from Petal
to New Orleans via the Lake
Pontchartrain Causeway is lis
miles.
The Causeway is a straight thor

route around the lake carries traf-
fic through congested urban areas

central business section of New
