In catching up with some read
ing from the first of the year
came across some interesting in
formation about the great grand
father of Edna Mae Holly Rob
inSon who was recent visitor in
our city. Bishop James THEODORE
Holly, an American Negro priest
of the Episcopal Church settled
in Haiti along with a number OF
emigrantS from the u. S. in 1861.
He was consecrated bishop of
what was known as L'EgliSe Or
thodox Apostolique Haitienne in
1874. He worked thoroughly ana
successfully until his death in
1911 when the Church in Haiti
was taken over as an Episcopal
Missionary District. This w a S
found in Dawley's "T'he Episco-
pal Church and its Work."

BY DOROTHY SANFORD

- S~S~S~S~~~~~~~~--~>~>-~
For the next stwo weeks, hhe
most important events in the
general area will be those con-
cerned with some type of school
- personnel and students. Streets
are crowded with parents and
children buying cclotheS and var
iouS types of school supplies for
the opening of schools in Miamil
College students - freshmen and
upper clasSmen are picking up
those last things to complete
preparation for colleges in many
widely , scattered areas in the
United States with the greatest
numbers enrolling in the three
colleges - four if we include Ed
ward Waters Junior College -
in Florida.
Received a card from New
York written in Spanish from a
clsSsnnate, Ricardo Twine. This
reminded us that Spanish classes
will be offered again this year.
Do hope that Sra. Mckenzie of
Booker T. Washington High will
teach a class again this year.

A call from one of BrownSville's
many attractive grandmothers,

He told Negro leaders at Los

in favor of desegregation. but
that it would have to be brought
about gradually and not with
troops or bayonetS."
I'VE have to proceed gradually
in these matters. You do not
upset the tradition of genera

His references to troops and

question from Negro clergyman,
the Rev. George Cof1eld, as to
whether Mr.. Stevenson would
use Federal might to enforce
desegregation in schools and
travel.
THAT would be a great mis-
take. 1t would be a revival OF
civil war" Mr.. Stevenson said
