Why would you join the House of

Yet it is damnation to the soul of
any man
The devil will make man lie to God
When he knows that lier can't

No lier can enter Gods kingdom
But the devil will take all liers in
And keep his hell always burning

And a good fire always on hand.

Yet you don't know the value OF

You are spending your money for

And filling up hell with your souls,
God wants me to turn you to Jesus
With a message to plain to turn

Desegregation: AS Schools Open

Public schools in the Southland elsewhere in the
nation opening the third school year since the Su-
preme Courts antisegregation decision. 1t finds the
white South overwhelmingly dislikng that decson-at
the least, hoping to defer its consequences until new
accommodations can evolve; at the most, hoping to
nullify the decision altogether
These attitudes have found current expression in
two FORMS in the outbreak of violence and in the design
ing of legislative bypasses.
Violence has not erupted in the Deep South proper
for the simple that Indignation at all has been
attempted there Nor has it been widespread in border
states.
Riots have occurred, for the most part, near the
borders between different southern cultures and where
district federal judges had thought attitudes might
permit desegregation.
Clinton, for instance, lies the boundary hence
perhaps the friction line between mountain and "old
plantation Tennessee; Mansfield within the where
southern" East Texas approaches western West Tex

local fanatic and local hoodlum and draws in the "for

This small Tennessee town and Tennessee state Of
ficals have exempifed, also, what ought to be self
evident: that people who disapprove of desegrega
ton, at this time ever do not ipso facto approve
of violence Texas officials have drawn similar line at
Mansfield.
Alabama, North Carolina, and Virginia have taken
about to take legislative action designed to by
pass, at least for the present the Supreme Court de-
The Virginia device sets up a road block to de-
segregation by use of the public purse. 1t would with

To the extent the principle of voluntary choice en-

vices will stand up enthusiastically under their own
weight only time and experience will tell.
Much is lacking in the present situation. Organz-

offices in the Medical Building
raised a fund of $1,000 for the
little 3-year-old girl, Emma Taylor,
who was seriously burned a few
days ago, who said she wanted a

in Jackson who've got good pay
