Wisnng patrons and friends Happy And Prosperous

We are entering the new year in an unsettled world
Even three of the greatest nations that been
~ allies, England, France and the United States are
somewhat at variance The Middle East Continues to he
the Under box attention being conferred Egypt At the
present time President Eisenhower is considering legis
atlon for counterng Communist aggression in the Middle
East ON the other hand Russia has served notice
will not stand idly by watching the United States fill the
Middle East power vacuum.
SO there Perhaps the United Nations will be
able to solve the problem Let hope so.
Now, speaking nationally, blessed to be living
IN America, undoubtedly the leading nation in the world
today.
Naturally there and will also be some difficulties
TO surmount; and we have to keep fighting them.
The Supreme Court of the United States has handed
down two very important decisions on civil rights Name
Desegregation of public Schools and desegregaton of
In spite of strong opposition, several schools e
been integraed Some Southern States including Florida
have not yet complied with the law, but continue to
proong, to attempt to defy Indignation in the schools
Others pass laws to keep segregated schools.
The high courts ruling cutting out segregation on
buses In Alabama ended the boycott that city and
form of Indignation buses goes on
In state, the bus boycott at Tallahassee has
ended Negroes began riding Buses but white people
endeavorng to stir trouble and Governor Leroy
Collins influenced to order the buses off the street
because of sOmeem minor incidents
The deep South will fight hard possible to main
tain segregation, there will be trouble that is to be
expected; but segregation is doomed and it will go.
There too many Southern intelligent people, if
not liberal enough, fair enough godlike enough,
hope, to realize that in spite of tradition Negroes have
the right to ride in seat any public vehicle
if they pay the fare The applies golf links
etc.
Naturally it is not the business of these people to rise
up WHOLE and fight for the rights of Negroes Many
of them fighting but they fighting for what they
would like to be their rights We must fight for what
know rights.
Here is where the National Association for the Ad
vancement of Coored People in Say whatever you
may against it. You have got to admit that it is the Cham
pOn of Negroes Rights 1t deserves our support.
The reason there is much opposition to this organ
cation u.s. it is the power behind Kill tiff and
will be greatly weakened.
The NAACP endeavors to fight fairly Not with
bullets by stoning homes and breaking windows not
by setting to peoples homes Such things DONE
but by whom? They done by members of the
advanced race by people who have been freed from
slavery less than 100 years
The NAACP fights legally through the courts of the
United States. carries out the pledge of allegiance to
the flag of the Republic One Nation ndivisibe under
God with liberty and justice for all.
Our prayer is that during the year 1857 segre-
gatiOniStS will have change of heart that they will look
more kindly upon U.S. and cause, and that they will
ponder the pledge of the United States and act according
ly.
Again wish everyone prosperous New Year.
