Hello! / always feel that
it is a privilege to talk to you,
my readers, and do enjoy
doing so. Last week, l told
you that / would mention
some of the things which |
felt would be of some advan-
tage to us if we considered
them. Read my No. l sugges-
ton.
We are constantly persuad-
ing ourselves that we are
being maligned by other ra-
cial groups. Pehaps we are,
but am strongly of the opin-
ion that we are largely re-
sponsible for it. Take, for
instance, the confusion in our
government which has been
caused by the deliberate mas
sive resistance" as expressed
by Senator Harry F. Byrd
the endorsement of Governor
Stanley's mo Indignation
school program" of 1856; the
efforts of Att. Gen. j. Lind
say Almond, Jr., who, accord
ing to the news releases, adj
mitted using any legal
means within his power to
circumvent the Supre m {
Courts Ruling on Integra-
ton"
The question arises, what
can we do about it? And there
is only one answer. Whether
we would admit it or not, al
politicians are strategiSts
They must dance, when the
piper plays, and the voters
are the pipers. They want tC
stay in office, and they, there
fore dance to the tune, which,
they feel will get them nearer
their goal. So, there is only
one weapon at our disposal
1t is our ballot. One dollar
and fifty cents a year quail
flies you to say who" shall
speak for you. There should
not be a single Negro in Vir-
ginia who is not qualified to
vote. If you have been in
different to politics before,
it is now time that we become
alert. If we have no pride OF
race for ourselves, invest five
dollars (S5.0O) IN the name OF
posterity (your children and
your children's children). We
can determine what is to be
said and who is to say it, if
we pay our taxes, register
and vote, solidly, for the man
or men who pledges to repre-
sent our interests. Your vote
makes them listen to you.

The River

Federal engineers have sounded
the alarm that Washington may
be threatened with a shortage of
that most basic of all community
needs-water.
Only few years ago, the same
engineers predicted with confidence
that the broad Potomac assured
the Capital of adequate water, at
least to the year 1000. The threat
has grown with the likelihood that
the expanding suburbs will tap the
river in greater and greater degree.
This month, the Army Engineers
will ask Congress for about SOS 900
to study the only practicable way
TO wipe out the threat-dams on
the Potomac to store water. Dams
mean flooding, and the formation
OF artificial lakes. In them, planners
see numerous possibilities for river
recreational facilities. But some
property owners will oppose mum
dation of their land: others will
protest changes in the rugged nat
ural Potomac gorge.
The biggest threat seen by plan
ners. however. is pollution of the
precious water supply, either
through sewage or heavy industri-
alization. The attraction of tax rev.
enues produced by new develop
ments Of all kinds along the river,
ofncials believe. will be a major
Battle-Ground in the years just
ahead.

A less sweeping (but infinitely
faster-moving) kind Of renewal"
meanwhile. is taking place through
the private rehabilitation of indi-

efforts are spurred by the dramatic
