Urge Priority
For Flu Vaccine

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 90.
The nations state health officers
have recommended that Asian flu
vaccine be administered on a .pri-
ority basis to assure maintenance
of essential community services in
event of epidemics.
The Association of State and
Territorial Health Officers of the
United States asked the U. S
surgeon general yesterday to rec
ommend that physicians give pri-
ority to three groups:
(1) Doctors and other medical
and health workers, (2) individ-
uals necessary to maintain other
basic community services" and 81

with other special medical prob.
lens.
Not Spelled Out
The association did not spell out
who should be listed in priority
group No. 2. It said that GROUP
might vary from one locality to an
other.
The health officers suggested
that federal, state and local gov
ernments establish advisory com
mittees to consider which occupa
tions are necessary to keep com
munity services functioning.

"As ministers we share a heavy

Reaction from segregationists
was mixed.
Atty. Amis Guthridge, a key
figure in several court moves to

had no comment.

TEACHERS CONVENTION SETS
SIGHTS ON Sc, ooc BASIC WAGE

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 2 - School
boards and state legislatures deal
ing with organized school teachers
now have an inkling of what to ex
pect in the near future.
Specific collective bargaining
aims-better salaries and working
conditions and other benefits -
were outlined at the annual con-
vention of the American Fedora
ton of Teachers held here.
During coming months, union
teachers will negotiate for basic
salaries beginning at $4,000. They
will ask for shorter working weeks.
They will see'l terure laws in the
16 states which offer no such pro-
lection and urge other labor or
CARNATIONS to support such laws.
Union Methods Backed
The 41-year-old organization is
affiliated with the AFL-CIO, and
it's more than $4,000 teacher men,
bers consider themselves part of
the labor movement. Carl F. Megel,
its national president, is natural
science teacher in Chicago.
He contends that labor union
techniques appear necessary" to
correct salary and other conditions
which he says are "major factors
in the current shortage of 400, 900
degree teachers" A key aim of
the union, he stated, is to extend
current membership and to effect
collective bargaining agreements
between local school boards and

Where Can You Girls Get Jobs

Last week we got number of calls from girl grad
yates of Laner High School asking for jobs typist
and for general office work which led to rejecting
the question: where Negro girls with such educa
ton qualification get job?
We Immediately rule out the job of school teacher
for the first reason that many of the high school grad
yates will not be able to get to college to qualify
school teachers and many Of those who do get to college
to qualify school teachers will not be able to get
teaching job for the simple that there is not
enough schools to supply job for every girl college grad
yates
Applying our business in the situation, last
week gave job to of this years Lanier High
School graduates in office and with the sound of
the young voices seeking jobs still fresh in minds
that thought to mind on the number of girls
that would need and be forced to give jobs if every
Negro home in Jackson and its environs who take daily
newspaper would make it their business to also buy the
JACKSON ADVOCATE. We are certain that we would
have to employ at least two more girls.
Regardless of the way the winds appear to be
blowing, from many to the opportunity for
office work for Negro girls is going to have to be fur
shed by Negro business, and such opportunities will be
made available in proportion such businesses sup
ported by Negro people themselves.
With the high schools now beginning to turn out
girls fitted for such work, where they to get jobs
appears to of the greatest challenges to the
Negro community and it's organizations.

1900 Delegates At
anne Youth Meet

waco, Texas The 85th Re-
ligious Education Institute and
Youth Congress of the Texas Con-
ferences of the AME Church saw
many standing records tumble as
1890 delegates attended the four
day meeting, SAP attain perfect
class attendance records, and 352
youth delegates participated in the
youth rally activities.
Beginning with the opening SER
mon by Bishop Carey A. Gibbs of
Alabama, the congress never ceas-
ed in it's intensive examination of
social conditions and to demon
strate the responsibilities of Chris
tons in national development.
Bishop Gibbs asserted that, "the
wide adoption of double standards,
the Christian idealistic approach,
and the secular realistic method,
are leading US away from the pat
tern God has given for world pro-
gress."
"Too many people have no plans
and no programs for plans" Bish-
op Gibbs added, "and if the church
does not offer these people her
plan, they will create an atmos-
phere that will imperil our entire
nation"
Bishop H. Thomas Primm ex-
pressed alarm at the large num-
Der of church members who ac-
copied Christianity only as a creed
and not as a way of life. "Too
many of u.s." he argued, "are con-
tended to sit down and let the
church run herself. The church
that ceases to think of expansion
is dead"
"Only Christian workers." Bish-
op Primm said, "can carry for
ward the program of the church
and the church members must face
their responsibilities of making
every community take on a Christ
ian aspect"
Rev. John D. Bright, Pastor Of
Mother Bethel AME Church, Phil
adelphia, Pennsylvania, and DR.. S.
S. Morris Sr. pastor of Coppin
AME Church Chicago, Illinois, both
insisted that the Christian men,

to put their principles into every
policy this nation adopts.
DR.. Bright observed that the
smaller nations of the world fear
US because they cannot understand
the gulf between our words and
out deeds. "People are crying for
medicine" DR.. Bright said, land
what they need is meditation. Peo-
pie are reaching for pills when they

BLACK BOURGEOISE: That's
the title of book bout Aine Hag-

DR.. E. Franklin Frazier, McIyer
Award winner, chairman of the
department of sociology at Howard
University. He says that US "Big
Folks" frustrated in attempting to
gain status in the White World"
are living in a world of make
Believe" and says, "when we look
behind the world of make believe,
we discern the insecurities, frus-
trations, and self hatred of the
Negro Middle Class. The author
mentions Conspicuous consump-
tion"-the unnecessary, excessive
purchases Of cars, furs, clothing
etc., as definite indications OF frus-
tration and insecurity. In another
place he says, Having become less
isolated and thus more exposed to
the contempt and hostility Of the
white world, the new "Black Bour-
geoisie" with more money at its
disposal has sought compensation
in the things money can buy" and
concludes by saying, "The Black
Bourgeoisie,' in general is not SUI
fering persecution but nothingness
because when Negroes attain mid
die class status, their lives gen.
orally lose content and signifi-
cance." Yes, Sir, this book by a

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: This season of the yeal
always reminds me of the days
when was just pup-cub having
saved up all the nickles l could
get hold on during the summer
so / could buy a full supply of
colored pencils and one of those
red-white-and-blue erasers in order
to feel completely ready at the first
tapping of the bell over at Smith
Robertson Now that it is far
away and getting farther away
when l sum it all up, in my
thoughts there is always something
that l think longer about than
nickles, colored pencils and red
white-and-blue erasers. What
think about longer is that half
inch thick eighteen rule that was
standard equipment for teachers
in my day, used not only to meas
ure lines and squares but more of
ten to measure the seats of pants
whenever there was guilt or sus-
picion of guilt evidenced in the
class room and especially when
after due effort on the part of the
teacher there appeared reluctance
to master the time tables up to
twelve or repeat that poem YER
batim about, "The Cow Jumped
Over The Moon" All that for me
is something to think about see
ing that Aunt Haggar's Chilluns
has been letting their youngerns
get out of hand for so long that
parents and teachers and nobody
else can do anything with 'em.
;. What l lay it to is them new
education philosophers with that
talk about free conduct, or free
will or independent conduct for
chillun which make you feel
like saying that it don't mean
nothing to open the schools if the
kids are going to be able to set
up in the school room and do just
as they please with the teachers
to do anything in the first place
cause hereof Late they've been
taught to do nothing, and on the
other hand if they try to knock
some sense in the brats head like
they ought to do, the parents, who
amt got as much sense as the brats
they send to school will be over
at the school the next morning,
if not with three policemen, with

Death
Seen Easing

The death Of Senator Nc
earthly should help the Republic
cans in the battle for control Of
the Senate in 1858 to the extent
that 1t removes the prospect OF
a bitter fight between the mod
ern and conservative wings Of
the party in Wisconsin for the

Any such contest will now
take place this fall in . special
election. which Republican Gov,
Thomson is expected to call.
There may still be O. contest
between the two shaded Of Re

IL so 1t will come q full year
ahead of the 1858 campaign.
And 1t is not as likely to divide
Republicans nationally to the
extent that 1t would have next
year with Senator Mccarthy
lighting to retain his seat.
II q Republican wins the spe-
cial election this fall he would
have the inside track for the full
term next year. regardless Of
which wing Of the party he rep
fesents.
Democrats Have Advantage
But aside from this easing Of
the party tension in Wisconsin,
the death Of Senator Mccarthy
does not change substantially the
fact that the Republicans face
an uphill struggle to win control
of the Senate next year.
Most observers rate the Demo-
Gratis as decided favorites to
keep control of the Senate
