From Nowhere
To No Place
THE LAST HERO. By Peter

THE LAST HERO. BY Peter
Denzer. Henry Holt g. Co.;
$685.
Some men are gifted to tell
stories we'll and some can only
construct aimless tales tenu-
ously bound by isolated erup-
lions Of brilliance.
"The Last Hero" has spo-
radio excellence in its trip
from nowhere to no place.
Peter Denzer can write and he
assemblies a sparkling SEN
tence here and there. But as
a story-teller. he is misem-
ployed here.
He develops no interest in
his loutish hero in the first
five chapters. The reviewer
was enticed only in a flash
back to achieve curiosity
about the parents from whom
the oaf sprang.
This is a dreary book, un-
redeemed by the recurring
phrases so sparsely sown. The
reader will find more in the
terse courtship Of the Jewish
doctor with the blond mid
western Gentle than ever
energies from their faceless
half-creed son.

Along Freedoms Road
BY RUTH PERRY

mocolitan and appearing almo,t
like a Northern city than other
cities in the South, has drawn to
itself a greater number of Uncle
Toms. These are the selfish and
expedient Negroe- who, behind
the scenes take orders from "Mr.
Charlie" while they talk of the
betterment and advancement of
their race in public. These Ne
groes (and thank goodness there
are not too many of them) no
more want the status quo to
change than to the members of
the White Citizens Councils.
When indignation comes, these
Negroes know that their true po-
sition will be known. Their 3d.
called power and influenra"'
among Negroes (and more dub
iously, among the Mr.. CharlieS)
would be deader than doornail.
There are also, to further con-
fuse the cituation, those Negroes
who, not being exactly Uncle
Toms, will call Cousin Toms
and Cousin Marys, for lack of a
better name. There people may
not work behind the scenes with
Mr.. Charlie, but perhaps even
worse, they are not doing one
thing constructive to advance
their race as whole, because they
are too busy making money and
thinking up new angles. These
people have achieved a certain
position in the Negro community,
have made money, and want to
make more. But always remem-
Der this - they want no changes
in the status quo. They don't
want indignation because they
don't want outside competition.
Uncle Tom and His Relatives
Must Go.
Uncle Tom and his relatives are
selfish, thoughtless, self-centered
people who use othens to maintain
their own position. While they are
relatively small part of the Ne
gro community, their influence is
large and permeates the thinking
and action of many Negroes.
Their negative, detrimental in
fluence makes the work a thou
sand times harder for those who
are trying to fight for first class
citizenship for all Negroes. The
situation is THU: Not only must
we fight Jim Crow, we must fight
Uncle Tom and all his relatives.
Next week / will try to give
some answers as to how we can
combat this unhealthy situation. .

A LITTLE FREEDOM Is
A DANGEROUS THING

Strangely enough, though, in
many instances, there does exist
fine inter-racial cooperation and
excellent inter-group relations
But it is this very thing that
would make a bus protest like
the one in Montgomery, very UNI
successful here. For it seems to
me that many Negroes believe
themselves to be freezer than
they really are. We could say that
Negroes have the appearance Of
freedom, but not the reality. And
unfortunately, this peculiar stu
alton has blinded the majority Of
NegroeE in this area to the dire
need for concerted and determ-
ined action in the fight for first
class citizenship.
In other Southern states, pure
necessity has given Negroes
challenge and they have risen to
1t. Jim Crow had such a strangle
hold on them that they had no
choice. 1t was either fight segre-
CATION or give UP entirely. Thus
in Alabama there wa1 the bus
protest. in South Carolina we had
one of the original school suits
started, and in Mississippi we
had the strong stand taken by Me-
groes in their fight for their right
10 vote.
q So perhaps, here in the Miami
area, a little freedom has seemed
like the full amount to many
people. But I am reminded of a
quotation from Thomas Paine,
probably the most tamous writer
for the cause of the American
Revolution. He said: "What we,
obtain too cheap, we esteem too
lightly: 1t L. dearnesS that gives
everything its value"

KING SPlNGARD MEDAL
WINNER

AT the 48th annual convention
of the NAACP to be held in De-
troit, June $3.50, the 42nd Spin
garn Medal will be pre- ented to
the Rev. DR.. Martin Luther King,
leader of the successful Mont
gomery, Ala, bus protest move
ment. AS the winner Of this
medal, DR.. King is recognized as
the outstanding Negro of the
year, throughout the United
States. I have often wondered
what luck DR.. King would have
in the Miami area. 1t is certain
that the circumstances and envi-
ronment are different in Alaba-
ma. Doen South State.
Jim Crow lives in Alabama in
much greater strength than in
Florida, for instance. Any d6via-
ton from the pattern Of segre-
cation is met with a hard-cored
resistance with all that this i'm
plies. Under these conditions, the
bus protest movement in Mont
gomery was triumph of lead
erShip, courage and determination.
MIAMI AREA DIFFERENT
The annual membership CAM
paign in the Miami area is just
drawing to a close. The response
thic year from the Negro COM
munity has been very bad. I at
tribute this to any number of
reasons. One Is a hangover from
the old days, stemming from the
old "slave psychology" (still with
us, unfortunately that causes
many Negroes thinking to be coll
ored by white supremacist threats
and intimidation. But another
reason bothers me much more.
Uncle Tom and his relatives are
still with us in full force. will
discuss this later on.
Florida does not quite come
within the category of a Deep
South ,ctate. Some sections in the
upcer parts of the state are still
bound rIgfdiy' in the segregated
pattern, but here in the Miami
area, peculiar situation exists.
Florida's economy is largely bas-
ed on tourism. Tourists flock here
from all over the United Statec.
Negroes come to Miami from other
Southern states to find work and
many eventually make their
homes here in this area. Many
residents, both White and Negro,
were originally from Northern
states. These all combine to give
to Miami an appearance of more
lIberality and freedom than act
ually exists.

Still Time To Apply Lime

Farmers who haven't already
put lime on their land can still
do the job, according to George
Vapaa, county agricultural agent.
Most vegetable and field crops
need lime because it supplies cal
cium and magnesium-and cor
reefs soil acidity. And probably
many soils in ,the county need
lime this year, since heavy rains
last year caused much lime to.
leach out of soils.
Lime is probably needed par
ticularly by asparagus, lima beans,
cabbage, broccoli, soybeans, and
possibly corn, he pointed out, al
though it's best to have soil test
ed to determine lime require
ments before any is applied. The
soil testing laboratory at the I'm
iversity of Delaware tests soil
free.
High magnesium (dolomitic)
limestone containing from 10 to
% per cent magnesium oxide is
the best form to use, the agent
said. The limestone may be plow-
ed down or drilled in when fer
tilizer is applied.
Lime can be put on soil any
time of year-and especially dur
ing early spring or fall. The
amount needed can be found
through a soil test, but most soils
need limestone every three to five
years. When other forms of lime
have been used, applications
should be made more often.
For advice on lining your land,
see the agent at the Kent Coun-
ty extension office, Post Office
Building, Dover.

Pasture Crop Needs Care

A grass crop for pasture needs
care just like a cultivated crop.
And George K. Vapaa, county
agricultural agent, offers some
management suggestions to grow
better pasture grasses.
First, make definite plans to
grow grass crops that fit your
land and farming system. Then
choose good grass varieties adapt
ed to the land and climate. Furn-
ish the plants with recommended
amounts of fertilizer.
Conserve and use available wat
er so the plants get the right
amounts of water at the right
times. Eliminate weeds, brush,
rodents, insects, and other pests
that compete with the grass
plants for food and water or that
destroy the plants.
Craze or NOW the grass crops
so that enough leaf surface is
left during the growing season to
manufacture the food necessary
for rapid growth.

ture land, contact the agent at
