In the early lS20's some pro-
spectors, mainly Frenchmen, test
ing the navigable streams flow

the Mississippi river, turned their
canoes INTO the morh of the
Arkansas river. and found good

Eagerly exploring territory adj
jacent to the vaious lands much
higher than any they had seen
since leaving the Mississippi
river. Making one Of their period
ical stops, they proceeded to
mount th1 hill or bluff. noting
that approximately ninety per-
cent Of the trees covering this
bluff were pine.
Making friends with the few
struggling Indian natives Of this
section. these pioneers decided to
establish another trading post q.
despite the fact that only three
days before they had crossed a
heavily travelled trail at a
spot known as Arkansas Post
The first camping spot selected
was. on the north and east side
Of the river opposite the great

bluff which would give a grand
view OF the surrounding territory,
they quickly decided to crose the
river to the bluff side. A few of the
group remained at this camp site.
and two years later, had made
quite a respectable clearing Of
ground, and with the help Of in
deniured and free-lance fugitive

Many incidents occurred TO pre-
pare this thriving townsite for
Incorporation. which became an
established fact in 1893.
Meanwhile, small Catholic

N...lll.ssu rum paks onc
ton, one questions the fairness
of forcing these Colored Citlzens
to accept what they don't want.
Ii a little group of paid agitators
succeeds in forcing ats wall upon
these people. 1t appears 10 me
that they should at least be given
an opportunity to be heard.
Right now the southern Negro
Is in a better ipot edueationally,
politically and economically than
the Negroes any place in the
world.
This present movement TO end
segregation In the schools Is
merely the beginning of a well
laid plan to completely end ses!-
rcgation in everything in the
south. II this happen.l the Negro
will be thrown into direct COM
petition with the white race. and
our business institutions will
crumble.
"A group goes back to court
declaring that the Negro Is not
satisfied with equal facilities,
that the separate but equal law
is unconstitutional, that nothing
less han indignation will do. That
doesn't seem fair 10 me"
These are a few Of the quota
tons from literature distributed

tons Bureau, headed by two
Arkansas Negroes, according TO
information from Batesville which
derive considerable revenue from
begging white people.

EAST STATES SWELTER IN HEAT WAVE
(Bu The Associated Press)

Another day of hot and humid weather appeared likely for wide areas in the eastern half of the nation today after a weekend of scorching temperatures.
 Deaths attributed to the heat and drownings mounted. At least 39 persons drowned as millions flocked to lakes and streams seek ing relief from the oppressive heat.
 There was some possibility of a little relief in northern midwest areas but none in the sun-baked areas in the middle Atlantic states southward thru Georgia.
 The eastern seaboard, from Virginia to New York, sweltered in the summers hottest weather yesterday Thermometers bubbled past the 100-degree mark in many cities, including Baltimore, Wash ington and Philadelphia
 The 103 reading at Baltimore was near the record 1O4 for the date. Washington sizzled in 1O1 heat. The millions in New York City felt just as hot with a torrid 97.3 degrees, and in Wilmington, Del, the, mercury registered 102.
 Readings in the 90s were gen. eral in many other sections of the country and high humidity added to the discomfort.
 A golfer collapsed and died on a course near Chicago and in New York man collapsed and died after a tennis match.
