renewal of interest in FILA f.

Knapp Guest of
Garden Club

Douglas M. Knapp from the

nent met with the Friendship
iarden and Civic Club in their
ocular meeting last Thursday
afternoon to demonstrate, as well
IS illustrate horticulture from the
ornamental angle.
All ladies expressed high inter-
est during Mr.. Knapp's lecture
while showing films on trees
plants and vines. The members
brought many rare plants to the
meeting for Identification which
Mr.. Knapp skillfully named. He
also answered many questions
about plants which flooded him
from all directions. Mr.. Knapp
has offered his service to the club
once per month. His. next topic is
the preparation and care of soil
and plants.
The scene of this most enter
tanning as we'll as informative af-
fair was the elaborate home of
Rev. and Mrs. Willie Gamble ON
48th terrace in Brownsville.
Plans are completed and invi-
tations are in the mail for the an

The ATTACK ON THE
.NAACP

The possibility that the current
attack on the NAACP may result
in temporary set back in race
relations, cannot be lightly dis
missed. Then we noted that most
Of the substantial gains of recent
years have come through the
NAACP, the very thought that its
usefulness may he curtailed by
the current effort of the Negro
philes' attempts to throttle the Ne
gro's fighting arm, is distressing.
The current attempt to identi-
fly the NAACP with communistic
connections is Of course prepos-
ferrous, but dangerous neverthe-
less. There is always the danger
that in attempting to kill off the
NAACP, its enemies may "over-
kill it and win sympathizers ii
never had before.
1t is difficult to imagine how
the current fight can do other
than strengthen the public's con-
fdence in the loyalty of those who
support the NAACP. In other
words the current attempt to
identify the NAACP with COM
munism just goes to show how
hard-preSsed for argument, are
the foes Of the Negroes advance.
If the attack goes far enough
it will win a favorable public
opinion which after all is THE
final determiant of race, relations
in the nation and the world. Sla-
very was once deeply entrenched
IL this country, but there arose a
mighty public opinion against it,
ana it passed out.
The work of the AbolitioniSts
was centered about making for
public opinion, unfavorable to
slavery, ana wnen this opinion
had been formed, slavery died a
natural death. It is well for us
to remember that a long time
after the Abolitionists had made
their stand, slavery continued as
a way of Southern life.
Why the long waiting? The
'waiung was tor the rise Of public
opinion unfavorable to slavery.
Lyncning as a Southern way Of
lite had to wait dor the generation
of a public opinion that would
not Tolerate this form Of desen-
eracy, even in the South with its
hang over from slavery. A slowly
developing public opinion drove
the Iyncners out CT business, which
goes to snow why we have to wait
SO long for these needed reforms.
We have to wait on the rise
of a righteous public poinion be-
fore we can advance the cause OF
Righteousness in the land. Just as
it took the rise of righteous
public opinion to Danish slavery
and lynching, so will it take the
rise of a public opinion unfav-
orable to legal segregation to

So the chiefs adopted an alternative plan.
Two hundred warriors would be sent aboard
the schooner to make friends with the stran-
GERS. Al signal they would seize the crew and
pitch them into the sea. This idea was sub
mitted to the god AMT, who showed his
pleasure.
VIII Lay, on the other hand, tried to
calm the natives fears. claiming that the ship
could not have come from America, because
unlike the Globe it had only two masts. But as
he spoke, boat was lowered and headed for
the beach hundred yards away. Promptly he
was whisked out Of sight and into the garnet Of
q hut, where 20 women crowded around to
hide and watch him.
and wandered about beneath the boy, but he
was prevented from attracting their attention
by his alert guards.
Then at niehtfall he was spirited across the
lagoon to a distant islet. He assumed that
this was the end Of his chances with this ship.
But on the sixth day. to his surprise, launch
approached his very island.
Lay then conceived a bold plan that would
either return him to freedom or cost him his
life. He said to the chiefs. LET me lure this
boat ashore, and the crew will be so surprised
TO see me that they will drop their guard.
whereupon you can fall to and slaughter them
ALL" The chiefs approved.
Will Lay waded few feet into the water and
started calling aloud in English.

hair was pinned in bow knot on top Of his
head, and his skin soon became as dark as that

But when Lay acquired some knowledge Of
Mill speech he got disturbing news. While
picking breadfruit he heard small boy shout:
"UrOh arc rayfa mO1y Ia Wiran." That
meant The chiefs are going to kill William"
A previously unknown disease was affecting
the islanders, producing swollen hands, feet
and faces. Sometimes checks would become

several days. Obviously. Lay and Hussey were
the cause - they should be killed.
A council was held at which an chiefs but
one voted for death. The negative came from
LuRoma, Hussey's owner, who argued that
Mills supreme master, the god AMT, had sent
the scouree TO punish the islanders for the
massacre. If this were true, would not add
tional killings infuriate the god further?
The boys were saved. and the slow abating
appeased and that the crime Of massacre had

hooting Of natives. for two-masied schooner
had anchored at the head Of the atoll.
The chiefs Immediately guessed that this was
a warShip sent to capture Lay and Hussey
from them. and they concluded that the safest
thing would be to kill the boys at once and
hide their bodies. But Hussey argued that the
ships crew obviously knew the boys were alive
and that if anything happened to them, the
ships guns would blow the atoll right out Of
the water.
