register their youngsters in "the
junior high schools of your choice"
Under the boards policy, pupils
must attend the junior high schools
in their immediate locality.
About 100 parents followed the
committees recommendation by at
tempting registration at outlying
schools but were refused and d.
rected to Miss Truda T. We'll, the
assistant superintendent of the
district.
Miss We'll reminded them of the
neighborhood school policy, said
she was unable to help them and
suggested that they take their
grievances to the board.
The two elementary schools that
the children attend and the junior
high school to which they must
go after the sixth grade are pre-
dominantly Negro. Miss We'll de-
MED that the education programs
were inferior and said she had a
statistical survey under way that
would prove her contention.

tics for the last year or more,
M. Dejoie appeared in the best Of
health and spirits.
"For the last six months I have
not had one night Of sound unin-
terrupted sleep, he said. There has
not been q night when / was not
aware that / might not be either
betrayed or executed or assassi-
mated"
He said when he first went into
hiding he slept in the open coun-
try just outside Port-au-Prince
and wandered around the country
side during the day.
As the vigilance of the civil po-
lice relaxed, he said, he blackened
his face and dressed as a Haitian
country woman and entered Port
au-Prince every night to talks
with friends and political colleag-
ues. M. Dejoie is a light-complect-
ed mulatto.
The exile said he felt relative
ly free from danger until the
Haitian Government placed a
$1,000 reward for his delivery,
dead or alive.
"That was a presidential decree
in which l was classified as a
common criminal" he explained.
II am still an outlaw under that
decree"
He said that $4,000 was more
than a Haitian laborer or house
servant could expect to earn in a
whole lifetime.
~ could not blame some of these
for being tempted to betray me,
he remarked. THAT is when
decided to ask for asylum in the
Mexican Embassy"
His wife, his son and the lat
ter's two children simultaneously
gained asylum in the Spanish En-
bassy in Port-au-Prince.
M. Dejoie was defeated for the
presidency by DIR. Francois Du-
Waller in last October's election.
He said today that he would have
won the election had it been car
ried out fairly. 81 was not even
allowed to have an observer at the
POLLS outside of Port-au-Prince,
he commented.
The exiled politician said his
only plans at present were to
go to the United States as soon
as he received a visa to attend to
business affairs there.
After his stay in the United
States, he said, he plans to go ia
Jamaica, British West Indies, to
visit relatives for a time and then
return more or less permanently
to Mexico. He said he was look
ing into the possibility of buying
or leasing a farm here.

I enth Annual
Boys State At
Southern Set

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, May II,
The Tenth Annual Bayou Boys
State will be held at Southern Uni
versity, June 8-15, according to
DIR. r. G. Higgins, director Of the
American Legion Activity.
The Objective of Boys state Is
to educate our youth in the duties,
privileges, rights and responsible
ties of American citizenship. It is
wholly a plan for training in the
practical mechanics Of government.
Applications of the principles Of
democratic government are made
in every possible way.
The Constitution and the statut-
es of the State of Louisiana are the
pattern from which the fundament-
al law of Bayou Boys State has
been developed. Bayou Boys State
should be thought of as being q
mythical 49th state with a constitu-
ton, statutes, and ordinances, con-
structed by its citizens to govern
themselves.
DIR. Higgins said that, "The en-,
tire program is non-partisan. Pro-
blems will be considered without
reference to any existing political
party and will be free from pro-
paganda."
"The sole purpose is to enable
boys to grasp the meaning of some
of the responsibilities, which he
will be called upon to assume when
he becomes an adult" DR.. Higgins
said.
! Any organization, person or
group of persons wishing to spon-
sor a boy in the program should
contact DR.. Higgins, head, Depart
ment of History and Political Sci
ence, Southern University.

Dr.. Lacey Is
Jackson State
College Honors
Day Speaker

DR.. Archie L. Lacey, Professor
Of Physical Science at Grambling
College and Director of Region Nv
of the National Science Teachers
Association, was guest speaker for
the annual Honors Day program at
Jackson State College May Ia.
Since Kappa Phi Chapter was
organized on the campus in 1949,
it has done much to promote high
scholarship; to encourage sincere
and Jealous endeavor in all fields
of knowledge and service; to cult
vate a high order of personal liv-
ing; and to develop and apprecia-
ton for scholarly work and schol-
arly endeavor of others. To be
eligible a student must be of jun
ior or senior classification and
shall have earned a total of 80
quarter hours with an honor point
average of not less than 2.3.
The subject of DR.. Lacey's ad-
dress was: Life or Death of
Civilization-A Challenge of To-
morrow" He defined true schol-
ar as zone who is carefully train
ed, who possesses knowledge and
wisdom, and who is not only dis
ciplined in subject matter fields
but also has personal discipline. A
true scholar seeks to make life
better for others-he is a lover
of truth and never compromises
with truth. There is great need
for true scholars in the areas of
human relations, communication,
religion, education, government and
politics, and science. We are ex-
periencing a truly cultural depres-
sion, we are confused. If this con-
tinues to persist, our civilization
is doomed. Continue to study,
study, study to make life as pure
as you want it to be-" he contin-
ued. DR.. Lacey was introduced by
Early Nichols, President of Kappa
Phi Chapter and candidate for
graduation May &c.

HIS DEATH ended a string of
six generations of rabbis in the
Krohn family. The slightly built
leader was born in Plainfield, N.
J., and served synagogues in New
York and New Mexico following
service as a social worker.
He served as Temple Beth Is
rael rabbi from 1888 to 1858,

mourned his loss editorially:
Phoenix has lost one of its finest
leaders-a top-ranked citizen and
a good man Phoenix was fort
unate to have had as citizen for
so many years man of the calibre
of Rabbi Krohn. It is unfortunate
to have lost him, for men like Rab-
bi Krohn are almost impossible to
replace"
Declared Mayor Jack Williams:
Rabbi Krohn played many parts
on the stage of our community and
played each so well that his credit
encompassed every field of Serv-
ice. He was a great rabbi, great
scholar, a great humanitarian, and
a great citizen"
