| Like Chapel Hill
BY Billy Arthur

couple of weeks ago had to be in Raleigh for the
Shrine Ceremonial, the same day that Billy Jr appeared
in program at the Little Red School House was de-
ermined to see it. So got of the fellows and we
thought we had sneaked away from the others WHO
working However Ralph Butts of Apex learned where
We had gone. Whenever anyone asked for me that
morning, he told them:
Billy had to go back to Chapel Hill to console his
wife because his son flunked kindergarten.
While Billy Jr. had the mumps, it occurred to me
that one no longer sees quarantine signs on houses
where there contagious diseases. remember when
had them and the measles and everything else, the
health department sent around yellow a red or
green orange sign and tackled up beside the
front door
Once had throat something and had gar
ged with salt water the night before and in the morning
before going to school. That day the public health
around.
First, she weighed me, checked the weight against
my height and put little red tag denotng that
was 20 pounds overweight for my size and advising
my family to do something about it. Then she looked
at my throat and sent me home Said had dphtherla.
The white patches in my throat were there She
phoned the health department for quarantine sign,
and phoned my mother to tell her the nurse had or
dered me to get an anttoxin Mother came home from
work, took to the family physician, and he said had
diphtheria than he did. He didn't want to give
shot, but the health department wouldn't give in
50 got the shot and really got sick. Not with diph-
theria however
From then through school, was wary of public
health nurses and gave them hard time
When they'd ask all the children who drank milk to
hold up their hands, mine conspicuousy down
When they wanted to know who drank coffee mine
went up. Proudly, Didn't | know children shouldn't
drink coffee?
told them drank three cups day.
DIDN'T know it bad for children?
answered with the whole truth that nv grand
mother raised 13 children and the first solid food all of
them got soakie bread and they soakie bread
and drank coffee whenever they wanted TO- and they
were all healthy farmers And was going to have nv
coffee when | wanted it.
Who were they TO say what was good for me when
they couldn't tell case Of diphtheria from garged
throat and couldn't compensate my weight in relation
to my dimlnutVe stature and age?
For the benefit Of you uncutured people who don't
know what soakie bread is, that's homemade biscuit
dunked in coffee Delicious! Good to this day!A
Of course, for being such recacrant little heel ey-
erytlme the public health around had to
stay IN after school But got great deal of salts
faction in telling her off
Come to think Of it, maybe had a little bit to do
with there not being anymore quarantine signs.

Poverty and IIhteraey Are Basic


People are still asking what caused
the people 81 Lima Peru and Caracas.
Venezuela recently to show such ex-
trene anger toward the Vice President
Of the United States
Perhaps q BIT Of information about
the people Of those countries viii give
some clues That the demonstrations
were Communist inspired is possible.
That Communists represent all Of The
background 10 the story is perhaps far
from true.
In the frs, place there has been con-
siderable unrest. particularly among
the students. IL both countries since
the November and December strikes Of
Peru and the January political reyolu-
ton il Venezuela TIE people are ready
10 use any excuse 10 show their emo
lions.
Peru has a.792. 100 people and Vene-
zuela has e.22I SCI Fifty-eight per
cent Of the people Of Peru and haf Of
those Of Venezuela are lljt4rate TIE
vast majority of those who can read
and write are educated only in the pri-
mary grades Il the schools.
Although the per capita income Of
Venezuela Is relatively high, the dis
triDgtion u the wealth is such that
many people IKE on q subsistence basis.
Peru buys h4f of her imports from
the United States and sells US about
thrd of her exports Venezuela buys
two-thirds of jts imports including
foods from the United States and also
sells Z third Of It's exports 70 us
This makes both countries dependent
on the United States More than that
United States investments. particularly
in Venezuela. are very great (60 per
cent Of al foreign investments in the
country are owned By United States
capital
IL spite of internal poverty Venezuela
has had q foreign aid program and 50
has given foreign aid u Ecuador and
has promised it 70 other countries. This
and other policies Of the government
caused severe criticism by the church
Catholic and by the students
The tariff program Of the Republi-
cans has been an adverse factor in their
economy, especially in the textile field.
More recently the mineral companies
have been complaining about our trade
policies.
Basically, however, the reasons for
resentment are internal. The countries
resent the big man who won't help but
they have not used the internal wealth
10 meet the peoples needs. Education
and higher wages are needed say the
churchmen and the students. They are
apparently right.

"The substantial absence of com

Eleven Negro students indicated
today they will submit written re-
quests for admission to the Uni

their effort to enroll Wednesday
touched off a bomb threat and a
student demonstration.
The students, presently enrolled
in Allen University at Columbia,
S. c., spent about two minutes
Wednesday in the state university's
examining and counseling office,
which refused to give them entry
blanks. Within an hour three

been reported by Allen officials,

would be "blown up"

civil rights which despite Negro preoccupation with
that subject does not obviae the true saying that

Relatives OF
Possee Victim
Confess Arson.
Staying Of
Aged Couple

Ruleville, Miss, Jan. 21.-Two
Negroes signed confessions as ac-
completes in the robbery-arson
deaths of an aged Negro couple
near here early in January and
were given hearings in Justice of
the Peace court here Friday.
Sheriff Ed Williams identified
the Negroes as Ida Love, "a, wife
of George Love, who was shot to
death by a posse who sought him
for the wounding of Marshal Exile
Jennings, and Ohio Lee Cooper,
also "a, both of Ruleville.
According to the statements the
two Negroes gave the sheriff, they
went with George Love to the home
of the aged couple, Anthony and
Estelle Cotter, who lived near here,
and asked to borrow some money.
When they were refused, the two
Negroes told officers that George
Love beat the elderly couple with
an iron wrench, and told Cooper
to get some kerosene and pour
over the bodies and the bed and
to set fire to the house.
Ida Love said that her husband
took $486 from a billfold the aged
Negro man carried.
1t was because Love was spend
ing "scorched" money that Jen-
nings was attempting to arrest him
on January 6. At that time, Love
shot the marshal four times. He
is recovering, but still is a patient
at the North Sunflower Hospital.
Love was shot to death the next
morning by a posse when he was
cornered in brush pile and opened
fire on the officers and posse hunt
ing him.
Officers indicate that there is
strong possibility that Love was
responsible for the deaths of the
@. L. King family in Alderman
last September.
At the hearing Friday Cooper
was bound over to the Grand Jury,
but the woman was given time to
procure an attorney.

report, just released, set forth some
of the following signs of progress.
Indignation of more than 700
Soutl-ern school districts, most of
them peacefully.
Expansion of Negro employment
opportunities in both the North
and the South, where some indus
tries employed Negroes for the
first time and integrated among
the other employees.
Deeper inroads into problems
of slum clearance and urban re-
newal in areas affecting Negroes
and other minority groups and
hopeful signs of a liberalizing in
public policy as exemplified by New
York City's new Sharkey-Brown-
Isaacs bill barring discrimination
in private housing.
While reporting overall progress
the league also recorded a well
advertised and generously financ-
ed" campaign of harassment in the
Soutl by "white-supremacy propa-
gandists. This group, it charged,
misrepresented the leagues func-
tons, leadership and achievement.
1t also organized, the league
noted, "hit and run boycotts"
against Community Chests to which
Urban Leagues belonged. This re-
suited in separating local leagues
in five Southern cities from sharing
in the chests.
In its program to expand en-
ployment the league noted that
great support had been given by
its Commerce and Industry Coun-
ell, which is made up of thirty-six
leaders of business and industry
1t was largely as result of TIE
influence of this council, represent
ing corporations employing more
than 100000 workers, that JOB

controversy in the South, the lea
que reported.
