Congratulations Jackie Robinson

Out at the College Park Auditorium last Sunday we
heard and for the first time Jackie Robinson of estab
liShed baseball fame, his role a leader and
spokesman for his people, and like most of those pres
who still pictured him the firebrand of the base
ball diamond, confess surprise at the total alb
of the fire-eating statements vtuperatOn ban
dishments and wild congratulations in his speech and
equal surprise and the staesmany content of the
speech.
Our estimate of the statesmanly content of Mr.
Robinson's speech from his saying regarding
race prejudce What seek is the suppression, by
law, AND BY THE WEIGHT OF PUBLIC OPINION, of
the hostile manifestations of racial prejudice 1t will be
noted here that Mr. Robinson first by law and adds
BY THE WEIGHT OF PUBLIC OPINION which
capitalize to emphasis point in this piece.
From down in New Orleans, Louisiana, weeks
ago. noticed in the press reports, that dsting
uished contemporary the Louisiana Weekly the states
leading Negro newspaper, has taken issue with the
mighty Saturday Evening Post because of editorial
in which the Post said ntegraton of schools must have
frmer base upon which to rest than the decisions of
the United States Supreme Court.
In his reference to the WEIGHT OF PUBLIC
OPINION Mr. Robinson appears to have recognized the
existence of fact the recognition of which seems be-
yond the intelligence of most Negro leaders and Negro
leaders socaed That fact being that the most power

ION" that is for against its experimentation. The
WEIGHT OF PUBLIC OPINION" is the frmer base
referred to in the Saturday Evening Post Editorial which
aroused the ire of distinguished Louisiana conem
porary.
In another instance in his speech in reference to
having been called "Ngger" in certain places, Mr. Rob
inson asserted that his to that type of
calling welngup and the full feeling OF pride in
himself, and pride in his His reference to
race pride in the atmosphere of group which has
been trying though unsuccessully to insti in to the
minds of the American Negro that he is not race.
was to us another evidence of the independence of
thought and conviction the high marks of both leader
ship and craftsmanship.
In conclusion in regard to his speech here last Sum-
day we say congratulations, Jackie Robinson.

Cotton & People
(From Commercial AppeaD

Gerald Dearng, whose comments on cotton are
daily feature of The Commercial Appeal has come to
delicate subject in the appeal of few and high
prices to the small grower
There is a sound value in the life that stands with
foot job in town and the other foot in small
cotton patch.
Almost everyone be sympathetic to the aging
whose children have moved to the city as he stays
the small farm he has had all his fe with interest
in few bales and price but without the slightest
possibility of expansion into bales at lower price
There is human appeal in the numerous small
farmers who poor vngs but just simply choose to
stay the land rather than try another occupation
The larger farm with machinery is taking over at
fairly rapid pace but for years there have been laws set
ting up artificial restraints to slow down the change and
help the income of the little grower.
This is all matter of human feeling reinforced by
the customs of other generations and strengthened by
the large number of votes of both the little growers and
the persons who think of themselves farmers without
actually growing anything for sale.
The cotton industry is something else and its needs
are very different 1t must have both more cotton TO
serve the buyers of former years. and cotton
to keep the mills from using such cheaper new fabrics
as rayon.
The price that fits the three bale grower shrivels the
market, both at home and abroad, for another year
It is conflict between cotton and people which
Congress has been unable to end in than 20 years
of trying 1t is Mr. Bearings comment that this seems
to be another year without end to the long, painful
and costly conflict.

The National Association for the

subject of a proposed legislative
investigation, said today lawmak-

regation citizens councils if they
want to find who is doing charm
to democracy"
The Senate Judiciary Commit

calling for an investigation of the
NAACP to determine it's ultimate
purpose" in the state. 1t is spon-
sored by the state department Of
the American Legion.
Medgar Evers, field secretary
for the state NAACP office, is
sued a statement charging the le-
gion with partisan policies"
"Otherwise they would have
called not only for an investigation
of the NAACP but also an inten-

councils that are doing more harm
to democracy than the men-acting

Good Nutrition At Lower Cost

16T of the calcium, 1870 of the
ribofavin, 242s of the thiamine,
30ct of the iron and 23Rc of the
niacin but only 1870 of the cal
ories recommended daily for the
average man.
"The Importance of protein in
the diet is being emphasized by
today's nutritionists. A recent
technical publication points out
that one glass of milk and four
slices of bread provide 25eo of
the recommended daily allowance
of protein and 60% of the recon-
mended allowance of the amino
acid lysine.
Measured in cents per pound,
in terms of costs of nutrients and
in terms of minutes of time re-
quired to earn a loaf, bread is one
of the very best food buys. To-
days enriched white bread is the
finest loaf INTENTIONALLY ever Of
fered to the American people It
is superior to breads of yester-
wear because it contains milk and
the B vitamins and iron of the
enrichment formula. Enriched
bread contributes better health to
the public and provides steadily
widening market to the farmer
for wheat, for nonfat milk, for
shortening and for sugar"

LANDLORD AND TENANT


Does a tenant farmer, have the
right to remove, sell, or mortgage
agricultural products grown on
the leased land before settling
with his landlord? The answer,
of course, Is mo-, but he does
have the right to force an account
ing from his landlord through
proper legal process. These and
other rights will differ with the
individual cases and only train
ed legal counselor is competent to
advise you on your factual situa-
ton. However, there are some
broad principles to help enable
you to decide when to consult
your lawyer.
Generally speaking, in these
times of consistently rising cost,
a tenant is afforded more protec-
ton by a written lease contract
than is the landlord. Landlords,
for obvious reasons, occasionally
raise the periodic rental and when
the opportunity arises move in
more favorable tenant. Many
laws have been passed by the
Mississippi legislature which are
calculated to protect the landlord.
and a few protect the tenant.
However, if the parties can reach
a mutual agreement, generally by
reducing this agreement to writ
ing future conflicts between the
landlord and tenant are avoided.
Questions are frequently asked
as to the manner and time OF
notice required by law to termi-
nate a tenancy. In Mississippi, if
the tenancy Casually the periods
for which rent is paid) Is from
month to month, or lesser period
Of time, one weeks notice in writ
ing is essential. II the tenancy is
for a quarter-year or half-year.
one months written notice is re-
quired, and two months notice is
necessary to terminate a yearly
tenancy. When a tenant remains
in possession after being properly
notified to quit the premises, he
is liable for double the regular
rent. In addition, the landlord
may have the tenant removed by
order of the court.
In the absence Of promise to
the contrary, a tenant is not bound
to pay rent for buildings after
their destruction by fire or other
casualty, unless such destruction
was the fault Of the tenant
Furthermore. the rent may be re-
duced by court order when build

neither you and l heard, here, there,
yonder on the general subject of
the consistant absentee of the Bre-
thren and Sisters and the growing
number of empty pews in the chur-
ches, store fronts, and other places
of worship, the reference to the

The subject / started off to talk
about being the consistant absence
of the Brethen and Sisters from
their places in the pews I got the
idea from regular Saturday night
talk, as l do most of my more out
standing thoughts of the plain COM
mon sense variety, as some of we
old time Parish Streeters, hit upon
the subject as we sat around our
fish and beer.
Well to make a long story short,
the follow who captured every
body's attention was one fellow who
said that mostly the reason the
Brethen and Sisters are getting
more absent is that here about
our churches are the most uncom-
Portable places you go to. In the
summer time they are too hot, and
in the winter time they're too cold.
AS the fellow said with picture
shows, night clubs and other hang
outs, air-conditioned no wonder
folks are slow on going to church
And as one fellow said it
would be good idea and more peo-
pie would come where they'd be
exposed to the Idea of going to
heaven and loving their Neighbor
like they love themselves
If Instead of some
of them pastors anniversaries
they'd have some anniversaries to
make the church houses more COM
Portable for winter and summer.
