Featured In June
Vogue Magazine

Lorraine Hansberry, author of
the Broadway hit, "a Raisin in the
Sum-" is featured in the "People
Are Talking About" section of
Vogue. The magazine describes her
as "easy, brilliant, attractive, down.
right, and with plenty to say"
A stunning full-page photo
graph in the June issue shows the
playwright in her Greenwich Viii
lage apartment in her working
clothes: china pants and hand
some checked top, in contrast to
the beautiful black and rope of
pearls" Vogue reports she wore
at the Broadway opening of her
play.
Vogue says of her: although
caught in the pounce of publicity,
she has remained a quiet woman.
What tries her, however, is the
recurrent label, the first Negro
woman to have a smash on Broad
way"

600 Attend
AIcorn's First
Summer Session

The regular summer school is in
full bloom with teachers and stu
dents in work and recreational
learning, trying to grow so that
they may meet the demands of our
times. In addition to the regular
students, there is short course
for agriculture teachers who are
getting their licenses renewed. The
vocational agriculture men will
study for three weeks under the
direction of DR.. Jesse A. Morris
and his well-equipped staff of ex-
perts.
The first major campus activity
was sponsored by Mr.. Grant Dun
gee and members of his class in
recreational leadership. 1t was a
talent show in which Rosa Porter,
Natchez senior, did fine job as
moderator and Ansley Matrin,
senior from Monticello, did fine
job as accompanist at the piano
and as a soloist. The highlight of
the afternoon was classical rendi-
tion of Mrs. Audry Sanders, head
of the music department at Tenn
pie High School, Vicksburg, Missis-
sippi, who was guest artist. There
have been other entertainments on
the tennis court and on the lawn
and tennis court at the executive
mansion.
In Oakland Memorial Chapel, the
summer teachers had the honor of
hearing His Excellency, Governor
J. P. Coleman make an address.
Mr.. ]. D. Byrd, president, intro
duced the House Speaker, Honor
able Walter Sillers who in turn
presented the Governor. The
campus was inspected by members
of the Legislature. DR.. E. R. Jobe,
Executive Secretary of the Board
of Trustees, was a member of the
group that examined the progress
this institution has made during
the Boyd Administration.
Among the extraordinary per-
sonalities who have been added to
the faculty during the summer ses-
sion are: DIR. James Fortenbery,
DR.. Gerard Neptune, and DR.. Mus
grave, who joined the faculty in
April. These experts in their areas
of interest will be here next year
to assist in developing the boys
and girls who choose this institu-
ton for their innate abilities to
find fullest fruition.
The "Ole Land Grant College"
marches on. Dean R. E. Waters
has introduced new courses, parti-
cularly the course in library science
and he anticipates changes in keep
ing with the needs and demands
of or society. That Alcorn will
meet the challenge is self-evident.
We invited the public and state Of
ficials to watch US grow, to So
iourn on these grounds and parti-
cipate in the ever-moving drama OF
learning as our institution wakes
into institutional excellency with
every passing day.
The summer session is entertain
ing, exciting, and intellectually

Negro boys saw the attack and said
when Davis spotted them, he ran
and they followed.
The military policeman, W. r.
Hartley, said Davis asked for help,
from the boys who were following
him. Further investigation dis
closed the attack on the woman.
Miles Randall and E. F. Sheath,
Beaufort police officers, and Dep
uty Sheriff, c. E. Bessinger Jr.
corroborated the sheriff's testi-
mony that Davis admitted attack
ing the woman.
The sheriff said Davis admitted
be attempted to attack two women
in Atlanta but their screams scared
him away. The officer said the two
cases are being checked out in At
lanta.
McTeer said the case is the first
in his 33 years as a sheriff that a
white man has been charged with
raping a Negro woman.
McTeer said Davis mother lives
in Atlanta, but his father is dead,
The jury deliberated an hour and
10 minutes.

LETTER TO EDITOR
Mr.. Percy Green
Jackson Advocate
Jackson, Miss.

Mr.. Percy Green
Jackson Advocate
Jackson, Miss.
Dear Sir:
want to congratulate you on
your recent testimony concerning
the limitations of law in produc-
ing the things which must come
of the Spirit.
Law, in the strictest sense, can
only demand and punish. 1t can
not produce spiritual fruit.
To make law demanding that
every one submit to baptism or
be hung at sunrise would not pro-
duce one Christian. To make a
law demanding that every one sa-
lutte the flag before breakfast, or
be shot, would not produce patriot
ism. The mere fact of trying to
produce Christianity or patriotism
by such law would produce only
contempt within the heart of those
so subjected.
Forcing white people, against
their will, to closely associate
themselves with Negroes, will not
produce harmony and respect. 1t
will, and already has had the eff
feet of, producing bitter contempt
for the Negro where none existed
before.
fear that if some one of your
race and deep understanding of
these simple truths can not i'm
press some of the higher ups of
the truth of this matter, incopat-
Utility will turn to hatred, hatred
will turn to violence, violence will o
turn to sorrow for both whites
and colored.
Some one must be led to under
stand that you can't produce a
flower by the mere fact of law.
The law can kill but it can not
make alive and if indignation is
not living spirit, it will become
a torment.
Your sincerely.
A. r. Boiling.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: One reason that comes
Saturday night, | like to visit my
favorite spot along the Ole Ave-
nue. and enjoy a good bate of
fresh fried fish and ice cold beer,
is that / have found it a never
failing source of wisdom, the kind,
generally unadorned, but always
expressive of a depth of under
standing, perhaps not readily
transmissible but at all times sat-
isfying the needs for understand
ing of the individuals in a certain
category. Enjoying my fish and
beer this past Saturday night |
was listening to a conversation
not far away, the subject of which
was DIGNITY. AS the talk went
on | heard somebody define dig
nifty after stating that dignity was
what Aunt Haggar's Chillun's
needed to like, especially the wo-
men. AS it was being explained
one fellow says, You see some of
our best looking women they just
don't like for no man to act with
dignity. The first thing they'll
say is, huh, chile, every time you
see him he's got on collar and
tie and standing around talking
almost in a whisper. | wouldn't
fool with him for nuthin He
thinks he's something. 1t was
further explained that this was
said because most of our folks
just didn't like dignity. | had
to agree as I sat listening that
this was more'n rs per cent right.
This lack of appreciation for dig
nifty is one of the chief reasons
that we as Aunt Haggar's Chill
lun's are still suffering from the
public conduct of most of US. /
started off to tell how one fellow
explained the meaning of the word
DIGNITY. Pointing at one of
the group at the table he said
DIGNITY is the way you act your
self so that people will respect
you, but that's jest for you. Now
DONATION, that means when
everybody is got it. What all of
us needs, he continued, for our
self as each, is more DIGNITY.
What we need together as a race
is more DIGNATION. AS | sat
watching | knew that everyone in
the ! roup had got the meaning
or what was being said and per-
haps to a far greater extent than
would have been possible if Dig
nifty and its application to the
individual and the group had
been explained to them by some
learned professor. Yes, the Ole
Avenue of a Saturday night is a
great place, and where most times
the UNDERSTANDING is far
deeper than the wisdom.
THEY AMT FOOLIN' Me Is
what heard one of Aine HaS-
CARS Chillun say when talking
bout certain Negro businessmen
whose always at the Private At
fairs for NAACP bigshots and
pose as big NAACP Boosters
whenever there's a meeting but
have their business advertised on
the "NIG PAGE" of a certain
daily paper AS the fellow
said dey amt after no inne sra-
ton. What dey is tryin' do is
run-wid-de-hare and 'oe-wid-de
hounds, which mean dtys trying
to fool de black folks and the
white folks too.

"THE LORD KNOWS ALL
THINGS, ASK HIM AND YOU
WILL RECEIVE A BLESSING. !"
Stop telling our Lord everything
today
He knows everything we all know
The Lord knows and sees all
Because Jesus is the keeper of
Heavens Door.
You can pay your way everywhere
you may go
Except Heaven, because there is
no charge at Heavens door
Lies have fool more people to hell
Than any other place we know.
The House of the Lord will be
cleaned out sooner or later
And the Saints of God can roll
on right
To gods Holy City where there
is forever joy
And always day and never no
nights.
Whenever Man learns enough to
tell God word
The Lord is an all known God, and
an all seeing God also
So we have got to stop telling God
everything
He said for US to ask and it shall
be given unto US.
Our children are failing to obey
their mothers and fathers
Men are failing to obey Gods Will
So ask and it shall be given.
Try and see if / am wrong
We must obey Gods will or death
will pay the bill.
Man is too wise to ask the Lord to
guide him .. .
God said ask and it shall be given
unto you
Stop trying to tell God every
thing you see
Because He knows everything both
old and new.
If l only had someone to see my
aim in life
And to help me to give to the peo-
pie new thoughts from God
The Lord is a God of mercy and
love
He will make your road much east
er not hard.
We have got to stop yoking our
selves up in sin
Christ said take my yoke upon
you, for my yoke is easy
And my burdens are light
We must obey Gods word wheth-
er its day or night.
Self has gotten into Gods word
at this time
But we have got to ask God for
our blessings
Stop telling the Lord everything,
He knows everything
You are on the wrong road, ask the
Lord to show you the right way.
So ask the Lord for help, He will
hear you
Stop getting down on your knees
to tell God a word
He knows everything before you
can tell Him
So ask God from now on and as
long as you live.
