Three Children
Are Dead In
Florida Fire

Orlando Fla. - Fire killed thre.
of five Negro children left at home
by themselves Monday.
A brave 6-year-old neighbor-
hood girl rushed into the burning
house and saved the lives of the
other two.
The five. children, all, related,
were sleeping alone in the tenant
house when the fire broke out
about $50 am. Burned to death
were two 8-month old boys and a
one and a half year-old girl.
The neighborhood girl, who saved
the oldest children in the house,
wept as she told firemen how she
had been unable to find the three
infants in the smoke and flames.
Firemen said the mother of some
of the children in the house was
at her job in a downtown hotel.
Firemen did not know where other
adults in the family were.

partment had reported an immed
late need for fifty new teachers
and 102 classrooms. He said there
were shortages also in the Depart
ments of Public Safety and Tour
ism.
Governor Merwin went on the
radio to answer the charges. He
said additional revenues for 1869
were expected to reach $571 900,
thus keeping the operational bud
get in line with "good government
practices"
Morris F. De Castro, Budget d.
rector, then spoke. He said the is
lands had a per capita revenue of
$148.83, the lowest of any state or
local government on the mainland.
The per capita contribution of
United States taxpayers to the
Virgin Islands Government is al
most twice as much as to any state,
he said.
This contribution, according to
Mr.. De Castro, is $160.89, while
the state with the highest is Wy
oming, $84.88. The Virgin Islands
spends more to govern 27,000 per-
sons, $226.83 per capita, than do
10 states, he added.
Mr.. De Lugo accused the Gov
ernor of double talk" He charged
that Mr.. Mervin was asking SUBJ
stantial salary increases for his
official family and 5000, 900 for a
scenic road in st. Croix, on which
he said nobody resided.
He deplored a $4,000 reduction
for the Division of Construction
and Maintenance and request for
Government information officer.
He called the proposed budget Gin
adequate" "unrealistic" and a
farce that has been perpetrated
on the people of these Virgin Is
lands"
Local newspapers termed it "half-
hearted" and lacking in sincerity
and conviction"
Governor Merwin was also crit
icized in the Legislature for the
summary dismissal of natives in
high Government posts.

1--WE HAVE GOT TO OBEY GODS
WORD TO BE SAVED"
Good common sense is what the
world is crying for
Brains are exciting in this life
The Lord made man out of the
dust of the earth
And gave to him soul and soul
for his wife.
Man is almost at the end of his
road
He is trying to show the world
what he knows
He is trying to go to the moon
To let the world see what he knows
The Lord gave man five senses
you see
But not to go handling his bright
moon
God holds the power of this world
ir His hand
Mans power is weaker than tea
spoon.
If man could see his mistakes
And come back to Christ and bow
down
We could have a paradise to live
hero in
And a heaven to receive our
crowns.
But unless we all get on the right
side
Our side is a failure from the start
We have got to get on the Lords
side today
We can't live in Gods Heaven
starting astray.
The Lord said for His people to
unite together
Are you obeying the will of God
today
We are even separated in Gods
house
And crying and shouting we are
on our way.
I watch the people as they all
60 by
And the saints of God watch also
The people of the world are sing
ing l Am A Child Of God
And l am preaching they are at
the wrong door. ..
God has only one Christian family
Those are the ones who have been
born again
They have been born of the Holy
Spirit of God
And He has prepared heaven
for them to enter in.
We have got to separate from the
world
If we expect heaven to be our home
We can't run with the world all
night
And then say we're not doing
wrong.
Gods Word says for man to sep
arate from the world
The love of money is the root OF
all evil
The Holy Bible says this is al
| true
love the Lord how about you!

On The NAACP Branch President
Call For Violence

To those who have the least understanding of
the vast limitations of the American Negro particularly
those in the south, the call upon Negroes to answer
violence with violence by the President of the Union
County North Carolina Branch of the NAACP, would
be comca it not for it's tragic implications These
implications appear to be to devious to need mentioning
Fortunately however, dare to assert that
except for the few NAACP and Indignation fanatics to
gro anywhere with one-half the that God gave
has failed to recognize the statement of the Union
County, North Carolina Branch President nothing
more or less than the mouthings of a fool.
Moreover, along with deeply held conviction
that the NAACP led demand for Indignation was the
greatest mistake in the history of the American Negro
struggle to the remarks of the Union County NAACP
Branch President will strengthen in many areas of
American Public Opinion and leadership with no dis
advantage to the Negro cause the recent statement by
the noted television Editor and Commentator, Chef
Huntley, that the NAACP may have already outlived
its usefulness in Negro leadership

NIGHT: My Grandma used to tell

could say about another member
Of the clan was being said when
ever you hear one of them saying
of another member of the clan:
"Dat Old So-And-So He Thinks
He's "Sonfron." That last being
a sort of peculiar pronunciation
among Aunt Haggar's Chillun for
the word something" was
listening to a conversation while
indulging my fish and beer and
heard one of the young Parish
Streeters, who by his hard work,
thrift, and good sense, had been
able to buy himself and family a
nice home, a modestly priced new
automobile, and he and his wife
were able to go to the picture
show now-and-then, and looked
fairly nice on Sunday when they
dressed up and got in the car to
go to church kept on listen
ing as the conversation went on
and it really did my heart good
when | heard one of them fellows
say, Man, don't let it git you down,
when you hear one of them cats
saying that you thinks yourself
"sonfron" Because if you don't
think yourself "sonfron" who
in the devil else do you think will
and besides, he says, I'm gon-
ma keep on working and saving
until / get myself something so
great until when they look and see
me coming, them what amt got
nothing and amt got no sense
will JUMP up and start shout
ing Oar he come, look at him,
he thinks hisself sonfron" |
quit listening then because my cup
was already filled and was running
over. To hear them Parish
Streeters revealing the fact that
they know and understand that
whenever you hear or see some
body pointing to somebody and

something You can just bet
your bottom dollar that such folks
amt got nothing else much
and they sure amt got no sense
