plato Place" You couldn't get better name,
because if you change it around it becomes
Place to Play"
Mrs. Paul Van Malta Of Silver Hill road
introduced the Girl Scouts to Uncle John and
Plato Place. Mrs. Van Malta often gathered
wild flowers there for flower shows, and on
one visit in 1898 she brought along Mrs. Fred
erick Blumer, who was Day Camp Chairman
for the Girl Scouts Mrs. Blumer asked Uncle
John if she could bring her troop sometime.
After that visit more Girl Scouts wanted to
come, SO Uncle John provided them with
permanent campsite.
Uncle John has been pleased to share his
woodland with the Girl Scouts and Camp Fire
Girls because they have been careful not to
damage living trees and flowers and have
followed his rules. Perhaps they gladly do so
because he phrases his rules so gently and
tactfully. Hanging on the wall of Holly Lodge,
on Scout Hill, is a wooden plaque with these
carved-out words, composed by Uncle John:
Nobody knOOs Dhere BrosOnie goes,
Because BrO,Onie neuer thrOtOS
Paper or tinfol on the ground
Or IeGues bottles lying round.
So nobody knoUS DheTe a BrotOnie goes
Because, you see, 1t neuer shOtoS."
Uncle Johns own modest home is at the
entrance to Plato Place, on Berry lane, near
.Ritchie road. His low rambling house has nine
doors opening to the outdoors, to the woods
he loves. Mrs. Plato, whom Uncle John met
after settling at Plato Place, shares his love
of nature and children. She had charge of the
Childrens Lodge in the neighbOrhood and still
takes care of youngsters sent to her by the
District Welfare Department.
Uncle Johns dream is to leave his 80 acres
of unspoiled woodland for children to enjoy.
He would like to have nonprofit organization
or foundation maintain it in its natural beauty

1t Is No Disgrace For Negroes To Seek
The Company And Association
OF Their Kind

we see by the newspaper reports from up in New
Jersey that the President of the State Conference of
NAACP Branches says that Negroes up there are u.s.
ing only two three places for swimming the New
Jersey 'front.' charging that the New Jersey Ne
groes are thus segregating themselves and urging
them to avoid such evidence of segregation by choice
or for the company of their kind, by spreading
themselves out and using all the beaches particularly
those being used mainly by white people.
Ever since the NAACP abandoned it's drive for
equality under the law for the Negroes of this country
in favor of the drive for Indignation herculean efforts
has been carried in the attempt to have the Negro
believe that his is not race, that he is conglomo-
identity with any of the racial strains that make up
the world population; with neither the desire the
right to look back to remote ancestry in the
search for inspiration and greater understanding of
his history and of the history of the world.
Despite this reculean effort the fact remains that
the world is populated by four main groups black
brown, white and yellow people, further divided by
difference in language which goes back to the time
further back; and by their main dwelling places that
further divides and Identifies them nationally as Afr
can, Chinese Japanese, Germans Frenchmen English
men, Russians, Americans, Canadians, Australians
Black African Group.
AS long the world has stood, as long as civil
zaon bears record the ecidence points to the fact
people of the same racial BACKGROUND seek their kind
drawn together by something called "ethnc" force
force transcends all other forces
We say in the light of the history of mankind and
OF the association of members of the racial group
with other members of the race despite the cries for
the maintenance of racial segregation by those who
look upon racial segregation the instrument and in
Venon OF their power and authority; despite the in
tegration propaganda of the NAACP and the findings
OF the socoogst and psychologist of the Gunnar Myr
oai school of Thought; it is disgrace neither is it
un-Amerlcan for Negroes to give evidence like all
othed people in the world of the desire seek and as
socate with their own kind whether the beaches of
New Jersey or on the beaches of the Mississippi Gulf
Coast

for the banquet. Mr.. Williams, a
member Of the college factuly for
the past two decades, is beginning
his third term at the helm of the
national body. Speaking on the
subject 'f'Imperatives for Jackson
ians," he suggested ways gradu-
ates of the institution could help
the college succeed in its search
for excellence. "The basic prob
lem in American higher education
has been and continue to be that
colleges have been forced to do
too much with too little. Accept
the responsibility of helping the
college find and select students of
talent, ability, and promise as the
first imperative. The second i'm
perative is that we must give and
give generously to our Alma Mater.
The third imperative is that we
must show a greater interest in
the institution which has contrib
uted so much to our total we'll
being. The fourth and final i'm
perative is that we must dedicate
our services to the college through
our Alumni Association and SUBJ
sidiary organizations" he stated.
Following Mr.. Williams address,
greetings were brought by Edwin
Mullen, 80; Mrs. Gladys Gray
40; W. A. Higgins, 80; and DR..

FARlSH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Whilst I was settin down
eatin ma feesh and drinking ma
beer the thought came that /
oughta tell my real friends as I
resume CUP AND DOWN Parish
STREET" this week, after leaving
it off for one reason or another
for several weeks, about how l
keep on going despite the sings
and arrows of the would-be-wise,
the wise, and unwise, and the sly
digs of pseudo friends which have
long ago recognized though they
keep on trying to wear their dis
guise when they get around me
Not tellin all the other reasons
that keeps me going one is
that / often times runs across
something that renews both the
spirit and inspiration . . Like the
poem which l ran across lately by
an unknown author titled DON'T
QUIT" Here tbs and / hope
it'll do the same thing for you
When things go wrong, as they
sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging
seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the
debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you
have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down
bit.
Rest, if you must, but don't you
quit.
Life is queer with its twists and
turns,
As everyone of us sometimes
learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he
stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace
seems slow
You might succeed with another
blow.
Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to q faint and falterine
man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the
victor's cup
And he learned too late, wher
night slipped down,
How close he was to the COLDER
crown.
Success is failure turned inside
out
The silver tint to the clouds Of
doubt
And you never can tell how close
you are,
It may be near when It seem,

So stick to the fight when you're
hardest hit

you mustn't quit.

"MY MOTHERS TRAINING

Gods world is filled with sin today
From the east back to the west
From the north back down in the
south
God is going to stop the big rat
and every little one.
The Lord has his eye on the world
and all SHINING today
He is Lord of love and mighty,
you see
He is going to bring destruction
on the weakest
And set his people free.
There will be peace here on earth
No blood to shed for his earth
His earth can smother all of the
sin
All of his children will be ready
when the saints 60 marching
in.
The Lord he gave me word to
write
And way for his words to apply
Go preach my gospel to the people
And warm the world, can get by.
/ once was the world, you see my
mothers prayers saved me
She asked the Lord to save us all
and let us all see our mistakes
And give up the world before it
is too late.
When your past is forgotten
And your future is ahead
Husband and wife has said goodby
And the doctor has pronounced
them dead.
A Christian heart will turn around
3au that day
And say am I left here alone
I shall live a life to obey my Christ
l am left here alone today.
It takes man and woman that
Is true
To be friend to anyone today
A neighbor will stick closer than
brother
So many are coming this way.
l had a wife So years, so she is
And left me here, I will say l am
alone
No one but Jesus Christ to lead
Since my dearest friend has gone.
My wife helped her kindred
She also helped her one
Jesus is standing by me
Someday he will take me home.
My mother loved her children
Loved my father also
They loved to take US all to church
And teach US the right way to 60.
She has gone and left me here
She trained m from a small boy
It was always pleasure for US
to obey
Her training was all her Joy.
My mother helped thos in destruc-
tioH
It was a pleasure to her to 60
help the poor
She would always go from door
to door
Her works has been for years and
years.
So, we have to obey Gods will
His son is our redeeming Christ

And know do they enjoy going

Help me feel happy to know it
