Game In Shooting"

"Came In Shooting"
Several residents, whose names
cannot be disclosed, told of being
present in tavern known as the
Chicken Shack" which is owned
by a white man, Sidney Johnson, at
Empire, when the reign of terror"
began.
There were about 25 persons
standing at the bar and a number
sitting in other sections of the bar
when some 20 or Is armed white
men burst into the door waving
pistols and shooting them in the
air." one informant declared. "They
had no badges or uniforms"
eve were cursed and called
names and told to raise our hands
up in the air and line up against
the wall.
Shot In The Back
Zone man who had run outside,
attempted to run away and he was
shot in the back. I do not know
his name, but understand he has
been brought to the Charity Hos
pital in New Orleans"
Inside, the cursing and abuse
continued. We were all made to
lie down on the floor. While l was
lying there one Of the armed white
men punched me in the jaw. They
made me get up, go in the back
room, then lie down again with
our heads on our hands. We were
told not to move or we'd be shot"
AFTER some 20 or rs minutes we
were lined up and herded into a
Plaquemines Parish school bus. We
were driven to the Font-a-la Hatch
ferry, taken across the river and
placed in the bull pen of the parish
Jail. The sheriff's car led the way"
Later, another bus load of pris-
oners arrived. There were 10 or
Is women among the prisoners.
To Face Trial
81 was told that Lee Perez, the
district attorney, led the raid, how
ever, l did not actually see him
We were charged with vagrancy
Those who had money were al
,, lowed to have their bail bonds
signed for $50. Some were still
in all last week. Some were tried
and some were to face trial on July
IL.
"While we were in Jail, a group
of white men came in, looked us
over, then left. Many of the pris-
oners were beaten pretty badly

he concluded.
Attorneys Chased
Attorneys Amedee and Trudeau
told Of going to the Plaquemines
Parish courthouse early Friday to
represent some of the arrested
persons. AS they arrived, Leander
H. Perez, now assistant to his son,
the district attorney, stormed out
of the building and asked why they
were there.
you're down here to make trou-
ble," he Numbered, "and if you're
locking for trouble, you'll get it"
the attorneys quoted him as say
ing.
Eight or ten deputies stood in the
courthouse door, the attorneys said,
as Perez stormed, raved and hurled
verbal abuse at them.
The attorneys learned that some
rs or 80 of the prisoners who were
employed on a boat which was
leaving out Friday evening, had
gone to trial before Judge Rudolph
Mcbride and pleaded guilty. They
were fined $35 each and given sus-
spended sentences of one year in
Jail.
Perez Backs Down
The two attorneys said a group
Of Negro women were standing
nearby.
Perez turned on the women, the
attorneys said, and asked why they
were there.
Were waiting for cur husbands
who are in JAIL" they said.
"You mean your 'common-law
husbands" Perez beloved.
One woman Of gigantic proper
tions, armed with an umbrella,
told Perez, Look here, Pm mar
ried to that mani"
Perez backed down.
AS things appeared about to
get out of hand and the deputies
appeared to be getting nervous,
the two attorneys left. They were
followed to their automobile by

CAN YOU COMMUNICATE WITH GOD?

by communicating with Cod
by praying.
Men have not always had tie
privilege Of talking with Coo
and Of drawing strength anc
courage from Him. The Israel
lite people in their worship hat
to be satisfied with contracting
God only through their high
priest.
Only the high priest was pei
mitted to have direct contact
with Cod. He alone offered
sacrifices for the needs Of the
people. And when he went into
the holy Of holes to be in the
presence of God, the people had
to stay outside. The closest they
could come to God was through.
another persons experience.
But when Jesus came to the
earth, He changed this system.
Today God is SO close to you
that you can communicate will,
Him yourself. Christ is near you,
walking with you-He is even
within you. Do you know that
you can talk to God?
No problem Of life need ever
master you. You should never
be covered with care, weighted:
down with worry, Or afflicted
with sickness or disease. You
can have abundant life. Just
talk to Cod; let Him help you.
And in the words Of DR.. Tom
Dooley, Nothing human or
earthly can touch you, for you
can communicate with God"

Thomas Dooley was a de-
voted young doctor working in
the jungles Of Laos. All Of lis
have read Of his brave fight
against the jungle diseases to
help the Laotian people. We
also know of his heroism in
staying on the job although his
own body was being eaten up
by cancer.
In a letter to a friend, DR..
Dooley gave the secret to his
bravery about six weeks before
his death.
Whenever my cancer acts

ing up now | turn inward

THE storm around me does
not matter. The winds within
me do not matter. Nothing hui

able, | can fathom. What is I'M

/. the pupil-teacher ratio is too
high
2. the school lunch program
needs to be improvy
cially in the variance of menu
offerings. This problem inn
pairs the morale of teachers
and students.
3. classroom space is not avail
able in many schools.
A. maintenance is totally made
quate; it is not now proven
tive, with the result is that
million-dollar buildings are
rapidly deteriorating.
5. custodial services are made
quate
6. the practice of accepting stu
dents who have been dis
missed by the parochial schools for
bad conduct or poor study habits
should be re-appraised. While it
is true that public school should
accept children who want to go to
school, and it is also true that all
children must attend until they
are sixteen years Of age, according
to the new law, it seems that the
public schools should not be made
the dumping ground for all of ST.
Croix's undesirable students. To
consider only these children and
their various and sundry contri-
buttons to the public schools, must
not the schools go down, down,
down, unless there is extra effort
put forth by our already ver
worked and undergrad teachers2
There is an urgent need for spe-
cial education for a typical stu
dent, plus greater cooperation
between the schools and other gov
eminent agencies.
z. outdated textbooks severely
handicap all children. Should
our children study from books
which declare beyond a doubt that
the atom is the smallest particle
of matter, or from books which
stress english grammar instead of
grammar and communication?
8. there are no substitute teach
ers
9. supplies are not often avail
able, not even chalk
10. teachers should be sent away
for further studies, and re-
quirements for certification should
be strengthened. Sooner or later
we must employ techers by con-
tract.

raised to compete with the ma

Now let us consider the third
criticism-that the schools are
wasting too much time on sfrills0
There are usually three aspects Of
this criticism. The first
is that in teaching the 1frills",
there is a subsequent decline in
the basics. With this I have already
dealt. Next, that in dealing with
social and personal problems the
school is over-stepping its limits
and teaching against the wishes of
the public which supports it. The
third is that even if the public
wants these new subjects, it ought
not toWant them; especially the
social subjects. These two COM
bined arguments can easily be
smothered by pointing out that
there is evidence to prove that ci-
items want their children to earn
a living, meet problems, adjusAso-
cially and participate in the re-
sponsibilities and civic duties
which shape their own democratic
futures. Is this not true Of StCroix?
Do we not have the suffrage,
whereas a few short years ago it
was limited to property owners?

national average of $685. 90, and
Woefully behind the New York ex-
penditure, with New York having
all of its deficiencies and inadequa

here until the community realizes
that education and health should
have a larger share Of the tax dol

administration, with anticipated
legislative cooperation and Board
OF Education interest, has pledged
to do all in its power to resolve the
financial dilemma which confronts
