Now science proves tired, ach-
ing muscles recover twice as fast
with Absorbine Jr. as when

Medical experts, using the
new Electromyograph, prove
Absorbine Jr. can bring fatigued
muscles back twice as fast as
nature can.
Absorbine Jr. treats the cause
of sore, aching muscles because
it dilates peripheral blood vessel
walls. 1t speeds blood flow at
the point of pain and helps
fatigued muscles get back to
normal faster.
Whenever muscles become
stiff and sore from overexertion,
use refreshing Absorbine Jr. See
how much faster you feel better.

Keep the gyms open!

While families who live in cities face special
problems as far as sports participation is con-
cened, parents, alone or organized on volun-
tary basis, can make better use of city parks for
their children. They can keep school gyms open
during the evening and on weekends, support
neighborhood boys clubs and see to it that every
child who wants to play has place to play.
There is too much at stake in the world for us
to deteriorate into race of weaklngs which will,
in turn, affect our mental and moral strength For
as the President told his Council on Youth Fit
ness: 1--WE do not want in the United States
nation of spectators. We want nation of par

Second, set play periods at regular

trust will remain with them as they grow older.
Third, we encourage our children to play all
kinds of sports so that they can learn to handle
themselves in a variety of situations and can keep
active and interested all year long,
Fourth, We emphasize running games be-
cause the Presidents Council points out that
when children are in their formative stage, run

And this country, a geographical
third of the political federation Of
the Rhodesias and Nyasaland, may
be the battle-ground on which the
issue Is decided peacefully or
otherwise.
The black African contends,
quite logically, that his historic
association with the land and
his vast numerical majority give
him the right of control
The white settler, q comparative

to political control on his exploit

The long seething discomfort Of
black Africans over the imposition
Of a government which permits a
white minority to rule, sometimes
harshly, a black majority, has fin
ally aroused concern In England
which recently took steps to rech-
ty the inequity.
The recommendation was made
IN the now famous AEOncktOn

L. interested In international af-
fairs"
The speaker was Russell A.
Jackson, editor OF The San Fran
cisco Sun-Reporter, a Negro week
ly with a circulation Of $500. And
Jackson might well have been
speaking for many other Amer
lean Negroes-in all walks Of life
who have been watching the
black mans struggle for indie
pendence in Africa.
Most of these Negroes deplore
the violence that has wracked the
Congo. They repudiate those of
their countrymen who rioted re-
Gently at United Nations head
quarters in New York. But they
are deeply sympathetic with all
that's going on In Africa. And
rising in many of them is a new
appreciation Of their heritage, q
new pride In their black skins.
Africa has aroused an aware
ness Of history In Negroes here"
says the Rev. Maurice DawlSins
Of Los Angeles. This Is quite q
trend, which started with the de-
velopment of the new nations four
or five years ago" ....
Brainwashed: Claude A. Barnett
Of Chicago, director OF the As
ISOLATED Negro Press (servicing 90
newspapers In Africa, So in the
U.S.), says this: when the Ne
groes were brought to America
as slaves, the slavers destroyed
every link with their former life
and obliterated everything tradi-
tional. They brainwashed the
slaves and taught them that moth
ing Negro was good and that black
was essentially inferior. Now, Ne
groes are taking pride in the gov
ernments being formed in Africa"
More simply. a Negro waitress in
San Francisco says:
IAN I know In that the colored
man Is more important in the
world now. The pictures in the I'm
tied Nations are full of dark men.
Maybe people in this country win
see that now. Maybe the dark
men here win get more respect"
This viewpoint seems to be less
strong in the South. where the
Negro understandably Ii more dir
ectly concerned with his own strug-
gle for racial equality.
A typical Southern comment
comes from L. d. Milton, presi-
dent Of the Citizens Trust Co. Of
Atlanta (the only Negro bank
which Is under the Federal Reserve
