eating with sulphur candles

Municipal Court yesterday to a
woman apartment dweller and
the pharmacist who sold her
the candles.
Rosa Stratton, 81. of the 100
block Of North Capitol street,
and George Robertson, 80,

with a lethal gas without a per-
NIT. Judge Joseph M. F. Ryan,
jr., sentenced them to SIS or
10 days. then suspended both
penalties.
Police Pvt. Robert r. Gore
said firemen called to the,
Stratton apartment on October
Il by neighbors who smelled
smoke found three sulphur
candles burning there.
Mr.. Robertson was charged
after Miss Stratton said she
bought the candles at his store,
the Community Pharmacy, 1130
Maryland avenue NE.
In a hearing before the
court case, Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Clark F. King said
selling sulphur candles is not
illegal, but that using them
without a permit is. He said,
Robertson "aided and abetted"
the illegal fumigation.
DR.. Frederick H. Goldman.
head of the Public Health De-
partment's engineering divi-
sion, said most druggists have
voluntarily withdrawn the can
dies from sale in the District.
He said the poisonous gas
they produce is dangerous to
humans but relatively ineffec-
tive on vermin, which move out
and return when the gas dis
perses. Several more modern
and safer exterminating meth
ods are published by teh De-
partment of Agriculture. he

ago, this writer suggested, that If
he really feared from the first that
Khrushchev only interest in the
Negroes of this country is to use
our often ruptured race relations
as grist for his propaganda mills.
He has carefully refrained
from offering one word of en-
cOuragement to the American
Negro in his struggle for full
citizenship; and the few Negroes
who had hoped for such word
have been terribly disillusioned.
There is nothing in communism
for the American Negro and Khru-
shchevs silence on the subject
should be sufficient proof thereof.
But this release is an humble at
tempt to extol the greatness of
Atlanta as a whole, white and Ne
gro, and the thought was inspired
by Atlanta's quick reaction to the
new racial policy of the Metropon-
tan Opera Association.
Within recent weeks Adolph
Bing general manager of the as
ISOLATION announced that hence
forth the Metropolitan Opera would
not be offered to segregated audi
ences. This of course excluded At
lanta which was one of its i'm
portant stops.
But Manager Bings' announce
ment has scarcely cleared away
when an announcement went out
from Atlanta that segregation in
the Metropolitan opera in Atlanta
had been abandoned. Atlanta had
risen to great moral heights when
she served notice on the world that
she thought more of Grand Opera
than she thought of race prejudice.
Atlanta's great gesture of civic
righteousness was a moral tonic
and served in many ways to
redeem the South in the eyes OF
the nation and world.
Some scathing things have re-
Gently been said of the South be-
cause some scathing sayings had
been deserved. But Atlanta has
proved that she is different, and
it may be this difference that
makes it the greatest city of the
South, with a cast of moral splen-
dour, so wildly portrayed when it
dared to show the nation and world
that there are things it prizes more

you to select the kind of work you
want to do. All am asking, is
that you stay in school, now. Do
not quit school until you prepare
for the future"
So, Carl unwillingly quit his
job, and found a part time job
because his parents could not af-
ford to pay his way through school
but they did all they could to help
him with the tuition. He was able
to earn enough after school hours
to carry him through six years OF
schooling.
Said Carl: Some of my friends
forgot me because 1 could not
afford the time nor the money to
keep up with them 1 naturally
missed them, but once I had set
my goal, nothing kept me from
trying to reach it"
Carl has accepted a position on
the staff Of an "A" High School and
will start teaching within a few

friends not to quit school now in
order to keep a job they think
will be all they will need in the
future.
Six years ago Carl was working
and making what he thought was
a very good salary. His parents
talked to him and tried to show
him how wrong he was to quit
school before preparing himself
for a job that he could at least
know would pay fair salary and
give him a small sense of security,
at least.
He listened to their ideas and
then decided he would also talk it
over with a teacher who had told
him he should continue with his
schooling. She had told him, you
are qualified in many ways to
make a very good teacher and you
have a way with children because
I have noticed you when your
younger brother asked you to help
him understand how to work out
some of his school problems. You
did not work out his problems for
him but you took the time to show
him how to do them himself and
you explained each step of the
way so even a small child could
understand the method. That is
what the teaching profession

than segregation and the CONGO
infants thereof.
The question of the why of
Atlanta's greatness inevitably
presses for an answer and the
answer is not hard to find. At
lanta has one of the greatest of
our nations mayors. Mayor Harris
field could not in any sense Of the
word be called a Negro-lover, but
he is an Atlanta-lover without
compare.
He appreciates what 1t Is to be
the mayor Of a great, proud city
like Atlanta. 1t makes a great
difference with him how At
lanta looks In the eyes of the
world.
He is not willing to hide behind
the way of life in the South" and
see his fair Atlanta disgraced.
But long before great Mayor
Hartsfield and his progressive out
look, there was the Atlanta Con-
stitution with its world vision and
the present cultural and moral
climate can be laid as a tribute at
the feet of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton, the South's greatest news
paper that always looks beyond
the South and nation at the sterner
realities of the world.
And this brings us to Editor
Ralph McGill the Constitution
matchless editor. Words fail the
writer when he would speak words
Of appreciation about Editor Nc
Gill, whose influence for good ex-
tends around the world. Atlanta
has never stampeded before the
prospects of indignation.
A less able and farsighted editor
of the Constitution could easily
have stampeded Atlanta and Geor-
gia and the South and terrified the
nation. But Editor Ralph McGilrs
was always a voice of reason and
calm. Being calm himself the Con-
stitution was calm and with the
Constitution, Georgia was calm;
and this had a calming effect of
the entire South.
The moral climate in Georgia
was such that what happened in
Athens was but of 4 few hours
duration with reason soon taking
over.

reactions to Americans as a
first time visitor.
He worked with Andre
Anouge, Victor Belestri, Gene
Smith of New York, Mr.. Vim
cent of Washington, D. c., and
Anthony Cesario of Philadel-
phia. His praise was deserved
they are exciting, dedicated
technicians. He also praised
the new Vital Look in styling
simple colts designed to
mold the head and highlight
color. Blondes are very desir-
able in Europe and ClairoPS
shades of blonde made his eyes
bright with appreciation.
l sometimes wonder whether
we ladies tend to be unfair to
the hairstylist who does so
much to complement our
beauty. We take his work for
granted, but actually he is an
artist with a comb and I, for
one, vote him my thanks and
appreciation.
At last here's that an
nouncement. The plane is ready
to take off for Miami. Hope I

Miss America Race
Still LiIY.Whife

Atlantic City, N. J. (ANP) -
The Miss America Pageant"
which closed here Saturday night
with a live telecast over the CHS
Network, remained tradionally lily
white, despite the admitted pres
ence in such states and territories
as New York, Chicago, Hawaii and
the Virgin Islands of scores Of
sepia and ebony-hued beauties.
There simply were no Negro
contestants among the 55 Compel
itors wing for the coveted honor.
The SIS represent so states, plus an
entrant each from New York, Chi
cago, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico and Canada.
However, it appears that no eff
fort was made to canvas Negro
adorables, as to date, no mention
has been made of the names of
any even in the preliminary draw
ings. Beauty among Negro women,
it would seem from their total
omission, just doesn't exist.
Meanwhile, the sponsors were
glad to give out these statistics
on the current white contestants:
Twelve were blondes, one was a
redhead, two are authenticated
and the rest were brunettes, vary
ing in hair shade from light brown
to raven. They ranged in age from
Is to %.
Three were undergraduates Of
the University of Mississippi. The
entrant from North Carolina was

Lord grant me now an open mind,
Receptive, eager, quick to learn
The truth my teachers would impart;
Give me the wisdom to discern
The right from wrong; give me the power
To concentrate; give me your sure,
Strong light Of Truth to guide my way
Through passages that seem obscure;
And let me know that You are near
When I must go to face test;
Erase my every thought of fear;
Help me, Lord, to do my best.
Bless my teachers, Speak through them
In clear and loving words
And give them the selfless joy that comes
From having helped a soul to live.
Help me retain what have learned
And use the wisdom possess
To reach my goal, to build life
