, ings.
Others took the view that Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan had
been right when he refused to
cancel his visit to South Africa
last year because of some British
protests that he would identify
himself with apartheid.
This section of British opinion
| held the view that it was better
to keep maintaining contacts with
South Africa rather than freeze
it into sullen isolation in which
Colored South Africans would be
the worst sufferers.
Several MPs in the Commons
also cited Mr.. Macmillan's "wind
of change" speech in Cape Town
Feb. 8, 1860, as an example of
the best way to approach the
problem of South Africa and it's
racial POLICY. The argument was
that the speech encouraged those
whites in South Africa who are
fighting against apartheid.
An editorial in the Conserva-
tive Daily Mail says: as GU h
Africa is a Commonwealth coun-
try. To have called off this naval
visit, as some are demanding,
would have been deeply resented
at the very time when critical
Commonwealth discussions are ap-
preaching"
But a fortnight challenge to
this argument came in the House
of Commons from a distinguished
sailor, Vice-Admiral Hughes Hal
lett. He expressed sympathy with
the British Admirality's dilemma.
But he added: Cannot the South
African government be told that
if they wish to have these friend
ly visits in the future they must
agree to behave like other govern
ments and receive all members of
British ships on equal terms
A Labor member, John Mendel-
sen, asked that South Africa be
told: eff people are good enough
to risk their lives and fight for
their country, why cannot you ac-
cept them as equals when they
come to your shores ?"
The Civil Lord of the Admiral
ity said he was sure the South
African Government would read
what had been said in the House
of Commons in Westminster.

PARISH STREET, SATURDAY
NIGHT: I was setting down indulg-
ing my saturday nights fish and
beer when along comes one Of my
tavorite Parish StrseterB who
jumped me with the question, why
il It that most Of the low down
suggestive songs arc found on the
luke Boxes in Negro Cafes and
other places ?, and why it il that
some Of the down right vulgar
songs that mostly reach the ears
Of Negroes are allowed to get by
the censor in the first place. I"
answered that it was maybe be-
cause everybody thinks that Ne
groes like the low down vulgar
and suggestive songs because no
body never complains, and in the
second place, the answer to the
reason why such songs get by the
record censors is because nobody
complains, the songs are only
heard In the Negro Community, 4
part Of the Censors business could
be giving people what they like.
kept on thinking about the SUI
ject Of songs and their effect upon
the conduct and thinking of Aunt
Haggar's Chilluns and how every
body was singing "Let The Good
Times Roll" we'll it appears that
the good times have rolled and
it soon will be the kind of times
again when the boys who used to
flash the 500 bills will be TAX
ing more and more interest in
Depression Pigs" RABBITS to you.)
I also thought about the song that
they used to sing, you're Feets
to Big" I always used to be sort
of careful about mentioning that
song around some of my friends
Of the fairer sex, who, otherwise
palatable, had been blessed with q
generous helping of the lower ex-
tremities. The other day was
told how us folks call up an tell
the welfare about needy people who
are being given assistance trying
to get their assistance cut off, even
though the cases have always been
fully Investigated by the welfare
agency. While l was still thinking
of songs over my fish and beer,
and estimating the effect of songs
like Let the Good Times Roll and
You're Feets Too Big. If there
amt never been one it looks to
me that one is sure needed because
everywhere you look one Of the
worst draw backs to Aunt Hag-
CARS Chillun's is that - You're

10 JOS Jottings

My instructor, who teaches "HU-
MAN GROWTH AND DEVELOP
MENT," said that he read an art
icle which stated that the orientals
of Asia celebrated the birthday Of
their children when the child
reaches the age of "three months"
Th"ir theory is that the nine
months that it takes the child to
develop should be counted too;
therefore, a child is a year old,
three months after birth. Now
folk, | go along with the orientals
on this theory unless it; concerns
ME- AND THE REST OF THE
AMERICAN FEMALES. You see,
We already think that we have too
many months to count and If we
have to add those extra mine" to
our age, it could be disastrous.
The only illogical lie" that q
woman should tell is the one about
her true age. We start lying about
our age when we reach the age Of
twelve. At that time we add q
few years to make US seem "grown
up" then, we start going back
wards at twenty-five and darn
near meet up where we left off
in the first place. 1t doesn't mat
ter how many wrinkles, lines and
bitches" we have in our faces, we
feel no conscious at all when we
tell our ages, and with a straight
face too.
A New York woman swore on the
witness stand, under oath before the
court that she was thirty-nine.
Her nasty-minded husband went
home and brought her birth GER
tificate back and showed it to the
judge. That sweet, liberal, clear
thinking Judge merely handed it
back to him and said, 81 will not
prosecute this lady because it is
woman's perogative to lie about
her age. If she were guilty of
only that fault, she would be about
as perfect as they come" Now
folk, wasn't he a nice Judge? There
are many types of lies that women
tell about themselves. Some Of
them are concerning their weight,
the natural color Of their hair and
their original birth places. But
the only one that is universal is
/ the "age lie." 1t seems that the
only term of mathematics that the
ladies learned in school is Sub
traction" They leave the addition
stage when they enter their twen-
ties. Taking from" gets to be q
natural habit, until they are old
enough to "draw a pension" then
the story takes another turn, but
who will believe them? How can
! you be forty-five for twenty years
and get to be sixty-two in one
year? Well the fellows understand
just how it is because they sub
tract just a "wee bit" too. See
you next week, meanwhile, l am
trying to figure out if l will be
older than by brother John this
Friday (my birthday or younger,
but | think Pm younger.

British Navy Orders co|ored Sailors
0ffship Before Going To South Africa
London Seen Heavily Entangled In Apartheid

London, Feb. 6 There is
something sad and inglorious
about the British Admirality's de-
Tense of its ENHANCEMENT with
South African racial discrimina-
ton.
The incident concerns Her Ma
jesty's aircraft carrier Victorious
which was instructed by the Ad-
mirality to disembark half doz-
en- or so Colored naval ratings
before proceeding to South Afri-
ca on a goodwill visit.
The action was said to have
been decided on to safeguard the
ratings from any indignity they
might suffer in a county whose
official POLICY is one of aparth-
cid or racial segregation.
Storm of Protests
The face of the Civil Lord of
the Admiralty, Ian Orr-Ewing,
was very red when he experienced
storm of protests in the House
of Commons. He upheld the Ad-
mirality's action and in consequ-
ence brought upon himself the
wrath not only of Labor and Lib
eral MPs but also of some Con-
servatives, including a doughty
naval MP, Vice-Admiral Hughes
Hallett.
The storm over the Colored ma
val ratings rumbled round the
Commons all Monday afternoon
and evening. Several attempts
were made to persuade the speak
er to adjourn the sitting to con-
slider a matter of urgent public
concern, namely the British sur
render to the dictates of South
African racial policy.
The speaker resisted. But the
Commons was reluctant to leave
the issue there. And in the late
evening the Liberal members of
the Commons tabled a motion de-
ploring the Admiralty decision
which it alleged appears to con-
done South Africa's racial poll
cies and is wholly inconsistent with
any system of joint Commonwealth
defense"
The issue was headline news
in the papers. This reporter did
some sounding out of opinions of
the man and woman in the street.
Opinion appeared to be con-
siderably divided. On balance it
seemed that Britons were indig-
nant that here was another ey-
ample of the embarrassment and
tribulation which can be suffered
by other countries through asso-
citation with South Africa and its
arartheid doctrine.
Some comments were to the eff
feet that it would be good rid
lance to have South Africa leave
the Commonwealth since here was
another example of how other
countries had to compromise with
their principles because of the un-
natural segregation of human be-

American Homes
.InadequateIy
Illuminated

Less than one percent of the
homes in America are adequately
lighted-and yet, some of the
worlds most revolutionary de-
velopments have been made in
lighting equipment in the United
States in recent years.
So representatives of Mississip-
pts electric industry are telling
various rural and urban groups
during National Electrical Week
Feb sill.
A major industry in Mississippi
the electric industry nationally
employs more than 100000 peo-
pie in the production of electricity
and the manufacture of goods and
services.
The week, which commentaries
the February 18th birth date of
Thomas Alva Edison, also heralds
the birth of Edison's first electric
light bulb in October, 1879. The
first commercial bulbs were put on
the market in 1881.
Appropriately, Mississippi's cleo
trio industry has chosen better
sight through better lights as the
main theme of the week. For
example, representatives point out
that ga high percentage of poor
eyesight can be traced directly to
poor lighting"
From Edison's first revolution
airy but small wattage bulb, the in
dustry has developed modern day
lighting such as today's luminous
walls and ceilings. Such realities
illustrate the dramatic advance
ment of the industry.
In other fields, the electric in
dustry representatives point to
such progressive development as
the recently announced electrical
anasthesia, developed by Univer-
sity of Mississippi Medical Center
surgical team, and successfully
used for the first time in perform
ing an operation.
They cite the fact that sound
waves are being used in ultrasonic
cleaning of dishes and equipment,
that thermo electric equipment is
on the market for heating or cool
ing, that electric cars are no longer
a Pigment of the imagination. One
electric car is in use by a utility
in Jackson.
That the electric industry in this
country remains a world leader is
illustrated by the fact that with
only 6 percent of the worlds popu-
lation, the United States produces
nearly 40 percent of all its cleo
tricity.
Mississippi's electric industry
points out that this country pro-
duces more electricity than the
combined output of Russia, the
United Kingdom, Canada, West
Germany, France and Italy. Russia
is where the United States was 20
years ago.
The Russian home uses about
400 kilowatt hours per year, while
the average for the United States
is $500, or nine times as much.
In Mississippi alone, one inves-
tor-owned utility cities the fact

AIIerqic Patient Gets Attention

It was a cool noon. There
was a smidgin Of brine in
the breeze. 1t fluffed the
Mau Mau coiffures of the
palms and it followed a
young man who limped
across the Key Biscayne
shopping center. He was
tubby and he wore blue
shorts and a white T-Shirt.
His eyes were planed with
pain.
He walked into the little
medical center, and leaned
on the receptionist'S desk.
Mrs. Margaret Haney, a tiny
woman in white uniform. was
tipping appointments. "Yes?"
she said, without looking up.
The young man licked his
lips. I'm in bad pain, Miss"
he said. "I was swimming
and a Portuguese Man O.

THE MAN O. WAR is q
floating blue bubble with jel-
ly tentacles. When it touches

posit which burns, sometimes
for days. Mrs. Haney called
q nurse, Mrs. Eva Hannen-
fent.
The young man told his
story. Mrs. Hannenfent said
that the doctor was busy, but
that she could take care Of
the matter. She took him
into a small cell called an
examining room. She sat
him on an operating table
and looked at his ankles.
They wer raw and swelling.
She got some ointment.
The young man sat with
his legs dangling. He began
to pant. Better tell me what
that ointment is," he said.
I'm hyper-allergic." The
nurse looked up at him. ITO
what?" she said. He gasped.
ITO penicillin, to morphine,
to Sulfa-so many things"
His voice became husky and
his eyes began to bug. Il

pulled his T-shirt down.
There were scars at the base
Of his throat.
The nurse knew that,
sometime or other, doctors
had punctured holes in his
throat to permit him to
breathe. She went into DR..
John Handwerker's office.
