PILGRIM BAPTIST

In spite Of blizzard conditions
q goodly number of worshippers
attended morning services. Broth
erhood was the theme Of the day,
The Children's story was beauti-
fully narrated by Miss LaRue
Brown. She used a story Of Mar
ian Anderson's life to develop two
ideas. ~ II you want something
enough, you viii work for It; (2)
If you have talent, you should use
1t.
The sermon was preached by our
pastor, DR.. Massey. He chose as
his subject Brotherhood In The
Light OF Christ, based on J. B.
Phillips translation Of the Bible.
at long to share His slfferings''
Phillip $40. DR.. Massey pointed
out that there are few christians
who really want to share the
Lords sufferings. We want to be
at the foot of the cross and pity
the Lord as He suffers. Most of
US do not necessarily want to es-
cape sin but want to escape the
consequences. -.....
E Why was Paul able to say 81
long to share his sufferings"? He
was able to say this because he
was a new creature in Christ and
understood suffering.
Paul longed to share in Christ's
sufferings because az he genuine
ly loved Christ. 1t is the nature Of
love to bear the pain Of the one
you love, or to share in the pain
Of the one you love. (2) Paul knew
suffering was involved in being
like Christ. DIR. Massey made 1t
clear that we could suffer and still
not be like Christ but to be like
Him one must bear a cross. No
christian can look upon the world
without concern or grief. Any
good christian d concerned about
everything around him. Whenever
you are concerned, you must bear
a cross because those you are con-
cerned about, do not understand.
Only those who know that to be
like Christ is to know suffering,
and feel a deep seated love for
Christ. Then and only then can
one know brotherhood. DIR. Mas
sey's closing thought was Lord!
Help me to live for others that ]
may live for Thee.

King, headed up Cinema Supplies,
Inc, in Minneapolis. Mr.. Numero
invited Mr.. Jones to join him
and soon, sound equipment made
by the Minneapolis concern was in
wide spread use throughout the
Northern Midwest including IS
theaters in Chicago. Eventually
this firm was sold to Radio Corp
grafton Of America and they
switched their attention to re-
frigerators.
AS a result of a promise by Mr..
Numero to a local trucking execu-
tive, Jones found himself invent
ing a truck refrigeration unit, the
first Of many thousands to be in
operation across the world
Mr.. Jones was largely respon-
sible for the design Of the gasoline
powered automatic refrigeration
that now keep thousands Of tons
OF food fresh on long truck hauls,
from packing house to consumer.
The cargoes they protect range
from frozen fruits to beer, baby
chicks and honey-bees, guided mis-
sic fuel and many, many more.
During the war he designed
equipment used by the armed
forces to preserve food and med
icines and to air condition field
hospitals in the South Pacific.
Fred Jones was a member Of the
American Society of Refrigeration
Engineers and his name Is on a
dozen patents in this and other
fields. He was an outstanding
figure in the science Of refrigera-
ton and certainly one Of the out
standing top engineers Of the
country.
Designer, engineer, idea man,
trouble-shooter and expert mech
anic, Jones's loss viii be felt deep
ly by not only his wife, friends
and many associates but the en-
tire transport industry.
Mr.. Jones Is survived by his wife
Lucille.

The irony and tragedy Of this
is that the main hope for the
liberation and freedom Of the
Congo lies with the United Ma
tons which the Negro extremists
are attacking. .....
There is no way to avoid the
cold war, or civil war or even q
major war in central Africa unless
the United Nations Is left In The
Congo to guide the transition to
responsibility and independence.
Yet the demonstrations are ap-
parently designed to weaken the
UN at the moment 1t Is needed
the most.
The dangers Of these demon
STATIONS for the American Negro
at home are less dramatic but
nevertheless significant. Rightly
or wrongly, these pictures on tele-
vision of American Negroes bat
ting in the galleries Of the UN in
the middle Of Adlai e. Stevenson's
speech are open to the interpreta-
ton that the demonstrators are
more concerned about The Congo
than about America.
FantasticaIly False
This is, Of course, a fantastical-
ly false impression, but it Is not
difficult to imagine how any sug-
gestion of race before country
would be used by anti-Negro rae
lists to slow down the whole pro-
cess toward racial desegregation
in the United States.
Thus the battle Of the galleries
Wednesday, If it has done moth
ing else, has alerted Washington
once more to the consequences of
Illustration in the Negro commune
ty. Strange things are happening
in the teeming Negro ghettos of
the nothern cities, Social controls
that worked for generations are
no longer working.
For example, the northern Ne
gro no longer fears going to Jail
for racial demonstrations. Partic-
ularly the young inteIlectuals
among them, who are spearhead-
ing the battle for equality regard
a jail sentence as a badge Of honor,
and many of them are as willing
to go behind bars for The Congo
as for decent housing in Chicago.
In short, we are beginning to
see a confluence of the world strug-
gle for freedom in black Africa
and the struggle for equal rights
in the Negro communities Of Amer
lea. No longer is the American Ne
gro asking, as Countee Cullen did
50 years ago, copper sun, scarlet
sea, what Is Africa to me?"
This Is an event Of momentous
and officials here are
just beginning to realize that even
their foreign policy viii be affected

trations are not dealth with more

Interment win be held at the
Fort Smelling National cemetery.
Jones was one Of today's mech
anical and engineering wizards,
who's formal schooling ended at
the sixth grade. At the time of
his death he had a surprising
number Of patents to his credit.
Having a special way with
neutrality-suspicious. is scarcely an
article, that rolls, rocks, sparks
or sputters which sometimes Jones
in his eventful life had not coaxed
into running order.
Before associating with Thermo
King. Mr.. Jones designed, built
and drove race cars in and around
Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1912 he moved
to Hallock, Minnesota where he
was put in charge of all the mech
anical equipment in the fabulous
80, 900 acre farm owned by James
J, Hill.
During World War 1, Fred en-
listed and served with the 809th
Pioneer Infantry, a Minnesota
regiment He became an electric
ian and instructor with the rank
Of sergeant.
Returning to Hallock, Minnesota
after the war he found life full
and fascinating. There were cars,
tractors and other machinery in
need of repair. II he didn't have
the required part, he made it him.
self - the more complicated the
better - For amusement he played
saxaphone in the town band, sang
in a quartet, fished, hunted ducks,
invented many items and finally
broke into automobile racing dur
ing the course Of which he picked
up the nickname OF Casey.
Teaming up with Oscar Young
gren, his employer in a local gar
age, they toured the dirt-track cir
cult, although Fred did all the
driving. Where prejudice against
Negroes made It difficult to get
hotel rooms, Younggren went in
alone, registered for himself and
"a friend" and quietly brought
Casey in later. Jones set many
track records and defeated the
late Gus Scharder who later be-
came known as king Of the dirt
tracks.
After quitting racing Jones be-
came interested In radio and with.
In a few short months many q
Hallock home boasted a Jones
built table model radio.
What really spread the news OF
this super handy man from the
prairie to the city was the way
he brought the "taIlxies" to Hal
lock. He built his own version OF
the commercial soumd-movie ma
chine.
His machine costing less then
500 had much better sound re-
production than 5000 commercial
units then In use.
BY 1880, the movies were ar
irving with sound track on the
film itself - Records were on the
way out - To make the sound
track talk, you had to tickle II
with a beam Of light only .006 Of
an inch wide.
Jones fused around with several
ideas and finally found that an
ordinary glass towel rod, ground
to a half cylinder, would focus
the Light to the necessary hair
line. Once more Hallock was In

In that 1954-55 school year, the
new Charlotte Amalie High Schl.
which was begun in May 1858
was completed by the end of
January 1855;
The Christansted High School
was completed;
Contracts were awarded for
new elementary schools in st.
John, as well as for repairs to
SCHOOLS in both ST. John and st.
Thomas; Library facilities on the
premises at the high schools were
installed;
In addition:
Overall total expenditures for
education increased from $723, 322
in 1854 to $2,049,6 19 in 1860.
Total number of teachers en-
ployed increased from 1874 in 1854
55 to 242 in 1959-60.
During the same period the
total number Of public schools
decreased from 81 to 90, paro-
chial schools increased from 8 to
10, and the number of other pri-
vate schools decreased from S to
"A net loss of one school.
At the same time, total school
enrolment increased from 1886
to 9,615; and, annual expenditure
per pupil increased from $101.13
in 1854 to $4,000 in 1860. In other
words, the cost of education has
been going up steadily; has the
quality of education gone up pro-
portionately, if at all? My answer,
with which I am sure many will
agree, is an emphatic, NO.
I believe it to be timely to ask
What has happened to the spark
which gave Us hope in 1854 that
a new era of progress in the field
of education was at hand.
I believe it is equally appro-
priateto take note Of the follow
ing facts:
|. Our schools are over
crowded.
2. We still have a long way
to go in building not only school
rooms, but our teaching staff as
well.
8. The public high schools
in these Islands are to our shame
still unaccredited.

this latter point is, possibly even
more serious is, the apparent pub
