African Students
At 1uskegee
Celebrate
Independence
OF Homeland

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-Nearly
5000 miles from home, a handful
OF Sierra Leone student at Tuske-
gee Institute celebrated the indie
oendence of their homeland with
songs, dances and prayers here
Friday night.
In a small auditorium with Afri-
can decor, the Sierra Leonans and
about 80 guests sang the new ma
tons National Anthem and prayed
for peace and strong and wise
leadership"
Although only three Tuskegee
Enthusiastically A. o. C. Jones,
Rogers A. D. Jones, and Lawrence
e. Rogerson-are natives of Sierra
Leone, dozens of African students
donned native garb for the celebra-
ton.
Keynote speaker was Charles E.
Trout, assistant director for Insti-
tutional Development at Tuskegee
In 1916, he had visited the former
West African British protectorate
as an agricultural advisor for the
State Department.
Mr.. Trout told the group that
human rights and freedom fol
century-old colonies and protecto-
rates around the globe are chang
ing the old concepts of interna.
tional relations in what we might
call-this moment in history"
He reminded the students that
with freedom come "great and
heavy responsibilities" Freedom
is conquest and never a bequest,
he said, quoting Tuskegee founder
Booker T. Washington.
He added, that Sierra Leone will
need swift aid in loans and techni-
cal assistance if the country is to
sustain its sovereignty.
Mr.. Trout then urged Sierra Le-
one students to return to their
country to offer whatever aid they
could after completing their educa-
ton here.
Crowned as queen of the celebra-
ton was Miss Shirley Trick, 9
freshman from Newark, N. J.

Job|ess Rally Asks Congress
For Back To-Work' Legislation

$1.25 an hour to the Z million work
ing Americans now being paid 40
cents to 81 an hour.
Add a health care program to
the Social Security structure, and
raise the level of Social Security
benefits for all covered groups.
Other measures called for in the
resolution include an area redevel-
opment program providing special
help for unemployed workers in
depressed areas; a speedup in plac-
ing government contracts in labor
surplus areas; reduction Of FILA
interest rates to As percent or less;
and a gradual cut in working hours
without loss Of take-home pay.
The Fair Labor Standards Act
should, the resolution concluded.
provide for periodic review Of the
workweek so that workers may,
through shorter hours enjoy "an
increasing measure of creative and
purposeful leisure" instead of "suf-
fering the wasteful idleness of un-
employment"
Reuther said the JAW will fight
for job security at the bargaining
table and on Capitol Hill. The
union, he said, in its coming nego-
tiations with the auto industry, will
seek an annual wage for blue col
lar workers, reduction of working
hours with no cut in pay, and i'm
proved pension and supplemental
m p YIN ent benefits. He
stressed the need, in addition, fol-
federal aid in helping jobless work

Employment Upswing
Recorded In State

A small increase in employment
! in Mississippi during March was
recorded, with the upswing in sew
eral fields termed significant. A
total of $4,000 workers was up
300 from February, with part of
the increase seasonable but some
advances in industries. Manufac-
turing payrolls turned upward in
March. Most gains were small
but indicated an increase in de-
mand for certain goods. Norman
ufacturing employment changes
reported during the February
March period were of a seasonal
nature.

however, a spendthrift pattern sim
liar to that of some other get-rich-

Urges Support
OF Arthritis And
Rheumatism
Foundation

There are IL million arthritics in
the United States; $4,000 in Mis-
sissippi and there are 10000 in
Kinds County. Statistics have
proven that seven out of ten of
these victims can be rehabilitated.
All patients can be helped to the
point that they can become indie
pendent in caring for themselves.
The sufferers of arthritis present
terrific economic problem for
when the victims become bedridden,
they are taken from gainful en-
ployment as well as the people who
have to stay home and take care
of them. Then there is the ter
rifle expenses connected with the
treatment of this chronic disease,
not to mention the tortuous pain
for the patient. The Arthritis and
Rheumatism Foundation find s
there is a great need to liberate
these people to become wage earn
ers-so that self-respect can be re-
stored to them. 5a Der
! Arthritis is a terribly painful,
long-duration disease for which,
at the present time, there is. no
known cure. Because of this fact
and the suffering, the patient often
turns to quackery which offers a
quick relief from pain. This is one
of the most diabolical crimes that
we have because it plays on the
emotions and sufferings of the i'll.
Over three million dollars in Mis-
sippi are spent on frauds each year.
The Arthritis program was only
organized in the state of Missis-
sippi last year, and we have only
one clinic at the University Medi-
cal Center. Another clinic is badly
needed and this will cost a consid-
cradle amount. There are no mo-
bile units in the State of Mississip-
pi at this time. There is only one
minor loan closet operating at the
present time Columbus-none in
the Jackson trade area.
At the present time, we are put
ting on a capital investment drive
for a minimum of $4,000 in Jack
son and requesting that the sur
rounding area supply their proper
tionate part to bring this up to a
minimum of $12,000-which is alb
solutely necessary.
This money will be used to pur-
chase a mobile unit to call on the
homebound patient under the di-
rection of a physician and stated
with a physical therapist; the
equipment for a clinic to treat pa
tients that are ambulatory; and the
loan closet of self-help devices to
aid the arthritis victim in becoming
independent in caring for himself.
The education of the public is
another phase which is sadly need
ed-to make the public aware of
the needs of the arthritics and the
facilities that can be made avail
able for their treatment. The arth-
ritis office at 906 North State
street will furnish anyone inter-
ested with booklets and pamphlets.
Certainly everybody ought to get
out to support this drive. One dol
lar for every arthritic in Kinds
County would put it over. Checks
can be made payable to "ARTH-
RITIS" and mailed to 906 North
State Street.

Mississippi Near Top
In Rice Production

Mississippi's rice acreage in 1860
was exceeded only by four other
states. Mississippi is fifth among
rice growing states; and long
grain varieties are most popu-
lar, largely because they bring
better prices. They were grown
on 90 per cent of the states rice
acreage last year. Tests show that
varieties now being grown in Mis-

Council
 Although 1t will be several months before your baby starts to walk, you must plan now to give those little feet some thought and care if you want him to go through life comfortably.
 In the beginning, your baby should be encouraged to creep but never persuaded to walk too soon. When a baby's muscles, balance, and confidence have developed he will stand or walk of his own ac- cord-but when helped to stand or walk too soon the legs and feet may become weakened and their de velopment retarded in other ways.
 AS soon as the child shows an in clination to stand, soft-soled shoes should be fitted, but the child's feet should always be protected with socks. Some pediatricians feel bhat mercerized cotton socks equal ize the temperature of the chlid's feet and aid the body circulation.
 It is extremenly important that bootees and first socks be properly fitted. They should be large enough to avoid any pressure on the soft, developing foot structure. One-size stretch socks, supposed to fit chiI- dren of several foot sizes, can re- strict the foot like tight shoes as the foot grows and cause toes to curl under.
 The proper sock for child's foot is one that extends a good half-inch beyond the longest toes. Many mothers prefer moisture absorbing durene mercerized cotton yarn.
 The first-step shoes, as well as the first walking shoes should be at least three-quarters of an inch longer than the toes (which is the width of your thumb), and wide enough so that you can draw the leather slightly together with your fingers over the top of the toes.
 Although every foot has its own growth schedule, most size changes take place every one to two months up to the age of six. When shoes or socks become too tight, they constrict the feet, deform the toes, and prevent the feet from func- tioning freely.
 Foot growth and shoe sizes should be re-ehecked every few months. Both feet should be meas ured and the longest and widest measurements accepted as the cor rect size.

ALL ABOUT BABIES.
4 Public Service of the National Baby Care Council

If you think your child is de veloping any kind of foot trouble, have his feet examined by podia- trist, chiropodist or orthopedist who can also advise you about the right kind of socks and shoes for your baby's feet.

While Bob Is in his early forties
he looks much younger. Last year
he retired as a Major in the us.
Army after serving 20 years.
Until last September he was sta
toned as chief Of Radar for dis
lance early warning in Alaska on
the Artic Ocean.
He Is always well-dressed, al
though he claims he doesn't care
about clothes and doesn't pay
much attention to them. He has
an especial fondness for bow-tes
He argues, and vehemently, for
what he believes in. He doesn't
hold grudges.
One of his favorite subjects Is
the little guy or the Negro situa'
ton and feels that II he can con-
vert one person a day he has &C

baked potatoes and navy bean
soup. His favorite drink is Scotch.
Most of his life he wasn't a big

his many friends who gave him a
helping. C"YOu take all the hard
knocks and just keep going. That's
always been my philosophy.
He doesn't make a decision be-
fore talking it over with his wife,
Mary-Jane. He phones her at least
three times a day from his work.
He is a handy man around the
house, when he has time.
Bob is continually in good hui

have never seen him angry.
Likes sport cars, boxing shows,
baseball Johnny Blanchard is his
favorite ball player ("Anything
with lot Of action In it.")
He calls almost every female
"sweetie." ('Tts easier than re-
membering names and they
like it.")
Bob likes to read in bed. He al
ways enjoys a hot glass Of milk
before retiring. He sleeps In pa
