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 a
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 it 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.
FantasticalIy 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 communi-
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 intelectuals
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
35 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 will be affected

trations are not dealth with more

Jones was one of today's mech

his death he had a surprising

was put in charge of all the mech

During World War I, Fred en-

after the war he found life full

need Of repair. If he didn't have
the required part, he made it him.

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

up the nickname OF Casey.
Teaning 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

After quitting racing Jones be-

His machine costing less then

Only Six Lots
Left In Briery
Club Estates

KEYSVILLE, Oct. 10 = The
real estate committee of Briery
Country Club near KeySville re-
ported to the board of directors
Tuesday night that only six lots
are left in Briery Country Club
Estates.
Chairman of the committee,
Avis w. Thompson. stated that
these were desirable building
lots and that in size they are $50
by 200 feet and will be sold for
$3.50. He pointed out that in ad-
dition to being in the quiet coun-
tryside area on hard-surfaced
road, they are near the beautiful
nine hole golf course and SWIM
ming pool.
"Briery Country Club Estates
is a restricted area in which
homes must be above $l2, 5OO,"
he said, land one very lovely
home, that of DR.. r. D. Ais
worth, was completed last fall"
The golf course committee re-
ported that the greens and fair
ways were in excellent shape.
The directors voted unanimously
to invite the Hampden-Sydney
golf team to use the course for
some of their matches. They also
said that if Randolph Henry High
School organized a golf team it
would be invited to use the
course for their matches.
A committee was appointed to
drain the swimming pool for the
winter.
A discussion was held on
whether members should be re-

supervisors a survival plan and
discussed the possibility of a
fallout shelter.
T. B. Hall, chairman of the
board, asked Chesney to obtain
additional information on posi-
BILE fallout shelter so that plans
may be presented at the next
meeting.
Chesney told the group that
everyone should start thinking in
the way of survival, and that
the county government should be
organized and strengthened to
act in case of an emergency. He
explained the county survival
plan. This includes services such
as police and fire protection.

1861 Traffic Death Toll Mounts

/ which killed more than one per-
son each, as against so killing
108 for 1905 first nine months.
Here, Colonel Woodson explained
that the element of i'll luck is
present, since people who hap
pen to be occupying the cars in
volved die through no fault of
their own and with no oppor-
tunity Of preventing the crashes.
Noncollision crashes, or those
involving no contact with an
other car or solid object, ran to
1879 which killed 221 people. The
similar 1860 totals were 1874
crashes and PIP deaths. This type
Of crash accounted for 1868 per
cent of all crashes.
This terrible trend simply
cannot be explained adequately"
Colonel Woodson commented. "at
the end OF 1860, Virginia saw her
third consecutive year Of death
reduction and no serious upward
surge was experienced until Au-
gust, when we had every hope Of
overcoming the relative small
average which existed. We can
only point to the fact that the
tolls for August and September
last year were well below aver
age"
Concluding rather pessimisti-
cally, Colonel Woodson stated
that the 1861 score was still sub
ject to some increase due to late
reports and deaths of those now
carried as injured, which revert
statistically to dates of injury,
and that initial reports indicate
that the trend is continuing into
October.
