And Trigger
Club News

The Twin City Reel and Trigger
club has officially opened its
lake property located on the shores
of Lake Splitter for all members
and their guests to enjoy this
summer.

Vernon Tinsley, Carl Fraction,
Paul Curry, and Karl Wade made
trip there during the past week
end MAY 12) to inspect the prem
Uses also to wet a fishing
line.
The Archie James and Jess Nc
CURE house and their contents
withstood the winter weather very
well. The road leading off the
main highway to the property is
in good shape.
The surrounding land is beauti-
fully green with grass and a wild
flowers her and there are starting
to bloom. Wildlife can be seen in
abundance playfully running and
flying around.
What clean smelling fresh air
we repeat, what fresh air! It is
really too wonderful to describe
in words. Our lake has risen prob
ably a foot and looks mighty pref
ty with the islands seemingly
floating on its surface.
We saw many ducks flying over
the lake and also there were many
Looms, our state bird. A beautiful
bird with very weird call heard
in the evening and early morning.
The call seems to echo from the
hills giving you the feeling you're
surrounded by the Looms.
Fishing wasn't as good as it
usually is because of the windy
and rainy weather. However near
limits of Crappies and Northerns
were caught. A few Bass were
hooked but put back to be caught
again later in their season.
The men had a good time re-
CARELESS of the weather and fair
fishing.
Summer is such wonderful sea-
son and to those of us who have a
lake shore place with a chance to
enjoy the outdoor life, we are in
deed fortunate. This club has 50
members and we are anxious to let
the other men enjoy our good for
tune also.
Would any Of you sportsmen like
to join our Twin City Reel and
Trigger club? Wouldn't you like
to be a partner in 1871 acres of
pure outdoor sporting enjoyment
on a good size beautiful lake with
many species of fish. Do you want
a private place to bring your wife
and children in the summer to
vacation or just relax from the
cares Of the city-Or bring out
of-town visitors to visit the lake
property?
These things can all be yours
and more If you join the Twin

ZION BAPTIST

AON BAPTIST
Mothers Day at Zion Baptist
church was a wonderful day. The
youth led the morning worship,
dedicating the entire service to
and paying tribute to all mothers
in the world.
Our intern minister, Rev. Henry
o. Hardy brought the morning
message, entitled, Through you,
But not from YOU.
Rev. Hardy pointed out, that a
child may come through you but
not from you because actually all
children belong to God. He only
borrows them to you. A mother
has right to Love her child. The
pride and love of life that is given
to them through you prepared
them, on their way to a better
destiny. All mothers are not
mothers simply because they have
a child. She must prepare her
child as he passes to the care or
to the cares of the world. It takes
a real mother to recognize the
fact that her child does not belong
to her, but to God. We must dedi-
cate our children to God that he
might realize and process the re-
sponsibilities as the child goes
through life because God has a
purpose for them here on earth.
Rev. Hardy continued stressing
the point that a mothers task is
one of the guidance to life and
it's her obligation to support her
child and it's the child's obligation
to return her love. This concern
| is to prepare her child for the
course of living and guidance that
will come through real life. Be-
cause life is an experience. So,
mothers, when the going gets
tough don't sit down, but keep on
fighting and the child who's moth
err gave him the best she had in
the use of love for the goodness of
God will go on to a great destiny.

on both sides or this issue has
now much of our rhetoric may be
forgotten, but there are certain
things that I will find hard to
forget.
IT will find it hard to blot out
of my mind the image of the Ne
gro citizen with a graduate degree
who had to copy page after page
of a State constitution on five
separate occasions only to be re-
jected each time because she ON
tilted a word or some of the pune
tuations
Il will not forget the case of
the Negro applicant who failed to
explain due process of law" to
the satisfaction of registrar who
not only had no legal training,
but who had less formal education
than many of the applicants.
IT know that I will remember
the Negro applicant who was re-
jected for misspellings by a regis
trar who misspelled the word mis-
spellings.
These are a few of the human
situations embodied in the At
torney Generals testimony before
the Senate Subcommittee on Con-
shtutional Rights that there are
16 counties in which Negroes of
voting age are the majority but
where no Negro Is registered to
vote, and 40 other counties in
which Negroes are the majority
and less than 5 per cent Of these
eligible are registered.
Just Few OF Injustices
These are a few of the in
justices behind the Civil Rights
Commissions dry statistics that
there are 129 counties in 10 States
where less than 10 per cent of the
eligible Negro citizens are regis
tered.
$50 it seems to me, Mr.. Presi-
dent, that there can be no real
argument about the need for legis-
lation. That much is conceded. You
don't have to have a situation In
which citizens in all of the coun-
ties or in half or even in one third
of the counties are being denied
their rights in order to have a need
for legislation. We pass bills here
to remedy wrongs against a single
person and wrongs which are much
less fundamental than the denial
Of a persons right to choose his
own government.
Have Read 18th Amendment
Now, Mr.. President, I am not
a lawyer so I cannot enter the
scholarly debate about the con-
stitutionality of this bill on the
same terms as some of my dis
tinguished colleagues. But I have
read the words of the 18th Amend
ment that the right of cit
liens of the United States to vote
shall not be denied or abridged by
the United States or by any State
on account of race, color, or previ-
GUS condition of servitude;" and
that Congress shall have power
to enforce this article by appropri-
ate legislation" This legislation
does not impair the power of
States to impose literacy require
ments, but merely substitutes an
objective standard for loose rules
which have been discriminatory
applied. If this is not appropriate
legislation" then I am not sure
how the 18th Amendment can be
effectively enforced. And I might
add that 1 have some pretty fair

II strongly feel, however, thai
the difficulties of the local situa'

difficulties involved on a nationa

delay cause the damage that car
be caused today, when all the

Our country today is the worlt
leader. Her failure affects others
than herself. No one here is una
ware that her public image is be-
ing maliciously distorted by hel
enemies as a result of racial seq
regation difficulties. The common
good of our national society seems
to me at stake. Therefore the
United States cannot afford t
wait long on this issue.
"The church cannot afford to
wait either. With secularism
trying to seize leadership and
seeking to interpret life on every
side, the church cannot delay.
Her mission In the world Is not
to follow, but to lead. For this
responsibility, she possesses both
the power and the authority. >

Thirty States Have No Literancy
Requirements
Nor am impressed with the
argument that this bill will de-
mean the value of the vote or ad-
versely affect the quality of Gov
eminent in the United States. I
would even venture to say that
there may be illiterate persons in
this nation better able to judge
candidates and the issues than
some who have mastered the arts
of reading and writing.
In fact, there are 80 States in
this nation-my own among them
do not require iteracy at
all as a prerequisite for voting,
and would be hard put to say
that these States are not as wise
ly governed as the 20 which do
impose literacy requirements. The
Observation-Disclosures bill does not
abolish iteracy as a requirement.
1t merely states that any person
who has completed six primary
grades in public school or in an
accredited private school cannot
reasonably be denied the right to
vote on the grounds of illiteracy or
lack of sufficient education. And I
find that perfectly reasonable
factual basis on which to legislate.
Only A Small Stop
MIR. President, let us keep this
legislation in perspective. 1t is
only a small step toward assuring
A m r C ans their constitutional
rights. 1t will not be of any direct
help to the millions of Negro chill
dren who are being denied their
constitutional rights by being kept
in segregated schools. 1t will not
help the millions of non-white
Americans who cannot buy or rent
home on the same terms as
whites. 1t will not break down the
barriers of discrimination in en-
ployment which keep so many
Americans in impoverished circum-
stances.
"An the Mansfield-Dirksen bill
will do is to take useful and
effective step toward assuring all
Americans the right to vote. This
is a promise we made to ourselves
almost 100 years ago. Let us take
a step to keep this promise today"
