COMPETING IN MISS AMERICAS CONTEST

BEAUTIFUL, talented ~Jacqueline Jeanne Mayer is Miss
America for 1868. The Miss America Pageant, which was the
24h, was held in Atlantic City, and a grand and spectacular
affair it is, with radio and televiSion coverage lasting some
two and a half hours. This contest is the most popular and
exciting of all the Mis-" contests.
EACH YEAR the pageant opens with a parade of all
candidates in sparkling gowns, many designed BY the con
testants themselves. This year there were "a young ladies,
one from each Of the SO States, plus the District OF Columbia,
New York City, Chicago, and Canada
EACH OF these contestants is sponsored by some Cham
Der of Commerce, which goes all out to provide everything
using the occasion to help promote business and keep the
name of the State or city in the news. Miss America typifies,
is held up as an example of the highest ideals of that woman,
hood. That is why the winner lives an almost fairytale lite
for the year she reigns, her every move carefully protected
and planned.
AS OF NOW these territories, which comprise part OF
America, are not included in the pageant, and SO no contest
ants are invited to attend. Perhaps it is that America is con
sidered only the continental United States, but then that ar
pument is ! found wanting because of the inclusion Of Canada
Technically, Canada is part of the North American continent
nevertheless this is supposed to be a strictly American pro-
gram, not a continental one. If that were the case the winner
would then become Miss North America.
PERHAPS the day will come when the Virgin Islands
as part of the United States may have an entry in this pa
geant. But it will not only take time, but a purity OF heart
not now in evidence. The world is growing, and with that
growth will come understanding

Negroes Rap
State Vote Laws

MERIDIAN A group

a new state law requiring publ
cation of all applicants for voter
registration is designed to keep
Negroes from voting.
About Is Meridian Negroes ap-
peared before the State Advisory
Committee to the US. Commits

ination in voting and employment.
C. R. Darden, former state pres
ident of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People. said the new registra-
ton law serves only those who
want to keep Negroes from vot-
ing
The law, enacted by the 1862
Legislature, requires til a t the
names and addresses of all appli-
cants for registration be publish
ed in a newspaper. A companion
law permits any registered voter
to challenge the good moral char.
acter" of any applicant, a prere'
uuisite to registration.
The committee, headed by Rev.
Murray Cox of Gulfport, a Is 0
heard a complaint, by Ernest S.
johnson. that many Negro teach
ers have had to bow to the "whims"
of white officials in order to get
teaching contracts.
Darden told the committee thai
a Negro family of IL was run out
of Neshoba county in the middle
of the night by white officials.
Asked why the case had not been
reported authorities. Darden
said they felt it was useless. they
are just afraid" he added.

The Guardians three annual

Peck said, and an African tour
was the next logical step in
view of the swift growth of the
new countries and their influ-
ence in world councils. For ex-
ample, instead Of the usual

discovered that more expert as
slStance can be rendered the
travellers by having local ex-
perts guide the tourists in each

that Guardian correspondents
and friends abroad are eager to
play host to the visiting groups.

is in the process of working out
arrangements for the use of

Medical cases are diagnosed
through eye tests for glaucoma,
diabetes tests, cardiographs,
tests for venereal diseases, tests
for anemia, and complete phys

Howard U. Gets $71, 1000 Grant
For Medical Screening Program

Washington, D. C. - A three
year medical program aimed at
screening and diagnosing cases
of chronic disease in Washing
toms Second Precinct has been
inaugurated by the College Of
Medicine at Howard University
under a $1,000 U. S. Public
Health Service grant.
The project, currently in op-
Grafton, concerns itself with
finding cases of chronic disease
in the early stages, and refer
ring them to public and private
medical agencies for treatment.
Directed by Mrs. Dorothy D.
Watts, instructor in community
health education and public
health nursing at Howard, the
project is called "The Second
Precinct Screening and Referral
Service"
The Second Precinct is made
up of many sub-standard homes,
and has one of Washington's s
highest rates of crime, delin-
quency and health problems.
The screening and referral pro-
ject is affiliated with the over
all community services program
currently being developed at
Howard.
In the overall program the
University is working with the
community in a cooperative eff
fort toward area betterment.
DR.. William Stuart Nelson, Uni
versity vice president, announc-
ed at a recent press conference
that Howard "is committed to
a policy of community cooopera-
tion in solving problems and
finding some effective approach
to make the community a bet
ter place to live" AS an initial
step toward this goal, a Univer-
sity Neighborhoods Council
Steering Committee has been
set up to gather information
about area problems, and deve-
lop recommendations for COM
munity betterment programs.
The screening and referral
service is conducting a block
to-block canvass Of the Second
Precinct to check cases Of chro-
mic disease and find persons
who need mx1ical care. This
is being done with the help Of
10 volunteer workers, according
to Mrs. Watts.

On Impounded
Rural Housing
Loan Funds

Washington, D. C. - Senate
Housing Subcommittee Chair
man John Sparkman d., Ala.)
revealed today that he has writ
ten President John F. Kennedy,
calling his attention to rural
housing funds which have been
Continued On Page Five)
impounded.
Sparkman said his committee
"has received an increasing num-
ber of complaints that Federal
rural housing loans are being
denied to eligible families on
our farms and in rural areas be-
cause funds for the program
have been impounded by the
Bureau of the Budget"
The Alabama Senator remind
ed the President that $3.50 Of
rural housing is substandard and
that private capital in many in
stances is not ordinarily avail
able in rural areas.
According to the Farmers
Home Administration, which is
responsible for the administra-
tion of the program, the amount
of funds needed for applications
on hand at the beginning of the
fiscal year was s160 million.
Against this demand, the Budg-
ct Bureau released only $50
million presumably for the first
quarter Of this fiscal year, but
with no assurance that addition
al funds will be forthcoming.
81 was told that the imita-
ton on use of available funds
is based on an assumption that
the program for rural housing
loans is limited to four years
and, therefore, available funds
should be spread over a four
year PERIOD" Sparkman wrote
the President. This is a complete
misinterpretation Of the 1861
Housing Act which established
a fund Of $42s million to pro-
vide direct Federal housing
loans for families in rural areas
where normal sources Of credit
are not otherwise available.
There is nothing in the law or
in the Legislative history, nor
was it the intention Of those Of
us who sponsored the 1861
Housing Act, that the terminal
date Of 1866 for this program
would imply that funds should
be parceled out over . four
year period.

INSOMNIA

Editors Note: Following is
another in a series of articles,
dealing briefly with a wide
range of common health prob

Gil of Alabama.)
Do you have trouble sleeping
at night? Tired and weary, but
just can't get to sleep? Toss
and turn for hours? If so, you
have a lot of company. Insom-
mia plaques millions Of Ameri-
cans. Almost everyone encount-
ers sleepless night now and

There is no sure cure for in
somnia. There are all sorts of
pet remedies. If you have one
that works, use it. Charles Dick
ems could sleep only in a bed
that faced north. Face your bed
north, or any other direction, if
it helps you get to sleep.
Here are some suggestions
that might help you get to
sleep:
| Make yourself as comfort
able as possible before you re-
tire. Make sure you've the right
temperature in your bedroom
Wear comfortable pajamas.
Use a comfortable mattress;
good bedsprings that won't poI
coils into your ribs and won't
sag in the middle; fitted sheets
that are harder to wrinkle
light blankets rather than heavy
ones.
Take a brief, relaxing walk
before turning in, or some milo
exercise to help tire you enough
to relax.
| There are all sorts of theo-
ries. Some people say coffee
keeps them awake. Some prefe,
warm milk or a light snack
Many people read themselves te
sleep, using everything from
comic books and mystery maga.
zines to rhythmical poetry.
| If you encounter a sleepless
night now and then, don't fight
it. Just lie there and relax. The
rest will do you good. Unless
your insomnia is deep-set, the
chances are that you will ge,
enough sleep after you finally
drop off. -
