A qualified staff offers the
special techniques and methods
which give the children, besides
regular classroom activities,
speech therapy, adapted physical
education, music, arts and crafts,

sal. We also know how easy it is fol
excited police officials to generalizt
about Negroes when they encountel
acts of violence that are not directly
related to race relations.
When police officers talk like
this, they do not make headlines,
for what they had TO say was not
inflammatory. But the fact that it
is not news" in the ordinary sense
does this mean it is unimportant.
Actually it is the biggest kind of
news. 1t is the kind of development
that can only take place in demo-
cratic society where fundamental
issues, no matter how momentarily
disruptive, can be discussed until
eventually they are resolved.

Public Power Pays
$5.7 Million
Cut In Rates
By Be Hydro
nerican Public Power Associa,

| American Public ROVER ASSOCIATION
VICTORIA, B. C.-Electric ane
gas rate reductions expected to save
consumers almost $5.7 million year
have been announced by DIR. G. M
Schrum and DIR. Hugh l.. Keenleyside
cochairmen of the British Columbia
Hydro and Power Authority.
The rate cut is believed to be the
largest ever put into effect by any
utility in North America. Combined
with a $5.5 million reduction an
nounced last year the new reduction
will add total of SLIP million in
buying power to the province, it was
explained.
The provincial government took
over the major private utility in
British Columbia-B. C. Electric Co.
in 1861. The newly-acquired sys-
tenn was merged with B. c. Hydro
in April, 1862, to form the B. c.
Hydro and Power Authority.
The combined effect of the two
reductions announced since the take
over will mean a drop of nearly 174o
in Authority revenues from residen-
tial accounts in the coming fiscal
year.
Principal benefit of the new cuts
will be felt by users of electricity for
commercial purposes. They will get
an annual 3avings of $2,850,000. Resi-
Dental electric consumers will get
a saving of SIS million, and residen-
tial and small commercial gas con-
sumers will save Sill million. Minor
savings will go to various other clas-
sifications.
While commercial customers obtain
the largest share of these new reduc-
lions, Hydro spokesman said last
years reduction went entirely to resi-
Dental consumers, giving that class
of electric users total cuts of &c.
100000. Also, the residential rates
all over the Province were equalized
last year when a postage stamp
rate" was introduced.

To vaccinafe a Nation

Over the next three years, $3.50
of the total population of Bolivia will
be vaccinated against smallpox, under
an agreement signed by the Pan
American Sanitary Bureau (the re-
gional office for the Americas of the
World Health Organization of the
United Nations). The program will
affect 100000 persons and is de-
signed to maintain maximum immun-
ity against the disease, in the first
such campaign since 1858. After al
most 800 of Bolivians were vacci-
mated at that time, the annual total
of cases reported dropped from 604
in 1857 to seven in 1859, and to
one in 1860.

Accidents of All Types Cause
Loss Of $4,000, 600 Days

In the two years from July 1859
to July 1861, people of the U.S.A.
spent 114,00O,O0O days in bed re-
covering from accidents. This grim
picture is the official report of the
Public Health Service, an agency of
the US. Department of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare.
Announcing results of national
health survey, Luther L. Terry, Sur
geon General of Public Health, en-
phasized that the 114,000,000 days
lost applies only to persons still liv-
ing. Those killed in accidents, or
those who died before the survey
was made, represent an additional
sad waste.
"The total loss to the nation from
over 10000 accidental deaths and
about 45,0OO,00O injured persons each
year represents a toll which no one
can view with equanimity," DR.. Terry
said.
The Public Health survey blames
falls and traffic accidents for more
than half of all the beddays. Falls
accounted for 81 per cent, traffic
accidents for 10.
The survey applied not only to
working people, but also to school
children, housewives and other men,
bers of households.

"Nincompoop" is telescoped version
of the Latin mon compos mentis"
mentally incompetent.
cts amazing how picturesque
some ordinary words turn out to be,
upon investigation.
Disaster" is from the Latin for
stars; astrologers believed stars had
both benevolent and malignant
phases, the latter leading to "dis-
aster". 'fPreposterous' amusingly,
is a combination of the Latin fprae",
before, and "osterus', behind. sCal-
culate'' is from the Latin "calculi'',
little pebbles used by the Romans to
cast their votes-and reckon up their
gambling debts. "Cliche" is French
for a stereotype plate in printing;
"conjugaP' means what many hus-
bands may have suspected "yoked
together.
On the other hand, what student
would connect grammar" with
"glamor?" Yet word experts know
that both derive from an old Scottish
word for "magic spell
ago, grammar conveyed the idea of
mysterious lore.
Would you ever guess that idiot,
in the original Greek, simply meant
ga man who holds no public Officer"
Or that Kidding, in it's early 10th
century meaning, was 'ato amuse or
divert your victim while your accom-
plice robbed him?" Or, for that mat
ter. that "robe" and "rob" are re-
lated words-the idea being that
robber bedecked himself in the spoils
stolen from his victimi
Another pair of verbal relatives
is "shrew'' and shrewd" formerly
spelled sfshrewed'). "Crummy'' or
"crumbly" scant hundred years ago
was a term of high praise-it meant
good, handsome, buxom. sBuxom",
incidentally, has also changed it's
meaning drastically-it used to mean
"obedient'' "pliable" lin it's old form
the word was ''bough-some", i.e.,
bending like the bough of a tree.)
Some words, however, are always
stable. People have been joking about
"elbow- grease since 1872, talking
about ''the gift of CAB" even longer.
("Gab'' is a very old Gaelic word for
mouth.) And it has always been safe
TO call the boss, the boss-ever since
we borrowed the word from the
Dutch ''baas', master!
Whether it requires grammar" or
"elbow-grease" t 20 impress your
'tboss", here are a few rules to re-
e. L.
or gossip outside the family And
if you also watch your 'megatane"
rating, you may avoid "cliche" and
really "cook with gas''. - THE

paign one might enormously con-
clude that Washington's Negroes are
unconcerned about what is happen
ing, or doing nothing to improve the
situation.
Johnson's probing does not bear
this out. While there is strong
Black Muslin movement with it's
anti-white hate emphasis, there seem
to be no Adam Clayton Powells in
Washington's Negro leadership.
Handling criminals is day-to-day
job of the police department, but
Graduating or reducing the causes of
crime seems to be no different in
Washington than any other city.
One Negro minister has summed
it up this way:
The situation is ugly. Why? Be-
cause the city is overcrowded with
Negroes who migrate northward look
ing for work. The husband finds a
Job but it isn't much of a job. Rent
is high and two or more families
crowd into small quarters. The wife
works. When they come home at
night they are both tired. Emotional
explosions are frequent. The kids
are uncared for and run wild.
The road to crime, in Washing
ton as elsewhere, it would appear,
is lined with substandard housing
and substandard schools. Mix such
ingredients with substandard wages
and the wonder is that there are
not more explosions along the
Potomac.

LOOKED AT PROBLEM
WITH POSITIVE APPROACH

What was remarkable about the
conference, reports Mr.. Lewis, is that
for the first time Southern police Of
ficials concentrated not on how Ne
groes threaten our way of life" but
on chow we can be impartial law
enforcers in situation best resolved
in courts and legislatures"
What underscored the changed at
titude were the comments made by
several of the police chiefs them
selves. One, who came from small
town, said to reporter after meet
ing Roy Wilkins of the NAACP,
James Farmer, the national director
of CORE, and other Indignation lead
ers:
81 had expected to meet two de-
mons. But after talking to them, l
can see that they are intelligent peo-
pie. They're only doing what would
do if / were in their place. Now L
know what am facing"
The chief of the Atlanta, Ca, po-
lice department, Chief Herbert J.
Jenkins, said:
"The time has come, it is here now,
when an individual cannot be denied
any public or official right or privl-
lege because he is a Negro. The de-
cision of the u. S. Supreme Court is
the law of the land Regardless
of what 1 think personally, | am pre-
pared to yield to the Judgment OF
the u. S. Supreme Court.
"Why do 1 say that? Because as
policeman there is no other position
that I can honestly take But II
a police officer is SO thin-skinned
that he is afraid of being called a
Negro-lover, because he is doing his
duty. then he is in the wrong kind of
business and should follow some other
vocation"

and to the behavior of the Mississippi
State Police in the James Meredith
enrolment fracas, you see what
significant change this represents.

Southern Policemen and
Negro Rights

WASHINGTON - Even though
there are long periods when the voice
/ of moderation seems silenced in the
South, eventually it makes itself
heard.
For too many months the excuses
at Oxford, Miss, have dominated the
headlines. so much so that many
Americans have begun to believe that
there was no hope for Negroes to
acquire their rights without violence.
Certainly the Black Muslin move
ment, with its emphasis on perpetu-
ating segregation, has been an out
growth of Negro Illustrations.
When for a moment it looks as if
things are quieting, there comes the
spectacle of the police department
of Birmingham, Ala, using a canine
corps" to ward off efforts by non
violent Negro ministers seeking equal
rights. Resentments flare up again;
both white and Negroes harden in
their attitudes.
There have been many episodes
which would seem to prove that
whites in the South never forget any
thing and never learn anything. Then,
when things seem darkest, something
entirely unexpected takes place. One
begins to feel, with Harry Golden,
that "only in America" can wrongs
right themselves, or that basic ideas
do seep in. that live and let live is
way of life.
Perhaps the most encouraging de-
velopment in the South has been least
reported. 1t dovetails, of course, with
the splendid work being done by
Burke Marshall, the thoughtful Wash
ington attorney, who heads the JUS
tice Departments Civil Rights Dlvi-
sion. But it is a separate development
not directly related to anything being
done by the federal government.
What is it? It's the subtle, but
no less real, danger in attitude on
the part of several high-ranking
Southern police officials about the
right and wrong way to behave
when Negroes begin to assert them
selves.
We are indebted to Alfred E. Lewis
of the WASHINGTON POST for re-
porting what has quietly been taking
place. This encouraging new develop
ment came to light during a recent
conference of the Southern Police
Institute at Louisville, KY. The meet
ing was jointly sponsored by the
Ford Foundation and the Interna-
tional Association of Chiefs of Po-
lice.
