rightfully deserves this salute
for her accomplishments, par
ticularly because of the favor
able comments received at the
Press Preview of "Red Runs the

we proudly salute Mrs. Ger
trude Baker, affectionately call
ed "Trudy" for her outstanding
record in her chosen field of
Nursing. In 1866, "Trudy" was
the first Negro woman ever to
be admitted as a student nurse
at Johns Hopkins Hospital in
Baltimore, Md. This was the
direct result of scholastic excel
lence in Pre-Nursing at N. Y.
University School of Arts and
Sciences in Manhattan, N. Y.
After graduation in 1859, she
was made a part of the Nursing
Staff and in one year was
promoted to a head nurse at
Johns Hopkins at the age of
"a. The next year, Trudy" be-
came Mrs. James Baker, wife
of 1t. James Baker, U. S. Army,
a resident Of Baltimore and a
graduate of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity. While her husband was
stationed at Fort Jackson in Co.
lumbia, S. c., Mrs. Baker re-
turned to N. c., in Feb. 1862,
to work toward her Masters De-
gree in Nursing Education at
Teachers College, Columbia Uni
versity, having received a grant
from the Federal Govt. to fur
Their her studies. Upon COM
pleting her degree courses at
Columbia in Jan. 1868, Mrs.
Baker returned to Baltimore to
join her husband, recently dis
charged from the Army. Also,

NOW We ARE
GETTING
SOMEWHERE
Joseph F. Albright

No race of people can ever
attain the acceptance and re-
spect of other peoples if it does
not first possess pride in it's
own history and accomplish
ments. This knowledge Of self
attainment can only be acquired
through the study Of the rec
ords.
I have noted lately that there
is a run on the libraries and
| bookshops across the nation by
Negroes to procure the authen-
| tic editions Of our history i. =.
the splendid works of Schuyler
| Rogers, Cayton, Frazier, and
others. Nothing could please
me more.
1t has been an extremely for
tunate circumstance in my life
that l was born in a family
| that was fiercely proud of its
racial background. From the
time I first learned to read ev-
cry thing available in print re-
/ lating to Negro history was
made available for my careful
study. This information has
been of the utmost value to me
in my forty years Of public SER
vice; it has endowed me with
the basis for profound self re-
spect.
In my hundreds of lectures
before groups Of Negro young
people l have been able to util-
ize this historical information
with pride and effectiveness. /
propose to continue this service
as long as / can speak and
write.
Being fully aware of the his
tory of my people that run back
into the very mists of time, l
have not the slightest desire or
intent to be an appendage to
any other race. AS an Ameri-
can citizen I will never be con-
tent with less than what that
fortunate citizenship entities me
to. However, in the quest for the
justice, I make it clearly under
stood every day of my life that
l feel not the slightest sense
of inferiority in making that
claim.
l am fearful that there are
far too many Negroes who, in
their zeal for "integration,"
have the erroneous belief that
wholesale association with the
white folks" will endow them
with some especial considera-
! ton. Nothing could be farther
| from the truth, and ! am living
proof Of that statement. I lived
for many years in communities
where l was the only Negro res
ident, and was completely &C.
copied by my Swedish, Danish,
Norwegian, Finnish and German
! associates not because /
attempted tc be a "colored"
white man, but because then, as
now, everyone who knew me
was aware that / was just as
proud CT my own racial heritage
as they were of theirs.
l have stated a thousand times
and repeat the assertion
now that acceptance begins
with self respect and self pride.
Nothing could be of greater
Importance to US now than to be
self respecting Negroes and
| prideful Americans, and the
second Of these categories is
insolubly bound up in the first.
Let us never be deceived about
this. The acquisition of our
rights" as citizens will mean
but little to us If we do not
walk with self respect under
that umbrella. In the final
analysis, it is the individual
regardless Of race, who must
carve the niche of acceptance
for himself or herself. Just be-
ing "integrated" will not turr
the trick; but wearing the cloak
of honor and self respect will
do it everytime.
By all means let us read the
history of our heritage, and

Catt|enlen Are
Warned Of DANGER
From NitrateS

|IIUlu VIlIQlGO
In these days when fertilizers
are being used on so many
farms, livestock owners need to
be alert to possible effects on
farm animals.
That was the word issued this
month by the American Founda-
! ton for Animal Health.
Every good farmer realizes
that fertilizers, in one form or
another, must be applied to
fields to maintain high rate
of crop production. The supply
of organic fertilizers is made
quate to meet these needs.
Therefore, use Of substitutes
has become essential on most
farms.
However, like most other
/ things, some of these can have
special problems and this can
be true of nitrate fertilizers un-
less they are properly used and
controlled by the farmer.
For example, forage on fields
which has been heavily fertiliz-
ed with nitrates and then SUBJ
jected to drought before being
grazed can sometimes lead to
illness in the livestock. Drought
sometimes seems to result in a
much heavier than normal con-
centration of nitrate in such
forage.
In animals consuming these
plants, the nitrate can become
converted to nitric in the diges-
tive tract.
The Foundation also warns
that such plants as redroot,
Russian thistle, white ragweed
and variegated thistle, especial
ly when growing on summer
fallow land, may contain toxic
amounts of nitrate.
The harm can come when the
nitric is absorbed in the body
and ties up the ability Of the
! red blood cells to carry oxygen.
In these cases, the animals may
| show symptoms of poisoning.
They may stagger, fall down,
show labored breathing, and if
untreated, they may die quick
ly.
For diagnosis and treatment
of these cases, a veterinarian
should always be called. If call
ed soon enough, he can often
save the animals by means of
intravenous injections which
help the red blood cells carry
larger supplies of oxygen to the
tissues.
1t should be mentioned that
extreme cases of nitrate
(nitrite) poisoning are not too
common. However, there can be
lesser degrees of this condition
which can also be a problem to
the livestock producer.
In cases where animals con-
sumo sub-toxic but greater than
normal amount of nitrates, the
result may, to a certain extent,
tie up carotene, which is the
forerunner of Vitamin A. In
such cases, livestock may show
! signs of Vitamin A deficiency,
even thought they are given
adequate amounts of green,
leafy alfalfa hay, good quality
! silage or yellow corn. There may
be other as yet unidentified fac
tors that also effect carotene
conversion and Vitamin A meta
bolism.
Symptoms of Vitamin A def
cheney may include night blind
| ness, aversion to bright light,

1t was the come-on stuff Join the party
and get yourself white wife or husband.
To supply the expected demand, the party
had scraped up this and that off park
benches and skid rows and held them in
stock for us. The biggest types of Negroes
were held to be just painting to get hold of
one of these objects. Seeing how flat that
program fell, it is astonishing that it would
be so soon revived Politics indeed makes
strange bedfellows.
The South had better beware in another
direction. While it is being frantic over
the segregation ruling, it had better keeps
its eyes open for more important things
One instance of government by fiat has
been rananaed doa1n its throat.
It is possible that the end of segregation
is not here and never meant to be here at
present, but the attention of the South is
directed ON What tcdS calculated to keep
as busy While more ominous things we're
brought to pass.
The stubborn South and the Midwest
kept this nation from being dragged
farther to the left than it ,UaS during the
Neao Deal.
But whdt If ii is contemplated to 80
d,Uay with the t,oo-pdrty system and ar
riue at government by administrative de-
cree? No questions alloaoed and no infor-
nation giUen out from the administrative
department? We could get more ruling ON
the same subject and more fGr-redchtng
any day. 1t pays to neigh every saying
and action, however trivial, as indicating
trend.
In the ruling on segregation, the unsuS-
pecting nation might have witnessed trial
balloon. A relatively safe one, since it is
sectional and on matter not likely TO
arouse other sections of the nation to the
support of the South. If it goes off fairly
well, precedent has been established
Government by fiat can replace the Consti-
tuition. You don't haze to credit me with
too much intelligence and penetration just
so you ,odtch carefully and think.

done for white children. The next 10 years
would be better spent in appointing truant
officers and looking after conditions in the

Those familiar with the habits Of mules
are aware that any mule, if not restrained.
automatically follows white mare
Lead white mare along country road
and slyly open the gate and the mules in
the lot would run out and follow this mare
This ruling being conceived and brought
forth in sly political medium with eyes on
1856, and brought forth in the same spirit
and for the same purpose, it is clear then
they have taken the old notion to heart
and acted on it. It is cunning opening
of the barnyard gate with the white mare
ambling past We are expected to hasten
pell-mell after her.
It is most astonishing that this should
be tried just when the nation is exerting
itself to shake off the evils Of communist
penetration. It is to be recalled that Mos

/ PROMISED GOD and some other re.
sponsible characters, including a bench of
bishops, that was not going to part my
lips concerning the United States Supreme
Court decision on ending segregation in
the public schools of the South. But since
lot Of time has passed and no one seems
to touch on what appears to be the most
important point in the hassle, break my
silence just this once Consider me as just
thinking out loud.
The whole matter revolves around the
sef-respect Of my people. How much sat-
isfaction can / get from a court order
for somebody to associate with me who
does not wish me near them?
The American Indian has never been
spoken of as minority and chiefly be-
cause there is no whine in the Indian.
Certainly he fought, and valiantly, for his
lands, and rightly so, but it is inconceivable
of an Indian to seek forcible association
with anyone. His well-known pride and
selfrespect would save him from that. I
take the Indian position.
cIomor for Rights
Now great clamor will arise in Ger.
tain quarters that deny the Negro chill
dren of the South their rights, and there
fore am one of those "handkerchief-head
niggers" who bow low before the white
man and sell out my own people, out of
cowardice However, an analytical glance
will show that is not the case.
If there are not adequate Negro schools
and there are some residual, some inherent
and Interchangeable qualities in white
schools, impossible to duplicate anywhere
else, then am the first to insist that Ne
gro children of Florida be allowed to share
this boon. But if there are adequate Negro
schools and prepared instructors and in
structions, then there is nothing different
except the presence Of white people.
For this reason, regard the ruling of
the Supreme Court as insulting, rather
than honoring my race. Since the days
Of the never-to- be-sufficient -deplored Re-
construction there has been current the
belief that there is no greater delight to
Negroes than physical association with
whites, the doctrine of the white mare.

TITS a great break for me, a

Mel, an immortal at the Univ

in Toledo and has an off-season

better off with less pressure on me

While the Browns, with Jim
Brown on hand, need another full
back like they need yardage when
Jim's running, Mel figures he can
make a place on the team.

Of the Browns, Blanton Collier,

tries and scored IA touChdowns
while performing for the Gaints for
six seasons. In his two-year stint
with the Vikings, Triplett added
to the yardage both in rushing and
pass receiving.
AS a human battering ram, Mel
always seem to have some of his
best days against the Browns when
he was with the Giants. He was
one of the reasons the Giants
maintained an edge over the
Browns in the late sos.
"In play any position but I
would prefer fullback," Triplett
said.
Reminded again of the presence
of Brown in the Browns lineup,
Mel shot back:
so what, Jim can play halfback.
He's good anywhere"
He suggested that the Browns
might try the style of the Green
Bay Packers - with two big men
in the backfield. Naturally, Trip
lett was thinking of Brown and
himself.

The
BELL
By Jesse Bell

On Tuesday, April 9, 1868 the
Minnesota Twins began their third
and most fans hope, most re-
warding season Of baseball in the
Upper Midwest. The Twins started
the season highly tauted after
their strong second place finish Of
last season. Many baseball observ-
ers feel that last seasons sensa-
tonal finish was a "fluke". How
ever, Sam Mele, the personable
skipper Of the Twins, thinks: I'VE
have too much going for U.S."
We certainly hope the Twins
have something going for them,
but it will take stellar performan-
ces by every member Of the club.
The Twins are accustomed to win
ming (save their poor exhibition
SEASON. If they. can take up where
they left off in 1862 there will be
many happy baseball fans in the
area.
We wish the Minnesota Twins
web on their third and hopefully,
most promising season in the
American League.
It is not uncommon for Major
League baseball teams to have
brother acts. In fact there have
been many; st. Louis Cardinals
had Dizzy and Paul Dean, the
Milwaukee Braves have Hank and
Tom Aaron, the Pittsburgh Pirates
had Lloyd and Paul Waner, and
the San Francisco Giants have the
Alou brothers, Felipe and Matty.
The AIOu brothers have been
teammates on the San Francisco
Giant team the last few sum-
mers. This year brother Jesus
may join the Giants and make
it a threesome.
Jesus showed so much ability in
his native Dominican Republic that
the Giants signed him before he
was 16 years old.
He was signed as a pitcher at
the age of Is, but after part of a
season with Hastings, in the now
defunct Nebraska State League,
the Giants switched him to the
outfield. He has hit we'll over 300
in every league he has been in. In
1862, in the Texas League, he hit
.343.
AS long as the Say Hey Kid,
Willie Mays, is around Jesus will
not break into the Giants outfield.
The Alou brothers did have the
opportunity of playing together as
a trio, in the Dominicans Winter
League.
