Pay Tribute TO
Negro Press

WASHINGTON, D. C.-In a
tribute to the Negro Press on
its 136th anniversary, Presi-
dent Kennedy has declared
that in spite of hardships
Negro n e wspa p ers have
never stopped working to-
ward the goal of equal op-
portunity."
The White House message
went to the National Newspa-
per Publishers Association on
the eve of the founding date
The Mississippi enterprise., 1963-03-30

|of Freedoms Journal, the
first American Negro news
paper, which was launched by
John B. RuSswurm on March
Is, 1927, and in salute to mp
A for its sponsorship of the
25th annual observance of Ma
tional N e gro Newspaper
Week, March 1923.
Said the President:
when John B. Russwurm
published the first Negro
newspaper on March 16, 1927,
human slavery was an en-
trenched institution in our ma
ton. Only a small band Of
Americans in that period had
a firm faith in the coming
of freedom. Their faith in the
future was inspired and nur-
tured by the Negro newspa-
per.
Looking back at this per-
iod one must observe that
despite ious economic
hardships the American Ne
gro Press has never stopped
working toward the goal of
equal opportunity.
There is no more reward
ing chapter in our history
than the one in which the
Negro Press inspired Negro
fellow citizens to seek better
education for themselves and
their children, to build better
schools, to foster their arts
and to carve out their own
economic opportunity.
To-day, over a century lat
er, we are mobilizing all our
resources to complete the
task of full emancipation and
to remove the last vestiges of
second class citizenship. In
this task the Negro newspa-
per, am confident, will con-
tinue to make a significant
and important contribution"

SEA ISLE CITY, N. J.-Inch
for inch, this quiet little resort
on Ludlam Beach suffered more
damage than any place on the
East Coast during the 1862
March storm.
The havoc took 285 homes
in a town of 1893 people. 1t
swept away a boardwalk and
all its shops, a fishing pier and
a theater. Like many another
place. its dwellers didn't have
"the right kind of insurance"
Now, the courage and deter
mination of its citizens have
brought it back, foot by foot,
to a restful haven which will
see its sum- er population
jump to more than 1900.

Sea Isle City never doomed

quietly and comfortably, prob

At one time during the rail-
road days, the town had 80
hotels and, as able newspaper
Editor Adolph Wilsey recalls
from his disappearing, "ev-

its guest book when the storm
struck. It has since been re-

Most of Sea Isle City's sum-

accommodations. There is very
little weekend traffic, save the
nearby inlanders who drop In
for a swim.

Don't stop your car on

To make the vacation even
more rewarding, get the family
together to work up a schedule

Now sweet Anne and the
Bloody Tower are teamed up
again to provide a memorable
evening for London visitors.
Last night I sailed down the
Thames for the press premiere
Of Son ct Lumiere at the Tower
Of London. Son ct Lumiere. you
might recall. is the technique
Of using sound and light alone
to create historical pageantry
at the actual sites where the
history took place.
Developed by a Frenchman
named Paul Robert Houdin a
few years ago. 1t has resulted
in some notable spectacles at
various French chateaux, the
Acropolis In Athens, the Pyra-
mids Just outside Cairo, and
the Palace Of the Crusaders on
the Greek island Of Rhodes.
The new British version
matches all the rest In magnif-
icence Of setting, and 1t will
probably be even more success
full with American audiences
because Of the comparative
familiarity OF the characters
and incidents portrayed. and
the absence Of language diff
ficulties.

about the most effective way
