perstition of the ancient rites of

inmate-murder at Mississippi State
Penitentiary here, according to
Sheriff Woodley Carr Of Sunflow-
er county.

a debt had transpired between
Earl Brown and Roosevelt Jordan,
both inmates at Camp 2 of the
penal farm. Jordan said Brown had
warned him that he had "stewed
up a toad frog" and had sprinkled
Jordan with frog dust, the sheriff
said. Now he could breathe on Jor-
dan and make him disappear, Sher-
iff Carr reported Jordan said.
About am, on May %, Jordan
slipped from his bunk, borrowed"
an inmates crutch weighing about
10 pounds, eased over to Browns
bunk, and beat the sleeping man to
death with the crItch.
The sheriff said Jordan con-
cluded his confession by saying:
II had to get Earl before he got
mel"

mately five years Of a 1O-year
sentence for manslaughter from
Pike county; Jordan, "a, approSd-
mately two years of a 5-year sent

At Cannes Festival:
European Reporters
Quiz Gregory Peck
On US. Bios

Cannes, France (ANP) - The
film, ITO Kill A Mockingbird, ,"
created a controversy and placed
its Oscar winning star Gregory
Peck in the embarrassing position
of having to explain racial dis
elimination and segregation in
America when it was shown at the
Cannes Film Festival here last
week.
Peck, who starred in the film
as an Alabama attorney defend
ing a Negro Brock Peters, ac-
cused of raping a white woman,
was confronted with a barrage of
questions about racial intolerance
in the South by about 100 tnterna-
tional film reporters at a press
conference following the showing
Of the film.
The showing drew a mixture of
boos, catcalls and "bravos" and
handclapping.'
Coming on the heels of the Birm-
ingham protests against segrega-
ton, the showing provoked some
incisive interrogauons about the
race question.
One French reporter asked
Peck:
Wasn't the picture an example
Of Southern racism? ?"
The word racist has become a
liable that doesn't mean much, :"

Money For Rights

Los Angeles (ANP) - Negro
and white movie stars are throw
ing their financial and moral sup
port behind the civil rights cam
paign led by DR.. Martin Luther
King, Jr. In increasing numbers,
as indicated by the participation
of several big name actors in fund
raising rallies here recently.
Wrigley Field was studied with
stars Of both screen and stage at
tending a mamoth rally recently
for DIR, King and his Christian
Leadership Conference, that raised
$4,000, and was attended by 5O,-

was contributed by Hollywood
celebrities.
They included Dorothy Dan
bridge, Rita Morena, Paul New
man, jeanne Woodward, Mel Fer
rer and Tony Franciosa. Sammy
Davis, Jr., pledged $4,000 "a
weeks salary in Las Vegas). Many
of these stars have appeared in

Detroit Schools
To Have Supplement
On Negro History
BY DARCY DeNIILLE

Detroit (ANP) - At last the
American Negro has a definite
place in history - at least for De-
troit's seventh and eight graders.
A new supplement will be added
to the history books now being
used to fill in some pretty, big
gaps" in American history.
The supplement, a 57-page book
let is called The Struggle for
Freedom and Rights, and is sub
titled, The Negro in American
History. 1t was written by school
personnel to augment a controver-
sial book now being used in his
tory classes.
The booklet informs students for
the first time about lesser-known
Negroes-Gabriel Prosser and Dem
mark Vessey, who led early rebel
lions Of slaves; Frederick Douglass,
former slave who became the
best known of the many Negro
abolitionists.
The students can now read about
the achievements Of George Wash
ington Carver and Booker T.
Washington.
Other facts brought to light:
1T is interesting to know also
that many Negroes served as sold
iers in War of 1912. They per-
formed courageously, especially
during the Battle of New Orleans. !"
Many Negroes living in the
North were free and known as
freedmen But freedmen did not
enjoy all the rights and privileges
of the Northern white people.
There were many restrictions on
their real freedom"
by the end Of the Civil War,
more than 1876, 900 Negroes had en-
rolled in the Union Army. There
were many Negro officers.
Fourteen Negro soldiers were
decorated with the Congressional
Medal of Honor during the Civil
War, the booklet points out.
One chapter brings the Negro
up to date, with emphasis on 2
outstanding figures in art, itera-
ture and entertainment, the form
alton Of the NAACP and the Urban
League and the devastating effect
of the depression.
The booklet takes the student
right up to the Supreme Court
school desegregation decision, the
Montgomery Alabama bus boycott
and President Kennedy's order
banning segregation in buildings
financed by the FILA or the VA.
The booklet which will be re-
quired for all American history
students in Detroit, was prepared
in response to protests from Ne
gro leaders, including NAACP Of
ficials.

all four families are buying their
own homes. they have to know
just what their vacation is going
to cost them, approximately.
John watches the money and
when an emergency has to be
taken care of he taps their en-
ergency fund. The wives have
saved all Of their quarters all the
past year for this fund.
This may sound like it is a job
to have such a vacation but the
four couples will tell you it is a
wonderful way to enjoy yourselves
when you have to think of the
cost. They always have a four
some for bridge or golf or any
game they want to play.
Thursdays the husbands watch
all Of the children while their
wives take time out to attend the
weekly bridge party for women at
the club house. Saturday nights,
the husbands are free to play
cards, bowl or whatever the club
has to offer them.
If any problems arise they have
their committee to iron them out.
This is a well organized group and
several other couples have made
plans to take such a vacation in
the near future.
OF course everyone has to do
his or her part to make the trip
as pleasant as possible.
So, whether you go on a trip or
stay at home, enjoy yourself on
your vacation. Make it a happy
memory to last all year!-Anon.

Peck replied uncomfortably. He
admitted, however, that "the pic
ture is a serious treatment Of a
great problem in America"
The film, Peck continued, "is
handled from a Southern view
point. The film presents a middle
class moderate Southerner who is
concerned about a Negroes rights.
I think this is how the Southern
white moderate feels today.
Pm happy that the film pre-
sents this somewhat different side
where a white Southerner is put
in a position of defending a Ne
gro"
Another French reporter made
the matter personal when he asked
Peck: a. Do you like Negroes
as you did in the film?" Peck, who
was born in California, replied:

all OF them were kids" in High
School.
So far, they have decided on the
amount of money the trip will
cost them. That amount Is to be
paid by them to John H. because
he is one who has handled his
money so we'll that at his age, he
has his own home almost paid for
and his wife and children have
been taken care Of as well as his
salary can afford.
So, this qualified him to handle
all of the money. The four men
will put in an even amount Of
money. So much will go for food,
so much will pay for the cottages
they will rent, and all the way
down to the tips for necessary
people, will be taken care of by
John.
At the end of the first week, If
there is any surplus money, the
families will see a show. If there
is not enough for a show, they will
settle for a roadside treat of hot
dogs and a soft drink"
The families will take a boat
ride as one of their sight seeing
trips. Families are given extra
rates If they take the trip the
first part of the week, this group
has already made plans to take
their trip their second day at the
resort which will be on a Tuesday
Because of a tragedy to one of
their friends family last year they
have decided no child is to go in
swimming except close to the life
guard. There will be no show-offs
allowed. Those who do not know
how to swim will stay close to
shore at all times and one parent
will remain with them.
The children will be given a
small amount Of change each
afternoon to buy something they
want.
The wives will divide the work
evenly. One day two will cook
the breakfasts and the lunches
The other two will take care OF
the dishes. The husbands will treat
their families to dinner each night,
in the dining room of the resort.
St. Paul recorder., 1963-06-20

The husbands decided this was
to be a vacation for their wives,
too. Once a week all soiled clothes
will be picked up and the local
laundry will return them ready to
wear. This cost has been taken
care of by the men who each
saved dimes for many months to
pay for this lake luxury.
Each family will attend the
church of their own choice on
Sundays and will meet at a desig-
mated place to have their dinner
together.
If you are wondering how they
know the amount of money needed
for such a nice vacation that Is
still within their means, two Of the
four couples spent their vacation
here last year and kept a close
watch on the cost. So, they all
started last year saving money for
the trip. Saving in small amounts
caused no great sacrifice. Since

Home Agent
BY Mary f. Harpole

Just what is your role as a
homemaker in Civil Defense?
Many of you who live in rural
areas are asking this ques-
ton.
One of your major roles,
Mrs. Homemaker, is to see
that your family is informed
and as safe as possible IN
case of a nuclear attack or
other disaster. 5
Few families in rural areas
or small towns are likely to
be hit by bombs from a nu-
clear attack, but all could
be hit by radioactive fallout.
The best preparation for
any emergency in advance
planning. This helps prevent
fear and panic. Here are
some things you as home
makers can do to prepare
your family for a disaster:
l. Start home preparedness
now!
2. Have a family meeting
to think and plan, and to
make a calendar of what,
when and where jobs need
doing.
3. Be sure your plan fits
your local Civil Defense pat
tern. Your local Civil Defense
director can help you with
your plan.
4. Decide what shelter you
will have against fallout.
Know whether you will nave
shelter of your own, share
one with a neighbor or go to
a community shelter. Make
plans for any necessary work
on your own shelter to I'M
prove it.
5. Make a check list of ar
ticles to supply the shelter
ahead of time and another
list of things to carry along
in case of actual warning.
Potatoes and Galleries
Potatoes themselves don't
have so many calories; it's
how you fix them that deter
mines whether they are a
high or low calorie dish.
For example, a serving of
} cup of diced, plain boiled
potatoes has only As calories.
But this same half cut of po-
tatoes mashed with butter or
margarine and milk added
has 115 calories. French fri
ed, they have 1856 Galleries;
hash-broWned, 235; and fresh
fried 240 calorieS.
Oven Hints
Avoid opening the door
when you have something
cooking in the oven. 1t just
