BY some, the opal is regarded
as unlucky probably because of

Birthstones- October
Symbol Of Hope, 1t is Regarded
By Some As An Unlucky Gem

Hope is the message of Oc-
tOber's birthstone 1t is a lovely
colorful thing in spite of having
no color of its own. The opal'S
color comes when it catches the
light and breaks it into tiny
rainboWS somewhat as a prism
does.
Tiny fissures or cracks in the
stone have grooved sides which
diffract and decompose t e
light, making it look as if the
color is in the gem. The color
display is more beautiful the
thinner ard more uniform the
assures.
The ancients believed the opal
would render its Wearer invisl-
bic and it was sometimes called
the thief stone, as when wear
ing it they thought thieves could
carry away their loot unseen.
There are three varieties CT
opals, Oriental, fire. and com
mon. There are several types Of
opal under the Oriental when
the color appears as Minute,
regular squares, it is called
harlequin and this Is the rarast
and most beautiful VARIETY.
When translucent and with regd-
lar colors in distinct checks Of
red, yellow, blue, and green. the
opal is considered magnificent.
Less valuable opals show only
a few colors and are Opaque Or
ganic products often charge To-
silica, and combined with water,
form kind Of aern called
wood opal" Another kind If
opal called "geyseutaN has re-
suited from the deposit OF silica
BY boiling water at the foot Of
geysers in Yellowstone Park.
Some others look like aga e with
their color in bands, another is
jaspar opal. which receives its
colors from foreign substances.
The best Oriental opals come
from Queensland and New South
Wales. Hungary has the oldest
mines which were the chief
source Of world supply until fine
specimens We're found in Mex
CO.
The fire opal" is plentiful in
Mexico and is one of the most
beautiful forms of this gem but
if it becomes moist the colors
fade.

The Rev. DIR. Joseph II. Jack

The Rev. DIR. Joseph III. Jack
son, President of the 5-million
member National Baptist Con-
vention, USA Inc, was the
guest speaker.
In his speech, responding to a
request to speak on the subject,
Pew. Jackson outlined what he
pointed out as the four BIS of
Civil rights, listing them as,
ballot, book, business, and
Bible.
During his discussion he point
ed out that there is nothing
now available to Negroes which
is as important as the ballot,
adding that it is the key to un-
lock every door. The book, which
he said meant education, he de-
scribed as being all but equal
to the ballot. With reference to
business he said that it was one
thing to be demanding jobs
from others, but the greatest
thing is for Negroes to start
owning and operating their own
businesses, so that Negroes will
be able to provide some jobs
for other Negroes and not be
totally dependent on other peo-
pie for jobs.
On the subject of the Bible
he talked about Negroes and
religion, and the growing evil
dence that they are foresaking
religion in the pursuit of civil
rights. In direct reference to
his experience at the recent
NAACP National Convention

when he attempted to speak
and the fact that since thai
time his church in Chicago has
been picketed every Sunday, he
said that evil forces, with the
aim of destroying the Negro
church, and robbing the Negro
of his religious faith has NOV.
ed into the Civil Rights strug

the responsible church members
to put back the sanity and re
move these evil forces from tn,
civil rights struggle.
Significantly he said that VI
to now the civil rights leader,
and organizations have been
looking to the preachers and the
churches for the money an
nouncing that the National Bap

creation of its own Committee

ours. The Government has fall
len behind in its program for
building secondary schools,
with the result that secondary
school education is only avail
able for those children who
have gained first class passes
from their primary schools.
About two thirds of the children
who have reached the senior
class in their primary schools
fail to make the grade for sec
ondary schooling.
While the Government can
be criticized for falling SO far
behind in its school building
program, allowances must be
made for the fact that tremen-
dous progress has been made
in 20 years in developing an
illiterate indigenous popula-
ton to the stage which has now
been reached, where every
child receives some schooling.
However, there is no reason for
complacency, particularly In
view of the fact that the educa-
ton received serves only to
stimulate the desire and there
fore the need-for further edu-
cation.
1t is in Salisbury, the capital
OF Southern Rhodesia, that the
effects of the shortage of Sec
ondary schools are most felt.
At the beginning of 1862, there
were large numbers of children
unable to get places In the
Government schools. The num-
bers were greater than. in pre-
vious years, due to the drive
for increased primary educa-
ton. These children demon
strated, sometimes with vio-
lence, their Illustration at not
being able to get further
schooling.
In Highfeld, an African
township on the outskirts of
Salisbury, the position was
very serious. Crowds of chill
dren roamed the streets, and
there were physical attacks on
children who had been fortu-
nate enough TO find places in
school.
Although the Government
was sympathetic, without the
schools or the staff it was I'M
able to do anything to ease the
situation and it was at this
stage that a group of High6eld
residents formed a committee
with the intention of starting a
connunity school. These peo-
pie had courage. They needed
it, for apart from the children,
they had nothing else with
which to start a school-no
