ON THE REEL
By Rev. Taschereau Arnold
Religious Editor
Published Weekly In Interest of Religious Progress

It was a real pleasure to meet
our old good friend. Brother Billie, 
the other day. He told us that
he had come across some highly
interesting information he was
passing on to our many readers
That man Brother Billie is a real
man and the people like what he
says for it is the truth. No one objects 
but people who are hit and
can't take it. There is an old saying
like this: "A hit dog will holler."
We trust that you will enjoy what
Brother Billie passed on to us and
are gladly realizing the same, it
follows:
Since the new type preacher carries 
his wife to the convention, with
him all the time, it is very pitiable
to see so many ladies of the days
gone by standing around looking
for excitement. In the days gone
by a lady could come to the convention 
and some gallant man
would pay her taxi fare and pick
up the cheek at dinner.
Hence such a lady would need
nothing but railroad fare and lodging. 
But today, these ladies must
foot ALL THEIR bills as the
preachers' wives are on hand to use
up what slack money the elder may
have. It is rather sad therefore to
see these well meaning but misguided 
ladles standing around lost
during the recess period as the
preachers stream by with the Madame 
on their arms.
Everything comes to an end and
if there be any person with an idea
of having an exciting time at a
convention without the expense, I
would advise a re-evaluation of the
situation. All of which means that
the tone and atmosphere of conventions 
are improving.
The learned Prince of Granada,
heir to the Spanish throne, imprisoned 
by order of the crown for
fear he should aspire to the throne,
was kept in solitary confinement in
the old pron at the Place of
Skulls Maid. After 33 years in
this living tomb, death came to his
release, and the following remarkable 
researches, taken from the
Bible, and marked with an old nail
on the rough walls of his cell, told
how the brain sought employment
through the weary years:
In the Bible the word "Lord" is
found 1853 times.
The word "Jehovah." 3855 times.
The word "reverend" but once,
and that in the 9th verse of Psalm
111.
The 8th verse of the 97th Psalm
is the middle verse of the Bible.
The 9th verse of the 8th chapter
of Esther is the longest.
The 35th verse of the 11th chapter 
of John is the shortest.
In the 107th Psalm four verses
are alike—the 8th, 15th, 21st and
31st.
Ezra 7:21 contains all letters of
the alphabet except j.
Each verse of the 136th Psalm
ends alike.
No names or words with more
than six syllables are found in the
Bible.
The 37th chapter of Isaiah and
the 19th chapter of II Kings are
alike.
The ward "girl" occurs but once
in the Bible, and that in the 3rd
verse of the 3rd chapter of Joel.
There are found in both books
of the Bible 3,538,483 letters, 773,693 
words, 31,373 verses, 1,189 chapters 
and 66 books.
The 26th chapter of the Acts of
the Apostles is the finest chapter
to read.
The most beautiful chapter is the
23rd Psalm.
The four most inspiring promises
are John 14:2 and 6:37, Matthew
11:20, Psalm 37:4.
All who flatter themselves with
vain boasting should read the 6th
chapter of Matthew.—The Kings
Highway.
I often wonder as to why we have
so many book published on "ways
by which to reap success," when
we have such a vast source of material 
found right in the greatest
Book of all time, the Bible.
In it one can find advice for
sound and well balanced living. If
you are ill, you can find readings,
as to guide you in your approach
to God for restoration of your
health. If you are discouraged, the
Bible is teaming with gems of encouragement. 
If bereaved, much
comfort can be received from various

star, Mr. (Tiger-Man) Thomas. 

Members of the club were casually
dressed in their "Blue Jeans". Blue
and white leather weskits, and
white leather jackets. They were
all beaming with radiant smiles for
their guests.
Among those observed were Mrs.

WITH THE VA
During the past decade, the
World War II GI Bill has helped
build up the nation's reservoirs of
trained manpower in fields ranging
from atomic physics to airplane
mechanics and from medicine to
the ministry.
This fact was disclosed in a special 
research study, released today
by the Veterans Administration, of
the records of the 7,800,000 veterans
who had received GI Bill training
since the program began in June.
1944. This total represents more
than half of all veterans who served 
in World War Two.
According to the study, 2,600,000
veterans trained as skilled craftsmen. 

Another 1,500,000 studied for the
professions: 700,000 took GI training 
in the fields of management
and business administration.
More than 750,000 enrolled in institutional 
on-farm training, a
combination of classroom study and
practical experience on the farm.
A total of 434,000 trained for
clerical and sales jobs—secretaries,
stenographers, business machine
operators, insurance salesmen,
bank clerks, and the like.
GI high school and grade school
students numbered nearly 300,000,
many of whom went on to more specialized 
training.
The fest of the veterans trained
for nearly all the remaining major
occupations at which man earns his
living. For the most part, the VA
study reported, these were occupations 
also demanding a high degree
of skill and ability.
Of the 2,600,000 craftsmen who
learned their skills under the GI
Bill, the largest proportion—711,000,
or 38 percent—studied mechanics:
automobile mechanics was most
popular, and aircraft mechanics ran
second.
Television and radio trainees
numbered 438,000; construction
workers, carpenters, bricklayers,
plumbers and others—totaled 383,
000: metal workers, 288,000; electricians, 
138,000 and refrigeration and
air conditioning mechanics 116,000.
In the professions, the emphasis
has been on occupations requiring
a scientific background.
Engineering was the number one
choice, attracting 450,000 veterans;
another 180,000 studied medicine
and related courses; 113,000 veterans 
chose other branches of the
physical and natural sciences—physies, 
biology, chemistry, geology,
metallurgy and others.
A total of 238,000 school teachers
were trained under the GI Bill, as
well as 243,000 accountants, 107,000
lawyers, 93,000 social scientists. 17,
000 writers and journalists, 4,000
social workers and 1,500 librarians
Students of tile ministry—representing 
all major faiths—numbered 
36,000.
Other types of GI Bill training
taken by veterans include the following: 

Art and design, nearly 210,000
veterans. This field includes drafting, 
commercial art, photography
various types of design, decorating
and window dressing.
Also barbers and beauty culturists, 
83,000: policemen and firemen, 
43,000; bakers and meat cutters, 
45,000; dressmakers and tailors, 
76,000; shoemakers, 32,000; upholsterers, 
55,000.
Music students numbered 62,000;
embalmers and undertakers, 9,000;
surveyors, 4,000; printers, engravers
and typesetters, 61,000.
The VA survey further disclosed
that of the 7,800,000 World War Twoveterans 
who had taken GI training, 
more than 2,000,000 had gone
to college; 3,500,000 attended schools
below the college level; 1,500,000
had trained on-the job, and more
than 750,000 had trained on-thefarm. 

Although training under the
World War Two GI Bill will not
expire until 1956, new enrollments

for practically all veterans came
to an end in July, 1951, the deadline 
for starting training for the
majority of veterans. For the most
part, the more than 300,000 veterans
still in training are those who
started their courses before the
1951 deadline.
The peak of the GI training program 
came in December, 1947, when
some 2,500,000 veterans were enrolled 
in the classroom, at the workbench 
and on the farm. Current
enrollments are only one eights of
this figure, and are continuing to
drop.

 New York where she'd just signed
 rights of net tale husband novel
Dale Fraser joins P Parrish whom
She'd met there in a drink. The upfamiliar 
potent concoction sends ne
fast asleep and she is greatly embarrassed 
when she awakens in the apartment 
shared by Phil Parrish and his
brother Don.
DALE'S bright dress as a gesture 
of defiance was entirely, inesrrectual 
for Agatha outdid her in
beige crepe emblazoned with great
gaudy poppies. On any other woman 
her age it would nave looked
slightly vulgar Somehow, on
Agatha it only looked gay.
How long are you staying in
New York. Mrs. Fraser? Agatha
asked her.
Not long. A few weeks, perhaps. 

"Friends here, have you?"
Dale hesitated. "Yes."
"She's here on business, Aggie,"
Phil cut in He turned to Dale.
Don't mind this aunt of mine.
She has to know everything about
everybody. Compensation for living 
alone. I expect. She won't
gossip, though. Safe as a church,
Aggie is."
"Thanks." said his aunt dryly.
To Dale, she said with a blandness 
that masked Keen appraisal,
"What business, Mrs. Fraser?"
"My husband wrote a book. I'm
arranging for its publication with
Carruthers and Scott."
"Steve Carruthers, him? The
book must be extraordinarily
good."
"Yes," said Dale. "It is."
"Where, is your husband?"
Date looked helplessly at Phil,
her mouth quivering. What an
awful old woman, she thought.
But Phil was unresponsive to her
silent appeal, and she turned back
to Agatha. "My husband," she
said, "is dead."
Phil said lazily. "Easy, Aggie."
"Bring in the dessert, will you.
Phil? It's Sarah's Sunday off
Eclairs, in the cetrigerator Can
you manage the coffee?" And with
Phil out in the Kitchen, Agatha
said to Dale, "Forgive me, my
dear. I am a curious and blunt
and often a rude old woman. If
I had any sense, I would assume
at least the appearance of good
manners. Thought as the Creoles
say, Good manners often cover
the devil's tail. I am never, I
hope, intentionally unkind." She
added, with what Dale Knew with
certainty was not irrelevance, I
am uncommonly fond of Phil—of
Doth my nephews.
"I understand," Dale said stiffly
Agatha looked at her narrowly.
and suddenly smiled. "Yes, you do
Don't worry, about It. Oh, bring
the eclairs to me, Phil. Will you
pour the coffee?"
Phil glanced from Agatha's face

to Dale's, and seeing the bland innocence 
in the one pair of eyes,
and beneath the lowered lashes of
the other a faint tinge of color,
he started to speak. Then, with a
W shrug, he decided to leave it
alone.
"Sugar?" he asked Dale.
"Ceream"
"Please," she murmured, without 
looking at him.
"Black for you," he said, passing
a cup to Agatha. "Black as that
unregenerate old heart of yours
under all those fine red poppies!
The remainder of the evening
passed pleasantly enough, and not
until it was time to leave did. Dale
realize, with a touch of ruefulness,
how skilfully Agatha Galbraith had
guided the conversation so that,
without being aware of it, Dale
had talked a great deal of herself.
"Let s walk a bit of the way,
shall we?" Phil suggested, holding 
her coat. "By the way, that's
an elegant dress."
"Red is not Dale's color," said
Agatha firmly. "Any more than
these poppies are mine. Odd, what
a dash of red does for she's courage, 
isn't it?" And the smile she
gave Dale was sudden and disarming 
as a child's. "Bring her
to me again, Phil Soon."
There was softness and warmth
in the air that touched their faces
as Dale and Phil stepped outside.
He took her arm so casually
that she was almost unaware of it.
"How do you like my aunt?" he
asked.
"I shouldn't like to have to outsmart 
her! She makes me feel that
all my mental and emotional processes 
are lit up with neon."
He laughed. "She does, rather,
I learned long ago not to try to
keep any secrets from her."
"How does she get away with
it? it everyone pried as ruthlessly
into other people's affairs—" Dale
made a wry face. "But I do like
her." she confessed in mild surprise. 
"She reminds me of my
grandfather."
He gave her a sideways look.
"Are you really going back to that
farm?"
"Of course. And It's not a farm,
now. It's a thriving tourist development. 
Yes," she said, "I shall
go back."
To what?"
She looked at him in astonishment. 
"My family and my job, of
course."
"You made it all sound very
bright and amusing to Aggie back
there at dinner—but what sort of
a job is a rural mail route and
bookkeeping in a country store,
for a girl like you?"
"You don't know what kind of
girl I am."
"I do Know that if you go back,
you can't have everything the
same again," tie said gravely. He
stopped at the gate of a school
yard, 
drawing her arm more closely 
against his side. "Every time
I walk by this school, I want to
go in and try those swings. Let's,
shall we?"
"Lets not," she said shortly.
"Why!"
"It's kid stuff, isn't It? And, as
you said, nothing is ever the same
again."
"Touche, eh?" But he walked
on.
Presently Dale said, "I'm tired.
Phil, Do you mind if we ride the
rest of the way?"
He hailed, the first empty cab,
and they sat apart, a companion
able closeness that had almost been
there gone. Only, leaving her, Phil
said. "Aggie was wrong. Red is
your color—just because it is a
badge of courage. Good night,
Dale."
"Good night," she said.
In the morning, Dale took the
signed contracts to Steven Carruthers. 

"Everything satisfactory?" be
asked her.
"If not, I'd never know it with
all those confusing legal terms,"
she said. "But Agatha Galbraith
seems to have implicit faith in
you; and I'm inclined to take her
word for you integrity."
"Met her, have you? Great old
girl, Aggie."
Smiling, Dale said, "Yes, she is."
She folded the advance royalty
check and put it carelessly in her
handbag. With a promise to send
a photograph and a brief biography 
for the Jacket cover, she
turned to go.
"Are you leaving the city at
once, Mrs. Fraser" Carruthers
asked.
"Not just yet."
"I hope you are enjoying It?"
She shrugged an indifferent
shoulder. "Oh, yes."
"If I have to get in touch with
you, I can reach you at the hotel?"
"Yes—or at Swanscombe, if I've
gone home."
She could go borne, now....
That night she made a long-distance 
call and talked with Grandy,
half hoping he would urge her to
come home.
But Grandy said, "It is still
Apr here, honey."
She saw his smile touched with
wisdom and tolerance, felt his
hand pushing her off. Odd Everyor 
else; in their farewells, had
said. "Don't forget to come back.
Dale!" Everyone but Grandy, who
had said, "You go!"
Ashamed of her dismay, and
feeling, curiously bereft, Dale
thought, I don't belong anywhere.
With a sort of frantic urgency,
she spent two days on sight-seeing
buses, seeing all the things everyone 
came to New York to see. Afterwards, 
worn but and at the beginning 
of the futile circle again,
she asked herself, What now?

Labor Urged To Support Fight
Against Segregated Schools
Doxey A. Wilkerson 
declared this week that "It is
the urgent responsibility of the
whole labor-progressive movement
now to rise so powerful a demand
for outlawing public school segregation 
'forthwith' that the Supreme
Court will not dare to come forward
with a negative or indecisive opinion." 

Wilkerson's statement refers to

the five school segregation cases
re-argued before the Supreme
Court last December, and is contained 
in a pamphlet entitled. "The
Historic Fight to Abolish School
Segregation in the United States,"
issued during Negro History Week
by the Jefferson School of Social
Science, 575 Sixth Avenue.
The new pamphlet traces the
background of the Negro's struggle
for equality of educational opportunity, 
with emphasis on the leading 
role of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People. A section on "Politics and
the Court—1896 and 1954" explains 
why the Supreme Court can
not so readily uphold segregation
today as it did in the famous Plessy 
v. Ferguson, decision 60 years
ago.
Asserting that the school cases
now before the Court open up the
possibility of "a major breckthrough 
in the entire structure of
anti-Negro segregation," Wilker
son 
warns against "the highly dangerous 
assumption that 'all is over
but the shouting'." He declares:
"This is the time for every democratic 
people's organization in
the country to speak out in support 
of the historic struggle being 
led by the NAACP. It is especially 
important for the later
movement and the progressive
white masses now to come forward
in demanding the abolition of Jim

OUT, BACK IN 6 HOURS
Released
from prison after serving two years
for auto larceny, Algie King, 25,
was behind bars again-six hours
later, charged with attempted auto 
theft. Police found King, behind 
the wheel of someone else's
car but King explained he was
"just listening to the motor run."

SISTERS HAVE TRIPLE
CEREMONY
The three
pretty Black sisters— Betty, Florence. 
and Doris—were married in
a triple ceremony recently at St.
Mark's Church in Elizabeth, N. J.
They married Walter Flauer, Edward 
Blicharz and Richard Lynch,
respectively.

Economy, 2-Party System
Keys To Carolina Success
Why is North Carolina the most
progressive" Southern state in race
relations?
Traditional liberalism, economic
wealth, educational progress and a
two party political system were
among reasons cited yesterday by
Dr. Helen Edmonds, professor of
history at North Carolina College.
"Of all the Southern states. I
would venture to say that North
Carolina is the most progressive,
and that liberalism has accompanied 
this progress," Dr. Edmonds
told the Hungry Club Forum at
the Butler Street YMCA.
"This liberalism has manifested
itself in vast expenditures in public 
education, public health, mental 
institutions, prisons, colleges
universities and libraries."
She said the early settlers of the
state "took their civil liberties, seriously." 
They were "adventurous
frontiersmen."
"The foundation of many private
fortunes was laid in 1890," Dr.
Edmonds explained. "The Dukes,
the Reynolds, the Carrs and the
Andrews are all of this era. Negroes 
were in on the economic
ground floor of this decade: Merritts, 
Morris, Dang and Spaulding."
She said North Carolina is richer 
than neighboring states, pointing 
out that "total taxable property 
in 1940 was $4 billion." Textile
mills and the lumber industry are
among the state's principal assets.
"Roads are good and this permits 
population mobility, and mobility 
leads to moderation," Dr.
Edmonds declared. "Gov. Ken
Scott, 1948-52, stressed in his 'Go
Forward Program' better rural
roads, and they became an actuality." 

North Carolina newspapers "have
championed unpopular causes with
success," she said. Professors in
various fields at the University of
North Carolina have studied social
problems and have found "better
ways of doing things."
The state "had more regularly
voting Republicans than any
Southern state prior to 1952," Dr.
Edmonds said "It comes nearer
approaching a healthy two-party
system than any state in the
South.
"There are 28 counties out of 100
in the western part of the stat
which voted the Republican ticket
consistently, from 1876 to 1928.
These counties were inhabited early 
by Scotch Irish Unionists who
never sympathized with the Southern 
side of to Civil War. They
went into the Republican party enmasse 
after 1865."
She said Negroes were in the
minority in many of these counties. 
The area has been a "challenge 
to the Democratic Party."
Colored teachers enjoy equal pay
in the public schools and Negro
citizens have been free to vote in
many parts of the state for a long
time, she stated. Durham, Greensboro, 
Winston-Salem, Wilson and
Fayetteville have Negro councilmen. 

"Rural areas are yet difficult to
crack because election laws leave
much authority to registrars who
can make it difficult or easy for
rural Negroes," Dr. Edmonds ex-,
plained.

TOOK LIBERTIES SERIOUSLY
Why is North Carolina the most
progressive" Southern state in race
relations?
Traditional liberalism, economic
wealth, educational progress and a
two party political system were
among reasons cited yesterday by
Dr. Helen Edmonds, professor of
history at North Carolina College.
"Of all the Southern states. I
would venture to say that North
Carolina is the most progressive,
and that liberalism has accompanied 
this progress," Dr. Edmonds
told the Hungry Club Forum at
the Butler Street YMCA.
"This liberalism has manifested
itself in vast expenditures in public 
education, public health, mental 
institutions, prisons, colleges
universities and libraries."
She said the early settlers of the
state "took their civil liberties, seriously." 
They were "adventurous
frontiersmen."
"The foundation of many private
fortunes was laid in 1890," Dr.
Edmonds explained. "The Dukes,
the Reynolds, the Carrs and the
Andrews are all of this era. Negroes 
were in on the economic
ground floor of this decade: Merritts, 
Morris, Dang and Spaulding."
She said North Carolina is richer 
than neighboring states, pointing 
out that "total taxable property 
in 1940 was $4 billion." Textile
mills and the lumber industry are
among the state's principal assets.
"Roads are good and this permits 
population mobility, and mobility 
leads to moderation," Dr.
Edmonds declared. "Gov. Ken
Scott, 1948-52, stressed in his 'Go
Forward Program' better rural
roads, and they became an actuality." 

North Carolina newspapers "have
championed unpopular causes with
success," she said. Professors in
various fields at the University of
North Carolina have studied social
problems and have found "better
ways of doing things."
The state "had more regularly
voting Republicans than any
Southern state prior to 1952," Dr.
Edmonds said "It comes nearer
approaching a healthy two-party
system than any state in the
South.

Jelly Roll Bars
A simple cutting trick will give you another glamorous way to ser
those miniature dime jelly rolls from your grocer's ready-to-eat cake
department.
Chill jelly rolls and then slice each lengthwise into six thin slices.
Keep the two rounded outside slices for family snacking. Cut the other
four slices in half crosswise, making eight dainty jelly roll bars pretty
enough for any entertainment occasion. Good, too, for these baby jelly
rolls are made from a cook book recipe.
To serve, arrange on a plate around a small bowl of jolly or whipped
cream cheese.

Bias Fades

supported by public taxation.
He is a member of the executive
board of The National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People. The last of NAACP contentions 
with regard to what the
Constitution provides is that even
such matters as as restricting citizens 
in the use of golf links to certain 
days is discrimination.
It is recalled that Attorney Looby 
opposed the establishment of
the "all-Negro" golf course when
an ordinance providing for it was
introduced in City Council by
Councilman Robert Lillard, the other 
colored member of the council,
the city.
To lay the ground work for a
test case, it was necessary for colored 
golfers to go to one of the
courses and get the "exclusion
treatment." This had been done
many months ago by Dr. Herman
Long, of the Race Relations Department 
of a missionary, society
with headquarters at Fisk University, 
and the Rev. Paul Hayes, former 
pastor of Kayne Avenue Baptist 
Church.
Attorney Looby, member for the
Nashville City Council, concedes
that great progress has been made
as a result of Judge Davies de
sion, but holds that under the
S. Constitution, citizens cannot be
discriminated against because of
race or color in use of public places 
of recreation or anything else
