Strengthening Constitutional
Government
Americans in general and lovers of a regulated society
by laws everywhere, would find rejoicing in the passing by
both houses of the Congress the first far-reaching Civil Rights
Bill since the Reconstruction period.
For many decades there have been approaches toward
the enactment of such protective laws as would more fully
guarantee the Civil Rights of minorities.
The flagrant violations of these rights became a running
sore, a reason for finger-pointing if and when this country attempted 
to intervene in the injustices visited upon citizens in
foreign lands.
While the bill might not be all that many of us hoped for,
it is a far-sweeping measure in the area of better voting privilege. 
The ballot is the bulwark of liberty and much of the injustices 
we have seen in the Deep South derived from the impulse 
that the visitation of reprisal in the form of the ballot
was utterly impossible.
So, strokes toward the full and free exercise of voting
rights will be of great effect and time will tell how far these
have advanced in the overall field of justice and fair play.
The key part of the six-part bill provides new voting guarantees 
for Negroes. Federal judges could appoint referees to
determine the qualification of voters who had been denied the
right to vote. The bill also would crack down on anyone engaging 
in hate bombing or trying to obstruct court orders of
school integration.
So jubilant over the passage of this long-pending bill was
Attorney General Rogers that he vowed, before the President
signed it, his intention to vigorously enforce the measure. But
the Attorney General served a vital admonition. That signal
warning would include a message to the Negro people themselves-they 
must first make the effort to get registered. And,
as the saying goes, that is where we come in. No people are
worthy of the consideration who will not avail themselves of
every available means to get registered. There should be a
more vigorous attempt now than ever on the part of our people
to get the ballot.
When government officials go at length and the President
of the United States stands behind these demands, there should
be no slackers among us.
This move would involve a more vigorous attempt on our
part to bring down the hand of the government in protection
of those millions, of people in the southland who are not allowed 
to vote.
The giving of individual members of the Civil Rights Commission 
authority to hold individual hearings is an important
stretch in the hastening of justice and the bringing of it nearer
our doors.
This new law constitutes a victory for the American principle; 
it is one of those vital strokes which will strengthen the
protections under the law.

There Must Be Respect For Law
The Tuesday dynamiting of the home of Attorney Z. A.
Looby, in Nashville, Tennessee, and the breaking of windows
in nearby Meharry Medical College would constitute an outrage
of which no civilized state or city would be proud. It would
represent the wholesale outburst of a criminal sanction instituted 
in a feeble derangement of minds fed up on current drivel
of intolerance and bigotry born of frustration and unrest now
showing itself in some cities.
Regardless of how we feel individually there must be respect 
for the law and respect for the mandates of courts. After
all, we are a nation governed by law. If laws are unjust, let
us seek to change them through the courts.
The right for peaceful assemblage, the right for a free circulation 
in a free society, would hardly include the right of
one to violate other people's rights neither would it license
violence when it became a sequel to non-violence.
It is an ill wind that blows nobody good; the whole thing
therefore might be summarized in a challenge to the leadership
of both groups and a call for a more vigorous and responsible
leadership.
Meharry Medical College, for instance, has a long and brilliant 
record of service in this country. It was the first effort in
the Deep South after the Civil War for the training of doctors,
nurses, dentists and general medical administrators for Negro
youth. It is the brain of the illustrious Meharry brothers who
founded the school and endowed it so well. The late and lamented 
Dr. George W. Hubbard probably gave the institution
one of its most notable administrations and it was under him
that Negro doctors found so much inspiration and financial aid
in procuring the training for the nursing of their people.
In fact Negro doctors not only have been valuable assets
for their own people but general practitioners for all the people
in the community where they served.
On the other hand Meharry's contribution is felt today where
there is another shortage of doctors. In the absence of state
aid in the old days and the refusal even today of Deep South
states to allow Negro students to take the medical courses in
the states where they live and pay taxes, Negro students had
to foot their own bills.
Hardly such a treatment would commend itself to the record 
and long service of Meharry Medical College.
The Attorney in question only had been active in the prosecution 
of cases ethically coming before him. He had gone no
further than within the limits of the framework of the law.
These unfortunate incidents would expose dangerous open
crevices in our framework of good relations and a bottleneck
in the channel of our mediums of communication.
This unrest and disturbance are hampering our good offices
and influence all around the world. They are signal warnings
that our good senses should lead us to seriously ponder.
Violence and bombings are a challenge to law and order
and the proper officials and the people should cooperate and
join in meeting this challenge.

Brief Comment
The difficulty with most laws, human and divine, is in the
interpretation.
The individual does not have to advertise his, or her, religion 
in big type.

Hannah Says Group
Should Not Protest
Stores In North
Addressing a meeting of the
NAACP Chapter at Michigan State
University, Wednesday, John H.
Hannah, president of the school
said he thinks fraternities should
have the right to choose their
members. He also opposed Negroes
demonstrating against Northern
chain stores.
Hannah is chairman of the national 
Civil Rights commission.
Asked about the race designation
required on M. S. U. entrance
questionnaires, Hannah said he did
not know about the situation.
After the session, Ernest Green
one of the first Negro graduates
of Little Rock Central high, urged
Negro students not to spen dmoney
in local dime stores. He said dollars
not spent in a variety store are
dollars for the NAACP.

Savannah May Use
"White Citizens"
Plan On Students
Savannah city officials considered
new legal means Thursday to combat 
a tense racial situation
brought on by a continuing Negro
avoidance of white stores and
spasmodic lunch counter protests.
The Chatham County White Citizens 
Council suggested in a letter 
to City Council that Negro
boycott pickets and lunch counter
demonstrators be arrested without
waiting for a request for such action 
by merchants.
Mayor W. Lee Mingledorff said
such unsolicited arrests may be
started to give the city some relief
from racial tension that has
gripped the city for over a month.
He posed the possibility that the
council might pass an ordinance
providing for the immediate arrests 
of Negro demonstrators and
pickets.
City attorneys already are investigating 
the possibility of drawing
up such a law, Mingledorff said.
Present laws provide that arrests 
of the Negroes be made only
on request of store owners after
the Negroes have been asked to
leave. Most lunch counter operators 
here have not been asking
Negro demonstrators to leave but
simply have been closing their
counters.
Mingledorff said the Negro pickets, 
while peaceful, ate operating
in "restraint of trade," giving the
city legal grounds to move against
them.
Citizens Council attorney Walter
Cowart said many store operators
felt that police should act in the
matter without being requested to
do so.
Savannah's racial troubles flared
into violence early this week when
a Negro demonstrator and a white
man traded punches at a lunch
counter and a gang of white and
Negro teenagers battled with knives
and pipes in Forsyth Park. Police
were still investigating the latter
incident which resulted in serious
injury to one white youth. Savannah 
State College officials were
considering whether to take action
against students, from the Negro
institution who have participated
in the sitdown demonstrations. Latest 
word was that no decision
had been reached.

CAPTAIN Colin Campbell inadvertently 
walked through a
knee-deep puddle and Ling Stewart, 
walking beside him, grinned.
"Keerful, Jedge! you'll get wet."
"I might," Colin said amiably.
"It looks like rain."
"Feels like it, too," Ling observed. 
Both men laughed. "How
long afore we tangle with them
Yankees, Jedge?" asked Ling.
"It's about thirty-five miles to
Tonston. Perhaps another two
Days."
Ling said hopefully, "If you
send the best walkers on ahead,
we might be there and have some
fightin' done afore mornin'."
"Nothing doing!" Colin declared 
"We stay together."
Ling said soberly, "An army
sure slows a man up." There was
a moment's thoughtful silence and
Ling said, "Jedge—"
"Yes?"
"Looks to me," Ling said, "like
we're fightin' for a mudhole."
Colin glanced sharply at his
companion. He Knew Ling's
moods, was sure that Ling wanted 
to confide in him, and for some
reason had changed his mind. But
whatever he wanted to say would
come out in time. The walking
men began enthusiastically to
sing a marching song by a "composer" 
among them.

Colin raised his voice to make
himself heard above the clamor.
"Smell out a good camp site for
tonight will you, Ling?"
"I'll keep my smeller workin'."
"We'll have to get something
to eat."
Ling said indifferently, "We
will."
"That's what I like about you!"
Colin scoffed. "You worry So'."
Ling, who still seemed absorbed
in his own thoughts, grinned.
Presently, almost as though he
had Known it would be there, he
swerved to a dead stump in an
oak grove, Kicked the stump
apart, caught up a nand full of
dry wood, and in less than a minute 
had a tire started.
Clem Faraday swung his mule
team into the grove clambered
painfully down from the seat,
and he and his son unharnessed
and picketed the mules. The
Hobbs Creek men and some of
the men from Wetherly reloaded
their rifles and scattered in different 
directions to hunt, while
Clem Faraday sat on a boulder
near the fire and unlaced his
boots. Sweat broke out on his

forehead as he pulled them off.
Colin looked on with concern.
"Bad, Clem?"
"I'll make out, Cap'n."
Clem winced when he peeled
off his socks and revealed feet
that were swollen and blue. Colin
knelt to examine them, out aside
from bathing the feet in not salt
water, he didn't know what to do.
Clem needed a doctor's attention,
and he would have it is they were
able to find a doctor. Meanwhile
he had to ride on the wagon because 
he could not walk, Colin
cut up one of the spare blankets
and as gently as possible bound
the strips around Clem's feet.
"Hadn't you better let someone 
else handle the team tomorrow?" 

"I can handle 'em, Captain."
Colin knew a sudden fury. If
Clem were home he would be all
right. Because a conflict of remote 
interests had resulted in
war, Clem had gone off with a
group of men who called themselves 
soldiers and whose mission
was to kill other men. Admiration 
presently stole Colin's anger.
It was painful for Clem to move,
and agony when he walked, but
he walked when necessary. His
brain, or his heart, or his spirit—
whatever mysterious force controlled 
his life and made him
human—was stronger than pain.
He, and the others, had courage.
As night fell, the fires leaped
high and the good smell of roasting 
meat was in the air. His back
against a tree. Colin ate his fill
and found himself strangely contented. 
The rain still fell, but
roaring fires kept the little group
of men dry and comfortable. Tomorrow, 
Colin thought, life might
again be dreary, but tonight it
was very good. He lost himself
in a dream of Ann.
In the middle of the next morning, 
his illusions were shockingly
and permanently dispelled.
The rain had subsided to a
monotonous drizzle. Every tree
and bush continued to drip water.
The road they followed was not
the one that led down the Connicon, 
but a rough trace that offered
a more direct route over the hills.
It was slimy with mud, and
twice during the morning they
had to stop and lay corduroy—
tree trunks side by side—so Clem
Faraday could drive his wagon
through.
Colin glanced uneasily over his
shoulder, as though there were
something here that should not
be. He sensed nervously that the
men were anxious too. There was
no singing and little talking.
Something to be dreaded was here
now or had been here. Every man
stopped long enough to reload.
Colin turned to Ling, "What do
you make of it?"
"Nothin' yet, Jedge, But I don't
like the feel of things."
"Been shooting' here' bouts,"
Johnny Mossmoss remarked.
"How do you know?"
"Look."
Colin's eyes followed Johnny's
pointing finger to a group of
smooth-barked aspens, two of
which had unmistakably been
nicked by bullets. The bullets
might have been fired by hunters
at game, but, if so, there had
certainly been two hunters, for
the nicks were twenty feet apart,
and the game bad been running.
The rain had hopelessly filled in
any tracks that might have offered 
a clue.
Colin stopped and pondered.
Imagination could play weird
tricks, but if some real danger
lurked on this lonely, muddy trace
it was far better to find out than
to lead his men into a possible
ambush. Colin addressed the
group.
"Ling, Watt, and Tracey, you
come with me. The rest of you
give us a two-hundred-yard start
and follow. Stay grouped and
alert."
"Listen!" Ling commanded.
The sound, the far-off, mournful 
bawling of a cow, was repeated. 
Colin shivered. He had expected 
to be afraid of blasting
cannon and rattling rifles, but
now he thought that he would
never again fear anything as he
feared the forlorn cry of this lone
cow. There was something threatening, 
ominous and dire about it.
"That cow ain't been milked,"
Watt Sackett said decisively
"Which means," Johnny Mossmoss 
remarked, "that there ain't
nobody about to milk her."
When Colin spoke again he
hoped he sounded very cool and
confident, as a commander should
sound.
"We'll follow my plan. Johnny,
you come with us, tool. The rest
of you take cover if there's shooting 
and we'll fall back."
They drew ahead of the rest,
the four Hobbs Creek men and
Colin, taut as stretched buckskin.
He was afraid, Knew it and
wished mightily that he had never
undertaken the vast responsibility
of leading men into battle. But
much as he wanted to turn back,
he knew that he must go ahead
now.

as we understand it, three more
coeds have heard the same tune.
Wonder what happened to Miss
Ada Palmoore?
Why does William Higgins have
so many girls? "I guess it's because
he's so handsome" and versatile;"
said one of his many female admirers 
at Hamilton ... Charles
Edward Ray has returned and Janice 
Clemmons is happy. So are a
lot of other girls ... A certain
young man at BTW is on the spot.
Claudette Green has been considered 
in his escorting her to BTW's
prom, but also Maxine Foster and
Pearlie Seymour are involved. His
situation is rather bad, put I believe 
Floyd Bass will relieve him
of Miss Foster and Samuel Lowe
won't let Miss Green go.
MANASSAS (R. E. D.) ... Unsuccessful 
in making his comeback
with Maggie Hankins, Robert Simpson 
thinks his best hope is Daisy
Cooley. His pal, Rodgers Lewis, is
becoming very inquisitive to Patricia 
Bowles, whom he will escort to
the Debutante Ball. Rodgers has
even gone far enough as to ask to
take Lois Davis of Hamilton.
HAMILTON (R. E. D.) ... Claiborne 
Burris should give certain
coeds a chance before they take
one ... Calvin Davis has so many.
Evelyn Spencer think's it's about
time she cut out of the picture.
B. T. W. (R. E. D.) ... Sophomore 
week on the campus consisted 
of a talent show, sock hop, and
a very good assembly program. The
guest speaker for the assembly pro
gram 
was Rev. J. A. McDaniel, executive 
secretary of the Memphis
Urban League.
The "Buzz's" eye sees all, knows
all and will tell all, will hide nothing. 
Stay calm, cool and watch
what you do, because the eyes of
the "Buzz" are watching you. So
until next time, esca lugge: Your
roving reporter, Robert Edward
(Red) Davis and Sir Isaac Young.

WISHING WELL

HERE is a pleasant little game that will give you a message every
day. It is a numerical puzzle designed to spell out your fortune.
Count the letters in your first name. If the number of letters is 6 or
more, subtract 4. If the number is less than 6, add 3. The result is
your key number. Start at the upper left-hand corner of the rectangle 
and cheek every one of your key numbers, left to right. Then
read the message the letters under the checked figures give you.

HIGH SCHOOL DATELINE
As the days draw near
And come to a close
You find yourself taking
A last high school pose.
When you graduate
You can only remember
The memories of the past days in
September
You are now on the threshold of
life
And you cannot play like a new
bought fife.
Now a last word to you gals and
guys
Take this from a senior who is
wise
Think of victory, not of being beat
And whatever you do —
Don't end up on Beale Street.
WASHINGTON HIGH—William
Higgins and Sandra "Bronze
Queen" Pegues.
HAMILTON—William Terrell and

Maxine Hollingsworth.
DOUGLASS — Jack and Steve
Ballard and Arnetta Rainey.
MELROSE — Kenneth Cox and
Carolyn Love.
MANASSAS—Napoleon Williams
and Maggie Hankins.
BERTRAND—Jennie Harris and
Wasby Stegall.
LETTER — Flora Green and
Bishop Trotter.
Incidentally, this is the last day
of that six days of grace for some
seniors.
CARVER — This past Wednesday, 
Booker T. Washington was
graced with the presence of three
of Carver's more prominent students, 
Carver's "Tall Story" Robinson, 
Lorene "I Know I'm Popular"
Davis and Brenda "J. W. B. Hit
Me" Harrell. A young man who was
trying to be friendly asked them
their names and what school they
attended. These young ladies had
the audacity to tell him they were
from Arkansas State College, Tennessee 
A. & I. University and New
York University, respectively. I
wonder why these young ladies gave
out such erroneous information. By
the way, these young ladies are engaged 
in a friendly contest of seeing 
who can talk about the other
the most. The contest started Sunday. 

B. T. W. (WZH) ... I wonder
who Jimmy Anderson will take to
the prom? Freshmen and sophomores 
can't go ... Ruby "Baby"
Washington has been casting eyes
toward "SCP". I wonder does Edward 
Friends of, Manassas know
about this? Two young ladies are
having a friendly dispute over a
certain bandmember.
MANASSAS (WZH) ... Congratulations 
to Maggie "The Cat" Hankins 
for being selected alternate to
the "Bronze Queen." It's a long
time since Porter School, isn't it
Maggie?
CLOSING LINE: Congratulations
go to James Kilgore being selected 
"Mr. Sophomore." I guess
the young ladies at Melrose are very
proud or this honor that has been
bestowed upon this perennial sophomore.

that the bill was "moderate," especially 
when compared with original
House version. Actually, he said, it
was "a vicious attack upon the fundamental 
structure of our country."
Rep. Roy W. Wier, D-Minn.,
spoke for those northerners who
regarded the final product as disappoints 
weak. He told the House,
"I'd hate to be a' candidate for

this as part of my platform."

Governor Buford
Ellington (left) receives an explanation of the 1960 theme of the
American Cancer Society educational and fund raising April Crusade 
from W. T. (Tommy) Vaughn of Paris, Tennessee Division
Crusade Chairman. The Crusade theme is "Guard Your Family

officially proclaimed April as "Cancer Control Month" in Tennessee. 





Even though Spring fever has hit
most of us, there are still the faithful 
few who are still studying. In
fact, there were 20 who were up,
bright and early Saturday morning, 
to take a test at Hamilton.
This of course, is for the students
interested in math and chemistry
who, if they-pass, will attend the
summer school program this summer 
at Hamilton. We're proud of
students and we happily say, "Hats
Off."
Now that the tests given us from
the Board of Education are over, we
now concentrate on the parades to
come. The Clean-up, Fix-Up, and
Paint-Up parade has past, of course,
but Lester will march during the
painting demonstration on Rembert

on the 29th of April in the afternoon. 
Come one and all to see the
pretty majorettes; plus the wonderful 
music of the band.
All parents of pre-school children 
south of Hale, are asked, to
bring them to Carpenter Elememtary 
on May 20, for pre-registration. 
If your child will be six years
old before January, 1961, he is eligible 
to enter school in September
and must pre-register next month.

No incidents were reported. Non
whites came along docilely as police 
Stepped up their campaign
against "undesirables."
In Port Elizabeth, two courtrooms 
were opened for the trial of
186 Negroes accused of violating the
pass laws that require every black
African to carry an official pass
document.
In Durban, another 65 Africans
were ordered to stand trial for
the shooting of nine policemen during 
a riot in the Cato Manor Negro 
Twp. last Jan. 24. The pre-trial
investigation lasted seven weeks.

Little Rock Has

He advised all-out registration and
voting to curb prejudice and hate
tactics easily used by politicians to
keep themselves in office.
"Prejudice will not stop at the
Negro," the A. U. professor declared. 
"It can be switched to
Catholics, Jews and others." Aggressive 
seeking of support from
these minorities will help tremendously, 
it was pointed out.
