Be Thankful Thursday, November 26, 1959 will be known and called "Thanksgiving Day" in America, and by proclamation. Mayors, Governors and even the President of the United Slates called upon their constituents to give proper recognition to "Thanksgiving Day." The immortal Abraham Lincoln issued the first proclamation of Thanksgiving to call upon the people to properly observe that day. The public officials were prompted to issue the proclamation in those days, because, a ship load of food-stuffs from across the sea had arrived in this country to feed the hungry people and from that day until today the practice for "thanking the Almighty God" for His interest in His people has been carried, on. Thanksgiving is an old accustomed feast; the early Puritans, after gathering their crops and having so many graves on the hillside, they planted, corn over them to keep the savages from knowing how fast their numbers were being depleted, and how few were left to guard the settlement, felt the urge of giving thanks—even in all their distresses. The institution of Thanksgiving occurred to them and from a wilderness of peril, starvation and cold, they could send up the chorus of Thanksgiving praise. How much more then, should we send up our thanks and lift unto our Maker in both words and deeds, such gratitude as would become a Christian nation, seeking the broadway of a lasting peace. We all realize, we are passing thru a very dangerous period in the history of America and the world. The forces of right and wrong are clamoring for supremacy, the war of nerves has been on the rampage for quite sometime and is today. The forces of righteousness are trying to prevent the advocates of the cold war from blooming into a hot one. Diplomats and statesmen are spending much time and money in the fight for control. How thankful, then should the nation be, for the great President of the United States, whose big heart pours out among The forgotten, the poor and the neglected the gospel and doctrine of Civil Justice, Civil Rights. How thankful should the children of men all over the world be for the anticipated journey to some eleven nations by the President in an effort to set up mutual arbitration and agreement in the open—on covenants openly arrived at. This is a Sabbath itself of joy and thanksgiving. We near the threshold of mutual understanding and we shall go out with joy, * * * * and be led forth in Peace. The Need Of A Political Awakening In Order To Insure Justice In This Situation The failure of the Supreme Court to review the case of seven Negro teachers in Moberly, Missouri, for alleged racial discrimination in their dismissal on account of integrated schools, does not mean the court agrees of disagrees with what this school board has done in this instance. Those representatives of the teachers in this case failed to show or prove that other than qualification entered into The situation. All things being equal, it cannot be said that the court was on the side of those whose desire would be to penalize Negro teachers in a reprisal for the struggle to integrate the schools. It can hardly seem logical that anyone would so soon attempt to pair the court up with the racial prejudice and the attendant discriminatory practices of those ever on the alert to "get even" with the court itself by outright firing of Negro teachers. Surely the court would have been willing to hear a case that in anywise attempted such an obvious display of reprisal in firing teachers regardless of their particular fitness. No well-thinking person, however, would put it past some of those who have resorted to vain attempts to circumvent the court, to enlist whatever measures available which would point to crippling or delaying of implementation of desegregation. The record would sustain the fact that all along we have adhered strictly to the principle of qualification; that qualification which would stand up in any comparison of fitness. However, any attempt to use such a dimension as a run-around, would be observed with strictest scrutiny and the law would apply in such an instance just as it would in overt attempts to evade, or circumvent the court's order. One thing in addition to our teachers seeing to it that their qualification equals or exceeds the yardstick of those who seek to displace them, there should be an aggressive move for that political power contained in no other process than the ballot. When those in charge of measuring standards and making selections across the board in accordance with qualification, must be either voted for directly, or indirectly through whom they represent, they will take notice of the impact of our ballot system of referendum and recall. Let ose who would see justice obtain, and that nothing other than real standards of qualification enter into the equation, get acquainted with the ballot and its massive power in the arbitration of justice on this important front. Rockefeller's Plan Governor Nelson Rockefeller, of New York, has laid down a six-point program designed to enable the United States to outstrip the Soviet Union in production. The plan would increase spending for defense in this country and increase spending for other national needs by some fifty per cent, but it would also bring about curtailed taxes, by about fifteen per cent reductions. The program, Rockefeller recently declared, could raise the average family income by seventy-five per cent by 1970 while cutting national, state and local tax rates fifteen per cent. Rockefeller's six-point plan seems to be a major bid in his Presidential campaign. The first thing which can be said about it is that it reflects Mr. Rockefeller's cognizance of the economic threat we now face. Secondly, it seems to have a wide appeal, for Americans in all groups. Therefore, it sounds like an able political instrument. Thanksgiving — 1959 We thank Thee, Lord, for the lonesome crust pressed in warmth of lips, for baton-air which tunes its chorale-fingers to rhythm of nostrils, for mended sinews which push the granite of life. Our eyes are scored by fire of turmoil, but our thoughts reach for the whiteness, of peace. We thank Thee, Lord. TOUCH SADDLE By MATT STUART © By Matt Stuart 1959 from the Dodd, Mead & Co. novel distributed by King Features syndicate. THE SUN was but a few minutes high when link Asbell rode up to Running M headquarters to check if Nels Madison had had a good night. In his shirt sleeves, Doc Jerome stood on the porch, stretching and yawning widely. "You," said Asbell, dismounting, "look like you'd had a hard night. How's Nels?" "Better," informed Doc briefly. Then, grumbling, he added, "I've had a hard night, all right—or shall I say more properly, a hard day and night, what With riding with you up into the Saddlebacks to have my look at Packy Lane. Then back to town. Then out here to take care of Nels. Then back to town again last night to fix up Charley Tunnison. Then back out here once more to make sure about Nels. Call it as rough a day and night as I can remember." Asbell's glance held a quickening interest. "What's this about Charley Tunnison? What happened to him?" "He tangled with Frank Dalmar in the Imperial and Dalmar smacked him in the face with a whiskey bottle. Broke his nose and split his cheek twelve stitches worth." Asbell was frankly surprised. "What did he and Dalmar tangle over?" Doc looked around warily, then lowered his voice. "Seems Tunnison made some sort of remark that had Sue Vincent's name in it, and Dalmar let him have it with the bottle." "Now." said As bell, with a quick harshness, "that's a mark in Delmar's favor. Too bad he didn't hit Tunnison again." "He was going to, so I understand. He had Tunnison on the floor and was all set to brain him proper when Ben Dillon hauled him off." Asbell set to building a smoke "Nels is really doing good, Doc? You're not just saying he is?" "You should know me better than that," retorted Doc bluntly "Now I'm asking you something Where are you heading, with a rifle slung to your saddle and a six-shooter to your waist? As I recall, you never used to pack a gun." "And as I recall," said Asbell drily, "it was a certain Doc Jerome who warned me to keep an eye on both sides of the trail, as well as throwing a look over my shoulder every now and then. Besides, when I didn't pack a gun, that was day before yesterday. Things have happened, since then." "True enough," Doc nodded. "But you still haven't said where you're heading." Asbell considered for a moment before answering Doc slowly. "That depends on what Sue Vincent has to say. I'll know better after I've had a talk with her. You might tell her I'm out here." Sue provided the answer to this need by now showing in the ranchhouse doorway, after which she came along the porch a little diffidently. Doc, ever tactful, went back into the house, again yawning and stretching. Sue dropped slowly down the porch steps and stood in front of Asbell. Her manner was subbued, hesitant, yet backed by a veiled suggestion of eagerness. "Link," she said. "It—it's so good to see you." He regarded her gravely, startled at her manner and words, neither being at all what he'd expected. "That sounds as if I'd been a long time away, Sue. I haven't." "Yes, you have;" she declared. "Last night you were so far—so awfully far away. Oh, that probably doesn't make sense to you, but it does to me. Link—I—well, I didn't mean what I said yesterday afternoon. About you—you leaving Big Five." She hurried on to emphasize this. "No, I didn't really mean that. I was just angry — unthinking. Link, you must never take me at my word, if I should ever say such a thing again!" Never had she known the rush of feeling toward Link As bell as at this moment. The feeling of deep gratitude that he was standing there before her. A tall, spare man, with the morning sun building a shading or clean, hard bronze across the angular planes of his lean face—a man who was solid and sure and dependable. Now also, where a wariness, a guarded remoteness had lain far back in his eyes, a renewed warmth began to build, and somehow he was not that distant figure he'd been yesterday afternoon, but instead the familiar, steadfast Link As bell of old. A sob tightened Sue's throat. "Oh, Link—sometimes I can be such a fool!" "Not so," he reassured gently. "Just a mite headstrong, that's all." Like Doc, Sue Vincent had marked the rifle under his saddle fender and the gun-weighted belt sagging at his hip. The guns." she said. "I—I don't like them, but I know you wouldn't carry them unless you felt you should. Link—you'll be very careful?" "Of course," he promised. Then he conceded a point. "About Frank Dalmar—I could have been a little wrong, there." She gave him a strange, quick look. "That doesn't matter at all, Link. Really." He dropped the butt of his ciga rette, ground it to nothingness against the earth with the toe of his boot. "I've sent Hughie Logan and a couple of the other boys up to the Rosebud Creek line-camp to start building another cabin. Whatever we're faced with, Sue—whatever we're heading into, we're, not backing up a single step. I hope you approve?" Here, Sue realized, was decision—the kind of decision she must expect from Link As bell. Here was flat declaration of battle with the Double Diamond, if battle it must be. This man would neither compromise or hesitate. Whatever had to be done, he would do. She met his glance squarely. "Anything you feel is necessary, Link, is the way it shall be. I'll abide by your judgment." His smile was quick and warm, and he stepped into his saddle and headed away along the town trail. Reaching Garrison, As bell's first stop was the Imperial. Here the door was propped open and Ben Dillon was swamping out. He nodded soberly. "Morning, Link. What's the word on Nels Madison?" "Good. That's straight from Doc Jerome. Ben, how about Frank Dalmar and Charley Tunnison. Just exactly what hapuened?" Dillon shrugged. "Simple enough. Tunnison said something Dalmar didn't like and got himself belted with a whiskey bottle." "Where's Frank now?" As bell asked. "Sleeping off in the back room." As bell considered, lips pursed "As I recollect, be always handied his liquor well." Dillon shook his bead. "Can't prove it by me. He was carrying a pretty fair edge already when he came in, and seemed to have a lot on his mind. "He try and tell you any of his troubles?" The, saloon owner shook his head again. "Not a peep. Be just fastened, on to the bottle and indicated he wanted to be left stone with it I obliged." "What about Tunnison?" Asbell asked. "Holed up in his room in the Prairie House, I reckon," Dillon said. "He ain't going to be frisking around smoking those big. cigars for some time." "That's all right with me," Asbell said. "When he does I'll have an earful of strong talk saved up for him. He's been a guest out at Big Five a good many times, but he never will be again!"

YOU ASKED IT By GRACE WILLIAMS DEAR GRACE: I was in Chicago last month and read an article in the newspaper about the Daily Council there, Is the Dairy Council a National organization. If not, what local dairy sponsors the Memphis Dairy Council? Also, what is the purpose of the Dairy Council? There is a National Dairy Council, and a Chicago Dairy Council, too. I don't know which organization you read about since both are in Chicago. Most of the larger cities have dairy councils similar to our Memphis Dairy Council. Like our local organization, they are not supported by one dairy, but all of the local dairies, milk distributors and in some cities the ice cream manufactors. The National Dairy Council may be termed the parent organization, It coordinates the program of the local councils and represents the dairy industry on the national level. The dairy council is an educational organization. Its purpose is to teach good nutrition thus promoting the health of the community. Each council has one or more trained nutritionists or home economists who work with the teachers and other groups to achieve this end. DEAR GRACE: I've always made hot coca for my little boy on cold days. I did this for two reasons, to get him to drink milk and to give him something hot after school. He now has an allergy and his doctor suspects chocolate. S, now that he can't drink cocoa and won't drink hot milk he doesn't get a hot drink Do you know of a hot drink that I can use instead of the cocoa? I have just taste-tested hot caramel milk drink that we are going to make in our home economics laboratory. I believe your son will like it. In fact, why not serve it to the whole family? I'll bet dad will like it 3-4 cup caramelled sugar syrup Few grains salt 3-4 teaspoons cinnamon 1 1-2 quarts hat milk Nutmeg Combine caramelized sugar syrup salt, cinnamon and not milk. Beat untill well mixed and frothy. Pour into cups Sprinkle with nutmeg. 3-4 cup boiling water 1 1-2 cups sugar Heat sugar in skillet over medium heat until it is a rich golden brown, stirring constantly. Slowly add water, while stirring, and simmer until dissolved, and about 3-4 cup of syrup remains. Use in recipe above. Hint to the wives .... Peanut butter is a nutritious snack time treat. Serve it to the girls with honey on Melba Toast and a hot drink. In cookies, on sandwiches it's the d flood for the after school snack. A glass of hot spiced carameled milk or cold milk is good with it. Snack time holiday-time, you'll find our "Dairy Cook Book" most helpful when planning meals. TO get a copy of the free booklet send a card to Grace Williams, in care of Memphis World, 546 Beale Street, Memphis, Tennessee. "You Asked It" is a service provided to readers Of the Memphis World through the cooperation of the Memphis Dairy Council. Mrs. Williams is a teacher of Home Economics at Manassas High School.

"Dance For Toys" Slated By Jaycees Here Tonight Elaborate plans are being made by members or the Negro Junior Chamber of Commerce for its "Dance For Toys" which is a project to raise money to supply toys clothing and food to children and needy families at Christmas time. The Chamber members nave sponsored projects for needy families down through the years. The dance is scheduled to be held at the Flamingo Room, 140 1-2 Hernando St. tonight (Friday), Nov. 27. It is scheduled to start at 10 p. m. Rufus Jones, Chairman of the Christmas project, is urging other civic and charity clubs as well as other community organizations to help with the project by purchasing tickets for the dance. The dance is open to the public. Law sought that qualifications for congressional elections, set by the states, are uniformly applied to all residents. He urged approval of the measure in a speech before the student legal forum at the University of Virginia Law School. "The next meaningful step for Congress in carrying through its already expressed determination to effectively ensure the franchise for all citizens should be action such as the establishment of a system of federal election registrars, or the creation of a congressional election commission as an arm of the Congress." Hart said. The Federal Civil Rights Commission proposed last summer that the President be authorized to appoint federal registrars when there is reason to believe that local authorities would not properly carry out registration prior to federal elections. Fourteen other senators joined Hart in supporting his proposal for an elections commission would apply only to congressional elections Morrow To Be stores are swallowing-up the small independent grocery stores. He attacked the fact that Negroes are segregated at the Zoo and Fair grounds in Memphis." He explained "we can shop at stores with whites. We can meet and talk at the bargain counters in stores. Why can't we look at the elephants and alligators at the zoo together?" A committee was appointed by Dr. Brewster pastor of East Trigg Avenue Baptist church, to work out a theme for the 1960 celebration. Appointed were: Rev. Browning, Rev. Bunton, Rev. C. J. Gaston, Lt. Lee. Frank L. Scott, Also appointed to another committee were: Mrs. Mary Lee Jones, Mrs. Irma Jones and Mrs. Gertrude Knight. Lt. LeLe who made the last remarks before the meeting was adjourned said: "Our great problem is, we think we cannot survive without basking in the elongated shadows of the white man and his institutions. We have got to successfully participate in commerce and industry. It is a reflection on our genius our know-how. We will not be able to build virtue and fine womanhood as long as we do not provide a place for our young women with decent jobs other than those in a white man's kitchen, which subject our women to his, in some cases, greedy lust. Negroes should come of go." It was announced that the Committee will meet every Thursday at 4p. m. until plans for the celebration Tare completed. Building Costs Rise 2 Pct.

Sigma Gamma Rho Sonority is the sponsoring organization. This unusual production, adapted from the novel by Phyllis Bentaw Beardsley, Founder-Producer of The Bishop's Company, is rich in high poetic compassion. The human hero of this story is an old and humble Zulu parson from the hills above Ixopo in South Africa. He sets out for Johnnesburg in search of his only son. Finally he finds the son in prison as a result of an injustice to a white man who had devoted his life to justice for the black race. In the scenes between the native father of the African bay and the English father the story reaches a height of drama seldom equalled in contempory fiction. It is more than a story it is a profound experience of the human spirit. The English theatre, as m people knew was barn before the actar of the church The between church and stage being brought to an and by The Bishop's Company first modern American Company to reurte the forces of ligion and theatre.

Sigma Gamma Rho Sonority is the sponsoring organization. This unusual production, adapted from the novel by Phyllis Bentaw Beardsley, Founder-Producer of The Bishop's Company, is rich in high poetic compassion. The human hero of this story is an old and humble Zulu parson from the hills above Ixopo in South Africa. He sets out for Johnnesburg in search of his only son. Finally he finds the son in prison as a result of an injustice to a white man who had devoted his life to justice for the black race. In the scenes between the native father of the African bay and the English father the story reaches a height of drama seldom equalled in contempory fiction. It is more than a story it is a profound experience of the human spirit.

REAL ESTATE DIGEST "Wherefore by their fruits yet shall know them."—St. Matthew 7:20. We can improve our personalities by observing which of our habits are good, and which are bad or ineffective. We improve personality, not by same inspirational sleight-of-hand, but by cultivating those habits that make us effective, and by subduing or getting rid of those lbits that make us ineffective. The really fine salesman is the man who has been (trained for salesmanship. He is not merely the one possessing a "gift or gab" or a natural liking for people, but the one who has developed sound knowledge of his product, a sound working skill is using recognized sales procedures, and who has built a stronger selling personality, bit by bit, until he is a matter in the art, of dealing with people. Habits can be shaped and changed. You can do it, because whatever your present status, "salesmen are made, not born." When do smiles, compliments, generous praise, and the like carry any weight? Obviously, it's when they are sincere, and not used as tools of persuasion only Obviously, it's when the person using them likes, understands, and appreciates the people to whom he talks. It's when he really likes people, It was the French philosopher, Voltaire, who declared, "What you are speaks So loud I cannot hear what you say." That should be posted on every bulletin board in every real estate office. Or the great Biblical expression, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Or in the modern, practical statement of V. A. Ketcham, late professor in the Ohio State University. "The mood and attitude of the speaker reflect themselves automatically in his voice at the moment of utterance." Wrong mood, wrong voice, wrong impression. Right mood, right voice, right impression. If you want people to like you, and to believe what you say, it fol lows that you've got to like people. That's the crux of the whole matter of a persuasive, selling personality. If you don't like people, is there anything you can do about it — other than getting a purely mechanical or bookkeeping type of job? Emphatically, is. You can change your habitual feeling toward people just as you can change any and all lab its. "All things work to good to them that love Gad."—Enable.

Judge Hobart, in dismissing the portion of the suit against the company, said that the seating arrangement was a matter between the company and Negroes. Transit rules require Negroes to seat from the rear and whites to seat from the front. He said that if the city ordinance giving the bus firm authority to direct seating was "enacted as a sham to perpetuate discrimlnation in bus seating, end is being enforced to that end, the challenge to its constitutionality in application must be sustained." In Washington, the Supreme Court ruled that "suspicion is not enough" to permit FBI and other police agencies to arrest a citizen. The ruling reversed the conviction of John P. Henry of Chicago, who was picked up by FBI agents during a general lookout for whiskey thieves in 1957. They found no liquor but did find three cartons of stolen radios. The 7-2 vote said that FBI agents did not have the necessary "probable cause" to take Henry and a companion into custody. The two dissenters were Chief Justice Earl Warren and Justice Tom C. Clark. The majority opinion was written by Justice William O. Douglas. The court, which recessed after Monday's rulings, also: Denied a hearing to three stockholders of the Pennsylvania Railroad challenging the proxy votes cast for a management slate in an election last year; refused to hear barbers union of Philadelphia case challenging the validity of a state court order forbidding it to picket a one-man barber shop for not joining and dismissed an appeal by supermarket owners of New Orleans challenging the validity of a state milk marketing law.
