SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Year $5.00—6 Months $3.00—3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) POLIO-No Respector Of Persons The nation is making one common plea now! This Day, This month, that should be heeded by everyone, no matter how small your means may be—GIVE! That penny added may make an even dollar, this dollar added to others may make some helpless child breathe just a little easier. This within itself may make some parent spend a more helpful night. Polio strikes not only children, as has been the mistaken idea, but the grown-up is subject to its terrible ravages. It is a sneaking destroyer. It seldom gives a recognizable warning. It comes as a thief in the night. It quietens the mischievous little boy and confines to the wheel chair the active intelligency. Give that these may take the treatments provided by the Foundation. Yes these treatments are long and costly. But there is no other known method. Science has not perfected a cheap quick cure yet. Boasts School Unit Will Equalize Negro Education Ground has been broken on the site of a school which Mississippi hopes will fulfill demands for equal facilities for Negro and white pupils and thus relieve the threat of integration in public schools here. The embryonic school is the Hinds County Agricultural high school at Utica Institute which is being constructed from a $390,000 appropriation by the county permitted by the stale legislature. Mississippi boats that the twobuilding unit will equalize educational facilites for Negroes. According to Robert M. Mayo, the Hinds county superintendent of education, the trustees decided_ to pattern the new high school after the Mississippi State Vocational School at Itta Bena after architests employed by them had traveled over the state inspecting the most modern school plants The new school will not replace any of the existing buildings at Utica Institute, but will provide additional facilities. The institute itself was founded about 50 years ago by William H. Holtzlaw, a colored Mississippian. Vocational education was stressed in Holtzlaw's school, and the buildings were constructed largely by the students. Although their lack of professional planning becomes more apparent they still are being used. The institute was governed by a board of trustees appointed by Holtzclaw himself. When he died, the management of the school was taken over by his son. Through the years, the younger Holtzclaw found it increasing hard to meet the financial obligations of the institution and finally the trustees deeded the land and buildings situated there to Hinds county. The school was then placed under the supervision of the board of trustees of the Hinds Junior College and Agricultural High School. In commenting on the new school Mayo said: "The school is superior in accommodation and design to most of the white schools in the county because it is more modern. We are sure it will meet the equal facilities test, both now and in the future." Miss Bernadine Holtzclaw, a senior at the institute and granddaughter of its founder, turned the first spade of earth in the groundbreaking ceremony "Fess" Hulbert To Stage Gala Show At Elks Club Sunday, February 1, will be a day many Memphians will always remember, it is the day that "fess" Hulbert will stage a gala show at the new Elks Club, 401 Beale Avenue. The feature attraction is the exotic dancer, Bertina Jackson, the former wife of Bull Moose Jackson. Bertina has appeared on many stages of New York Theaters and was widely acclaimed for her unique execution and exotic style. She will be supported by stellar attractions as Margaret Ann Hubbard, the master of the terpsichorean art that's been widely heralded as the "Tapping Master." Bonita Cole, recording artist, who rocketed "I Hear You Knocking" will thrill you with her vocalizing. Music will be rendered by Al Jackson and his Orchestra, featuring Dick Cole, as the vocalist. The shows will be presented oneat 10:00 p. m. and another at midnight. Prof. Maurice Hulbert, Sr., the newly elected manager of the Elks Club stated that the Club has been completely redecorated, and will be open every night. Ladies arriving before 10 p. m. will be admitted free. Every Friday Saturday and Sunday nights will be floor show nights Music will be furnished at all time's by Al Jackson and his orchestra.

Women and girls who suffer from those functionally caused cramps, backaches and headaches of menstruation — who feel upset and irritable on certain "particular days" — may often be suffering quite unnecessarily! Such is the conclusion from tests by doctors in Which Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound gave relief from such distress in 3 out of 4 of the cases tested! Yes! Medical evidence shows Lydia Pinkham's thoroughly modern in action. It exerts a remarkably effect on the uterus — The effectiveness of Lydia Pinkham's needs no proof to the millions of women and girls whom it has benefited. But how about you? Do you know what it may do for Lydia Pinkham's through the month. See if you don't get the same relief from the pains and weakness of "those days"! See if you don't feel better and during your period! Get either Lydia pinkham's Compound, or Tablets, with added iron!

Woman Sues Photo Studio; Alleges Bias A Savannah woman, who says she was refused a guaranteed award certificate service because she is a Negro, has filed a $5,000 damage suit against the Bon Art Studio. Mrs. H. M. Collier filed the suit in City Court contending she paid $2 for an official $24 award certificate." The certificate entitled her of two photographs at the Bon Art Studio, 18 West Broughton. Mrs. Collier held that studio officials informed her when she went to get the portraits that they "did not render service to Negroes." The certificates were for two 11×14-inch bronze tone portraits. The plaintiff, who held that her daughter-in-law accompanied her to the studio, termed the refusal to serve her as "willful, malicious and wanton," which caused her great humiliation and embarrassment. Mrs. Collier said she bought the certificates at the "direction, advice and request" of the Bon Art studio. Dulles Outlines New "Foreign" Policy In Talk Secretary of State John Foster Dulles declared last night that President Eisenhower is "absolutely opposed" to suggestions that the United States smash the Soviet strategy of encirclement by waging war. The secretary asserted in a nationwide television-radio address outlining what he called the Eisenhower administration's foreign policy of "enlightened self-interest" that "we shall never choose war as the instrument of our policy." Dulles assured the people that the U. S. government "will not be intimidated subverted or conquered" and added: "Together with the other free peoples of the world we can, I am confident, peacefully achieve an honorable peace." He said the terror tactics now being Carried out behind the Iron Curtain are symptoms of "indigestion" in the Soviet empire which could "become so acute that it might be fatal.' In his first report to the American people since taking office Dulles covered a wide range of global problems confronting the new GOP administration. He spoke on the eve of his departure with Mutual Security Administrator Stassen for a fact-finding tour of Western Europe. High points of the Secretary's address included: 1. The President emphatically rejects any suggestions that the U. S. should start a war against Russia, and gives no credence to any theory that "time i running against us." 2. The U. S. and its United Nations allies must win what Dulles called the "cruel and bloody war" in Korea not only to repel aggression but to safeguard Japan from the menace of conquest by Russia or Communist China. The Secretary cited Stalin's boast that if it dominated Japan the Soviet Union would be invincible. 3. Dulles pledged that there will be no commitments "of any kind, sort or description" during his European trip, but said that he will attempt to bolster free Europe's determination to present a united front against Communist aggression. 4. He declared that the U. S. Communist party is part of a "gigantic conspiracy" to overthrew the American government and said the threat is so "deadly serious"' that any American failing to recognize it is "like a soldier asleep at his post." 5. The Secretary promised that "all of the resources of the government," including the FBI, will be coordinated to find and prosecute. Reds and Red sympathizers "who have found their way into high places and betrayed secrets—even that of the atomic bomb." 6. Dulles said the cold war can be won if the U. S. creates in other peoples "such a love and respect for freedom that they can never really be obsorbed by despotism, the totalitarian dictatorship of the Communist world." 7. He charged that in the Middle East the Kremlin is attempting to inspire in the Arabs a "financial hatred" of the U. S. and Britain in an area containing the world's greatest oil reserves, loss of which would be a disastrous blow to the free nations. 8. Dulles said that native revolts through Africa have been engineered by Moscow in the hope that Free Europe can be denied access to raw materials vital to its military and economic strength. 9. He warned that both Communist and Fascist movements in South America are attempting to destroy the traditional friend ship of the American republics and inferentially criticized the Truman administration for a policy of "neglect" toward those neighboring nations. 10. Dulles called for a revitalization of the bipartisan U. S. foreign policy, particularly in regard to Western Europe.

Distributed by King Features Syndicate. Captain Mark Whirter conspires with two ruffians to embarass River Boat Captain Denny Rawls while he dines at the old Planters hotel in St. Louis. The year is 1864. In the Planters gay dining hall Kathleen Garrison introdares herself to Rawls, asks him to captain her cargo boat. "The Varina" to Ft. Benton, but Rawis already has a commitment. As they chat Rawls fliancee. Astrid McQuestion her father Lomax McQuestion, owner of a great river fleet and Captain Whirter arrive. As Denny walks over to greet them, he is jostled and insulted by the two ruffians hired to embarass him. He knocks them to the floor. Denny accepts old McQuestion's offer to pilot his boat "The Astrid" to Ft. Benton Kathleen learns that Denny Rawls is about to become the victim of a vicious plot conceived by McQuestion and Whirter and that beautiful Astrid is part of that plot, too. THE RAIN had stopped, but the skies still lowered. Rawls picked his way forward to the observing the slowness with which loading was proceeding. Correctly locating the official in charge, he introduced himself. "I'm Denny Rawls—captain in command of the Is anything the matter?" Some of the sullenness and uncertainty in the man's eyes seemed to lift at his name "Captain Rawls, eh?" The shipping official shook hands cordially "I've heard of you of course sir. You say you're in command of the . "That's right. I'm taking her to Fort Benton, with supplies for the new Montana mining camps." "And from all reports. Captain. you're the man who can do it, if anyone can. Well, that makes it better. If you're in command. I guess everything's in order." His comments were puzzling, but Rawls put the matter aside as he met his crew and superintended the loading of cargo. His first officer was 'Lias Cannon, a man of whom he had never heard, but that was not surprising, and Cannon seemed competent. He had the look of a driver, a cold-eyed man who appeared to know what he wanted and who would brook few obstacles in getting it. But that did not worry Rawls. What did worry him was the lack of opportunity to see Astrid. Everything seemed to conspire to keep him away from her. After days apart, he still hadn't held her in his arms, kissed her, or had a single word alone with her! He fought back an uneasy conviction that she could remedy that situation readily enough if she tried. She was the daughter of the owner, and from all reports, Lomax McQuestion would do anything that she asked of him. What man wouldn't, for the matter of that! It was mid-afternoon when Astrid arrived with her father, and gaily insisted that he come with them. Rawls needed no urging Turning the loading over to Cannon, he entered their carriage. But to his increasing disappointment they were not going to the McQuestion house, on a dominating point at the edge of town, but to another restaurant. There was more business to discuss with her father, and no time alone with Astrid. "How many passengers do we carry?" Rawls asked rather absently. "As many as can pile aboard, I suppose?" McQuestion schools his head, "No passengers, Denny," he said. "No passengers at all." Seeing Rawls look of surprise, he went on rather hastily: "We have a lot of cargo, and there's trouble on the upper river, from all reports. I figure it's too big a risk, both for them and for us, to be cumbered with them. So no passengers. That will save stopping at every town and farm along the way and the waste of days of time. Also, and mindful of possible trouble, we'll have a bigger crew than usual, just in case." It sounded plausible the way he put it, though on second thought Rawls wondered. Few boat owners gave much consideration to the safety or welfare of their passengers, and there were always plenty who were eager to secure passage and run the attendant risks. They would pay enough to more than make up for small delays or in conveniences. But that was MeQuestion's business, and Rawls dismissed it from his mind. When he finally returned to the boat, the loading was completed and everything was in readiness for an early start the next morning. Tired, for his foot still bothered him, Rawls went to his own room. He had been sure that Astrid would be down with her father in the morning to see them off. But again he was mistaken. Neither Astrid nor Lomax McQuestion put in an appearance. Having delayed as long as he could, while mists cleared from the river and the sun came booming out of the east, Rawls gave the order to get under way. He stared bleakly at the river as they pushed against the current, leaving the city behind. There was a pilot in the pilothouse, slated to handle the packet for the first few days, so for the present Rawls had none of that responsibility. Farther upstream he would have to be pilot as well as captain. What rankled was the hurt, the growing suspicion that something was radically wrong. Unable to put his finger on what it might be, he tried to shut his mind to the possibility of disaster. These matters were trivial in themselves, capable of ready explanation. It was better to believe that the reasons would be forthcoming in due course. Which, as a philosophy, failed signally to convince. His mind returned to his first meeting with Astrid, a few weeks before and a hundred miles up the river. She had bowled him over, swept him off his feet. Considering her beauty, the sweet charm she had shown him, his own feeling was not at all surprising. But that she should feel the same way about him was as bewildering as it was wonderful. Yet love him she had, for she had admitted as much when he had voiced his own feelings. For days he'd had his head in the clouds, his feet scarcely on a deck, He'd been willing to come to St. Louis again because she would be there. Soberly he reviewed it now, step by step. The first false note had been struck at The Planters. Why had she changed so completely in a few days? For here in her own town it was as though he talked with a stranger— Rawls staggered to a violent shock, clutched for support, then sprinted for the deck, as the shuddering violently, came to a halt. No need to ask what had happened. They had hit a sand bar and were hard aground. SYNOPSIS by AL CODY Copyright, 1952, by Al Cody. Distributed by King Features Syndicate.

Newspaper Still Best Medium For Advertising Use An advertising executive said today that newspapers are the most effective method for advertisers to reach "the entire market." T. Norman Tveter, vice president of Edwin, Wasey and Co., of New York, told the 43rd annual meeting of the Newspaper Advertising Executives Association in Chicago that national media reach only 40 per cent of the buying prospects. He said: "Adding adequate use of newspapers by an advertiser could easily double his business in a few years. "The successful product, sales and campaign theme is already there. "The newspaper is the only medium that always has, and still does, deliver the entire metropolitan market as its completely captive audience' day in and day out. "Sales are not national until first they are local. Sales stay national only as long as they are strong locally."

Breakfast time is Colonial time Enriched Colonial is good Bread HEALTH THE WORLD FORUM An S.N.S. Feature By DR. A. E. HORNE Brain Tumor is a very common disease. It Is characterized by the gradual development of symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, headaches, slow pulse, nausea, and vomiting, etc., and sometimes by symptoms due to the tumor growth. The chief general symptoms are headache, vomiting, and certain eye changes. All of these may be present, any one of them may be absent, any two of them may be absent, and in some cases all of them are absent. Other general symptoms are insomnia, mental failure and partial stupor. Examination of the cerebrospinal fluid may be helpful. In recent years the diagnosis of the site of the lesion has been greatly facilitated by the method of air injected into the Cerebral Ventricles with subsequent x-ray examination, Other conditions may resemble tumor of the brain, may be cerebral circulatory disturbances, cerebral syphilis, meningitis, abcess, aneuryms and urenia. As stated in the foregoing para graphs, the headache of intrac al tumors is generally attributed to intracranial pressure. The headache has a predilection for the morning, usually occurring immediately after awakening, but often wakening the patient at an early hour. Rising from bed makes it much worse, and sudden change of posture is much resented. Movements of the head are liable to increase or precipitate the headache. The pain may last from 30 seconds to half an hour, then disappeering as quickly as it came and it leaves the patient exhausted. The headache of intracranial tumor is nearly always referred to the forehead whether it involves other areas or not. Dr. Home will answer questions relating to health and hygiene in this column and by mail. He will not make diagnosis precribe individuals. Inclose stamped addressed envelope to: A. E. Home. M.

MEALTIME MELODIES Perhaps you've made and broken your new year's resolutions several times, so we won't ask you to make another, but merely to make a decision — decide that beginning in February you are going to take extra special care of your teeth. They are essential to a pretty smile, you know. They are also essential to your good health. Store bought teeth may grind the food, but those Godgiven ones will grind it better and won't click nearly as much. Start right now with a trip to your dentist. He will check to make sure you have no cavities or other conditions that need attention. And, of course, he will give you a thorough cleaning job. When you leave the dentist's chair the rest is up to you — you must give your teeth constant care. Dentists now know that whether you brush your teeth morning and night or not, it is vital to brush them after each meal. They have found that most decay takes place in the ninety minutes after eating — so brushing must follow the meal if it's to be effective. And speaking of meals, the foods that you include in your three meals a day have direct bearing on the health of your teeth. You want to eat foods that get into your teeth and build them not destroy them. The foods that do this are listed to seven groups on our "Guide to Good Eating." Let's count them off: (1) Milk, two or more glasses for adults; three to four or more glasses for children;(2) Vegetables, 2 or more servings daily besides potato; (3) Fruit, 2 or more servings dally; (4) Eggs, 3 to 5 a week; 1 daily preferred. (5) Meat, cheese, fish, fowl — 1 or more servings daily. (8) Cereal bread, 2 or more servings; (7) B — 2 or more tablespoons daily. Now let's plan a day's menu, including the recommended amount of each food. Ready to Eat Cereal Egg Coffee Buttered Toast Milk Cream of Tomato Soup Bologna Sandwiches Carrot Sticks Apples Milk or hot chocolate Bread'n Butter Sandwiches Milk Beef Stew with Vegetables Frozen Fruit Salad Rolls Butter Ice Cream and Cookies Milks If you don't already have a copy of our "Guide to Good Eating," for it before going to the dentist.
