Dr. Archibald J. Carey's New Assignment The recent appointment of Dr. Archibald J. Carey, chairman of the Committee which guards against discrimination in.

Dr. Carey is to be commended for his new assignment, the President deserves a big hand for his wise selection and the post in which he is to serve has come into a rich opportunity to render a merited service for the government and the official personnel as well. Nothing Like Advertising Through The Press In surveys made by those who specialize in reactions to advertising stimulus, it would be seen that the old adage holds, "seeing is believing." One does not have to make any fight on any medium of advertising; advertising is a part of the life of publicity whether on the screen on the air or the bulletin board. Things heard make their indentures in somewhat of a passive style still this is advertising. In newspaper advertising there is something to be seen; something which can be clipped and oft referred to in the making up of the human mind. Pictures and symbols serve well in advertising schemes. When the symbol and the picture can be folded in the pocket or kept on the table, the spare moments within the grasp of the individual may be consumed in reading over and over such advertisements. What one reads becomes a part of him and reading matter is never perishable. Newspaper advertising is one of the most important keepers of history. Old newspapers are wide educational mediums and their quotes of old prices are excellent information for contrast. Newspapers dissiminate opinion; they are living citizens and move and have their being on what friends of the craft will afford for their existence. When you advertise you climatize; when you climatize you imprint that spiritual conditioner which can often be referred to. In other words the prospect is able to see at will and at leisure what remains on the printed page. Bishop Nichols' Suspension Bishop D. Ward Nichols of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, has been found guilty on five charges of irregularities by a jury of the connection and suspended until the next General Conference in 1960. Under church law he is privileged to appeal the decision to the Judicial Council within the ten days from the verdict last Saturday. His conviction and subsequent suspension unquestionably marks a new church order arising out of energetic, intellectual and conscientious leadership. This new leadership has challenged buses and excesses which they believe to be detrimental to the law, worship, expansion and administration of the African Methodist Church. Innocent or guilty of these accusations, Bishop Nichols, must understand, that his accusers and the jurors which found him guilty are of a new moral and enlightened leadership which will not tolerate in the name, of Christianity, immorality of person, disobedience to the Order and Discipline of the African Methodlst Church or the various shades of maladministration, which from time to time have been exposed in the connection. A young, informed and zealous. African Methodist Church shows in graphic relief behind the case which was heard over a! five-day period in Jacksonville, Fla. The jurors listened to long testimony relating to administration of church properties and schools under Bishop Nichols' authority in various episcopalships. The jurors patiently attempted to shift the irrelevant from the frivolous, and malicious. Patiently, the jurors reached their verdict. Not every one will agree with it, but to a man most will agree that the jurors deliberated the case without coercion returned their verdict. The basis of the lamented trial were charges filed by Presiding Elder M. M. Lindsay and former Edward Waters President W. B. Stewart, whose ouster from the Jacksonville school, brought the stormy condition of the Florida Episcopacy into church debate. The case was heard by a cross-section of the connection with Bishop Richard R. Wright, Jr., sitting as trial judge; Dr. Dwight Kyle as recorder, R. W. Green of Cuthbert, Ga. was reporter. It is regrettable that the bosom of one of the highest church leaders must be stripped bare and his deeds as an episcopal officer be held to censure. It is too early to tell whether the new leadership broom now predominant in the church through this conviction will continue to sweep the cobwebs clean and spearhead more drastic reforms. But we commend the church for correcting any wrongs or evils within its jurisdiction.

This could only be possible by having open annual conventions with the power of election, each delegation having the right to make is own nominations. If NAACP is to constructively represent the American Negro it must make peace with the white South, the nearest white neighbors of the overwhelming majority of American Negroes. If NAACP is to honestly represent the American Negro it must be from the premise that American Negroes are an express American group and proud of it, and while all policies should be for the race's advancement, no policy should be followed to lessen our identity as a group.

Berthan Cool ask a $1,000 retainer, but Corning agrees only to a $150 advance. The Texan explains. "This is relatively a small case. I want to keep it small." Donald who is telling the story, drives to the home of Drory Wells in Southern California and finds Welts to be about uncooperative and unconcerned about his wife. He says that she simply walked out on him three days earlier. You Have a car?" I asked Drury Wells. "Yep, a jalopy." "She didn't take that?" "Damned right she didn't! I wouldn't nave stood for that." "Then how did she leave?" "Walked, I guess." "A bus line near here?" "It's about ball a mile." "Did she take a suitcase?" "I don't know. I tell you I didn't see her. "Don't you know how many suitcases you have?" "I do now. I think there's one suitcase missing, but I don't know." "How about her clothes? She still has some here?" "That's right." "If she was carrying a suitcase, and had to walk half a mile, she couldn't nave taken very many clothes with her." "That's logical." "Did your wife own any property other than what her uncle left?" "I don't know. I'm not interested tn any of her property. Look, mister, what did you say your name was?" "Lam. Donald Lam." And you're a detective?" "That's right." "Somebody's paying you for this?" "I don't work for nothing." "Well, if somebody's paying you, you ought to earn your, money. Personally, I've got nothing against you, but I just don't like to have strangers come into my house and mess around in stuff that's none of their business." "That's your attitude?" "That's my attitude." "All right. I'll scout around a bit." I got to my feet. "Good-bye." "Good-bye," he said. I went to the front door. He started to get up to see me out, then thought better of it, just waved his hand and moved over to the overstuffed chair I had vacated, settled back in it, and put his feet up on a straight chair. I walked over to the house on the west. The name on the mailbox said, "W. Charles Raleigh." I rang the bell and almost immediately the doorknob started to turn. Then, as though the person on the other side of the door telt it would De more fitting to wait for an interval so the situation wouldn't be too obvious, the knob ceased turning, was held motionless for a matter of some five seconds, then the knob was turned the rest of the way back, the door latch clicked, and a hatchet-faced, black-eyed woman in her middle fifties said. "How do you do?" rattling the words out so they all ran together. "How do you do?" I said. "I'm trying' to get some Information about the people who live next door and—" "What do you do?" "I'm a detective." "Well, It's about time! It's about time somebody did something. Come on in. Come right on In and sit down. When I stop to think what happened to that poor woman over there, and the fact that everyone lets him get away with it, I think it's the most shocking thing I ever heard of! It's an Indictment of our police force and our civilization, what it is! Come in and sit down. What did you say your name was?" "I didn't say. It's Donald Lam." "I'm Mrs. W. Charles Raleigh." "I surmised as much." "Now understand," she said, I'm not a snoop, I'm just a common, ordinary mortal. I try to be a good neighbor. I don't push myself in where I'm not wanted. I try to be friendly. I feel that, in a neighborhood like this, people are all living together and they should get to know each other and behave like human beings. Is there anything wrong with that?" "Not that I can see." "Well, my husband Wendell— that's his first name, Wendell, but he doesn't like it. Anyway, Wendell says I interfere too much. He insists that we had to move out of that last neighborhood because I was prying Into things that were none of my business. "Lord knows I don't want Wendell to think I'm prying and snooping in a situation, of this sort. I'm glad you came to me of your own accord and without any encouragement from me, Mr. Lam. You say you're a detective? "Private. "You mean you aren't representing the police?" I shook my head. "You mean that after all that's happened the police "haven't got ere yet? "Not' yet." "Well, what do you know about that!" she exclaimed. "Well, I may just as well tell you what I know. After all, there isn't any secret about it. "It was last Friday night, that's the thirteenth. My husband sleeps heavy, I don't. I heard this racket over there next door, and I could near they were having quite a fight. It was just about midnight. "Now, I told you I'm not nosy, but after all, there are certain limits to what a neighbor is supposed to nave to put up with. I got up to see what it was all about. It was a tight. Drury wells was swearing at his wile something awful, and then she screamed. It was the most terified, piercing scream I ever heard in my life and I am willing swear to you, Mr. Lam, that. I heard something thud. "Now, my husband tells me that I didn't hear any such thing. 3e tells me I'm just crazy. I guess I know what I heard and what I didn't hear." "What did you do?" I asked. "I eased back the shade on the window and looked over there. There were lights in the house, but the curtains were down and you couldn't see a thing. And there wasn't a single, solitary sound out of that house after that. "Now, you can't tell me that man didn't hit her and knock her out, and from what I know now, my Idea is that he didn't hit her with his fist. He hit her with some sort of a club and he killed her. That's what I think, Mr. Lam. He killed her!" "What makes you think so?" I asked. "Well, I told you I so. Actually I know so. Now I'm going to tell you how I know it, Mr. Lam. "I went and got a robe and sat up there by that window, waiting to see what happened. And I saw that man come out of the back door of his house and walk over to the garage where the car was parked, and do you know what he was carrying?" "What was he carrying?" "He was carrying a great big bundle over his shoulder, something that had been rolled up in a rug, it looked like. Or a blanket Something dark. And do you know, what that was Mr. Lam?" "What do you think' It was?" "It Isn't what I it was. It's what I it was. He was carrying the body of that woman." WISHING WELL Registered U. S. Patent Office.

ELEANOR Dear Eleanor, From your, personal observation, What causes would you list as the chief causes of divorce? I am a young man considering getting married within the next year or so. I see so many couples winding- up in the divorce court nowadays. And I do so earnestly want to make a go of it. I believe that if a person knows where a "ditch' is he might be more able to avoid stepping in it; don't you? Mr. X. Dear Eleanor, For the past, four 'years my wife and I have lived in an apartment. We have been able to save only a small amount of money after living on a rather moderate scale. She sees many of our friends purchasing new homes; and she seems to insist, that we should do likewise. With my income, even, at sacrifice, I do not see how we can afford to make the change now What do you advise? Only one-sixth of the familiesliving in American cities have enough, income to justify the purchase of a new house, according to the National Housing Conference, a nonprofit organization established in 1931. A survey of eleven cities showed that the minimum price of new one-family houses ranged from $8,490 for a row house in Philadelphia to $13,900 for a detached dwelling in Milwaukee. The median was $11450 in Kansas City. A family would have to have an annual income of $7,156 to meet the costs of an $11,450 house.
