How To Burn Homes
Experts reported recently that one-fifth of all homes destroyed 
by fire during the winter months are burned as a result of
faulty heating systems. That being the case, it would be wise for
every homeowner to think about the causes of fires occurring
in heating systems.
Gas heaters should be carefully checked periodically. They
should also be used in ventilated rooms only because they exhaust 
the oxygen in the air. In addition, pipes or tubing used to
carry gas, should not be used for hanging things. Or be subject
to the driving of nails in their vicinity.
All stoves and furnaces should have at least a foot and a
half clearance on all sides from materials which might catch fire.
It is recommended that stoves be placed at least four inches
above the floor on legs, concrete or bricks. In addition, an insulated 
metal base under the stove will protect the floor.
Here are a few other tips:
Coal fires sometimes produce gases and there should be
ventilation around them, also. When banking furnace fires for
the night, dampers should never be completely closed. It is also
recommended that kerosene or gasoline never be used for starting 
fire — as is so often done in homes.
If you use a gas stove for cooking, be sure that pots do not
boil over and put out the flame, while you are out of the room
or unaware of what is happening. If you will follow these tips,
your home may still burn down, but it will probably be from
some other reason than a faulty heating system. And, chances
that your home will burn down will definitely be reduced.

YOUTH CRITICAL AFTER
MELEE IN NEW ORLEANS
A
teenage Negro boy shouting obscenities 
about the courts and
white people ran amok with a
knife in the famed French Quarter 
Saturday and severely wounded 
a small white boy before he
was shot down by police.
The youth, who appeared crazed
by dope slashed away at whites
along Deuphine Street — just a
block away from famed Bourbon
street — in the latest outbreak of
racial violence brought on by tensions 
over integration of New Orleans 
schools.
The youth identified as Donald
Erion, 17, was taken to a hospital
in critical condition with a severe
head wound.
His victim, Byron Walter Goss,
7, was severely cut under the left
arm after the youth attacked the
boy as he stood on his front steps
playing a ukelele.
The rampage and shooting drew
a big crowd in the streets of the
quarter. It was an ominous start
for a period which the city had
hoped would be peaceful with
the schools closed until Nov. 28.
The city had been relatively
quiet since mob scenes and violence 
on Wednesday. It was awaiting 
the ruling of a federal court
on state and school board attempts
to reverse integration and get four
first grade Negro girls out of the
schools.
It was about noon when the
morning - after quiet of the quarter 
was shattered by the Negro boy
suddenly running into white bars
and shops and cursing the proprietors. 

Then he drew a four-inch knife
and began slashing away at whites,
screaming, "he didn't" "give a —
about the federal government the
courts the white people."
His knife slashed away the coat
sleeves of one white man who ran
for a shotgun.
He stomped the boy and cut
him. It was feared the boy had a
skull fracture, too.
Women began screaming "get
him, get him." A police officer
in the three-wheel traffic cycle took
his pistol and shot from about 20
feet as Erion ducked between a
small sports car and the wall. One
bullet hit him in the hand and
the other in the head.
The sidewalk was covered with
blood in front of a bar which has
segregated entrances and areas
for Negroes and whites.
Police kept the crowd moving
and it gradually dispersed. But
the police were expected to take
extra precautions in the area Saturday 
night when the usual Saturday 
revelry could lead to more
trouble.
The week had been one of the
unhappiest in New Orleans history.
The admission of the four girls
to white schools brought knifings,
stonings, cross burning, hundreds
of arrest and use of fire hoses on
mobs. It brought consternation to
restaurants proud of the city's
famed reputation for gracious living. 

The schools will be closed all
next week for teachers meetings
and the Thanksgiving holidays. But
New Orleans most ? will be
face to face with the integration
conflict on Monday, Nov. 28.
If the court refuses to back down
on integration - as it has in the
past and pro-segregationists push
ahead with such moves as cutting
off funds for the New Orleans
schools. It could lead to complete 
shutdown of the educational
system or to another federal intervention 
by force such as occurred 
in Little Rock.

53rd Meeting

B. Coffey Rest Home, 454 Arden
Park, Detroit, Mich. and president 
of the Women's International 
Convention will preside.
In 1895, Elders C. P. Jones, C.
H. Mason and others, while searching 
the scriptures, felt that they
could not be saved without holiness. 
They were sanctified through
the truth and began to preach this
doctrine to their bearers.
Elder C. H. Mason, being set
forth to defend the gospel, prayed 
for a name, and while walking

along the streets in Little Rock,
Arkk., the Lord revealed this name
"The Church of God in Christ."
After attending a revival in California, 
Elder C. H. Mason came
back preaching, a New Testament
doctrine. In August 1907, the general 
assembly convened at Jackson,
Mississippi, with Elder C. P. Jones
presiding as overseer, who was adverse 
to this so called new doctrine 
premulgated by Elder Mason
and others.
Later in the same year, Elder
Mason called a meeting in Memphis, 
Tenn. of all the ministers who
believed in receiving the baptism
of the Holy Ghost according to the
scriptures. These bretheren formed 
the first General Assembly of
the Church of God in Christ whose
faith was founded upon the doctrine 
of the Apostles as received
on the day of Pentecost. The Lord
gave Elder Mason to be the chief
apostle.
The history of the organization
of the Women's Department of the
Church of God in Christ has the
names of Mrs. Lizzie Woods, Mother 
Lillian Brooks Coffey, Mother
Robinson and countless others. This
organization born on simple faith
has grown to three million members.

A FEVER in the BLOOD
From the novel published by St. Martin's Press, Inc. Copyright
1959, by William Pearson. Distributed by King Features Syndicate
THE CALLAHAN forces held
a worried, hastily assembled
conference in the home of Matt
Keenan. Meeting with the publisher 
in his library were the
District Attorney, Bert Bosworth, 
Larry Cosmo, and Bob
Vinquist.
"It's a heck of a thing," the
big-boned publisher said. "This
Thomas woman digs up a dead
cat about what you did to some
Jewish kid when you were nine
years old, and now you're a
spiritual descendant of Adolph
Hitler. At least that's the way
Simon is pumping it up. If he
spent half the time legislating
that he does shooting off his
mouth, he might even improve
enough to become the next-toworst 
Senator."
Pleased by the laughter his
barb evoked, Keenan tugged at
a warty ear and swung off on
a tangent. "I've given considerable 
thought as to how we
can keep fresh blood in public
life. In fact, once I almost
started an editorial campaign
to have all major officeholders
put before a firing squad after
their second term, but that
would make martyrs of them,
and some opportunistic windbag 
would want to build a memorial. 
More tax money down
the drain."
Cosmo, the portly campaignfund 
raiser, held out his brandy
glass for replenishment and
rumbled amiably, "I suggest,
sir, that we make them fivestar 
generals after their second
term. After a few months in
the Pentagon, they can retire
into the presidency of the best
blue-chip corporations."
"It would have to be four
stars, Larry," Keenan said
glumly, "otherwise, somebody
would want to run them for
President, and there they'd be,
in the thick of it again." He
took the brandy decanter to
Cosmo. "All right, let's get
down to work. First of all, let's
find out one thing. You're clean,
aren't you, Callahan? You
weren't out joy-riding the way
Mrs. Thomas says?"
"Matt, sometimes you go too
far."
"Okay, okay. But I don't
want to wake up some morning
and find myself holding the
short end of the stick."
Sulking Dan Callahan said, "I
don't know why she's making
an issue of this. I've been looking 
after the medical bills. I
didn't have to do a thing. An
official emergency vehicle has
immunity in the case of ordinary 
negligence. Does she think
we hit her boy on purpose?"
"I don't know what she
thinks," Keenan said, "but I
know we've got a bear by the
tall. Somebody's got to take the
rap."
"That's right, Dan," Bosworth 
said.
"What do you mean?"
The campaign manager's
spindly body bent forward. A
lampshade veiled his wasted
face with shadows. "Beers, Dan,
he's got to go."
"I couldn't do that to Mickey." 
Callahan shook his head
slowly. "We've, been through
too much together . . ."
"Dan, in politics, the man at
the top has to demand a thousand 
per cent loyalty from the
men below. But the men below
don't have the same claim on
him. There are times when
you've got to be ruthless. If
you believe in your cause."
The campaign manager's deepsocketed 
eyes darted to Keenan
for support. "Beers had the
siren on, but he was still driving 
too fast. He's got to be
disciplined. Suspended. The public's 
going to demand it. Right,
Mr. Keenan?"
"Hell, yes. You can't let one
of your staff get away with
running down a little kid."
Agitated, Callahan began to
limp back and forth. "What do
you think, Roberto?"
"I agree with Bert," Bob
Vinquist replied.
"Larry?"
"I agree."
"It's the only way you'll get
to the statehouse," Bosworth
said.
The District Attorney sat
down with a dazed expression.
"I'll . . . I'll talk it over with
Mickey . . ."
"Good," Bosworth said, tersely 
triumphant.
Keenan said, "I'm interested
in building you up outside Rowton. 
Especially with this Hart
case backfiring on you. What's
going on there, anyhow?"
"You tell him, Roberto."
Bob Vinquist said to Keenan,
"There isn't much more to it
than has been in the papers.
The witness isn't sure of his
identification. It's up to the
Supreme Court how much
weight they want to give to his
affidavit. Dan and I decided
that . . ."
 Callahan
said. "Roberto twisted my arm
on that one. Said we had no
business trying to have the affidavit 
stricken . . . and I guess
he's right . . . even though I'm
willing to bet Temple will swing
around the other way again before 
long."
Keenan grunted skeptically.
"Well, we've still got the rest
of the record you've made as
D.A. to fall back on, and it's
not a bad one. You got rid of
gambling. And we've got your
war record."
"We're, going to leave that
alone, Matt. War records don't
mean anything any more."
"That'll be news to the po
litical 
fraternity. But I happen
to think the war record's what
your build-up needs. Another
thing. In a week or so the
 going to run a five or
six-part biography of Big Dan
Callahan. I've got to know
about that war record. It's a
key part of the story." His
probing eyes mirrored momentary 
embarrassment before he
drove ahead. "Now, your leg.
Give me a quick run-down on
how it happened."
The District Attorney said
guardedly, "It was all OSS
work. Classified."
"Hell, the war's over. I was
a member of the same club, remember? 
Plenty of people have
written stories. If it's an official 
release that's troubling
you, I can get one in five minutes 
just by putting through a
phone call. Where'd it happen?"
"Argenzia, Italy."
"How'd it happen?"
"I . . . I was there to talk
to some Partisan leaders from
Torino. Turin."
"And were you meeting with
these Partisans when the bombs
fell?"
"More or less."
"Well, either you were or you
weren't"
"Well, we were getting ready
to talk."
"Were you in a house? The
woods?"
"A house."
"And the bomb hit you?"
"Part of the ceiling pinned
me."
"What happened to the
others?"
"There were two other survivors. 
One American. One
Italian." The District Attorney
clenched his jaws. "Matt . . .
I . . . I . . . I can't go on. This
has to be it."
"You're not saying there's
something  with running
a story about a war record, are
you?"
"All right, run it! Smear it
over the front page in red,
white, and blue. Maybe you can
get a tape-recording of my
screams. That ought to sell
papers."
"Damn it, Callahan, I'm not
trying to sell papers. I'm trying 
to beat Simon. Use your
brains! We need a big issue,
and so far we haven't found
it. So what do you do? You
buy a million dollars of bad
publicity by crippling a Negro
kid playing in the street. You're
just lucky he's going to be all
right. If he is. So if I can give
you  publicity for a change,
why do you fight it?"
Callahan raised his hands in
a gesture of appeasement.
"Okay, Matt, I appreciate the
things you've done . . ."
"You worry about beating Simon. 
You let me run my paper."

"You tell him, Roberto."
Bob Vinquist said to Keenan,
"There isn't much more to it
than has been in the papers.
The witness isn't sure of his
identification. It's up to the
Supreme Court how much
weight they want to give to his
affidavit. Dan and I decided
that . . ."
 Callahan
said. "Roberto twisted my arm
on that one. Said we had no
business trying to have the affidavit 
stricken . . . and I guess
he's right . . . even though I'm
willing to bet Temple will swing
around the other way again before 
long."
Keenan grunted skeptically.
"Well, we've still got the rest
of the record you've made as
D.A. to fall back on, and it's
not a bad one. You got rid of
gambling. And we've got your
war record."
"We're, going to leave that
alone, Matt. War records don't
mean anything any more."
"That'll be news to the po
litical 
fraternity. But I happen
to think the war record's what
your build-up needs. Another
thing. In a week or so the
 going to run a five or
six-part biography of Big Dan
Callahan. I've got to know
about that war record. It's a
key part of the story." His
probing eyes mirrored momentary 
embarrassment before he
drove ahead. "Now, your leg.
Give me a quick run-down on
how it happened."
The District Attorney said
guardedly, "It was all OSS
work. Classified."
"Hell, the war's over. I was
a member of the same club, remember? 
Plenty of people have
written stories. If it's an official 
release that's troubling
you, I can get one in five minutes 
just by putting through a
phone call. Where'd it happen?"
"Argenzia, Italy."
"How'd it happen?"
"I . . . I was there to talk
to some Partisan leaders from
Torino. Turin."
"And were you meeting with
these Partisans when the bombs
fell?"
"More or less."
"Well, either you were or you
weren't"
"Well, we were getting ready
to talk."
"Were you in a house? The
woods?"
"A house."
"And the bomb hit you?"
"Part of the ceiling pinned
me."
"What happened to the
others?"
"There were two other survivors. 
One American. One
Italian." The District Attorney
clenched his jaws. "Matt . . .
I . . . I . . . I can't go on. This
has to be it."
"You're not saying there's
something  with running
a story about a war record, are
you?"
"All right, run it! Smear it
over the front page in red,
white, and blue. Maybe you can
get a tape-recording of my
screams. That ought to sell
papers."
"Damn it, Callahan, I'm not
trying to sell papers. I'm trying 
to beat Simon. Use your
brains! We need a big issue,
and so far we haven't found
it. So what do you do? You
buy a million dollars of bad
publicity by crippling a Negro
kid playing in the street. You're
just lucky he's going to be all
right. If he is. So if I can give
you  publicity for a change,
why do you fight it?"
Callahan raised his hands in
a gesture of appeasement.
"Okay, Matt, I appreciate the
things you've done . . ."
"You worry about beating Simon. 
You let me run my paper."

Mobile City Bus
Lines To Employ
More Negro Drivers
The employment 
of several more Negro city
bus drivers was promised by the
Mobile City Lines. It was disclosed
this week by J. L. LeFlore, veteran
civil rights official.
LeFlore, who represented a citizen's 
group, who, along with the
Non - Partisan Voters League then
president, Prof. U. E. Powell, initiated 
the move for the opening of
the new job opportunity to Negroes
last Nov. 30 said assurances have
been given by a city bus lines official 
that the additional drivers
will be employed in the near future. 

He said the statement was authorized 
by R. J. Cortwright, superintendent 
of transportation, last
Friday following an almost continuous 
effort in that direction by
the civil rights officials over the
past six months.
LeFlore said the bus company
management was impressed by a
recent survey conducted under his
direction which showed that an
estimated 60 per cent or more of
the patronage enjoyed by the local
transit line is provided by Negro
passengers.
As a result of this last November
move by the citizens' group, the
Mobile City Lines employed two
Negro bus drivers last March.

Husband Saves Wife
From Death In Fire
A welder jumped from his second 
- story apartment to a tree,
slid down and then caught his
young wife in his arms last week in
a desperate bid to escape a raging
fire.
Melvin Cox, 21, and wife, Annie,
15, were awakened at 5:40 a. m.
by smoke and fire in their secondfloor 
apartment.
With a stairway blocked by
flames, Cox jumped to a tree
alongside the house and slid to
safety. Then his wife jumped into
his arms. Neither was injured in
the $6,000 fire, officials reported.
Cox said he discovered the fire
shortly after lighting an oil heater
in the apartment to take off the
morning chill. Cox stated he and
his wife were married four months
ago.
Cox said all his possessions, including 
clothes and furniture were
destroyed.

that the suit be withheld until

MY WEEKLY
SERMON
By
REV. BLAIR T. HUNT
PASTOR
MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN CHURCH

Let us thank God for everything;
thank God for the hard times of
life as well as for the soft things
of life.
In years gone by our parents
taught us, though we were mere
tots, to say "Ta, Ta" for every little 
gift rendered into our baby
hands. "Ta, Ta" is a baby language 
for "thanks, thanks."
In everything, even in very hard
things, let us give thanks to God.
I thank God that I am a member
of the Negro race. I would rather
be a Negro than any other race.
The Negro has made greater progress 
in less than one hundred
years than any other race in two
hundred years. Yes, I thank God
I am a Negro.
I thank God I am poor. Being
poor I know my friends. If I were
rich I couldn't separate my money's
friends from my own true friends.
My being poor, I know my friends.
My friends love me for what I am.

They love me, not my money for
I have no money.
I am thankful I am poor.
Yes, I thank God for pain, for
pain is God's red-light telling me
something is wrong in my body
and it is time to get right. Pain
tells me my body is violating Nature's 
laws. Without pain maybe
my violations of the laws of health
would be unknown to me and in
ignorance I would shorten my days.
Pain and suffering drive me to action; 
they teach me to be humble.
Yes, let us thank God for all
things. Thank God for blessings
that are general like sunshine and
rain and food and shelter. But
every one has his own perculiar
blessing. May be it is some deliverance. 
We should thank God for
help that comes to us in time of
trouble, or the good that we were
conscious of receiving from what
we thought at the time would
break our hearts. We proved to be
one of the greatest blessings of our
lives. The thorn that tormented us
was God's voice saying, "My grace
is sufficient for you, my strength
is made perfect in your weakness."
We learned how to cast our cares
upon God, knowing that he cares
for us and we come to know that
all things work together for our
good because we love him, and are
called according to His purpose.
Yes, we give thanks for the things
that trouble us because they wean
our affections from the things that
are seen to the things that are not
seen, giving us a fineness of character 
that can come in no other
way and leading us to that happy
place where we shall no more
neither thirst any more . . . where
God shall wipe away all tears from
our eyes.
Thanks be to God for every earthly 
blessing. But when we think of
God laying under tribute all His
wisdom, power and love to give us
His only begotten Son Jesus that
we poor, deluded, miserable and
fallen children might be redeemed, 
we are filled with thankfulness.
Then it is our hearts cry out
thanks be to God for Jesus.
