The MEMPHIS WORLD is an independent newspaper — non-sectarian
and non-partisan printing news unbiasedly and supporting those things
it believes to be of interest of its readers and opposing those things
against the interest of its readers.

A New Africa And A New Opportunity
Not many survive in this generation who can vividly recoil 
the early movement of Bishop Henry M. Turner of the AME
church to take the Negroes back to Africa. At the time he advocated 
what the thought in his time, a plausible and effective
solution of the question extended down to this very day, there
were those living in that generation who actually had been
brought from Africa and sold into slavery. They still spoke the
broken tongue of the European nation that exploited and betrayed 
them.
However, the powerful missionary spirt of Bishop Turner
caused many a family to break up and go back to Africa.
Being an American Bishop, Turner was unable to follow through
in detail his dream, which in time fell through as a massive
measure to return the Negro back to me fatherland.
Since that time, Marcus Garvey, prince-like descendant of
West Indies parents, started a more modern approach to a back
to Africa movement, Garvey had a heavy dream, he saw the
organization of big ship combines to effect the movement. For
a time it took an big proportions, so much like the stature of its
founder, only to, in time fall through.
Now, with the recent contagion of freedom and African
states being given their freedom, such spirits as President Tubmn 
and other reliable enthusiasts might see a different approach 
back of a new african movement.
So far on we are concerned, the Negro in America is no
immigrant; if even there were a bonified American it is what is
known in the parlance of racial identification and antropologic
acceptance, as the Negro.
But, the Negro has a right to go and try out African industries 
and venture in the exploits of African development of
mines and rubber. It is his to try, if he desires the opportunities
being offered in that profilic and productive clime whose surace 
is unscratched.
Many a deserved and forgotten land has fallen under the
scope of those who spilled over that area for new colonization.
With the dry up of the rurals, the squabble for jobs and the
denial af equal opportunity because of a world shrinkage, it is
fine to look to the inviting atmoshpere and prolific opportunities 
of a new Africa. Maybe not far in the dim distance there
will be found an answer for much of what arise as questions
to our current and disturbing problem.

Read The Speeches Now
On cold winter nights, the average American may get a
chuckle out of some of the political soap opera which entertained 
us from the early part of the year through November 8th.
We can also listen for the crash of doom, if the words of the
defeated pary politicians were accurated as prophecy.
The amazing thing about the political demagogury and
soap opera, which characterizes the American scene during every
election year, is that the country somehow manages to survive
and the people some how manage to keep a calm bearing amidst
the sensational screams of the politicians. It is a tribute to the
American way of life that the avrage American manages to
stand up under the strain and borrage so well.
The most interesting of the pre-election speeches are those
in which candidates of each major party explain why the election 
 "in the bag" — for them. The arguments sounded convincing 
of the time although — unfortunately somebody had to
lose and somebody's calculations had to be wrong, as is always
the case in every election.

Play Safe—Be Safe
Every year at this time we elect to remind our readers of
the perils and other wise handicaps during a busy shopping season. 
These are times when last-minute shoppers flood the market
places, day and night, in search of those essentials so necessary
for the making of Christmas merry.
There are those who might have had some of the sad experiences 
of having their money taken from them; their purses
lifted while they shop by some unscrupulous person who makes
it a profitable pastime to prey upon those who happen to be
unsuspicious.
In the First place your pocketbook; stay aloof as
much as possible from those suspicious-looking persons who seem
to be just milling around, looking at everything and buying
nothing.
See that your bundles are in one bag as far as possible and
make sure you pick them up when you move from place to place.
We have had sad reports of forgetful ones leaving their
purchases on the buses in taxicabs and what not. A good presence 
of mind is the best advice. Train yourself to remember. See
to it that you are given proper change, as there are those who
are new on these jobs in the shops, having been secured for the
Christmas rush season.
Dont forget to check the lock to your home, the windows
and other entries in order that your premises be safe from intruders 
while you are away.
Just these few pointers handed you, it is hoped that they
will suggest others not contained in this log.
Be safe—play safe!

Protests At Ike's Augusta Quarters
President
Eisenhower's vacation headquarters
was picked for the first time Saturday 
by some 60 Negro college
students protesting against segregation. 

Eisenhower did not see the pickets 
and was not informed of their
activity.
A sign carried by one teen-age
girl questioned the President's interest 
in civil rights matters. It
read
Lincoln—Emancipation

Ike—Civil Rights???"
The students demonstrated Saturday 
outside the Augusta National 
Golf Club after conducting sitin 
demonstrations late Friday at
three downtown variety stores. Two
of the stores closed, their lunch
counters and a third refused to
serve the Negroes.

City Commissioners,

as the libraries themselves.
The Negro attorneys insists that
the orginal cse not be dismissed
until complete desegregation is
achieved at the city libraries.

FLOATING MESSAGES
Though some
might cast bread upon the waters,
the Rev. Jewel Pierce believes in
tossing a bottle now and then.
"The bottle and water preacher"
of Piedmont is known in at least
29 states an deight foreign countries. 

His contact with the world is
by means of scripture which he
heals in bottles and drops into the
Coosa River.

NO FREE SPEECH FOR HIM —
Medgar Evers, NAACP field secretary 
for Mississippi, has been sentenced 
to 30 days in jail and fined
$100 for calling the unwarranted
conviction of a Negro farmer a
"mockery of judicial justice."
NAACP Executive Secretary Roy
Wilkins vowed this week that the
Association will fight this case to
the "highest count, if necessary, to
see that justice is done."

Know Your Library
CONFIDENTIALLY, TEENAGERS 
. . . Do you get up in the
morning with a song in your heart?
Do you like to remember the tapes
when you were younger and used
to dash into the living room early
Christmas morning to see what
awaited you?
Have you ever remembered a date
—particularly with THAT boy or
girl — which seemed out of this
world? Do you remember . . .
What a marvelous thing it is to
be able to remember, to be able to
recall the pleasant experiences in
your life. Does it surprise you to
discover how much clearer you remember 
the happy times and the
pleasant relationships than the unfortunate 
incidents that were all
a part of the picture? As you look
back across the years, the good
things often far outweigh the bad,
though at the moment this may
seldom seem to be true.
In spite of the many problems
you are apt to encounter life is still
worth, living to the fullest. You will
find this book re-emphasizing such
an idea.
Through these pages you will see
many of the common problems
that young people often face in
modern life. But simply to list the
problems of life would hardly encourage 
you to do anything about
them in your own case. Neither
do you really want chapters filled
with easy-do advice and suggestions 
that presume that you are not
intelligent, enough to think for
yourself.
You will find many, down-toearth
tips in this book however that can
help you short-cut some of the
useless pain and struggle, in growing 
up. The real-life girls and boys
who are described in this book were
not drastically unusual teens. They
were bery much like you especially
in their hopes and ambitions attitudes 
and reactions behavior and
personalities Their good traits you

Efforts To End New Orleans
Lawlessness Reign Promised
The
combatants in New Orleans' grim
five-cornered struggle over integration 
Saturday planned new
strategy for the fourth round of
the fight.
The five principles in the battle
have become the police, the legislature, 
the federal courts, the
heckled.
New Orleans Police Chief Joseph 
I. Glarrusso, blasted by both
segregationist and integrationists,
promised at the end of the third
week of integrated classes that he
will "not tolerate open lawlessness." 

But he did not say how he hoped
to put an end to threatening telephone 
calls to parents who refuse
to take their white children out
of integrated William Frantz elementary 
School, or how he could
keep employers from firing the
parents because of harassment.
The Legislature, which for more
than a month has put up a wild
but futile fight against integration, 
meets Monday after nearly a
week's layoff and is expected to
have new legislation aimed at
thwarting the integration order of
a federal court.
The federal courts have thus far
fielded all but one of the Legislature's 
segregation laws. The one
that has not yet been taken to
court-and restrained - is one setting 
up grants-in-aid for persons
who want to-send their children to
private schools. The Legislature
figure it would hold up in court
because it provides that public
schools will be continued.
The Legislature may also consider 
new moves by irate segregationists 
to take Louisiana's 10
electoral votes away from Presi
dent-elect 
John Kennedy.
Gov. Jimmie Davis said Friday
night he would continue "a vigorous 
and legal denial of federal
authority" in the integration case.
He is expected this weekend to
call a new 30-day special session
to begin when the present
one runs out at the end of the
week.
Davis said in a statewide television 
speech that "virtually every
service offered by the state benefits 
the Negro population far
greater than our white population.
"If there is prejudice," Davis
said, "it is in favor of our colored 
citizens, and not against
whites."
The New Orleans police department 
was taken to task by the
Louisiana Association of Citizens
Councils for 'thwarting the school
mother pickets" who tried to keep
white children from going to William 
Frantz school with a lone
Negro girl.
And Mrs. Mary Sand, president
of Save Our Schools, an organization 
which helped run the blockade, 
called for better police protection. 
White parents have been
stoned, jolsted, and threatened,
and have had their tires slashed
and their windows broken.
"The police must not permit
lawless elements to run rampant"
she said:
Glarrusso said acts of vandalism 
were "committed under cover
of darkness," and said that a police 
officer cannot make an arrest
for a misdemeanor offense "unless 
it is committed in his presence." 

Police now guard the homes of
most of the white parents during
the night.
Attendance dropped to nine students 
at William Frantz Friday,
after reaching a high of 24 earlier
in the week.

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.
TWO DAYS after the primary 
the Herald ran a bitter 
front-page editorial attacking 
Dan Callahan for swinging
his support to Senator Alex S.
Simon in the November election. 

"We think," Keenan's editorial 
said, "that a man who
has been accused of trying to
bribe a judge should face criminal 
charges, and we believe the
District Attorney has an obligation 
to prefer them. We seem
to remember Callahan's having
talked in the same vein once.
Was it Just campaign oratory?
Or could it be that he hopes
Senator Simon, if he becomes
Governor Simon, will appoint
him to the United States Sen
ate?".
Calling a press conference as
soon as he had read the editorial, 
Callahan blasted back
with a hurriedly prepared statement: 

"Mr. Keenan can run his
paper, but he can't run me.
Even more to the point, it's
clear he can't run Senator Simon 
either. So the battle lines
are drawn. Is Mr. Keenan going 
to run this state or are the
people going to run it?
"Mr. Keenan has shown that
he doesn't know how to take deea 
graciously. I'm proud to be
able to say I do know how, and
at the forthcoming Democratic
party Harmony Dinner I intend
to prove it.
On HAND for the Democratic
party Harmony Dinner were
not only all Democratic candidates 
for state office but also all
who had lost in the primary.
Party officers and workers
made up the rest of the three
hundred people who were packed
into that part of the Bugleville
High School lunchroom roped
off for the serving of harmony
cocktail before the dinner began. 
In the main part of the
cafeteria, bus boys were still
setting tables: in another extravagant 
gesture to harmony,
the menu would include prime
ibs of beet.
Senator Alex S. Simon,
flankee on one side by his
pudgy factotum. Itchy Forst,
and on the other by Dan Callahan 
was talking with the local
county chairman who had organized 
the dinner. "Alex," the
chairman said, "from the way
you talked at the State Fair on
Labor Day, I thought we'd have
to get along without you tonight. 

"If the truth was known,
Shorty," Simon said, "back then
I wasn't so sure. I was going
to be the winner. But now that
I am. I'm a hundred per cent
for harmony. I've always made
it's rule to bury, the hatchet, as
long as I can bury it in the
other man's head. Nevertheless,
I continue to look forward to
the day when this gabfest with
the voters will be over. Although 
I love my constituents
with a love that passeth all
understanding — at feast it

passeth mine—I won't be sorry
to get back to my carpet slippers. 
The voters, can go their
way and I'll go mine."
Simon chortled. Then, suddenly, 
he shivered. "Is there a
draft in here? I guess not. Funny, 
I feel kind of shaky. I've
got the humbles, the bumbles,
and the fumbles."
Forst said apprehensively,
"You want to sit down a minute, 
Alex?"
"Hell, no, Itchy. I'm still blowout-proof 
for another twenty
thousand miles."
From the dais, long white
tables stretched into the lunchroom 
like strips of adhesive
tape. Eventually Artie Smith or
Bugleville, the master of ceremonies, 
introduced the Senator,
who seemed to rise to his applause 
with difficulty and
knocked over a glass of water
in covering the few feet that
separated him from the speaker's 
position. Once there, however, 
he grasped the lectern
with a dogged resolve and
grinned delightedly.
"well, well, well! Did anybody 
bring a pope? My thought
was, we could string the Republican 
Governor up right now and
save the taxpayers the expense
of his political funeral in November." 
He rubbed his hands
as he savored the laughter. "We
all remember how the Governor
got into office. He was minding
his own business being Lieutenant 
Governor, and then, one
day, he found that he was the
new Chief Executive because
the old one had headed for
Washington in a cloud of dust
to take a Federal job with tenyear 
tenure. I suppose we can't
blame the man who resigned
for wanting a little Republican
security in his old age, but it
was an unfortunate accident for
the citizenry which has had to
put up with his substitute for
the rest of the term."
Hands shaking, Simon poured
a glass of water. "However, it
isn't about politics that I want
to talk tonight. Anyhow, I don't
think I'm giving away trade
secrets when I tell you that a
Republican vote counts for as
much as a Democratic vote, so
as long as we've got to have
Republicans around, I'd just as
soon have them around on my
side. No, my good friends, tonight 
I'm not going to talk
about politics. I'm going to talk
about America."
Simon stared into space, furrowing 
memories. Almost a
minute passed, and the crowd
became restless and embarrassed. 
Forst whispered hoarsely,
"Alex, you okay?"
Startled, Simon nodded, as if
he no longer knew quite where
he was. "Oh, Itchy," he said
with pathos and urgency, "life
is a cycle of dimly remembered
joys. Bear with me, boys, bear
with me. I started out in a
stone shanty and I got to the
U.S. Senate. I've hewed a lot
of wood and carried a lot of
water, and I've seen history and
the country, gross, and it's been

a glorious glorious thing. And,
boys, oh, boys, I've personally
known three Presidents. I've
won a mouse-tail-biting contest,
I've voted for a declaration of
war. . . ."
Somebody at a rear table
snickered as the incoherent soliloquy 
went on:
"There isn't much of it I'd
change if I had the chance to
live it over, but oh, boys, boys,
for the chance to do it again!
Remember the days on the moss
by the riverbank and the girls
with their hair of gold? Remember 
the smells of haystacks
and clover and the flowers they
wore in that golden hair? Remember 
the seven-league boots
we wore when we went out to
conquer the world? Oh, boys,
boys, life is a cycle of dimly
remembered joys. Life is a
search for the other side of the
mountain, and you're never too
old for the struggle."
He swayed back and forth;
his wife, alarmed, pushed his
pill bottle toward him, but he
shook his head defiantly. The
audience watched him with,
nervous solemnity, and Forst
half-rose from his chair to
catch him if he fell. Then Simon 
threw out his arms in a
magnificent gesture of abandon: 

"Boys, life is a search for
America, and America's a dream
and a discovery, a land where
the frontiers are always open,
because, boys, the future has
no frontiers. Oh, it's a wonderful, 
wild and stirring trip to
take, and I've had more than
seventy years of it: I'm still a
wanderer and a searcher and I
still don't Know it all because
it's a big country with magic
names and magic places, a big
country of panoramas and sunsets 
and roads which never end,
and boys, boys, the frontiers are
always . . ." He let out a piercing 
cry of pain, clutched his
head, and fell forward over the
lectern.
Callahan reached the Senator 
first "Stand back!" he bellowed. 
To Forst he said, "Grab
his feet, Itchy. I'll get his shoulders. 
We'll take him, to that
lounge across the hall."
Followed by Simon's hysterical 
wife, they forqed their way
through the surging crowd to
the lounge where a doctor member 
of the audience joined them.
They placed Simon on a couch
and his wife weeping and on
her knees; leaned her head
against his.
Crusted lids had closed in the
time-lined face. Wing collar
twisted, black string tie curling
on the strapping bull chest,
railroader's timepiece dangling
on its long gold chain which lay
across the stately paunch, a
doughty old troubadour lay at
rest.
The doctor, shook his head as
he adjusted his stethoscope. To
Callahan and Forst he said,
"Keep everybody out. And have
them leave an aisle so that the
ambulance attendants can get
through."

to prefer them. We seem
to remember Callahan's having
talked in the same vein once.
Was it Just campaign oratory?
Or could it be that he hopes
Senator Simon, if he becomes
Governor Simon, will appoint
him to the United States Sen
ate?".
Calling a press conference as
soon as he had read the editorial, 
Callahan blasted back
with a hurriedly prepared statement: 

"Mr. Keenan can run his
paper, but he can't run me.
Even more to the point, it's
clear he can't run Senator Simon 
either. So the battle lines
are drawn. Is Mr. Keenan going 
to run this state or are the
people going to run it?
"Mr. Keenan has shown that
he doesn't know how to take deea 
graciously. I'm proud to be
able to say I do know how, and
at the forthcoming Democratic
party Harmony Dinner I intend
to prove it.
On HAND for the Democratic
party Harmony Dinner were
not only all Democratic candidates 
for state office but also all
who had lost in the primary.
Party officers and workers
made up the rest of the three
hundred people who were packed
into that part of the Bugleville
High School lunchroom roped
off for the serving of harmony
cocktail before the dinner began. 
In the main part of the
cafeteria, bus boys were still
setting tables: in another extravagant 
gesture to harmony,
the menu would include prime
ibs of beet.
Senator Alex S. Simon,
flankee on one side by his
pudgy factotum. Itchy Forst,
and on the other by Dan Callahan 
was talking with the local
county chairman who had organized 
the dinner. "Alex," the
chairman said, "from the way
you talked at the State Fair on
Labor Day, I thought we'd have
to get along without you tonight. 

"If the truth was known,
Shorty," Simon said, "back then
I wasn't so sure. I was going
to be the winner. But now that
I am. I'm a hundred per cent
for harmony. I've always made
it's rule to bury, the hatchet, as
long as I can bury it in the
other man's head. Nevertheless,
I continue to look forward to
the day when this gabfest with
the voters will be over. Although 
I love my constituents
with a love that passeth all
understanding — at feast it

passeth mine—I won't be sorry
to get back to my carpet slippers. 
The voters, can go their
way and I'll go mine."
Simon chortled. Then, suddenly, 
he shivered. "Is there a
draft in here? I guess not. Funny, 
I feel kind of shaky. I've
got the humbles, the bumbles,
and the fumbles."
Forst said apprehensively,
"You want to sit down a minute, 
Alex?"
"Hell, no, Itchy. I'm still blowout-proof 
for another twenty
thousand miles."
From the dais, long white
tables stretched into the lunchroom 
like strips of adhesive
tape. Eventually Artie Smith or
Bugleville, the master of ceremonies, 
introduced the Senator,
who seemed to rise to his applause 
with difficulty and
knocked over a glass of water
in covering the few feet that
separated him from the speaker's 
position. Once there, however, 
he grasped the lectern
with a dogged resolve and
grinned delightedly.
"well, well, well! Did anybody 
bring a pope? My thought
was, we could string the Republican 
Governor up right now and
save the taxpayers the expense
of his political funeral in November." 
He rubbed his hands
as he savored the laughter. "We
all remember how the Governor
got into office. He was minding
his own business being Lieutenant 
Governor, and then, one
day, he found that he was the
new Chief Executive because
the old one had headed for
Washington in a cloud of dust
to take a Federal job with tenyear 
tenure. I suppose we can't
blame the man who resigned
for wanting a little Republican
security in his old age, but it
was an unfortunate accident for
the citizenry which has had to
put up with his substitute for
the rest of the term."
Hands shaking, Simon poured
a glass of water. "However, it
isn't about politics that I want
to talk tonight. Anyhow, I don't
think I'm giving away trade
secrets when I tell you that a
Republican vote counts for as
much as a Democratic vote, so
as long as we've got to have
Republicans around, I'd just as
soon have them around on my
side. No, my good friends, tonight 
I'm not going to talk
about politics. I'm going to talk
about America."
Simon stared into space, furrowing 
memories. Almost a
minute passed, and the crowd
became restless and embarrassed. 
Forst whispered hoarsely,
"Alex, you okay?"
Startled, Simon nodded, as if
he no longer knew quite where
he was. "Oh, Itchy," he said
with pathos and urgency, "life
is a cycle of dimly remembered
joys. Bear with me, boys, bear
with me. I started out in a
stone shanty and I got to the
U.S. Senate. I've hewed a lot
of wood and carried a lot of
water, and I've seen history and
the country, gross, and it's been

a glorious glorious thing. And,
boys, oh, boys, I've personally
known three Presidents. I've
won a mouse-tail-biting contest,
I've voted for a declaration of
war. . . ."
Somebody at a rear table
snickered as the incoherent soliloquy 
went on:
"There isn't much of it I'd
change if I had the chance to
live it over, but oh, boys, boys,
for the chance to do it again!
Remember the days on the moss
by the riverbank and the girls
with their hair of gold? Remember 
the smells of haystacks
and clover and the flowers they
wore in that golden hair? Remember 
the seven-league boots
we wore when we went out to
conquer the world? Oh, boys,
boys, life is a cycle of dimly
remembered joys. Life is a
search for the other side of the
mountain, and you're never too
old for the struggle."
He swayed back and forth;
his wife, alarmed, pushed his
pill bottle toward him, but he
shook his head defiantly. The
audience watched him with,
nervous solemnity, and Forst
half-rose from his chair to
catch him if he fell. Then Simon 
threw out his arms in a
magnificent gesture of abandon: 

"Boys, life is a search for
America, and America's a dream
and a discovery, a land where
the frontiers are always open,
because, boys, the future has
no frontiers. Oh, it's a wonderful, 
wild and stirring trip to
take, and I've had more than
seventy years of it: I'm still a
wanderer and a searcher and I
still don't Know it all because
it's a big country with magic
names and magic places, a big
country of panoramas and sunsets 
and roads which never end,
and boys, boys, the frontiers are
always . . ." He let out a piercing 
cry of pain, clutched his
head, and fell forward over the
lectern.
Callahan reached the Senator 
first "Stand back!" he bellowed. 
To Forst he said, "Grab
his feet, Itchy. I'll get his shoulders. 
We'll take him, to that
lounge across the hall."
Followed by Simon's hysterical 
wife, they forqed their way
through the surging crowd to
the lounge where a doctor member 
of the audience joined them.
They placed Simon on a couch
and his wife weeping and on
her knees; leaned her head
against his.
Crusted lids had closed in the
time-lined face. Wing collar
twisted, black string tie curling
on the strapping bull chest,
railroader's timepiece dangling
on its long gold chain which lay
across the stately paunch, a
doughty old troubadour lay at
rest.
The doctor, shook his head as
he adjusted his stethoscope. To
Callahan and Forst he said,
"Keep everybody out. And have
them leave an aisle so that the
ambulance attendants can get
through."

You Asked It

ANSWER: Cranberries may be
frozen in the cellophane bag or
box in which they are purchased.
Simply place the unopened package 
of cranberries in your freezer.
Because they are dry, they will
be easy to separate later. When
you want to use them break off as
many as you need. No thawing
necessary before cooking.

ANSWER: Oysters, whether cooked 
in combination with other foods
or cooked alone, are not harmful
when consumed along with milk
I expect you are remembering the
Old Wives Tale about the combination 
of milk and oysters or milk
and fish being harmful. This is not
true. It has no basis in fact. If it
did, how could you enjoy oyster
stew? Oysters and milk both must
be carefully handled and properly
refrigerated but separately or in
combination they're good foods.

ANSWER: The only thing that
will help dad's worn tissues is a
daily diet which contains in suffiicent 
quality all of the nutrients
which the body needs. No one food
can do this, therefore, cherries cannot 
do so.
As older people become less ac
tive, 
they need the same variety of
foods as when they were more active, 
but in smaller amounts.
HINT TO THE WIVES: For holiday 
canapes or for stuffed celery,
combine creamed cottage cheese
with blue cheese to suit your
taste; then season with a bit of
finely chopped onion and a dash
of tobacco sauce and use for stuffing 
celery or as a spread for openfaced 
sandwiches or canapes.

SEEING and SAYING
By WILLIAM FOWLKES
World's Managing Editor
ATLANTA BUSINESSMAN J. E. JORDAN continues his perennial 
appeal to American Negroes to pool their dollars, literally
their pennies, and establish great and modern business enterprises. 
A successful businessman himself, Mr. Jordan has been
quite "itchy" through the years, trying to inspire and persuade
his people to help themselves with their own
businesses. He has been only partially successful, 
although the gems of his thinking-experience 
are pearls of the first magnificence. They
have been cast before many unappreciative,
non-discerning eyes.
MR. JORDAN is not alone in his exhortations 
to people of color to control a greater
part of their economy, the lifeblood of their
total living. There have been other prophets
and other disciples of the doctrine that we
must not only produce the raw materials, but master the marketing 
of them, their processing and distribution; the manufacturing
of the products desired and wanted by western civilization; the
handling of securities, stocks and bonds an insurance on a control 
level; an services themselves in the vast panorama of American 
enterprise. They contend, and reasonably so, that it can be
done with planning and concerted interest.
AT TIMES THE AMERICAN NEGRO literally finds himself at
odds with himself, because of the complexity of the civilization
in which he lives and into which he finds difficulty of emerging
as "first class." Many of those who have arrived at a point of
comparative security find it hard to to "sing in the same chorus"
with rabid segregationists and hate-peddlers, because the yearning 
and pushing of those who want a place in the sun seems
to be "possessed of a strange devil."
On the other hand, few Negroes have sought and been able
to leave their race and kind, because we are bound together
by God's mark and heart.
THUS, it is altogether fitting that Negroes learn to put together 
their pennies and operate businesses and industry, which
could automatically eliminate many of the ironies that beset us.
It is the prophecy of the sages that we must save ourselves
and, in so doing, save America and the civilized world. The
"meek" shall inherit the earth!

REAL ESTATE DIGEST
"Fear them not therefore: for
there is nothing covered, that
shall not be revealed; and hid,
that shall not be known."—St. Matthew 
10:26.
In discussing the qualifications
of Appraisers, it is necessary to
assume that they reach independent 
conclusions. Many so-called
appraisals are merely the confirmation 
of opinions of others. The
independent appraiser should possess 
the following qualifications:
1. His basic education in economics, 
constructions standards,
etc. should be supplemented by
specific appraisal study, preferably 
that required to merit the use
of the designation M. A. I.—member 
of the American Institute of
Real Estate Appraisers.
2. He should have the ability to
collect pertinent facts about the
job assigned to him, to analyze
their significance, and draw conclusions 
therefrom. One of the
compelling reasons for specific
training of appraisers is their
need to know what kinds of facts
to collect and what to do with
them after they are collected. By
themselves facts are useful or useless. 
Many so called hard-headed
business men abhor theory. Yet
the only reason for their success
is that they are good theorists. A
theory, if sound, is a generalization 
from facts. If it is unsound,
it is not good theory. Appraisers
need to be theorists: they need to
learn how to collect facts and to
draw proper generalizations from
them.
3. Judgment is a quality hard to
define, but the absence of it may
completely disqualify an appraiser.
It means the capacity to separate
the essential from the non-essential; 
to weigh, to compare, and to
place emphasis where it belongs.
4. Since there is no royal road
to a proper conclusion in any appraisal 
process, the path to be
followed requires persistent efforts
and meticulous care to make sure
that all facts are collected and
placed in their proper relationship.
5. The appraised must possess a
high degree of intellectual honesty.
Not only must he be honest in the
sense that he would not knowingly
cheat his employer. He must make
sure that he will not cheat himself 
out of a decision by failing to
observe all the rules with which he
is acquainted.
6. His background of experience
should give him familiarity with
the job to be done and confidence
in his ability to do it. Being a successful 
real estate salesman or a
successful builder will not necessarily 
make one a competent appraiser. 
But both real estate selling 
and building experience can be
very useful to the individual who
hopes to turn to the knowledge he
gains from these activities into
appraisal channels.
7. Knowledge of the neighborhood 
in which the property to be
appraised is located is a great
timesaver.
"Better is the poor that walketh 
in integrity, than he that is
perverse in his lips."—Prov. 19:1.
"Wherefore, if God so clothe the
grass of the field, which today is,
and tomorrow is cast into the oven,
shall he not much mpre clothe you,
O ye of little faith?—Matt. 6:30.
Anyone that is a real estate
broker, salesman, or layman may
help his ability in salesmanship
by reading and meditating on the
chapter on Aggressive Character
Traits, page 191, in the book "Understanding 
Human Nature." This
book is by the greater writer Alfred
Adler, New York Greenberg publisher. 

This book is an attempt to ac
quaint 
the general public with the
fundamentals of individual psychology. 

Please give your good attention
to "Anxiety," page 235.
The knowledge of this book
when applied will really help you
now.
In the small real estate office you
are the editor of the house organ.
You gather your material and
thoughts and put them into a large
or small pamphlet for mailing outside 
your firm. If it's printed your
printer can help you iron out most
of the technical details. He'll read
your copy and help smooth it up
with some penciled changes. He
probably won't rewrite your copy.
You write best in your own way.
So don't be afraid of your own
personal style of seeing things and
describing them. Large companies
often hire a special editor for a
house organ.
You find him as a part-time employee 
who often works also on a
regular newspaper. Or he can be
a publicity man who needs an extra
job to do.
The costs vary with the method
of production. If the publication is
run off by mimeograph in your
own office, the costs are very nominal 
for paper, ink, stencils, and
sometime's time to do it.
Stamps may not be necessary as
it can be distributed personally.
If the publication is to be printed
outside it will cost more. Involved
then is photography, commercial
printing, plate costs, writing, and
perhaps addressing and mailing.
Some printed house organs run as
low as one hundred dollars monthly. 
It is up to you to decide on the
amount you can spend.
"If thou canst believe, all things
are possible to him that believeth."
—St. Mark 9:23.

Installation Of T.
And I. Club Officers
The K. S. W. chapter at Booker 
T. Washington High School, of
The Trade And Industrial Clubs, of
Tennessee was formally organized
last. The officers were officially
installed Nov. 30, 1960. Mr. Charles
H. Ryans, an instructor in
Mechanical Drawing at Melrose
High School, did the honor. The
program took place in the Blair T.
Hunt Gumnasium. The introduction 
of the speaker was given by
Mr. Andre Williams, a Junior at
B. T. W. Mr. Ryans made a very
informative and down to earth address. 

The officers for the 1960-1961
term are as follows; Bobby LovettPresident, 
Alvin Robinson - Vice
President, Mary Holman - Secretary, 
Irene Robinson - Ass't Secretary, 
Charles McCarroll - Treasurer, 
Freddie Williams - Reporter
Ruby Hughes - Chaplain, Rochester 
Payne - Parliamentarian, and
Herbert Black - Sgt. at Arms.
The symbol of the club, K. S. W.
stands for Knowledge, Skill, and
wisdom. The objectives are as follows; 
(1) Leadership, (2) Scholarship, 
(3) Citizenship, (4) Craftmanship, 
(5) Fellowship, and (6)
Service. The purpose of the club
is to unite in one common bond all
persons enrolled in the Trade and
Industrial Program at Booker T.
Washington to achieve the objectives 
listed above.
The advisors for the club are
Mr. Otis F. Brown, and Mr. Fred
M. Jordan. The co-advisors are Mr.
Daniel W. Durr, Mr. William H.
Hunt, Mr. William B. Parker, Mr.
William R. Strong, Mr. Evertt K.
Thomson and Mrs. Myrtle M.
White.
At McDonough 19, the other integrated 
elementary school, a white
boycott was still total. Not one
white child showed up to attend
classes with three Negro girls.
The homes of at least three of
the parents sending their children
to Frantz have been heavily damaged 
despite police protection.
The New Orleans Citizens Council 
announce a mass meeting in
the municipal auditorium for next
Thursday night. At the fast such
meeting, prominent segregationists
urged an overflow crowd — mostly
teenagers—to fight integration with
"civil disobedience." The next day
thousands of persons ran wild in
the streets and police turned fire
hoses on them.
A man who refused to identify
himself said that the hecklers
have started "leaving us alone at
the schools and bothering us at
home."
Many persons reported constant
threatening calls, and federal authorities 
were investigating threatening 
letters.
The U. S. Justice Departments in
Washington Thursday branded the
state's new package of segregation
laws "plainly unconstitutional." It
asked the Supreme Court to hurry
its ruling on them so as to clear a
"cloud" from over the New Orleans 
School Board, which the laws
the high court is considering would
fire.

Chicagoan Gets
Vehicle Position
Mayor
Richard J. Daley Wednesday appointed 
James Y. Carter, 45, attorney, 
city public vehicle lincese
commissioner. Mr. Carter became
the first colored person to attain
so-called cabinet status in the
city government.
Mr. Carter will succeed the late
William P. Flynn as the $13,404 a
year license commissioner.
John D. Alsop is linked to political 
aims.
