The Old Year Comes To A Close While the end of a year might be seasons and conditions, there is never-the-less the psychic impulse that something has ended and along with it the imaginary zero point where one may begin again. It is well that such periods come in our lives and accounts. There is the imagination that mistakes may be corrected, the determination to pursue a different policy toward better and more fruitful ends and a renewed courage of more intense vigor to take off again. We come to the close of a great year; a year in which much of our history will get its trend. This year might go down in history as the Eisenhower year; the year in which a great General was discovered and induced to come to the fore from a brilliant military career into the troubled breach of a civil career which might determine the course of the world for the next century. Looking backward, we sum up the days of our years; those important days and eras in human history in which great events upset precedents and established trends. We come to the present noting the many once important procedures and facilities, now obsolete, notwithstanding the importance of the achievements made by them in their time. A changing world has seen many trends and objectives. These have brought forth upon the land changed thinking as well as the emphasis of changed relationships. It is encouraging to note that the year chalks up many gains in the realm of brotherhood and those motives on the part of the fortunate and powerful that inquire into the condition of the forgotten and the denied in our social and industrial stratas. The realization that we are all "the sons of one father" and that justice denied some means the loss of it for all, is every day becoming evident. There have been those all through the history of this free America who aped and propogated the prejudices popular to their era, regardless to their unsoundness. We have seen in a changing era the direct descendants of some of these men in question, rise to the level of devout liberalism in the agenda of better relationship. This year has marked many tolerant advances in our courts and there is the promise as we pass along of better and more fruitful days. The year closes our old frazzled books; we can soon make a dividing line between our disappointments and our failures to the end of making those corrections that will enable us to go on to better days. We will soon open a new book; a volumn of hope, in which we are hopeful that the great unseen hand will write upon its golden pages a great chapter of brotherhood and the stride of a nation toward the goal of the full realization of a Democracy that really works. "Ring out the old year and let him die." The Crux Of The Matter The United States Supreme Court has just completed hearings on the question of segregation in education. Specifically, the court was asked to rule on two questions which grew out of five lawsuits which would affect segregation in 17 states and the District of Columbia: (1) Whether separate schools for white and Negro children contravene the 14th Amendment of the constitution and are therefore unconstitutional, and (2) Whether government-imposed racial segregation is in itself unconstitutional. On both questions, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people contends that anything short of abolishing segregation in education is in violation of the constitution. The NAACP, headed by special counsel Thurgood Marshall, is no longer concerned with the question of separate but equal facilities of Negroes and whites. Its arguments before the Supreme Court in each case centered upon attacking the long-established "separate but equal" doctrine. Since 1896, the Supreme Court has held that separation of races is constitutional, provided that facilities are equal. The nation's highest tribunal has been asked to reverse that rule and abolish segregation in all forms. The South, long guilty of laxity in not putting forth much of an effort to make the "separate but equal doctrine" workable, is now faced with the possibility of a momentous decision by the Supreme Court that may emphasize its neglect of its minority citizens. The crux of the South's argument in defense of attacks on segregation is that only states and congress have the power to abolish segregation. The Sooth argues that it is not within the jurisdiction of the courts to wipe out segregation. We think that in light of the South's record of handling; minorities it is certainly within the jurisdiction of the courts and we hope that the U. S. Supreme Court will act with courage in meeting this school issue. CAPITAL SPOTLIGHT If colored Republican leaders don't get together and decide: (1) who shall compose a committee to talk "turkey" to President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower and Attorney-General-designate Herbert Brownell, the top patronage distributor, and (2) who shall act as spokesman for the group, all the plums worth having will be gone. Already all the Cabinet posts and a number of "Litte Cabinet" jobs, including the Secretaryships of the Army, Navy and Air Force and several Assistant-Secretaryships in the Treasury and Commerce Departments, have been filled. Brownell knows the leading colored Republicans because he has been chairman of the Republican National Committee and, as campaign manager for Governor Thomas E. Dewey in his two unsuccessful bids for the Presidency, he has dealt with most of them in rounding up Dewey delegates and getting Taft delegates to switch to Dewey Brownell could take the initiative in consulting with them about the type of appointments Eisenhowershould give his colored cohorts, or, if he prefers, he could consult with. Judge Francis E. Rivers of the New York City Court. After all, any qualified colored Republican selected for appointment would have to be cleared by the Republican senators or the National Committeeman of his State. If there are any doubts about the kind of jobs for which qualified colored persons should be considered, here are a few suggestions Browneil and his advisers might, start the New Year with: The No. 1 post would be Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern, South Asian and African affairs, the post which President Truman offered Ralph Bunche and which Bunche turned down for financial reasons as well as race discrimination and segregation in Washington. The Rev. Archie Carey, Chicago minister, has all the necessary qualifications. The Bureau of Near Eastern, South Asian and African Affairs covers the Near East, South Asia and Africa, including Greece, Turkey, Iran, the Arab States, Israel, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Ceylon Napal and all of Africa, except Algeria, which is part of metropolitan France, and the Union of South Africa, which is administered by the European Affairs Bureau. Madagascars is a French possession and is handled also by the European Division. Africa has only three independent countries. One of them, Egypt, is considered a part of the Near East As a consequence, Africa itself has only two embassies—one in Liberia and the other in Ethiopia. John W. Davis, ex-president of West Virginia State College, who is now administering the technical assistance (Point 4) program in. Liberia, would like to suceed Ed Dudley as Ambassador to Liberia, and Chester K. Gillespie, Cleveland lawyer, would accept a diplomatic post, although he would prefer being one of the eight Assistant Attorneys General. American interests in Africa have increased greatly as a result of increased dependence on Africa for certain raw materials that the United States used to get elsewhere —in the Far East—and which are no longer available there. Frinstance, chrome. The United States gets about a third of its chrome, much of its manganese, and uranium, which is of vital importance, from Africa RING OUT THE FALSE RING IN THE TRUE!

ELGIN BOY'S BICYCLE 28 Inches REVIEWING THE NEWS By WILLIAM GORDON Managing Editor, Atlanta Dally World, On Leave It was during the middle thirties when Haile Selassie warned the world that if Italian aggression would be allowed to continue in Ethiopia war would be inevitable. It was also during this period when Hitler's army was goose-stepping along the Rhine in preparation for an all-out drive against the world democracies.. Meanwhile, Mussolini was beating his chest along the Italian border in support of Hitler's ideology. In other words, dictatorship was on the march and the world seemed little concerned about the progress it was making at the time. Warning from a black emperor was too insignificant to give much thought, even though many of us knew that civilization was moving closer and closer toward the brink of disaster. We know the rest of the story. We became engaged in one of the worst wars in history. There is no telling what would have been the case if we had used methods and tactics to avoid this disaster. Warning from the emperor of Ethiopia, some believe, even today, would have been very valuable in helping to save lives and property. The situation in South and East Africa today as well as in Tunisia are vital spots for the western, nations to be concerned with. They should not be concerned with the idea of spreading white supremacy or colonialism, but more with the purpose of such. Today, Communism is on the march in the same manner as Nazism and Fascism were during the middle thirties. The two ideologies are very similar in that both are bent on destroying the most valuable instrument ever granted to human beings, the instrument of freedom. This instrument is being asked for by the natives of Africa and small nations all over the world today. At no other time in history have nations and peoples been so bent on maintaining or acquiring this most priceless heritage. The world is being warned that if such freedom is not granted these people who crave it, we may expect disaster in its worst order. We have reason to believe that this warning is a sound one. When we look at the situation in light of logic, they are asking for no more than what we have been preaching and teaching in the free world. They are merely calling our hand in some respects and asking that we now begin to live up to what we have been advocating. This of course, should not be difficult to do. To grant, some of these people their freedom and respect would be far less costly than trying to support a war through an effort to maintain colonialism or white supremacy, when we have all reasons to verify that the whole concept is merely a myth. With an enemy on the march, which cares not for liberty or human decency, it would be to the west's advantage to accord the people of South Africa and other parts of the world such freedom as is maintained in our western civilization. On the one hand, we might be working honestly to prove what we have advocated as a doctrine of human decency and responsibility. On the other hand, we may be working to save the lives of millions of innocent people, who most of all, crave only the simple things of life and who want to live to enjoy them. We failed to take advice from Haile Selassie during the middle thirties. We finally encountered disaster. Let's not repeat the same thing through ignorance, prejudice and pride.

THE WORLD HEALTH FORUM By DR. A. E. HORNE Tonsils and adenoids are normal tissues in the respiratory tract. Tonsils are found in the throat and adenoids are out of sight in the roof of the nose. These tissues perform a useful function in normal life for they serve to guard against infection in the respiratory tract, which includes bronchial tubes and lungs, and guard against infection in the intestinal tract as well. Another function, is the formation of some of the white blood cells whose function is a first line of defense against general body infections. Because tonsils and adenoids are exposed to all kinds and types of bacteria they frequently become infected resulting in a great deal of trouble for the individual. Children being more frequently affected than adults. Tonsils and adenoids increase in size under normal conditions and reach their maximum size at three to five years of age then begin to shrink slowly until adulthood. The problem most frequently encounter concerning tonsils and adenoids is an anxious mother wanting to know whether the child's tonsil are bad enough to come out and if so whether the child is old enough for them to be taken out. This question is best answered in the following manner. Tonsils and adenoids can be removed at any age, for age is not the main factor to be considered. Indications for removal of adenoids at any age are obstruction to the nose resulting in mouth breathing, difficulty in swallowing and drinking, chest deformity caused by difficult breathing, restlessness at night with snoring and loss of sleep resulting in nervousness, poor, appetite and malnutrition. Other equally important reasons are repeated infections of the nose and throat. In general the same is true, of tonsils because very, often the tonsil is the source of chronic infections, tonsilar abscess, difficult and painful swallowing, Chronically infected tonsils may be the forerunners of such devasating diseases as rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease, kidney diseases and scarlet fever. Because tonsils and adenoids are easily acessible are great sources of chronic infections. No child or adult should wait for any age limit to be set. Many children suffer damage beyond repair because of setting an age limit such as three to four years of age. Dr. Home will answer questions relating to health and hygiene in this column and by mail. He will not make diagnosis or prescribe for individuals. Inclose, stamped self addressed envelope to: A. E. Home, M. D.

By GRACE WATSON As the church bells ring out the Old Year and peal in the New, they bring to the heart a mixed feeling of regret and rejoicing. There's regret for time passing, so quickly with projects left undone, and rejoicing for the gifts of life and the happiness that is ours to share in the years ahead. Let's be real neighbors in 1953! A large house is not necessary for a traditional New Year's Eve Open house. In your apartment home, begin the new year by having folks in to share your table after the midnight Church service. Half the fun of having guests is the planning and fixing of the festive table which will grace one end of your living room. Let it be a table that requires few last minute touches. One that you can do early so that there'll be no need to miss service. For this informal party my choice would be a solid color deep rich green table cloth. If you don't have a dinette table, use your breakfast table or two sturdy card tables. For a center piece, I'd suggest using large and small rose bowls filled with brightly colored Christmas tree balls with gay string-type confetti overflowing festively on to the table. Two large white candles flank the arrangement, providing flickering lights to be reflected in shimmering color on the bright Christmas tree balls. Another simple and attractive idea for a centerpiece is to blow up various colored balloons and tie the ends together; place on table and weight down. Run colored streamers, from balloons to each large dish or down the length of the table. Much of the food can be made ready for service early. Here's an opportunity to feature your favorite cookies. Miniature fruit cakes can be made many days ahead and, of course, they are perfect companions for the egg nog which is the star performer on your open house menu. You may also serve dainty open face sandwiches made of minced ham and turkey—(that, should be the last of your Christmas leftovers.) Complete the menu with, nuts and mints. Each platter of food that graces your table Should be arranged artistically, trimmed with a bit of holly, and set in its proper place on the table before leaving for church. At one end of the table we'll place a serving tray with punch cups, leaving space for a large egg nog bowl. At the opposite end, the tray for the coffee service is arranged with everything but the coffee-filled server and cream pitcher. Since our table is small, let's place the dessert plates and napkins on a small side table near our party table. Now that everything is in place—except the egg nog and bowl which is keeping cold in the refrigerator—let's stand- back and survey the arrangement with a critical eye for balance arid color. A touch here and there and the table is approved and covered with a protective tablecloth until after the church service. While you're gone the egg nog and bowl is chilling in the refrigerator. You may freshen it by adding beaten egg and freshly grated nutmeg to the egg nog which you bought ready to serve from your local dairy. Just before serving, give it a good beating with the electric or rotary beater to fluff it. And now it is midnight. The beautiful church service is over and there is a cheery pause to wish everyone a happy new year. Then you dash home, light up the house, start the coffee, remove the cloth from the table, light the candles and fill the cream pitcher. The egg nog is brought forth and the party is underway. The guests arrive. The whole apartment abounds with friendliness and warmth. It is fun, being good neighbors in 1953! MY WEEKLY SERMON By REV. BLAIR T. HUNT, PASTOR It is December 31st.

It is as moving to a land of beginning again . . . for in the garbage cans of 1952 I have dumped all my old heartaches . . . all my selfish griefs . . . my impatience my hotly cutting words. It is as when I was a lad in school years ago. We used copy books in learning to write. At the top of each page was a perfect printed copy of what we were to write. But my writing . . . my letters did not closely resemble the perfect copy at the top of the pages. I made so many errors . . . so many blurs . . . an ink spot here . . . thumb prints marred the once spotless white page. That dear teacher at old LeMoyne Institute on Orleans St., would gently chide me and as she turned to the next page, she would say, "here is a brand new page . . . do better next time. So, in this brand new house, number 1953 on Time Boulevard, I must do better 4 be a better house keeper. It is a bigger house ... a brighter house . . . a better house . . . yet I do not know . . . I cannot tell what joys . . . what sorrows . . . will attend me there . . . "I only know I cannot drift beyond God care "Deut 31:8. On January 1st, in the tenemen at 1952 Time Boulevard, in which we were to ilve for 366 days, everything was spic and span . . . clean . . . unspotted . . . unblemished. There was a picture of the Christ hanging in each room ... it was our model. Oh, how we marred those walls . . . left forgotten and dust-covered the pictures of Christ . . . those floors . . . those window-panes were neglected. We were poor house-keepers. We forgot to gaze daily at the picture of Christ, hanging on the wall of each room. But, now, as we move out, our gentle head-master simply chides us and we move into bur new tenement at 1953, he says to us in dulcet tunes: "Do better next time." On the walls of our tenement at number '53 will hang pictures of the Christ Upon these pictures I will gaze .... gaze so hard . . . so intently until, figuratively speaking, Christ will come out of the picture frames und really live in me. May we all enjoy happy companionship in our new house o time Boulevard . . . at number 1953 . . . with faith . . . hope ... and love May prayer and good works be twenty-four hour guests and companions in this brand new house, each day of the year. Moving day, January 1st, 1953, answers the wish of Louise Tarkington when she wrote: "I wish there were some wonderful place called the land of beginning again: Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches and all our poor, selfish grief, could be dropped like a shabby old coat at the door, and never put on again." "Behold, I have set before thee an open door." Rev. 3:8. IT IS MOVING DAY By REV. BLAIR T. HUNT, PASTOR It is December 31st. The clock in the steeple is about to strike twelve, midnight!

It is as when I was a lad in school years ago. We used copy books in learning to write. At the top of each page was a perfect printed copy of what we were to write. But my writing . . . my letters did not closely resemble the perfect copy at the top of the pages. I made so many errors . . . so many blurs . . . an ink spot here . . . thumb prints marred the once spotless white page. That dear teacher at old LeMoyne Institute on Orleans St., would gently chide me and as she turned to the next page, she would say, "here is a brand new page . . . do better next time. So, in this brand new house, number 1953 on Time Boulevard, I must do better 4 be a better house keeper. It is a bigger house ... a brighter house . . . a better house . . . yet I do not know . . . I cannot tell what joys . . . what sorrows . . . will attend me there . . . "I only know I cannot drift beyond God care "Deut 31:8. On January 1st, in the tenemen at 1952 Time Boulevard, in which we were to ilve for 366 days, everything was spic and span . . . clean . . . unspotted . . . unblemished. There was a picture of the Christ hanging in each room ... it was our model. Oh, how we marred those walls . . . left forgotten and dust-covered the pictures of Christ . . . those floors . . . those window-panes were neglected. We were poor house-keepers. We forgot to gaze daily at the picture of Christ, hanging on the wall of each room. But, now, as we move out, our gentle head-master simply chides us and we move into bur new tenement at 1953, he says to us in dulcet tunes: "Do better next time." On the walls of our tenement at number '53 will hang pictures of the Christ Upon these pictures I will gaze .... gaze so hard . . . so intently until, figuratively speaking, Christ will come out of the picture frames und really live in me. May we all enjoy happy companionship in our new house o time Boulevard . . . at number 1953 . . . with faith . . . hope ... and love May prayer and good works be twenty-four hour guests and companions in this brand new house, each day of the year. Moving day, January 1st, 1953, answers the wish of Louise Tarkington when she wrote: "I wish there were some wonderful place called the land of beginning again: Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches and all our poor, selfish grief, could be dropped like a shabby old coat at the door, and never put on again." "Behold, I have set before thee an open door." Rev. 3:8. Hospitalized In Japan While a patient at Tokyo Army Hospital in Japan, Private George E. Seay of Memphis, Tenn. is visited by Mrs. Mark.

EXPLANATION WANTED How did the nest egg get its reputation? It never does the hen any good.—Toronto Star. Tennessee State University who ended the season hot as fire after and early slump, can honestly be proud of its local recruits. For the tough Tigers, Memphis placed them with defensive and offensive weapons in the person of Oscar Bevors and Clay Stampley The brawny Beavers, a former Manassas star, gives State great security when he's guarding the inner defense from his linebackers position. Stampley who played four years at Washington represents the other half of that dynamic double barrell package. Stampley does nothing except the teams' place kicking. His accurate toe which propelled two field goals through the crossbars during the season doesn't really account for his most outstanding feat. When North Carolina College was edged by State, both teams tallied four touchdowns each, Stampley prove the difference when he converted after each of the four State markers. North Carolina counted after only two of its scores. Both boys are former all-Memphians while playing for their respective schools, Raymond House (B. T. W. is the third all Memphis prep leaguer on the roster. Raymond Hale small back from Washington, made the Kentucky State Thoroughbreds squad, but saw little action, gaining plenty of experience which no doubt will be a big help to the Thoroughbreds next fall. As a freshman, hard driving Charles Lomax was good enough to make Southern University's first team and souvenir program. Another all-Memphis product, the fearless guard was a building terror throughout the conference. Lomax was a four year letterman at Washington Emmitt Simon (Manassas) center and Eldridge Mitchell Melrose were also members of the powerful Jaguar Cats. John Kincaide is now one of Wiley College's chief running threats. The hurdling halfback had a fine year at the Texas institution Kin caide formerly packed the pigskin for Douglas Felix Mitchell a Washington graduate, saw the end zones dented with unbelievable consistency in a high scoring campaign, However, most of the scores were, racked up by the opposition as Bishop witnessed its worst year in the history of the Marshall, Texas College. Charles Evans one of the many former all-Memphis gridders now on collegiate rosters living up to their nominations, completed his second season in the S. I. A. C. Conference Evans ranked high with Xavier University Gold Rushers of New Orleans. The glue finger ed end was one of the principals cogs in the fortyniners machine. Marino Casern a teammate of Evans in high school at St. Augustine gained a place on the Catholic School's roster Lane College which had one of its most successful teams in recent years, was spearheaded by two local boys Manique Winters who starred at Hamilton, gained a berth on the S. I. A. C.'s second offensive backfield unit, while helping the Dragons march through its winning season. J. B. Clark a senior from Washington, proved to be a primed target for Winters aerials "Spooky Jones (Hamilton) back, also saw action for Lane Knoxville College which fielded a team that was dominant with freshmen, 'were in the, midst of a great rebuilding program. Rudolph Barbee and Everett Garrett, two lineman from Washington figures heavily in the upcoming Knoxville eleven Roy Pearson's sharp passing won him a quarterback understudy job at Jackson, Mississippi. So we now take time out to saluting the battle worn heroes who have with great pride, upheld the traditional high caliber of play exhibited in the local prep league Kentucky's Favorite Bond in distinguished Mansion Package STITZEL WELLER DISTILLERY, Louisville, Ky.
