On Crime Being A Challenge
Time Magazine, in a recent issue occasioned a flurry of
comment upon its carrying a full page feature on the Negro
Crime Rate. Among the things ventured. Time used what might
be called on appraisal of mayors in major northern cities of
the United States. It also advanced that an FBI study in 1956
shows that Negroes, who make up ten percent of the United
States population, accounted for 30 per cent arrests and 60 per
cent of the arrests in crimes involving violence or threat of bodily 
harm, murder, robbery and aggravated assault.
"Quite a few fair-minded ones, not tainted by the hatemania 
could go along with the statement of the article when
it suggests that the denial of full employment rights and other
citizenship rights over a period of years, has created tension
and resentments which break out in open violence against society. 
This might easily pose the major cause of this "too large
a proportion of the nation's crime" being attributed to Negroes.
But relaying the cause and the assignment of crime commission 
are not the answers to this open challenge to our society. 
Having, therefore, the diagnosis, the next step would be
proper resort to treatment and that panacea is partly in the
hands of those who lament most about Negro crime.
The version of "our side" would resolve around an off repeated 
statement of the southern journalist who passed from
the scene many years ago. He ventured that in most cases
where Negroes committed crime, the motive could be determined 
from lack of proper training, malnutrition, the failure
to give him an even break and lastly, the cause why he sometimes 
takes the law in his own hands, and whack it out with
a knife or some such weapon, was his suspicion of the type of
justice he would get in the courts.
But, as said previously, citations of causes beneath this
alarming proportion of crime assigned to Negro offenders are
not the answers.
It is not factual, that Negro leaders put pressure on politicians, 
city officials and newspapers to play down the subject
of Negro crime. It is not true that Negro leaders have entered
into a "conspiracy of concealment to hide the facts of Negro
participation in crime," while doing nothing about it themselves 
as alleged by time.
Yes, crime is an open challenge to our social and civic
orders; it menaces our security and our agencies for better relations; 
no arm of our activities would condone it in any form
and the checking of crime should be the motive of all friends
of good order and peaceful relations.
This newspaper has always been on the frontier of law;
it has used its influence in the checking of crime and shall continue 
at this post.
"All leaders on this fore should not let up in their efforts
against crime, which is all our fight.

Think On These Things
The slum clearance urge all over the country at least has
invited attention to the wretched living conditions of thousands
who by no stretch or dimension contributed to this their low
estate. Children,—innocent beings, who had no part in the selection 
of their parents, their environs or the low economic standards 
they inherited, have been woefully penalized and cramped, 
soul and body, in the hovels their parents' earning powers
afforded.
Many who dwell in luxury and complacent ease, doubtless,
are alarmed over where and how humans exist in less than
half-hour's drive from where they live.
The contention that slum characters would find another
slum when routed from their present slum is a myth that exploded 
in the record of good housekeeping and decent environs
noted in the new housing projects.
Not only the children rue undersold many of these adults,
forced to take up quarters, in time have been good housekeepers 
and home lovers. Some of them came up from the farms
where they not only had modern homes, but spacious lawns
where they nurtured flowers, shrubbery and grass just as many
city dwellers do. This has been demonstrated by some whose
good fortune afforded means for locating a home. Their rock
gardens, fish lakes and enclosures would further emphasize
"there is more in the man than in the land."
Man was not meant for slums; he should have opportunities 
and advantages enjoyed by others.
The settlements around Thomasville and Rockdale Park
communities, under discussion as outlets for the resettlement of
those who Will be affected in the Urban Renewal program will
perhaps be the new locale of many well deserving misplaced
people.
Now is the appropriate time for those interested in holding
on to some of our historic landmarks to get in on this ground
floor of redevelopment and do as others are doing, in getting
government funds to aid some of our people to be returned to
some of the areas where they now live after those areas are
redeveloped.
There would not be any point in wasting energies trying
to forestall something that inevitably will come. The point here
is, that we make the most of it.
A little organization and planning will put the ball to rolling. 

Think on these things. Our leadership in the financial business 
and professional fields should take steps and provide the
necessary initiative to implement the program of retaining as
much as possible of the land area we now occupy.

SEEING and SAYING
By WILLIAM A. FOWLKES
Managing Editor
Atlanta Daily World
THE UNDERPRIVILEGED peoples of the world-want our help!
You can detect that desire in all their conversation. You
can feel it in their speeches, no matter who is doing the talking
or what his status is at home. They recognize that Western Civilization 
and its industry hold the advantage in this age of machines 
and missiles, although they may disrespect its dearth of
love for Brotherhood of Man and Fatherhood of God. They
know that America has the know-how for producing 
goods, and crops superior than most
other nations on earth. Most of all they want
to be taught this know-haw In their homelands.

HOWEVER, the one thing that these people would grasp at
most of all would be America's clear-cut demonstration to the
colored populations of the Earth that America's own colored
people are taken at face value as equal human beings.
This is most important to them, according to the scores
and scores of black, yellow, red and brown leaders who visit
our shares.

THE KOREAN war should have demonstrated to the world
for all time that determined people-in great numbers often fight
to victory against those with superior weapons, the carnage of
human bring being almost a weapon unto itself against civilized 
people.

MY WEEKLY
SERMON
By
REV. BLAIR T. HUNT
PASTOR
MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN CHURCH
(SERMONETTE)
by
Rev. Blair T. Hunt, Pastor, Missisippi Blvd. Christian Church
Text. And they remembered his words. Luke 24:8
In a little volume titled "Beside The Bonnie Brier Bush"
there is a chapter titled "His Mother's Sermons."
It relates the life of a fine lad
of Scotland. His decision to become
a preacher made happy title heart
of his Christian mother. Before her
death she told her son "my laddie
when-ever you go into the pulpit
be sure to say a good word for
Jesus". This lad completed his
ministerial training. He was now
in his first charge, his old home

church. His heart was filled with
expectancy for him and his old
maid aunt with who in he made his
home.
For days this young preacher
labored on his first sermon. He
wanted it to show his scholarship,
his modern views. Having completed 
his scholarly manuscript, and
with great pride and even vanity

he read his sermon to his aunt. He
could See by the expressions of her
face that it did not please his
aunt. Then he cried out, "Auntie
what is wrong with my sermon?"
Hesitatingly and with deep humility 
she pressed his hand, she
said, "I don't want to criticize, but
remember my laddie your members
are a humble people they have
never been to college; they need
comfort; they need to understand;
their lives are filled with hardships 
and deprivations." She concluded 
by saying, "oh, laddie be
sure you say a good word for Jesus"
His aunt's words summoned to
his mind the words of his dying
saintly mother "when you enter
the pulpit be sure to say a good
word for Jesus," he tore up his
scholarly manuscript. And then
prepared a wholly different sermon,
a sermon that pictured the life of
Jesus. He told the story of Jesus
and his great love for little children, 
the story of Jesus comforting
the troubled, the breaved, the
heart-broken, and dying at cast a
stranger death on a Roman Cross
with a prayer of forgiveness for his
enemies on his swollen lips. And
that Sunday morning the people in
town's church house saw Jesus
were glad.
Let us say a good word for Jesus
say a good word for his church
which he puchased with his life
blood. Say a good word for the
Bible that tells of the life of Jesus.
Thre is so much in all people..
.. let us say good thinks about
people. Let us seek to see the
good in all things. Let us tell the
word about the good and not the
evil. For truly the Gospel is good
news and we are evangels of good
and not the evil.
"Be sure to say a good word
about Jesus."

Recipe of the Week


One of the foods that has really
zoomed to popularity in recent
year's is Spaghetti And Meat Basis
Everyone seems to love plump
juicy meatballs and tender spaghetti 
in a rich, spicy, tomato and
mushroom sauce. Of course, in a
highly-flavored dish like this, it's
especially imported to have a
really good recipe.
And that's just what my Pet
Evaporated Milk recipe for Spaghetti 
and Meat Balls is The sauce
has just the right, rich flavor, and
the meatballs are extra juicy and

tender because they're made with
Per Milk.
You see, Pet Milk holds the meat
and crumb mixture together, sealing 
in the good juices and helping
to give the meatballs a rich, allmeat 
flavor. For that reason you
get four generous servings from
only one poured of ground feat.
Ordinary milk wouldn't do it, of
course, but Pet Milk does because
it's concentrated to twice the richness 
of whole milk. Next time you
treat your family to Spaghetti and
Meat Balls, make them my Pet
Milk way I know you'll be pleased.
1 lb. ground lean beef
l-2 cup Pet Evaporated Milk
2-3 cup fresh bread crumbs
2 1-2 teaspoon salt
1-4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon hot fat
1 can tomato soup
4 oz. can mushroom stems and
pieces, undrained.
1-2 cup finely cut onion
1 clove gare finely cut
1 tablespoon Worcestershire
Sause
1-2 lb. Spaghetti
4 quarts boiling water
Mix well in a bowl the beef, milk,

crumbs, 1 teaspoon salt and 1-8
teaspoon pepper. With wet hands,
shape meat mixture lightly into
16 balls. Brown meat balls slowly
on all sides in the hot fat in a
skillet. Mix in a bowl the soup
mushrooms, onion, garlic. Worcestershire, 
1-2 teaspoon salt and 1-8
teaspoon pepper. Pour mixture around 
browned meat balls in skillet. 
Cover and cook over low heat
15 minutes. Meanwhile, cook spaghetti 
in boiling water and 2 tablespoons 
salt until tender. Serve hot
meat balls and sauce over the
drained hot cooked spaghetti with
grated Parmesan or Italian-style
cheese, if desired. Makes 4 servings.

PARENTS OF VAN DETTES FETE DETROIT MA-
TRONS WITH ELABORATE COCKTAIL PARTY —

Every seat was tilled, so
we had to stand in the back,
Frank Dance turned his head,
and seeing Kitsy, rose and motioned 
for her to take his seat,
and stood beside me.
Apparently Beam had already
told the bulk of his story. Now
Loyd Mack was going back over
his testimony, making him repeat 
the relevant parts.
"You stated you are a peddler
by profession," Mack said, "but
on this occasion you were in Vic
Toll's employ as a detective when
you visited Dillon's Park."
"That's right," Beam said. "I've
made trips to Dillon's Park every
spring and fail for years. I'm
well known there for that reason,
but if a stranger visited the park
the rustlers would have been on
their guard—"
"Objection." Judson Jumped up.
"No one in Dillon's Park has ever
been proved to be a rustler."
"Objection sustained," the
Judge said.
"I mean that if there was any
rustlers in the park." Beam said,
"a stranger would be more likely
to make them cautious, but they
wouldn't think anything about
me."
"You stayed with Bess Nordine?" 

"That's right."
"You were given free run of
the ranch?"
"Yes. Miss Nordine was riding
with her crew every day I was
there."
"Now, there is no question
about this hide you found on the
fence?"
Beam snorted. "I said awhile
ago there wasn't." He pointed
to a hide that hung over the railing 
in front of the jury. "That's
it. The first time. I saw it—the
Rafter 3 brand was there, all
right. I left the ranch after dark
and took the hide with me. When
I got to town, I gave it to the
sheriff. That was the first time
I knew the brand had been cut
out."
"You believe the accused cut
the brand out?"
Judson was up again. "Objection. 
That's opinion; it's not evidence." 

"Objection sustained," the
_judge said. "Phrase your ques
tions 
more carefully. Mr. Mack."
"Now then, you stated that
there Was a carcass in the meat
house that had been recently
butchered?"
"Yes. And we had fresh beefsteak 
every meal while I was
staying at Anchor."
"But you weren't able to verify
the brand by the earmarks?"
"No. I hunted all over the place
and I couldn't find the head."
"It is your opinion, then, that
the accused hid the head to prevent—" 

I heard grumbling from the
front of the room where Johnny
Strong and Luke Jordan and the
rest sat, but before the judge
could pound for order Judson was
on his feet, gesturing wildly in
Mack's direction. He shouted.
"Your honor, any boy reading law
to prepare himself to pass the
bar examination knows the difference 
between evidence and
opinion. We've had instance after
instance where the prosecution
has planted suspicion in the minds
of the jurors by this method. I
submit that this procedure is unethical, 
morally dishonest, and
points to the fact there is no
real evidence against the defendant. 
I move that this case be dismissed." 

"Motion denied." Brundage
looked at the jury. "You will
disregard anything the witness
says which is strictly a matter
of opinion."
Mack kept Beam on the stand
for another half hour, making
him repeat the same thing over
and over in different words. It
was so monotonous it was painful. 
Then I thought I understood.
Beam's testimony was all the
evidence the state had. In the
end It would be his word against
Bess', and against Frank's and
Gil's who butchered the steer.
A mighty slim case! It proved
what I had thought ail the time.
Vic Toll was confident he didn't
need evidence to convict Bess,
that the jury would be afraid to
bring back any verdict but guilty.
I studied the faces in the jury box
and I had a terrible feeling Toll
was right. There were twelve
uneasy men on that jury. All of
them from time to time glanced
at Toll.
Then Judson began cross-exmining 
Beam. "You testified

that you visited Dillon's Park
every spring and fall as a peddler. 
Did you always stay with
Bess Nordine when you were to
the park?"
"Yes," Beam answered. "When
her folks were alive, I stayed
with them. After they died, Bess
asked me to continue making her
ranch my headquarters whenever
I was there."
"You had been accepting her
hospitality for years," Judson
said. "You went there this time
with the express purpose of securing 
evidence to send her to
the penitentiary. What kind of
a man are you, Beam?" Judson
turned away, his face and voice
showing the magnificent contempt 
he had for SI Beam.
"That's all," he said, and returned 
to his table.
Loyd Mack howled his objection, 
but Judson had made his
point. Beam was a small man, but
now he was less than half the
size be had been a few seconds
before.
Gil was the next witness. He
was sworn in and sat down, I
didn't have the slightest idea why
Mack had called him. I didn't
think Gil did, either. He'd look
at Bess and then at Mack, squinting 
against the late afternoon
sunlight coming through a west
window. Even where I stood in
the back of the room, I could
see the sweat running down the
sides of his face.
"It is my understanding, Mr.
Munro," Mack said, "that Rafter
3 cattle have wintered in Dillon's
Park for years up until last winter. 
Is that correct?"
"Yes."
"According to my information,
there was a meeting of the Dillon's 
Park Cattlemen's Association 
in the schoolhouse during
the winter. This meeting was
called to discuss plans for keeping 
Rafter 3 cattle out of the
park. Is that correct?"
Gil swallowed, and glanced at
Bess. "That's right," he said.
"Now, Mr. Munro," Mack said,
"will you tell us what you said
at that meeting?"

SATCHEL PAIGE
A MERE 49, IN
TRAFFIC REPORT
Is the ageless 
Leroy (Satchel) Paige of the
Miami Marlins pitching staff actually 
a mere youth of 49?
Baseball fans have been trying
for years to establish the ancient
Negro Mate's true age without
success.
Records of Miami's Metro Court,
where Paige was found guilty today 
of driving without and operator's 
license, show Satchel was
bron August 27, 1903.
If true this would make Paige
a few months shy of the halfcentury 
mark.
Sentencing of the elderly mound
ace was postponed until October 1,
at which time Paige is to report
in court with a proper driver's license.
