Why Should Negroes Help The White Citizens Oppose The Charter? Sorely we sometimes lose sight of the forest for the trees. Some members of the Negro community oppose the Charter. The White Citizens Council quietly agrees, but for different reasons. They want to see the Legislative Council and School Board positions numbered. A defeat of the present Charter would provide them with the possibility of obtaining this in a new Charter. Such a result would clearly make it more difficult for a Negro to be elected to positions on the Council and on the School Board. Why then do Negroes work to defeat a Charter which offers so many good things for them as well as the white citizens? Surely, we recognize that election of members of a Council from small districts which are largely Negro or white is no good for either race. Our white friends are right when they say this would keep segregation alive as part of government. It also results in selecting people based on where they live rather than their ability to be good public servants. We should not want this any more than we should want a mayor without enough authority to do a good job. Careful study of the Charter shows that the mayor does not have too much power. Is there confusion of proper authority with feelings toward on individual? This is not a sound basis for a decision about a form of government. The ballot box is the place to answer such questions. In the meantime, why should Negroes help the White Citiezns Council oppose the Charter? Nothing Takes The Place Of Jobs The backbone of any community is a plentiful supply of good jobs for all citizens. Without jobs, growth of a community stops. Housing and the quality of schools go down hill. The best young people leave. A community becomes poorer and poorer in all of the things that make a happier and better life. Memphis and Shelby County are at the crossroads. One road leads down hill. We already have started on this road. Industries are leaving to find a better place in which to locate. New industries are looking and deciding to build their new plants elsewhere. Our confused, bickering, double governments and increasing tax rates are the reasons that they give for not wanting to build their plants here. Consolidation of the governments of Memphis and Shelby County provides another road to travel. It is a road good for all of our citizens. The Charter provides a simple, logical plan for new industries to get answers to their questions. The Tennessee Taxpayers' Association confirms that the elimination of duplicating and overlapping services will result in large savings and a more stabilized tax rate. These conditions will bring new manufacturing industries which will add to the present supply of jobs. To these also will be added the many new jobs of supporting services which always follow increased manufacturina. Typical examples are: grocery stores, clothing stores, garages, filling, stations, beauty parlors, etc. These will provide more new jobs which are badly needed by our young people as well as many of our older citizens. They then eon buy the food they need to feed their families properly. They can have the kind of homes where their families will be happy, and the money to educate their children. The key to all this is more jobs. Nothing takes the place of jobs which consolidation will bring. BLUFF CITY SOCIETY Shaw and Mrs. Corine Whitaker. Mrs. Elizabeth Rowan, Mrs. Dorothy.

Mr. James Hulbert, a native of Memphis and son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Alex Hulbert (he a prominent contractor here for many years) came to Memphis last week for a visit with relatives and friends in Decca, Capital of East Pakistan (a city, of more than 400,000 mostly Mohammedans... and still a partial Hindu civilization who live on the Bay of Bengal. Mr. Hulbert came to America from Asia partially by ship and by plane. His first stop was Beirut, Lebanon, where his two college age daughters are at the University of Beirut. He shipped in several cities on the Mediterranean .... on to Paris and London before arriving in New York City where he formerly lived and where he once taught as an assistant in the School of Library. Science at Columbia University His next stop was in Washington, D. C. with his only sister...... On to Detroit and then to Chicago where he attended high school during childhood. In Memphis Mr. Hubert was the house guest of relatives, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Johnson and their sonin-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. C. Pope on Woodlawn. Much of his time was spent with other relatives Mr. Charles Stribling, Mrs. Ann Stribling, Mrs. Eunice Snell all who entertained in some way ... but two elaborate dinners (with guests asked in) were given by Mrs. Ann Stribling end her father-in-law, Mr. Charles Stribling, Sr. who asked in a few old friends who have known the visitor ... and they were Miss Jim Ella Cotton, the former Miss Alice Williams who has lived in Hawaii for the past 8 years ... her sister, Mrs. Eugenia Williams Danner, Mrs. Charles Slaughter, a relative, Mrs. Mary Stribling and "Your Columnist. Others attending were several of Mrs. Striblings' friends. Mrs. Erma Braxton and Mr. John Conyers. During the evening guests were all ears to hear (first hand) about customs in Pakistan and India ... learning quite a bit about Calcutta, Delhi and the countries of Burma, Ceylon, the Sudan, Nigeria, and Ghana (all given up by Britain) ... ... In fact we learned quite a bit of geography in the two evenings that the Striblings entertained at dinner. It is interesting to know that Mr. Hulbert finished Junior College at LeMoyne and received his undergraduate degree at Morehouse ...... His graduate work was done at Atlanta University (where he later became librarian) and at Columbia University. After leaving the states the Memphis born intellectual worked in France before going to Asia. He is a dedicated librarian and teaches a class in Library science at the University of Dacca. It is not every day that you are priviledged to discuss freely many subjects with a person whose experience and interests span the whole distance between East and West ...... Mr. Hulbert is such a person ...... and he has kept the common touch. He is gracious, humble and most understanding of everyone with whom he talks. Speaking of East Pakistan, Mr. Hulbert said "The people are miserably poor. We have huge population, but little industry. We have a few very rich, but multitudes of the very poor. Schools are poor with finances being the greatest obstacle to education. We have so much crime and our needs there are so great and so urgent in this Moslem County .... it would be hard for you to understand ...... But I've enjoyed working with these underprivileged people. Mr. Hulbert is with the United States Information Service and he operates libraries in East Pakistan, He also puts on exhibits .... Has charge of guest artists, and films that will pattern life after the American way. In addition he is in charge of the teletype that sends out news to local papers. The native Memphian (of whom we are all justly proud) took a plane Saturday morning from Memphis for Grambling College in Louisiana where he was asked to speak after he arrived here. He will go from there to Port Gibson to visit with some grand aunts and on to Atlanta (where he spent many years) for a week. His next stop will be Virginia College where he first served as librarian ... and on back to Washington and New York City. In New York he has been asked to speak at Columbia University. After leaving the states, his first stop will be London where he will study their library system .... and a second stop will be in Beruit. He plans to arrive in Decca December 5th. Among the large number of Memphians who took him out and extended courtesies were Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Twigg, Sr. with whom he had dinner and spent the evening ... Mr. Walter Guy, Jr., Mr. Robert Ratcliff all close friends of a long standing .... Dr. Hollis Price at LeMoyne, Mr. R. J. Roddy at Woodstock and Mr. L. B. Hobson at Manassas ...... Mrs. A. Nicholson and her sister, Mrs. A. McKissic on East McLemore. He inquired about many old friends, Among those he had previously planned to see were: The Hayes Brothers, Taylor and Thomas .... Mr. Maceo Walk Mr. Edwin Prater, Rev. Bob Mason, Mr. Matthew Thornton, Jr. Mr. and Mrs. Caffrey Bartholomew and Dr. and Mrs. W. O. Speight, Sr. .... But maybe the next time he said as much as I would like to see them. Of course he could tell us about Dr. Hugh Gloster (now teaching in Poland). Memphians can remember ....... and I can as a yongster remember Lewis Twigg, Hugh Gloster and Jimmy Hubbard as almost a trio during their college days. We've known a combination of sadness and excitement before. It was just that to see en old friend go so far away. Mr. Hulbert apparently had the same mixed emotions ... although he stilll loves Memphis and thinks that it is a beautiful place where he spent his happiest days ... he would not trade Asia and his position there for anything. The people of Memphis and Atlanta were also saddened two years ago over the passing of his charming wife whom he brought back to Walter Reed Hospital in the States.

Mr. James Hulbert, a native of Memphis and son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Alex Hulbert (he a prominent contractor here for many years) came to Memphis last week for a visit with relatives and friends in Decca, Capital of East Pakistan (a city, of more than 400,000 mostly Mohammedans... and still a partial Hindu civilization who live on the Bay of Bengal. Mr. Hulbert came to America from Asia partially by ship and by plane. His first stop was Beirut, Lebanon, where his two college age daughters are at the University of Beirut.

In fact we learned quite a bit of geography in the two evenings that the Striblings entertained at dinner. It is interesting to know that Mr. Hulbert finished Junior College at LeMoyne and received his undergraduate degree at Morehouse ...... His graduate work was done at Atlanta University (where he later became librarian) and at Columbia University. After leaving the states the Memphis born intellectual worked in France before going to Asia. He is a dedicated librarian and teaches a class in Library science at the University of Dacca.

Mr. Hulbert is such a person ...... and he has kept the common touch. He is gracious, humble and most understanding of everyone with whom he talks. Speaking of East Pakistan, Mr. Hulbert said "The people are miserably poor. We have huge population, but little industry. We have a few very rich, but multitudes of the very poor. Schools are poor with finances being the greatest obstacle to education. We have so much crime and our needs there are so great and so urgent in this Moslem County .... it would be hard for you to understand ......

Mr. Walter Guy, Jr., Mr. Robert Ratcliff all close friends of a long standing .... Dr. Hollis Price at LeMoyne, Mr. R. J. Roddy at Woodstock and Mr. L. B. Hobson at Manassas ...... Mrs. A. Nicholson and her sister, Mrs. A. McKissic on East McLemore. He inquired about many old friends, Among those he had previously planned to see were: The Hayes Brothers, Taylor and Thomas .... Mr. Maceo Walk Mr. Edwin Prater, Rev. Bob Mason, Mr. Matthew Thornton, Jr. Mr. and Mrs. Caffrey Bartholomew and Dr. and Mrs. W. O. Speight, Sr. ....

Memphians can remember ....... and I can as a yongster remember Lewis Twigg, Hugh Gloster and Jimmy Hubbard as almost a trio during their college days.

Mr. Hulbert apparently had the same mixed emotions ... although he stilll loves Memphis and thinks that it is a beautiful place where he spent his happiest days ... he would not trade Asia and his position there for anything. The people of Memphis and Atlanta were also saddened two years ago over the passing of his charming wife whom he brought back to Walter Reed Hospital in the States.

BLAIR T. HUNT, PASTOR, MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN CHUKH There are skinny people, plump people, fat people, all sorts of people. Some people are very lean. We call them skinny. We fear they are underfed. We wonder why they are so lean, so skinny, so bony. In the church we behold professing people of God, the King's sons daughters, end we wonder like the text, "Why are they so lean?" They are children of King Jesus. They have tasted and seen that the Lord is good. They have great spiritual privileges and opportunities. We wonder, "why are they so lean?" They are heirs and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. Their spiritual father is rich — but they look so lean and hungry. They have no joy, no gladness of heart. They seemingly don't know that within their souls there is a well of water springing up with life eternal They forget that God has prepared for them a banquet table. They are spiritually undernourished. They are lean. When we cease to love — love somebody — we become lean. Yes, we have got to love everybody — those people who are funny to us — all sorts and all conditions of people. Let us fatten our souls with love. When we cease to sympathize with fellow creatures we become spiritually lean. When we cease to give we become lean. We read, "Give and it shall be given unto you." You are lean, change your diet. Turn to the 55th chapter of Isaiah and find there a formula: "Lo, everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money tat that which is not bread?. Harken diligently unto me, and eat that which to food, aim let your soul delight itself in fatness." Now turn to the formula in the New Testament in the 6th chapter of the Gospel according to John, the words of Jesus, "Except ye eat the flesh of the Sou of man and drink His blood, ye have no life in you." Let us eat of the heavenly manna, leave out lanness, take on Jesus Christ and grow fat in the Lord. Some professed Christians are like the worst wife whose pantry is filled with food but who Is starving to death. There are spiritual blessings in God's great pantry. God's provi sions are adequate and sufficient to meet our demands. Let our soul delight themselves in the fatness thereof. "O taste and see that the Lord is good." Yes, we are children of the King, then why are we so lean from day to day? WHY ARE YOU SO LEAN? By REV. BLAIR T. HUNT, PASTOR, MISSISSIPPI BLVD.

GHANA-CHINA PACT A Peking radiocast monitored in Tokyo said Ghana and Communist China have signed an agreement on economic and technical cooperation. It isn't often that football offi cials, umpires, or any other sports officials come in for praise or a good word. We, too, at times have been critical of the work of various officials, but in a manager of being helpful if possible. As a whele, the work of the officials working the Prep League games has been exemplary. There have come to our desk several comments regarding so few officials working the games, or why the same officials or at least some of them work each night. Some time ago, the officials were required to take an examination. and some who had done a good Job as a football official missed our on the test. This was not only true in regards to the Pre-League, but in most of the football conference It was the same thing. The examination eliminated a large number of officials, and has put added responsibility on the various schools and conferences. It also has put on those certified to keep from being overworked. At any rate, local officials are doing a fine job.
