SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Year $5.00 — 6 Months $3.00 — 3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) The Nation's Top Negro Educators Issue Important Release In the trends of the time affecting so gravely our educational policy how under discussion, sixty Negro educators from fourteen states and the District of Columbia expressed their collective point of view with respect to the Supreme Court's decision of May 17th, 1954, declaring segregation in the public schools, unconstitutional. The two-day meeting, called by fifteen Negro educators and sponsored by the Phelps Stokes Fund, was held in Hot Springs, Arkansas, October 26-27. The statement of the educators began — "We welcome the decision of the Supreme Court and look upon it as another significant milestone in the Nation's quest for a democratic way of life and in the Negro's long struggle to become a first-class citizen. This is a part of an evolutionary process which has been going on in the South and the Nation for some time." The educators criticized sharply "The effort on the part of some leaders and school officials to Intimidate Negro teachers and other citizens under threat of loss of job if they express approval of the Court's decision and if segregation is not maintained is shortsighted, vindictive, and contrary to the fundamental sense of fair play of the American people." And speaking of Negroes themselves: "Negro educators should not and cannot afford to be a party to any plan designed to nullify the Court's decision." This release, coming as it does from a careful study of college presidents and executive specialists, carries with it the weight of those who are acquainted with the school problem. It has been theirs to study it throughput the years and they are to be commended for their findings and the stand they have taken. It has been our position all along that school people were the best authorities on school problems. The only times that educational systems have suffered were those occasions upon which politicians seized upon them to foster their political ambitions. This release means much for those educational projects in the Deep South, where occasional entries have been made by the politicians in search of footballs and expedient "whipping boys." Coffee Price Rises Unjustified The Federal Trade Commission has decided, in the interest of the public, to call a hearing December 14th on its charges against the New York Coffee Exchange. Meanwhile, the Senate Banking and Currency Committee is conducting an investigation of its own, and recently Senator J. Glenn Beall, Maryland Republican, said price increases in coffee have been unjustified. The Maryland Senator said Americans have been forced to pay almost a third of a billion dollars in increased coffee prices since January of this year. He said it was necessary, in order to protect the public interest, to have "remedial legislation" to prevent further manipulations in the coffee exchange. The Federal Trade Commission has charged that the New York Coffee and Sugar Exchange has "contributed to" 1954 coffee price increases by an "unlawful restrain" of trade. Despite the protestations of one Gustavo Lovo, Jr., President of the New York Coffee and Sugar Exchange, we believe the activities of the exchange should be regulated. It is also, obvious to us that estimates made this spring, by-coffee experts, that a shortage would develop later in the year, were unduly pessimistic and contributed to the sharp price rise of coffee this year. We hope Congress will enact the necassary legislation to protect the public. GOLDEN GLEAMS A fool may be known by six things: Anger, without cause; speech, without profit; change, without progress; putting trust in a stranger, and mistaking foes for friends. — Arabian Proverb MEALTIME MELODIES! BY GRACE WILLIAMS Someone has said that beauty is only skin deep. This bit of philposophy may be true, but we don't believe anyone will dispute the fact that what is under the skin has a lot to do with beauty. For example, just that right amount of muscles and fat can make for a beautiful body. Too Much, fat causes bulges in the wrong places and wrinkles where they shouldn't be. Too much fat prohibits graceful movements— causes one to be awkward which detracts from your beauty. So really now, is beauty only skin deep? Too much fat or overweight not only mars your beauty but it effects your health too. Insurance companies have found that obese or overweight people have a shorter life-span than people who have a normal weight. Everyone wants to live a long time and everyone wants to look his best while he enjoys a long life. So if you are overweight let's get to the beginning of the problem First of all, why are you over weight? The simple answer is that your take is more than your output. If you are to lose weight you must put out more energy than you take In. In other words, you must either work much harder or eat lees. It seems easier to continue your present activities and cutdown on the amount of food you eat. Since We know why you are overweight the next step is to see your doctor and let him determine how many pounds you should lose and how fast you should lose them. Must doctors advise losing 1 1-2 to 2 pounds a week. Your physician wil probably recommend a reducing diet. When you check this diet you'll find that it includes at least two servings of meat every day. Meat is a must in a reducing diet because it's our high protein food protein builds and repairs tissues. All good reducing diets contain at least two servings of green and yellow vegetables. Vegetables give us vitamins. We need them more than ever when reducing to insure good health while losing pounds. One serving of citrus fruits and one serving of another fruit should be eaten daily when reducing weight just as when you are on a normal diet. Eat one egg a day, two is better, Your diet needs some whole grain or enriched cereal. Without milk it is almost impossible to get the calcium you need. Well planned reduction diets j include a small amount of butter. The vitamin it supplies is one of the body's essentials. All good reducing diets include a substantial breakfast. A good hearty breakfast starts the reducer off with a —"bang" and gives that will power to stay on the diet. Many people starting on a diet become discouraged when they don't see any results the first week and perhaps the second week. Don't be discouraged, for lots of people it takes several weeks before the scales show rsults. The theory behind this is that when you start to reduce the fat leaves the tissues and is replaced by water. The water remains to the tissues and then leaves suddenly. Therefore, one day the scales may show that you haven't lost a pound and very suddenly the next day they will show that you, have lost three or four pounds. For encouragement, good reading and scientific facts about losing weight you should have a copy of Weight booklet "Down the Scale— Or, Up."

WINNER — Charles DeLane of the 11-A class won out in a sweeping victory in the heated battle for student Council vice-president over his six competitors, at the Manassas High School this week. Student Council vice-president automatically becomes president for the succeeding year unless disqualified by some act in violation to the Council Constitution. Election for 1954 was the most exciting since the organization of he Council on the Manassas campus. Other candidates in the race for he highest position, held by students on the campus were: Clarence Beasley, Claude Carter, Jas. Crawford, Jesse Jones, Leonard Martin and Clyde Stokes. In the primary election the candidates were eliminated to three by virtue of a tie for second place between Jesse Jones and James Crawford. DeLane took the lead in the beginning and held his own throughout the election. DeLane is an honor roll student and participates in a number of the school's activities. The Student Body will look forward to the leadership of Charles DeLane next year to suceed one of the best leaders the Council has ever had, Mose Lewis III. LETTERS TO THE Editor I should at this time like to express my thanks and that of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority for your wide coverage of our 23rd National Convention in New York City, August 16th to 20th. Your publication of our releases was responsible for the widespread awareness of the public to the convention. We realize that without your cooperation our convention would not have been the success it was and we want you to know that we appreciate it. Yours very sincerely, (Mrs.) Georgianna Werner Chairman Dear Editor: The school teacher like all others has been a target for criticism, just and unjust has been heaped upon their heads. We have a heroine within our midst and here is a hope that she will gut the support she is entitled to for the courage she showed by defying that stupid unconstitutional and out dated Jim Crow law.... "back seat on the vehicle of transportation" in this our "free world." Anyone who has enough self respect and a burning desire for the freedom guaranteed by the U. S. Federal. Constitution sickened by the attitude of the Southern backwardness on the race question. The crux of the total problem is ignorance and misunderstanding on the part of everyone concerned. The mystery of the whole situation s why an intelligent approach is made towards clarifying the problem. The South has nothing to gain by continuing its attitude, but new shame, seemingly the South is immune to shame or embarrassment when the Civil Rights of egroes is involved. of Megroes is involved. The course taken by Miss Rose is accept it and go to her aid and rescue. Will the "real leaders" or the organized groups, and classes go to her rescue? Mrs. Rote wanted to be an example that her school children could follow and she would be commended for that. Here is a hope than this fine lady will not be sacrificed as so marry have been here in Memphis. It is high time that the Negroes should stand upright like men and stop compromising, stop the sell out" It has Up to now been an empty sell out for those selling have received nothing for the sale, no, not even respect. The white people are sick of you coat-tailing them and they consider those who do as moral liars. Let's have a united effort to secure civil lights and justice. CHAS. H. FISHER, Southern Judge And Educator Honored A Southern judge and an educator were honored Sunday by the Catholic interracial Council of New York, Inc. Mrs. Gladys D. Wood, principal of the David D. Jones School in Greensboro, N. C., and Judge Collins J. Seitz, presiding officer of the Deaware Court of Chancery, receiving the 1954 James J. Hoey Award for interracial Justice of the Catholic organization. Mrs. Wood received the award for her work as an advocate of interracial justice before the local school board, and Judge Seitz was recognized for his court opinion against radial segregation in Delaware public schools. nurse Lady By ADELAIDE HUMPHRIES Cynthia told him she could be ready whenever it suited him. He must have phoned the clinic first and been told he could reach her at her apartment. She hoped Dr. Sellers had given that information. She wished she would stop thinking about him. She determined to put all thoughts of Dr. Walter Sellers out of her mind for the coming week end. She determined she would have a good time, a real vacation. And that remark of Roz's about her face freezing out all such good times kept coming back into her mind. Norman was complimentary, as usual, when he saw her. He said he had missed her like the very dickens. And he surely was glad his mother had had this inspiration. "Are you sure it was your mother's idea?" Cynthia asked. "I most certainly am. Mom is always thinking up something remarkable. She's a remarkable woman, as you shall see. And you'll love my dad—he's a grand guy." Cynthia liked the way he spoke about his family. You could feel the close ties, the deep affection. She asked if there were any other members of the family living at pleasant ridge. "Besides me, there's only my older brother," Norman returned. "Jim always had the wanderlust After he came out of the army, he went back to England for a couple of years. Married a nice English girl, and they're living in Canada now, where an uncle of Margie's has some mining interests. They have quite a family of their own Five kids to be exact; one pair o twins." "How nice!" All that he had said of his family sounded nice; substantial and good and real. Imagine having twins! Cynthia could not think of anything more thrilling happening to a woman. "They're a handful." Norman grinned. "And they sure have made Jim settle down. But we a come to that, eventually—especially if we're lucky enough to find a girl like Jim's Margie. Or one like you, Cynthia," he added. "Now, see here," Cynthia said, "don't get it into your head that I'm visiting your family as a possible candidate for in-law-ship. Let's put all that a for this week end, Norman. It would embarrass me. Your mother and dad will realize, if you don't, that it's much too soon for their son to have such ideas. And I really came because your mother said she had some ideas of her own about the clinic." "Oh, you did, did you?" His eyes, meeting hers, were teasing as though he doubted the full veracity of that. "Yes, I did." She had the grace to blush, because she had also accepted this invitation as a devious method of getting at Walt. They, had come to the place to turn off the main highway. It was just a dirt road that apparently led nowhere. Cynthia could understand why it would not be easy to find unless you knew about it. Then, as the road twisted and climbed, it suddenly came upon a full view of what must be Pleasantridge Farms. A. beautiful old colonial-type house sitting in a grove of trees, and surrounded by rolling fields and hillsides, with cattle grazing peacefully and a few horses nibbling, too at velvetgreen grass... Only, the lambs were missing! Cynthia thought. "It's lovel!" she could not keep from exclaiming. Yes, Roz's elegant was almost the word, with the freshly painted white rail fences, that enclosed the acreage, the white barns and utility buildings; the natural beauty of the surroundings that yet looked so well-groomed and tended, and the big white mansion that might have been clipped from an oldfashioned book with a Civil war romance for its theme. "It is nice, isn't it?" There was pride' in Norman's voice. "It's something to come home to, believe me. Another reason I'm glad to be working in Washington—I can come home every week end. Mom and Dad won't admit it, but there are times, with Jim and his family so far away, when they get lonely. "But come on, let's go in! I know they're waiting to make you welcome, Cynthia." He opened the door of the car, came around to her side. His eyes looked into hers wearing that intimate, disturbing look. "I promise to try to be good. Try not to embarrass you, my sweet. I want your first visit, like all those to come after it, to be a happy experience at Pleasantridge." He spoke as though he were certain that many more visits would follow this first one. But she did not have the heart to rebuke him, not when he looked at her with his heart in his eyes. It was a pleasant week end. In fact, Cynthia could not remember when she hail had such an enjoyable time—certainly not in a long, long while. It was wonderful to be in the country, to take, long walks with Norman, exploring the woods and fields. Spring was in evidence everywhere, tiny wild flowers pushing bravely up through mated leaves, birds building nests and caroling joyously to one another, bushes and trees bursting forth in a haze of delicate greens. The dogwood trees were in flower and they lent an air of enchantment; pink crab-apple blossoms added a contrast in color; squirrels—and once, a family of tiny cottontails —scurried about their affairs. It was a beautiful world. "It's what I meant about always hanging on to hope," Norman remarked,, when Cynthia blissfully sighed about all this beauty. "How could anyone give up, when nature never does? Or lose faith when it's renewed, right before your eyes, every spring?" When they were alone, he could not keep that certain look from his eyes. But he had kept his word and behaved exceptionally well. As Norman had predicted, Cynthia had fallen in love with his father. Edward Brandt was the sort of man you felt, after a few minutes, you had known all your life. He had so much warmth in his personality that some of it seeped through into yours. He was Somewhat stocky, with^ gray hair and heavy gray eyebrows, and his blue eyes seemed always to be smiling, as though he held the key to some delightful secret. "Your dad is wonderful," Cynthia told Norman. "You were right—I've fallen in love with him." "I might have known." Norman gave his rueful grin. "Dad always beats my time. And he's taken to you, too. In fact I imagine he's already decided you are exactly what he would order for a daughter. Cynthia laughed, but she felt very highly complimented. She thought that Norman Look after his father, more than his mother. She liked Elizabeth Brandt; yet she was not a woman one could get to know intimately in a short while. She was so regal, for one thing. Her face was as smooth and unlined as a girl's; her figure as trim. She was tall and carried herself so well that that alone gave her a queenly, air. She was lovely to Cynthia, too, but the young nurse felt certain reservations. Norman's father might be won over completely, satisfied that since Cynthia was young and pretty and natural, she would be right for his son. Not so with Norman's mother. The girl her son chose must be exceptional —youth and attractiveness, even a lively mind, would not suffice. She must hold deeper qualifications. But hold on, Cynthia warned herself, when she found such thoughts confronting her. You are not here on trial. Or to be looked over and appraised as a possible addition to Pleasant ridge.
