We have seen them everywhere—in the North, South, East and West—in our crowded cities, our smallest villages—little tykes on crutches for whom the heart of the world, for many years, has been bleeding. Their pitiful halting steps, behind smiling faces, in their efforts to walk, walk, walk, made them the greatest heroes of all time and yet the odds have always been a hundred to one against them. Their bodies in most cases twisted, their legs emaciated and their iron braces sometimes hip high, only indicated that they were chained to a life of devastating illness and living death. Out of this holocaust of sadness was born our most modern miracle. Originally from the tenements of the East Side of New York, there appeared upon the scene at the University, of Pittsburgh, the son of a Jewish garment pressing father and a Jewish seamstress mother, who was ordained to become the conquerer of the most evil scourge afflicting mankind, poliomyelitis, Dr. Jonas E. Salk. It was not easy for him to work his way through medical college, but he made it. He set his mind and his heart upon the seemingly impossible task of developing a serum which would make the deadly polio virus impotent. The world now knows the glorious news, and the world pays tribute to Dr. Jonas E. Salk, the young Jewish-American scientist who gave his discovery to the suffering world without any intention of ever realizing a single penny of personal profit. There is still a lot of intolerance existing in our own beloved country which is very devastating to human decency. The next time you hear someone say, "I don't like the Jews," just tell him to take a look at one of these poor kids with their legs in iron braces, and then remind him of the glorious accomplishment of a young Jewish scientist which will give sunshine and laughter and joy to the children of the world for generations to come. Bless you, Doctor Salk. God must have been at your side constantly in your laboratory work, showing you the way. —Earl W. Jimerson and Patrick E. Gorman in THE BUTCHER WORKMAN. The Salk Vaccines Get Underway Almost simultaneously with the break of the announcement of the success of the Polio discovery serum by Dr. Salk, the flow of that precious fluid began leaving the manufacturers for the veins of the children. Such a swift move on the part of the state and counties in behalf of the children suggests that there will be no delay in the distribution of this vaccine in local areas in reach of all children regardless of race or color. It will be remembered that Polio knows no section or people; it preys upon whom it will and it is no uncommon thing to see the children of the wealthy on crutches and in braces just as the unfortunate in the back streets and alleys. It is currently reported that the vaccine has been dispatched to every county in the state and should the pace keep up, very soon Polio will find roosting places for its dreaded germ a premium. Let us hope that there will be neither partiality nor delay in reaching those on the danger front of this malady. The Salk vaccine will naturally be generalized in the routine practice of medicine. Drug stores will stock the vaccine and there Will be immediate studies suggested by it, as its possible use as a preventative of other diseases. In the meantime those who are already afflicted with the disease will come under the scrutiny and treatment of this the most interesting discovery of this century. Let's give a big hand to our men of science who on that front are winning victories for the health and happiness of mankind. A Congressman To Speak U. S. Representative Charles C. Diggs of (Detroit) Michigan is scheduled to be guest speaker at the fourth annual meeting of the Regional Council of Negro Leadership in Mound Bayou, Mississippi on April 29. In a recent speech on the floor of the House of Representatives he urged a many-level governmental investigation of the so-called "White Citizens Councils" operating in Mississippi to intimidate militant Negro leadership. Now he is going into Mississippi for a speech before the effective RCNL which has supplied the resistance leadership in that state. For its bold program and intrepid leadership the RCNL was given one of the NNPA Russwurm awards during National Negro Newspaper Week. Congressman Diggs will have a better opportunity to expose economic hate groups on the scene where he can inspire the brave men and women to continue their fight for freedom. The fight for freedom must be waged and won in the South. Given encouragement, provided with economic assistances, and offered the protection by the federal government to which their constitutional rights entitle them, they can overcome. Little Islands Become The Big News Topics Of The Day In the old wars where men rode in long Calvary lines, waving torn flags and flashing to the aid the glitter of tilting swords, the thought was of large territories, vast water frontage and rich valleys of grain like the Ukrane. The terrific shrinkage of the world has revised the importance of territory in a strange manner. Instead of war news furnishing maps of rich and productive territory, surrounded by vast waterfronts, atomic and nuclear warfare resolve around a few islands of funny sounding names, hard to spell and unheard of before by the average laymen — So meet Burma, Thailand, Maylaya, Cambodia, Vietnam, Formosa and Singapore. Small provinces, but these are made the Red plan for the conquest of Asia. Their log would run from South Korea, by Indonesia and Singapore, thence around to Burma, with take off points including Laos and Thailand. The Reds see in these strategic points through their hazy dreaming how they may take over stock, lock and barrel without firing a gun. Be it known that this is not the first time the Reds have guessed wrong. While this time their guessing might have merit, there are others on the other side doing some serious guessing also. In the drift of this cold war, we will hear much from now or about these little places assuming the proportions of big spots In this cruel cold war strategy of the legendary, Woolfork who "killed all his relations and never fired a gun. Thusly little names become big take-off spots. Final Rites procession Were Frank Simmons, John Fulgrum, Arthur McClung, Millard Wooten, Mozell Ellerbe, Ernest Bailey, Oscar Downs, Thomas Henry, W. T.

Episcopalian rites were conducted in the Institute Chapel and Interment followed in the Institute Chapel Cemetery. One of the football immortals developed by Mr. Abbott journeyed from Houston, Texas to pay him tribute. He was the formal AllAmerican Benjamin F. Stevenson, now coach at Booker. T. Washington in Houston. His unforgettable football heroics from 1923-31 added lustre to Mr. Abbott's, coaching career and made him nationally-recognized in the sports world.

Woman Used her $50 old age pension check, said she "didn't mean any harm," by accepting the job. She elaborated that she occasionally does "odd jobs" in order to supplement her pension. She further explained she quit the "come on" job for which she was reportedly paid $1.50 and a meal to sit outside from 11 a. m. to 3 p. m. attracting customers because she feared she would lose her pension. The well known Memphis woman, who at one time worked for the late E. H. Crump whom she credits with getting her pension, intimated that she had been threatened for accepting the job. She alleged that shortly before the group came to visit her a number of policemen had dropped by to see if anyone had attempted to harm her. She said the cafe owners Mrs. R. W. Blackwood and Mrs. J. O. Rogers, still owed her for the first day's work. Rev. Black more, spokesman for the group which include a LeMoyne NAACP. chapter member, Miss Maxine Brownlee, a visiting rural AME minister and a Memphis World staffer, offered a prayer for Mrs. Key and promised to ask others to aid the elderly woman sothat she will not have to accept jobs that are "degrading" to her land "her race." Of the six employees who were found guilty on charges of disturbing the peace and disorderly condust three were fined $11 each on the two counts, one, the alleged "ringleader," was fined $26 each on the two counts and two of them Ruth Sadler, 22, of 1402 Doris and Barbara Henderson 18, of 1596 Hannauer elected to be fined $16 each on the counts in order to appeal their cases. Urban League been prepared by them for the League. The consultants were Harry S. Ashmore, executive editor of the Arkansas Gazette in Little Rock, Dr. William Haber, an economic professor at the University of Michigan; Dr. Eli Ginzberg, an economic professor in the graduate school of business at Columbia University, and Miss Elizabeth Wickenden of New York. The overall theme of the convention was "Changing Racial Patterns in the Next Decade." The second day's discussion centered on a critical examination of the League's program in light of the changing status of the Negro in American life and the problems facing community leadership in the race relations field. The third day was devoted to the place and the role of the Urban League as an instrument of social action. General and plenary sessions each morning and evening, and sectional workshop, meetings were held in the afternoon on four subjects: training and employment; social welfare, health and housing; research and public education. Robert W. Dowling of New York is the League's national president. Dr. Ira DeA. Reid, head of the sociology department at Haverford College in Pennsylvania, was moderator of the panel. Lloyd K. Garrison of New York, convention chairman and former League president, outlined the purpose of the panel as an effort to "resurvey what the Urban league goals are and what steps the League is taking to achieve the goals in the light of the rapidly changing inter-racial picture." The Inheritors BY JANE ABBOTT NOT a word of his technique or values or his background, Had Enid mentioned of his painting of Cindy, yet Gary would rather have heard her say what she had. "You're amazing!" he explained. She looked at him. "Why?" "First—I didn't expect you to say anything like that. Aren't most girls a little jealous of a very pretty girl?" She dropped down on a stool by the work table. "I never have envied pretty girls but I do envy anyone like you! You think something, at least in the special part of your mind, and then you pick up a brush and put it on canvas. You make it live! Writers do that, and composers, architects, engineers... But most of us—we think things and that's all. At least ones like me. I want to do something— just do something that's me!" Gary said, "There's a pretty big choice these days. Isn't there?" Enid said soberly: That's what I'm thinking about. I must decide on something that I can do. And I haven't any talent for anything. Whatever I decide I'll probably have to study or take some training for it." He moved toward the stove. "What say we scramble up some lunch? Like spaghetti? I've a can of it with tomato sauce. Coffee in the pot." Enid said: "Let me start the fire. I'm getting quite expert." She began at once to put kindling into the little stove. Gary liked that— nothing in her manner to indicate that she saw this as a romantic adventure. They ate at a corner of Gary's work table. They did not talk much but Gary realized that the little silences that fell were comfortable, companionable. The rain closed in, in a pleasant way. They washed their plates and cups. "I'd better go," said Enid. "You'll come again?" asked Gary. Enid hesitated. "It depends on bow my mother takes this today." She was going to tell her mothed. Gary was inordinately pleased at that. He said, a little drily: "It'd be all right if I were on the eligible list?" Enid laughed. "It's wonderful to have you understand! And it isn't that I'm afraid to go against her. At least these last few weeks I'm not. It's—she is awfully unhappy, living there on the farm—especially so now. I can't upset her too much." She put on her boots, the coat, the hood, went to the door. There she turned. "I will come again!" "The next rainy day?" he asked. She went out into the rain, down the path. He watched her until she disappeared among the trees. "Some girl!" he said aloud. * * * Jennie Todd walked in the rain that day. To the village, wearing a faded blue raincoat and rubbers and holding an umbrella over her head. She walked fast, as if she must hurry to do what she was going to do. As, indeed, she must before some courage she had found petered out in her. She had bolted the door between herself and Hester again. Then, yesterday, Hester had come to her front door. Jennie opened it, not knowing who had Knocked on it. Hester was smiling. She said: "I've brought a letter for you Jenn." Jennie Todd took the letter, put it on the table. "Read it, Jenn. It's from Miss Millhouse. And I'll wager you anything she's writing for you to get back on the job!" Jennie picked up the letter, opened it. "Yes, she wants me to come back." Her voice was steady as she said it. She read the letter aloud. "If it isn't possible for you to come back by the fast of August at the latest, it will be necessary for me to engage someone else in your position." "I thought that was what she had written," said Hester. "I told you she'd heed you!" Jennie folded the letter. "I'm not going back!" she said. Hester stared at her: "Jenn, are you insane? You can't expect me to find you another job!" "No, I don't expect you to." "What will you do?" "Stay here. I like it here." "What will you live on?" "I'll find some way of earning money. I've a little saved, and it doesn't cost much to live here." Hester drew herself up straight. "Unfortunately, however, I can't dismiss a feeling of concern for you. I beg you not to answer Miss Millhouse's letter without givingit very serious, thought — saner thought." With that she went out the front door. Jennie sat down and wrote a letter to Miss Millhouse—a letter of resignation. Tomorrow she would walk to the village and mail it. * * * Reaching the village, she went directly to the post-office. The postmistress greeted her with a surprised laugh. "My goodness, Miss Todd, you out in this rain! It must be an Important letter you have to mail." "It is," said Jennie. "Anyway, I like to walk in the rain." "Well, I do myself if I'm dressed for it I'll see this goes on the 2:30No mail come for you yet today How's everything up at your farm?" "Going very well," said Jennie. "You really like it? I have a hankering to live In a city. I've. got it in the back of my mind to quit this job. My husband had it and when he died I got appointed to it But it's too confining—I don't like to be shut in. I'm going to just cut loose, go somewhere, maybe to Albany. If anything breaks for me, I'll stay there." Jennie went out and found herself face to face with Wick Middleton, for the immediate instant unrecognizable in a shabby raincoat and old hat. "Of all things!" he exclaimed. "Where were you heading for?" "The restaurant," she said. "No, you're not! You're going home with me—meet Net She al ways has enough food for a halfdozen!" "Oh, no!"' said Jennie. "Why not? You said you'd like to meet her and she wants to meet you." He put his hand under her elbow and turned her around. "I want you to see my library!" She walked along with him. Nettie's greeting was hearty. "I've wanted to meet you, Miss Todd, Take off those wet things. Wick, hang them in the shed. Sit down. Miss Todd, in this rocker, while I lay another place. Hope you like creamed chipped beef?" "On Nets biscuits," said Wick from the shed door. "And you'll say afterwards that you never tasted anything like it!" "Go along, Wick. Miss Todd, he flatters me just so that I'll keep on fattening him up!" "The basket you sent up to Cindy—you were Very kind," said Jennie. " Twas nothing. I worried about the child—about all of you, with those stoves." "We're managing very well," said Jennie. "Though we're not baking anything." After lunch he suggested that they go into the living-room to see his books. "Now, Wick, how do you know Jennie's interested," protested Nettie. "But I am," said Jennie. A pleasant, old-fashioned roam with comfortable shabby chairs, tables, lamps, and his books on plain shelves against one wall. "Oh!" said Jennie eagerly, going to them. "Mostly old titles—some were my father's, others I've bought here and there, second-hand. It's a weakness of mine. But they're good company." "Yes," said Jennie, thinking of the old bookshop where she had been so happy. When they went back to the kitchen Nettle was putting some glass Jars into a small basket "Currant jelly—I made it day before yesterday. I thought you and your sister and Cindy would like some of it— if you don't mind carrying it with you." "Oh, thanks! No, I won't mind— I'm going to get that taxi man to drive me back. I have to get some supplies at the store. We'll enjoy it!" Jennie said, as they went through the gate, "I like your cousin Nettie." Wick looked pleased. "Run in often to see her. You go to the market now and I'll pick you up there and drive you home." "No, no," said Jennie quickly. Wick said: "I think I understand. I'll get hold of Ed Pauly. Tell him to stop for you." He walked with her to the market, carrying the basket of jelly, the umbrella over her bead. As they reached the store they saw Hester's big car drawn up by the curb across the street, Hester alone in it They saw Hester give them one sweeping glance, then turn her head away as if she had not seen them.

I don't know whether you'd say I've gotten myself into a financial pickle or not-but that is my big headache now. I came to the city to work because of pay advantages. Then, too, my father wishes me to have no will of my own. He doesn't like the city and frankly, I'm glad. When I'm home, if I have a date, he criticizes the boy. When I don't have dates, he says something is wrong with me. Once there was a fellow I liked very much, but my father thought I was too young to marry at 24, so he broke up the affair. Now I have very few chances to even meet new friends. But my big problem now is that I have a chance to buy a small house in my home town. My friends all say "go ahead." Frankly, after the initial debt, it will be easier to house my father than it is now since I pay his rent, and I'll have a place to go when I can no longer work. Friends promised to help me, but now do not have the money. It would be a very good buy. Would you advise a loan? Cecile- Tampa, Florida. Dear Cecile It would seem that your plans to puy a house is a good one provided you are certain it will be easier to carry than the two establishments you now maintain. Certainly a loan is advisable if, after the initial bill, things will be easier for you. But do not go into the deal blind. Investigate the matter of mortgage loans in your community. Your bank Would surely give you better terms and aid you in planning. Let's hope your friends are sincere. Actually, they may be in position to view your problems objectively and to advise well. Perhaps that is why they have been encouraging you. They may not be able to leand you the money, but perhaps they will act as co-signers (you should need one). But whatever you do, see your way clear financially before making a move. Also, try to purchase a home that will house your father and also bring a small income to help with the expenses. Concerning your father: Be gentle and tactful, but firm Once he knows you intend to live your own life, he'll change. Parents often forget that children must grow up. Frequently children have to help them realize it. Best of luck to you. Larose PTA Meets Thursday The P. T. A. of LaRose will meet Tuesday, April 26 at 3:30 P. M. All parents are urged to be present.
