Happy Haven Struggles To
Give New Life To The Aged

ATLANTA, Georgia — (Scott Newspaper Syndicate)—
It was raining, and when there was a knock at the door
someone rushed out to take a look. Standing in the doorway,
dripping wet, was an elderly man, holding his shoes in one hand.
"I have come here and I want a
place to spend the rest of my days"
he said He was shivering from the
damp weather, and he had only five
dollars in his pocket to take care
of his lodging.
The place was Happy Haven, the
home for the aged... a place where
many of those entering the eventide 
of life, come, to spend their remaining, 
days in peach and contentment. 

"We never turn anyone away
here," said William Earl InglbStB
director of Happy Haven Home.
"Even though, we are struggling to
make both ends meet, we often find
ourselves performing miracles to
make those comfortable we are trying 
to serve" he added.
Mrs. Nell Blackshear, his assistant 
confirmed what Mr. Innman
said and added. "We are constantly 
in need of funds Our furniture,
aside from being old most of it is
almost depleted," she said.
Happy Haven is a Community
Chest agency. It is located at 1821
West Anderson Avenue, S. W., in
the rear of Battle Hill Haven. Their
buildings are packed with patients
to such an extent, that it becomes
difficult to move around. There
are 103 of them, many who have
come to make the place their home,
for they have no other to which
they can go.
The old man who came asking for
a place to spend the rest of his days
had walked all the way from Summerville, 
Georgia. He came to
Happy Haven because he knew of
no other place in the state where
colored people could go when they
became old and unable to work. According 
to his story, he had been
sleeping in the rear of a home near
a pig pen. The only available water
was a polluted stream in which he
occasionally washed his clothes and
took a bath.
"There are other cases," Mr.
Inman said maybe not as tragic, but
certainly just as significant."
"Food is a problem with us." he
went on, "I don't know what we
would do if people did not come to
our assistance You take most of
our fresh vegetables, those you see
in the baskets in the corner there,
well, they came from the markets
and stores in the community."
It was a sight to see There were
baskets, all packed with vegetables.
not bought with money the agency
gets through its budget, but obtained 
through the generosity of people, 
who realize the value of an
agency like Happy Haven.
The kitchen, where the food is
prepared was as neat as could be
A Health Department card with an
"A" hung on the wall of the dining
room, ant dhiektc nL n4EdHRD RD
room and the kitchen, evident of
the care and patience taken to
make the place measure up to necessary 
standards.
The refrigeration was not modern,
but sanitary. There was a single
department complete in modern
equipment.
A lot of the clothing we get
here," said Mr. Inman, "comes
from dry cleaning and clothing
establishment Some of the people
are big hearted enough to help us

They see how desperate we are and
frequently offer us help Over
fifty percent of their food and
clothing is acquired this way.
Mr. Innman, the new director has
been working hard during the last
few months, trying to utilize what
he has and much of that he does
not have make the place stand up
to its name, "Happy Haven."
He had no office when he came,
so he and Mrs. Blackshear cleared
out an old storage room painted it
and set up a desk and telephone
there Now he has some privacy
where he may work and hold interviews 
with his patients.
The ground, in the immediate
vicinity of the buildings, were once
thick with brush and shrubbery.
This had been cleared away, and
one gets a picture of a quaint old
structure sitting in the midst of
what could be a beautiful spot.
There are two or three emphy
buildings near the ground of Happy
Haven, but they are on the area
occupied by whites. Happy Haven
could use these buildings, but must
wait until authorities give the word.
Happy Haven is planning for
"Open House" services on Sunday
along with all other Community
Chest agencies in the Atlanta area.
There was one major worry Mrs.
Blackshear was nursing at the time
of my visit. She asked. "Where
can we get the money to buy some
plastic covers for our furniture.
We at least want to hide some of
the scars and worn parts before our
guest arrive." She looked at Mr.
Innman, the director. He looked
around at both of us and went out
on his usual mission, to look for
someone who might be able to help
them.

VACANT BUILDINGS

ATLANTA, Georgia — (Scott Newspaper Syndicate)—
It was raining, and when there was a knock at the door
someone rushed out to take a look. Standing in the doorway,
dripping wet, was an elderly man, holding his shoes in one hand.
"I have come here and I want a
place to spend the rest of my days"
he said He was shivering from the
damp weather, and he had only five
dollars in his pocket to take care
of his lodging.
The place was Happy Haven, the
home for the aged... a place where
many of those entering the eventide 
of life, come, to spend their remaining, 
days in peach and contentment. 

"We never turn anyone away
here," said William Earl InglbStB
director of Happy Haven Home.
"Even though, we are struggling to
make both ends meet, we often find
ourselves performing miracles to
make those comfortable we are trying 
to serve" he added.
Mrs. Nell Blackshear, his assistant 
confirmed what Mr. Innman
said and added. "We are constantly 
in need of funds Our furniture,
aside from being old most of it is
almost depleted," she said.
Happy Haven is a Community
Chest agency. It is located at 1821
West Anderson Avenue, S. W., in
the rear of Battle Hill Haven. Their
buildings are packed with patients
to such an extent, that it becomes
difficult to move around. There
are 103 of them, many who have
come to make the place their home,

they can go.

Cicero Landlady
Publishes Book
Miss
Camille De Rose, the Cicerc
landlady end author of "The
Camille De Rose" story, has
formed her own publishing
company here.
The controversial author took the
step after becoming involved in a
legal tangle with Erie Press, Inc.,
original publishers of the book. The
new company, the DeRose publishing 
company, has offices at 30 N.
LaSalle St.
Miss DeRose owned the apartment 
building in the Chicago suburb

Cicero race riots.
The controversial Cicero building
eventually went into receivership
and Miss DeRose is waging a legal
battle to regain possession. She
claims she was "taken to the cleaners" 
before and after the riot by
several attorneys, among them some
of Chicago's leading Negro legal
minds.
In her boob, which is the autobiography 
of an ex streetwalker and
climaxes with the blood Cicero riots,
Miss DeRose raps the "corruption"
of the NAACP and the courts of
Cook county.

Clark, Jr., the veteran who attempted 
to move his family into Cicero
was the pawn in the situation
Clark was named in a million dollar 
conspiracy suit filed earlier this
year by Miss DeRose. Eleven others
also were cited.

Want To Live To Be 100?
Thomas 
R. Gaines noted, health and
food specialist, author and former
Physical Training Director of the
New York City Police Department,
says that by obeying certain laws,
of nature, man can live 100 years
or more.
Radiant and alert, his vibrancy
and ramrod posture belying his almost 
80 years, Dr. Gaines is giving
a series of lectures on various subjects 
related to longevity at the
Capitol Hotel, 51st Street and 8th
Avenue, New York City. The young
octogenarian points out that worry 
and the wrong foods are man's
worst enemies If human beings
would avoid the two imposters,
they could have long, happy and
fruitful, according to Dr. Gaines
Gaines.
Even medical science, says the
enthusiastic lecturer, admits that
worry, and fear are the prime
causative factors in the diseases of
the stomach and the brain, and
they are the lowest use for which
we can employ our intellect Dr.
Gaines, whose research is based on
the reading of more than 15,000
books by doctors and scientists, is
the author of more than 50 volumes
on various phases of health, foods,
and mind.
Mst diseases vanish With the
proper kind of breathing, Dr.
Gaines emphasizes. For maximum
health and well-being, man cannot
rely on unconscious breathing alone.
At regular intervals, breathing that
is conscious and controlled must be
employed. He says a lot can be
learned about proper breathing by
observing the lower animals.
Sneaking of diets, Dr. Gaines emphasizes 
the importance of lowering 
the intake of carbohydrates
Green and yellow vegetables are
better he advises. Dr. Gaines has
traveled all over this country and

abroad lecturing on various health
subjects. His breathing discoveries
have been accepted by many important 
national institutions including 
the Brooklyn Teachers Institute,
The Brooklyn Institute of Arts and
Sciences, the New Orleans School
Beard and the Cambridge, Massachusetts 
School Board.

Churchill Wins
'53 Nobel Prize
The
1953 Nobel Prize in Literature was
awarded to Sir Winston Churchill,
whose majestic use of the written
and spoken word has thrilled his
admirers and chilled his foes in
peace and crisis for more than a
half century.
The Swedish Academy, honoring
the 78-year-old British Prime Min
ister in the sunset of his history
making career, took note of his
golden eloquence which played so
large a part In the Battle of
Britain during World War II, as
well as his brilliance with telling
written phrases.
The Academy said the prize,
worth $33,850, plus a ten-ounce
gold medal, was going to the
author-statesman for his mastery
of historical and biographical narration, 
and for his brilliant oratory
with which he has shown himself
to be a defender of high human
values."
It was to first time the award
has gone to an active statesman.
(In London, the Swedish Ambassador 
telephoned official word
of the award to Sir Winston at
Ten Downing Street.
(The Prime Minister said it was
a "great honor" which made him
proud and added: "I notice the
first Englishman to receive the Nobel, 
Prize in Literature was Rudvary 
Kipling. Another equally regarded 
was Bernard Shaw.

Veteran Whirl
The sharp increase in GI home
loan applications received by Veterans 
Administration during Aug
was sustained in September, although 
appraisal requests for proposed 
dwelling units showed a decline 
over the same period, VA
announced today.
VA received 34,084 home loan
applications during the month
ending September 25, 1953 which
was a nine per cent increase over
the previous month's total of
31,257 and the highest since April,
1951, when 36,517 applications were
received.
Thus, the August and September 
rate is substantially above the
average monthly rate of 25,636
home loan applications received
during the first seven months of
this year. Under the GI loan program, 
a lending institution agrees
to make the loan before submitting
a loan application for guaranty to
VA.
T. B. King, acting assistant deputy 
administrator for loan guaraty, 
said the trend of increasing
GI home loan applications in the
past two months reflects an easing
of the supply of money for GI loan
mortgages in many sections of the
country.
However, VA emphasized that, as
in August, some of the September
increase may be attributed to the
rush of lenders to get loan applications 
approved by VA before the
4 per cent gratuity was suspended 
midnight August 31, 1953.
The September increase in GI
home loan applications was general 
across the country except for
the South Central states which
showed a moderate decrease, VA
said.
During September, VA received
appraisal requests for 17,768 dwelling 
units of proposed construction
which was 4,360 units under the
August figure.
However, the monthly rate of
appraisal requests for proposed
construction are subject tof fluctuations 
since there are variations in
the number of large projects for
which requests are received from
month to month.
The monthly average of July,
August and September, 1953, is
20.200 which compares favorably
with 18,800, the monthly average
for the same period in 1952.
Most areas throughout the United 
States showed only modest decreases 
in the requests for appraisal 
of proposed construction
except New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, and California,
where fairly substantial declines
were reported.
Mr. King said the decrease in
appraisal requests for proposed
construction also may indicate that
some builders are finding it difficult 
to get advance financing
commitments for large projects.
"We cannot say that the decrease
is a trend on the basis of one
month's figures," Mr. King said.

to rise since 1950, according 
to the Department.

Grambling Rips Bishop Tigers
FORT WORTH, Texas — (Special)
—The Grambling Tigers backfired 
like a balky T-model Ford
for two quarters here Saturday
afternoon before cascading to a
thunderous 32-6 victory over the
Bishop College Blues.
Both teams played a superb
game of ball and the triumph was
quite honestly earned by the
resurgent Tigers.
Leveled 22-7 by Texas Southern
last week. Grambling bounced back
to maul the Baptist Parsons and
showed that they profited handsomely 
from the TSU drubbing.
"Bellpepper" Patterson peeled off
16-yards to open the touchdown
safari and scything blocking and
bouncing gallops squeezed out the
other markers.
With Arthur Redman, Bobby Robinson 
and Dave Diaz in the sadlle,
the Tigers roared 80, 66, 67 and 64
yards for second-half scores against
a stubborn defense that labored
with the bristling burden until the
bitter end.
Redman leaked inside tackle twoyards 
for the second score and
bounced 21-yards for the next one.
Earl Gaston made an easy catch
of Darnell Cowan's 26-yarder for the
fourth touchdown and Norman
Shaw shot a 20-yard hole through
Bishop's highly rated pass defense
for the closing run.
Halfback Robert Dillard plucked
the scoring pass
The hopped-up parsons registered
their lone TD in the third period on
a controller 20-yard punt return by
tackle Lester Beans.
The touchdown surprised beans almost 
as much as it did gasping
spectators.
Grumbling racked up 20 first
downs and rushed and passed for
394 yards.
Bishop found the Louisiana eleven
almost undentable and managed
only seven first downs and 7-0 yards
rushing and parsing.
Mitchell Johnson kent their offense 
pepned-up with his brilliant
running and dazzling punting. Twice
he hoomed nuts 70-yards.

Getting Along
Our
Creator has arranged things so that
there is a price tag on everything
If there is something we want, we
must pay the price for it.
Most Americans have willingly
paid the price for everything they
have wanted. When they wanted
self-government, they suffered privations, 
spilled their blood, and
many of them died in order to got
it When Americans wanted laborsaving 
devices, finanical security
and all the other good things
Americans have, they paid the
prics.
America's Greatest need now is to
have foreign friends Americans are
not well liked in many countries
A report from a recent issue of
Business Week, called 'Sightseeing
With Insult" tells how American
tourists are insulted in many European 
countries According to the
report, all Europeans are not antiAmerican 
Yet a recent French poll
shows that only 40 per cent of those
queried disapproved of anti-Ameri
can signs and only 11 per cent
would consider moving them. In
other words. 89 per cent of the
French are in favor of insulting
Americans.
The Asians accuse Americans of
race prejudice, which the readers of
this column can easily understand.
They can't forget the exclusion acts
and extra territorial privileges
Americans forced on them Americans 
are accused of the very human
traits of haughtiness and arrogance
America is conscious of these feelings 
and Vice President Nixon is
traveling through some of the Asian
countries to find out what it is
about Americans that these people
dislike.
At this time, when our way of
life is being threatened this unpopularity 
can be dangerous. We
need friends. Over 500,000,000 people
have been lost from the orbit of
American influence in the last 7
years. If this continues at this rate
every 7 years. Communism will
cover the earth in 21 more years
The only way we can stop it is to
Prove that our way of life is superior 
to any other We nerd friends,
and to pet them we must bf friendly 
We must develop consideration
politeness and smoothness in order
to gain the friends we need.

A Cheerful
Blood Giver
One of the
most cheerful blood-givers you
ever saw is Howard L. Williams
26, of Rockmart, who was donor
of the 5,000th pint of blood given
thus far In 1953 to the Red Cross
Bloodmobile by Lockheed Aircraft
workers.
One big reason: in 1947 when
his wife, Florence, was rushed to
St. Luke's hospital, New Bedford
Mass., for an emergency operation

the Red Cross blood bank saved
her life.
She says, "There's no doubt
about it. If it hadn't been for the
blood bank, I would have died."
Her husband started giving
blood to the Red Cross in 1943
while serving in the U. S. Navy
During his war years aboard the
aircraft carriers Ranger and Preston, 
in both the Atlantic and Paoffice 
areas, he saw plenty of instances 
where Red Cross, blood was
vital to our fighting men. And he
did his part in giving blood at
every opportunity.
Alter the war, he kept on giving. 

And when his wile was rushed
to the hospital that dark day six
years ago, he was doubly glad he
did.
He's been working at Lockheed
since 1951, has given 29 pints thus
far, and plans to keep on giving
until he is a member of the 5gallon 
dub.
Incidentally, Lockheed's 15,000
workers are the biggest source of
Red Cross blood donations in the
Atlanta area. The quota for Greater 
Atlanta for 1953-54 is 68,400
pints. Before the end of 1953, Lockheed 
blood band coordinator Jim
H. Wilson expects to raise the
company's total to more than
6,000 pints.

Reverend Kelly Miller Smith,
pastor of the First-Baptist Church
in Nashville, and Chairman of the
1953 United Negro College Fund
Campaign, Nashville Chapter, an
nounced 
that Nashville had not
only met, but had exceeded its
1953 goat of $8,000.00.
"We have been notified by the
New York headquarters that with
the exception of Providence, R. I.,
which began its campaign in the
winter, Nashville is the first city
in the nation to meet its quota."
The success of the campaign was
attributed to the long hours and
intensive work of the committee
men who made the collections
and the people who contributed
more generously than ever before.
"I would like to give special recognition 
to Dr. E. L. Sasser and the
A. and I. State University which
more than doubled their 1952 contribution, 
to Mr. John A. Galloway 
and Mrs. Clara Overall of the
Public Schools Committee, to the
CIO Union Committee, Mr. William 
H. Fort of the Fraternal Committee 
and the Beauticians Sorority 
Committee with Mrs. G. N.
Norris as chairman all of which
were new committees this year;
and the Ministers Committee that
not only Increased the amount donated 
over the 1952 contribution,
but also brought into the campaign
many new workers. Others those
time and effort assisted in the
success of the drive were Mrs.
Mary. Briess, executive secretary of
the Nashville Chapter, and Mrs.
Grace Harlin, financial secretary
of the Nashville Chapter."
This year's final report showed
a total of $10,201.52 as compared
to the $7,521 27 raised in Nashville
during the 1952 campaign. A total
of 553 contributions were made to
the 1953 drive.
