Year $5.00 — 6 Months $3.00 — 3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) President Eisenhower And Vice-President Nixon Deserve Re-Election The old axiom which says "action speaks louder than words" may well be considered by voters as they approach the important national campaign to decide the leaders who will guide the future of this nation and perhaps that of the free world — at least during the next four years. Voters could ask themselves five main questions and on the basil of the correct answers to these questions decide wisely who to vote for as president and vice-president on November 6th. These questions are: 1. Which candidates can best maintain the peace and prosperity at the same time? Candidate Eisenhower in 1952 promised to stop the war in Korea. He did just that soon after, his ejection. At the-present time the nation enjoys unprecedented employment and prosperity. President Eisenhower is respected by the nations of the entire world. 2. Which candidates con best handle the greatest domestic issue that has risen since the Civil War — namely, the 1954 Supreme Court decision, declaring unconstitutional racial segregation in public schools? Both President Eisenhower and Vice-President Nixon have moved effectively toward supporting and implementing the court's ruling. The naming of future judges to the various federal courts will be most important in carrying out the court decision. So far, the Senate has not rejected any of the President's appointees for judgeships. 3. Under which candidates can individual liberty and general civil rights for Negro Americans be further advanced? President Eisenhower has quietly but effectively eliminated segregation and discrimination in Washington, D. C., without the passage of any lows by Congress. Segregation has been eliminated in the Armed Services. Also a commission headed by VicePresident Nixon has made great progress in eliminating discrimination in employment. More progress has been made in Civil Rights during this administration than during any other administration since the time of Abraham Lincoln. 4. Which candidates would afford the best chances for enactment of needed federal Civil Rights laws? In February of this year the President specifically asked for a law to further protect the rights of the Negro to vote. The President's party is not divided on the race question and the court decision. 5. Which candidates can best handle the question of inflation? The nation is in sounder economic condition than it was when President Eisenhower took office. The dollar has greater purchasing power than it had four years ago. Inflation has practically been stopped. Inflation hurts the masses worse than it does the classes. We think the Eisenhower administration offers the best bet for continued peace and prosperity. Also, we firmly believe that because of his personal popularity in the South, his re-election will continue the further development of a two-party system which will result in the advancement of this section from all points of view. Yes, — the old axiom of, "action speaks louder than words," applies to the Eisenhower administration. We like the Eisenhower Republicanism. Using the record as on indicator, the New Republicanism seems to envision greater Individual liberty and prosperity for all. It is based on the principle of equal opportunity without regard for race, creed or color. Good action has been taken and the record speaks for itself. We think the record deserves o vote of confidence and appreciation. Therefore, we support the re-election of President Dwight David Eisenhower and Vice-President Richard Milhous Nixon. Evaluating Communities A Madison, Florida dateline, breaks the news through this integration potpourri that a Tri-county health consultant, a white woman doctor, is being drawn under fire for daring to eat while she counseled with a colored registered nurse on health matters. It was this way; a Dr. Deborah Coggins, a woman health officer, while going over health questions with Ethel Kirkland, Negro registered nurse and also a health consultant, dared to eat o little or to take a bite or two. For this she was unanimously voted off the payroll by the commission representing the three counties employing her. Her actual firing awaits other procedures. This incident brought angry reaction from the Madison County Commission. The three counties involved observe rigid segregation customs closely akin to nearby Georgia. Dr. Coggins stated without much elaboration that "my only error was in evaluating this community." So that is that. While the docto, declared that she had no soap boxes upon which to speak, was no integration, no crusader, insisting that her only error was the evaluation she placed on the community She never the less raises a point of order. The big question rises around what that evaluation was. It would not be necessary to put words into the mouth of One who spoke from a high plane of performing a professional function, not a social one. The doctor probably felt that centuries of Negro-cooking for white people, tasting it before their eyes and nursing their children from their breasts, would justify by this time "my evaluation of this community." Unmistakably she felt that her duties on health problems would for transcend little petty things, having no value in such an important equation; that the question of, health most certainly would be above those excuseless "expedient" maneuvers already over worked in a political agenda where a legal question definitely settled is moot to a political debate. The doctor raises an important issue in that maybe much of this fury around this integration business arises from the fact that communities must be brought up to that evaluation she expected they should hove attained by now. Maybe that was the late Theodore Roosevelt's only error in Inviting Booker Washington to dine with him, and in such illustrious company, might also be included the Supreme Court and Jesus Himself, who had not brought up the evaluation of those who stood around and derided him and impugned his motive — for eating with sinners The doctor did not place her error in the race category; she had the proper appraisal with whom she was lunching. Quote "My only error was in evaluating this community." This should be a ranging rebuke to that particular community — and one also to those who in these trying times of stress and tension at home and abroad who ore engaged in further dividing and disorganizing the nation's defenses. REVIEWING THE NEWS BY WILLIAM GORDON Managing Editor Atlanta Daily World No other incident in history points to greater tragedy, nor is here one which revealed greater sympathy for the oppressor. "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do . . ." was a striking statement almost two thousand years ago. It is still striking in light of humanity, the sufferings, the frustrations, the embarrassments and the deprivation some must encounter in order to gain their rights. Christ set the pattern of tolerance. Out of the many achievements by the American Negro along with his many talents, there is no greater asset than the ability to forgive and to forget. This is what makes him more Christlike. This naturally brings to mind what ran through the minds of the young Negroes at Sturgis and Clay, Kentucky, where rioters Save demonstrated against their attendance at the public schools, it would be interesting to learn what went on in the minds of hose at Mansfield, Texas, Hoxie, Arkansas and many other places over the South where irate whites openly demonstrated against them. One also wonders what went on in the mind of the Negro mechanic who worked at the Holman Garage in Sturgis, Kentucky. He was fired by the Mayor because he believed in integration. And of course, all of us wonder, and sometimes shudder at what is happening to Negroes all over the South, where threats of violence face them because they happen to believe in the Supreme Court's decision against segregation. One wonders with prayer about these things. On the other hand there is a feeling of disgust, yet one of pity for incidents similar to that involving the woman doctor in Florida, fired because she dined with a Negro nurse. One has to stop and question what is in the mentality of such people who live to oppress, distort and hate. Despite all of this, Negroes must remain sympathetic; they must not become the victims of their emotions like so many people who defy law and order. The handful of Negroes who have braved mobs and their leaders to enter schools for an education should continue to do so without resorting to the vile methods of the opposition. For in the words of a European: "Negroes in America have gained the highest respect among whites abroad for their logical, rational and unemotional approach to the problems that confront them." "Negroes have gained the respect of the free world. In reality, they are the true ambassadors of America, for they act unsymbolic of the Ku Klux Klan cross burning and the economic pressure methods of the Citizens Councils." No one knows better than Negroes themselves that the road to victory is a slow, painful one. There will be hardships, there will be trouble for those who stand for right and decency. Despite this, Negroes will continue to win friends here and abroad. Their philosophy is more Christlike. Moreover, they hove the heart and soul to forgive. The Heart And Soul To Forgive...

MY WEEKLY SERMON TEXT: "This do in remembrance of me." Luke 22:19. Sunday, October 7, was worldwide Communion Sunday. Through consecrated vision and imagination those around, the Lord's table saw the table of communion extended to include christian people of all the lands, every race, every language and every nation. Yes, world wide communion Sunday took on the characteristics of an extension table as when the dining table is extended with extra leavens that the entire family around the world might be accommodated Around thin table at the beginning of dawn Sunday, October 7, christians in every land shared the sacred meal. It was a picture, an act of Christian unity. We were nil one Jesus prayed to the Father that we be one. Paul begged that here be no divisions among us. A beautiful slogan is this: "In essentials unity in opinions liberality, in all things love. We make too much over our differences and too little over our similarities. We pray to the same God, we read the same Bible, we sing the same hymns. It may be literalism is our hinderance in christian unity. Whenever literalism brings us ino conflict with the spirit of comnon sense, the spirit of goodness, he spirit of compassion, sympathy generosity and good-Will. Those hinge, virtues if you please, which characterized Jesus the Christ, who died for us, then we must subdue our literalism. We must emphasize "in opinions liberality in all things Love." For indeed we are all God's children and he loves us everyone. Last Sunday, the Lord's Supper was the symbol of one family, one church. We have never seen Jesus face to face, but he left his photograph. . . This institution, the Holy Communion. To behold the Lord's Supper is to see Jesus by faith through the heart's eye. More than nineteen hundred years ago Jesus left his home and came to this earth as a volunteer to fight a battle with the world, the flesh, and the devil. It was on Calvary s brow he met the devil in all of his satanic majesty, and there for hours waged the war. Angels looked down over the battlements of heaven ready to cheer the man of Galilee, while devils hissed and jeered. The sun veiled himself in midnight darkness, and refused to shine upon such an awful tragedy: the moon blushed for shame, and the stars went out: the earth quaked, the veil of the temple was rent in vain, and the Son of God was slain, the devil was vanquished, and lost humanity was once more won back to God. Yes around the Lord's table, the heart's eye saw this drama reenacted and faith said to us, "sometime Jesus is coming back to receive us unto himself, and we snail be with him and see him in full beauty. Sunday ground the world we were in the presence of Christ. Our Savior and we felt the mighty pulse of his undying friendship. In deed and in truth the Lord's I Supper is God's "Forget-Me-Not."

"You asked me to put my cards on the table. O.K., I'll tell you ... A part of it is that I'm on the lookout for a person whose description you answer, to some extent." "My stars!" Rita laughed. "And you've been thinking I might be the one? How disappointed you must be." "Not disappointed. Relieved. was sure you were not the one almost from the first Still. . ." He took a little card from between the pages of a notebook and began to read it. "Age thirty. Spanish nationality, eyes large and dark. Hair black. Weight one Hundred twenty pounds. Height live feet, six inches." "Offhand," Rita said, "there might be tonic similarity. I'm thirty-six, I weigh-one hundred eighteen, and I'm five feet, five." She cocked at herself to one side and looked at herself in the bar minor. "Id say the eyes and the hair tally . . . Tell me, Bill, what am I supposed to have done? Is the woman you're looking for mixed up with Alvarez?" "That's what I'm working on." "And that is why you asked me that first night if I knew Alvarez. Would I nave told you?" "I've learned to read people's expressions. Though I've met up with clever ones who fooled me." He said it quietly and there was some quality in his voice that Rita did not like. She said evenly, "And when out saw us there in the restaurant that first night, you pulled out your little book, read what was there, and said, 'Oh, goody, goody, here she is." Bills face reddened a little. He deliberately waited a moment, stopping to light a cigarette before lie said. "I couldn't overlook the possibility." "And why do you tell me this now? What changed your mind? I mean, made yon sure I'm not the right one?" Bill said nothing. The silence lengthened and finally Rita said, "Heavens above! You changed your mind: you're still suspicious." "I didn't say that," Bill said quickly. "I was thinking out my answer to your question. My mind wasn't changed. I never really suspected you. But, as I said. I've a job to do and I can't let anything slip. You it friendly with Alvarez. You weren't at first. The woman I'm looking for would be careful not to be need with him." "I didn't know him at first, so of course I couldn't be friendly with him." This situation wasn't fun any longer. "Perhaps you were skeptical when I told you we were going to accept the invitation from Alvarez to cruse around on his boat, perhaps you thought I was making that up." Bill sat there smoking, letting her talk. Rita's voice was quite serious when she continued, "As I said, my mistake was playing mysterious. But you asked me so many questions, and you were so darn . And now that think of it, Dr. Devereaux has quizzed Priscilla a lot—" She broke off suddenly. Light had dawned. She got up. "I see it all now-all the attention you and Dr. Devereaux have given us. You were after information. If we were mixed up in anything, do you think we would have been so gullible? For myself, I don't care at all, but for Priscilla—well, I don't like the idea of Dick Devereaux spending time on her for a reason, at your suggestion, of course. I did warn Priscilla that he was just playing around with a new girl but of course I had no idea you were behind it." Her voice grew colder, firmer. "And now I'm going, and you needn't come with me." Bill had got up, too, and as the hotel clerk made his appearance, he followed Rita out on the porch. He said, "Look, Rita, I'm going to be honest. I did suggest to Dick that he see something of Priscilla. I wanted to know why you girls were in Apalachicola. You see, I didn't know then that Priscilla owned Lookout House. And I didn't know you then," he hesitated, "or like you, as I do now. Don't look so contemptuous. I do like you. And Dick likes Priscilla. It has worried him a great deal—the fact that he ever asked her for a date under false pretenses." "Tell him to stop worrying about it I don't think it will break her heart to leave here. And now it you don t mind, I'll leave." She walked away, leaving Bill standing there looking after her. Priscilla tilled net head back and looked up at the faraway stars. "Looks like a big silver-gray tent, with diamonds peeping through." she said contentedly The radio in the car played softly lair waltz music. Sitting Here with Dick, the trade wind swaying the long silver moss in the trees behind them, moonlight shimmering on the vast expanse of water, time seemed to stand still There was no past—no past of Manhattan's skyscrapers, crowded subway's, hurrying crowds. There was no future, when she would have to go back to that There was only tonight, the vivid, satisfying present. Dick, relaxed beside her, said, "There's a good view from this point. That's why I brought you up here." They were parked on a point of land jutting out above the water, before them a glittering panorama, of sparkling set and star-spangled heavens. "It's lovely! So much space and quietness," Priscilla exclaimed sincerely. "And it makes me a little sad to think of leaving it ail, because I know I shall never come back." "Why must you leave?" "Why? Because I work for a living, remember? And my small inheritance from Aunt Rachel doesn't run to idleness. I go to an office every day, twenty-five stories above the ground. There's no bright, sparkling water, no palm trees, no silver moss. I spend my days with a typewriter and a phone for company. This is just a wonderful interlude in my life that someday will be a dimly remembered dream. The business girl's vacation—work fifty weeks to be off two. I have a good job. life is pleasant I suppose but— but nothing ever happens. One can so easily get into a rut. Being out of the rut even for this short space of time has been a wonderful dream." "It's been nice for me, too," Dick said quietly. "It's been different, really, from what I thought. I mean, I didn't expect to make any friends down here. And it seems I've known you a long time." "Well, you've been" with me every day since we met, either on a date or riding with me on calls. I'll miss you, Priscilla." Priscilla ignored the serious note in Dick's deep baritone. She didn't want this man to Know how much she liked him. After awhile, after a long while this little pain in her heart would go away. She had wanted to tall in love, and couldn't. Now, wholly unexpectedly, in a quiet, dreamy little town in the Deep South, it had happened. She was in love at last. () CHAPTER 23 By DOROTHY WORLEY © 1956, by Dorothy Worley.

() Lincoln League Rally Draws Big Turn-Out; Ike Praised Support of a straight Republican ticket highlighted an enthusiastic Republican Party rally Thursday night in Beale St. Baptist Church The Lincoln League sponsored the event. Some 450 Republican Party members and workers heard Guy L. Smith, chairman of the Republican state executive committee in laud ing the party's progress under Eisenhower to the highest, say that the biggest "argument" for Ike's reelection is, "he kept us out of war four long years." Introduced by local state GOP official Lt. George W. Lee, Mr. Smith charged precinct workers to take, "the issues to the people, have them compare candidates, and then vote. "You've heard 'pretty' conversation throughout the last 20 years Eisenhower has given you acts." Mr. Smith said. Prior to introduction of the speaker, Lt. Lee led a three-minute demonstration around the auditorium with the participants joining in singing the "Good Old Republican Spirit" to the tune of "Old Time Religion." The chant of "We Want Ike," balloons, noise-makers, placards, highlighted the scene. Herbert Harper, Republican candidate for congress from the Ninth District labeled Mr. Stevenson as the "nearest approach to an aristocrat we have in the United States." "Buying power under the Eisenhower administration had increased a net eight percent." Mr. Harper said in answer to opponent, Representative Cliff Davis. (Dem.), Tenn. who had attacked the administration in a recent speech. Mr. Harper added, "we must give Ike' credit for leading us out of a back yard engagement that was costly." continuing that had Mr. Stevenson been elected four years ago. "Korea would have lagged on." Attorney A. B. Hooks pointed out "Anytime you vote for a Democrat, you're voting for Senator James O. Eastland to be chairman of the Judiciary Committee. We must stand as men or women, or be counted among the 'boys' in the Democratic Party." Speaking briefly as participants on the program were: B. F. McCleaves, T. L. Spencer, and William R. Bradford, Negro candidates for legislature Harry August of the Republican National Committee, Wash ington; Armstead Clay, co-chairman of Shelby County's Eisenhower-Nixon Campaign headquarters: Mr. and Mrs. William K. Moody, and Mrs. George A. Dorman.

Introduced by local state GOP official Lt. George W. Lee, Mr. Smith charged precinct workers to take, "the issues to the people, have them compare candidates, and then vote.

Lee led a three-minute demonstration around the auditorium with the participants joining in singing the "Good Old Republican Spirit" to the tune of "Old Time Religion."

"Buying power under the Eisenhower administration had increased a net eight percent." Mr. Harper said in answer to opponent, Representative Cliff Davis.

Mr. Harper added, "we must give Ike' credit for leading us out of a back yard engagement that was costly." continuing that had Mr. Stevenson been elected four years ago. "Korea would have lagged on." Attorney A. B. Hooks pointed out "Anytime you vote for a Democrat, you're voting for Senator James O. Eastland to be chairman of the Judiciary Committee. We must stand as men or women, or be counted among the 'boys' in the Democratic Party." Speaking briefly as participants on the program were: B. F. McCleaves, T. L. Spencer, and William R.

LIFE-A-DAY "We won't be able to tell what was taken until we separate the glass from the diamonds!" 102,743,000 Will Be Old Enough To Vote By November The Census Bureau estimated Friday 102,743,000 U. S. civilians will be old enough to vote in the Presidental election Nov. 6. This does not include members of the Armed Forces of voting age, who number approximately 2,100,000. In November, 1952, some 98,133,000 civilians were of voting age. Thus the increase in the past four years was about 4,600,000. Women of voting age, estimated at 53,652,000 for 1956, will outnumber men by more than four and one-half million although about one-half of this difference is accounted for by men in the Armed Forces. The total vote in the 1952 Presidential election was 61,552,000, or 62.7 per cent of the civilian population of voting age. The Bureau pointed out that many people that are old enough to vote do not do so and many others cannot because they have not met State requirements on citizenship, residence, registration, or payment of poll taxes.
