It Could Happen - Let's Prepare
President Eisenhower's proclamation of September 9-16 as
National Civil Defense Week focuses attention on civil defense
needs in our own community.
No one likes to think of atomic attacks on America by a
ruthless enemy, about cities blasted into roaring infernos, or
about millions of evacuated people streaming into the rural
countryside.
Because it isn't the kind of thing we like to think about,
many of us refuse to think about it. "It isn't possible." Or if it is
possible, "we can't hope to survive." This is the kind of reasoning
that spells defeat, even before attack.
You wouldn't stand by while your barn was burning. If you
could save even half of it, you'd work to save half. We can't
stand by in our community today, because the threat of enemy
attack is real and there is something we can do about it.
We can plan now, prepare now to work together for our
common survival. The organization for that planning is civil
defense.
The enemy has nuclear weapons and the means to throw
them against America. When he is ready to attack, he won't
wait. Why should we? Let's get ready.
Our first job is to learn how to take care of ourselves and
our families in any emergency. Civil defense can help us with
that.
Our second job is to be ready to meet the threat of radioactive 
fallout, either by taking shelter or evacuating. Again civil
defense can show us how to prepare.
Another task is to prepare to care for the people evacuated
from target cities. They will help to care for themselves too. And
together, we can work to put America quickly back on its feet,
to fight back and win. By helping evacuees, we'll be helping
ourselves. Survival depends on this complete cooperation.
We'll also have to be ready to help in the attacked cities to 
save lives and salvage as much of America's resources as
possible. Our help will be vitally necessary to the nation's survival. 

Some of us should be trained as rescue crews, some as fire
fighters, others as first aid teams, others as auxiliary policemen,
emergency vehicle crews. Civil defense is ready to help us get
this training now. It's double-barreled training, too. It can be
mighty important to taking care of our families and property.
These facts cannot be denied: We're on the potential battle
fronts, right along with the big cities. The enemy can attack
our nation, hard and horribly. We can survive, recover, fight
back to win-if we are prepared. Civil defense is that preparedness. 

It is up to us as individuals, and to the community as a
whole, to see that we have a civil defense organization strong
enough to insure our survival.

School Begins
While no longer,
"Readin', 'ritin' en 'rithmetic"
Are "taught to the tune of a hickory stick."
Nevertheless they are calling the youngsters from their
rollicking vacation spreads to the tasks awaiting them at the
blackboard and desks.
On every hand we see the young folks scurring away to
school; with pencil tablets and books they return to their places
left last spring with a renewed courage and a determination to
make the most of better conditions, than those known to many of
us oldsters who know the old field one-room, one-teacher school
shanty that stood as the poet Whittier once described: "Like a
hungry beggar sunning."
Even in the rural districts there are modern school buildings
built of bricks, properly lighted and sanitary in every respect. The
spacious grounds have been especially prepared for wholesome
games with paid coaches and supervisors on the job to see that
even recreation is given as much attention as the instruction
itself.
Students in history and geography are taught with moving
picture slides in dark rooms where they are given actual sights
to nail on to their memory. The TV and radio are standard
equipment for the school, while on the other hand lunches are
provided.
So, the getting of an education is up to the youth; youth
has not only been equipped with excellent physical resources, the
teaching force has been carefully screened and standardized for
effective teaching.
The teachers are fresh from their vacations and find great
pleasure in a change of habit even if it is a return to work.
The children are indebted to their parents and the taxpayers
for the excellent facilities they are enjoying. Let them enter fully
upon their responsibility and show the communities in which the
schools are located just what student-spirit should mean as assets
to the community. Let them give an index by their behavior of
what a good home instills in the offsprings from its hearth.
So, school begins and while
"Readin','Ritin' en 'Rithmetic" are no longer,
"Taught to the tune of a hickory stick,"
they are nevertheless being taught and the young people we see
every morning rushing on to school are the chosen ones in the
light of this valuable opportunity and — may they make the
most of it.

Clinton, Tennessee Takes A Sane Step
The Clinton High School up in Tennessee began classes
last week with the integration of some twelve Negro pupils
in its high school department, despite the rabble-rousing attempt
of one John Kasper, said to be executive secretary of the White
Citizens Council. He sought to stir the neighborhood into some
fashion of a picket, after twelve Negro students were registered
last week without incident for the courses in this high school.
These will be the first Negroes to be admitted to a public high
school in Tennessee, save the nearby Oak Ridge school which is
a government project.
The mayor as well as other citizens had plead with Kasper
"not to stir up trouble" still he persisted, suggesting that the people 
had a right to picket, court order or no court order.
It is indeed interesting that Kasper was told that if he wanted
to picket something to "picket federal court at Knoxville"!
Such prudence on the part of law enforcement officers and
the cool and collected spirit of the people are those American
assets able in these times to make wholesome contributions to our
generation.
It might also be interesting to note that Kasper was jailed

and placed under a $5,000 bond.
Under this bon he will seize the opportunity "to
picket the federal court in session at Knoxville, Tennessee."
Possibly he has read in his history books the occasion
upon which General Bouregard fired on Fort Sumter.

ENCHANTED HARBOR

IT WAS strange to wake to the
song of birds, early-morning
sunlight and the fragrance of
flowers blooming just outside the
windows.
Rita had an impulse to get up
and get outside. Could she get out
without disturbing Priscilla?
Should she advise Priscilla about
deposing of the property, or let
the decision be entirely her own?
It seemed the logical thing to go
ahead and accept the offer Alvarez 
had made. Yet it seemed
strange that the man was so
anxious to get the property now,
when it had been standing vacant
to long. Mr. Todd had explained
that by saying the property could
not be put on the market until
the heir was found. It was after
their visit to Lookout House that
Alvarez had come to Mr. Todd
with his offer. How had he known
Mr. Todd was handling it? Had
he seen them at the property?
And what about the money she
had found? No one had answered 
the advertisement.
The slight bite in the air made
her think of coffee. She got out
of bed quietly and went to the
kitchen to put on the coffeepot.
By the time she had slipped into
black woolen slacks and a white
sweater, rebraided her hair and
wrapped it around her head, the
coffee was ready. She poured herself 
a cup and carried it outside,
being careful to stay on the narrow 
walk to avoid the heavy dew.
She broke off in her thoughts on
seeing a car stop.
"Hi," Bill called. "I didn't know
vacationists got up so early. Come
over and say good morning."
Rita walked over to the car,
"It isn't early. Must be all of
seven, I might ask the same of
you. Aren't you early—for a
writer?"
"It's late for me. I've already
been out fishing. I like the early
mornings. That coffee smells good
...Would you have another cup
of it handy?" His smile was
whimsical.
Rita thought, I could like him
if he didn't antagonize me. She
said pleasantly, "There's a potful
but I can't ask you in. It's
really a dollhouse. And Priscilla
is still sleeping. But I'll get you a
cup."
"Tell you what Leave the coffee 
for Priscilla and come with
me. We'll ride over to Maud's
and get breakfast I take it you
haven't had yours?" Reading refusal 
in her eyes, he added coax
ingly, 
"It's a nice ride over the
bridge in the early morning."
Rita shook her head. "Priscilla
will awaken and wonder where
I am. But I'll be glad to get you
a cup of coffee."
"Leave her a note, Bill urged.
"It isn't often that I ask a lady
to breakfast."
"You tempt me. Give me two
minutes to write the note."
Bill would have laughed had
he seen the note Rita left "Wonder 
of wonders! I've gone to
breakfast with the red Buick.
Coffee's made. Back soon."
She threw a soft white coat
around her shoulders, tucked a
red hibiscus in her hair.
"You're quite etching in that
outfit," Bill said, his eyes moving
over her approvingly. "With that
red flower in your black hair,
your eyes like velvet pansies, you
look like a
Rita thought, There he goes
again, trying to link me with
that Spaniard Alvarez. She said
cheerfully, "Thanks for the compliment." 

Bill was right. The ride across
the causeway was exhilarating in
the fresh morning air. Sunlight
sparkled on the water. Gulls
wove intricate patterns above the
boats.
"Oh, there's that beautiful
yacht!" said Rita. "Doesn't it
gleam in the sun? Like silver and
gold."
"I think I asked you last night
if you had met Alvarez."
"You did," Rita said smoothly.
"Do you know him?"
"I haven't met him yet. Dick
Devereaux says he thinks he can
get an invite for me to a party
Alvarez is planning soon."
"You're really interested in that
boat," she said.
"Could be," Bill said, and added, 
"Let's say curious, instead."
He probably expected her to
ask why he was curious, but she
didn't "I think Doc was quite
smitten by your little friend." he
said.
"I was afraid of that."
"Why afraid?"
"Not really, of course. And
then he's not really smitten, as
you call it. He's in love with the
little girl we met at Maud's last
night, isn't he?"
"Peggy Pomeroy? I think he
is. Although having been in
Apalachicola such a short time.
I can't say how serious it is. It
seems to be an accepted fact here
that Peggy can have either one
of them, Dick or Pete Craig."
They had stopped on the bridge
to enjoy the bright landscape.
The fog had lifted and the sun
was like molten gold. "Guess
we'd better move on. I'm needing
that coffee. By the way, Doc said
he was going to ask Priscilla to
ride with him on a call down near
Carrabelle this morning, if you
didn't mind. Do you?"
"Mind? Why should I? After
all, Priscilla is twenty-two and
I'm not her chaperone."
"I wondered about that. You
and Priscilla."
"You mean you wonder why
we are congenial, me being
thirty-six and Priscilla was a small-town
girl when she came to New York
three years ago, She got a job
with the firm I've been with for
a long time, and I sort of took
her under my wing."
"If I said you didn't look anywhere 
near thirty-six, you would
think I'm trying to flatter you."
"No," she said candidly. "I
wouldn't think that Because, you
see, I quite agree with you. Perhaps 
because I've been told that
so often. And I don't really mind
being thirty-six—in fact, I believe 
I would rather be my age
than twenty-two." She laughed
cheerfully. "I've been both ages,
you see, and I can speak from
experience. I'm glad I'm past that
age where you go all tingly if a
man who appeals to you looks at
you as if you appeal to him, too."
"It's not a bad feeling," Bill
said, smiling. 'And it can happen
to one at thirty-six as well as at
twenty-two. A woman of thirtysix 
can be just as appealing."
"Now that remark really has
all the earmarks of flattery," Rita
said good-naturedly, "but it leaves
me unimpressed."
"You really are a cool one,
aren't you?"
"I don't know, but flattery always 
seem a little obvious to me"
She smiled to take away the
slightly caustic sound of the remark, 
and added lightly, "Here
we are! And I seem to have
worked up an appetite. I have an
empty spot not only for coffee
but for bacon and eggs. Breakfast 
appeals to me more just now
than romance."
"You win" said Bill, more interested 
in this woman than he
wanted to be. He jerked himself,
up mentally. None of that. He
had a job to do. Until he knew
more about her he'd better keep
his feelings strictly impersonal.

Baptists To Take Stand On
School Issue At Denver Meet
Some 15,000 delegates to the National
Baptist Convention, Inc., USA, Dr. J. H. Jackson, Chicago, moved
headon here Wednesday morning into the explosive school integration 
issue by deliberating at City Auditorium on whether to
advocate a policy of "Moderation, Gradualism or Pressure for
immediate action to solve the problem."
The convention, the argest ever
to assemble in Denver will be voted
on after a report on special commission 
on race relations.
President Jackson stated at a
press conference that he had sent
a telegram to Gov. Frank Clement
of Teen. commending him on his
action in calling out National Guard
troops to quiet anti-Negro rioting
stirred up when Negro students
registered in previously all-white
schools.
"I thought the Tenn. Gov. needed
a word of encouragement," Dr.
Jackson said. "I am sure when
he made his remarks at the Democratic 
Convention recently, he
didn't believe he would be called
to back them up soon." He also
said that delegates might indicate
how they were going to vote in the
Presidential election this Fall. He
declared that "our country needs
leadership that rises above the political 
party and seeks loyalty in
the nation's Democratic principles."
Pres. Jackson warned that we
must send to the White House this
Fall a man who is courageous and
determined about the  of the
nation as was Abraham Lincoln,
but who will also not only swear
by but actually support the Federal
Constitution with all his might.
The convention sermon was delivered 
by Dr. Roy Love, of Memphis, 
Tenn., entertainer of the body
last year in Memphis. His sermon 
was preceded by an address
by Rev. J.E. King, of Miss., who
warned that "the white man in
this country has done more mixing
of the races than anybody else. He
spoke on: "The place of freedom
in the Christian religion." Rev.
G.A. Hobart Sheppard, Texas, responded 
to the welcome program.
Keynote for political and civil
rights action by delegates will be
set by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
leader of the Negro bus protest
inn Montgomery, Ala., who is scheduled 
for a public address on Friday
at 3:45 p. m.
Business sessions of the huge
convention were launched with a
welcome program by State, City,
Government and local religious
leaders.
Some 9,000 persons crowed the
auditorium Tuesday night for the
pre-convention musical.
The Baptist chieftain of 25,000
churches intimated that "movement
for integration of churches should

come from white churches and not
the Negro."
"A great deal of the tension in
southern states would lessen considerably 
if those people realized
that the Negro does not want to
go to them," he said "the fact we
want integrated schools does not
indicate a desire of colored
Americans not to be colored but
instead only a desire for the full
participation in the cultural and
Democratic lift of the nation.
"We don't mind letting a man
have his prejudices, but we don't
want them on the statute books."
he remarked.
Dr. Jackson returned from a
preaching mission behind the Iron
Curtain only last week. He was
the first non-Catholic minister to
speak to Rumanian Christians in
the past 15 years.
He pointed out that his visit
to Hungary, and Yugoslavia pointed
up the value of Christian freedom.
Six special trains rolled into
Union station Tuesday, bringing a
large part of the 15,000 delegates
who are attending the five-day
meeting. Convention sessions are
divided into four sections. The
convention headquarters is at New
Hope Baptist Church, East 24th and
Ogden Street.
Talking further about church integration, 
the Baptist head while
not in favor of a mass Negro move
to integrate church attendance, said
he was not denouncing Negroes
who choose to go to white churches.
"We don't object to anyone joining
any church," he added.
Dr. M. C. Williams is pastor of
Host Church and is doing a good
job in his desire to entertain the
Baptists.
Gov. Edwin C. Johnson, State of
Colorado, brought greetings as did
Denver's Mayor. W. F. Nicholson.
Dr. E. A. Freeman, Kansas,
preached an able sermon on Wednesday 
night. He is a Georgia
preacher, reared in South Atlanta.
Dr. J. c. Cook, of Phenix City,
Ala., and Columbus, Ga., will preach
Friday morning.
Rev. C. K. Steele, Tallahassee,
Fla., Dr. T. J. Jemison, La., secretary 
of the body, and Dr. Thomas
Kilgore, New York will be leaders
of a symposium: "National Gradualism 
facing integration." This
event will be topped with an address 
by Dr. M. L. King, Jr., Ala.
On Friday evening Dr. Howard
Thurman, dean of chapel at Boston
University, will speak on Booker.T

Washington Night.
On Saturday morning Dr. J. L.
Vaughn, Rome, Ga., will conduct
the Moderator's Hour.
J. B. Blayton, auditor, Atlanta,
and A. T. Walden, attorney made
able reports.
The meeting will close Sunday
night with sermon by Dr. W. M.
Jackson, pastor, Bethlehem Baptist
Church, Atlanta. The Georgia delegation 
will leave Denver Sunday at
5:30 p.m. Denver time and will
arrive in Atlanta Tuesday afternoon 
at Terminal Station. Many
of the delegates will go sight-seeing 
Saturday. This writer plans
to make moving pictures before
the meeting ends.

WARNS VOTERS
Some 15,000 delegates to the National
Baptist Convention, Inc., USA, Dr. J. H. Jackson, Chicago, moved
headon here Wednesday morning into the explosive school integration 
issue by deliberating at City Auditorium on whether to
advocate a policy of "Moderation, Gradualism or Pressure for
immediate action to solve the problem."
The convention, the argest ever
to assemble in Denver will be voted
on after a report on special commission 
on race relations.
President Jackson stated at a
press conference that he had sent
a telegram to Gov. Frank Clement
of Teen. commending him on his
action in calling out National Guard
troops to quiet anti-Negro rioting
stirred up when Negro students
registered in previously all-white
schools.
"I thought the Tenn. Gov. needed
a word of encouragement," Dr.
Jackson said. "I am sure when
he made his remarks at the Democratic 
Convention recently, he
didn't believe he would be called
to back them up soon." He also
said that delegates might indicate
how they were going to vote in the
Presidential election this Fall. He
declared that "our country needs
leadership that rises above the political 
party and seeks loyalty in
the nation's Democratic principles."
Pres. Jackson warned that we
must send to the White House this
Fall a man who is courageous and
determined about the  of the
nation as was Abraham Lincoln,
but who will also not only swear
by but actually support the Federal
Constitution with all his might.
The convention sermon was delivered 
by Dr. Roy Love, of Memphis, 
Tenn., entertainer of the body
last year in Memphis. His sermon 
was preceded by an address
by Rev. J.E. King, of Miss., who
warned that "the white man in
this country has done more mixing
of the races than anybody else. He
spoke on: "The place of freedom
in the Christian religion." Rev.
G.A. Hobart Sheppard, Texas, responded 
to the welcome program.
Keynote for political and civil
rights action by delegates will be
set by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
leader of the Negro bus protest
inn Montgomery, Ala., who is scheduled 
for a public address on Friday
at 3:45 p. m.
Business sessions of the huge
convention were launched with a
welcome program by State, City,
Government and local religious
leaders.
Some 9,000 persons crowed the
auditorium Tuesday night for the
pre-convention musical.
The Baptist chieftain of 25,000
churches intimated that "movement
for integration of churches should

come from white churches and not
the Negro."
"A great deal of the tension in
southern states would lessen considerably 
if those people realized
that the Negro does not want to
go to them," he said "the fact we
want integrated schools does not
indicate a desire of colored
Americans not to be colored but
instead only a desire for the full
participation in the cultural and
Democratic lift of the nation.
"We don't mind letting a man
have his prejudices, but we don't
want them on the statute books."
he remarked.
Dr. Jackson returned from a
preaching mission behind the Iron
Curtain only last week. He was
the first non-Catholic minister to
speak to Rumanian Christians in
the past 15 years.
He pointed out that his visit
to Hungary, and Yugoslavia pointed
up the value of Christian freedom.

FBI is well aware" of the telephoned 
threats, indicating a possible 
federal probe.
Brittian said a few parents, including 
a gun-carrying grandfather
had formally taken their children
out, applying for transfer to a
nearby segregated school.
Brittian is head of the first Tennessee 
State-supported high school
to attempt integration. While attendance 
at the school increased
slightly Wednesday for the first
time since the Clinton disturbances
began.
Since the first pro-segregation
speeches on the lawn of the whitebrick 
Anderson County courthouse,
attendance had dropped each day
from 806 Sept. 28 to a low 266
Tuesday. But the Wednesday morning 
roll call showed a slight into 
the high school level.
The Poolesville episode was the
only indicated reported in Montcrease

Brittian said there were three
possible major reasons for lack of
attendance: parents and children's
feeling against school integration,
threats and fear of reprisal to
children and parents, and perhaps
a lack of confidence in his handling 
of the situation.
He set next Monday as something 
of a deadline. Asked if he
would resign then, if attendance
did not pickup, Brittian said:
"I think I have answered it as
much as I publicly can, at the
moment, because I feel what is
gong to happen in the next few
days will show whether the people 
are behind me or not. I would
like to know whether the people
have turned against me, or whether
they are afraid."
The current troubles in Clinton
evolve from a suit instituted four
years ago, seeking admittance of
Negro children to the high school.
It was turned down, but appealed
Meanwhile, the U. S. Supreme
Court made its decision reversing
the "separate but equal" doctrine
and ruling Negro children could

not be barred because of their 
from schools attended by white
children.

This particular cocoa recipe is a
bit different than usual since it
adds honey as the sweetener, giving 
the cocoa an unusual flavor.
Topped with a dash of cinnamon
or nutmeg, and accompanied by
two or three butter cookies, it's a
real treat. Try it tonight.

declared: "We're going to make
so much noise the teachers can't
hold classes."
