SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Year $5.00—6 Months $3.00—3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) The FBI Can And Will Do The Job Not only the members of his family, church and racial group, but the lovers of justice and Democratic procedure all over the world welcome such a gesture as assumed by the FBI in taking over in the investigation of the strange murder of the Reverend G. W. Lee, militant Belzoni, Miss., minister and civic leader. Rev. Lee met a foul death on May 7th, under mysterious circumstances and sufficient evidence was turned in by the public to warrant a full and sweeping investigation by the FBI. It can never be a contribution to any civilization or country in a reach for Democratic rule and a lasting peace, when a citizen is slain while upon the mission of legitimate duties. The state and the country could not afford for the blood of an upright Christian citizen who had labored through the years for the betterment of living conditions in his community, to be on their hands. Being engaged just now in an all out reach for a world brotherhood through which it is hoped that a peace plan will be implemented, it is indeed unfortunate that we have within our bounds those who would render a disservice to their own cause by which their tax monies are seeking defense for our fortifications. Our land is the cradle bed of Democracy; it has spent billions for defense and the reclamation of old countries in the old world that succumbed to spurious doctrines. This must not now be nullified by those hidden enemies of Democracy engaged in wilful murder of law-abiding citizens. It is generally hoped that the FBI will handle this case in a manner that such a practice of murder as has been assigned to Mississippi will be uninviting; that citizens will not be thusly intimidated and ruthlessly killed because they persist in a government regulated by law and implemented for and by the consent of the governed. The FBI can do the job; it will do the job, we hope! Iowa, The Corn Stats Drops Her Corn The state of Iowa, according to latest press reports and editorial comments, on the motion of her governor is dropping for the present at least that motto or slogan embellishing her auto license plate. This move reminds a few of this generation of an economic measure of the late President Calvin Coolidge, in which he asked the Post Office Department to drop the dark stripe that made somewhat a flag resemblance on mail bags. It was reported later that this netted the Department such a huge savings that the stripe has not since reappeared on mail bags. Silent Cal at least allowed the flag to keep its stripes and colors. But they say the governor is dropping the motto in order to remove any hindrance to the police officers in reading the digits on the tag. It is to be regretted that some other states have decided to do the same thing. Before we purchased our present machine, a long hard ride was made amusing by the reading on the tail lights of cars that whizzed past us such slogans as "Sunshine State," "Sunflower State", "Palmetto State" and "Water Wonderland." These read like lines of poetry running through an epic and many suggestions of educational value have woven their silken threads along the high and by-ways. We take the position that license plates were made for more than the benefit of traffic cops and police-patrols, or those whose assignments require them to get rid of so many tickets per day. Maybe the suggestion to remove the slogan also hedges around the removal of any possible sentimentalities that the slogan might convey which would divert the officer's attention from the numerals on the plate. There are still others who feel that license plates are not made for the convenience of traffic cops alone; it is felt that there are thousands of law abiding citizens whose motives might be other than encountering the police. They love gay color schemes, educational suggestive slogans and such pictures as Pelicans on the Louisiana plates, peaches on the Georgia plates and oranges and coconut palms on the Florida plate. Are we drifting into a cold world of figures and indentures for the purpose of police identification where traffic courts, audits and tax extractions are to make life monotonous? In our times we have had long-horned steers and Georgic peaches on our license plates and we have brushed up against some pretty illiterate traffic cops and they never did fail in getting the figures correct by which we answered the roll call before "his honor" to pay our dues. A famous New York daily newspaper would not take o million for "All the news that's fit to print." We all would lose a lot of fun if firms would drop such slogans and mottoes as "I'd walk a mile for a Camel," "Good to the last drop," "A citizen wherever we serve," "When you fly eastern you fly with confidence" and "Don't cuss — phone us." Yes, Iowa drops its "Corn State" — some moonshine country here's your chance to pick it up! To the Editor: Here are my views on segregation, the thing that is causing so much confusion in the South. I say this: If segregation is right, why just have "Half-Way Segregation?" If it is right, segregation should be "complete." When I say "complete," I mean everything should be set up as the present soon-to-be abolished Southern school system. Such as these examples. 1. Separate but equal streets, streets running side by side one for whites, one for Negroes. Example, two main streets, two Beale Streets, two Popular Avenues, etc. This would include separate but equal sidewalks also. 2. Separate but equal highways. Same pattern as streets. 3. Separate but equal department and grocery stores. 4. Separate but equal zoos. This would end the "oneday" complaints 5 Separate but equal bridges, as two Memphis arid Arkansas Bridges. 6. Negroes, should not be allowed to save whites in distress and vice versa. 7. And how about a separate but equal Heaven, or is it going absolutely too far to say that our fin al abode should even be segregated or that it already is segregated? If integration is right, lets go all the way with it. The system that would be the less costly and would fit "naturally" into things would easily be the more logical system.

REVIEWING THE NEWS By WILLIAM GORDON Managing Editor, Atlanta Daily World Cities are like individuals. All have different and distinct personalities. Some are moody, others are friendly. Asheville, North Carolina may be judged by the latter. Once you visit the city, and taste of its atmosphere, you can never forget it, Sitting high in the mountains of North Carolina, Asheville seems perpetually drenched in the fragrance of "Mother Nature." The people there seem to reflect what nature has endowed her with, a peaceful atmosphere. A statement issued by the Asheville City School Board of Education a few days ago makes one feel that flowers, beautiful surroundings, the kind of air one breathes and the water one drinks, all add to the climate of thinking of the individual person. The Negro population of the city is roughly 25 percent of the total, but this seems to have no adverse effect on the thinking of the whites in the town. Public school officials have agreed to move "with measured steps in the direction of ultimate compliance with the supreme law of the land," the recent High Court ruling. The board is optimistic in its stand, saying that it expects the white and Negro people to go along with its action. No one has any doubt that this will not be done, judging the kind of people, who live in Asheville, and what has taken place in past years. The stand by the board brings back memories of several visits to the city during the early "forties." "He was one of the truly great Americans," a white man said. "I got to know Booker T. Washington when my family took me to New York while still a youngster. I shall never forget his speech. He stood there, before more than 20,000 people, mostly while, pleading for equality. I was convinced even then that men cannot be judged on the basis of color, but character and ability." One could see that age was creeping upon this man who was still active in the field of education in Asheville. Little by little, he was going about the city raising money for Negro education. There is no telling that the influence of this speech by Booker T. Washington and the feeling this lone individual had for mankind had effective impact on the thinking of the people of Asheville. My experience with a nurse in one of the hospitals there reflected the same kind of reasoning. For years, the nurse had been interested in getting more trained Negroes in the field of nursing. She was disturbed because so few Negro doctors came to the city of Asheville and she wondered why they could not get the training. Out of her meager earnings she had helped to send several Negro girls to school. My talk with a laundry owner indicated that the people of Asheville wanted to do something about the wage level of Negro workers. This man was leading a fight to get better pay and better working conditions for the employees. And there were others who worked quietly without fanfare to obtain equality. Sitting there, quiet and serene in the mountains, among the clouds Of North Carolina, Asheville has acquired a distinct personality, a personality with a soul and a feeling for humanity. Sitting there for years, away from the toil and the drudge of political self-interest and bigotry, the city has produced a group of people who look to the future and not to the past. Who knows? Asheville, perhaps after all, may hold the turning point to the thinking of the South. At least the School Board has decided to "Move forward with measured steps."

But he warned in "slang phrase:" "You do not yet have it made" Then in the words of Sir Winston Churchill during World War II. "This is not the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning." The President of Meharry warned that the greatest service by those who had something to do with the training of the graduates was to round a note of caution "in the optimism and exuberance natural to this period " Dr. West fails to go along with the so-called "prophets of gloom" who believe that ours is an age of confusion and that we belong to a lost generation." He added that "others with a kind of blind optimism, point out the fear of atomic energy with which people today are obsessed will pass away as did their fear of the invention of gun powder and the appearance of firearms." Dr. West added that "Man is to be sure, a worrying animal.

Dr. West said the researcher has provided the tools and the practicing physician, trained to a high level of competence, put these tools to use. The President of Meharry cited the achievements of science during the past half century, saying that more has been done in the area of advancement of science and development than what one would find on the negative side. Looking at the total picture of things, he said, "certainly, the positive elements would seem to far outweigh the negative values in the world today." The eminent scientist warned however that there is one area in which "our modern world has made little progress—that is in the field of human relations." Dr. West added that with all the scientific know-how and achievement, men still have not yet learned how to get along with each other. "What a tremendous force for good you can exert in world affairs if you Bee clearly," Dr. West said "the problem ahead and do your share In finding the answer." Such a job cannot be done by the method of medical science, he stated. He also said it cannot be done with technology or radar or chemistry by deadly instruments of warfare. Dr. West called for the use of logic and ethics, with philosophy and religion. Dr. West concluded that, "never before have men needed, both in their individual and collective lives, a profound and abiding religious faith." Steel output in May set 2-year high record.

Made the Way - with By LEODA GAMMON Of all things of life which affect human welfare none is more important than food. And of all the kinds of food, none is more important than milk. Since June is National Dairy Month, there is no better subject for discussion. Milk is outstanding in food nutritive value because it contains some of all the essentials known to be required for good nutrition and health. Milk proteins are high in quality, milk fat favors growth, and milk sugar, lactose, is a matchless, carbohydrate. Milk is our richest source of calcium and it furnishes other important minerals. It is an outstanding source or riboflavin and vitamin A supplies other vitamins also milk is pleasing to the taste and readily digestible. By the way, of special interest to men is the fact that calcium helps the heart muscles and of special interest to women is the fact that riboflavin helps the complexion. Milk, like many other foods, while inherently high in quality, must be carefully safeguarded from its source supply until its final use by the human body. Milk, that is perfectly safe can be made unsafe in the home if it is not properly cared for just as any other food can be made unsafe if not properly cared for. Records show that more disease outbreaks are traced to water than to milk and several times more are traced to otherfoods. The story of safe milk is one of record progress in public health. The continuation of that progress is a challenge to the dairy industry, to public health workers, and to consumers alike. The way milk can blend in with other foods makes it a "natural" in meal plans from breakfast to evening snacks. It is a boom to the careful homemaker in using leftovers. Small amounts of protein foods such as meat, fish and poultry can be extended and made more tasty by adding milk thus adding to eating enjoyment Most Of the tasty sauces used with vegetables have as their base a cream sauce made with milk. Cream soups, popular with all ages, also are milk based. Of course, of all the ways milk is used, one of the most popular is as a beverage. Here is an example of its use in a cooling summer drink 6 cups milk 4 tablespoons sugar 1 1-2 teaspoons peppermint extract Maraschino cherries 5—6 drops green food coloring few grains salt 1 pint vanilla ice cream Pineapple chunks To cold milk, add Sugar, peppermint, food coloring, and salt, stirring to blend. Pour into cold glasses, top with vanilla ice cream and garnish with maraschino cherries and pineapple chunks on sippers.

MY WEEKLY SERMON Text: Read Proverbs 16:32. The wise man of old said, "He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city." Again he said 'He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down and without walls" Many times we can't make oursevles behave that is it seems we can't but we can. It seems we have more trouble conquering ourselves than any one or any thing else. I have more trouble with the fellow who wears my hat, my shirt, my shoes than anyone else in the world and that fellow is I. Self-control is an acquired art that comes through cultivation. Our age has become one that revolts against psychological or corporal restraints. There are many who advise against tolerating inhibitions of any kind Complete freedom of thought and action are frequently advocated. They tell us to turn the children loose and let them do as they please lest they be inhibited and have their personalities crippled. This is modern but remember, a child is like a canoe, the canoe cannot make head-way without paddling. The lack of self control can become very destructive to one's self as well as to others The legend of Rip Van Winkle reveals that his wife died of a bursted blood vessel when she become enraged with a peddler. The conquest of self involves the conquest of one's tongue, one's temper, one's temptations, one's temporal interests. If we control ourselves we won't have any trouble with others. Lose your head and you lose the battle. You lose every thing. The person who cannot control himself is one who is defenseless and one who is a slave to his own weaknesses. Let us pray for more strength with which to conquer ourselves, and we will have made progress in conquering all of our enemies. Frequently we are our worst enemies. There is one who will aid us in our effort to control self and that one is Jesus. With Christ we can win any battle our self. Simply ask Him to help you.
