SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Year $5.00—6 Months $3.00—3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) Better Look In His Mouth While an old axiom would suggest against the propriety of looking into the mouth of a gift horse; we are not so certain that such an injunction would be safe in a stream-line era in which the horse has been relegated for the automobile, the tractor and the truck. So here we are upon against divers schemes and even bargains that might subtend if the courts outlaw segregation in the school. It came to notice sometimes ago that the teachers of South Carolina are being given a scare-smoke relative to their job security if and when the court outlaws segregation in the schools. While it would not be put past those worshippers around the old segregation fires, to put on the heat of coercion in an amendment vote to deliver the schools to private interest, there might be in the offing some type of bargain offered the Negro leaders in the educational system to go along with the secessionists. The teachers well know that both groups will be benefited by the removal of the restrictions guarding segregation. They also know the serious handicap the race has undergone these many long years on a from hand to mouth policy existence Surely they will not now, in the face of such a grave crisis to which they have come into on starvation wages, wanton privation and every form of personal sacrifice, fail themselves and their posterity by allowing an appeal at the expense of their self respect to register in their obligation to their people and the nation. Knowing the pattern of those who scent an injustice in their practice, have gone ahead and made arrangements to circumvent a decision before it is made, we would warn the teachers if they cannot openly give thrift to the defeat of that amendment, not to stultify their conscience by giving comfort to those who are bent on circumventing the order of the court. The teachers were very helpful over the state in the piling up of registered voters last year. Many of them worked overtime to get themselves and their friends registered. Surely they can be counted upon now to stand upright and face with those persistent ones, the fight of a century, for the very ideals and objectives for which they have given their lives. A hint being for the wise sufficient, — when and if a gift horse is brought around, — better look in his mouth. Do You Know That? "March or Dimes funds help treat "old" cases of polio, as well as those stricken in recent years. Of these, 388 were stricken with polio 10 or more years ago. One patient, attacked by polio in 1891. was still receiving assistance pro- I vided by the March of Dimes. Every year, as new techniques of treatment are developed, more and more patients with old cases of polio are added to the number helped by your dimes. In the first four months of 1953, 6,064 polio patients were admitted to hospitals for treatment. Of these. 1.031 had their initial onset at least five years before. While adult cases of polio are on the increase, the disease still strikes heaviest among children under 10 years of age. Statistical studies, based on 1952 case reports, give the following percentage breakdowns on cases by age groupings: under five years—28 per cent: 5-9 years—26 per cent: 10-13 years—14.9 per cent; 15-19 years—9 per cent; 20 and over— 22.1 per cent. A breakdown of male cases by same age groupings shows 29.7 per cent under five; 28.5 per cent in 5-9 group; 15.4 per cent in 10-14 group: 9.1 per cent in 15-19 group: and 17.3 per cent in over 20 group. A similar breakdown for female cases shows 26 per cent under five years; 22.9 per cent, in 5-9 group: 14.2 per cent in 10-14 group: 8.9 per cent in 15-19 age group and a high of 28 per cent in the 20 or over group. Four out of five cases need help from the March of Dimes. Sneezing and coughing—"annoyances" most of us feel we could live without—cannot be achieved by respirator patients. Their noses itch and their threats tickle but they don't have enough air pressure in their lungs to sneeze or cough. Perhaps one of the greatest physical and mental strains encountered by man comes when a respirator Or rocking bed patient attempts to teach himself to breathe without artificial aid. Using his neck muscles or, if possible his diaphragm to force air into his lungs is an exhausting labor for partly paralyzed bodies. They go at it in grim determination.

Of course, many hobemakers have neither ideas nor plans. Their meals roll on day after day in the same monotonous pattern. We have said over and over but we'll say it again, the cost of food is not a yard stick to good meals Good cooking, variety and interesting service is the keynote to successful meals. Some women depend on the family for menu suggestions. They allow each family member to have his favorite food at sometime during the week. When eight year old Junior insists on hot dogs once a week, they change their method of serving them and let service add interest to the meal. A gay garnish may be the surprise feature of the menu. The hamburger patty on bun will look extra-special when arranged with spiced peaches. French-fried onion rings and sliced green pickles. The alert homemaker finds ideas everywhere in food advertise-ments in talks with friends in reading the menu carefully when dining out, from radio and televi sion programs, and of course, the food page of newspapers and magazines. A wonderful way to break the habit of monotonous meals is to make a list of all the different cuts you can recall. When you go to shop see how many more yon can add to the list. Then buy each cut before you repeat any one. When round steak takes its turn in your menu here's a recipe that's as new and as promising as the new year. Once you've tried it, you'll list it as one of "your favorite steak dishes. 2 1-2 lbs. round steak 1-2 lemon 1 medium sized onion 1 Green pepper Bottle Catsup Season steak with salt and pepper and place in a heavy skillet.

Chattanooga lists traffic improvement as its outstanding achievement of the year Second perhaps was the obtaining of the giant titanium plant valued from $30 to $50 millions in competition with Nashville for location. The Southern. Railway Co. also located new yards and started a big expansion program in Chattanooga. Nashville took major steps in the capitol redevelopment area which will clear many blocks of slums and narrow streets. They will be replaced with broad boulevards and modern buildings. A new bridge was started across the Cumberland River turning the flow of traffic into the capital area. Memphis continued its "impressive growth" In population and heavy industry Plans are under way for a $15 million municipal underground parking garage.

Jewish Mayor Is Elected In Miami The recent election of Abe Aronovitz as mayor of Miami has been cause for liberal and minority group voters to revive hopes that Miami may yet emerge as one of the liberal cities of the South. Aronovitz is a Jew and the climate of intolerance for Jews in Miami over half a dozen years ago was almost as bad as it was for Negroes. Aronovitz did not run on his religious background. He had been a serviceable citizen in Miami. He fought the Miami Transit Co. in 1952 and saved the city $250,000 a year. He authored the recent antimask ordinance in Miami striking at the Ku Klux Klan. It has become the model for similar ordinances over the South. He fathered civil service. He was responsible for the Florida Power and Light Co. refunding more than $4,000,000 to the citizens of Miami. M. RUBENSTEIN 157 BEALE Going Out Of Business SALE NO LIMIT! NO RESERVE!
