NO GREATER DEED Memphis was made poorer last week by the accident which took the lives of Shelby County Sheriff Edward H. Reeves and Melwyn Dan, a young insurance executive. Both devoted their time to offering protection to the public .... Sheriff Reeves, law and order.... Mr. Dan insurance. Both were fathers and husbands. Both contributed to the welt being of Memphis. Sheriff Reeves was the "boy who made good". He started in the law-enforcement as a police patrolman in 1934. Mr. Dan was so sure that he would also "make good' he resigned his position with another insurance company and started his own company recently. The men were neighbors and had mutual respect and admiration. The tragic scene was the swimming pool at the home of Sheriff Reeves. He was electrtrocuted by a faulty motor pump, used to change water in his private pool. When Mr. Dan noticed that the Sheriff was in distress, he did not hesitate to rush down in the water to his aid. Mr. Dan's only thought "no doubt" was to give aid to a friend and a neighbor in the hour of need. He too, lost his life in the same manner as Sheriff Reeves. We believe that if conditions had been reversed Sheriff Reeves would have rushd to Mr. Dan's rescue in a similar manner. A Biblical lesson is sharply pointed up here... "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." No greater deed can be asked of man. The Vice President Shows Courage And Restraint Sometimes high statesmanship and its golden glint of courage and native restraint are enhanced by sinister attempts at disaparagement and ridicule, meant for humiliation and that contempt born in perverted minds. The foremost parables of love, forgiveness and compassion were enabled to emerge in Biblical spontaniety through the suffering and self-denial of those who woud immortalize the gospels of our Lord. Vice President Richard M. Nixon was possibly accorded his greatest opportunity as an ambassador of goodwill, when he was sneered at and even made the target of some who would sink so low as to throw stones. As many as a dozen or mere stones being hurled by students at the San Marcos University would hardly commend them as eager seekers after knowledge and that understanding of the mission of goodwill seeking better international relations. Peruvian outlaws, out of harmony with constitutional standards and state customs, would have hardly been expected to engage such cowardly resorts as to hurl stones at the Vice President of our nation and to glaze a secret service attacher Certainly lovers of the bask principles of ethics through education, would hardly harmonize such antics as coming from students at the San Marcos University. But the Vice President came upon an opportunity; the opportunity of exemplifying that genuine and intense patriotic parable of the American doctrine of peace through understanding here also is the high symbol of courage and self-restraint Known only to those who place first the grand principles for which their country stands. Thusly, the occasion afforded an opportunity which would not have otherwise been in the offing; the Vice President emerges with an added laurel he never sought and doubtless, least expected. He therefore stands out as one of history's top diplomats, a high symbol of courage and that native restraint so much in demand in the rare ingredients sought in these times, as the proper leaven of this, OUR DAILY BREAD. The Stars Fall On Alabama The state of Alabama has just closed one of the hottest political campaigns in it history. There was a record number of candidates in the field for governor, numbering some fourteen. This would say that the governorship of that slate is a big stake; that as such it holds out a temptation hard to bypass. In the race for governor, Attorney General John Patterson apparently led the field of the big pile of contenders. The runnerup, George Wallace of Barbour County, (Eufaula) piled up a sizable vote and with the other candidates polling large numbers, a run-off will have to settle the race. It would appear that Patterson polled his strength in the first primary; that remains to be seen if and when a runover is resorted to in order to give a candidate the required vote for nomination. It has been said editorially by one of Alabama's leading dailies, that Tuskegee merchants felt that Patterson had contributed to the sad plight of their business. The pressure Patterson placed on the boycotters apparently accelerated the critical situation, and instead of ending the crusade, Negro business people around Tuskegee are building business and trade centers of their own. So, Patterson did not whip the Negroes in line in Macon County, and it appears that all will not be so safe in the Patterson camp, comes the runover. Macon County Representative, Sam Englehardt, who devised the plan for the complete liquidation of Macon County by slicing it in five pieces for adjoining counties, was beaten in his wager for Lieutenant Governor. Latest press reports indicate he is running a poor third. If he doesn't pick up, he will not make the runover for that post. All the candidates for governor ran on the segregation issue; each trying to show how much they were but of line with obedience lo the orders, of the highest court in the land. From reports, the Negro vote had its repercussions in this campaign where there is q field of candidates pitted in a race all avowed challengers of the court decision, there is little else for the voter to do than take the candidate who is less unreasonable.

FOWLKES Managing Editor Atlanta Daily World IT WAS ONLY a few years ago that the average Negro could not get insurance with the larger insurance companies of the land. But, with the passing of time, the increase of the life span and risk of our people, and upper state Fair Employment Practices laws, this situation does not prevail hardly anywhere. Where previously many white insurance companies among the nation s leaders refused to even consider the Negro applicant, they now make it their business to "run down" good Negro risks. Whereas in the olden days there was no prevailing opinion among less informed people that some ice was "colder" than other ice, the knowledge is growing that the Negro company has adequately cold ice. Too often many of us find ourselves with insurance programs, which at one time were the province of interpretation and operation of those long in the business, subscribed for when the know-how in salesmanship and total coverage was "somewhat behind" in our group. But now, thanks to superior training and competition, there is hardly a Negro insurance company in the upper brackets which cannot match the policy coverage mastered for decades by others. High tribute to our safe insurance companies, which dot the land from coast to coast. They are the largest bulwark in our growing economy! On Insurance Week And Our Ice By WILLIAM A.

It's A Crying Shame National Baby Week—as happy a week as the calendar holds— will be celebrated at the end of this month. Emphasis is on more and better Information for parents and parents to be on baby health, feeding and care. One of the first and most troubling problems new parents face is colic—a painful digestive upset that torments many very young, very helpless babies night after night. Fortunately, though colic is among the most distressing infant ills, it is rarely serious and almost always clears up after the first few months of life. But when a new baby clenches his fists and screams his outrage, knowledge that his trouble won't last is small comfort. Colic, doctors believe, may be due to one of several causes, including allergy to certain foods, the immaturity of a new baby's digestive system, or tension in the baby's new parents. Since anxiety mounts when parents are unable, to ease a fretful baby, colic and parental tension nearly always accompany each other. Curiously, colicky babies eat well—better than average and often with greedy gusto. Possibly their over-speedy feeding is inefficient, especially at the end of the day when they are most tired. Most colic attacks occur during the late afternoon or at night. Sometimes, extra careful burping will help the young baby expel air gulped down in hasty feeding, and reduce the chance of colic attack. During the first few months of life, the infant who escapes colic entirely is a rarity. Infrequent mild attacks are not a serious problem, but nightly bouts of pain and screaming may be the worst trial the new family faces. Fortunately, there are ways of easing colic Rocking or walking a mildly fussy infant may be enough to soothe him. Changes in diet are occasionally effective; your doctor may wish to suggest feeding modifications to ease an infant's woe. Drugs are available if colic is severe. Bonadoxin drops, for example, Were reported remarkably effective against colic and vomiting in young patients treated by Dr. Harry R. Litchfield, Director of Pediatrics at Women's Hospital, New York. The pleasantlyflavored drops contain a medication to relax the baby's stomach and vitamin Be, for preventing nervous system upsets. If your baby has colic — ask your doctor for help. The whole family will breathe (and sleep) easier if the youngest's voice is not raised in colicky fury.

"Teacher" or "rabbi." the equivalent of our title "professor," was the principal term of addreses applied to Jesus Christ by His Disciples. The crowd also called Jesus "rabbi" oh occasion; and even His enemies so addressed Him. As a Master Teacher, threfore, Jesus employed the three most up-to-date teaching methods of His day— namely, the Sermon, the Parable, and Poem. "The Sermon on the Mount" is perhaps the best-known example of the sermon preached by our Lord. 2. The Parable method not only included so-called story parables, but also, the doom song, aphorism. allegory, and acted parable, all of which Jesus employed as a Master Teacher. There are some fiftythree to sixty-five parables. 3. The Poem reflects the great ability the Master had in this area of teaching. Semitic poetry is characterized by four aspects, namely, by rhyme, rhythm, parallelism, and word play. The phenomenon of parallelism, however, is not so commonly found in English poetry although it is not entirely absent. The word refers to a sort of balanced structure between the two halves of a line or verse, or between verses, in the original Aramaic which Jesus spoke, as well as in other Semitic languages. Semitic scholars have distinguished of least the following five types of parallelism: (1) Synonymous. Ps. 15:1; Matt. 7:7. (2) Antonymous. Ps. 40:6; Matt. 4:4; Deut. 8:3. (3) Synthetic. Ps. 110:1-2; Luke 6:20. (4) Step Parallelism. Ps. 51:15-17; Matt. 10:40. (5) Stoprophic Parallelism. Mark 2:21.

AFRICA 1958 Shame on that Negro who wants to ignore and forget his origin and his ancestral connection with Africa. It is like a man trying to forget who de was last year instead of seeking to improve on his last year self. He is to be pitied, like a victim of amnesia who has lost memmory of who he is and where he came from. The upstart in expressing his lack of interest in Africa by saying. "I haven't lost anything in Africa," has never dreamed of the depth of Ignorance lie expresses. All he had he leaf in Africa. He lost so much, mainly his respect, which is the reason he has noting now. If he is to ever find it, or regain it, it must be done through Africa. Of all the people in the world, the American Negro should be the student well-versed in Africa. Yet, everybody except him is concerned and exploring, and exploiting it. The American Negro is ashamed of Africa and is slow to recognize it as the place of his origin. He knows nothing of its glories and wonders and the greatness of Its people. Our grave need is to know Africa, her past, present and future. Nobody has more to gain in Africa than the American Negro, not even the natives themselves. Any group of people who cannot, point to a mother, land, ruled by thenown people, is lost at sea without a compass, and without hope. They are at the mercy of changing and unpredictable waves. They are disrespected and looked upon as objects of contempt. That has been the plight of the American Negro since he first set foot on American soil. And the wonders why. The answer is the lack of a mother land ruled by his people. But, thank God, the long and dark night has passed and the sun has gloriously arisen on a new day; yet it is still the early morning hours. Free and Independent countries and governments are being born. This gives the American Negro a new emancipation which means as much, if not more, than his freedom from American body slavery. This new emancipation sets mind, soul and spirit at liberty. As stated in another article, Nigeria is engaged in taking the final steps to independence by April 12, 1960. This country has been reborn and a new spirit and a new life floods the country. I cannot help but think of the great contrast I found here in 1945 when I made my first trip for the Baptist Foreign Mission Board. There is no comparison. Everything is contrasts. The people are not trying to change their color. They are proud and satisfied to be Africans, black Africans, but intelligent, free and progressive Africans. Here in Africa the sought and denied respect the American Negro has been seeking is found. Respect is something you cannot buy or force. Let us rerobe ourselves in it, appreciate it, and wear it well and in dignity and thanks to God.

OVERHOLSER'S new Western thriller © 1956, 1957. Wayne D. Overholser. From the novel published by The Macmillan Co. Distributed by King Features Syndicate. ASHADOW was lifted from Buhl the day Vic roll died. I felt it that evening before Kitsy and I went up to our room; I fell it again when we went down for it again when we went down saw it in the faces of people in the lobby and in the dining room, especially the jurors. I sensed it in their voices and the way they laughed. Yesterday there had been no laughter. After we finished breakfast, I waited in the lobby while Kitsy went up to our room. Alec Brady. the mayor, came out of the bar, smiling as he moved toward me. He said, "The law says they've got to finish the trial, but it'll be just a formality." "I hope we'll De able to get home tonight," I said. "We've all got work that's pushing us." "You'll be headed home before noon, Dave," he said confidently. "And another thing: you won't have any more trouble with Rafter 3. I know Cameron Runyan. All this strong-arm stuff was Toll's idea. After what's happened, Runyan won't send another man like Toll to ramrod Rafter 3. He couldn't, find one anyhow. When the Lord made Toll, He threw the mold away." Just as Brady had said, the trial was little more than a formality. Apparently SI Beam had left town. At least, he wasn't in the courtroom. Daniel Judson put Bess on the stand, then Gil, and finally Frank Dance. They testified the butchered animal was a Diamond 8 steer. Loyd Mack's cross-examination was perfunctory. Even as lie asked questions, he had a look of a man who knew he was beaten. Judson's and Mack's final arguments were brief. So were the judge's instructions to the jury. It wasn't out five minutes when it brought in a "Not guilty" verdict. We stood up and cheered, the townspeople as well as those from the park. We shook hands with Bess, who acted as if she had known all the time it would be this way. Kitsy threw her arms around Bess and kissed her and cried a little. She told Bess we were married, and Bess, surprisingly, accepted it without argument. We were all in a hurry to get home, but Kitsy and I had to go to the bank. I asked Frank to fetch my horse, and sent Kip to the livery stable to get a horse for Kitsy. We weren't in the bank more than a few minutes. Judson Dad prepared the papers. I borrowed $8,000, enough to pay Bess for her half of Anchor, and still leave me all I'd need to return the $100 I'd borrowed from Frank and keep us going until we sold our steers in the fall. As we left the bank, Bess said: "Gil and I are getting married this afternoon, but we'll stay in Buhl until I get my clothes. Kitsy, I want you to pack, them up and send Shorty to town with them tomorrow." "Why don't you come to the park and pack them the way you want them packed?" Kitsy said. "You can tell everybody goodbye." "No," Bess said. "I'm not going back to the park. I don't want to tell anybody good-bye." She smiled at Gil. "We're starting a new life. We'll never look back, will we?" "No," Gil agreed. "We're looking ahead." When we reached the hotel, Kitsy ran up to her room to change to her riding clothes. Suddenly GU turned to me. He said, as if it had Just then occurred to him. "Dave. I won't be seeing Ma. Tell her goodbye for me, will you?" "I'll tell her," I said. "Write to her this time." Bess said: "He will. I'll see that he does." Just then Kitsy came out of the hotel. She kissed Bess, and then Gil. She said. "I'd like to stay for the wedding—" Bess interrupted. "No, you go along." And that was the end of that. I didn't kiss Bess and she didn't offer to kiss me. I shook hands with her, then Gil, and helped Kitsy into the saddle. I mounted, and we headed for the park, the rest of them falling in behind us. In the late afternoon we splashed across Buck Creek, and Dillon's Park lay before us. Funny how memories rush back into your mind at certain times. This was such a time, and I knew Kitsy and I faced a new life, just as Bess had said it would be for her and Gil. I was remembering the first day we had seen Dillon's Park. My mother had come against her will and Gil bad been sullenly silent; but there had been a look, on my father's face I would never, forget as he looked at his land. This was his dream come true; this would be his home, and here his roots would go down. I suppose the same expression must have been on my face. Kitsy leaned toward me, her voice very low when she said: "Dave, I know how you feet We're borne, but do you know how I feel?" "No. I guess not," 1 said. "Happy," she said. "Just awfully happy." We reached the end of our lane. Luke Jordan called, "Look out for us one of these nights." They rode on, all but Kip, who went on up our lane, and Frank Dance, who reined up. He wasn't a philosophical man, of a particularly thoughtful one, but now I saw he" had something, on his mind, so Kitsy and I waited. "Everything's changed," he said, "one way you look at it. Changed the minute Vic Toll died, and it changed some more when the jury let Bess go. Changed for me right then cause I've been in a sweat, thinking that if they sent Bess up I'd be next." "Brady says Runyan will never hire another man like Toll" I said. "Hope not," Frank said, "but whether he does or not," geography ain't changed a bit You're still sitting on the anxious seat cause you're here at the head of the park." "I'm not worried, Frank." I said. "We found something out yesterday. We worked together, and if it ever comes up again, we'll keep on working together." Frank nodded. "That's right. I reckon geography ain't so important. I'm thinking it don't make no difference what Runyaa throws at us. We'll handle It. We've got him whipped." That's the way I figure it," I said. "Say, I'll bring that money I borrowed—" "Any time, Dave, any time," he said and rode away. Kitsy and I turned our horses up the lane. I saw my mother in the yard, facing the sun, her hand shading her eyes. Then we waved at her and she waved back. Kitsy asked, "What more could we ask, Dave?" "Nothing," I said. "You can't ask for anything more when you've got it all." THE END CHAPTER 36 WAYNE D. OVERHOLSER'S new Western thriller © 1956, 1957. Wayne D. Overholser.

"I hope we'll De able to get home tonight," I said. "We've all got work that's pushing us." "You'll be headed home before noon, Dave," he said confidently. "And another thing: you won't have any more trouble with Rafter 3. I know Cameron Runyan. All this strong-arm stuff was Toll's idea. After what's happened, Runyan won't send another man like Toll to ramrod Rafter 3. He couldn't, find one anyhow. When the Lord made Toll, He threw the mold away." Just as Brady had said, the trial was little more than a formality. Apparently SI Beam had left town. At least, he wasn't in the courtroom. Daniel Judson put Bess on the stand, then Gil, and finally Frank Dance. They testified the butchered animal was a Diamond 8 steer. Loyd Mack's cross-examination was perfunctory. Even as lie asked questions, he had a look of a man who knew he was beaten. Judson's and Mack's final arguments were brief. So were the judge's instructions to the jury. It wasn't out five minutes when it brought in a "Not guilty" verdict. We stood up and cheered, the townspeople as well as those from the park. We shook hands with Bess, who acted as if she had known all the time it would be this way. Kitsy threw her arms around Bess and kissed her and cried a little. She told Bess we were married, and Bess, surprisingly, accepted it without argument. We were all in a hurry to get home, but Kitsy and I had to go to the bank. I asked Frank to fetch my horse, and sent Kip to the livery stable to get a horse for Kitsy. We weren't in the bank more than a few minutes. Judson Dad prepared the papers. I borrowed $8,000, enough to pay Bess for her half of Anchor, and still leave me all I'd need to return the $100 I'd borrowed from Frank and keep us going until we sold our steers in the fall. As we left the bank, Bess said: "Gil and I are getting married this afternoon, but we'll stay in Buhl until I get my clothes. Kitsy, I want you to pack, them up and send Shorty to town with them tomorrow." "Why don't you come to the park and pack them the way you want them packed?" Kitsy said. "You can tell everybody goodbye." "No," Bess said. "I'm not going back to the park. I don't want to tell anybody good-bye." She smiled at Gil. "We're starting a new life. We'll never look back, will we?" "No," Gil agreed. "We're looking ahead." When we reached the hotel, Kitsy ran up to her room to change to her riding clothes. Suddenly GU turned to me. He said, as if it had Just then occurred to him. "Dave. I won't be seeing Ma. Tell her goodbye for me, will you?" "I'll tell her," I said. "Write to her this time." Bess said: "He will. I'll see that he does." Just then Kitsy came out of the hotel. She kissed Bess, and then Gil. She said. "I'd like to stay for the wedding—" Bess interrupted. "No, you go along." And that was the end of that. I didn't kiss Bess and she didn't offer to kiss me. I shook hands with her, then Gil, and helped Kitsy into the saddle. I mounted, and we headed for the park, the rest of them falling in behind us. In the late afternoon we splashed across Buck Creek, and Dillon's Park lay before us. Funny how memories rush back into your mind at certain times. This was such a time, and I knew Kitsy and I faced a new life, just as Bess had said it would be for her and Gil. I was remembering the first day we had seen Dillon's Park. My mother had come against her will and Gil bad been sullenly silent; but there had been a look, on my father's face I would never, forget as he looked at his land. This was his dream come true; this would be his home, and here his roots would go down. I suppose the same expression must have been on my face. Kitsy leaned toward me, her voice very low when she said: "Dave, I know how you feet We're borne, but do you know how I feel?" "No. I guess not," 1 said. "Happy," she said. "Just awfully happy." We reached the end of our lane. Luke Jordan called, "Look out for us one of these nights." They rode on, all but Kip, who went on up our lane, and Frank Dance, who reined up. He wasn't a philosophical man, of a particularly thoughtful one, but now I saw he" had something, on his mind, so Kitsy and I waited. "Everything's changed," he said, "one way you look at it. Changed the minute Vic Toll died, and it changed some more when the jury let Bess go. Changed for me right then cause I've been in a sweat, thinking that if they sent Bess up I'd be next." "Brady says Runyan will never hire another man like Toll" I said. "Hope not," Frank said, "but whether he does or not," geography ain't changed a bit You're still sitting on the anxious seat cause you're here at the head of the park." "I'm not worried, Frank." I said. "We found something out yesterday. We worked together, and if it ever comes up again, we'll keep on working together." Frank nodded. "That's right. I reckon geography ain't so important. I'm thinking it don't make no difference what Runyaa throws at us. We'll handle It. We've got him whipped." That's the way I figure it," I said. "Say, I'll bring that money I borrowed—" "Any time, Dave, any time," he said and rode away. Kitsy and I turned our horses up the lane. I saw my mother in the yard, facing the sun, her hand shading her eyes. Then we waved at her and she waved back. Kitsy asked, "What more could we ask, Dave?" "Nothing," I said. "You can't ask for anything more when you've got it all."
