The Answer Is Yes
The U. S. News and World Report, whose rock-ribbed conservative 
editor, David Lawrence, has never reconciled himself to
the Twentieth Century, asked the question: "Do Mixed Schools
Really Work?"
The magazine purports to review what has happened in
the Twentieth Century, asks the question: "Do Mixed Schools:
desegregated.
Obviously not in sympathy with the Supreme Court's decision, 
the magazine never quite answers the question, but by in-1
nuendo seeks to create the impression that everything is not going 
so well with the integration program in Washington.
Much is made of the intellectual differences between white
and colored pupils, as if science and history had not long ago
proved that no race has a monopoly on intelligence.
Then there is the absurd business of trying to prove that
there is a language difference, inferring that colored children
and teachers speak a tongue foreign to those who understand!
ordinary English.
And of course, there is the usual charge that colored children
to cite a single statistic to support this moldy lie.
to cite a single statistic to support this moldly lie.
And, of course, there is the usual charge from unnamed
teachers at unnamed schools that the first year of integration was
a "nerve-wracking experience" . . . constant tension and an everpresent 
fear that a simple incident might touch off an explosion."
This is so much hogwash and anybody with half the intelligence 
David Lawrence is supposed to possess knows it.
Even he had to concede that all fears proved groundless.
Actually in the public schools, integration is no new and un- tried thing.
Thirty of the 48 states have had mixed schools since free,
public schools were introduced in this country almost a century
ago.
New York and Chicago, with more colored children than the
states of Mississippi and South Carolina combined, know integraled 
schools do work.
They would not have any other kind.

Why Not A Sane And Safe Fourth Of July?
The estimated number of people that will lose their lives
over the weekend, which includes the Fourth of July, is alarming.
If the people would observe all traffic regulations and all safety
rules there is no necessity for so much killing during these weekend 
holidays.
Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence,
the immortal George Washington blew into the documents the
breath of national life and today we have in America a government 
of the people, for the people and by the people. This holiday,
known as Independence Day represents the day that all the
necessary papers were signed to give the USA their freedom. The
papers were signed in 76 July 3rd, but the next day, which was
the 4th, was recognized as a legal holiday and that practice has
Kept up since that time. It is perfectly natural for the American
people to feel elated and happy over gaining for themselves
and their posterity their freedom.
Next Monday the Amreican people will again pause to celebrate 
Independence Day. In their celebration, far too many people 
resort to doing silly or foolish things. That's why the prophets
are prophesying that an alarming number of people will lose
their lives over this holiday celebration. Automobile accidents and
drowning are the chief causes for so many deaths during the
holidays. Why not play it safe — drive at a reasonable rate of
speed — don't drive if you are drinking — don't take the highways 
of our land and the streets of our city for a race track to see
how fast you can go which results in the alarming number of
killings. I can understand the temptation of being on the highway 
and you are sitting under the steering wheel of a new car
and as far as your dim eyes can see is nothing but highway, you
will unconsciously many times drive a heap too fast. Drive your
car so it will be under control at all times. When you are driving
too fast to control your cat you become a reckless driver and a
potential killer.
The Prophets are also saying that many people will also
lose their lives by drowning during the holiday weekend If you
are going to judge the future by the post, we will have to agree
with the prophets of doom as it relates to drowning. A few sim ple
rules would probably help to solve the drowning problem: (1)
Don't go in swimming if you can't swim, (2) Don't jump in the
Water when you are too hot, cramping results from that type of
thing, (3) Don't drink alcohol liquors and then jump into the lake,
river or swimming pool, it's a dangerous practice. Many people
are known to have lost their lives by such things.
Suppose we disappoint the Prophets who are prophesying
that so many people will lose their lives over the holiday weekrules 
of traffic and safety. If we do that, the estimated number
that will lose their lives by the prophets will not come true. So
let all of us adopt a personal resolution and religiously adhere to
if that on this Fourth of July in the year of out Lord nineteen
hundred and fifty-five that we are going to observe all the rules
and regulations, the estimated number of deaths was cut more
than half. Then all of us can breathe a sigh of relief that we observed, 
a sane and safe Fourth of July in 1955.

Alleged Ex-KKK
Member To Probe
Subversives
John E.
Wood of Canton, Ga., former chair
man of the House UnAmerican
Activities Committee, and an alleged 
one time member of the Ku
Klux Klan, will perhaps soon sit
in judgement on other people
charged with subversive activities.
The Senate Judicial Sub-committee 
voted unanimously to confirm 
the nomination of Wood to
be a member of the Subversive Activities 
Control Board and the full
committee is scheduled to vote on
it today (Monday).
The sub-committee voted behind

a member of the KKK.

America To Get
New Resources
America by 1975 will be a land
to which natural resources and
minerals will be taken from portions 
of the globe now unexplored.
The National Association of
Manufacturers cites an article by
David Sarnoff, chairman of the
Radio Corporation of America, in
a recent issue of Fortune Magazine 
which shows the things that
lie ahead of this country.
"Fresh water, purified from
the briny seas, will enable us to
make deserts flourish and to open
to human habitation, immense
surfaces of the globe now sterile
or inaccessible. Tidelands and the
ocean floors beyond, already being
tapped for oil, will be increasingly 
mined for other material and
harvested for chemical arid food
resources," Mr. Sarnoff writes.

"I like the extra
taste...the 
taste...of Luckies'
toasted tobacco"
 says TV editor Arden Hill. 
Luckies  taste better, for a number of reasons.
First of all, Lucky Strike means fine tobacco.
Then, as Arden Hill appreciates, that tobacco is
 "—the famous Lucky Strike
process—tones up Luckies' good-tasting tobacco
to make it taste even better ... cleaner, fresher,
smoother. Enjoy better taste yourself—light up
a Lucky. You'll say it's the best-tasting cigarette
you ever smoked!

Robbery Suspect
Taken Off Bus By
Police Officers
A
22-year old Roxbury, Mass., man
last week was bodily taken off a
bus in Greenwich, Con., by the
local police there as a suspect in
the $8,000 robbery of the Progressive 
Credit Union two weeks ago.
Underworld contacts of the Boston 
Police supplied the information
that the suspect would board a
midnight bus in Boston and leave
for New York. Making sure their
quarry had taken the bus, Boston
police alerted authorities along the
route and then issued, pick-up orders. 

The suspect was arraigned in
Roxbury district court the following 
day.
The holdup of the credit union,
which has assets in excess of $250,
000 was the second such robbery in
the last two years.
It is noted the names of some
of the teams are being carried instead 
of the names of the players
due to the fact that the complete
