Herman H. Riddick and two CI
AA delegates from NCC are jour
neying to Washington to receive
the conference's official designa
tion of the 1953 grid pennant.
This is a mere formality, 'how
ever, as conference statistician
John 9. McLendon, Jr., of Hamp
ton Institute, Va.. has already re
leased the ratings that give NCC
25,00 in the Dickinson system.
Closest runners-up were Virginia

ment.
This took place last week, as
the Postmaster General officially
decreed the separation of Wash
ington, D. C. as the local point of
ail U. S. Postal operations. Here
after, regional controls will dictate
the policy of the department, witn
Washington being called upon as
a court of last resort.
President, i.'obb was an honor
guest at the Taft Auditorium meet
ing, along with Ray McNamara, 1
president of the National Asso
ciation of Postmasters; and Law
rence P. Jones, president of the
National League of District Post
masters. This is a .signal honor
and indicative of the high esteem,
in which the NAPE is held bv top ;
brass of the Postal Service.
While in Cincinnati, President
Cobb was also honor guest at a
banque sponsored by District Six :
of the NAPE, headed by dynamic
Eugene K. Burton of Cincinnati.
The banquet was held at the :
Manse Hotel, and was also attended
by Robert G Phillip? of Louis-:
vi'le, Ky„ new president of IT'- '
triet 6 of the NAPE. President!
Cobb introduced his District offi- j
cers to their subordinates offici
ally at this affair.
Here ir Washington, the NAPE I
was counting itself fortunate to j
nave a man of President Cobb's I
qualifications and background in j
Alliance affairs, to take over the'
mantle of the late Ashby B. Carter
of Chicago, who died October 28, |
after a brief illness.
Mr. Cobb is a pioneer in vari- j
cut; types of NAPE activities, which I
have brought the Alliance into:
high repute with postal officials.:
In 1942 he pioneered in seeing the j
possibilities of Executive Order, 1

tices order, while he was presi- j
dent of the Washington branch, j
He was one of the earliest ex- j
ponents cf the adoption of work-!
ers’ education techniques in the
NAPE, a phase which has served
the Alliance well in cementing
with P. O. management, and re
lationships advantageous --
suited in nationwide supervisory
promotions for Negro postmen.

TWICE-TOLD TALE
In the dim and distant past;
when 1 had eight o’clock classes |
to make, my father never got up
until nine o'clock. That is, until
summer came. Then he invariably
arose at six. Worse, he insisted
that I get up also.
After I was on my own. I looked
forward to an unbroken saan
of getting up at. regular, specified
times on certain mornings, and ly
ing slug-a-bed on certain other
mornings. Little did I then realize
the full and horrible truth of
the saying that history repeats it- j
self.
From Monday through Friday ! j

covers, bounce him on the. floor
five or six times to wake him up,
bellow at. him twenty-five times
to get his clothes on, keep prod
ding him to eat his breakfast.,
fight him into his hat and coat,
drag him to the car by his heels,
shove him out of the car at nurse
ry school, and then spend the next
hour trying to calm my shattered
nerves.
Every parent knows the rest.
Come Saturday and Sunday, he

comes and sticks his bright, morn
ing face in my haggard face and
roars, “Get up. Father, and play
with me.” Naturally, T. refuse to
open .my eyes. So, he stomps a
round his mother’s side and starts
chanting, “f would like my break
