A doctor’s life is always. a

covered with aniiseptic slave
lo.ion to prevent infection.
Sunburn can cause serioui ill-
in the South who want to be friendly to Negroes, ijyt one midsummer ness as well as intense pain. If
who want to sec tlit>m obtain every right that isUuy last year seemed a parti-
afforded other citizens in this country, but they cularly busy one for me when
do not want to be the object of a “witch hunt> fontiiuious stream of patients,

IT starffrtn his backbone to .rtunist'T"^ **
ask for fHjuai'ty. Not only are such Negroes
hramled as conimunist.s, but any white person
wiio advo« ate>. calling Negro men Mister, Negro
women Miss and Mrs., or extending them» other
eunrtesies is also immediately s*t upon by bis
.iilvi rsaiics as a communist.
Tlicrefoh- Netrroes who don’t want to be
hramled as l oninninists must never seek to have
deiiKHTiiey implemented for themselves or their
race, blit Mi'cept all insults, abuses and injustices
(’onsccineiitly only those ol' unusual courage arc
willing to suffer being suspectctl or called com-
irtunists.
The Negro lias about licked tlic “social eijual-
ity” technique, and he can lick this cuHtoni'of
branding some of.our best citizens as eomninnists
merely becausi' they wish to practice demoiTaey
and Christianity, iiislead of latk about it. To
ilefeat this latest technique td’ siibotage will
exact the eoopcratiou of piiTplt and press to
expose the Ne^M'o’s iitteiiipt to become full fledg

WHAT JACKIE ROBINSON REALLY SAID
EDITOR’S NQTE: — So much out of
context did Southern daily newspapers -
quote Jackie Robinson’s statement in his
appearance before the Committee on Un-
American Activities that we are printing
below Mr. Robinson’s statement in full. We
trust many of our readers will clip the state
ment and read or have it read in their
churches, schools, clubs and other places
so that it may be truthfully know what the
popular Brooklyn baseball player actually
said.
Many Southern dailies only published the
part of Jackie’s statement attacking Paul
Robeson but deleted his attack on jim crow.

interest, I atijive/ed that I wou|d b(*wlad to do

>,.iU player. F.aseball ban been called the great
American -.port because all Americans get -their
kicks (i\it (if the game some way or other, no
matter what their ixditical or sK'ial connections
may be. So it's customary, and I siipposi» pi-ettv
■sensible, for ball nlayers to keep out of partisan
politics or any olliei- kind of argumentH ami
contests that ii+uy split their supporting public.
“Of ('ouj>*'^ will lie said ami it’s certainly
true, that the (|ucstion of Communist activity

it’s also true lliiit si>iiic of the policies of this
coiauiittee hi'vc lieconie political issues. Aiiil so,
!iatiirall\’, I ’\e liiul n great many messages come
to me Ijy .Aviic plioiie and letter, urging me not
to show up at this iiearing. And I ought to make
it plain that not all of this urf^iiig I'ajiie from
Comninnist syuipiitlii/eis. Of cohrse, most of
il did. I’lUt some came from people for -whom 1
have a lot of respect and w ho are just as opposed
to Conimnnist methods as 1 am.
“And so it isn’t very pleasant for me to find
myself in the middle of a iniblic argument. tlii;t

Old Mr. Bailey had sun

And victims of other accidents
continued to come.
It occurcil to me then that the
summer seemed to bring nwre
accidents tJian other times of
the year. With vacation time at
hand, chances of catastrophes,
both minor and more Prions
ones, seeiuito increase.
Cut, scratches and small
wounds are coxnmon these days
among children, now playing,
almost constantly out of doors
with little protective clothing.
No matter how small the
wound, it should be cleansed
me sunburn is severe, the doc
tor should be ca41ed inimediate-
ly. But the^application of a good
ointment for minor burns, or of
[>etroleum jelly, will relieve the
discomfort of ordinary sunburn.
A serious case of heart
stroke demands the prompt
attention of a doctor. While
waiting for the doctor, how
ever, a person can help the
victim of sunstroke by placing
him on his back in a cool,
shady place and putting cold
applications to the patient’s
head.
Outdoor swinuirtng accidents
are, of course, most frequent in
the summer mouths. The lives
of many victims of drowning

For all severe accidents, or

complications, the doctor should
be called immediately. But it is
well to be prepared, particular

emergencies and to knew what

I']litor, The Carolina Tiiiien
Dear Editor Austin
I have more than once read
the editorial in the ctirrent is
sue of the CAROLINA TIMES,
under the caption “The^ Ap
proaching Storm.” This article
is not stuff and soxinds off both
a welcome and a warning to
those who oppose progress, and
should be widely read, not only
with open mind, but painstak
ing understanding.
To qv\ote in part, one of the
eUilorial s many striking para-
graplis, ‘‘Instead of oowing,
Kuning and crawling his way
the Xej^ro A^’iU be given oppor
tunity as other n«u and there
after will be expected to meet
the same standard.” Ydii, imply
that the Negro should lifet ask
more tlian u man’s ch^ce, nor
be contented with any less\l
think you will agree that all tW
brakes on the wheels of gfO**
gress in the South asft not' ap
plied by white people, for there
are many Negroes in the area,
who are much more skilled as
brakesmen, than they are as
engineers. Should we not become
more alert to civic, political aiid
education obligationst For in
stance, any public gathering at
which the Negro is pv\bliciaed
as the major topic for discuss
ion, will usually find many of
the group present; while on the
other baud, if civic, industrial,
educational or political matters
are the topic, very few if any
Nc'groes seem interested. This
attitude seems to be tragic, in
view of the Negro’s status in the
iKidy politic, and show's rather
eleari.v that we are not meet-
“tfie same sta;idards” so

Editor, Carolina Times
Some four thousand years be
fore the birth of Christ; God
created earth and on this earth
he placed man whom he made ii\,
his own image and gave to him
dominion over the fish of the
sea. beasts of the earth and the
fowls of the air.
God gave man the power to
think for himself and speak his
latent convictions; But since
that span of time; maif has built
for himself a society, for which
Webster gives* the definintion:
“a bod3i.of people..”
Man was given the inalien
able right to speak for himself,
his rights and possessions.
Some one thousand four
hundred and ninety some years
ago after the birth of Christ, a
new continent w'as disQOvered,
and men flocked here in an ef
fort to seek freedom. Three
hundred years later they banned
themselves together and formed
a nation. A constitution was
drawn up, the bill of rights, and
other documents rendering to
man: li^, liberty, and the pur
suit of Imppiiless. This govern
ment was ^lled a democracy,
and freedpro was the essence of
democracy. In this government
^inen fought, labored and died
the “land of the free and the
home of the brave.” Ever
since America’s incipiency, wars
have been fought, lives have
been lost, and orators have
prated, and man has prayed to
retain the waving of the red,
white, and blue, arid the right
to life, Itberty and the pursuit
of happiness. Man, -regardless of
his color, race or previous con
dition of servitude has pledged
his life that America is, and in
tjie sight of God shall continue
to be the home of the free, the
answer to their hopes and
dreams.
The Negro lias had to fight
too, because in the timic of war,
he to was considered an Ameri
can. They shed their blood and
gave their lives for demoeraey.
They returned home, some,
crippled fathers, some, injured
brothers, some, dead heroes.
They came back to the America
and democracy that tkfT 99 ar
dently’ hoped, and so ferveptly
prayed would not be tarnished
by the scourge of dictatorship
and domination. But .they re-
turnel .to fight another war, a
war more decisive and more
vengeful than on the battlefields
of foreign lands. This wa.«» a war
against prejudice, hatred and
discrimination. The American
Negro soldier returned to a real
war for liberty, freedom and
happiness. This war was a bat
tle for his rights, a fight for
that which he had won on the
fields of foreign shores.
This is a battle that will con
tinue indefinitely. It will con
tinue until man shall eome to
the realization of the brother
hood of man and accept every
man as God intended; as his
brother.
This battle can not be won
with tanks and guns, but only
with the spirit of God and bro-
thely love. Maybe we have
abandoned the guns on our
shoidders, but the chips on our
shoulders are still maintained.
A coalition whs fonned to
fight other naitons. For whose

of war, but his enemj’ in the
prospects of peace.
As long is democracy is not
practiced iccording to defini
tion ; the Nigro will be fighting
this war.
Before a tiird world war is
