Whatever liquors that flow.

NOTICE TO MR. AND MRS. AMERICA—The Rusiian
UN delegate said, “Dr. Tobias, you should be telling, us about
how your people are treated in the
United States.” He named every
state in the Union, tellings of its
laws. Th^n he mentioned Geor-
ginia .... Dr. Tobias in his clam,
learned ways said:. “I was bom in
the state of Georgia which has such
bad laws. But today I represent
my entire country in the United
Nations. I have never said that we
don’t have states with bad laws,
nor that we do noT have states
with good laws, which are not en
forced. I do say that we have the opportunity to move for
ward and so 1 am proud to represent my country ... all 48
states.”
Then Dr. Tobias went back to his original point, but
there was dead silence from the Russians.—Eleanor Roo6b-

ttnued.”
Rev. Crawford laid that he
could fee no criteria in the find
ings of the committee to pre
vent Negroes from attending
cultural and religious events in
the auditorium.
E. T. Pullen, chairman of the
the city scool board, said he had
talked to many citizens about
the question—“some of our best
and most respected citizens—
and they have told me they feel
that the time is not quite ready.”
“Of course the time is never
ready if we never make steps
for it,” Rev. Crawford asserted.
‘We don’t know until we make
stei» in that direction. A few
Negroes have attended events at
Reynolds auditorium, and the
people who went in white came
out >vhite and those who went
in black came out black. Either
we are out ot line or we’re not
ready for progress,” he con
tinued.
What would be wrong v ith
my inviting a, few people like
the Rev. Kenneth Williams (ior-
mer alderman) Dr. Ftancis At
kins (President of Winston-Sa*
lera Teachers College) and other
^ighly respected Negro citizzens
to worship with me at the
Preaching Mission? (The
Preaching Mission is a program
held at the auditorium)
1 think we have made a lot
of progress since 1922, when this
auditorium was built. Many
things have happened to bring
atiout better relationships. We
first started out on a segregated
basis, but we have come to real
ize that culture and religion are
not confined to any race or any
particular groups. People in
every walk of life have an ap
preciation for these things.
"We have reached the poi^t
where this thing is out to be
more democratic. I assume every
person on the School Board is
a member ot a church—^if you’re
going to say you can’t worship
in the same building with us,
then it’s un-Christian. I don’t
think the School Board ought
to be a group saying you can’t
when the trends of the times say
it can, or will be, soon.”
■ Walter pointed out that the
Coliseum would be built soon
where undoubtedly some ar
rangements would be made to
take care of Negroes. He added
tliat most of the functions now
held at the Reynolds auditorium
would be held at the Coliseum.
“But in absence of the Coli
seum,” Rev. Crawford replied,
“let’s avail ourselves of what
we have.”
Mrs. McGee commented after
the vote that she felt there “are
still grounds for a lot of think
ing. I hate to see us reject this
oppertunity for better race re
lations on the basis that we are,
perhaps, a little afraid, or that
it will work itself out.”
At this point, Pullen injected:
“Oh, I think it will work itself
out.”

Hello there;
Your news reporter is again
spying in on your troops. Did
you do anything of interest last
week?
Girl Scout Troop 45 of East
End Elementary School is learn
ing First-Aid which is being
taught by Miss Dorothy Perry,
R. N. of Lincoln Hospital. Miss
Lenora Jeffries, who studied in
Mexico the past summer is sche
duled to visit and acquaint th«n
with Mexico. Mrs. E. B. Plum
mer is leader of this progressive
troop.
“The Girl Scout will leam
that Scouting means more to her
because her adult friends bring
maturity, good judgment, and
wider horizons and help her set
realistic but high goals for her
telf. She should leam also what
her enthusiasm, her zest for ad
venture, her energetic applica
tion al the trial-and-error
method do for you. It is your
privilege and your obligation
to make this relationship clear.”
Mr*. Lulu Booker, our ener

Politics in the Hayti area of
Durham started popping here
this week as the names of sev
eral well-known personalities
in tlfe fields of business and
education were being mention
ed as possible candidate for
the City Council. Although the

The names of two persons

them is seriously thinking of
attempting; the race again.
So far as the vote-getting
ability of the two men. It is be-
Iic\ed that they stand about
on an even plane. Taylor, It is
believed, would have the sup
port of those in the field of
education, while Harris would
probably draw his greatest
support from labor and the
