RE-ELECTED TO NAACF
POST
Congratulations to Mr. W. R.
Saxon who was re-elected vice-
president of the NAACP State
Conference at its recent confab
in Rocky Mount.
Mr. Saxon and Mrs. Ii. B.
Michael were delegates to the
state meeting from the local
branch.
Here’s hoping they have
brought back enough inspiration
to help stimulate at least the
freedom-loving Negroes in this
city to push forward on the local
leveL
TEEN-AGERS RADIO
PROGRAM
“Disc Jockey Hop” is the
name of the WLOS radio pro
gram which is being sponsored
by the City Recreation Depart
ment in cooperation with a- lo
cal soft drink bottling firm.
The program made its debut
last Saturday rfight from the
gym of Stephens-Liee High
School. It’s to be a monthly af
fair.
According to one of the super
visors, Mr. E. L. Fair, this new
City Recreation program is de
signed to take the teen-agers off
the streets on Saturday nights
for some good wholesome recrea
tion. We think it’s a goyd pro
gram, good enough to be held
every Saturday night, even with
out the broadcast.
. HOME FOLKS LOSE
BELONGINGS
Back from Washington, D. C.
is Mr. Clifford Edington, case
worker with the local Public
weUare department. He reports
that his vacation was somewhat
dampened by the theft of most
of his wardrobe from his auto-
n^obile wliile it was parked on
the streets of the Capitol City
. . . and word comes from Nor
folk ttiat the L. C. Robertsons,
operators of the Royal Garden
Cafe, were completely cleaned
out in a similar manner -wMle
visiting in the Virginia city en-
route to Delaware. Looks like
the “city slickers” are taking
advantage of us “down-home
folks.”
BUDDING JOVBNAUSTS
Congratulations are in order^
this time to the staff of the new-
ly-published newspapA' of Step-
bens-Lee High School which just
came off the press this past
week-end. It’s to be a monthly.
We say it’s a good start and
here’s wishing Editor-in-Chief
Charlie Mae Freeland and her
staff of budding journalists an in
creasing amount of success . . .
and speaking of Homecoming,
we are sure everyone enjoyed
the festivities from beginning to
end. Incidentally, those of you
who have not seen the Stephens-
Lee football Bears in action are
really missing seeing one of the
better teams Coach Moore turn
ed out at the local school.
DOES BILLY GRAHAM
I APPROVE?
The story and the editorial on
the forthcoming Billy Graham
Greater Asheville Crusade which
appeared in previous issues of
this newspaper are serious in-
dictiiients against the noted
evanglist. Surely if 6illy Gra
ham believes in the kind of n-
ligion and the kind of God which
knows no race or color, then he
will come forth and renounce
the policy of racial segregation
and exclusion which his local
sponsoring committee seems bent
on carryin gout.
FANS “SOUR” ON
ROBINSON
A lot ol local baseball fans
who have been m the Brook
lyn Dogder and Jackie Bobln-
son bsnAwagon sort of went
“sour” on Jaekle daring his
recent barnstorming visit here.
Seems that they thonght the
Dodger star co^d have been
jnst a little more cordial!
NEGROEjS AND GOLF
We undentand tliat there is a
move on foot to try and get more
days for Negroes at the local
Municipal Golf Course. The ef
fort is ^ing backed by the .Ashe-
ville-Buncombe County Citizens
Committee of which Attorney
J. Dailey is president.
COURIER AR’nCLE
Apparently the noise provok
ed by that article on Asheville
politics which appeared sev
eral weeks ago in Pittsburgh
COURIER still has not died
down. Accnsing fingers are be
ing pointed at a. few local
sponsible for the celebrated
“leaders” as the persons re
article.
