HE WALKED FOR FREEDOM
I William Douglas Thompson, only 17 years old. should al-
fcvftys stand in our memory as a great man. Though yoUng,
hts strong convictions mad? him a prominent character in Uur-
Ibam’s historic fight for human dignity and freedom! •
“Doug.” as he was called by his friends, was more deter-
nined than many other young men in the fight. From an
I lumble background, he distinguished himself by his great
;acrifices. Douglas was one of the first in the Student Protest
Movement to be arrested. During the' winter when it snowed,
Doug was picketing in all the icc and slush.
He was not one who ‘joined the bandwagon,’ he was the
>and>vagon. When Durham started its first NA.\CP \outh
iThapter, Doug was one of the first 15 members who were
:hen, struggling trying to convince others to join. He went to
^Yashington. D. C. to the National Youth March for Integrated
Sjchool in April of 1058.
God gave us a MAX. though young in years. Life and death,
tfe mysteries, yet. Even though. William Douglas Thompson
vtH go down in history as one of the great pioneers of hfs
ause! ^ ‘ .
As Rev. Swaiin stated during his funeral, "God died to /nake
nen holy; Douglas walked to make men free!’’
t IRWIN HOLMES GRADUATES
i -Irwin ,R. Holmes, Jr* of 1403 S. Alstoti Avenue, is another
pctexmined youth of today. Irw'ln is the first Negro to
ptidu^te from North Carolina State College in Raleigh. He
,pas distinguished himself as being a very smart young man,
’fcot only in his regular Ischool subjects, but also in extra-curri-
Itilum activities at State.
*4'His first year at State he was a member of the tennis team
fcnd this year he was made Captain of the team. Irwin, an en-
£we^ring major, made top grades and this last second semester
exempted from all of his seineste^ exams at North Caro-
|i|ja .State.
f- ^Vhat Irwin has done and the great record he has made can
«rd}y be made small. He. is one of the many able young
l^egi'o men upon which societv calls.

Food Shopping Hints For Summer

Turkeys lead among food ex

of Agriculture. Markets will have
For the Fourth—and all the other
days in July—there will be water
melon and lots of it. Georgia
usually ships the most watermel
on at this season; California next
da and Oklahoma.
Lemonade, the longtime favo
rite for Fourth of July refresh
ment, can be couoted on this year
because supplies of fresh lemons,
lemonade concentrate and frozen
concentrated lemonade are- large.

lime c'rop in Florida is expected
to be larger than last year.

numbers sold last July, and quality
is high. All sizes will bfe in ample
supply, Shoppers are advised to
look for “Spetials” in heaveir
birds. These rate hij:h in yield
of meat proportion to bone. They
are a buy for the home freezer,
for summertime company meals,
or for saving labor in feeding the
family. In hot weather cold sliced
turkey is a special treat for pic
nic sandwiches, cold plates and
maindish salad*. Cold turkey cut
in lengthwise strips is popular al
so for a favorite summer menu
item—chef’s salad.
In hot weifther homemakers may
prefer to roast turkeys in the
morning, then chill for serving
cold from the refrigerator. To
save time, roast birds without stuff
ing. If a large cooked bird takes
up too much space in the refrige
rator for convenience, remove
meat from bone in slices except
for serving pieces like "drum
sticks.” Store these in refrigerator
or freezer. The bones from which
Aieat is removed can make deli
cious broth tp serve hot or as la
chilled, jellied consomme. Cooked
turkey and turkey broth should
be chilled promptly and kept cold
until used.
July will bring many fresn sum
mer vegetables to market. Vege
tables expected in larger supply
than last July are lettuce, egg
plant, green pepeprs, cabbage, and
potatoes. Onions will be very
plentiful in all markets. The early
summer onion crop is 40 percent
above average. Onions have a spe
cial place in outdoor cooking.
Onion slice* give flavor to the
popular shish-kebobs * that are
broiled over charcoal or open
fires, and also for outdoor-cooked
'lamburgers and steaks.
Am for fresh fyuits, two favorites
axpected in heavy supply on mar
kets are peaches and watermelons.
Peaches are expected from nine
Southern State* where prospects
now indicate the second largest
srop in history. How large the
;rop actually is will depend on

Crash peaches are ccrtain to be
plentiful.
