She has attended Mt. Vernon Church for 50 years. Mrs. Kittola Curtis was enthu siastically received wh^n she gave an original poem dedicated to the Golden Agers. After a pleasing rendition of 0 Holy Night by Miss Oevesene Wiggins, the President of the local Chapter of Delta Sig ma Theta, Doctor Helen Edmonds, gave a Christmas message to the At the close of the program, re freshments of sandwiches, cocoa, cookies and candies were enjoyed by all, and each guest was given a gift.

Y. — A hysteri cal little girl made a complaint to Chicago police about “a man with a dog in the park.” Two policemen rushed to the scene. Sure enough they found a man with a dog. Without considering the possibil ity.that more than one mah with a dog r-.ight be strolling in the park, the officers pinned theii sus pect to the ground with their night sticks. Only after an hour of in tense questioning were they con vinced that their victim was in nocent and was, in fact, Circuit Judge John T. Dempsey. Coronet Magazine cites this 1953 incident as an example of the many thousands of arrests in the nation each year which may be un lawful. There is evtdence, saya an article in the Taauary issue, that in almost every atata of the union persons are \ often seized without warrant, denied Uie right to post bail and prevented from communicating with a lawyer or the outside world. The American Civil Liberties Union charges that Illegal deten tion can be seen as a national pat tern rather than a series of isolat ed incidents restricted to one or two majo#' cities. • Government officials must be subjected to the same rules of con-' duct that are demanded of the citizens, fleclired Coronet.

He emphftnzed that South Africa is a microciiim of the world, that its problems face the entire world. - In a press conference, Bishop Reeves suggested. five possibilites ahead for South'^^^ca, one good and four bad: - 1. The way of'doiisultation.. “We shall ha^e t«r ttfifte to it'^fi*tUe end, so why not do it now-r-get black, white and Indian leaders around a table to decide things together?” 2. Violent explosion, if the pres ent South African government con tinues in power and increases its pressure. 3. Buying time—perhaps up to five years. If »ny political realign- m^nt should bring in'a more mod erate -government. ' 4. Intervention by the 200 mil lion blacks elsewhere in Africa, with danger to the 3 million whites in South Africa, the consequent reactions of the western white world, and the resulting attitudes of India, China, Russia, all Asia. 5. United Nations policing of South Africa, at possible request of the government there. Bishop Reeves deplored the fact that the apartheid ideology, “the master heresy of the modeA world,” drives the black man into fver more aggressive nationalism, which goes beyond proper nation alism to beconje irrational and cruel. --Arrests FIVlCORE LEADERS quarters and swore out a com plaint. ’file arrest was made about 10:28 A.M.

Y. — The While Hquse reception for Andnw Jaclc- sdn’s inauF^uration was sucu a rip- rearing affair that Jackson bimsclf finally ducked wt the back door and escaped to an inn. This was the most uproarious of our generally animated inaugural 'balls, but it by no means holds a monoply on drama and spectaclc amon^ the 43 celebrations held to date for incoming or re-elected presidents. As pictured in the Janusry issue of Coronet Magazine, the history of inaugural “brawls” is the his tory of otherwise dignified per sonage scramblings for weakened punch and soggy sandwiches as if these were the last morsels on earth. The James Madison ball of 1809 was described in rather scathing tones by John Quincy Adams, who was later to have an inauguration of his own: “The crowd was «x- ce*sive, the heat was oppressive, the entertainment was bad.” The heat increased as the evening wore on, and guests began to furnish their own entertainment by smash ing the windows to let in air. The festivity at next month’s 44th inauguration A^ll probably be less riotour than seme Jf its prede cessors, but will at least more lively than that of 1944. Franklin Roosevelt was inaugurated for his fourth term that year at a simple, private ceremony, in the ^White House.

One child, Ruby Neil Bridges, “completed her first reader by the end of the tirst two weeks of school and has been given a sec ond book titled, New Basic Read er." \The parents of another child said her kindergarten performance last year, “did not indicate that she would be doing so splendidly in reading and drawing,” t'lis year. These observations are included in an article, “The Second Battle of New Orleans,” in the January issue of THE CRISIS Magazine, of ficial organs of. the Natignal As sociation for the Advancement of Colored People. Tl^ article reports that all four girls are doing particularly well in reading. Author Clarence A. Laws points out that the NAACP suit to inte grate schools here had been fought for eight years ,two months and ten days. It was filed on September 4, 1952. The children entered form erly all-white William Frantz and McDonough 19 elementary schools on November 14, 1960. “Fortunately,” Mr. Laws writes, “the little girls seem completely oblivious to the storm which their presence has set in motion. “This cannot be said of the par ents who, in two cases, have been objects of hara«:sraent, threats, and intimidation,” the article says, adding that one father was fired from his job.
