Sunday School Lesson — The
Men’s Bible class at Raleigh’s
Edenton Street Methodist church,
at one time taught by Senator
Clyde R. Hoey and reputed to be
the largest Men's Bible class in
the state, has been using class mem
bers as teachers in the absence
of regular teacher Wanter Ander
son, director of SBI. Anderson
has been absent on an evangelistic
tour of the state prison camps.
Filling in with class members
as teachers brought about an un
usual situation the other Sunday.
Called on to teach the lesson was
class member Fred Bodge, assist
ant director and public relations
man for the N. C. Division of the
U. S. Brewers Foundation!
Dodge, no overbearing person, is
chairman of the class publicity
committee, edits the class monthly
paper, sings in the class choir,
and recently received a Bible with
his name on it for maintaining a
high average attendance. The only
Sunday school classes he misses
are those on Sundays when he is
required to be out of town fight
ing for legal control of beer and
against prohibition—with a cap
ital “P”—in towns and counties
over the state.
Walter Anderson, the regular
teacher, is former police chief of
Winston-Salem and Charlotte, is
a vice-president of the Allied
Church League for the abolition
of beverage alcohol.
From all this, we can assume
that the Men’s Bible class of Ed
enton Street Methodist church has
heard both sides of the liquor
question.
Just Beginning — Consensus
here is that (the fire on educa
tional equality for Negroes is just
moving from the ember stage and
may soon burn brightly. It is
fine to burn off a newground,
so long as you don’t let the blaze
get out of hand. The same zealots
who have fanned the racial equal
ity fire for political advantage
the past three years are now at
tempting vainly to prevent its
getting higher. Watch for new and
more startling developments with
in the next few days.
Incidentally, there are now over
8,000 Negro teachers in .'«n“
Carolina drawing the best salaries
ever paid members of this race
in the South. They are paid on
exactly the same scale as whit?
teachers.
Big Crowd ? — The Raleiph
News and Observer had this to
say one dull day last week in
no; chalantly commentinp on the
f< thcoming gubernatorial race:
“The way thinps are shapinp up
now, the most wide open race
since 11*40 is in prospect for next
year. There very easily could be
half a dozen or more candidates
in the runninp, each with some
points in his favor and none with
a certainty of victory ahead.
It does look as if the Raleiph
daily is tryinp desperately to dip
up some opposition for Expected
Candidates Capus Waynick and
William B. Umstead. However, the
only sure thinp now about next
year’s povernor’s race is that Kerr
Scott will not be among those
runninp.
No Soap — The name of Cong
ressman Thurmond Chatham was
mentioned lightly by the Raleiph
paper, which should know better.
Chatham, now regarded as one of
the ablest Congressmen in Wash
ington, and his beautiful young
” ife ar*> building a fine home out
from the National Capital; and
Thurmond only a few days ago
said: “As long as the citizens of
the Fifth District want me to re
present them, I have no desire or
intention of seeking any other
political office.”
Important Decision — North
Carolina communities last week
awoke to the heartwarming real
ization that the U. S. Supreme
Court had at last fashioned for
them a weapon to employ in their
oft-expressed opposition to house
to-house peddling, hawking, and
uninvited nocturnal knocking on
doors of private homes.
The high court of the land said
that the town of Alexandria, I^a.,
was within its rights several
months ago when it arrested Jack
II. Breard, representative of Key
stone Readers Service, for going
from door-to-door soliciting sub
scriptions for magazines.

The trial court in Louisiana
found the defendant iruilty of a
misdemeanor, and he was <(,nt
enccd to pay a fine of $25 or serve
30 days in the lockup. An appeal
was taken (the whole thing was
planned as a test case by tne
company), but each succeeding
court upheld the decision. On June
4, the U. S. Supreme Court held
that Alexandria was within its
rights in enforcing an ordinance
designed to protect the privacy
of its eitmens.
The Law — By a vote of six
to ^hree (Southerners Vinson and
Black and Westerner Douglas dis
sented), the court stood by the
following ordinance enacted by the
Alexandria City Council:
“Section 1. Be it ordained b\
the eouneil of the city of Alex
andria, La., in legal session con
vened that the practice of g'oing
in and upon private residences in
tue City of Alexandria. La., bv
solicitors, peddlers, hawkers, itin
erant merchants or transient
vendors of merchandise not hav
ing been : equcsted or invited so
to do by the owner or owners,
occupant or occupant of said
private residences for the purpose
of soliciting orders for the sale
of goods, wares, and merchandise
and or disposing of and or peddl
ing or hawking the same is de
clared to be a nuisance and pun
ishable as such nuisance as a mis
demeanor.”
Alexandria has a section in its
law which makes it inapplicable
to the sale or soliciting of orders
for the sale of milk, vegetables,
poultry, eggs, and othe r farm and
garden produce.
Follow Suit — George Frank
lin, attorney for the ever-alert N.
C. League of Municipalities, is re
ceiving inquiries from several
sections of the state on the ord
inance. He will move when heis
sure of the legal implications. En
actment and enforcement of these
ordinances throughout the nation
will play hob with hundreds of
firms which have grown rich
through house-to-house selling.

POET’*' CORNER
TEXAS
I'd love to live in Texas where
everything is grand
I'd learn’to shoot the coyotes, and
ride the ranging land.
I'd listen to the crickets sing, and
spark with a cow-hand.
I'd hike into the mountains and
o'er the burning sand.
I'd learn to rope the cattle, and
jump the big, wide ditches.
I'd learn to mend the cowboy’s
clothes with tiny, tiny stiches.
I'd learn to brand the cattle, and
sleep beneath the hay,
When morning came I'd be up,
to start another day.
