NEW EDUCATIONAL WORKER Many years ago the movement was in¬ augurated to curtail the ravage of the dread¬ ed white plague. The success attained is proven by the reduced death rate, and the number of existing cases on record. In re¬ cent years more practical organization has been perfected with scientifically trained workers. 'These with modern methods are causing the ailment to be les* feared than heretofore. The Chatham-Savannah Tubercu losis Association organized to control this ravage is making good. It enjoys the full¬ est confidence of the citizens. A few of them have responded to the calls made in a liberal manner. No doubt the others will catch the spirit and do likewise. In a no better way can those in charge feel that their efforts are being appreciated, and more especially the endeavors that are be- ing made to restore affected ones to nor¬ mal health and prevent the spreading of the ailment. This association has been very liberal toward our people without the least evidence of prejudice. The desire to show furtherance in this direction is proven by the recent appointment of Mrs. Susan Pol¬ lard-Waters, as educational worker. Ex¬ cellent judgment was shown in her selection. patients was made this week, bjr Freedman's hospital, one of ti e largest institutions of I its kind staffed primarily by; Negroes. The institution was left off the original list 0 f aboqt 1000 hospitals through¬ out the country designated as depots for the distribution of the orug penicillin, it was ad¬ vised this week of it s being so designated. A wire from Dr. John M.

This was amusingly so at the convention of this county last week, when the one presiding called in county officers to assist them in running the meeting after objection was made to the manner of procedure. At the meeting of the State Central Committee the early part of last month attempt was made by this crowd to gain control, hut colored men of ability and political knowl¬ edge thwarted them and they fell in line, but at a meeting of the State Convention this week they failed to abide the decision made and like the novice that they are, wulked out and reported that they held a separate convention. They are obsessed with the desire to secure full control of the party in every county, district and Ihe state, in doing so (‘they intend ignoring every colored Republican, especially the ones who have been carrying on party af- airs f° r these years.

C., (NNPAi Court action aimed at break¬ ing down the local board of ed ucation's refusal to admit a 5 year old Negro boy to a white school near his home failed last week here when Justice James W. Morris of District Court dismissed the suit that was brought by John P. Davis, the boy’s father. Davis had sought to enroll his son, Michael, in a white school, six blocks from the Da¬ vis home, on the grounds that tne nearest colored school was 17 blocks away, creating undue increase in travel and incon¬ venience. His suit charged that the board of education’s refusal constituted discrimina¬ tion against the boy because of his race, in violation of the low and the constitution. The court held that no ques¬ tion of discrimination had be n n shown, but merely a mat- ter of inconvenience, in sing the suit. The board education is reported to planning construction of a MASONIC-EASTERN STAR NOTES Grandmaster Dobbs visitect Cairo, Bainbridge and other! point:; in southwest Georgia.
