Manila, once proud metropolitan
‘‘Pearl of the Pacific” is being

Colored soldiers, liberators of

from Milne Bay, New Guinea to
the northernmost American battle¬
lines, are refused admittance to
public places upon threats and in-
sistance of white American sol¬
diers. Entering bars, cabarets,

niggers doing here?”
The future of American-Filipino
relationship lies at stake unless
something is done to prove Ne¬
groes are also American citizens.
Filipinos ask why are Negroes
treated different from whites when
they are all Americans? Some
want to know why Americans
promise such good democracy for
the Philippines when so much raci¬
al strife exists in our armed forces,
continental limits, and government
goes unheeded.

Marion, S. C. (ANPi—Having
run out of delaying tactics to avert
large registration of colored citi¬
zens, the Marion county courthouse
simply closed up for the day when
a host of Negroes journeyed here
from over the county to register
on Monday.
Led by J. L. Morgan and George
H. Chism, chairman and secretary
respectively of the county Progres¬
sive Democratic party, the appli¬
cants were told F. M. Boatwright,
registration office, wasn’t in and
pt-obably wouldn’t be in during
the day although he had person¬
ally assured registration on Mon¬
day to a delegation which had con-
spited him last Thursday.
Spurning the Woman’s sugges¬
tion that they return later, about
iO of the applicants crowded into
the officer’s room at 9 o’clock PPd
sent out a committee to locate
Boatwright who had been seen in
tdwn that morning. At eight niin-
utes to 10 somebody in an outer
office closed the door to the room
the applicants had entered but
nobody moved, emerging finally
at two o’clock, breaking a five
hour wait.
The searching committee report¬
ed having spied the officer who
tefok the flight but what puzzled
those who remained inside more
was that every office in the couvt-
hPuse had been closed and there
wasn’t a soul in sight. Attaches
than an hour after the applicants
and office workers had left less
arriVed, the leaders were informed
later.
CONG’L CHURCH WOMAN’S

On last Sunday the members
and friends of th'e First Con¬

the annual observance 6f Wo¬
man’s Day.
Mrs. Rubye E. Gadson, lo
cal school teacher and ardent
civic worker, was the guest
speaker. She was introduced
by Mrs. Annie S. Faikner.
In her address, Mrs. Gadson
defined impressively some of
the problem? which confront
oik women now ahd in the
critical years that lie ahead
A very small number of quad
fied workers, declared the
speaker, are faced with tne tre
m’endous responsibility of
charting and directing the ac-
tions of the vftst majority of
odr people. The attention of
the audience seemed to indicate
full acceptance of the mes.
sage and its implication.
A surprise feature of the
morrting was a visit from Miss
Mabel Curry, field worker.
She brought greetings from

Booker, ,
city police officer, was no-
.luitted after a Dallas Gounty juYy
ketViVned a verdict of not guilty
in connection with his trial for
the rtutfder of Mrs. Nicey Brown,
aged resident of this community,
three months ago. Witnesses
tending the trial were shocked by
the prejudiced remarks addressed
to the court by James Pitts, local
defense attorney who declared,' “If
we convict this brave man who is
upholding the banner of white su-
prentaey by his actions, then we
may as well give all of our guns
to the niggers and let them run
the Black Kelt."
The 12 farmers deliberated only
a few seconds then voted to free
the policeman. This case
ed considerable interest as earlier
a Dallas County Grand jury had
indicated the officer for first de¬
gree murder and ordered him held
‘without bond. Attempts at habeas
corpus failed as the circuit judge
refused to grant bail.

cers and club presidents will

oratory has been set up to handle
all of the blood texts on the syphil- 1
is side of the program. Physicians j
as well as highly trained technioi- I
ans and other personnel have been !
added to the staff of the Chatham
County Health Department for the
survey.
“With syphilis killing 100,000
people per year, more than the cas- I
unities of the war, and with tuber- J
culosis being responsible for 60,- ;
000 deaths, it is obvious w-hy a
program of this magnitude should
be desired by every citizen in
America,” Dr. Clair A. Henderson,
Director of the Savannah-Chatham
Health Center, said yesterday.
“The war is won, hut the peace
remains to be won. Some of us
probably asked ourselves,
what can we do toward winning
peace. One thing that each
and every one of us can do is <ce
our community is a healthy com-
munity, a clean town where chil- 1
dren can grow up in health and

Although both white and color-

Dallas County’s love for the main- i

is with phrasing “Tuberculosis can !
be cured in its early stages. An

tomorrow. Free X-ray available
October 1'5-November 30 through

signs are given over to syphilis
in turn which are phrased “The
treatment of early syphilis with
penicillian is completed in nine
days. See your doctor or clinic -
today rtir a blood t.esf for syphilis.” i
Across the bottom of the sign ap- j
pears the wording, “Know for
sure.” Specially designed bus and ,
street car cards are in all of the
buses and street cars and some 10
to 15 announcements, per day are
being used on the radio. Sound \
truck and community organization ;
are also a part of the program.
- It is estimated that approximate¬
ly 50 to 00,000 blood tests and
chest pictures will be made during !
the 45 day period.
