bt3 situation if bus operators are advised
toS>e cautious and courteous, and Negro* •
ar# advised not to provoke discourtesy, or
mgtreatment.
{^mdor and honesty compel us to admit
th* the behavior of some Negroes on bus¬
es very unbecoming, and could lead to
trdfciif'. The behavior of some white pas-
serifWs is provocative of trouble also, in
hat they too often refuse to move to
ant seats so that standing colored passen-
ers might be seated. ,
We do not believe that the recent Su-
reme Court with reference to inter-state
us transportation has anything to do with
hat is happening, but we know there are
hose who will say for political purposes
hat Negroes’ are influenced by it. We are
Imost certain that those who have been
nvolved in recent bus incidents do not
now that there has been such a decision
endered. We believe the duty of newspa-
ers lies in not playing up such incidents
rto riots. Their responsibility in this
ard is tremendous. W e also believe it is
he duly of the best thinking white men
nd the best thinking Negrb men to get
•gether to do something about this st¬
ation before it is too late.
GT’S OPPORTUNITY
One, two, three years ago, when the boys
■ere being drafted to serve in the armed
orecs to build up democracy’s army, to
ight and die for their country, it appeared
to many, especially thxdr families, that
hey were being upr'ooted forever from all
hat was dear to them; that they were be-
•ig taken away just because they were
ion whom the army needed. They were
iven up wdth more or less reluctance and
'espair. They were taken into the services
nd given the necessary training to become
ddiers or sailors. This would have been the
mst that could have been expected in many
nevious war times, but the fact is they
•ere given training in many activities that
ot only prepared them to be good soldiers
lit their training prepared them to be bet-
•"* citizens if and when they came back
"’hey were given opportunities for travel
nd varied contacts and experiences that
•nly service in a global conflict could jive.
'urthermore, the government is making a
‘ncero effort to more than repay them for
’hat they gave un for it. The generous
’•ovisif ns of the GT Bill of Rights are mak-
ig many things possible for them: thov
’av finish and extend their education,
nter business, and buy homes and farms,
t'hile manv veterans are not availing them-
dves of these provisions, some because
hey are thoughtless, others because they
’o not know how to go about it. and still
‘hors, in rural sections, are being

ratifying to note that hundreds of them
hvo intelligently gone about making the

AN APPRECIATION CLUB
A Fourth of July Editorial
(By Ruth Taylor)
In the Waverly Sun decently there was
mi editorial on an “Appreciation Club,” the
dm of which was. at periodic intervals,
•xpress appreciation to some resident for
omething he or she had done for the eom-
nunity. I think it is a splendid idea, and
v congratulate the Waverly Sun for Us fine
suggestion.
But I’d like to see the idea carried still
Tirther. Td like to see an
Mub” that would make every member a
ng witness of his appreciation of our coun¬
try and of our form of government. I’d
ike to have its members show to the world
hat not only do the Communists and the
S’azi have convictions, but that Americans
Have just as strong faith in the ideals of
iemocracy and that they, too, aie willing
o proselyte for them.
How would such a club work out?
First of all, a member would have to be
■i good citizen. He would have to take an
active part in the work of his community,
his state, his nation. He would obey the
laws that he and his fellow citizens make.
He would criticize constructively, not de¬
structively. He would hold out the hand
of fellowship to his brother Americans, not
push them off into groups and discriminate
•lgainst them.
lie would show that the American credo
oegins and ends in justice for all. I hat it
aflords opportunity—not privilege or a sin¬
ecure—to each and every one. lie would
neither be ignorant of the changes taking
place in the world today, nor opposed
change. However, he would insist that any
changes be made within the framework of
that Constitution which, because of
elasticity, has served us so well throughout
the years.
lie would remember that at all times to
those with whom he comes in contact, he
represents America. Therefore, he
so live his daily life as to exemplify the
spirit of brotherhood and of fair play which
is the motive force of these United States.
Hie would, by his actions, offer a living
proof that thc way we have found for our-
selves works. That a Bill of Rights for
Americans can be a Bill of Rights for all
the world. And that within its provisions
is the one that affords each man the right
and the responsibility to make of himself
the best possible citizen for his country and
for the world.
A dream? Perhaps. But I feel it could
and would work.

OUR CHOICE FOR JUDGE
In the primary elections to be held July
seventeenth, one of the most important va¬
cancies to be filled, so far as Savannahians
are concerned, is that of a judgeship in the
local Municipal Courts. Before the bar of
the Municipal courts come most of the
ca. es in law affecting the ordinary citizen,
therefore, the conduct of these courts is of
vital interest to more people in general
than that of any other court, save, perhaps,
(lie police court. There are but few persons
who at some time or another do not havs
some sort of minor legal entanglement which
finds its way to the Municipal courts. Since
but a small percentage of persons is hail¬
ed before the higher courts for grave of¬
fenses and a large proportion faces the Mu¬
nicipal courts for adjustment of their af
j fairs, it can easily be seen how vitally no
cessary it is to the ordinary person to have
"arable, just and well qualified judges pre-
s’dirg over the Municipal courts. Negroes,
of course, in large numbers are parties to
suits in the Municipal courts, therefore, the
attitude of the judges presiding over these
courts is of utmost importance to them..
,ln the forthcoming elections there are three
piulidatcs for the Municipal Court judge-
.ship. One of them is Miss Phyllis Kravitcbf 001

will discharge the obligations of- her office

deserves the united support of the Negro
vote and we trust it will be given her.

THE ROAD TO HEALTH
SIMMER COMPLAINT
By O. J. MOORE, M. D,
geon and Chief of lamp Nor-
. Industrial Hospital, Long¬
view, Texas, for AM*
One of my very young pa i-
ents, through her mother, call¬
ed me to her bedside recent¬
ly. The young lady, only 18
months of age, was obviously
in pain. She was feverish and
her mother told me she had
been vomiting. The mother,
who was very much upset her¬
self, also sa d the baby’s bow¬
els had been moving frequent¬
ly.
J. did not take long for me
to determine the ch Id had
“summer compla nt,’’ or, as
d sc tors call it, infant diar¬
rhea. This disease has become
known as “summer complaint”
because it usually strikes child
ren in hot weather. It s most
common among children be¬
tween one and iwo years of age.
Because of this d’sease, moth¬
ers are apt to be particularly
anx ous about their children
during their second summer.
I Betty, my young patient, had
a bad case oil diarrhea. It was
j necessary to lake her off all
! food and let her have only
, water which had been pre¬
viously boiled. I told the mo¬
ther to keep the ch Id in bed
