NEW YORK (ANP)—The Rev.
El'Jaw Fields, 65-year-old pas¬
tor of Beulah Baptist church
was jailed last week for
allegedly having two wives,
Fields’ second wife. Mary,
told detectives investigating !
the case that her husband told
er prior to their marriage on
26 that his first wife,
whose name was aso Mary,
,
had died nearly eight years
ago.
A-s it turned out, the first 1
Mrs. Fields was cnly a few:
miles away from Harlem the
little city of Nyack.

death yarn concerning the first
wife so much that he was be-

The YMCA Membership
Drive
The “Y” held its last drive
for members in June, 1947, 17
months ago. Actually, not over
15 persons now hold member¬
ship in the “Y,” having renew-
jed on their own initiative most
ly for use of their cards in tra-
.el. This year’s drive is ac¬
tually five or six months late
Despite the fact that Decem¬
ber is usually considered a poor
mou/.h for money raising cam¬
paigns, the board of directors
and the YMCA secretary be-
lieve it imperative that 1948
must not end without calling
the attention of the publ c to
the fact that memberships
must be renewed and new
members obtained. It is be-
lieved that everyone wants to
see the “Y” continue its activ-
'tie* and enlarge its services.
If this ls true> it should sufflce
call this to the public’s at-
tentlcn to secure all member-
ship renewals and register as
fmw members ail who have not
yet become members whose at¬
tention is called to the need.
Of course, there could be no
“Y” without a Community
Chest to which everyone gives
and everyone benefits But the
of the “Y” finances comes
from this source, when actual¬
ly the reverse should be true.
Now, though our “Y” is the
youngest in 11 southern states,
it has come a long way and is
gaining in community respect
from both white and colored-
The basic membership is $5
er y ear which is the minimum
annual membership for adults.
emberships are: 16 to 18
years, $3.00; 13 to 15 years, $2;
8 to 12 years, $1.50-

Too little of the typically

afforded because of the lack

and pressing need for an ad¬

for prosecuting its program.

Awake, Colored Voters!
By: Sidney A. Jones
j
This article is purely non¬
partisan and is not intended to
endorse any candidate or po-
icieal organization, but is of¬
fered as a public service. It
is especially directed to the
Colored Voters of Savannah
with the idea of causing them
to think seriously of our local
political situation, and to urge
them to exercise their right of
suffrage at every opportunity.
I am interested in the hu¬
man rights of all people, but
am vitally concerned with the
welfare of my group because
I realize fully the many dis¬
advantages they have had to
suffer and are still undergoing |
in many ways.
The decision of the United !
States Supreme (Court permit-,
ting N?groes to vote in all elec¬
tions in the South was the
most far reaching and benefi-
cial edict for the general pro- j
gress and welfare of our Race
since the signing of the Eman¬
cipation Proclamation, for in¬
deed the ballot opens the door
to numerous other opportuni¬
ties. But having the privilege
of voting or merely placing
your name on the registration
book will lint automatically
bring these benefits, but the
privilege of voting must be
exercised at ev(:ry opportuni-
No matter how strong a
man may be physically—unicss
he exercises and keeps h s
limbs and muscles active and
vigorous he will surely become
weak and flabby. So it is with
our political power and influ¬
ence. Our potential polit.cai
strength is not whac counts—
out rather the actual votes we
;ast in each and every elec-
.ion—is where we derive po-'i-
tical pro,tig Emerson said,
“Do the things and yc shall
have tne Power.”
In the coming c ty election
-Very registered vour should
ast a ballot and thereby help
.0 make out beautiful and ^pro-
gressive city a real democratic
municipality—where each and
every race and group sharo
their civic responsibilities by
participating in the selection
of our cheers, and in turn may
profit in whatever benefits are
justly due them.
It is not am'ss to state that
he recent county election re¬
sulted in the selection of a
splendid set of officers with
integrity and business expcri r
ence whom we can rely upon^ 1
to administer the affa’rs c.I
our county in an efficient and
iust manner- Many political
observers predict that the same
organization is favored to wm
the approaching election. Fore¬
casting election results is an
uncertain task. Counting the
will determine the win-
ner s. We must remember that
ln politics—to the victor be-
longs the plums- However, the
main thought I desire to im¬
press is that it is important)
that you vote—vote for whom
you please—this is ycur un¬
privilege—but by
It was wisely said that the
ballot is:
“A weapon that comes down
as still
As snow flakes fall upon the
sod
Yet it executes a free man’s
will
As lightning does the will of
Gcd.” <Adv.)
