PROPHECY
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a
son is given; and the government shall
be upon his shoulder; and his name shall
be called Wonderful Counselor, The
Mighty God, the everlasting Father, The
Prince of Peace.”

cause there was no room in the inn.

keeping watch by night over their flock.

them, and the glory of the Lord shone

LIKELY REFORMS
Despite the fact that only few citi¬
zens took part in recent elections, it ap¬
pears that we are going to have some
reforms in political activities, in elec¬
tions. There are indications that the
legislators may have become convinced
that something needs to be done to
make confusion less likely at the bal¬
lot box by making the ballot itself less
monstrous in size, less like “a bad
sheet,” and more secret.
Here in our own county, behavior at
the polls in the general election has
stimulated a strong and important or¬
ganization to call for reform in ballot¬
ing. Any voter could see that his vote
wasn’t secret, and could not be under
the system that has been in use lor
sometime. You give your name to a
clerk who finds it on the voters' list and
another clerk writes it on a prepared
sheet. You are then given a ballot on
the stub of which your name is written
again. After you have made out your
ballot, you tear off a stub, give it to
a clerk and d epos it the bal¬
lot in a box. .1 o s e p h i n e \\ il-
kins gave this description of our ballot
in an address delivered before the Na¬
tional Conference of Social Work, at
Buffalo, New York, June 23, 1939:
“Georgia ballots also carry a unique
little number. With this number it is
possible for those who have access to
the voting lists to ascertain how a giv¬
en elector votes. II e put a number on
our ballot. Under it we added: ‘Note—
To promote efficiency and to expedite
matters sign name under number.’”
We hope the League of Women Vot¬
ers will keep their promise “to fight for
an improvement of election machiner>.
We are apt to see a change in the
of Home Rule legislation. We
To Carry Levittown Case
NEW YORK. Dec. 14 Prep¬
aration was made this week by
attorneys for the National As¬
sociation for the Advancement
of Colored People to carry be¬
fore the Appellate Division of
Supreme Court an appeal of
Judge Percy Stoddart's refusal
to enjoin the biulders of
community of Levittown from
evicting two families who had
entertained Negro guests
The NAACP had asked a
temporary injunction
the eviction of Mr. and
Julius Novick and Mr. and
Adolph Ross, who last July had
invited Negro children from
nearby Hempstead to play with
their children on the
adjoining their homes. In
August, ihese two families were
notified by Levitt and Sons.

of their leases on Nov. 30, they

believe our legislators will be inclined
to heed the conclusions of a gathering
of Georgia Youth held recently in At¬
lanta. Reports already indicate that
1 certain legislators are preparing to in-<
troduce into the house bills that will
correct a situation that should have nev¬
er been allowed to exist. These two
reforms are certainly needed.
ACCREDITING NEGRO SCHOOLS
A delegation from the Negro Associ¬
ation of Colleges and Secondary Schools
requested of the Southern Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools, that
Negro schools and colleges be admitted
to membership. The request was de¬
nied by the unanimous vote of the
Southern Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools. The latter is an
all-white accrediting agency for eleven
states. The reason for denying the
request was that “‘from 50 to 90 per
cent’ ” of the South’s Negro schools
could not meet accreditation standards.”
We have no quarrel with the SACSC
for not accrediting Negro colleges that
do not meet accreditation standards. We
prefer this to a sham or paper accredita¬
tion. We believe standards should be
met before accreditation. We do have
a quarrel with those who are responsible
for Negro colleges remaining sub-stand¬
ard. Of course, it is the same old story.
State supported Negro colleges received
the smaller part of funds allocated to I
education, and it makes no difference,, j
that is, it didn’t make any difference I !
before the Supreme Court of the United
States decreed that Negroes are entitl¬
ed to equal educational facility. To be |
sure, it will require lots of money to I
bring equipment, curricula, salaries and
buildings up to standard requirements.
This poses problems and we find out
that standard requirements can not be
met over night. We are curious to
know if lack of accreditation has any
relation to the denial of Negro appli¬
cants to white colleges. That is, would
lack of accreditation of Negro colleges
be a reason for refusal to admit Negro
applicants? The Board V Regents
should find the means (they can) for
providing standard equipment, and oth¬
er items to the state’s three Negro col¬
leges with the least possible delay, so
that they can become accredited.
WHAT MAKES? •
Weat Broad Street is agog with ex-
eitement because of radical changes
that have taken place in the boledo
world. It is reported that a shake-up
has occurred, that runs all the way from
bottom to top; that replacements have
been made in key personnel; that, be¬
lieve it or not, some players of boledo
are coming to believe they are getting
a raw deal from some of the operators.
This would be good news indeed it it
were true. This would be the best way
of ending the reign of boledo and its
allies: fortune telling fakers and con¬
jure doctors. It is hinted on W est Broad
street that business for some reason is
not so good: that one of the houses ac¬
tually ran at a loss recently. While \ye
hope players are beginning to do a lit¬
tle thinking for themselves, we are
constrained to take this talk of shrink¬
ing business and disagreement among
“thieves” with grains of salt.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS” we say, and in
the language of Tiny Tim, “God bless
us everyone.”
Although the Federal
ing Administration last
forced Levitt and Sons to
move written restrictive
ants from their deeds
.
leases after considerable
sure by the NAACP and
groups, Levittown continues
exclude Negro families.

THE SAVANNAH TUBUN*
BETWEEN THE LINES
By DEAN GORDON B. HANCOCK for ANP
POLITICS AS MILLSTONES
The military and political vortex in which
we find ourselves is threatening; but it need
n<5t occasion despair il we rise to meet the
issues squarely, and quit orselves like a na¬
tion of men. But it hould be apparent by
now that we are not going to •‘luck out”
in every natiinal ana international crisis
as we did in World War 1 and 11.
It is becoming more and more obvious as
the critical days come and go, that if we
are to survive as a mighty nation we must
become more circumspect as a nation and
devote more serious thought to preparation
to guard these rights and liberties bought
by our forbears in sweat and tears and blood.
That we can make fortunes is a nation¬
al theorem that needs no further demon¬
stration; that we have waxed mighty among
the nations .of the earth is a n.f ter acknowl¬
edged in the uttermost parts of the earth.
But that we are safeguarding our libtrties
a s becometh a great nation is a matter of
serious question. We were unready for
World War I„ we were unready for World
II; we are unprepared for World War III
which is now upon us.
In World Wars I and II, the European
nations held the fort until we mustered our
strength; but it promises to be radically
different in World War III. We are forced
to the front and it is going to make a great
difference in the final adjustment of mat¬
ters. Just why a state of emergency is
not declared and the nation placed upon a
war basis is difficult to understand. Con¬
trols for prices and wages are indicated but
business as usal seems to be the motivat¬
ing principle of this nation of money grab¬
bers.
With defeat starring us in the face in
Korea we still seem hesitant to take sum¬
mary measures to safeguard the nation. Pol¬
itics as usual is the course most clearly
defined in the grave matters demanding
our attention. Our ' Lame Duck" congress
is quite willing to fritter away time waiting
for the 1952 elections.
The recent republicans gain have but
whetted the GOP appetite and a republi¬
can victory in 1952 is taking precedence
of a military victory in Korea in 1950. It
is just as well for us to face up to the fact
YOUR HEALTH
RY. DR. GOSHEA
Dr. f oshea Searching
For Truth
An ancient: philosopher rie-
elared, “If any man can con-
vince me and bring home to me
that I do not think or act
rightly, gladlv will I change for
I search after truth bv which
man never was ha-meri.”
Some one else has said. ‘It, is
one thing to wish to have truth
on our side, and another to
wish sinrerely to be on the side
of truth.”
Truth hurts, it has been said,
but that is only true when you
are on the wrong side of truth,'
Truth, as our philosoper has
said, never harms any man
when he is guided by, and work?
with it.
All philosophy, every science
every great principle, is based
upon truth. The greater your
understanding of truth, the
more strength you will have
and the more certain you ‘rill
be of health, happiness a'nd
success. In a life well lived,
health is a basic principle. He
who has health is thrice blessed
because happiness and success
are within his reach and he
needs only to obey the basic
principles of these virtues to
have his every need fulfilled.
He who has not health must
search for the truth about the
cause of his failure and have
that cause corrected. Chiro¬
practors are diligent searchers
after truth and thev are suc¬
cessful as a profession because
they are on the side of truth.
Chiropractors do not create
truth, for truth is a natural
thing; they simply set it free.
They open the channels through
which the life principle is ex¬
pressed and give nature a
chance to serve you with the
truth of normal health. In all
things there must be a source
from which blessings flow and
to which strength returns in a
never-ending cycle. Within the
body, the brain is the source
of strength received from a
higher power, and the brain in
turn sends out cycles of energy
No cases of smallpox were
reported. One case of anthrax
was reported in Massachusetts.
A total of 3.008 cases of measles
was reported for the current
week, and of these 924 were re¬
ported in the East North Cen¬
tral States. New cases of tula¬
remia decreased from 23 for
the previous week to 16 for the
current week. Poliomyelitis de-
i the previous week, the total for
creased nearly 20 percent from
the current week being 480.
The cumulative total for 1950
is 32.474 as compared with 41,~
1764 for the same period last
year.
Report of Epidemics
A release bv Dr. J. C. Geiger.
Director of Public Health of
San Francisco, reoorts a diph¬
theria episode in the San Fran¬
cisco Hospital. On November 4,
1950, a 39-year old man was ad¬
mitted to a 50-bed ward. One
week later he developed sore
throat and a fever. A throat
culture showed a virulent
strain of the mitis tvpe of the
diphtheria bacillus. The patient,
was Schick positive. Two mild
j secondary cases both developed, of whom or.e
being a nurse,

other persons, one an intern,
were found to be carrying the

that Communism cannot bestemmed if dem¬
ocrats and republicans are going to play
politics as usual. These critical times call
for a radical change in our political tactics,
politics as usual and business as usual hold
uie-i\!_iro-down us usual cannot defeat com¬
munism in its bid for world mastery.
It should be clear to even a casual ob¬
server that when the southern democrats
and their northern republican allies were
filibustering against Truman’s civil rights
.jwycuii, mey were inviting the disaster
that is now threatening the nation. If the
time spent in fighting Truman and Truman-
ism hud been spent readying this country
for tne crisis that is now upon us, we wold
not today be facicng disaster in Korea.
It was a case of a mighty nation “fid¬
dling wmle her defense were in a sad
state of disrepair. The anti-Trmanites have
won a victory over the hapless Negroes
but just whether we are able to stem the
tide of Communism :s a matter for which
there is at present no assuring answer. The
point of this release is, we must lay aside
politics as usual and business as usual and
hold-tne-Negro-down as usual and prepare
ourselves for World War III.
Controls should be imposed at once. Re¬
publicans and Democrats should bury the
political hatchet for a season and the na¬
tion should get down to the serious business
of national defense. Just how we let our¬
selves come to every national crisis unpre¬
pared is a question crying for the an answer.
One of the saddest aspects of current
crisis is the lack cf enthusiasm for the
fight we are compelled to make. be
Hie righteousness of our cause should

welcome the task of defen/ding a cause so

moral responsibility and the military ne¬

tomb throwing i s not the answer to the
world’s most pressing questions. Unfortun¬
ately one atom bomb calls for another.

’TWAS CHRISTMAS
By Edgar Hatten
Early one morning when all was
quiet
A shepherd looked so gay,
Jesus Christ was born that
night
To take all sin away.
II
In a city called Bethlehem
The people came to see
A little child who came that
night,
To set the whole world free.
III
Wise men charted and gathered
their scrolls,
To find a star in the East,
A king was born that silent
night
To lead the world to peace.
IV
Angels came and began to
gather
In a sweet and Heavenly way,
Shepherds who watched with
gleaming eyes
Knelt and began to pray.
V
A Heavenly light hung over his
head,
And faded away all sin,
Glory to God in the higest and
on earth peace,
Good will towards men.
VI
Oh! holy town of Bethlehem
A city so far away,
Where shepherds watched their
flock that night
And gathered that Christmas
day.
