NEW CIRCUMVENTION
Despite the fact that numerous pro¬
fessions are made to the effect that our
section of the country is anxious to
provide equal facilities in education for
Negroes, devices for getting around do¬
ing so are always ready in the minds of
those who have no intention of doing
any such thing except at their pleasure.
This is borne out by what has happen¬
ed in Georgia. The suit in the feder¬
al court filed by Atlanta Negro teach¬
ers for equal salaries has been denied
because the teachers are alleged to have
failed to exhaust their remedies in the
local level. That is to say, they had
failed to get their answer from the At¬
lanta Board of Education. This case
has been dragging through the courts
for eight years, and it is our under¬
standing that they did appeal to the
Board of Education. They were direct¬
ed to make their |x*tition to the State
Board of Education. It appears that
their petition to said board was return¬
ed to them because it was not properly
drawn. The petition of the Irwin Coun¬
ty Negroes was returned to them in or¬
der that they might petition their local
board. There is the probability that
neither of these petitions will be recog¬
nized as such; that they will be pigeon¬
holed; or that the old we-shall-do-some-
thing-eventually answer will be given.
This procedure may be legal, but it is
also legal to provide equal facilities with¬
out the resort to the pressure of petition.
That is, why should Negroes have to
petition at all? In every case the needs
are plain to see. So forcing Negroes
to go into court is not a new circum¬
vention. To send them back to the lo¬
cal cimmunity is a new strategy on the
part of defense lawyers. It emphasiz¬
es the injustice of the matter to force
Negroes to go to the expense of suing
for what ought to come to them as cit¬
izens.
AROUND THE BEND
This is the time in the year when many
people think of taking stock, so to speak.
It is difficult not to review the past
year, at least, and use its experiences,
good and bad, out of which to build plans
for the future, the mysterious thing that
it is. It is not amiss to use a little of
the present trying to sort out the suc¬
cesses and failures of the past year and
making them stepping stones to larger
and better successes. The resolutions
people are wont to make could well be
formed on the basis of what happened
to the resolutions made one year ago.
To all other intents and purposes, how¬
ever, the past is dead and irrevocable.
It Has gone into eternity. Those who
live in the past will get behind. The
important time is today, the present.
This is so of everyday. The deeds,
habits, and character we put into today
are what count. Today is yesterday’s
tomorrow and tomorrow’s yesterday.
So we shall s o o n be making
Union Charges Swift
Company Discriminates
CHICAGO-(ANP) Swift and
Comanpy, one of the Big Four
in the meat-packing industry,
was accused of following a “de¬
liberate poliev of discrimina¬
tion in its hiring of new em-
poves,” here Thursday by John
Lewis, president of l.ocal 28.
UPWA. CIO.
Lewis claims that the packing
irm had been.guilty of
sale violations ... of our na
tional master agreement which
states:
“ ‘The company agrees that!
it will give fair and
consideration to any applicant
or employe regarde,ss of race.
sejr, color, creed, nationality or
membership in the union.”
In support of the accusation,
the union said the white wom-
several months that Negro
plicants. particularly women.
are 'given no consideration at
all. while white applicants were
steadily being hired
To test and establish the fact
that discriminatory hiring
practices were being used, the
union sent two white women to
apply or work. On the same
day, the union said 13 Negro
women had been told that no
one was being hired.
Oontvming their conwlaint.
the union haid te white wom¬
en w'ere taken to a room in
the rear of the emnlovment
office, interviewed, hired and

One of the women Eleanor
Salkind. was asked by the
foreman, William Cummings, if
she knew any other "white
girls” who would like to work
at Swift. He is said to have ex¬
plained, “You see, we got a lot

THE CHALLENGE OF THE
EMANCIPATION
Come January 1, 1951, it will be 88
years since the signing of the Emanci¬
pation Proclamation by President Lin¬
coln. The day marked the end of a
great deal of importunity—from those
who favored it for the president to sign
it, and from those who opposed it for
the President not to issue it. Mr. Lin¬
coln bore the condemnation of propo¬
nents as well as opponents not all of
whom were from the South or slave¬
holding states. His final action had
been a matter of doubt from such aboli¬
tion stalwarts as Beecher, Phillips and
Garrison. *
After much useless persuasion from
both sides, the President on the designat¬
ed day, January 1, 18G8, signed the pro¬
clamation, saying as he did so, “l nev¬
er in my life, felt more certain that I
was doing right, than I do in signing
this paper . . .” Negroes the country
over set aside the first of January as
a day on which to pronounce their loy¬ i
alty to Abraham Lincoln and celebrate |
a most important event in their history i
on the American continent. The cele¬
bration will be largely in words glorify¬ I
ing the past and extolling the virtues I
of Lincoln. Much as the tribute will i
be deserved, we have the feeling that
greater tribute and appreciation can be
shown by justifying Lincoln’s act in
accomplishing in deeds rather in words,
the things which he and his supporters
hoped would be the outcome of eman¬
cipation. Our accomplishments of 88
years have not been unworthy. In¬
deed they have been remarkable, in the
light of the hamlicaiKs and obstructions
we have had to deal with. To give
too much time and thought to these ac¬
complishments will tend to make us
contented and satisfied. The fact is,
the mosses of Negroes have grown care¬
less and forgetful of what Lincoln and
Sumner, and Beecher and Phillips hoped
for them. The admonitions of the or¬
ators of the day, and the resolutions of
Negro citizens should serve to make our
civic duties and responsibilities, pas¬
sions and obsessions. This must be done |
to justify the faith the Great Emancipa¬ I
tor had in us. Even now the Eman¬ !
cipation Proclamation is a challenge to
us.
Our wish for a Happy New Year in¬
cludes a wish for a deeper appreciation 1

of them. ;
ol colored people here during
the war and now we can't get

A spokesman for Swift, how¬
ever, denied that there was any
discrimination In its hiring
policy. He said the company |
definitely has no policy of dis¬
crimination in employment.
The official also said that I
while no records are kept of |
the number of employes by
the race, plant that force more is colored. than half There of)
are no Negroes employed in the
offices as clerks or typists,
however.
The union announced that
with the failure to have this:
{ ievance corrected through
normal plant procedures, it was
referring the matter to tho
international union for further j
action.

Special A prominent Catho¬
lic leader of Richmond, Paul
Williams, has advised Catho¬
lic school teachers of the
South to “condition" their
students to the abolition of ra¬
cial segregation in schools.
The advice came during a
panel discussion at the annual
meeting of the secondary de¬
part me at. Southern Regional
Unit of the National Catholic
Educational Association.
Mr. Williams said that in;
view of recent United State*
Supreme Court decisions deal¬
ing with segregation. Southern,
white children should be “con¬
ditioned, from the elementary
grades through high school,
to the abolition of segregation.
He suggested also that Cath¬

THE SAVANNAH TKIBUN1
BETWEEN THE LINES
By DEAN GORDON B. HANCOCK for ANP
POLITICS AS MILLSTONES
A DISASTROUS VICTORY
President Truman has fought gamely,
but the cards stacked against him. It is
becoming more and more apparent that
his traducers and hecklers have succeeded
in putting him on the defensive. The an¬
ti-Truman forces have rallied behind the
dixiecrats and led by Robert Taft the re¬
actionary republicans and their abetters'
have made common cause in the general
defeat of Truman.
Even a casual observer need no longer
doubt that Truman’s presidential sun is in
eclipse, that promises to be total ere the
coming of 1952. Truman has tried hard
and to his credit it must be said he is not
a quitter; but the battle he was fighting
was a losing one. He dared to stand up
and be counted as favoring the civil rights
of Negroes and this speiled his political
doom.
Truman is one of the world’s great mar¬
tyrs! He died politically for a principle
that will distinguish or destroy our coun¬
try. He took his constitution seriously
and herein lay his downfall. Had ho
been a political two-timer and turn-coat!
and opportunist, his way would not at
present be so rocky. There can be little
doubt left that those who are seeking his
political life are about to gain their sordid
objective.
The once confident and courageous Tru¬
man is definitely nervous and irritable as
his occasional verbal outbursts so deiinite-
ly indicate. But his real friends v/ill un¬
derstand. They will not hold his present
embarrassment as of his own making. He
tried bravely to stem the tide but it is run¬
ning too strong against him. His great
crime was his stand on civil rights as thev
pertained to Negroes. Demanding civil
rights for the Koreans and the Indo-Chinese
would have been perfectly safe or even for
the Germans our erst-while enemies.
But when it comes to civil rights for Ne¬
groes this nation will have none of it. It
must be said in fairness, however, that the/
nation showed how it, felt on the matter
when it voted him into office in 1948. But
when the dixiecrats and reactionary repub¬
lican congressmen went into a huddle, the
goose was cooked forthwith.
Their victory over Truman is about com¬
plete. They have succeeded in generat-
YOUR HEALTH
UY. 1)U. GOSHEA
BLIND TO OUR FAULTS
Eoiru one has said that na-
*ure could not make us per-
feet so she did the next, best
thing—she made us blind to
our faults.
It is strange how easy it is
to find fault in others, yet
how bard it is to see them in
ourselves.
The poet, Whittaker, hag
said ‘‘Search thine own heart,
what paineth thee in others,
in. thyself may be.”
Perhaps that is wise, for i7
is always the truth in a re¬
proach that hurts. We are
sometimes so close to the
mountains that we do not gel
a true perspective of it, like-*
wise our own acts are so much
a part of us that we are un¬
able to clearly analyze
selves, and thus are blind to
On the other hand, manv I
flaws in human conduct may I
be charged to ill health. When 1
some one displays ill temper, <
he is put down as a crack to i
be ignored or his outbursts are
answered in kind and either
Course is hard on the emotion¬
al makeup of those involved.
Chiropractors have a deeper
knowledg oof health and emo¬
tional problems and seek to
correct the cause of disease
rather than to treat the ef-
fects. Chiropractors hold that;
sickness is due in a large mea-,
sure to some disturbance to
the nervous system which
blocks nerve channels and thus 1
lowers resistance. Disease na-
t.urnlly attacks a wbekened
condition But people are
usually blind also to what
causes a nerve disturbance and,
subsequently ill health or an
irritable disposition. As a
result they waste time taking
something to kill pain or to
act upon the effect in a tem¬
porary manner.
Chiropractors trace the cause
of most disease to the spinet
because all nerve trunks are dis¬
tributed therefrom, and nerve
disturbance can more easily [
occur in the spine than any-:
where else. The reason for
this is the fact leave that the all spinal nerve 1 j
bundles must i
cord and pass out of the neu- l
ral canal through little grooves
between the vertebrae. Na-

Continental F«»ntn-
ing a wave of unpopularity for gallant Har¬
ry Truman that he will be powerless to ov¬
ercome. He and his supporters will have
to be content with the consolation of know¬
ing that he tried valiantly; but the tides
were against him.
The anti-Negro elements in Congress were
too powerful to be denied. But their vic¬
tory is proving to be a disastrous one. While
kiiling off Truman attention was being di¬
verted from the threat of communism. So
it has come about that disaster is facing
our gallant boys in bloody Korea whicn
disaster might have been averted had our
congressmen concentrated on the Russians
and communists as they concentrated on'
hapless Harry Truman and the Negroes.
Killing Harry Truman was the best way |
to kill off the civil rights program he had
protected and espoused so manfully. 1'he
real stao was at the Negro and the slaugh¬
ter of Truman was incidental. But what
a price the nation is being called upon to
pay for the political recklessness that even-
uated into the political destruction of Har¬
ry Truma.i and the retardation of the Negro
in his struggle against a second rate citi¬
zenship.
The moral disaster here at home is equal¬
ly as distressing as on military disaster
abroad. The ration not only is unprepar¬
ed. but it is divided. Everybody is com¬
ing forward with bitter criticism of the
Truman administration. They are not only
willing tc kiii Truman but they want to
‘‘kiil him dead ” Taft and company will
never cooperate for all-out against the Rus¬
sians for fear the Truman administration,
will get the credit.
It is just as well for us to know that
while they are busy killing Truman they
are exposing our great nation to irreparable
disaster. This writer has said many times
before that this country cannot hold the
Negro down with one hand and hold the
Russians back with the other. Beating 1
back Russians and their communism is a
two-handed task the sooner this nation
wakes up to this solemn fact the sooner are
we ready for that all-out mobilization
without which we are doomed. The dix¬
iecrats and their Taft-led collaborators
should be warned that it is later than they
think. Their victory could be disastrous.
gpir* -
trally, accidents, and fails
sometime displace vertebrae
sIl Shtly. When this occur,
the nerve channels are block-
>d in a measure and the nerve
has pressure upon them. The
result is much the same as
grounding an electric wire—
the flow of energy is disturbed,
resistance is lowered, health is
impaired and the disposition
upset.
Chiropractors are trained to
locate and adjust this cause
of disease. When nature’s
forces are set free, she begins
a process of repairs, and soon
function is normal again,
life takes on a brighter hue,
the disposition is improved,
and all is well.
It never pays to be blind to
vour faults or to the basic
cause of disease. “Know the
truth for the earth will make
you free.” No system of health
is more certain of satisfactory
results than Chiropractic. Give
it a trial and be convinced.

“THE CHILD’S FIRST SCHOOL IS THE FAMILY”—Froebel
“NIP IT IN THE BUD”
Alary Sarck Keer
The tragedy of a young girl
shooting her twin sister was
being discussed, and Mrs. Bird
said, “There must have been
something wrong in the rela¬
tionship between those girls for
many years, and the parents
should have seen it and nipped
it in the bud.”
“The mother says the family
never favored one child more
than the other,” said Mrs. Will-
ing, “so it could not have been
their fault if the girl was jeal-
ous.”
“It may be they were not
partial,” said Mrs. Wise, “but
evidently they were lacking in
discernment. Thev did not ob-
serve the chidren closely
enough to detect the beginnings
of trouble and nip them in the
bud, as Mrs. Bird suggests.
Alice was a quiet child. She
may have felt slighted. Child-
ren often misinterpret the act-
ions of their elders and think
they are being slighted when
there is no such intention.”
“I have noticed that.” said
Mrs Willing. “Some children
find it difficult to
themselves and readily become
self-conscious They need extra
attention in order they may
not feel leftt out when others
who are naturally more active
and asser ive are around. Jeal-
ousv and even hatred can eastlv
begin when the ext"a attention
thev crave has not been given
to them ”
“How easy it is for

children” said M)s. Wise. “I

j “How did they do it?” asked

“They spoke freouently and

him. They would mention
Mother and Daddy, different

especially dwell upon the af-

“It sounds easy,” said Mrs.

“That was not all,” continued
Mrs. Wise. “They interested
Cha'rles in babies. They brounht
out not only his own baby oic-

If there’s a stale taste in your ice
cubes, it’s probably because the refrig-
erator and icc cube trays are harboring
food odors. Once a week you should
wash down the refrigerator and trays
with soda and wane, water, about three
tablespoons of soda to a quart of water.
Then your ice cubes are sure to be
sweet and fresh.
