taai the perfectly stupid battling «'f
these individuals among themselves over
the candidacy of white men not, only
destroyed the confidence ol the people
in them, but il created enmities and
suspicions that remain to this day. 11
also scaled sure avenues through whi h
the masses of adult people could receive
information they need. These avenu s
remain Hr-vd.
Another rather serious obstacle is
the existence of two or three splinter
organizations led by individuals w u>
look at effective organization as the
undoing of their little empires and their
displacing, and the end of their oppor¬
tunity to name workers at the polls on
election days, which to some workers is
all that politics means. The party, the
candidates and the issues mean nothing
to them. They mean little more to some
of the leaders whose chief interest is in
the side with the largest pocket-book.
It isn’t easy to understand why the
rank and file of Negroes in Savannah
and Chatham County, regard their citi¬ J
zenship so lightly as not to care whether :
they have an organization, or wnetne
they are adequately or properly repre¬ j
sented at points of influence and authori- j
‘ The poor showing Negroes make h ;
polities, when they should be playing |
an important part, is a reflection upon |
ail Negroes in the community, regardless j
of their social, professional or economic- I
status.
CLEAN Up
M'linl has happened to the move¬
ment to clean up our city or did we have
such a movement? At any rat° if tlwre
whs a movement to clean up, there arc
many people who either did not know
about il. or they ignored it. If there is
am doubt that we need to clean up, one
onlv needs to see the approaches to the
new bridge via Yamacraw Village. We,
do not know whose responsibility, it is,
besides the residents, to keep the village
clean, hut two trips recently through the
section between Bryan and Ztiblv streets,
showed that neither the residents nor
anybody else seems to assume responsi¬
bility. Dirty paper is all over the place,
in (rout of and behind houses, over the
lawns and in the streets. The condition
of tla* housing in the section immediate¬
ly south of the Village doesn’t lieip the
looks of things. By the time tourist;-
travel the distance along West Boundary
Street to Gwinnett Street, they will get
an eyeful of scenes that are not the
beauty of Savannah. Of course, residents
can do nothing about the housing, but
they can do something about keeping
the premises around their houses clean,
whether they own or rent them. As we
have said before, pride ought to mak<
people keep their places clean. j

attacking
the required designation of
Negroes on Oklahoma ballots.
The plaintiff. A. B. McDon¬

Democratic nomination for U.

McDonald bases his suit on

the 1937 State legislative act

violation of federal law.

Negro Votes I

Negro who voted in the pri¬ j
mary election her - last week ;
,oday is in Charity hospital
suffering from injuries residi¬
ng from a beating at the
hands of persons who appar¬
ently objected to his voting.
He is Isaiah Henry. 39, who
'old investigating officers he
was called from his home by a
group of men and beaten with
what he believed to have been
i piece of rubber hose.
U. S. District Attorney George
Blue said he had been asked to
look into the assault, but added
that the Henry case was but
one of many complaints he
had received of voting irregu¬
larities in the sixth congress¬
ional district. ]
Mrs. Liilie B. Henry, wife of j
the injured man, told\ news- j
papermen that her husband, a
school bus driver, was one of
the many Negro citizens in this
section who voted. She added,
however, that as far as she
knows he was the only one at-
tacked after having voted.
Henry’s beating was inter¬
preted by many Negroes as a
warning that other colored
persons who insist on exer¬
cising their voting right would
suffer the same treatment.
The sum was voted unani¬
mously by the House of Dele¬
gates of NMA following an
appeal by Dr. W. Montgauc
Cobb, member of the NAACP
Board of Directors and chair¬
man of the Association’s Nat¬
ional Health Committee. Dr. A.

national medical society, which

had called, so. after waiting a

The response might have
meant “ves” or “no.’’ but it had

‘Ts she at, home?”
“Uh, uh.”
The versatile exoression

’Ma” t speak to her, please?”
‘‘She is not home,” was the

“When will she be at home?”
I pushed the question firmly.
‘I don’t, know.” was the
unconcerned answer.
May r speak to your daddy?
You "re Tommy, aren’t you?”
“Yah.”
Evidently he was thinking
seriously on the matter of being

Biography
NEW YORK—) ANP) —A def¬
inite eight-volume biography
of Mahatma Gandhi, presented
as a gift of the Indian govern¬
ment, has, been placed on dis¬
play at the New York city
public library.
One copy of the work is
being presented to an out¬
standing library in each coun¬
try throughout the world, the
only other gift set in the United
States having been presented
to President Eisenhower by
Indian Ambassador G. L. Meh¬
ta.
Indian Consul General Ar¬
thur S. Lall said that the
monumental biography was
being presented to the New
Yjirk Public library “because of
its conspicuous role in the
dissemination of knowledge and
understanding and its eminence
among the great libraries of the
world.”
The biography includes cor¬
respondence never before pub¬
lished and is Illustrated with
photographs of the historic
figure.
The eight volumes are bound
in rough black and tan cloth
especially handloomed for the
Gandhi work. Jackets and fly¬

Children should not he ex¬

he should sav. “Mrs. Snow’s

“Mother is out: would you like

Mother to call you.”
Before leaving the house.
one should be sure to tell the
child where he is going, and if
he can, he should write down
the number. There should be a
pad for this purpose. We must
' be sure the child knows where
land how to record messages,
We should stress the impor-

course, he must be familiar

bis confidence in himself, which
he may sadly need, and it will
create the respect of the more

he needs even more.
