Dealing With Uncertainties
Uncertainties come in the life of
every person. It is a part of
human life. It is very uncom¬
fortable to be forced to move on
when uncertainties, and many
times doubts for the future are
facing us. Comfort may guide us
into the most cruel disaster dur¬
ing these times. During these
same times discomfort may guide
us into the best jcy and peace.
Neither the comfortable nor ,ne
uncomfortable way is the criterion
for achieving joy or sorrow, but
where the way leads is the im¬
portant. No one knows the eom-
plete details of the future; how-
ever, much helpful incite is always
available from the past. We
should use it to increase our
power over difficult experiences.
We probably can have no decision
upon which no light has been al¬
ready shed.
My first plane ride was not a
difficult decision nor experience.
The answer is in the fact that I
had incite gathered from other's
experiences of the past. I had
known many Who had made suc-
cessful flights. This experience
ma y be duplicated or carried over
into any area of life situations.
We can profit greatly by other’s
i experiences as well as by our own.
The above assertion holds ., true ,
no matter how great a decision
may be or how complicated the na¬
ture of the problem may be, there
| is a way out. I once read of a
man who was lost in a jungle.
He searched for weeks before he
found civilization. Why did he
continue to search? The basic
answer is in the fact that he knew
that there was a way out whether
he found it or not. In this case, he
found it. If we keep before us the
fact that there is a way out, there
j 1 is always hope.
Mrs. Williams Dies
In Providence, R. I.
After an extended illness Mrs.
Maggie E. Williams, formerly
of Savannah died June 13 in
a hospital in Providence, R. I.
She was the daughter of the
late George and Sophia Wilson.
For many years she was a
faithful member of Asbury Me¬
thodist church.
She is survived by two sisters,
Mrs. Hattie O. Steele of Mon-
teith “ and Mrs. Louise R. Walk-
er of Flint, ’ Mich.; and several
nephews and , nieces. Inter¬
ment was in Providence R. I.
Human Rights, Birmingham.
The statement charged the
State of Alabama with sinking
“to a new low in the firing of
Dr. L. D. Reddick from the fac¬
ulty of Alabama State College, and
the attempt to smear his char¬
acter by accusing him of Com¬
munist association.”
“History will record who the
true Pro-Communists are,” the
signers declared, and specified—
“They will not be the Negro
citizens who are in courageous,
nonviolent quest for freedom and
human dignity; but the Governor
Pattersons, who through defiance
of the law, undemocratic and un-
estieai practices, and the tragic
sabotage of justice, give Russia
and all of her allies a strong pro¬
paganda tool to appeal to the un¬
committed peoples of Asia and
Africa.”

Savannah Electric and Power Co.
er, Henry O'Bryant, Jr., with a
merit award, presented at the
j recent ’he AME General church, Conference held in Los of
Angeles. O'Bryant, alumnus
.1 Murris Brown operates his
factory at 1142 IV. Western Ave.,
he the “teachers” of Chatham
County, the ministers and their
wives. Roars of ridicule rocked
Connor’s Temple as name after
name was read, with one name
being a repeat performer from a
previous Sunday’s list. One could
sense the tension and anxiety as
parents hauntingly looked at each
other with the question on their
faces that demanded to know what
kind of leadership and sense of
direction, what kind of self-respect
were such Negro teachers capable
of instilling into today’s youth.
Throughout the meeting the theme
ran on and on emphasizing that
those capable of doing the most
in leading the struggle to throw
off the ropes placed on by white
supremacists and other racial fa¬
natics continued to flock into the
stores on Broughton Street and
recently into the various shopping
centers. 'For the past few Weeks,
the Uncle Tom’s list has proved
to he a high spot in the mass
meetings, and has allowed every¬
one to know just who is and who
is not sincere in advocating that
they witht to be free. Those pres¬
ent at these mass meetings are
demanding SINCERITY, and are
forcing Negro defectors to take
positive stand where their
trfle 'intchtions and goals can be
obseiR'ed 1 by all.
.Hospa Williams, chemist and
chairman of the Crusade for Vot¬
ers committee, was the next to
address the audience. Any new

mass meeting attendant had no
difficulty in understanding Mr.
Williams’ position about adult Ne-
groes who shirk their
al duties by not being a regis-
tered voter. “Our moneyed and
educated class Negroes are failing
to live up to the leadership level
that they are capable of, due
to the fact that they suffer un¬
der a false sense of security,”
stated this dynamic speaker. Mr.
Williams went on to enumerate
that these people allow fear to
be the guidepost in their lives,
and in order to maintain big homes
and automobiles this educated
group is unusually complacent.
Because of the apathy of these
people in particular, the Savan¬
nah aldermen and mayor have re¬
fused to pave Gwinnett and other
Negro streets, have paved no Ne-
gro streets in Thunderbolt, while
surfacing all those in the white
district, located Negro schools
next to garbage pits and on busy
thoroughfares, and allowed a stu¬
dent to be fined $300 for an in¬
significant misdemeanor. The
speaker, often referred to as a
silver-tongued orator, effectively
put over the point that such abuses
and gross violation of Constitution¬
al dghts, such rapes against hu¬
manitarian relationships could be
eliminated completely if enough
Negroes registered and voted.
These so-called public officials
would change, their ideas of con¬
tempt for the Negro if the bloc-
voting tactic could be adopted,
allowing these white supremacists
to be expelled from office. Mr.
Williams, time and time again,
emphasized that those who have
achieved some level of economic
and social success should in no
way feel superior, as one i* only
as free as his fellow man.
The speaker, in his closing re¬
marks, stated that the goal of his
Voters Registration Committee is
to see that every adult Negro in
Chatham County registers and
votes in the next election. This
in turn will secure such due items
as colored clerks, typists and sec¬
retaries in the mayor's office and
in the courthouse in general. Re¬
pugnance itself, in the form of
“colored” and “white” signs will
he enst into oblivion.
The president of the Mutual
Benevolent Society, Martin S.
Brown, followed Mr. Williams to
the speaker’s platform. Recently
the NAACP presented Mr. Brown,
representing the Mutual Society,
a paid-up $500 lifetime member¬
ship. This organization is one of
the most active in Savannah in
attempting to secure for the Negro
his rightful place in American so¬
ciety. Members asked their presi¬
dent to come forward at this
meeting and announce that this
lifetime membership is not their
final contribution for first-class
citizenship, because various par-
tk'ipnnts in the society have do
elded to donate generously every
month towards the continuance and
maintenaneo of the Voters Regis¬
tration office at (ill West Hroad
Street. Mr. Brown requested that
many other social clubs, labor
unions and church groups also
help eary the financial burden,
for the securing of equality is not
cheap and is not easily won.
Closing out the meeting was the

Rev. P. A. Patterson, pastor of
Butler Presbyterian Church. The
constitutionality of the anti-
picket ordinance passed by Mayor
Mingledorff and the board of al¬
dermen was ripped to pieces by
the Rev, Patterson, who is also
the chairman of the legal redress
committee. Attorney C 1 a r e n e *
Mayfield filed suit in a federal
| court last week to have this mis-
fH-iiage of justice stricken from
the lawbooks, and Rev. Patterson
: left no doubt that if the federal
judge in this district doea not
strike down this ordinance, appeal
will follow appeal until the Su¬
preme Court is reached. In his
own ardent and passionate style
the speaker gave a rudimentary
le urn in constitutional law by
explaining how protest has been
accepted in this country since 1775,
and that picketing is nothing «nore
than a peaceful form of protest
against injustices.
Next Sunday, June 26, ths
NAACP will meet at Asbury
Methodist Church, Duffy and Ab-
ercorn streets.
Even t,ho some of your fond¬
est dreams fail bo matearialize,
you can be thankful that many
of your nightmares don’t come
true, either.
