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.” THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SAVANNAH.

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 Hollywood, Calif. Photo shows, lpft to right: Dr. Cunningham, 0 . Bryant ' Bishop Wilkes and Dr ' R ' A ’ treasurer Morris Brown College alumni (A'NP Photo* 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.

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.
