BUSY DOING WHAT?
. There is a very familiar story
in the Bible consisting of a
man who was given a very im¬
portant job of keeping a pris¬
oner 11 King 20:40) who let the
prisoner get away. Some pris¬
oners have always got away.
Probably it is impossible to
keep them all bound. But the
important thing is what the
keeper was doing when the
prisoner we aped, “busy here
and here.”
This kind cf failure Is re¬
peated in our lives today. We,
too. during this age of ease
arid comfort, seek to give
Lvps to ease and
rather than to legitimate bus-
iness of life. We acknowl-
edge the wave of crime, juve-
nile delinquency and many
ether disorders in society. There
is possibly no one of us
•when these disorders are
^ing place. It is not a ques _
tion of being busy but what are
We doing?
A comedian once invented a
time saving device around the
home, Ho quickly said to the
family that he would use
time saved by the device, sleep-
ing. A necessary portion of our
time is well spent sleeping but
I am certain that the time sav-
ed by inventions should not all
be given to sleep. Many of us
love sleep so well that we are
asleep to our duty in life and
adding to the convenience of
destructive forces in society.
Being alive and awake are great¬
est opportunities that we have
to serve needs in our world. Ev¬
ery one is not alive nor awake:
lengos therefore, to these are great chal-j
those alive and awake
No* one should expect the dead;
and''Sleeping to serve needs of
mankind.
The wave of crime, tlje threat
of violence, the cries for free¬
dom all over the world, and the
pain of body and mind of all
peoples mean a challenge to
the awake and alive. Being
busy is no substitute for get¬
ting these things done. We
should watch the nature and
value of service to which our
effort& t ftj;<j applied lest we
waste our lives in sleep and
ease and selfishness, for con¬
sequences are certain to follow
our use of our lives.

Vacationing Motorists Risk
Death In Darkness
CLEVELAND, 0., AUG. —
According to the National Safe¬
ty Council, August racks up the
largest number of motor vehicle
accidents of any summer vacation
month. Statistics also show that
21,250 of the 37,000 men, women
and children killed in automobile
crashes in 1959, met death in the
dark. So if you are planning a
family motor trip, your best safe¬
ty bet is to travel during the day¬
light hours. there
Last year, were nearly
60,000 more highway casualties
than in 1958, and there were 900
more deaths.
The total of the auto accident
injured, maimed and •disfigured
in 1959 was 2,870,000. An appal¬
ling figure.
Of all of the suggestions that
have been made to solve this na¬
tional terror, the only practical
one is the use of lighting.
According to a Northwestern Dr.
University eye specialist,
James E. Lebensohn, “the prime
reason for the excess of night
accidents is inadequate vision.
^Automobile accidents are
brought about by a combination
of circumstances, and the remov¬
al of one, often results in avoid¬
ing the accident. The more cer¬
-lighting tain seeing provided the by good
reduces accident
quota previously attributed to in¬
attention, carelessness, fatigue,
speeding or drunkenness.”

Resolution on The
Death o( Mf. Wimberly
The following resolution was
unanimously pa>sed by the Sa¬
vannah Branch NAACP on the
death of C. Wimberly. Branch
Vice President:
Georgia
Chatham County
WHEREAS. MR. CONNIE
WIMBERLY has been dedicat¬
ed to the cause of THE NA¬
TIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR
THE ADVANCEMENT OF COL¬
ORED PEOPLE from the time
of the Presidency of the late
Reverend RALPH MARK GIL¬
BERT under whose leadership
the Savannah, Georgia Branch
was revived twenty years ago;
WHEREAS, MR. WIMBERLY
has served faithfully the
of free dom. He was a
dedicated officer of the Savan-
nah Branch, NAACP, and a
member of the branch
tive committee. While
was hardly a phase of
NAACP program in which he
did net participate, he will
fondly be remembered for
devoted service to the branch
as trusted treasurer for
a b 0 ut nine years, as the gen
era j chairman of numerous,
successful annual membership
campaigns and as a member of
the youth work committee, ho
seldom ever missed the week-
ly meetings of the youth coun¬

as a vice president of the
branch.
Consistently, over a period
years, no individual has contri-
touted unselfishly more of
time, interest, and energy
the building and development
of an active NAACP branch in
this community. He stood ever
ready at all times to render
whatever services he could;
when others said “no”, he al¬
ways said “yes.”
He Was widely known
throughout the NAACP
ization, having served as a
egate to various state, region-
al and national meetings.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it' re- j
solved that the Savannah,;
Georgia Branch of the National
Association for the Advance¬
ment of Colored People does j
regret loss in his |
our
death and that we do extend
our earnest sympathy to the
relatives; and that
resolution shall be record-
ed in the annais of the Savan-
Branch, published in the j
press and that a copy shall |
sent to each of his surviv -'
relatives. August, 1960 j

SUPPOSED
TO MARRY!
John Carpenter, white, and
Sarah Carpenter, Negro,
were married eight years
ago. The problems of their
courtship and marriage
were reported then in
Redbook Magazine. John
and Sarah were warned by
friends and enemies alike
that their marriage would
never work, that their love
would cool, that their chil¬
dren would suffer cruelly.
Today, eight years later,
Redbook again reports on
the Carpenters. How have
they survived in a world
that did not want to accept
them? How have they faced
the real tests and the hard¬
ships of an interracial mar-
fiage? Don’t miss “We
