ETAOIN SHRDLU by WESLEY R. RAMSEY We know that you folks o Port St. Joe are considerate folks We have seen it exhibited man' times and have heard of many scores of cases of individual courtesy. All of this display of courts: make us wonder why we have Sto take up a subject like'this. It has to do with citizens call ing up the telephone operator when the fire whistle blows, no by the dozens but by the hun dreds. You are lucky you know, tha you are not insulted. The telephone operator doesn' have to tell you where the fire is. But she does. As far as that goes, the opera tor doesn't even have to tell the fire department where- the fin is. They are only paid to give you the number you ask for. Notwithstanding all this above< folderol,-the operator will be happy to tell you where the fire is if you willonly Wait for five or ten minutes after the whistle has quit-blowing. The operator has a very important job to dc in answering the calls of the fire. men and dispatching them ,t the correct location and taking down the names and numbers of those firemen standing by where the truck goes out of the city limits. It all takes time and music be done correctly. They are only humans ,so let them have a chance to get bacl to normal operations before you call about a fire. After all, it doesn't make much difference where the fire is as long as it isn't you house. Which brings us to another re- lated subject. Although this practice hasn't been followed recently it would be a good habit for the ciirinoi.l to stay back out of thie a\ at a fire or somebody is coing to get hurt.

Which ever of the candidates won, it would have been "poor, poor Florida" from the other side, yet in spite of all that "sor- ry, lecherous, theiving, corrupt 'candidates for governor" could do, the state is still in existence. ---------^C----------- Firemen Answer 12 Alarms In One Week The Port St. Joe Volunteer Fire Department has been called out an even dozen times during, the past week, six of them within 24 hours. .

SAYS NEGRO HAS BEEN GROSSLY MISLEAD IN HIS CIVIL RIGHTS FIGHT (EDITOR'S NOTE-One of the soundest arti- cles yet written on the racial problem comes from the pen of a Negro, Davis Lee, publisher of a weekly newspaper in Washington, D. C. One editor refers to it as "a spirited and compell- ing defense of the white Southerners' treatment of thg Negro." The article appears below.) By DAVIS LEE, Publisher - The more I travel, listen and observe the more convinced I become that the Negro has been grossly misled in this matter of segregation and civil rights. It appears to me that the first things should come first, and that our economic well being is of greater significance than the privilege of attneding a white school or to associate with white people on an equa Isocial basis provided by Supreme Court decisions and pressure legis- lation. As a Negro, and an American, I naturally want to see my race enjoy every right, privilege and opportunity enjoyed by any other American, but I am opposed to any type of agitation de- signed to deprive the other fellow of a right to be associated with his own kind exclusively, if he so desires. I would like to reserve such a right for myself and definitely would not want it encroached upon by a Supreme 'Court edict or any other kind of interference. The right granted to one or two Negroes in Virginia or some other Southern state to enter a state graduate school is of no benefit to the millions of our people who are in need of the bare necessities of life, and when the fortunately situated members of the race conduct such cam- paigns of agitation for selfish gain, the needy masses suffer. While the South does not provide ample or adequate modern school facilities for Negroes everywhere, neither does it provide completely modern facilities for white schools, because the money is not available for such a vast undertak- ing. However, rapid progress has been made and in Montgomery, Alabama, and several other communities the Negro schools far exceed the white schools in modernization and physical ap- pearance. Neither do the majority of Southern Negroes nor the majority of the white approve of the present program to disrupt a custom which has served both races well down through the years and contributed so much to the Negro's economic security. POSES A QUESTION Just what would be the future educational status of the Negro in the South if the legisla- tures of all the Southern states would enact legis- lation withdrawing state financial support from all schools of higher learning, starting at the high school level? Not only is this possible, but if it should come to pass, the Negro would be unable to finance his own educational program. Negro financed educational programs have been a fail- ure in the past and nothing miraculous has happened which would cause a normal person to assume that the future holds any better prospect. Years ago Southern Negro educators made annual pilgrimages to the North to raise funds for the support of their schools and this practice continued until Northern philanthropists found out that the Negro educators were the benefic- iaries instead of the schools. The AME Church, the Baptists, the Presbyterians and some othr minor denominations have been active in the field of Negro education, but their achievements have been nothing to write home about. Not only that, but every year charges have flown thick and fast anent the misappropriations of school funds. The operation of Negro schools has not only produced some of the nation's juciest scandals but is a damaging reflection of the Negro's integrity and his ability to operate and finance an educational program. No race or nationality in this nation has excelled or equaled the Negro in educational atiainment and achievement, but this educational opportunity was not only created by white dol- lars but has been financed by white people throughout the nation. It is an unfortunate fact, that Negroes contribute very little to their own community well being and improvement and this fact should be taken into account by those agitators before they initiate their program for demands in the field of education. Instead of spending thousands of dollars to finance unnecessary court fights for privileges which will cost the race millions in lost valuable friendships and racial goodwill, our leaders should go into the Negro ghettoes and force the local grocer to carry prime meats and sell to our people grade A products which will make us healthy. I live in Newark, N. J., one of the supposedly liberal cities, and it is impossible to find prime beef or grade A cuts of any kind of meat in the Negro section of the city. This situation is true throughout the United States. Grocers ir Negro communities carry the most inferior brands. Go into any Negro community and the meat market windows are filled with cheap, inferior smoked and salt meats. Some of it was put through some curing process after it had gone bad. It is no wonder that the death rate is so high among Negroes. When one considers the food situation plus inadequate housing, it is a wonder that the death rate is not higher. CORRECT ABUSES It appears to me that our leaders should direct their efforts toward correcting these abuses which are undermining our very existence. And these abuses are not practiced against us by white people alone; our own people are just as bad. Negro restaurants buy the cheapest food, and charge the highest prices. Last week on a tour of five states I was not able to get a decent cup of coffee. Some of the coffee sold to me looked like mud and tasted Worse. It is very apparent to me that the Negro leaders of this section have a distorted sense of real values. They appear to me more interested in breaking down racial barriers and conducting expensive campaigns of agitation, in spreading hate, than in directing their efforts, energies and money towards the attainment of the tangible essentials of life. I was in Atlanta last week and was greatly impressed by the large number of outstanding and progressive Negro businesses. Atlanta is strictly a segregated city. I was in several New England cities this week where there is not supposed to be any segregation, and I found not one creditable Negro business. The only owned and operated Negro radio station is not in New York, but in Atlanta. Seg- regation has not only given the Negro in the South an opportunity to carve out his industrial and economic destiny, but it has forced him to the fore as the most substantial and economically secure Negro in the world. The Negro in New York, Newark and other supposedly liberal centers may enjoy the privi- lege to eat where he pleases or go to any theatre or public place of amusement, but a Negro can't get a license in Newark to operate a liquor package store, and there are any number of fields that he can't enter business in other East- ern and Northern cities. But this is not true in the South, a Negro can enter any kind of business he wishes and Southern whites will even lend the money. Some of the largest con- tractors in the South are Negroes. SUITS IMPAIR RACE RELATION Northern Negro dollars spent to force Sou- thern white universities to admit Negroes will certainly not contribute anything towards con- tinued good race relations in the South, and race relations were definitely improving until all these schools suits started. I find more race prejudice in the East than I have found in Georgia or Mississippi. Two weeks ago ten tourist camps refused to rent me a cabin just outside of Pittsburgh, and Pennsyl- vania is one of the first states to enact a civil rights law. If the NAACP is really interested in correct- ing a real evil in the school situation then it should direct its efforts toward the schools in Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania, which is a little closer than the nearest Southern school target. The American race situation has not only taken on added alarming proportions but has developed into a serious problem "which could explode and create a national crisis. Instead of trying to find peace in Korea and in other for- eign lands our leaders, both white and colored, should try to find a panacea for these racial ills and establish peace at home before advocating it abroad. We are not in a position to teach the other fellow how to establish unity in his bailiwic when we don't have it in our own.

With equal grace, it will climax a formal, elaborate dinner or finish a simple family meal. It is a dessert that enjoys year-round popularity. You can buy it at the store in almost any flavor you desire. Nevertheless, it is simple and easy to make at home and usually has the added advantage of being less expensive; nor do you need to have on hand an array of fancy supplies. Take Coconut Cooler, for example. Here is a frozen treat you'll be making again and again. It calls for only a few simple ingredients that are regular tenants of your kitchen cupboard. You'll love the deli- cate flavor of coconut and refreshingly tangy lemon, the creamy- smoothness of this dessert. And toasted coconut adds an easy com- pany-touch of glamour to the appearance, as well as a delectable c unchiness to the taste of Coconut Cooler.
