It is most gratifying to note that the great heart of the "city law" wenf^out to this little black boy, and in its benevolence no doubt ^iade a lasting impression on the heart of" qne whom life has offered so little. These lines-awft feeble tribute and the /The Chip Flies Far Away F ' I I THE BLOCK While the candidacy for governor of Lieutenant Governor George B2II Timmer{ man, Jjr. cannot be endorsed unqualifiedly I by this paper, it is felt that his coming out ; in favor of mixed schools in this State, which both white and colored children | may attend, is a step in the right direction, Such an arrangement would provide \ opportunity for the proper evaluation as well as the re-evaluataion of persons and personalities in, an integrated set-up where people will come to know others for what they are. Mr. Timmerman's father, jus Federal . Judge, it will be remembered, handed Columbia Is Not Racket Fr i Although Columbia seems to have dealt the death blow to both the numbers racket and dope peddling, the illicit liquor trade is flourishing brazenly ai d almost uninhibited in many city areas. Not only is this well known by the general public, but it has been common knowledge of many persons in the higher echelons of the city police depatrment. While it is true that a token number of liquor cases is being brought before Judge Rice weekly, sorrt^ by officers who obviously and heroically want to do a good job of law enforcement, there seems to be a disinclination on the part of "the law" to swoop down and break the hack of the moonshine market. This can point to only nrto f Viiorr o ^i 1 * uu.15. ?v uuuueg nicKei in wnicn certain persons come under the hammer while other brazen dealers roll merrily along. It is the inescapable responsibility of the Columbia City Council, the Chief of Police, and the Richland County Sheriff (also sheriff of Columbia, by the way) to eee that the flow of rot gut liquor is stopped in Columbia. There is nothing extraordinary about Where Was Christ At Fasfe 1 Ironically, and no less aptly it has boon said of Christian America that its most segregated hour is cloven o'c'lock on Sunday morning. Add to that Easter sunrise in Columbia, when Christ again must be in a quandary as to where to g(>. In Columbia, publicity on an Master sun rise service heUI at beautiful Karlcwood city park and financed in large measure by city tax funds is slanted so that only whites are supposed to attend. At the same time, care is taken to channel Negroes to Mien t>r Benedict ball park services financed by the Negroes themselves.

Keefe met Christ on Easter Day. r nm Tho Rhtck una Jt itv down a ruling against unsegregated schoo in the State. Therefore, it was more tha astounding and gratifying that the younj er Timmerman should show the liberalit to come out openly for the mixing of tl races in a segment of the South Carolir schools. We believe he is the first cand date for high public office to take such stand in South Carolina. The Light house congratulates Mr. Tir merman, upon the advancement he h. shown in this respect, believing that tl stand he has taken proves that the Youn er Timmerman may not be governed e I tirely by the hidebound convictions of Y elderly father. ee the fact that some ix>lice officers can fii bootleg dens in doubly quick time and < ten, while others just can't or just won Chief Campbell, who is most capable, ai > his assistant, no less capable, can get the bottom of this racket just as they <1 in the other two which were no more dai aging.

Foot special- \ t ists say it doesn't matter at all. 1 They state that high shoes do not J > lend any additional support, and s sometimes restrict the ankle move ments. However, high shoes are not harmful - and, from your own point j * of view, they are easier to keep oa > the baby. * Incidentally, a word of caution is j - in order here: Do Not Try To . Teach Your Child To Walk. Your baby will walk when he is ready and able to do so, probably ' somewhere l*tween 12 and 18 . months.
