R OGER SMITH is a former
Meglin Kiddie hoofer who
became a singer-guitarist and
wound up as a private-eye on
ABC-TV’s “77 Sunset Strip” . . .
He gave up his dancing at the
ripe age of 12 when his family
moved from Southern California
to Nogales, Ariz. . . . He was
captain of his Nogales high school
football team, then went on to
college and cultivated singing
and guitar playing . . . Doing
calypso material, he won first
place honors on “The Horace
Heidt Show” and “The Ted Mack
Amateur Hour.”
Then came a call to active duty
with the navy and an assignment
in Honolulu . . . After duty hours,
Roger and his guitar could be
seen on the beaches in front of
the big hotels or at parties
“which I always crashed hoping
someone from Hollywood would
hear me sing,” be says . . .
Someone did . . . While filming
“Mr. Roberts” in Honolulu,
James Cagney heard Smith at
one of those “crashed” parties
. . . impressed with the young
man’s voice and stage presence,
Cagney encouraged Smith to go
to Hollywood after his hitch was
over.
Immediately upon discharge.
Smith went to the film capital
. . . Cagney was out of town so
he began making rounds of the
studios trying to find work . . .
Broke and about ready to re
turn to Nogales and his father’s
clothing business, Roger finally
landed a singing Job at Cabaret
Concert, a showcase night club
... A girl he knew asked him
to help her with an audition scene
for Columbia . . . She didn’t get
a contract but Smith did . . .
Universal borrowed him and
later signed him to a contract
... It was while at Columbia
that Roger met Victoria Shaw,
the lovely Australian actress who
was filming “The Eddy Duchin
Story” . . . They were married
in July 1956 and now have two
children.

REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
DEBRA
S EPTEMBER is usually the
month when cyclones wreak
destruction of property and
causes loss of life. But this year,
the dread season of cyclones be
gan in July with the advent of
Debra on the coast of Texas and
far inland.
After the raging storm had
brought such disaster to Texas,
some man in Houston criticized
the Weather Bureau for sending
out warnings of Debra too late
for people to take any possible
protective measures.
The present writer has no de
sire and intention to line up with
the Houstonian or the Weather
Bureau. But I am calling atten
tion to another complaint from
certain ladies who object to the
use of feminine names to desig
nate this'or that storm.
It does not seem appropriate to
give a name that has been asso
ciated with love and kindness to
a dread storm that destroys prop
erty and kills helpless men, worn
en, and children. Let us cease
from giving revered names to
ravaging tempests.
Honey-Pecan Biscuits
Here's a breakfast with go-power! Tomato fulce, eggs and bacon, and
tempting Honey-Pecan Biscuits. They add up to nutrition guaranteed to
keep you going all morning long.
You would never think of starting a long auto trip without filling the
gas tank. Yet, in effect, that's what many people do, when they set off
for work in the morning without eating breakfast.
To work all morning long at reasonable efficiency, you need a reserve
of energy, energy that comes from eating breakfast. Fruit or juice, cereal,
eggs or meat, bread, and beverage prove adequate for most people.
Hot bread always makes breakfast more tempting. Here's a recipe for
easy-to-mix Honey-Pecan Biscuits. Self-rising flour, with baking powder
and salt already included, is a big time-saver in this recipe. Try it once,
and you will always use self-rising flour for making those hot breads your
family dotes on. Enriched with three B-vitamins and food iron, it also
gives a nutrition dividend.
HONEY-PICAN BISCUITS
Va cup brown sugar 3 cups sifted enriched
2 tablespoons butler or seif-rising flour

2 tablespoons honey Vs cup salad oil

COMMENTS ON MEN & THINGS
(Continued from Page Two)
ent pastor, the Rev. Robert E. Cuttino, at 11 o’clock. The
Rev. Wyatt Garrett of Taylor, former pastor, will bring the
message.
The Beech Branch Baptist Church could well be called
the little church in the wildwood, placed in a beautiful set
ting of tall moss covered trees and antique features. An
other unique feature is that the large kerosene light fix
tures hung from the high ceiling are still being used. Dur
ing the Civil War, Sherman’s troopers knocked the door
of the church in, and cracked the door. The cracked door is
still there. The soldiers also camped at the church on Sher
man’s march to the sea.
Later the church raised money to send Bibles, Testaments
and other materials to the war front.
During the Revolutionary War the people carried their
guns as well as their Bibles to church, to protect themselves
from the Yemassee Indians.
On September 12, 1759, 19 persons constituted Coosa-
whatchie Baptist Church, led by the Rev. Oliver Hart and
the Rev. Frances Pelot.
In 1796, James Smart Jr., son of the first pastor of the
church, obtained a grant of 71 acres on Beech Branch waters
of Coosawhatchie, evidently granting seven acres im
mediately to the church and later willing the remainder for
the church’s use.
In 1802, Savannah Association, later called the Savannah
River Association, was formed with some of the churches
coming out of the Charleston Association, which were the
Coosawhatchie, Black Swamp, Pipe Creek, Bethesda, and
Lower Three Runs Baptist Church. The church had been
in its present location since 1815.
The name of the church was changed from Coosawhatchie
Baptist Church to Beech Branch Baptist Church in 1823, at
whiich time the church documents were revised.
The last recorded conference for colored members was
on February 10, 1884, and then in 1890 to 1900 the last
colored members were dismissed to join colored churches.”
For the sake of keeping the record straight, I remind those
gallant figures who gloriate, glorify and magnify Beech
Island that this house of worship is not on Beech Island,
but on Beech Branch, at least two days distant by horse
back.
The imperative need ®f our Nation is a man of common-
sense, a strong, vigorous personality, a man who can say
“NO!”; a man who can resist pressure; a man who is not
trying to curry favor or build a Party or develop a follow
ing.
We must abandon the idea that the Government is the
source of all help, the unfailfng and bottomless refuge in
all moments of need.
As matters stand we are all in strong and persistant com
petition to draw on the National Treasury.
If we had a man of the stature of George Washington he
would be as ready with a veto as President Eisenhower
and more ready to avoid special spending. For example,
there is surely no immediate urgency for the transcontinen
tal highways. The taxes already collectible were entirely
adequate—and more than adequate. The additional one cent
a gallon is only another bit of oppressive prodigality. But it
seems really out of place and time to condemn or disaprage
any expenditure while this Nation continues to throw away
billions of dollars throughout the world.
I deplore the unresisting attitude of the Congress. Not one
dollar should be appropriated for these so-called cases of
utter futility, but the Congress should require that all un
expended balances be held subject to new control by the
Congress.
How any intelligent man can justify our throwing away
money while imposing new taxes and retaining special war-
emergency taxes I cannot see.
The very first and only obligation of our Congress is to
deal fairly and equitably with our own people. The money
being doled out or poured out to other countries is money
paid by American taxpayers to operate our owm Govern-

Our Nation’s Capital City
Washington, D. C., is truly a unique city. It is the capital
city of the world’s most progressive and prosperous country..
Lt is a federal city run by a Board of Commissioners ap
pointed by the President to administer the laws for the citjr
as passed by the Congress. In past years, the capital citjr *
has been peaceful and a wonderful showplace for tourists—
its millions of annual foreign and domestic tourists.
‘To The Dogs’
Lately, however—since the District of Columbia has be
come the integration “pilot model” for the South to follow—
it has been, so to speak, “going to the dogs.” Such crimes a#
murder, forcible rape, mayhem, aggravated assault, mug
gings, etc. have been increasing so alarmingly that most
residents—especially the women—are fearful of walking the
streets at night and some streets even during daylight
hours. The hoodlums have carried on their attacks not just
against ordinary citizens but even against Metropolitan Po
lice Force. There has been a 30 per cent increase in asaults
on police this year over last year, 26 in July alone. As one
woman who had been attacked recently remarked, “The po
lice used to travel in twos. I think maybe they should go ia
threes or fours now.
\
Newsweek magazine says the capital city is beginning to
look more and more “like a crime-infested morass in a mias
ma of brutality.” In the first six months of the year, the
crime rate rocketed 15.3 per cent and juvenile crime, over
a 12-month period, had increased by 25 per cent, compared
with a national average of 6.5. Now that a Negro congress
man, a Congressman’s wife, and the widow of the late De
puty Defense Secretary Donald Quarles, have all been
threatened or attacked in recent weeks, action is being ta
ken to try to cope with the Washington crime wave. The
Congress is augmenting the 2500-man police force by 500
men at an additional cost of $2.5 million. Some have proposed
the employment of police dogs as are used in neighboring’
Baltimore, and one Congressman has urged the deploy
ment of two companies of the U. S. Marines to assist in
the cleanup.
Reason For The Mess
The principal reason cited by Newsweek magazine for
the Washington difficulties was the influx of Negroes and
the exodus of whites to the suburbs. The magazine pays*
Negroes now constitute 54 per cent of the population. Ne
gro students comprise approximately 73 per cent of the
school population in the District’s “pilot model” system..
A 1957 Congresional investigation of the public school sys
tem in Washington revealed that forced integration wae
the principal cause of the mamoth problems which have
come to light in the school system. One of the many find
ings on integration by the investigators said:
“The forced integration of the schools in the District d?
Columbia greatly accelerated an. exodus of the white resi
dents to the suburban areas of Maryland and Virginia. The
present exodus seriously threatens to the educational, econ
omic, cultural, religious, and social foundation of the Dis
trict. If the exodus continues at its present rate, the Dis
trict will become a predominantly Negro community in the
not too distant future.”
Washington is not alone in its integration follies, failures^
and crime consepuences. An even larger mess can be found
to the north of the capital city in the New York City melt
ing pot. Washington, however, was supposed to be the “pi
lot model,” and it has made the case for segregation against
forced integration even stronger than our lengthy and well-
documented legal arguments.
ment. There is no law or just excuse for trying to uplift
every other nation.
We pay taxes to maintain an efficient Government in
this Country and to provide for the common defense. All the
childish outpouring should stop at once.
