r - Np I | "The Old Gray" 1 _ .:.s?X-..',.l . . . L..'?Bx ?4 | Rev. E. Philip Ellis | Negroes and Crimes In gone by days there white people's crimes and Negroes' crimes. And from the, catalog of crimes committed it could b e easily determined whether a white person or a Negro was guilty of tha-offense before starting an investigation. It used to be that Ne groes would not dare think o f eommitting some misdemeanors. But Negroes are so prone to follow white people that today they are guilty of every crime common to white people from highway irobbery to suicide. Crimes which carry with them capital punishment are being committed by Ne groes same as other people. There is no use of saying they are innocent In some cases they are; "while in others they are as* guilty n? cnn bo, There are some Ne when they get a drink of liquoi or even smell a liquor bottle will do arty low thing they are big enough to do. They have no ve spect whatever for the church pi their own women. They regard on ly a pcliceman's club when it is administered severely upon theii good fcr nothing heads. Ever} self respecting Negro should b( a member of the NAACP anc give it their fiill support. Thi Association is a mighty fprcv in ? ?seeing that "Negroes ;jct - justice at the hands of courts. This is what every sane _Negro desires to see. Wrth such a procedure it has been found that justice was woefully miscarried anj the victini was exonerated after being given a fair trial. We are willing toi co operate with the NAACP hi a financial way to see that every Negro be impartially dealt with by the law. For after all when sonic of "Aunt Hagar's children" get their justice in law it means the electric-chair, gas chamber, gallows or the guillotine block where their heads will be chopped off. Say what you will but We have some bad Negroes among us. And in. words of the circus clown: ?'?: "they air too sick tn livr and ton sour to die."

Negro Colle; Schools Convened in 13t The 13th annual meeting of the t Seorgia Association of Negro Col j eges and Secondary schools con- j >ened Saturday, January 28th at 10:00 a.m. at Paine college with 8 B. T. Harvey, president, presid- c ng. 1 The core of the program was a :ontinuatjon of the study of the j >Jew Curriculum for Georgia, with special reference to factual ma- e ierial and methods of procedure in the problem area "Health." i Between 80 and 100 teachers 1 representing from 40 to 50 secon- . lary schools and colleges took part in the discussions. In the morning session, Mr. L. 1 M. Lester of the State Department 1 of Education spoke on the New State Curriculum for High School. Much study and work : have been done in connection with' ' Lht Nev. Curriculum in connection1 ' with the elementary and gram-1 < mar grades, but the experiment is' j new with the secondary schools.1 . Emphasis was pi aped on. the Life- 1 Related Flnfernriup in+Wi frmtlon 11 of Different subject matter- fields. ] through various project designed J . to solve some problems growing out of daily experiences?and study groups. ' . ! Also on the morning program ( was a discussion of <Jroup Recrea- , tion in School and Community byj Miss Frankie V. Adams, Commun: ity Work?Industrial Problems, I Atlanta School of Social Work, , M^ss Adams explained the impor-l : tance of recreation in both rural : and urban centers, and pointed out ' the fact that jt is very simple to1 j organize for adequate recreation1^ in the rural sections because of, the abundance of space and ma-j ' terial. Many communities, she < said; still object to dancing if you1 ] call it that, but if you do it and , call it l?y some other name, they; enjoy it. One of the main "points was that play will solve many, ' problems of crime if it is proper- 1 ly organized and supervised. After Miss Adams' speech, a gener-j al forum was conducted on the' subject. At one o'clock, Paine college entertained the representatives at i luncheon. The afternoon session met in , Haygood Hall auditorium at 3:00.' 1 The first on program was a talk I 1 on Health Service in the State of, < Georgia by Dr. W. H. Maddux, Consultant in Child Care, State, ueparxment or Health. Dr. Mad-' dux gave many interesting facts [ about health in general and espec-j ially about Negro health conditions in Georgia. Tnirty-six per cent of the total populaton of Georgia is Negro, yet of the 2,500 doctors in yae state, there are only 154 Negro practicing in only 43 counties. Sixty-three Negro mothers die for every 10.000 babies born, and from 58 to 50 babies' die out of 1000 born. 1 It is tragic, explained the doc-1 tor to deliberately expose child-ren to the so-called "Children's" j diseases, for no disease stripes a human body without leaving a| scar. * This mark weakens _ the body's resistance to tuberculosis! which causes the death of so many | of cur young people just at the, . time when thev seem most Drom- ' ising.? ?? ? 1 ; An appeal was m^de to the tea*,}, chers to help educate the public, ' to the point that they will stop ? considering hospitals places tO( ] take flowers and for the undertak j cr to visit. It should be used j r early enough to get relief of one's, complaint. | , Parent-Teacher associations and. hurch clubs were named as organ zations which can best take young " nothers under their care and :each theirr "th? proper "care of in- j , rants, children, and themselves. The doctor pointed out that Nefroes lead in death rates from all 1 liseases with the exception poss-! { bly of diphtheria, hookworm, and liabetes. Miss Susie Buckner of the Coun :y Department of Health, Augus- f a, gave an excellent explanation * >f Personal and Community Hygiene as supervised by the Coun,y Board of Htalth in Augusta. It was" noted that the city of, e \ugusta is divided into four dis-l 1 ricts in which seven Negro nurs- * cs do full-time work. There is! c 10 County-wide Negro nurses, but|^ wo white nurses give some time * ;o Negro patients. * Parts of the regular program' c .vere omitted lue to lateness of '' :he hour, and the group went in- * o a discussion of business.

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS SATISFACTORY RESULTS Saturday, February 18, 1939 STANDARD OIL COMPANY __' FIRiST TO RECOGNIZE NEGRO BUSINESS h Charleston, S, C.-^Five hundred . Negro patrons of Esso dealers in Charleston, heard two North Caror Una Mutual Life Insurance lead, erg tell how the Standard Oil Co. has been the first big business to recognize Negro business. , E. R. MerncX, treasurer or the I North Carolina Mutual Life In; surance company and G. W. Cox, < vice president . of the same company were the principal speakers at a banquet arranged by R. A. Morrison, prominent Esso dealer. | Financed and sponsored by the !

The action' of the Stan ' dard Oil company Jn appointing I J. A. Jackson, as public relations I representative among Negroes and .'giving employment to more than ,'.8000 Negro workers was evidence 1lof their confidence in ^egro. i Such action warranted the Negro's | appreciation. jl Mr. Cox urged Negroes to patro j nize an buy Standard Oil prodr' ucts because this big business had , given recognition to Negro busil ness and had been responsible in j part for the benefits received from . I the General Education Board in Education. He cited many reasons why we should show our ap, preciation and buy Standard Oil - products. .
