“BLOCS” And “LOCAL
CUSTOM”
‘Take-Out Only’
We had a rather calm, low-
pressure conversation the other
,day on a rather unpleasant sub-
ject with a gentleman who man-
ages one of the largest depart-
ment stores in this city. The
,information which comes to us isthat the Atlanta store is owned or
managed by a New York concern
» whose name is a by-word in mer-
.chandising. The local chieftan wascalling to explain to us that we
were in error in thinking that the
serving of Negro customers on a
_ take-out only’ basis at the base-“ment lunch counter represented a
change of policy. Anxious to set
any doubts we might have at rest,
,the gentleman assured us that,though there might have been
lapses in the past, their basic
policy was and is to hold firmly
to ‘local custom’ — a polite name
for racial segregation. Having
thus re-established our faith in
the American Way, our caller ex-
, changed courteous farewells with

the so-called Negro ‘‘bloc vote”
- following the large turnout of Ne-
groes for the primary. At every
moment we had half expected
someone to suggest that the Negro
citizens go off in a corner and
hang their heads in shame —
whether for registering in such
numbers or for voting against
persons they felt might be un-to their interests we
weren't quite sure.
Jobs, Ballots and Human Dignity
Since the bonded righteousnessof our white fellow
Americans has confused and con-
founded wiser heads than ours in
Europe, Africa and Asia we can
. hardly hope to throw any useful
light on this puzzling subject. But
we would humbly propose that
even a hasty glance at American
political history would suggest that

Vote PowerAtlanta’s political leadership, as represented by the Atlanta Negro
Voters League, headed by Attorney A. T. Walden and Rev. Wm. M.
Jackson, dispelled criticisms of its effectiveness in the September
| 14 Primary Election by helping three of its recommended candidates
in various sections of the city.
Defeated candidates Archie Lind-
sey, defeated by Sheriff Grimes
and Atty. Ruben Garland, over-
come by Solicitor Webb, are
reputed to have used such tech-
niques in the recent Primary.
Through effective organization at
the “grass roots” level and by
securing the co-operation of lead-
ers of civic and community or-
ganizations, under J. H. Calhoun,
asst. secretary of the city-wide
League, at the direction of the
recently expanded executive com-
mittee, voter-interest was in-
creased to the extent that partici-
pation of Negroes was weil above
the average.
Whereas, the general voting for
the city fell to some 50.4%, an
analysis by Mr. Calhoun shows
that for the eleven precincts, com-
posed of 98.8% Negro voters, ap-
proximately 62.27 of these regis-
tered voters went to the polls
on Wednesday. These percentages
were calculated from the official
figures and machine counts which
also show that 1,395 voters of the
13,535 who voted in these pre-
cincts, either failed to vote or did
not vote on all candidates, because
in the Grimes-Lindsey bracket,
the largest vote cast, only 12,140
voted, whereas the total machine
count for the eleven precincts was
13,535, indicating that 10.3% of
the voters need instructions or
urging to make their votes count
in every bracket. He admits that
in view of the large number of
new voters, this should not have
been overlooked at the public
meetings, which were short.

Travel to Pay|
Off in Benefits
For City TeachersIn the first issue of the Atlanta
Public School in Focus, Septem-
ber 1960, appeared an article
which revealed the main features
of proposals for salary advance-
ment beyond the automatic steps.
Features of the proposal were:
“Five quater hours of study,
which must relate to a teacher's
present or future assignment, at
the graduate level in an ac-
credited college during alternate
years will be the major method
of earning increasements.

ployment policies was reviewed.
The student leaders say they
pointed out that only a Negro
bag-boy had been hired since the
April meeting and that Westside
citizens were disappointed and dis-
pleased, especially since Negro
patrons have played such an
important role in the growth of
the store. One of the Jordans in-
dicated that a Negro girl had
applied for a job in June. A
search of the files turned up Miss
Keith’s application, and the two
student leaders drove to her
home and brought her back to
the store. She was hired then and
there and began training last
week as a cashier at an employee-
training establishment on West
Peachtree. She began working at
the store Friday, September 23.
Meanwhile, the Colonial Store at
Hunter and Ashby Streets which
has been under protest picketing
for the past few weeks by stu-
dents, physicians, dentists, and by the superintendent and if ac-
ceptably written up by the
teacher, will be an alternate |
method of salary advancement. |

PAGE TWO THE ATLANTA INQUIRER MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26,
Let FreedomRing
“Peaceful petitions to the con-
science of our fellow citizens for
redress of the old grievances thatstem from racial segregation
and discrimination.” These lines,
taken from the statement sub-
mitted by the Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee to the
Platform Committee of the Na-
tional Democratic and Republican
Conventions, aptly describe the
student movement. I would like to
quote a few more lines from that
statement.
“On February 1, 1960, four
freshmen left the campus of A&T
College in Greensboro, North Caro-
lina, went to the heart of that
city, and took seats in forbidden
territory — the lunch counter of
Woolworths, Inc. In a sense, this
was the beginning of the stu-
dent protest movement. But the
threads of the quest for freedom
and human dignity reach back
much farther — back into thedays of 1955 when thousands of
Negroes walked and the busses of
Montgomery, Alabama, were un-
der boycott.
America was founded because
men were seeking room to move.
We are again seeking that room.
We want room to recognize our
potential. We want to walk into
the sun and through the front
door. For three hundred and fifty
years, the American Negro has
been sent to the back door in
education, housing, employment,
and the rights of citizenship atthe polls. We grew weary. Our
impatience with the token efforts
of responsible adult leaders was
manifest in the spontaneous pro-
test demonstrations which, afterFebruary 1, spread rapidly across
the entire South and into the
North as sympathetic students
sought to display their own dis-
satisfaction with race relations in
the United States.
The movement is a protest and
it is an affirmation. We protest
and take direct action against
conditions of discrimination. We
affirm equality and brotherhood
of all men, the tenets of American
democracy as set forth in the
Constitution, and the traditions of
social justice which permeate our
Judaic — Christian heritage.
The student movement, despite
the accusations of some public
figures, is neither Communist con-
trolled nor inspired. Such charges
are unfounded and merely serve
to heighten the tensions which
must come in any social change.
To label our goals, methods, and
presuppositions ‘“‘communistic’’ is
to credit Communism with an at-
tempt to remove tyranny and to
create an atmosphere where gen-
uine communication can occur.
What we, the participants in the
movement, have in common, are
our beliefs in the dignity of the
individual, our hope in the demo-
cratic form of government, and
our devotion to our homeland.”
These sentences contain the es-
sence of the student movement.
In reality ‘more than a ham-
burger” students and all men
want only the granting and recog-
nition of a right which has long
been theirs. The right to full and
equal citizenship with every other
American citizen. No more, and
certainly no less. Today's young
people want to be free today.
We have been for too long too
eager to accept compromise and
tokenism as substitutes for actual
progress. The wrongs and mis-
deeds which this country has al-
lowed to smear its proud record
as the champion of the free world
must be erased.
The students of America havelet the world know that they are
tired of being second class in a
first class society. They are tired
of being told to go slow and to
forgive and forget. Through the
non-violent protests, they have ex-
pressed their unbearable disgust
at a system which prohibits per-
sons from enjoying Constitution-
ally guaranteed rights and which
every day, turns another brown

Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Supt. Beerman:
On Friday, September 16, 1960,
between the hours of 8:45 A.M.
and 9:00 AM., I was travelling
east on Trinity Avenue in the vi-
cinity of Washington Street, at
which intersection (Trinity and
Washington) I turned north (left)
on Washington Street, at which
time the traffic was extremely
heavy with cars lined on both
sides of the street. After turning,
Officer J. E. Barfield yelled out
of his patrol car “hey’’. His car
was parked at the curb on the
opposite side of the street. It was
not to my knowledge as to who
he was calling. I looked and saw
that his car remained parked. I
heard no further reply and pro-
ceeded to move on, at which time,
Officer Barfield backed his car
almost into my car, saying to me
“pull over.” With traffic moving
on both sides of the street and
my car being in the center lane,I could not pull over without hit-
ting other cars. I then asked him,
“where to’ pull over? He then
instructed to pull over into the
City Hall parking lot, this I did
without hesitation.
After pulling over into the City
Hall parking lot, Officer Barfield
came over to my car and stated
that I ran a red light and I asked,
where? At this point, he requested
my driver's license, I opened my
car door in order to step out and
get my license out of my wallet.
Before I could completely get my
balance after standing, OfficerBarfield stated that I was ‘being
smart.” He grabbed my arm and
threw me around and pushed me
to his car. After he manhandled
me and pushed me to his car, I
stated to him that I had done
nothing to be manhandled for and
that I was not one who would
attempt to break anv just law
willfully. He then ordered me to
“shut up’ or else he would “beat
me.” At this point, I stated to
him that I might be beaten to
my knees but I would like to un-
derstand the reason for this dis-
position. At this point, he picked
up the patrol car telephone.
I then asked if he still wanted
my license. He again ordered me
to ‘shut up”. At this point, a
gentleman, apparently working in
the City Hall parking lot, came
around and Officer Barfield asked
him to ‘stick around,” as if I
was going to attack him. I had
not given him any indication ofthis.
Officer Barfield and the gentle-
man, whose name I do not know,
engaged in a conversation, and I
heard Officer Barfield state to
him, *‘you know what this is all
about, they cannot break the law.”
I again asked, if he wanted mylicense and again I was ordered
o ‘‘shut up.” The gentleman, who
was there with Officer Barfield
stated that he was going to have
my car pulled in. When I ques-
tioned the reason, he stated I
would probably be locked up. I
requested that my car not be
moved until the question of my
arrest was disposed of — which
request was apparently granted
because my car was not moved.
At this point, a Sergeant drove
face in another brown countryaway from democracy.
The students have heard the
bells toll and have written an
epitaph for accommedation and
discrimination. We wonder when
other citizens will realize that
they can hear the bells too. They
have heard the solemn epitaph
and seen the hearse go by, butthey will not gather to lower thecorpse. When will you take your
place in the march toward free-dom?
PARTY’MANNERSAnybody who can remember
what used to be taught as the
ground rules of goed manners
must find the behavior of nations
and leaders of nations in these
troubled times confusing, if not
downright upsetting.
You must always be kind to
strangers and try to make them
feel at home, the folksy rules of
conduct used to run. But nowa-
days even a Vice-President and
the President's best-known per-
sonal representative meet with
insults and shoving; while the
President himself is told that he
had best not sample the hospital-
ity of his prospective hosts.
No matter how other people act
you mustn’t go back on your own
home training, another rule held.
But the minute the shoe is on the
other foot and the ill-mannered
ones light on our shores they are
given a good stiff dose of snub-
bing, cold-shouldering and a few
well-chosen pieces of our official
mind. To which they gladly re-
spond by breaking the rule that
you don’t come into somebody
else’s house and proceed to cut
the fool.
Speak when you're spoken to
has long since flown out the win-
dow, so all parties freely adver-
tise their inmost uncomplimen-
tary thoughts about one another.
Guests storm from one hotel to
another in a cloud of contradic-
tory charges about protection,
over-protection, price-hiking and
chicken-plucking. Guests lists for
private parties and get-togethers
are loudly announced in public
with the clear intention of under-
lining the names of the un-invited.
And all the while, with barri-
cades sprouting and squadrons of
police and gun-hefting security
guards milling around, the cause
for which the party-goers have
supposedly gathered can be
glimpsed, lop-sidedly out of focus,
every now and then.
In case it’s slipped anyone's
mind, the real purpose of this
saadparty is... Peace.
Where AreThe Books?Again Negro parents — taxpay-
ers and responsible citizens -—
have brought it to our attention
that their children are going to
classes in certain public schools
without books.
State boards of education and
the various rating and certifying
agencies set certain standards as
to the number of days pupils
should spend in school each year.
It might be easy enough to as-
sume that if two pupils taking the
same course spend the same num-
ber of hours in school they are
being given at least approximately
the same chance. But if one
youngster must add to the other
handicaps he is saddled with the
further drawback of being two,
three, four or six chapters behind
the more fortunate youngster who
up on a motorcycle and Officer
Barfield and the gentleman gave
him an erroneous account of the
incident, stating that I attempted
to attack the officer, which I cor-
rected in a statement to the Ser-
geant, stating to him that I never
attempted or made a motion to
attack the officer and that I wasa willing citizen who would follow
the request of an officer without
hesitation, either mental or phy-
sical.
The above statements I have
made are true, under God.
This type of action by Civil
Authorities raises a question in
my mind as to the American way
of Justice and Human Dignity and
I do hope that there will be citi-
zens who will deplore this type of
action with every fiber of energy
in their bodies until Justice is
rendered to all mankind.

CC THE STRAW THAT ...a
PITTS PIN-POINTS STATEPUBLIC SCHOOL INEQUITIES
Highlights of Statement to
the Georgia State Board of
Education by L. H. Pitts, Execu-
tive Secretary, Georgia Teach-
ers and Education Association
on September 19, 1960.
An cppeal to make adequate
educational opportunities avail-
able to all has been made by the
Georgia Teachers and Education
Association. L. H. Pitts, executive
secretary, made the presentation
in an address to the Georgia State |
Board of Education.
Mr. Pitts outlined seven areas |
of concern.
1. Annual Contracts: ‘. . . each
teacher who is employed in the |state of Georgia should have in
his possession at this moment a
written signed contract. There are |
now some teachers in the state
who have not received contracts
for 1959-60 nor 1960-61. This, we
believe, is an understatement of|the facts if they were documented.
You can understand our concern
particularly with the coming of |
the meeting of the Legislature and !the possibility of the results of |
recent decisions of the courts.’
2. Teacher Tenure: ‘There are
teachers in the state who have |
worked for as many as 19 and |
20 years who have been left with-
out contracts at the close of the
school year with no written state-
men of reasons given. They have |
been re-placed immediately which
would indicate that they were not
released because of loss in Aver:
age Daily Attendance. Teacher
tenure for all teachers of Georgia |
has the books paid for through |
public taxes then it is clearer than |
ever what a mockery ‘separate |
but equal’ is.
Our new
Schools comes highly recom-
mended as an able and experi- |enced man. We have no reason
to doubt that he is a just man as
well. In a country like ours which.
rightly, puts a high premium on
learning, any restriction at all |which deprives the child of full
Superintendent of |
on the state level might be justi-
fiable in view of the fact that the
state guarantees the basic salary
for the teachers in the public
schools.”
3.New School Construction: “We
are concerned lest the now
proposed $50 per state allotted per
teacher per vear get lost in the
same kind of maze as was the
maintenance and operation money
| allotted per teacher.”4. Maintenance and Operation:
“There is a county in Georgia
with more than 3,000 Negro stu-
| dents, with at least four schools|built under the recent schoolbuilding authority at a cost of
| more than a half million dollars,| with more than 70 teachers where
there are no janitors and where
| janitorial supplies are shamefully
| lacking. Ladies and gentlemen,| this cannet go unnoticed too muchlonger by the tax payers who are
| concerned about the education of| all people.”
| 5.Subtle Methods of Intimida-tion: ‘“. . . that reprisals have
been visited on some of the teach-
| ers in the state apparently be-
| cause they were married in a cer-
{tain family, they belonged to a
| certain organization, they at-
| tempted to exercise the use of the
{ ballot, or they dared to encourage
| citizen-discussion of school mat-ters, are not known to the honest,
| just people in our state and I am| sure is not known to this Board.”
6. Vocational Education: “‘.
| ask that you note the inequities
of proposed opportunities for peo-
{ple of color. This state, this na-
| tion and the more than one million
| Negroes in Georgia cannot afford
| the economic loss resulting from
the lack of vocational educational
opportunities for this segment of
{ the population.”
| 7. The Dilemma of Negro Edu-
(cation in Some Communities:| “There are still some countiesand/or systems in the state of| Georgia which have not provided
adequate housing for all of their
| children. There are some counties
educational opportunity should be | and/or systems which have ap-
speedily removed. | parently ignored the opportunity
to use the resources, already ac
cumulated and constantly grow-
ing, to provide housing for Negro
children. I woud call your atten-
tion to only one such situation ir
this statement, and would refer
you to the records regarding
others.”
“Bleckly County presents a fla
grant example. This County appar-
ently did not accept the services
of the School Building Authority
nor the funds then available t
build. . . . $300,000 has now ac-
cumulated to the credit of the
County and as far as we know,
no blueprints are presently avail
able nor are they in process of
being prepared. These boys and g
girls will receive no special con-
sideration when they take th
College Board Examination, will
receive no special consideration
when they apply for jobs in in-
dustry and will receive no special
consideration when they fail to
function as good American citi-
zens, because they were and are
denied decent, healthful and ade
quate facilities in which to study.”

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1960 THE ATLANTA IN-QUIRER
The Norwoods of ThomasvilleThe boll weevil, according to
most stories you hear about him,
is a pretty ornery creature not
very much given to performing
good deeds. But if you drive out
Jonesboro Road and into the sec-
tion known as Thomasville, you
might find at least a hundred-odd
families who have good reason to
be grateful to that branch of the
boll weevil clan which was operat-
ing in Georgia's Fayette County
in the years 1919-1921. For the
man who has done so much to
transform what used to be farm-
land and woods into a flourish-
ing community of modern homes
might well be in Fayette County
yet if the weevils had not con-
vinced young Robert Norwood and
his wife Darthula that farming
had become a losing proposition.
The Depression
Married in 1919 after the young
man came out of the army, Ro-
bert and Darthula wrestled with
bad luck and poor crops for three
years before pulling up stakes
and moving to Atlanta in 1922.
For several years the young
husband worked as a plumber but
then the Depression struck and
making a go of things within the
city limits proved fully as hard
CASTRO |(Continued from Page 1)
lookers, and Castro’s aides, who
were carrying in boxes of food
(including breakfast cereals) and
arranging to park their cars so
as to avoid receiving New York
parking tickets. People milled
around in the rain, full of pride.
One group in front of a bookstore
which was devoted to Negro his-
tory and had a sign proclaiming
that Christ was black, went on to
explain that they and not the po-
lice were Castro’s friends and pro-
tectors. “He wants to come on
down here and talk to us and
we want to talk to him, so mister,
you and your lines are just in theway.”
It kept on raining, but pecrle
just stayed on, under awnings,
umbrellas, or just in the open. At
four o’clock they were still there
revelling in being around, and
planning to stay the night as if
night and rain were merely
another of a long series of ad-
versities.
By eight o’clock Tuesday morn-
ing there were more onlookers,
more police, more reporters, more
barricades, but no obvious hostil-
ity to Castro. Then more and
more police came and finally,
shortly after noon, the crowd was
quieted by the sound of sirens
as a fleet of cars pulled up at
the Theresa. Rumor had it that
Khrushchev had arrived and
someone said, “Man, Khrushchev
visits Castro in Harlem!”
as fighting the weevils back home.
Heads of families were standing
in soup lines in Atlanta and cities
all over America, and the Nor-
woods decided to at least make
sure that their growing family
had a stable supply of food.
Robert Norwood’s father was al-
ready living on the southeastern
outskirts of Atlanta in Thomas-
ville and in 1931 young Robert
and his wife rented a 65-acre farm
in the Thomasville section for one
bale of cotton per year. The 56-
year old house on the property
had long since seen its best days
and only a small footpath, wind-
ing through the fields and woods.
connected it with the nearest road
but the energetic young couple
and their children rolled up their
sleeves and got to work. As time
went on they had 25 acres in
cultivation, raising cotton, corn,sweet potatoes, syrup cane and
wheat. The children helped look
after the chickens, hogs, and cows
and divided other farming chores
before and after school hours. All
eight Norwood children grew up
on the Thomasville farm: Bennie,
Robert, Jr.. Dorothy Norwood Mc-
Kay, Andrew, Blondine Norwood
Cunningham, Sylvester, Juanita,
and Matthew.
The family had a syrup mill of
its own and made a tidy income
from the sale of syrup and the
cakes and pies baked by Mrs.
Norwood, whose hand, according
to authoritative first-hand reports,
has lost none of its culinary cun-
ning.
Never a man to idle away his
time, Robert Norwood was mean-
while continuing to go into the
city during the day, working
mainly on construction jobs as a
bricklayer’s helper. He would
come home from these jobs in the
evenings, eat dinner and then
sometimes plow by moonlight un-
til 9 o’clock or later.
It was while working on a con-
| skills. Though his roots have re-
| mained firmly rooted in Thomas-
(ville, he has worked at his trade
{on construction projects from the
| Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of
{ Mexico. As each of his boys be-
came old enough to know one
end of a trowel from the other,
he took them out in the backyard,
bought sand and lime and let
them build and tear down tiers
until they were ready to go out
on the job with him.
Robert, Jr., whose own work as
a subcontractor and builder has
included the building of a big
paper mill in Rome, Georgia,
started travelling with his father
at a relatively early age, joining
him on trips to Alabama and
Jackson, Mississippi. In Wooster,
Ohio, after an inspector repeat-
edly refused to pass on some
brickwork being done for a 6
million dollar hospital according
to the architect’s plans, Mr. Nor-
wood ‘laid off’ the section as he
thought it should be done so ef-
fectively that both the inspector
and the architect declared them-
the firms for which he and his
sons have done brickwork include
the Peaslee-Gaulbert Paint and
Varnish Company, the Atlanta
Paper Mill, Pittsburgh Glass Com-
pany, the Coats & Clark’s thread
mill on Lindbergh Drive and the
United Motor Company.
Some twelve years ago Mr.
Norwood began operating as an
independent building contractor,
one of his first successes being
his present home, built largely
out of field stones gathered from
the original 65 acres which the
family by this time owned.
{ The Thomasville community has| . |
reaped thousands of times the |of Thomasville and the larger |
value of the bale-of-cotton annual |rent from the Norwood acreage.
| One portion was sold to provide |
{ for a new school. The farms and
| fields have disappeared to make
struction job on Peachtree Street |
that he happened to pick up his |
pay at the same time that the |
two bricklayers for whom he had
been fetching bricks and mortar|
were being paid. His pay came to |
a grand total of 13 dollars while |
the two bricklayers drew 50 dol- |lars. The very next day Norwood |
bought himself a trowel and
quietly began to teach himself
bricklaying, practicing spreading
motar and laying brick with
halves and broken pieces dis-
carded on the job.
“By the time he got through,”
a friend says, ‘he could beat any-
body from Tuskegee or any other
school when it came to fancy
brick-work.”” The walls and build-
ings of every school in the At-
lanta University Center will be
found to bear mute testimony
to Robert Norwood’s self-taught |

All this, along with his masonry
business and his work with the
NAACP, the Atlanta Negro Voters
League, his Lodge 600 Masonic
affiliation and his sparkplug role
in the Thomasville Civic Club
would seem to be a gracious
plenty. But as his wife notes,
very little is allowed to get in
the way of his singing. Mrs. Nor-
wood, on the other hand is at
least partially to blame for the
fact that her husband and his
singing group are forever shut-
tling back and forth between At-
lanta, Chattanooga, Knoxville and
other stopping-off places where
members of the United Singing
Convention and kindred groupsgather to blend their voices in
friendly competitive Christian
song. He claims she first got him
interested in singing. Mr. Nor-
wood’s group is Class # 1 of the
Convention and has 50 sopranos,
tenors, altos, baritones and basses
lon the rolls — at least 35 of
whom are ready to tune up and
take off at a moment’s notice.
Mr. Norwood, a member of the
Bible Way Church on Forrest
Park Road, Elder I. W. Bollinger,
pastor, also sings in his church
choir.
With 17 grandchildren now ac-
| counted for, several sons and
daughters living only a few doors
away and their youngest son
teaching in Birmingham and mak-
ing plans to complete work on a

ing varmints and give them a|
rousing vote of thanks.

kneeling benches were covered with white satin.
The bride, given in marriage by her cousin, Mr. Reese Johnson,Jr., was a vision of loveliness as she walked down the aisle in her
wedding gown of chantilly lace over satin, the bodice fashioned in
princess style with a sweetheart neckline and tiny white satin but-
ton-down front and long sleeves ending in points at the wrist fastenedwith white satin buttons. From the princess bodice the skirt with
semi-fullness in front flowed in many folds in back into a chapel
train. Her veil of illusion attached to a tiara of seeded pearls
crowned her with radiant beauty. She carried a white satin-covered
prayer book topped with twin orchids, lilies of the valley and flow-
ing white streamers. Her jewelry was a strand of pearls, a gift
from the groom. The bride's gown was designed and made by her
grandmother, Mrs. Ossie Cash. The bride's only attendant, Mrs. Ruby
Baldwin, wore a ballerina length dress of aqua taffeta with a princess
bodice, scalloped neckline and full skirt with matching headdress and
shoes and short white gloves. Her jewelry was earrings and a strand
of pearls, a gift from the bride. She carried a boquet of lilies of the
valley centered with yellow chrysanthemums fastened with aqua rib-bon.

With JoiBy Emarie Joi Thompson
Ah, teens, could you and I with
laws conspire,To bug that crazy segregation
scene entire,
Would we not straighten out all
that mixed-up jazz,
And make the scene, like, nearer
to our heart’s desire?
—“Omar, Jr.”
What really gets teens to jitter-
ing in their jumpers is that some
“elder berries” (adults) figure
most teens are too ‘‘beat” to
really get with this human rights
jazz. They seem to think we're
“nervous in the service’ because
we don’t have silver sprigs in our
wigs. Well, we really dig that
experience bit — we’ll “take you
to our leaders” — but there've
been a few teens who've buzzed
around in history, too. Like:
Paul Lawrence Dunbar, who
wrote poetry while piloting an
“up-and-down” (elevator); Joan
of Arc, who was “way out” with
a vision at 17; Booker T. Wash-
ington, who hit the footpath at 16
for 300 miles to get his cranium
crammed; Lafayette who was a
blast in the Revolutionnary War
at 19 — and then there was a
lad named David who did a sling-
shot solo!
SOCIAL LIGHTS
Things were really jumpin’ in
the “‘wide open spaces” of Harvey
Bowen, Jr.'s home on Saturday.
The ‘“Rigal Twenty” (formerly
the Sportsmen) made sweet music
with another one of their famous
gigs. The “U.S. Incs.” (Unique
Socialites, Inc.), the girls’ club as-
sociated with the ‘“Rigal Twenty,”
hit the scene in similar casual
clads, wearing their Club colors.
Another up and coming Club, the
“La Capris,” met Saturday at the |home of Miriam Hewitt on Fair-
hurn Road. This group of 25 girls
is headed by capable and affable
Miss Marjorie Anderson.
The College Park Civic andEducational Club, headed by Mrs.
Eva L. Thomas, will present a
“Debut to Society,” featuring
eleven girls, all seniors at Fulton
High. The program will be held
this evening (Sunday, September
25) at 5:00 p.m., in the College
Park Recreational Center.
Note to students who help plan
Inaugural Balls: You will have to
do some super planning to match
that “ball of a Ball” the Archer
High student body gave last
Thursday night. Their new Prez,
able Jesse Lewis, of whom they
are very proud, is equally proud
of his co-students for their sweettreat.
Welcome to Miss Janet Bolton,
who comes to Atlanta after athree-year stay overseas in Eur-
ope. Janet is enrolled at Wash-
ington High as a Junior. Maybe
she’ll have some interesting tales |
to tell about teens of other lands.
And Washingtonians (High) are
tittering over that dizzy Talent
Show the teaching staff put on
recently. You tell em, teachers!
You've got the class!
Dawdling in the dorm at Spel-
man makes for a cool Sunday
afternoon. Visiting hours are full
of friends, frenzy and frolic. The
“inmates” are just getting settled
| down to enjoying their ‘home
{away from home.” Chatted with
Leola Laster, Sandra Griffin, Car-
olyn Wyatt, Debra Dorsey from
Birmingham, Lucia Hollaway andmy ‘“‘sister’”’, Pat Washington.
C.C.D.
“The C.C.D.” (Confraternity of
Christian Doctrine) will get under
way for the first of its weekly
meetings on Monday, September
26, at 7:30 p.m., at St. Paul of
the Cross School. Last season this
group sponsored fine and interest-
ing meetings and several solid
social affairs.
Tid Bits
Preston Dotson, a ‘‘picketer,”
picked Tennessee A & I State for
his college and is now enrolled
there as a freshman.
A movie mag. reports that
Johnnie Mathis’ dressing room
caught fire while he was rehears-
ing. Now, really! How “hot” is
melting Mathis?
They do say that our balloon
and now looks like an old prune!Anybody you know?

It was a gala affair on Satur-
day, September 17, when one of
Atlanta’s top male social clubs,
“The Amiketos” entertained their
many friends with their annual
dance at the Magnolia Ballroom.
The club colors, maroon and
white, were carried out to the
very end. Upon entering, each
guest was presented maroon and
white ballpoint pens inscribed
“Club Amiketos 1947-60’’. Center-
ing the dance floor was the beau-
tiful electric fountain which is
traditional for this group of young
men. The club table was artistic-
ally decorated by member Frank
Williams and his lovely wife,
Louise, with maroon and white
satin, centered by deep red and
white carnations. A lovely setting!
Completing the color scheme, the
members were dressed in after-
five attire including maroon silk
dinner jackets.

through their activities. The gen-
eral attitude, however, seemed to
be one of ‘wait and see’, coupled
with the feeling that something
more than token or temporary
employment should be forthcom-
ing in both Negro neighborhoods
and downtown areas.
Among the comments given the
Inquirer reporter are the follow-
ing:
Mrs. P. Q. Yancey:
If the above reports are a true
statement of fact, it is encourag-
ing and indicates recognition of
the obvious fairness of affording
employment, at least to some ap-
preciable extent, to the people
whom it serves. The orderly pro-
tests which have sought to em-
phasize the need for such recog-
nition have been without malice
or selfish interest and are con-
cerned only with the human dig-
nity which dictates that no man
should spend his dollar to pur-
chase discrimination.
An Atlanta Businessman:
I don’t know if that will satisfy
the community completely. I
wouldn't like to say that it's suf-
ficient until I knew what their
policy was to be.
Reverend William Holmes
Borders:
The courageous, daring students
almost completely of themselves
have compelled financial power to
employ Negroes where most of
us thought it impossible. It isdisturbingly wonderful. We are
forced to give it to the students.
They are on the march to imple-ment democracy. We have no al-ternative but to support them.They should push for more ad-vances, but the time should bedecided.

OLYMPIC HIGHLIGHTSAn Inquirer “In Person” Report
No. 2 in a SeriesBy Hubie Jackson
President of The Extra-Point ClubThe Stadio Olympico recently
* built is one of the most modern
=
in Europe, if not the world. It is571 yards long and 150 yards wide.
It can contain one hundred thou-
sand people and reportedly can
be emptied in eleven minutes. It
is at the foot of Monte Mario, oneof Rome's many hills (ranging innumber from 7 to 23, depending
upon your tour guide). Within a
stone’s throw, is the Stadio Dei
Marmi (the marble stadium) with
a seating capacity of twenty thou-
sand, used by the athletes for
practice and warm-ups immedi-
ately prior to Olympic competi-
tion.
The Stadio Olympico is an
emerald jewel in a concrete set-
ting when viewed from the air. It
provided an excellent sports stage
for the most tension-packed mo-
ments of the greatest Olympiad
in history. Some of the super stars
of the Dramatis Personae of this
drama of athletic triumph and
tragedy world were:
1. ARMIN HARY, Germany,
~ reputed to have reflexes threetimes faster than the average
man. This enables him to get a
tremendous start and for 50 yards,
" he is probably the fastest man
*
alive. In fact, he broke twice in
the finals of the 100 méter but|was only charged with one vio-
lation, as the judges could not
determine in the first instance
whether he or Sime, U.S.A., was
responsible. Incidentally, in Olym-
pic competition, two false starts
eliminate a competitor. He is the
holder of the new Olympic Record
of 10.2 and co-holder of the World
Record of 10 seconds flat with
H. Jerome of Canada.
2. RAFER JOHNSON, USA,
former president of the student
body at UCLA, was the first Ne-
gro in the history of the games
to carry the American Flag in the
Olympic Parade. He won the
Decathlon, scoring 8,392 points,
for a new Olympic Record. He
again was accorded the title of
World's Greatest Athlete. He holds
the world’s record in the Decath-
lon of 8,683 points. Though pushed
to the limits of his physical en-
durance by K. C. Yang, of Na-
tionalist China (a buddy at
UCLA), his performance was re-
markable. The rules of the Olym-
pic games require the Decathlon
to be completed in two successive
days. The first day’s competition
was delayed in late afternoon
from two to three hours by a
cloud burst. These events were
not completed until nearly 11:00
P.M. under the lights. Too much
credit could not be given K. C.
Vang, who was second to Johnson
by a scant 55 points.
3. Russia’s R. SHAV LAKADZE
who won the high jump, setting a
new Olympic Record of 7° 1”
4. OTIS CRANDALL DAVIS,
U.S.A., who set an unbelievable
world record of 44.9 seconds in
the 400 meters. He is 28 years of
age with only two years of track
experience to his credit. He pacedhimself beautifully from last in
the back stretch to win by a hair
in a photo finish from Kaufman
of Germany, Europe’s best. When
the final decision was announced,Davis jumped up and down in un-
controllable joy like a yo-yo. This
Negro star from the University ofOregon was the only man on the
U. S. Track Team to win a flat
race. .
5. Australia’s incomparable
HERB ELLIOTT, undefeated in
his career in the mile or 1500
meter events, set a World's Rec-
ord in the 1500 meters of 3:35.56,
the approximate equivalent of a
3:52.6 mile.
6. LEE CALHOUN, U.S.A., who
though pushed to the utmost by
. a teammate, Willie May, won the
110 hurdles to repeat his Mel-
bourne triumph of 1956. Inci-
dentally, in this event, HAYES
JONES, USA, beat Martin Lauer
of Germany, co-holder of the World Record 13.2 with Calhoun,
for the Bronze Medal.
The Climax of this event was
to me one of the high points of
the Olympic competition. To stand
with a crowd of 80,000 at atten-
tion as the “Star Spangled Ban-
ner” was played, as three Amer-
cian Flags flew proudly at the
top of the stadium and then to
look back in the center of the
field and see three stalwart Negro
athletes standing at attention, rep-
resenting a clean sweep in this
event for the United States, was
to me an unmatched thrill.
AND
WILMA THE WONDERFUL
The outstanding stars mentioned
above and all the Olympic win-
ners were great in this toughest
of all Olympic competition. Their
performances will live at least
until the XVIII OLYMPIAD. How-
ever, there was one super star
who shone brightest in the galaxy
of a star-studded athletic firma-
ment. We refer to Miss Wilma
Rudolph, USA, a Junior at Ten-
nessee State A & I University.
Her exploits at Rome will be re-
told and remembered by track
fans for time immemorial.
To paraphrase Leigh Hunt's
well known poem, ABOU BEN
ADHEM:
. Wilma Rudolph (may her
tribe increase!)
Awoke one night from a dream
of peace . . .
And lo, Wilma Rudolph’s name
lead all the rest!If her dreams were peaceful, she
left her rivals with nightmares.
Prior to the start of the Wom-
en’s sprint competition, Wilma Ru-
dolph, USA, holder of the World's
Record for the 200 meters — 22.9
seconds, and Betty Cuthbert, Aus-
tralia, the winner of the 100 and
200 meter events in 1956 in
Melbourne, were co-favorites for
sprint honors. But from the mo-
ment Miss Rudolph tied the World
Record for the 100 meters (11.3)
in the semi-finals to her breath-
taking anchor leg in the final for
the women's 400 meters relay
five days later, she never looked
back — literally or figuratively.
This tall, lithe, brown skinned
beauty, was a symphony of form,
grace and speed.
A native of Clarksville, Ten-
nessee, she is the 17th child in
a family of 19. The fact that she
did not walk until she was 8 years
of age, a victim of childhood
polio, makes her performance the
more remarkable. Her mother
took her regularly for treatment
to Nashville, a distance of 45
miles from home. Coincidentally,
it does appear that ‘her tribe
may increase.” Ed Temple, her
coach at Tennessee State, and
coach of the U. S. Olympic Wom-
en’s Team, told me that her
youngest sister (the 19th child) a
high school student who is train-
ing with him in the summer,
shows as much, if not more, prom-
ise than Wilma did at that stage
of her track development.
To capsule her Olympic ex-
ploits, she competed in three
events for a total of 10 races in
six days. This included the heats,
quarter, and semi-finals and final
in the 100 meters. In addition to
tying the existing World Record
in this event in the semi-finals,
she did an incredible eleven flat
in the final for a new World Rec-
ord which, although dis-allowed
by a slight wind, has been resub-
mitted for approval, from infor-
mation I gathered in Rome. She
ran the heats, semi-finals and
final of the 200 moters. She is
holder of the World Record of
22.9 in this event and Olympic
Record of 23.2. She ran the anchor
leg in the heats, semi-finals and
finals of the Women’s 400 meter’relay which set a new World and
Olympic Record of 44.4. Not only
was she first in each of these ten
races, but she was never pushed.
Thus, it is an open question
among track fans all over the
world as to her ultimate in track
performance. Several of the
coaches with whom I talked are
of the opinion that she is capable

of 10.8 in the 100 meters, if chal- |
lenged. She is the first Woman |
Athlete from the U. S. to win |
three Gold Medals. The late
famed Babe Didrickson won two |
Gold Medals for the U. S. in 1932,
winning the hurdles and the jave-
lin. The only other woman in
Olympic history to win three
Gold Medals was the fabulous
Dutch housewife, Mrs. Fanny
Blankers Koen, who won three |
Gold Medals in 1948. Miss Ru-
dolph was also the first U. S.
Woman Runner to win the 200
meters dash.
The remarkable qualities about
Miss Rudolph, according to her
coach, teammates and those who
had contact with her in the Olym-
pic Village are her modesty,
poise, and gracious acceptance of
plaudits and requests for auto-
graphs and interviews. The fol-
lowing excerpts from a U.P.Lre-
porter at the games and Jesse
Abramson of the New York Her-
ald Tribune, whose coverage of
the games in the Rome Edition
was superb, give a realistic pic-
ture of her performance in the
games. U.P.1., John Marble Cook,
stated in part, “The shy, 20-year
old student from Tennessee, went
into her big event as calm as if
she were going out to mail a let-
ter. She ambled on to the track
wearing a little straw hat that
she has worn constantly since she
started racing. She adjusted her
starting block in her lane, slipped
out of her sweat pants and put
her hat on a bench and without
any expression at all, she took
her position with her long, bronze
legs poised for start . . .”
Jesse Abramson of the race it-
self: “In the final, Miss Rudolph
drewthe inside lane with her five
rivals in her full view, not that
Miss Rudolph needed that help
from the draw; she was much too
good for her opposition. This long,
cool drink of Tennessee Mountain

on top by a foot, straightened out
for the dash to the wire and made
every stride a winning one. Again,

There is no doubt in the minds
f track fans who follow the Olym-
nics that the superb performance
)f this Negro girl in winning three
sold Medals out of a total of 12
won by Americans, was a su-
preme effort which reestablished
American track prestige. There
was an air of quiet confidence
about Miss Rudolph, evidently
shared by her teammates, coach
and the manager of the American
Women’s Team, Mrs. Frances
Kaszabski of Cleveland, Ohio. She
stated two weeks before the
games: “the 100 meters and the

ver -Turner and Washington -

| the brim with action. These were
| two of the best high school foot-
[ ball games witnessed this season
and probably among the best to
be witnessed this year.
In the first game it was Turner
over Carver 20-0. This gamereally
upset the prep predicters, who
had expected Carver to rank
among the top three in the city.
Bobby Thornton opened the
game for Turner with a 28 yd run
and earned the first down of the
game. Thornton was not alone, for
his backfield buddies, the Smith
boys, were also full of fight. These
fellows took the fight to Carver
and never allowed them to relax.
These horsemen scored all 20 of
Turner’s points. Grover Smith, a
wonderfully agile player and an
sxcellent broken-field runner was
top ground gainer -for the Wolver-
ines with 179 yds, but the FB
Thornton, was close behind with
as impressive in yardage gained
but was a valuable man on the
PATs. Thornton was the first
scorer for Turner as Tomer Hill,
lected pay dirt. The TD was bol- |
pered 15 yds to pay dirt.

they were no pushovers. Thomp-
kins, nick-named the Wolverines,
jumped to an early lead. Their
first break came as a Washington
back fumbled on the Bulldog 30
yd line from where an amazingly
fast back, Jesse Roundtree, did
the dirty work. The PAT failed.
Once again the Wolverines took
advantage of a mistake. Two
Washington half-backs were some-
how crossed on signals at the one | 16.
yd line and from there Thompkinsagain scored but failed on the
PAT.
Late in the second quarter
Coach Baker played the first ace,
in the person of Elmore Goodson,
(the spitting image of Gene ‘Big
Daddy’ Libscomb of the Balti
more Colts, even to his number
76 jersey). Goodson delivered with a spectacular 25 yd field goal and
brought hope to the Washington |
fans. The half time score was

Thompkins was not to be out-
done, as they called on their FB,Eugene Patterson to add six to
their score. The score was then
Thompkins 18, Washington 9. Ro-
bert Christopher, a Washington
rookie, caught a pass from QB
Danny Logan, and scampered 54
yds. At this point the other QB
Andrew Vaughn took over and
added a TD. Logan again passed
but this time to Allen making the
score Thompkins 18, Washington
The final score came as
Vaughn passed to Allen at the 15
yd line from which Allen scored
and Goodson added the PAT.
ADDED NOTES:
Allen saved the Bulldogs several
times. His most spectacular save
came as the Thompkin QB passed
into the end zone. Allen inter-
cepted and returned the ball to
the ten yd line. He also made sev-
eral beautiful runs.
The Thompkins team is well
balanced and shows excellent pos-
sibilities.

Student Reports ChangeIn African Attitudes

RICHARD 0. HOPE
Richard O. Hope, a Morehouse
College student from Nashville,Tennessee, was one of 181 Amer-
ican and Canadian students work-
ing in 10 African countries this
past summer. While in Africa,
Hope noticed that traditional at-
titudes held by Africans about
Americans and American Negroes
are subject to change.
His work group was received
very well, Hope reported, ‘‘after
we had proved that we were in-
terested in working with them.”
He remarked that during his first
weeks in Senegal, spent at the
Cite Universitaire, described by
him as ‘“‘a modern French struc-
ture,” the attitude of the African
students was “antagonistic to-
ward Americans. They seemed
leery of our democratic form of
government. After getting to know
each other as individuals, we be-
came very good friends.”
The major questions asked by
the Sengalese of the Americans
had to do with segregation in the
United States, the U-2 incident,
the Caryl Chessman case and theAlgerian situation. “They consid-ered America-to be one big South,” Hope said.
He also Irentioned that the Sen-=|.lar to Southern grits.

galese students felt that the Amer-
ican Negroes were not proud of
their heiritage. However, Hope
reported, this attitude changed af-
ter association with other Amer-
icans.
Hope made the trip as a mem-
ber of Operation-Crossroads Af-
rica, an independent project sup-
ported by its student participants
and donations from interested in-
dividuals and private foundations.
The countries the students vis-
ited were Ghana, Togoland, Li-
beria, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Da-
homey, Senegal, Sierra Leone and
Guinea. Twenty-seven states and
five Canadian provinces were
represented by the students, who
came from more than seventy
colleges and universities.
The Reverend James H. Robin-
son, director of Operation-Cross-
roads Africa, established his head-
quarters in Accra. During the
summer he visited many of the
work camps.
Hope told the Inquirer that the |
purpose of the trip was to learn
about Africa and for Africans to
learn about America through liv- |
and playing to-|
gether. “Through this method of |ing, working,
personal contact, we experienced
a cross-fertilization of ideas and |
cultures which gave us a true |
understanding of another people,”
Hope continued. The more tangible |
purpose of the project was to aid |
in the development of Africa by |
building schools, roads, libraries, |
clearing fields, and helping in
furthering Africa’s medical prog- |
ress. Hope and his work group
completed one school and a two- | —
block road, and began construc-
tion of another school.

_|as a fulfillment of certification

Teachers in our public school
system will be even more fa-
vorably disposed toward foreign
travel since a recent decision by
the Tax Court of the United
States recognizes the tax-deducti-
ble status of travel expenses in-
curred by a teacher. The interpre-
tation of Section 162 of the 1954
Code seems on firmer ground to-
day. Specifically, the following
clears up this point:
“Expenses for Education. (a)
Expenditures made by a tax-
payer for his education are de-
ductible if they are for educa-
tion (including research activi-
ties) undertaken primarily for
the purpose of:
(1) Maintaining or improving
skills required by the taxpayer
in his employment or other
trade or business or
(2) Meeting the express re-
quirements of a taxpayer's em-
plover, or the requirements of
applicable law of regulations,
imposed as a condition to the
retention by the taxpayer of his
salary, status, or employment.”
The Tax Court's interpretation
of this section recognizes travel
as a legitimate professional ex-
pense.

I'd better introduce the person-nel in the MJT plus 3 before I
give you my ‘‘one-sided’’ opinions.
The group hails from Chicago.
The Modern Jazz Two means
Walter Perkins and Bob Cran-
shaw. The ‘plus Three’ is Harold
Thomas. These five pieces make
up a flaccid quintet of piercing
supposed-to-be-jazz musicians.
A few years ago, Sonny Rollins
composed a song called ‘De-
cision”, which was as funky and
soulful as Horace Silver's solo in
“Senor Blues.” Recently I heard
a song called “Sleepy.” It was
played by the MJT plus 3 and was
supposed to be an original. com-
posed by one of the members of
the group. If you have nothing
better to do tomorrow, go to your
favorite record shop and ask for
Blue Note 1542, a Sonny Rollins
recording featuring Donald Byrd
and Wynton Kelly. Then ask for
and listen to a Vee Jay recording
by the MJT plus 3, especially
“Sleepy.” If you don’t hear the
same thing, I'm insane.
I won't waste too much time
telling you about the sounds-like-

are the things I dug and the things

Bobby Timmons sounds of Mabern

something once, so I'll leave him

it, he apparently forgot how to
play. Can Doug Hudson see why
he’s not in New York? When peo-
ple hear a jive altoist and forget
about Bird so long, they don’t
know what a real alto is like. Are
you there, Charlie Parker fans?
If so, have you heard Doug Hud-
son?
The drummer means well, but
I think he ought to get a rock &
roll gig.
O yeah, one more thing. I didn’t

6) It's Only a Paper Moon
Alfred Lion, the owner of Blue
Note Records. Inc., is probably
one of the hippest of all record
producers. He has now released
another good album. Lion has pre-
sented the most important jazz-
men in this era and is constantly
prognosticating the success of
musicians of the next era.
In “The Big Beat’, the beat is
big and more. Blakey displays
more rhythmic concepts than
Sonny Rollins might. Art puts
emphasis on the bass drum and
sock cymbal as Bud and Tatum
would emphasize their tactic runs.
Blakey's ryhthmic recipiency of
unison gives a group the inspira-
tion that formerly only Max of |
Klook would give.
People often say that his drum-
ming is too loud. No matter how
loud Blakey got. I would still get
knocked out.

PAGE EIGHT THE ATLANTA INQUIRER
| Who's Got The Blocs?The Inquirer | It would ill behoove the Southern
| managers and Northern owners toSpeaks(Continued from page one)
The results would seem to sug-
gest that our Negro voters did not
cast their ballots in blind and
reckless selfishness. Indeed, the
Atlanta Negro Voters League de-
serves the applause of all our
citizenry for the thought, time and
untiring effort it devoted to giv-
ing voters in every neighborhood
a chance to hear and see the can-
didates. On this score praise isalso due to the All-Citizens’ Voter
Registration Committee, the West-
side Voters League and other in-
dividuals and groups which playeda part in providing every possible
opportunity for informing the
electorate.
We sometimes wonder just what
it is the guardians of ‘local cus-
tom’ wish. Doubtless it would be
cozy enough for them if all of us
humbly bared our throats to the
sacrificial knife. Certainly it can-
not be denied that there are those
among us who still do just that by
failing to register, or refusing to
vote, or ordering by telephone
from stores which are being boy-
cotted on the basic issues of jobs
and human dignity. But surely it
cannot be expected in the year
1960 that all of us will con-
spire against ourselves in building
higher the Chinese Wall of ‘Local
Custom.’

piously deplore ‘blocs’ when they
themselves consitute one of the
most powerful anti-democratic
combines the Negro has ever had
to contend with. What else in-
deed, has the Negro known all his
days but the courteous or openly
hostile opposition of one ‘bloc’ or
another? They don’t ‘mean him
any harm” but all the while they
do a pretty effective job of ham-
stringing him. The politicians who
accept the votes but are strangely
inactive or impotent when the
practical questions of decent jobs
or equal treatment under the law
arise. The solid wall formed by
public and private officials when
the matter of training Negro in-
ternes and providing equal hospi-
tal status for Negro physicians is
at issue. And the role of the
church in helping, either by si-
lence or by open complicity, to
stiffen the wall of ‘local custom’
is so well known that even pro-
fessing Christians accept it as
they do the setting of the sun and
the appearance of the stars which
they claim to believe are declara-
tions of God’s glory and reminders
of His watchful Presence in the
Universe.
We do not for a moment deny
that the merchant, the politician,
the churchman, all have problem
— some of them very real and
very tough — which are fixed
deep in the foundations of ‘the
Southern way of life.” The fact
remains that despite all the blocks
which have been piled one on the
other to form the towering wall
of ‘local custom’, the trumpets
are about to blow. And most
Southerners know enough about
Jericho to guess what will happenthen.
