Eisen hower, chairman of the United ^ States national commission for UNESCO, as one of the replace ments in the existing membership of the commission.

Sports Chit Chat by Virginia Botts Here we are again, sports peo ple. Looks like time for another little write-up. What’s news this week anyway? Now that the tournament is on, the boys games are further and further apart. In fact, one game is scheduled for this week. * * * * Monday night the R.R.M. girls’ club chalked up another victory over Martin Foods with a score of 10 to 4 The girls made some dandy hits and runs and pitcher Faith sure put some good ones over the plate. The girls are still in the league. Let’s give them our support and hope they con tinue to win. * * * * Motoring to Council Bluffs, la., on Tuesday night were Mr. and Mrs. Delmar King, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Botts, and Henry Mc Williams. These fans attended the game between the Kansas Ci ty Monarchs and the Clowns, on whose team Goose Tatum is first bbaseman. It really was an inter esting game and also quite enter taining. At the end of the sixth inning, the Clowns put on a tooth extracting act, with the use of gunpowder, and a fishing act without any fish. It was a good laugh enjoyed by all. Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Rogers witnessed these same acts while in Benton Harbor, Michigan. * * * * Most of the members of the Inde pendents turned out to help dig the dirt for the Christ Temple basement. Believe me, these boys really moved some dirt last Mon. day evening. Then to top it off, they were served a wonderful supper by the ladies of the church. The boys enjoyed doing this work for the good cause and will no doubt be found repeating this act. * * * * Let’s pick up on this Thursday nite’s game between the Indepen dents and the American Foods Bilbo Explains His Racial Views New Orleans (ANP)—Possibly anticipating that the end was near, Sen. Theodore G. Bilbo, ailing, 69-year-old champion of white supremacy, explained his racial views to a Negro editor before death came to him Thursday afternoon. The Mississippi senator lost his fight against cancer of the mouth, a blood clot on the lungs and re sulting complications. ' As he lay on his hospital bed awaiting another mouth operation, Bilbo sent for Leon Lewis, managing editor of “The Negro South,” to discuss his position with regard to Negroes in this country. In commenting upon the unfavorable publicity that he has re 4 ceived, Bilbo said, “People always talk about a great man, even if they don’t like or agree with him. Unless a person can be talked about one way or the other, he doesn’t mean much in public life.” Bilbo explained further that in fighting Negroes he did not hate thegi. “I don’t hate your people,” said he, “nor do I deliberately fight their progress. Don’t you think I have a right to defend my self against any attack launched against me and to defend what I honestly believe is right? I didn’t start any fight against your peo ple. In fact, I feel I’ve done more for their progress in Mississippi than any other individual, especially before I became a target for their blasting.” Despite his objections to social intermingling, Bilbo expressed the belief that interracial unity and progress were possible in the South. “There is room for all of us in the South to progress,” he said, “without pushing me and many other southerners who have ♦definite social beliefs, aside. There are hundreds of Negroes in Mississippi who have learned this and, believe me, we are proud of the progress they are making and the contribution they have made to the state in general. team. This was really an excit ing game, and the boys have look ed forward to playing on the main diamond all year. American Foods took the lead in the first inning by making one score. Our boys stayed right in there until the first of the third, when they scored 3 points. The first of the fifth marked 2 more scores for the Independents. This was fol lowed by 2 more scores in the 1st of the sixth. By this time things began to happen. American Foods came up to bat. Somehow, by the time they stopped batting they had scored 7 consecutive runs. * * * * It was now the last of the sixth and the score was tied 8 to 8. Up come our boys again to the plate. This is the last inning. They must score somehow. And guess what! They did score five more points! Thus ending the game with an other victory chalked up to their credit. This game will be remem bered by a large audience, some seeing our boys play for the first time. * * * * There’s one more game to play in this tournament. Let’s all turn out and give our loudest yell for the boys. More success to them as they have really climbed the ladder to get this far. * * * * Well, folks, your reporter is tired for this week, so let’s read more in next weeks column.

Mrs. Goolsby gave a very interesting talk which was enjoyed by all. -o “Dad, what is influence?” “Influence, my son, is a thing you think you have until you try to use it.” -o How many peas are there in a pint? One (p) Our Children By Mrs. W. B. Davis Very early in life the child must learn that things can not be his simply because he desires them. Do not try to give him everything he demands and wish es. He must develop the habit of foregoing certain of his wants, of giving when he would like to take, of dividing and sharing his toys. He will not understand why he should do these things, but even a little child can appreciate that such acts bring approbation and praise and make other people happy. In this way he will grow to manhood with courage to face the disappointments and failures of every day life. Always avoid bribing, and do not make promises which you can not or do not intend to keep. So often we hear, “Now, Johnny, be a good boy, Mother will buy lots of candy,” or, “Do this and Moth er will give you a penny.” Soon Johnny will no longer be satis fied with one penny, and you must give him 2 and then 3. A child with a little determination can easily work this method to his advantage. Or again, if a reward has been promised and the little girl or boy has made a great effort to do as asked, do you carelessly disregard the just demand for the reward? A child is quick to realize if he is being cheated or deecived. Frequently parents will misrepresent or lie to a child to keep him quiet or to gain a desired result. -o Where are happiness and content ment always to be found? In the dictionary.
