Teen Age Chatter Reporter Dotty Greene Asst. Ruby Lee Harper Asst. Loretta McWilliams XX Hi Chums and Chumletts Mr. Ernest Taylor has returned from a short visit in Little Rock, Arkansas. Miss Melsena Goolsby is spend ing her vacation in Colorado. We hope she will have a nice time. Your reporter Dotty Green celebrated her 17th birthday by giving a party at the Urban League. Those attending were: Joyce Williams, Freddie Powell, Ruby Harper, Dorothy Scott, Rob bie Powell, Bobbie Cooke, Frank King, Leon Wilkins, Lavanda Hill, Billie Mosby, Frank Burden, and Ralph Wilson. Bike riding Monday evening were Joyce Williams, Dorothy Green, Freddie Powell, Ruby Harper, and John Vaughn. “Freddie,” said the Sunday School teacher, “Can you tell me what we must do before we can expect forgiveness of sin?” “Yes sir,” replied the boy, “we must sin.” Four girls of the 4-H Club, Dorothy Green, Iona Adams, Jeannette Vinegar and Ida Ad kins, attended the 4-H demon stration day at Ag College June 13th. Miss Cleo Shakespeare, niece of Rev. Shakespeare, came thru our fair city Monday afternoon. She had been attending a Y-Jteen conference in Omaha, Nebraska. She is from Kansas City, Mo., and was accompanied by two other girls. Our city was certainly graced I with a lovely group of young ladies and fellows last week at tending the District Conference. You missed a treat if you didn’t meet them. Missionaries Cont. from page 5 ties in Africa which is quite e nough and if we had additional money for missionary 'Work, Afri ca is the field in which it could be most profitably invested. On the other hand, it is to be remem bered that during the past 150 years this great nation has been under the heel of the British Em pire and the relations developed between the two have not been on the basis of equality. If we are really interested in being more than mere platitudinous Christians, the Negro must be prepared to share the load in any section of the world within his income. No nation in the world today is in need of fellowship more than India. This country is in need of a real social and religious revolu tion that would reorganize the structure of its domestic social or der. India has been limited in her contacts with the colored ra ces of the world and every race and nation truly interested in the cause of human ’freedom must assist her in achieving maturity. In many respects India is in need of help but it must not be pre sumed that the nation is back ward. This plan cannot be pursued successfully on a denominational basis. All churches would be re quired to pool their efforts to sustain a worthy program. This means that an overall missionary board representing all denomina tions would, be organized and placed in charge of this venture. With cooperation on local matters being very difficult to obtain, could our churches be expected to work jointly at this point? That will be the test of Negro church leadership. Another very important point that must be faced is the integrity of the church leadership in ad ministering a foreign program. Too often have many of our lead ers been found lacking in admini strative ability and plain honesty. If these practices are being fol lowed in national affairs, can these defects be remedied in in ternational projects? Regardless to the outcome I am transmitting the proposal to the appropriate religious bodies and shall contin ue working for the fulfillment of this significant task. The final answer depends on the vision of those leaders responsible for the direction of the affairs of church among Negroes in America.

A sign on one of our roads, "DRIVE 'CARFUL' THE WAGES OF SIN IS DETH'." -o Infantile Paralysis Infantile paralysis—often called polio- attacks few people; 20 cases per 100,000 population usu ally is considered an epedemic. Half of all those who get the disease recover without crippling. Another fourth with good care crippling. Deformities may be prevent ed and crippling lessened by prompt complete and sometimes prolonged medical care. Summer is the chief danger period. If infantile paralysis comes to your community, follow these suggestions.—Call your doc tor immediately if any of these symtoms appear:headaches, nau sea, a cold, upset stomach, mus cle soreness or stiffness, unex plained fever. Infantile paralysis starts in many different ways, most of them just like a lot of other childhood diseases. Be on the safe side, avoid new contacts. Try not to mingle with crowds. Local health authorities decide whether schools and other gath ering places may remain open. If you can help it, don’t take children to public places where they mingle with strangers. —Avoid new contacts. Try not to mingle with crowds.

Too strenuous play, late hours, irregular schedules are possible invitations to attack by polio. —keep clean. Wash hands be fore eating. Keep flies and other insects away from food. Don’t leave garbage uncovered. —Consult your family doctor as to the advisability of removal of tonsils and adenoids, or other mouth and throat surgery, during the usual epidemic months. —Don’t worry about expense, if your doctor says it’s polio. Get in touch with the Chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis nearest your home. The telephone book or your Health Department will furnish the ad dress. Costs of treatment will be paid in whole or in part, if you can’t pay them yourself. Few families even with substantial in comes, can meet the full cost. —Be guided by sound medical advice. Do everything your doc tor advises. Doctors agree that infantile paralysis can best be cared for in hospitals. There is no known cure for infantile par alysis. -Good medical care may prevent or correct some deformi ties. There will be some who are permanently paralyzed. Do not believe those who, for one reason or another, promise to cure these cases.
