ISeil Scott
Neil Scott, president of Neil
Scott and Associates, a public re
lations and promotion firm loca
ted in New York City, announced
today that his organization is lea
sing the Yankee Stadium for a
football game on January 1, 1947.
The game will be called The Em
I ancipation Bowl Game. It will hr
I played between the two top teams
| of the thirty-three grade 'A’ Ne
j ero colleges that participate in
! football. The game is being called
' The Emancipation Bowl Game in
! memory of Abraham Lincoln who
signed the Emancipation Procla
mation on January 1, 1865, Scott
stated.
Philosophizing further Scott said
that this act on the part of our
immortal President gave the Ne
groes of America their physical
e~ ancination. and at a time like
this, when both the world and A
merica seem to be in the throes
of so much hitter conflict we think
that it is both fitting and wise
that we Americans should reded
icate ourselves to the social prin
ciples of the great emancipator.
Scott was critical of his genera
tion of Negroes when he said:
“Many Negroes of this genera
tion have been taught to belittle
the heroic act of Lincoln which
cost him his life and therefore, we
take this method of reminding
them that it is time for them to
return to the Lincolnian Ideal of
total emancipation”.
Scott stated that it would be a
great boon to college football and
to amateur sports in general to
say nothing of the prestige that
would be added to the Negro ath
lete and to Negro educational in
stitutions. if two of their top rank
ing teams could slug it out for a
mythical before a vast New York
metropolitan audience.
Scott stated that he has contac
ted and is receiving the coopera
tion of thirty colleges in such a
venture as the Emancipation Bowl
Game. These colleges are West
Virginia State College, Bethune
Cookman college. Bishop college,
Dillard University. Fisk Universi
ty; Hampton Institute Howard U
niversity: Johnson C. Smith Uni
versity, Knoxville college, LeMoy
ne college; Lincoln University, Li
vingstone college, Morehouse col
lege; Morris Brown college, Phil
ander Smith college; Samuel Hus
ton college, Shaw university; Tal
ladega college, etc.
Scott whose idea it was to stage
the affair for Isaac Woodard the
Negro ex-GI whose eyes were gou
ged out by Aiken, S. C. police, at
Lewisohn Stadium some weeks ago
said that a portion of the funds
will be given to selected charities
of our nation without regard for
the race or religious belief for
which the charities are fundamen
tally designed to serve.
INSULATION GYPS REVIVE
AS COLD WEATHER NEARS
Cold weather and the insulating
gyp have arrived together, the Bet
ter Business Bureau reports.
Modern insulation properly ap
j plied has proved one of the out
standing successes of recent years
in improving home comfort in win
! ter and summer Rush Barns, gen
eral manager of the local office of
the Better Business Bureau says,
but as in every successful new field
a few unscrupulous promoters are
attempting to trade on the good
will developed by reputable firms.
Spring and fall, the seasons when
rapid temperature swings, makes
people prepare for the coming sea
son, appear to bring out more in
sulation complaints than other
times of the year. This year, a;
new home construction resumes,
complaints against builders are
more numerous than in recent
years.
The trouble with insulation is
that you have to take it largely
on faith. In a new home you can’t
rip off the wall or roof to check
the builder's claim that it is in
sulated. Such claims sometimes
turn out to be packed only by the
thin layer of standard building pa
per used in all homes to keep out
wind and weather, says Barns.
If the builder is crafty, he may
take you to a section of wall that
has not yet been plastered and
has insulation in place. You have
to take his word for it that the
other wall and roof sections which
have been plastered over and fin
ished are filled with the same ma
terial.
If you are having your present
home insulated you can’t watch
the workmen all the time to see
that some spots are not skinned
thinner than others to stretch ma

investigated several local builders
and insulating firms in decent
years. The majority are fair and
honest. Barns says, but in the in

the public’s best assurance of sat

dealing with any unknown firm is
to check first with the Better Bus

RED CROSS SENDS
VACCINE TO LIBERIA
ST. LOUIS—Ten thousand pints
of smallpox vaccine has been ru
shed to the Republic of Liberia by
the American R^j Cross to combat
a smallpox epidumc, according to
an announcement made here by Dr
Raymond F. Barnes, Midwestern
Red Cross Area director of medi
cal and health services. An addit
ional 10.000 pints donated by the
United States Public Health Ser
vice went with the Red Cross ship
ment to the West Africa Negro
Republic. The vaccine left the Un
ited States Sept. 1 in a special air
plane charteded by the Firestone
company.
The smallpox outbbreak was re
ported by R. C. Lanier, American
minister to Liberia, who cabled
that the epidemic had struck in
the inland districts but that so far
the death rate had been low.
In connection with the shipment
of the vitally needed medicine, Dr
Barnes said, the smallpox vaccine
was characterized by National Red
'Cross Chairman Basil T. O’Connor
as a gift from the American peo
ple.
If further vaccine is needed, the
St. Louis Red Cross spokesman
pointed out, it will be sent imme
diately bby the Red Cross.
I‘LEASED’ OIL RIGHTS
POSSIBLE LYNCH MOTIVE
NEW YORK. Sept. 5th—A sordid
but familiar story of oil rights ob
; tained under peculiar circumstanc
■ es may emerge as a possible mo
! tive in the blow torch, cleaver, tor
ture lynching of John C. Jones, a
Negro veteran who fought valiant
ly in the Battle of the Bulge. Jones
Ivnched bv a mob in Mindan, La.,
August 5th, was a grandson of the
former owner of several oil wells
which were discovered on his pro
perty and later leased’ to a pow
erful oil syndicate.
According to Albert Harris, Sr.,
father of young Albert Harris, who
escaped death at the hands of the
same mob which tortured his cou
sin. the 76 year old grandfather
of the two youths leased’ his wells
many vears ago. although he re
mained poverty-stricken. One large
well is still pouring thousands of
barrels for which the aged Negro
receives $1.50 per month. The cir
cumstances under which these
rights were obtained were consid
ered odd according to Mr. Harris.

By CARL HELM
NEtV YORK —Every once in a
while, on this magical island be
tween the rivers, you get so strung
up with the glitter and glamor, the
garish and the glut of things that
are man-made and stony, that you
want to sit quietly on grass, beneath
a leafy tree, and consort with small
furry beasties who are harmless—
who don’t care who you are or how
much dough you’re worth—if only
you have a few peanuts on you.
So you buy a big bag and go to
Central Park, the woodland acreage
eo fortuitously set in the middle of
Manhattan, and feed the friendly
squirrels. There’s something'about
having them come trustingly to your
hand, pick a peanut from it, and
send out a call to their pals off the
pathways, that makes you feel hu
man again.
You can’t sit there grim and sour,
ind watch frisk the frolickers that
fou have made happy. You find your
lelf chuckling, then inadvertently
imiling at passersby and children
vho stop to watch the fun. And such
Jun it is, for a few dozen peanuts—
iuch affection you get for ten cents

i men who first reported the Jones
lynching. In stories released thru
out the nation's press through the
wire services it was reported that
photographs of nuds white women
had been found in the lynched ve
teran's pockets. Most of the stor
ies clearly implied that this had
been a possible motive in the lyn
ching which was actually played
down. It has since been established
that both Jones and Harris were
thoroughly ‘frisked’ by law enforce
ment officers during their stay in
the Minden jail. The mob captur
ed them as they were released from
the jail.
