Any one who has read a 1928 pamphlet on inter-marriage by George S Schuyler will not be too surprised by this phenomen since even atthat time Mr. Schuyler was able to point to a far less vehement opposition to mixed marriages by white women than by their male counterparts. The two groups which have tradition ally shown the strongest resist ance to intermarriage have been white men and Negro women. This less prejudiced attitude on the part of white women seems j to be reflected in other spheres of ' racial contact. In my own case— ‘ on a Greyhound bus traveling from Knoxville to Louisville—a white woman passenger from the Tennessee hills, who was a com plete stranger to our test group, left the bus and vehemently ar gued with the station manager in behalf of my right to sit any where. Her spontaneously inter vention on the side of justice was probably the decisive factor, for in ten or fifteen minutes the bus re sumed its trip and I was neither evicted nor arrested. This aspect of the trip, which was jointly sponsored by the Con gress of Racial Equality and the Fellowship of Reconciliation, was not of course the most significant. Other participants will write in subsequent articles in this space about other phases. There were soldiers and sailors who paid no attention to our inter-racial group or even appeared sympathetic. Other men in uniform were overt-1 ly hostile, and in one case a sol dier reported to the bus driver that a “n-r was sitting up front.” Certain drivers were pol ite, and in routine “don’t care” fashion went through the famil iar song and dance about ‘‘com pany regulations” and state jim crow laws. f'Tm not working for the U- S. Supreme Court,” one dri ver remarked in reference to the Morgan decision.) But on the other hand some ‘‘red neck” drivers seemed pos sessed of a burining personal de sire to maintain segregation. On a train test from Nashville to Louisville two members of our group sitting in the “white” coach were told by the conductor that if they had been in Alabama, he would have thrown them through the window. From one day to the next—from one hour to the next—we never knew what to expect. Out of all the uncertainty and fuzzy racial lines, however, one conclusion was irrefutable: the average white pas senger is relatively indifferent to • seatoing arrangements on busses and trains, and only the railoads, bur companies and public officials seem determined to prolong jim crow travel. When no popular de mand existsfor a hoary custom, it is obvious that the rigid pattern of Southern race relations is com ing apart at the seams. / 1 v “Jt Pays To Look WeU” MAYO’S BARBER SHOP Ladies ard Children’s Work A Specialty 2422 Lake Street /■ 1 1 ■' LAKE SHOE SERVICE Note Is The Time To Get Your Shoes Rebuilt!

Raine8, Pastor Mrs- jeanle English, Reporter Sunday School 9:30 a. m. Morn ing Worship 11 a. m. We were happy to be present another first Sunday amidst our brothers and sisters, to be able to kneel around the alter and offer a prayer of thanks to God for ourselves and others. Sciipture lesson by our pastor was from Hebrews 11:32-40. Sar mor\ Hebrews )l:36-38. Verses were used as the texL Theme: Hall of Fame and the Gateway Thereof. Those having received a promise traveled on in faith. We should not be concerned about having our names in the Hall of Fame in the sport world nor any other Hall of Fame, except the Christian Hall of Fame- Abraham wrote his name in the Hall of Fame. Enoch wrote his name in the Hall of Fame. He pleased God and was taken into Heaven, whole body and soul. If you want to be famous, strive to please God. To please man is folly; to please God is Eternal Life. We enjoyed another of Rev. Raines’ inspiring sermons. In bur daily prayer for ourselves, let us also remember the shut-ins.

Story of Africa By BLANCHE ALICE RICH Africa 1947, is a different con tinent from the “dark" one so indelibly imrpessed upon the minds of the majority of the people in BLANCHE ALICE RICH our country. There are still many dark places, it' is true, and there are still the sequestered forests, villages and the jungles and the deserts- But there is today an Africa awake and alert to what is going on in the world, and Afri cans eager to have a part in those goings-on. Throuhout Africa the cry is un animous: they want, “education and industry.” It is the voice of :he people, from the village to the city ,from the ignorant to the edu cated, from the poor to the rich, from the worker to the ruler. It .s one and the same determination to build a new continent in ‘Brightest Africa.” Some people still call Africa the dark or un known. The names of a few mis sionaries, merchants or explorers, the secret unhappy consciousness of the evil slave traffic; that is all most of us know of Africa, in fact all that many of us wanted to know. The desire to communicate now comes out of Africa. Not one voice but many must speak. Africa has many returning vet erans who have seen the mechan ized and mental skill of men who are products of our colleges and universities. They now want to see their country go forward and progress. We are only just beginning to realize that Africa is a huge place. It is not a country, it is the sec ond largest continent in the world, whose area is twelve million square miles- It is not a land of savages. Neither i it a land of wilderness. Everywhere is mystery. Force your way through the forest think ing you will find some solution, and the jungle closes after you pass, and now the mystery lies behind you, as well a before. You are swallowed up in it. This tro pical world teems with life, but to you it seems unpeopled: You can follow the windings of an Afri can trail from dawn until dark and never see a living creature. They peer at you through a wall of green; alert and motionless, but never a glimpse do you see of them. They evade you. The very birds that seem to call to you in the distance .will not await your coming. They fly afar, bearing on the wings of mystery that you seek. Nature holds her breath as you pass and the land is mute. As evening draw in and the swift night falls you may hear, the slow, measured, mysterious throb of a drum- These barbaric drum beats, relayed from town to town in a strange language which no white man has ever read. They can, in a few hours bear a mess age across Africa. Or it may be the long, moaning note of a horn, like the wraith of a sound, com ing from nowhere, and filling all the distances with its sobbing melody. But you will never see the hand that smites the drum, nor him who winds the horn. But the mystery of Africa is not unfriendly, nor is its silence forbidding or sinister. Rather it is inviting, alluring. It beckons you on. Surely at the end of that jungle corridor it will wait for you. Around the next bend in the trail it will stand with smiling greetings. And so men have been lured on and on. No man who has fallen under the spell of its peo ples can ever be but an alien and a stranger in any other part of the world. There have been many business people and writers who went to Africa and now they are building their homes there- I have heard and read if you ever go to Africa one time you always want to go back. There have been many outstand ing people who have contributed much of their time and devoted their lives toward the advance ment of Africa, one of them is Carl E. Ackeley. I just finished reading one if his books, “In -BEATRICE L. MORGAN Drcmatc Studio • ATTRACTIVE TEACHING METHODS. • RECITALS.

His life work will be assembled in the African and Roosevelt Halls of the American Museum, in bronzes, in great groups of the elephant, and all of the animals, each group repre senting his unerring portrayal of the character of the animal and his sympathetic admiration of their finest qualities. He has come very close to death on three oc casions in making close observa tions. It think he seems to favor the elephant, more than any of the other animal. He spent many months studying all about the African elephont. He studied about them on the plains, in the forests, in the bamboo, and upon the mountains. He watched them in herds and singly, studied their paths, their feeding groups and everything about them. He says they are the most fascinating of all the animals on this earth One of the experiences I enjoy ed reading was the way he de scribed some of the characteristics of the elephants. One night he heard the squeal of an elephant, then more and more squeals, and occasional trumpeting. It was a continuous roar and suggested a tremendaus herd. There is little danger of elephants attacking a camp and there is no way to study them at night, so Mr. Ackley went to bed. He got up early the next morn ing. The elephants had moved to the edge of the forest. There were at least seven hundred. He wnt upon a rock and watchd them as they were drifting in. The sun was was coming up. The monkeys greeted one another, everything was waking up. There was not a breath of air- All the forest was awake and moving about. There was a continuous roar of noise, but above it all was the crashing of trees as the elephants moved into the forest at leat a mile wide. I think that must have been a wonderful sight to see. Then an elephant detected his wind and wheeling about let out a scream. Instantly every sound ceased. Everything was quiet. The monkeys, the birds—all of the wild life stopped their racket. The ele phants stood still and listened. Then soon he heard the rustling of the trees as though a great storm were coming. It gradually died away, and he realized the elephants had made it as they moved away. rOdinarily if there is any moisture elephonts can travel without making any noise. Inspite of their great bulk they are as silent and sometimes as hard to see a a jack rabbit is- He said one time he so close to an elephant he could hear the rum bling in her stomach, but as soon as she realized his presence the rumbling ceased.
