Inescapable Choices
Apepasement of violence invites violence. That is what Governor
Faubus did. He sowed the wind and Arkansas reaped the whirlwind.
He put force behind a defiance of law and the challenge has been
answered by superior force. This is learning the hard way, the way
most Americans would have preferred to avoid.
President Eisenhower sought to avoid it. But, as Adlai Stevenson
rightly and promptly said, he "had no choice. The combination of
lawless violence and the Governor’s irresponsible behavior has created
a crisis which Arkansas is powerless to meet.” And as the President
pointed out in his TV message to the nation, the mobs in Little Rock
gave no heed to his “cease and desist” proclamation and for the
second day local police had failed to disperse them.
It should be noted that Mr. Eisenhower did not *«m! fedml
troops into Little Rock to impose his will. The school integration
plan thwarted first by the Governor and second by mobs was one
proposed by the local school board and authorized by the federal
district court. Also, as he explained, federal forces are not taking
over the local authorities’ responsibilities to keep order; they are there
to insure that orders of the courts are executed.
Let no one mistake. This was a hard and momentous, but necessary
choice. It raises constitutional issues which tend to unite all Southern
ers and to divide some Northerners. But before alarm becomes hysteria i
it should be noted that this does not presage invasion of the Deep
South by federal armies. The courts have proceeded cautiously in
applying desegregation. They have shown no disposition to order
school integration in areas where there was not evidence of a good
measure of popular consent.
There was this evidence in Little Rock—which was only following,
and following under a gradual plan, other Arkansas cities that have
integrated. Most Little Rock folk preferred unmixed schools but
townspeople and students appeared to be reluctantly accepting the
desegregation plan. Then the curious action of the Governor in using
state power not to uphold the law but to thwart it gave encouragement
to mob rule. Now the good people of Little Rock are having to make
their own hard but necessary choice. As between segregation b>
mob dictate and desgregation under law there should be no uncertainty.
That is the choice for all those elsewhere who had begun to be
tempted by the claim that a little “harmless club-swinging” could
defeat desegregation. Once it was made to appear that violence could
determine policy and mobs could make the law, the lawless minority
in Little Rock would have had a hundred imitators. And mob rule
would not have been limited to this issue. |
That was the prospect which impelled the President’s necessary
choice. That is the danger that now demands a similar necessary
decision from the people of the United States. For, as he said, respect
for law “is the foundation of the American way of life." When the
choice is narrowed down to one between the courts and the mobs the
answer must be clear and positive.
The people of Nashville—where there was also reluctance about
mixed schools—had to make their choice two weeks ago. They decided,
firmly and effectively, that violence, even bombing, would not deter
mine what they should do about their schools. Public opinion crystal
lized, officials cracked down on violence and inciters of violence. They
proceeded quietly to carry out the law. .
Whatever a citizen’s convictions about segregation, the way of
law and reason, the American way of settling issues, lies open. More
than that each has the way of Christian kindness and compassion—so
sadly lacking in the shameful excesses of the last few days. Let no
political demongoguery, no racial hate, no devotion to states rights,
confuse or hamper the essential, the inescapable choices.
News From Around Nebraska
There is a deadlock impending between the PapilUon
Volunteer Fire Department of the town and the Rural Fire De
partment, the Papillion Times revealed last week. The two
groups have been unable to work out an arrangement for Uie
continuation of their work on a cooperative basis. City volun
teers declare they will continue to answer calls in the rural
area but they are trying to work out a deal whereby they will
receive pay for the run on the basis of the amount of equip
ment pressed into use and the number of men who find It
necessary to go. , . . .
The city department has been asking the rural departm nt
to pay a $2,000 standby fee for the service, in addition to fur
nishing one truck and paying half the cost of all the hose used.
The rural department is operating on a taxation basis which
raises about $2,500 per year and they have indicated they think
the charge is too high.
Ed’s. Note: Blair furnishes fire fighting igrvices FREE with
out so much as even asking the rural property owners to buy a
truck or pay for a foot of hose.

Eat A Cool Refreshing Breakfast
Take time to eat a cool, refreshing breakfast and
better you and your family are prepared to cope with the heat of
, hot, Summer day. An attractive breakfast buffet might be ,ust
tiie change of pace that would perk up listless appetites, dulled by
^The buffet need not be elaborate but should provide enough
variety so that each person can selects combinaiton “'breakfast
foods that will appeal to him and at the same time meet the re
quirements of an adequate breakfast An adequate breakfast follows
a basic breakfast pattern m -m landed by leading doctors ana
dietitians to provide »/4 of the daily nutritional requirements for
most people. This basic breakfast pattern calls for fruit, cereal,
milk, bread and butter.
If a member of your family has been advised by his physician
to go on a low-fat diet, you will find a basic cereal breakfast pattern
among the beat because it is low in fat.
Set up your breakfast buffet in the coolest spot you can find. It
might be on the porch, in the garden or patio. If outdoor eating is
not feasible, perhape some indoor location other than the regular
eating place could be more comfortable. Fresh fruit atop cnsp,
readv-to-eat breakfast cereal served with chilled milk is the main
dish for your buffet. Set out several different varieties of breakfast
cereals_this is easy with more than two dozen varieties available
at your grocery store. Provide a choice of two or three fresh fnitta
while they are in season. Honey or cinnamon suga>- add variety.
Be sure the milk Is ice cold. Breadstuff* offer additional variety
with tha many kinds of breads, rolls, and coffeecakea that are
available.
Research at a leading Midwestern university has demonstrated
that breakfast is essential for all ages. The subjects who ate an ade
quate morning meal not only felt better, but they performed better,
especially in the late morning hours.

Christian Women's
Committee Meet
The Christian Women Com
munity Fellowship held their
monthly meeting Tuesday Sep
tember 24th at 1 P.M. Due to the
fact that a meeting was held the
week previous to make way for a
busy schedule and to finish up
loose ends, no business was dis
cussed therefore at this monthly
meeting; only the monthly pro
gram was presented.
After the meeting was called
to order by the president. Mn.
Esther Smith, she turned it over
to the Devotional Chairman. Mrs.
Anna Burtoir of the Immanuel
Community Church, with Mrs.
Gertrude Brooks of Pleasant
Green Baptist Church at the pi
ano. We were led in singing “Je
sus Keep Me Near the Cross ”
Mrs. Burton read verses from the
37th No. of Psalms and scripture*
taken from the 14th chapter of
St. Matthews.
The main substance of Mrs. j
Burton's lesson was dealing with
the experience the Negroes are'
witnessing in the South, particu-l
larly Little Rock, "Fret Not Thy
self because of evil doers, was
the word of encouragement. Each
member was asked for voluntary!
prayers for the safety and endur
ance of our people. This request
was readily answered by all pres
ent. At the close of the devotion,
the president turned the meeting
over to the Program Che*r.riaji,|
Mrs. Minnie L. Dixon of the Ptl-,
grim Baptist Church. Mrs. Dixon
and her committee members pre
sented a skit which cleverly stat
ed the purpose of the organiza
tion, the small cost of its mem
bership fee, and they answered
questions that may arise in the
minds of prospective members »
hout the organization. Members
in the skit were Mrs. Gertrude
