Beckham of the Juvenile Court has asked the City Commissioners to establish a Juvenile Aid Bureau for Negroes in the Police Department. In his letter to the Commissioners, Judge Beckham said that the police protection of Negro children is not adequate, and the situation has resulted in complaints by civic groups. While white children have the protection of the Juvenile Aid Bureau under Capt. Louis A. Allen, and a staff of workers in the Juvenile Court, the court has only one Negro worker on its staff. No Negro police are as- signed to work with Negro Juveniles. The situation is reflected in the business of the court, says the Judge. We have numerous cases of White child-: ren referred to us, but very few Negro children. This is a result of lack of service for Negro children. Judge Beckham also stated that the Coconut Grove Slum Clearance Committee had recently called attention to serious conditions of juvenile delinquency in the Negro areas and asked for community action. There can be no good reason for the city commission to turn down the request for this aid bureau, and we hope the matter will be dealt with without delay. Judge Backham has always shown keen interest not only in his work as Juvenile Judge, but in our community as a whole. -*• NEW LIBRARY OPENS Miami’s new million dollar library opened *to the public this week. It is located in Bayfront Park. The li- % brary is a beautiful marble air-conditioned building of ' which all Miamians are proud. Several Negroes have registered and obtained their cards. If you have not seen this beautiful building, do not fail to do so. INDEPENDENCE DAY Another July 4th has passed. The day in Miami was spent in the usual manner. Business was practically sus- pended and those who cared to, went to the beach and other places for picnics, fishing, etc. It was good news to learn that there were far less deaths over the holidays than in former years. It may be that people are learning to place more value on human lives. ed war? Let us all hope and pray for a world united in peace. “A RACE WITH THE WIND” “A Race With The Wind,” a sensational drama, in three acts by Miami’s own Earl Sawyer, is scheduled to be presented at the Modern Theatre on Friday night August 3. The play has been pre- sented in New York and was re- ceived with great ovation on the part of some of the nation’s lead- ing critics. Sawyer recently re- turned to Miami after an extend- ed stay in New York, where he , attended one of the finest dra- matic schools in the nation. He has been very active in the arts of the stage and* has made good in the big city. Very desirious of presenting one of his own pro- ductions in his home town, he came to Miami primarily for this purpose. He selected A Race With The Wind for his initial presen- tation in Miami. The play is of such a nature that only aduits will be permitted to see it. Saw- yer says it is not a play for the children. Watch for further an- nouncements on this coming at- traction at the Modern theatre on Friday, August 3. BTW ALUMNI FAREWELL BALL AUGUST 30 Even though the time is some- what remote as yet, the Booker T. Washington Alumni Associa- tion is already making plans for Anntal Students’ Farewell Ball, which will be held on Thursday, August 30 at the Rockland Pal- THE SPECTATOR BY ELLIOTT J. PIEZE PEACE OR WAR The world waits patiently on the outcome of the proposed con- ference to be held Sunday, July 8, between representatives of the United Nations and Communist China, which it is hoped will be the first steps towards eventual peace in Korea. General Ridg- way wanted the conference to oe held earlier, in order to save more lives, but China said no—chiefly as a face saving move. At any rate the conference is scheduled to be held Sunday, at Kaesong, just a short distance from the 38th parallel. If pirns go as the United Na- tions’ forces desire, this confer- ence will set the time, place and general highlights for the full peace conference to be held lat- er. Let us all hope that the con- ference serves its purpose, and that real peace soon will be rea- lized. The war in Korea has nev- er had the complete endorsement of the people of the free world, and the loss of life and property has been staggering to say the least. The earlier peace is declar- j ed, the better it will be for the men on the firing line both foe | and friend. No one wins in a war of any kind, and the Korean conflict has been no exception. Shall there be peace or oontinu- % The Moving Finger BV L. A. THOMPSON Independence Day has been and gone again. As usual, some folk were truly thankful and shared some of the spirit of the founding Fathers. Others, not knowing how to enjoy their in- dependence got soaked in booze and some of them swelled the holiday number of deaths. This Finger has often wonder- ed would some up and going or- ganization add to its adult edu- cation program a course on ‘How to spend a Holiday.” But you can’t teach people what they don’t want to know, so . . . fun! “There are not more than 500 Negro men training for the Bap- tist ministry in the entire coun- try, and of these less than 260 are college graduates.” Thus spoke Dr. Edward A. McDowell, jr. at the Southern Baptist National convention which met at Frisco recently. The Southern Baptists are doing something about it by opening the doors of their semin- aries to Negro students. Hope that a large number of the brethren will take advantage of this opportunity. Colored Bap- tists in this country boast of a membership of more than 6,000,*- 000. Certainly we need men trained for the task, or that large number wouldn’t mean much! Real Christianity has a rough road to travel yet. While some men are trying with all their might to practice the brother- hood of man, others are doing just the opposite. According to ANP releases, 65 Baptist churches sponsored a re- vival at the Coliseum in Little Rock, Ark., recently. Joseph Har- ris, a colored brother went into the meeting and took a seat on the “wrong” side. The ushers asked Bro. Harris to move, but he refused. “Several persons be- came angry and dragged him from his seat and through the exit. Two of the White ministers appealed to them to “be good Christians.” One of them, Dr. M. R. McKay, said “We should all pray. For we are all a little small for what has happened.” The atmosphere changed and the large crowd began to sing 1 hymns “in the true revival spirit.” Perhaps Brother Harris’ pres- ence on the wrong side was a good test of what the revival might do in practical Christian- ity. I URBAN LEAGUE PLACES ENGINEER Inter-agency cooperation and team work between the Urban League, Southern Field Division made possible the placement of Mr. Edward B. Lamar in an en- gineering position with the Bon- nerville Power Administration. George L. Edwards, assistant Southern Field Director of the National Urban League screened Lamar for his new engineering assignment after learning from the Urban League of Portland the need for qualified persons at the Bonnerville Power Adminis- tration. The National Urban League has made many significant place- ments of Negroes in positions where they have been able to use their highest skills. Edward B. L&mar holds a B.S. degree in Architectural Engineer- ing from A and T College at Greensboro, N. C. For the past three years he has been employ- ed by the Atlanta Board of Ed- ucation as an instructor of Me- chanical Drawing, Blueprint Reading and Architectural Draw- ing. Lamar states that he has long desired a position related to his field of specialization but had met with no success in his native South. ace. The affair is being planned to be a special send-off to all of the students from Miami and vi- cinity who are going to college next term; and as usual with all Alumni affairs, it is going to be one which will be long remem- bered. More about this later. 3TW ALUMNI TO MEET The regular meeting of the BTW Alumni Association will be held on next Tuesday, July 10, at 8 p.m. at the school. All mem- bers are reminded to be present. ‘ CARE AND TREATMENT OF FEET By GEORGE H. GREENE Doctor of Surgical Chiropody. The profession of chiropody is that branch of medicine which cares for the needs of the human foot in health and disease.

These can only be treated successfully by the chiro- podist who has been trained to treat the foot. In case of serious foot ailments, don’t try home remedies, see a chiropodist.
