E. BIGIBMUND REEVES. Editor GARTH C. REEVES, Business Manager > GREATER MIAMI URBAN LEAGUE The Greater Miami Urban League closed its seventh annual activities on Thursday evening with a Testimonial Banquet in the Flamingo Room of the Mary Elizabeth hotel. The banquet was quite a success. During the even- ing Officers for the year 1952-53 took over their duties. The hew president is Mr. J. E. Preston, a prominent Mi- amian. who has been a very active member and officer of the League since its organization One of the highlights of the anniversary activities was the meeting on Sunday at Bethel AME Church with Mr. Walter. H. Aiken of Atlanta, Ga., as the • principal speaker. Mr. Aiken is a very successful business man. His address on “More and Better Economic Opportunities For Air* was practical and interesting. The audience was not I as large as it should have been, but it was a representative and appreciative audience. On this occasion three Miamians, Dr. A. W. Henry, Dr. William A. Patterson Jr , and Dr. Kelsey L. Pharr, were awarded certificates for outstanding achievements. Dr. Homer L. Pearson of the Jackson Memorial hos- pital who presented certificates to Drs. Henry and Pat-i terson, spoke as follows: *. . “ n is a privilege and honor to be permitted to par-! ttcipate in these exercises. “The men whom we are honoring are but few of the vast number, who thru their untiring efforts, their pa- tience and their prayers, have made this advance possible. They, too, are recognized for their part in this advance- ment in human relations. “Many members of the medical profession in the South have for years realized the unfairness of racial discrim- ination in any form but especially in matters of science. We know that we have no monopoly on brains, brawn nor beauty. We felt that the only way to have a change was to do something about it. So several years ago, it was my good fortune to be appointed chairman of a committee of the Florida Medical Association to formulate plans to •open the doors of organized medicine to those of all races. It was heartening to me to find here in the Deepest South j that there was such whole hearted approval of the plan As you all well know, we not only opened the door to or- ganized medicine but in so doing, the doors to staff mem- bership to several of our best hospitals were also opened. It was my pleasure to recommend both the physicians we honor today to the governing bodies of these hospitals for staff appointment. They have also been recommended for staff membership at Jackson Memorial hospital, and as our departments become better organized they will be advanced to more active positions in their respective specialties. r “You have other Negro physicians here who will be eligible for staff appointments, but all will not be eligible, because to receive these appointments a doctor must achieve and maintain certain high standards in' profes- sional and ethical conduct. Dr. Henry and Dr. Patterson have these qualifications—besides that, they have demon- strated to me so many times in their lives and work the truthfulness of the passage which reads, ‘He that exalteth himself shall be abased; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.* Through their honesty, integrity, pa- tience, humility, intelligence and the high ethical stand- ards they have maintained, they have exalted themselves. May their lives continue to be such that they may ever be shining lights in this community. It is an honor, pleasure and privilege to be allowed to present to these my friends this certificate of merit.** Miss Florida Mae Murray, in very appropriate words, made the presentation to Dr. Pharr. The Miami Times congratulates these gentlemen upon the recognition given them. ? THE ELECTION It is all over, Florida’s new governor will be Dan McCarty of Fort Pierce, who won over Bailey Odham of Sanford by a majority of 42,000. Mr. Odham made a splendid showing. As was expected, Senator Richard Russell of Georgia, won in the race with Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee. Russell got 19 of Florida’s delegates to the Democratic Convention in Chicago while Kefauver received five. The important race for sheriff of Dade County was won by Thomas J. Kelly, ex-sheriff, over the incumbent J. B. “Sonny” Henderson. J. Newton Lummus, Dade County veteran tax asses- sor for more than 20 years, was defeated by John Gautier who polled 66,776 votes to Lummus’ 57,620. George A. THE SPECTATOR BY ELLIOTT J.

The Ravens were great in their one nite stand, at the Harlem Square last Sun- day, but the band in the back ‘ground was lousy to say the least. In fact many of the gue9ts were complaining about the music, and to make an already bad matter \borse, the affair stopped at 1 a.m. instead of the usual 2 am. The Ravens made two appearances during the evening. Brautigam will be our next state attorney. He defeated Glenn C. Mincer; and John D. Marsh was elected as County Solicitor. Grant Stockdale was elected as County Commis- sioner from the Miami Beach district. Constable George Rogers was re-elected.

Politicians and their friends can now take it easier for a while. JUST BROWSIN’ By Paul R. Henry Dr. K. L.
