same family an dthere are one
each from two other families.
One was critically ill: the remainder of the 12 cases were
considered quite mild.

Detroit Department of Health
inspecting diildren , that are
contacts to active cases as
well as taking cultures on all
family and school contacts.
....Six persons whose cultures
were poistive for diphtheria are
considered carriers and not suffering from active disease.
This local outbreak is a strong

when the Negro faced almost

George S. Schuyler, n o t e d
traveler ancj brilliant editorial
writer for the Pittsburgh Courier in a special article on the
Booker T. Washington Centennial which is now appearing in
newspapers all over the country.
Schuyler's current appraisal
of Booker T. Washington is
one of many articles contributed by leading writers which
will be published in connection with the Centennial of
Washington's birth, it was announced today by Sidney J.
Phillips, Commission president.
"What the Negro needed (in
the 1890's) was time and weapons to combat the evil influences
of his enemies and detractors,"
said Schuyler, "He needed reassurance of his potentialities,
opportunities, and a prograir
for realizing them. Booker T
Washington supplied bo«h."
Schuyler, who has one o{ thf
most expensive records for per
sonal investigations of racial dis
orders in this country and Latii
America, ana who led in thdenunciation of Communism
among Negroes, claims that "al
friends of the Negro should ex
tend themselves (during thi
Cen'ennial Year) to publicize th<
philosophy and programs of thi
inspired man who did so much
to help resolve the racial conflict in America."
With the hope that a return
to his sane fundamental teachings may again be shown in
present day race relations. President Phillips said that Goodwill

Centennial
The action of the 84th Congress of the United State*, appropriating $225,000 to
celebrate the centennial of Booker T. Washington, lends opportunity to reappraise the
great educator's contribution to Negro advancement.
To properly understand Booker T. Washington's historical role, it must be appreciated
that he came to the forefront during the lowest ebb of race relations in America. At thai
time the Negro faced almost complete denial of the great promise of freedom brought by the
Civil War and Reconstruction, and seemed facing extermination.
What the Negro needed in the 1890's was time and weapons to combat the evil iaflucnce of his enemies and detractors. He needed reassurance of hie potentialities, opportunities and a program for realizing them.
Booker T. Washington supplied both. His diplomatic approach to race rekitions stayed
the hand of his enemies and revived the sympathy of his friends. It was time for compromise, rather than attack; time for reorganitation and preparation for coping with the
harsh per
period ahead.
There being no place for the Negro to go, Washington advised him to stay «h«r« he
s, to prepare nimself to deal with the
Tie prob
pro'>lems of his environment,. and to make a truce
with the surrounding white people. This meant discipline, education, sobriety, health,
industry and t h r i f t
The results of this campaign became universally evident, not only in the growth and
e pansion of the school which he founded but also in the organization of self-help efforts
which redounded to Negro's advantage and made him a more valuable citizen ia the
community.
It is therefore entirely fitting that in 1956, the centennial of the birth of Booker T.
Washington in a slave cabin in Franklin County, Virginia that all friends of the Negro
should extend themselves to publicize the philosophy and programs
of this inspired man who did so much to help resolve the racial
conflict in America.
Under the sponsorship of the Booker T. Washington Centennial
Commission of Booker Washington Birthplace, Va., beaded by tlie
redoubtable Sidney J. Phillips, 1956-1957 should bring to the attention of America as never before the contribution of uoe of its
greatest sons.

1:30 p. m. the deacons unanimously voted to reaffirm their
complete confidence in their support of their minister for the

vicious personal attacks on the

would maintain their own individual preference in the present
presidential election.

lime that he was supporting
President Eisenhower.
Abysinian Baptist Church is
the second oldest Baptist Church
in the United States and the
largest Protestant Church in
America, wih some 14,000 members.
The Reverend Powell succeeded his father who was minister
of the church for 29 years.

a grand day of good football
at Xavier University Stadium

Matthews will be out to avenge
a defeat received from the Gold

their last visit to New Orleans
in 1954.
This games will climax a gala
week of homecoming festivities
at Xavier University.
Graduates of various periods
in the past have indicated that
they will be present for what
promises to be one of the most
outstanding homecoming celebrations of the past decade.
Both teams will enter the
fray with only one SIAC defeat.
In each case this defeat was administered by the 1955 champion and currently undefeated
Florida A&M University.
Bethune-Cookman's record to
date includes victories over S.
Carolina. Florida Normal, .Morris Brown, and Benedict.

BATON ROUGE. La—Twenty-five thousand fans are expected to attend the homecoming
clash Saturday, Nov. 17. at Baton
Rouge, Memorial Stadium, when
Southern University meets Florida A. and M University in a
2 p.m. kick-off.
Many of the fans will be
coming to see the phenominal
growth of Southern over the
past three years.
Even though the team this
year is mainly a freshman combination, the game itself will
be looked upon as a bitter clash
between two rivals. One to protect his homecoming winning
streak and the other to mar it.

PONTIAC'S PEE-WEE
# FOOTBALL LEAGUE I M P S SEASON
By JOE SINGLETON
Las'. Sa'urday marked the end
(for this season) of Pontiac's
newest arrival in gridiron activity. I am speaking of the Pee
Wee Football League which is
co-sponsored by PTA groups and
local merchants.
The league, which is made
up of seven teams, representing six elementary schools, was
speai headed by F r a n k D.
Thompson, of 967 Berwick
Blvd.. during the early part of
the Summer.

Mr. Thompson felt that there
should be some kind of gridiron
activity for youngsters in the 9
to 12 age group. Therefore, he
took his idea to the Pontiac
Recreation Department, the elemenary schools in the city, and
the Pontiac merchants.
. As a result, Mr. Thompson received ti.e cooperation of these
groups for the Pee Wee program.
The boys, who range in ages
from 9 through 12, and weigh
from 55 to 110 pounds, range
in grades from 4th to 6th. Each
boy, if he can afford it, buys
himself a uniform and shoes.
Uniforms Donated
If he cannot afford this, he is
donated a uniform by a Pontiac
merchant or a PTA group.

ACTION IN BIG GAME:
Our cameraman caught two
teams of the Pee Wee League
during hot action in their big
game. Shown above are the
Emmanual Crusaders and the
Wilson Rams.

Ists. You will get rr.or® miles
per gallon of gasoline and
better engine performance.
Each team played a five-game
schedle during the regular season. The Pontiac Parks and Recreation Department facili'ies
were made available to the
league. Three games were scheduled each Saturday with each
game lasting one hour.
During the regular g a m e
periods, the teams played under
regular football conditions with
regular officials (who are experienced young men who donate their time).
Extreme care is taken to
make sure that each boy has
the benefit of every safety
measure.
If you did not watch at least
one of these games this season,
then you have missed the thrill
of your life. These youngsters
really take this program seriously. Already they are making
plans to make next year an even
better year in the league.
Seek Funds
I would like to state that this
year, Bagley School was short
in funds for the team entered
in the Pee Wee League because
of another very important program which the PTA is supplying funds for.

Therefore, I would like to appeal to any person or group who
have money to donate to a worth
while cause to contact Melvin
Taylor, of 521 Nevada, who is
the head coach of the team, or
contact the Pontiac Herald and
we in turn will get in touch
with the coaching staff.

Mr. Thompson is the assistant
foreman of the composing room
cf the Pontiac Press, and executive officer (Major) of the 703d
United States Army Reserve
Tank Battalion here in Pontiac.
Mr. Thompson spends much
time with youngsters and states
that he is interested in "civic
progress," and says that the only
way we will have it is to start
early to give our boys necessary
training to build strong bodies
and minds,
He states that this program
