JUVENILE AID BUREAUJudge Walter H. Beckham of the Juvenile Court has

asked the City Commissioners to establish a Juvenile AidBureau for Negroes in the Police Department.

In his letter to the Commissioners, Judge Beckhamsaid that the police protection of Negro children is notadequate, and the situation has resulted in complaints bycivic groups.

While white children have the protection of theJuvenile Aid Bureau under Capt. Louis A. Allen, and astaff of workers in the Juvenile Court, the court has onlyone 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 aresult of lack of service for Negro children.

Judge Beckham also stated that the Coconut GroveSlum Clearance Committee had recently called attentionto serious conditions of juvenile delinquency in the Negroareas and asked for community action.

There can be no good reason for the city commissionto turn down the request for this aid bureau, and we hopethe matter will be dealt with without delay.

Judge Backham has always shown keen interest notonly in his work as Juvenile Judge, but in our communityas a whole.

INDEPENDENCE DAYAnother 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 andother places for picnics, fishing, etc. It was good news tolearn that there were far less deaths over the holidaysthan in former years. It may be that people are learningto place more value on human lives.

“A RACE WITH THE WIND”

“A Race With The Wind,” asensational drama, in three actsby Miami’s own Earl Sawyer, isscheduled to be presented at theModern Theatre on Friday nightAugust 3. The play has been pre-sented in New York and was re-ceived with great ovation on thepart 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. Hehas been very active in the artsof the stage and* has made goodin the big city. Very desirious ofpresenting one of his own pro-ductions in his home town, hecame to Miami primarily for thispurpose. He selected A Race WithThe Wind for his initial presen-tation in Miami. The play is ofsuch a nature that only aduitswill be permitted to see it. Saw-yer says it is not a play for thechildren. Watch for further an-nouncements on this coming at-traction at the Modern theatre onFriday, August 3.

PEACE OR WAR

The world waits patiently onthe outcome of the proposed con-ference to be held Sunday, July8, between representatives of theUnited Nations and CommunistChina, which it is hoped will bethe first steps towards eventualpeace in Korea. General Ridg-way wanted the conference to oeheld earlier, in order to save morelives, but China said no—chiefly

as a face saving move. At any

rate the conference is scheduledto be held Sunday, at Kaesong,just a short distance from the38th parallel.

If pirns go as the United Na-tions’ forces desire, this confer-ence will set the time, place andgeneral highlights for the fullpeace conference to be held lat-er. Let us all hope that the con-ference serves its purpose, andthat real peace soon will be rea-lized. The war in Korea has nev-er had the complete endorsementof the people of the free world,and the loss of life and propertyhas been staggering to say theleast. The earlier peace is declar- jed, the better it will be for themen on the firing line both foe |and friend. No one wins in a warof any kind, and the Koreanconflict has been no exception.

The Moving FingerBV L. A. THOMPSON

Independence Day has beenand gone again. As usual,some folk were truly thankfuland shared some of the spirit ofthe founding Fathers. Others, notknowing how to enjoy their in-dependence got soaked in boozeand some of them swelled theholiday 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 ‘Howto spend a Holiday.” But youcan’t teach people what they don’twant to know, so . . . fun!

“There are not more than 500Negro men training for the Bap-tist ministry in the entire coun-try, and of these less than 260 arecollege graduates.” Thus spokeDr. Edward A. McDowell, jr. atthe Southern Baptist Nationalconvention which met at Friscorecently. The Southern Baptistsare doing something about it byopening the doors of their semin-aries to Negro students.

Hope that a large number ofthe brethren will take advantageof this opportunity. Colored Bap-tists in this country boast of amembership of more than 6,000,*-000. Certainly we need mentrained for the task, or that largenumber wouldn’t mean much!

Real Christianity has a roughroad to travel yet. While somemen are trying with all theirmight to practice the brother-hood of man, others are doingjust the opposite.

According to ANP releases, 65Baptist churches sponsored a re-vival at the Coliseum in LittleRock, Ark., recently. Joseph Har-ris, a colored brother went intothe meeting and took a seat onthe “wrong” side. The ushersasked Bro. Harris to move, buthe refused. “Several persons be-came angry and dragged himfrom his seat and through theexit. Two of the White ministersappealed to them to “be goodChristians.” One of them, Dr. M.R. McKay, said “We should allpray. For we are all a little smallfor what has happened.”

The atmosphere changed andthe large crowd began to sing

1 hymns “in the true revivalspirit.”

Perhaps Brother Harris’ pres-ence on the wrong side was agood test of what the revivalmight do in practical Christian-ity.

I URBAN LEAGUEPLACESENGINEER

Inter-agency cooperation andteam work between the UrbanLeague, Southern Field Divisionmade possible the placement ofMr. Edward B. Lamar in an en-gineering position with the Bon-nerville Power Administration.

George L. Edwards, assistantSouthern Field Director of theNational Urban League screenedLamar for his new engineeringassignment after learning fromthe Urban League of Portlandthe need for qualified persons atthe Bonnerville Power Adminis-tration.
