L3 LETTERS To Editor .t NUMMICII IN MIN,~,I,";SlPIq Shelton-Mason Cmmty ,Journal To The Edit,w: The following letter is directed to all who may bc interested in fu]'ther informai.ion concerninl~ the Mississippi Smnmer Project nnd 1.o Mr. lbenny Hinton who recently wrole in the .hmrnal of his "Im- pressions on Visit, to South . . . " My e:q)erienee is limited as was Mr.'Hinlon's, in that I spent a month this summer in Holly Springs, Miss. During this month, however, I took part in Civil Rights work which included voter reg'istration, freedom school teach- inK, and cmnmunity center activi- ties. The total prog'ram was coot'- dina.ted under the auspices of sev- eral Civil Rights groups, and none of the participants were vacation- inK. My first point of concern, in regard to Mr. Hinton's article, is his quote from a white citizen of Hattiesburg, Miss. that labels all of us wht) were volunteers this summer as "hoodlums" or "free- dora demonstrators"! Of ti~e 37 vohmteers working on the pro- ject in Holly Springs, all had had some college education, seven of ns are professional teachers, one is a minister, and we were reg- ularly ~isited by lawyers who ad- vised u~ in legal matters. Other treas and professions represented included sociology majors, a reg- [stored nnrse, art students, and others. It seems odd to conclude that such people as lawyers, nur- ses, teachers and ministers, such as are usually considered servants of the general public,, are "hood- lums". Further in the article I4atties- burg, Miss is again mentioned: "In Hattiesburg, where there has been little racial strife, we don t pay much attention to the civil rights workers". ' Interestingly, it was in Hatties- burg that a maximum of 100 were expected to attend the freedom school and over 500 people came to register for the classes. Some people, obviously, paid attention to the worlc of Civil Rights vol- unteers. Racial strife ? In the same Hattiesburg on July 20th a white volunteer, Peter Werner, with whom I had attended an orienta- tion session, was beaten by three white youths. It is also stated that in ~,reas where colored people predomin- ate 'There were some "shacks" • . but most were uninhabited! Contrarily, I witnessed a goodly number of shacks and remember the great many that were inhab- ited. Some Negroes live in lovely homes, to be sure, but thin was by no mdans a majority. "The question is also raised as to the reason or "purpose" of vol- unteers going to Mississippi this summer. For me, as for other vol- unteers, it seemed as though an injustice existed in our country, one which was very basic. How can ours be called a free country wheu men are intimidated and kept from such basic things as equal opportnnity for education and the right to vote? I didn:t know the exact situation to be found, but felt that if my part in righting this wrong was even minute, I would have done the least possible in upholding my convictions. And looking as the results of the Mississippi Summer Project, results wbich surpassed anything I had envisioned, it would seem that a rather clear and worthy pro.pose had been served. Prior to this summer there had been no political organization in which Ne- groes could take part. We have left behind an orgauization led by local people and including lo- cal, as well as state, representa- tion. We have given educational opportunities never before avail- able in Mississippi, and in some is it necessary to send out-of-town for this printing service, as it was for a time after the ded their new mechanized check, clearing Journal now has new magnetic ink printing t meeting quality standards approved by the National Bank, and to Keep up with The Modern Business World cases given the only edncation peo- ple have ever had. Education is ('()illt)lllS()l'y for the white po])ula- lion of Miss.. bill not for tile col- ored. One lO-ye:u'-old Negro boy who attended t)l~l classcs ha(l nev- er been to sl:hool before. AI~(I eonllnilniiy ceniers to be directe'l by h)cal l~cot)le have been estab- lished where educational and rec- reational interests will be furth- ered. The price paid for carrying out convictions has been great. In McComb, Miss., 13 Negro churches had been burned in a period of six weeks this summer. Most of these churciu)s had sanctioned Ci- vil Rigifls work or had direct con- fact with it (such as those where- in freedom school classes were held). And three young men, Mic- key Schwerner, James Chancy, and Andy Goodman, lost their' lives in serving the work of their con- victions. I would like to think that something was accomplished and that tlleir deaths were not without profound meaning and intplication. Ruth Koenig (Editor's note: In the next few weeks Miss Koenig will write a ~ries of articles on her exper- iences this past summer). TIIE PRIVILEGE OF PRAYEl~ One morning I was singing "SweeL Hour of Prayer", and the thought came to me, prayer is such a wondetfful privilege, so wonde~$ul to have God to lean upon, to bring all our troubles to, and to feel his comforting hand and to read his precious word at all times, especially when we have trials and tribulations. The world is dark and misera- ble without the hope of eternal life, and if we had no one but people to give us comfort, it would be appalling as they have the same kind of trials the world over that we have. Matthew 11-28 Christ said: "come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I ,~ill give you rest." How all need that rest. How the whole world needs to see the light shining in darkness. That light is Christ Jesus. He is there all the time, ready and wait- ing for all to come to him. Dear i ones do not put it off any longer. There is no future in the worldly life. It is empty and void without the saving knowledge of Christ and His wonderful promise. Evelene Farrell \ \ \ SHELTONIAN HONORED~-SP6 George E. McCoy, son of Mr. and Mrs. William A.

The Shelton team will enter the "Tim- ber League" which, at the pres- ent, consists of six teams. With tim Shelton and Aberdeen teams also joining this next summer, there would be a total of eight teams in the league. We hope to get donations from our Shelton merchants and any other organization wishing to help sponsor Shclton's town team. It has been a number of years since Shelton has had a town team, ~,nd with Shelton g~;owing as it is, I am sure the people of Shblton would like an opportnnity to see some good baseball games.

Ti~e action came after the com- mission was informed by Byrne that the owner of the dog had in- surance and that iL would pay about $250 damage. The new transit will cost be- tween $560 and $650, Byrne said. The commission voted to add li- ability insurance for its employees to the city insurance coverage. The policy will cover everything except false arrest insurance for Police Officer~, which will be pur- chased Under a separate policy. A revised request on the vaca- tion of Eleventh Street between Birch and Laurel Streets from Mrs. Lenore Callanan was received. The revised request asks for vacation of all of the street except the al- ley. 19th & Pac. Ave. - Tacoma GOODYEAR DISTRIBUTORS FOR OVER 40 YEARS I I I
