Up And Down Farish Street
By PERCY GREENE
FARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Those old husbands that
for the last few months in some
cases years, that have been class
ed by their r,better halves” as being
generally “out and down and good
for nothing,” are taking on a new
importance now that there’s a lot of
good paying jobs opening up— and
some of those wives are again be
ginning to look for their “no-ac
count husbands’’ on Saturday night.
I know because one wife looking
for her’s ran up on him with anoth
er woman down in front of the
City Barber Shop Saturday night,
and such another cussing and
threatening you never heard, in
fact in all my experience with sol
diers and others, I’ve never heard
a more classic rendition of cussing
and down right vulgarity. One of
them guilty or not guiity, didn’t
say much, but I’ll never forget the
other one—just so I would be
tempted to tell you, I wouldn’t even
ask their names, —but everybody
on that part of Farish Street saw
and heard— It was a down right
right shame and disgrace. And then
there was that fellow in the Black
stone Cafe, proving the truth of the
old adage that a fool and his money
soon part. The Juke Box in the
Blackstone has 24 keys. The brother
just walked up, pressed down all
keys and put in 24 nickels, then
when an amazed lady onlooker ask
ed, “Who in the world is that?”
He pushed them all up, pushed
them down again and put in 24
more nickels—If you don’t believe
it ask Mr. Summers.

Jefferson County [Alabama]
Teachers Get Pay Raises
By EMORY O. JACKSON
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—(SNS) —
Salary raises, increments, and
revision of the salary schedules
have combined to give Negrc
teachers in Jefferson Count j
School System $26,000 mere this
year than they received last year
Dr. j. E. Bryan revealed to the
WORLD in an exclusive interview
Tuesday.
Payroll of the 327 Negro county
teachers last year amounted to
$232,609 and this year it comes to
$258,609.
Dr Bryan said differentials in
the salary schedules for master’s
degree and principals’ Increment
had been abolished. However, the
basic salaries still show racial dis
crimination .
Explaining his actions. Dr.
Bryan said that upon his recom
mendation the Board had abolish
ed the old salary schedule and had
constructed a new one with the
aim to pay all teachers according
fo training and professional stand
ards. Elaborating further, lie said
he had made a study of the "Vir
ginia plan'’ of solving the salary
equalization problem and was
modeling the salary system in Jef
ferson cov.ntv upon it.
According to calculations, the
county put close to eight percent
of the ten percent additional reve
nue provided by the State to as
sist with improving salaries of Ne
gro teachers into that purpose.

Here’s hoping that the Ole Bird’s
Journey will continue peaceful and
sure, because I can already sense
a great pride in the grandfather

SHE SINGS
(Dedicated to Marian Anderson.)
By RUTH ROSEMAN DEASE
She opens her mouth—
Sweet music flows,
She pleasantly smiles
Her eyelids close
She sings.
She is a Negro
Lifting her race,
With her achievements,
To a higher place,
She sings.
Born with a talent
More rare than gold,
She touches the heart
And lifts the soul.
She sings.

News From
Utica, Miss.
THE BEGINNING of the
METHODIST CHURCH AT UTICA
INSTITUTE, MISSISSIPPI
UTICA, Miss., —it was in the
year 1924 when our first pastor,
Rev- J w. Washington was sent
to us, and in those days we had
then some of the same kind of
people we have with us now. One
of whom was Mr. Pleas McCadney,
who saw we had no place to have
our service, that he very Kindly
•gave us an old open house to hold
our first services. Our Membership
was very small but by the help of
Lord we kept moving along through
the years. Ana during those years
we have had the following pastors:
Rev. C. Thomas, Rev. Chatman,
Rev. John Goods, Rev. Westbrooks
Rev. Avery, Rev. L. C. Hill, and
last but not least, our dear Rev.
M. B. Brown _
Until Rev. Brown came along
our good friends, the Baptist peo
ple, let us use their church. As the
pastors came they all tried to
build a church, but somehow
• they always failed and left the job
for someone else to finish, saying
‘•it couldn’t be done, until at last
came Rev. M. B. Brown, and he
seemed to possess the stamina to
move ahead, with the motto: “Keep
trying.”
Rev. Brown was always optimis
tic about building a church, and
went about seeing what could be
done. With the help of our good
friend, Prof. W. M. Holtzclaw,
who donated the ground to build,
Mr. Pleas McCadney, and many
white and colored friends, we have
now reached the goal for which we
have so long struggled, we have
Brown’s Chapel, and plans are now
underway for our First Anniver
sary. To Rev. Brown, Prof. Holtz
claw, Mr _ McCadney and all of
our friends' both white and black
we are indeed grateful.

Increases To
Total $26,000
For Professionals
According to estimate figures by
Dr. Bryan, 70 or more teachers
who had been in the system nine
or more years received $5 raises,
122 an increase of <52.50 and from
30 to 40 hikes ranging from $7 50
to $15 to $20. All the teachers, he
explained, received increases, but
some more than others.
An analysis of the raises will
show that some came by way of
the revised salary schedule, and a
few outright.
Teachers from A-rated colleges
received the largest raises
Dr. Bryan explained this bv
sa\ing that he wa.s going by power
granted him tn pay teacher? more
money who showed better training
ano higher professional standard's
Majority of the Negro teachers
come from colleges which were
net A-rated at the time they grad
uated, and therefore do not get
the tempting higher raises.
Dr. Bryan said that Mr. H
^ouncil! Trenholm, president o:
the State Teachers College ai
Montgomery had already writtei
him with regards to the large)
raises which did not recognize
state-trained students who hole
the same class teacher’s certificate
as those of A-grade college teach]
ers, but that Dr. Trenholm ‘‘miss
ed a little point.” That was tha^
the County pays on the basis of.
degrees and not upon the basis* oil
certification. He said that he had
not answered Mr. Trenholm’s let
ter.
Dr. Bryan said that he had talk
ed with John Smith, president oi
the Jefferson County Teachers As
sociation about the new schedule.
When interviewed Mr. Smith cor
roborated the notes of this writer
and clarified points on the new sal
ary schedule, which Mr. Smith had
a copy for further studying at the
time.
