Cut Those Weeds
Mayor Sam Mardian and members of the
council announced that property owners are
responsible for cleaning their vacant lots.
At this time of the year, the pollen count
is very high. Thousands of persons are
suffering from that bothersome ailment,
hay fever.
Weeds cause ugliness and human suffer
ing. All property owners should heed this
warning and take sickle in hand arid cut
down the weeds.
Tragedy At The UN
The death of Dag Hammarskjold, United
Nations Secretary-General, was a blow to
the entire organization and the world. Al
though the UN was always under heavy
criticism from Americans, it was the one
place where mediation was king. Through
- the efforts of Mr. Hammarskjold, the UN
had gained stature and power during his
term in office.
He alone withstood the shouts and jeers
of Mr. Khrushchev. The Communists re
fused to acknowledge his office and Nikita
howled against the man from Sweden. As
the UN Secretary-General, Mr. Hammar
skjold used his great personal attributes
to try to win peace.
His untimely death comes at a crucial
period in the UN and the world. Berlin
is divided now by a great wall. Castro
is massing a huge airforce. Laos, Al
geria, bistanbul are becoming hot spots.
There will be a struggle to replace
him or even discontinue his office. Let’s
hope that this won’t cause the UN to
terminate in a similar manner as the
League of Nations.
Those critics who are against the UN
should stop and ask some of the men who
fought in World War I, 11, or the Korean
War. We can afford a lot more talk, rather
than men. Words are expendable.but lives
aren’t.

Wier Cook Airport loomed
nearer as the plane lost alti
tude. Within a few minutes we
were coming down the ramp rac
ing toward my Mother and Uncle
Felix, Ed was grinning and I
was his toothy counterpart as we
embraced them.
The night was cold and bleak.
There is no place like Indian
apolis in the entire world. It
looked dirty and drab in the
lights while we drove from the
municipal airport. Many famil
iar places came into view but
some changes had occurred. My
Uncle stopped at a drug store
and bought Ed some concoction
for his ailing abdomen.
We arrived home and received
a second homecoming welcome
of the year—or the past and the
new year. My family outnum
bers Ed's family in England near
ly three to one. Although I am
the only child, I have numerous
uncles, aunts and cousins. My
only grandparent, Grandma Min
nie is the matriarch of the Yate
man Clan, Incorporated. She was
waiting in her favorite chair in
front room surrounded by the
others.
The house was new to me be
cause they had moved since I
had been home last in 1957.
Everything was bright and fes
tive. When I had called my Moth
er Hattie from Madrid, Spain,
she'd told me that they would
have our holiday dinner waiting
for us. She was not kidding. When
we were released from die hugs
kisses and handshakes of a dozen
relatives, I spied the massive
oak dining room table. It was
heavy with roast turkey, glazed
Virginia baked ham, hot rolls,
various vegetables, cakes, pies,
dressings, salads, and other del
icacies. Poor Ed groaned when he
looked at it.
All of die way across the At
lantic on our return trip, he had
kept whetting his appetite discus
sing my Mother's holiday feast.
We had compared notes on what
we would have to eat our first
night home. Now, he was unable
to even bear the sight of the
table. He took a dose of med
icine and had a drink with the
family who toasted our safe trip.
Before long, he had excused him
self and gone upstairs to bed.
I stayed downstairs and ate
and talked until the wee hours.
My beloved Grandma Minnie was
looking chipper She had us roll
ing when she said that die fam
ily was worried that she might
die Christmas—she winked her
eye and said that she knew she'd
be there to greet me and my
husband after our European jaunt.
Mom added, "I prayed and re
minded the Lord that I didn't
want to be buried in the cold
snow."
The house was full of Yate
mans, including my Aunts Lil
lian, Lola, Dora and Iris; my
Uncles George, Felix, Bob, and
Carl; my cousins, Carl, Jr.,
and George, Jr, I tried to tell
them about the entire trip in
one breath. We chattered for
hours before sleep stole in. When
I entered my bedroom, there were
two gaily wrapped gifts on the
bureau. Santa Claus had not for
gotten me after all. '
The next five days, Ed and I
received the red carpet treat
ment from my family. My Mother
prepared the most delicious
meals. 1 told her she was mak
ing it hard on my culinary skills
—she made pumpkin pies, coffee
cakes, butter cakes and all of
our favorite dishes. Ed's stom
ach ailment was easing and he
began to makeup for some of the
meals he had missed.
We saw many old friends and
tried to visit all of my rela-

THE NEGRO AND THE CIVIL WAR
RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD
Contrary to many popular accounts, the Negro men who served
in the state and federal legislative houses during the Reconstruc
tion Period, were not a bunch of illiterates. They included men
who were well educated and often well travelled. One of the Negro
Senators, Blanche Bruce, from Mississippi was a former slave
who had studied at Oberlin College, in Ohio. He served for six years
in Washington, and once his name was recommended for a cabinet
post.
From 1870-1901, the House of Representatives included twenty
Negroes. One outstanding solon was John R, Lynch, of Mississippi,
who was a lawyer. Three times he was elected to the office. At
one time he was the youngest member of the house.
John M, Langston from Virginia also served in the House of
Representatives. Like die others, he was the son of a slaveholder
and a slave mother. His father had provided his funds in a will
for him to study at Oberlin, too. He served in the Union Army and
was one of the first men hired at the Freedom's Bureau* Langston
became a professor at Howard University and he was the counsul
at Haiti.
By far, the most brilliant Negro member of Congress was
Robert Brown Elliott. Born in Boston and educated at Eton in Eng
land, he had become one of die leading lawyers in South Carolina.
Known as a man of impeccable taste, he dressed in the latest and
most expensive clothes. He spoke French, German, Spanish and
Latin. His speech in the house in 1874 in support of the Civil Rights
Bill is an outstanding example of logic and correct English. He
first voiced the defense for Negroes to be called Americans.
tives. But I had to throw in the
towel —there just isn't enough
time to see all of die clan un
less one has a month or two.
This part of our trip was die
worst weatherwise. It was much
colder than Europe had been
and my Mother laughed when I
complained about the snow. She
reminded me of how much I had
loved to play in it when I was
young.
We spent much of our time in
Indianapolis just resting. Both of
us were fighting off fatigue. We
made reservations for a night
flight to Chicago. While the clerk
was checking our tickets, she
noticed a discrepancy. We had
been overcharged. We smiled as
she told us we would receive A
refund of $5.32.
Everyone came by the house
to bid us goodby on our last
night in IndianApolis. We were
rushing out as usual, to catch
another plane. As we headed to
ward the airport, 1 told my hus
band to stop and count the dif
ferent kinds of planes we had
been aboard since leaving FYioe
nix on December 21. Ed laughed
and said he had counted five types
from Boeing 707 superjets to
Electras.
As the plane take
off, I thought of how wonderful
it had been to be home again.
No matter how distant your trav
els are--there is no sight as
grand as your own Mother and
everloving kinfolk. We waved to
them and blew a few kisses as die
plane headed toward Chicago.

STREPTOCOCCUS
Streptococcus is a germ that
is the cause of many infections.
It is often the cause of sore
throats although other germs and
viruses also cause this condition.
One member of the strep fam
ily is very much to be feared
because it is involved in caus
ing rheumatic fever and nephri
tis. Rheumatic fever can cause
permanent damage to the heart
and nephritis can likewise result
in long-lasting kidney injury.
Fortunately, the strep is one
germ that penicillin will always
kill if given in the proper [
amounts. Therefore, the treat
ment of a strep tonsillitis is
not difficult or very expensive
unless die patient is allergic to
penicillin.
There is one very important
point to remember. The germ
should be bombarded with pen
icillin in sufficiently high con
centration for ten days in order
to assure eradication from die
throat. This ten-day treatment
can be done in more than one
way as warranted by die par
ticular situation.
