Passing The Bar
For many years there has been much dis
cussion concerning the failure of Negro can
didates to pass the state bar examinations
in order to practice law in Arizona.
For many years only one man of the race ,
Atty. Hayzel B. Daniels has been admitted
to the bar. However , in the late thirties
another Negro passed but didn't remain in
the state.
Last Saturday as Mr. Karl N. Stewart was
sworn in as a member of the lawyers' pro
fession in the state , every person should
have given him a loud hand of applause. For
here is the younger generation showing what
can be done despite obstacles.
As this state continues to grow there will
be greater need for more Negro men and wo
men in various professions. Mr. Stewart
has once again proven that the opportunity
is here but the person must be qualified be
fore he can take advantage of the opportunity.
Let us wish this young barrister a great
measure of success as he prepares to open
his office. We welcome him and congratu
late him on passing the bar.
Foreign Aid Cut
Over a million dollars was trimmed from
the administration's foreign aid bill last
week. This was indeed a step in the right
direction. The United States can not contin
ue to shackle its citizens with the burden of
excessive foreign aid.
Many hundreds of dollars are thrown
away as if to the four winds when we give
financial aid to countries like Haiti , Yugo
slavia, India and Argentina.
Our taxpayers have not complained when
millions were spent on national defense
and other programs of national interest. The
taxpayers are weary now of shelling out
money to those quasi-pro-We stem friends
who always have a hand out. These countries
and their officials welcome our dollars but
not our friendship. They use some kind of
hocus-pocus on our state department and
foreign aid committees to gain millions of
dollars in aid. Then they woo the Soviets at
the same time.
Americans should realize that there can
never be any tax cuts until we cut foreign
aid. — ==== ==============^

A LOOK
IN THE MIRROR
Last Friday I picked up one of
the many photograph albums
which we have. For several
years I have kept photographs
from my early childhood, many
have been pasted down but they
are stuck in random fashion.
For years I owned a small Ko
dak or Brownie camera and my
family was always willing to pose
for me. Often I was the subject
and we must have taken hundreds
of group shots before 1 moved to
Phoenix. Since 1 have been away
my Mother still sends me pic
tures of the family taken usually
at parties or clan outings.
A photograph album Is the best
place to reminisce whether it's
old friends or your youth that
one wishes to recall. A book of
pictures hold tight to gatherings,
relations, events or something
not so important which once was
very meaningful.
Looking at one’s own photo
graph is like looking into a
mirror. The mirror reflects our
countenance but few of us real
ize the changes which occur from
day to day or from year to year.
Robert Burns, the Scottish poet
said in a verse that we should be
able to see ourselves as others
see us. It would be more appro
priate to state, "If we could see
ourselves as the cameras do.”
Being married to a photo
grapher par excellence has its
merits and demerits. Some
times I feel in the mood for a
picture. Other times I don't.
Often I pose just to use up some
film (these are always homey
scenes).
I studied my photographs.
Though my face seemed differ
ent through the years, the posi
tion of my eyes remained the
same. In my picture at the age
of five months old, I had the same
stare and my chin was thrust
forward as if 1 expected to tell
the photographer where to stand.
My family calls the stare my
"Old Meanie" look.
At times my face has an
almost cherubic gaze. My Moth
er and late Grandfather would
say that was the devil hiding un
der an angel smile.
No picture ever reveals as
much as one taken with the sub
ject being unaware. Here the
person is relaxed and off guard.
Often the mood is solemn--
usually if the person is not in
a crowd. I have had several of
this kind made--and I would be
telling a joke or making a funny
face.
My ribs nearly cracked from
laughing when I looked at some
of my youthful poses. In trees
making like Tarzan's Jane,hold
ing a gun trying to imitate Cal
amity Jane, in a bathing suit not
resembling Brigitte Bardot or
dressed in lace, my pictures
showed me the real me.
A different hair style, a dif
ferent patterned outfit, a differ
ent kind of lighting--all make you
a person of thousand faces when
the eyes of the camera focus on
you.
If you have forgotten how you
look--don't look in the mirror
on the wall--open your photo
graph album--but be prepared
for some smiles and some tears.

NEW MINORITY GROUP CONSULTANT
FACES GREAT CHALLENGE IN JOB
Mr. Carl Craig, the newly appointed minority group consultant
for the state, has a wide vista of challenges before him.
His task is not as simple as one would assume. He will have to
pioneer in the job until he can discover some effective methods
of providing the type of program desired.
There are many Negroes in the state who maybe qualified for
higher kinds of employment at the state level and Mr. Craig must
seek them out and Inform them of these opportunities. However,
he will also have to Inform others to return to school and become
qualified.
As he goes over the state, he will be able to present firsthand
the employment problems facing not only the Negroes, but the
Mexican-American and the Indians. He will have the greatest
challenge of any person hired by the state in many years.
PRINCE HALL ESTABLISHES
NEGRO MASONRY IN THE UNITED STATE?
Prince Hall, founder of Masonry in America, was born at Bridge
town, Barbados, British West Indies, about September 12, 1748, His
father was Thomas Prince Hall, an Englishman, and his mother, a
free Negro of French extraction.
In 1765, at the age of 17,he worked his passage 0 n a ship to Boston,
where he was employed as a leather worker, the trade learned from
his father. Eight years later he had acquired real estate and was
qualified to vote. He was religiously inclined and later became a
preacher in the Methodist Church assigned at Cambridge.
In March 1775, Prince Hall and fourteen other free Negroes of
Boston were made Master Masons in an Army Lodge attached to one
of General Gage’s regiments, then stationed near Boston. The same
Lodge granted these Negroes authority to meet as a Lodge, to go in
processions on St. John’s Day, and as a Lodge to bury their .dead,
but they could not confer degrees or perform any other Masonic
work.
For nine years these men, together with others who had received
their degrees elsewhere, assembled and enjoyed their limited priv
ileges as Masons.
Finally in March 1784, Prince Hall petitioned the Grand Lodge of
England, through a worshipful master of a subordinate lodge in London
for a warrant, which was Issued. It was not delivered however until
the 29th day of April 1787 by Capt. James Scott, a seafaring man and
incidentally, a brother-in-law to John Hancock, one of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence.
On May 6, 1787, by virtue of the authority of this charter, African
Lodge No. 459 was established and began work as a regular Masonic
body. In accordance with Masonic usage of that time, a general
assembly of Masons met in Master’s Hall, Walter Street, Boston,
Massachusetts (white).
Prince Hall died in December, 1807. Six months after his death
a delegate convention of Negro Masons with representatives from
the Lodges in Boston, Philadelphia and Providence was held in Boston
and the name of their Grand Lodge was changed from African Grand
Lodge to Prince Hall Grand Lodge in honor of their founder and for
mer Grand Master.
This Grand Lodge and its successors have created all legitimate
Freemasonry among Negroes which exist in America at the present
time.

DISCUSSING ARIZONA LAW
EFFECT OF A JUDGMENT
A great many of us do not know the effect of a court judgment
against us. Consider an example.
A store sold John Doe, a bachelor, a television set for S3OO. Doe
took delivery but failed to pay. The store sued for S3OO. Since Doe
failed to appear and defend the action, a judgment was entered of
S3OO plus the court costs.
Entering of the judgment by the court did not mean the store auto
matically found its debt paid. The debt still remained unpaid, but
the store had several rights which it didn’t have prior to the lawsuit.
One of the rights which could immediately be felt by Doe would be
the placing of a lien on his real property, that is, his house. Once
the judgment is entered by the court and an abstract of the judgment
of the court certified by the clerk, signed and recorded in the office
of the County Recorder in the county where Doe’s house is located,
his real property immediately would be encumbered by a lien, in
effect the same as a mortgage.
Another right the store would have would be to seize personal
property—movable property as distinguished from real property—
under a writ of execution levied by the sheriff. The property could
be sold to satisfy the debt.
The store could also have the court issue a writ of garnishment
against Doe’s employer. The employer would be required to pay
part of Doe’s wages, then owing, into court where they would be
used to satisfy the debt.
If the store couldn’t find any property of Doe, yet believed he had
some which he was concealing, it could require Doe to be brought
into court where he would be questioned under oath regarding all
his financial affairs, past and present, which might reveal what
property he owned.
