Fun wie Music

SSO RS

~Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way~... tiny though she
1s, this future Miss America already shows she knows there~s no music
without fun, no fun without music.

-- The world of music is a fascinating one to a child, and everi the
very young soon have a natural interest in rhythm "and harrfony. -
At such a. time parents often have the opportunity to help develop the
a $s musical abilities by introducing him at an early age to musical

"Becaude children learn by doing, one of the most important considerations in selecting a musical toy is that it be an ~action~ toy.
That is, it should be one that the child~can actually play -rather
than one to which the child only listens. |

One of the best of this. group are these eight electronically tuned
Swiss-type bells made of the finest bell) metal and tuned to the conventional musical scale. Each bell is encased in lustrous. high-impact
polystyrene plastic which gives a resonant tone, quality and adds
beauty through its brilliant colors.

The set is designed to help children actually than to read music
through separate colors, letters and numbers for each bell. These
are keyed to corresponding colors, letters, and~ numbers in the
accompanying song book. Each bell then is simply rung in sequence
to play a tune.

The child need not be old enough to read~notes to have fun ~with
these brightly colored bells, and even the mother who has had fio
musical training herself can help her child Jearn to enjoy~ music,
by this simple method.

Congregational Unitarian Minister Urges Federal Action to protect Southern Negro. L

Sunday, October 9, 1955, at the
Congregation Unitarian Church
located at 803 Clifford Street,
Flint,~ Michigan,.Rd@v. John H.

Morgan chose as the subject of his

sermon, ~Why Did Emmett Die?~.
Minister~s sermon was thought to
be so.thought-provoking, striking
timely, and bold that.a Bronze reporter reader suggested that the

sermon be presented to- our
readers. 1 |;
Regards South as Land of
Contracts.

Rev. Morgan, with reference to
the southern part of the U.S. said,
~It is a land of incredible contracts; it is a land where there is
genial laughter, and kind smiles,
and an appreciation of the simple
earthy joys of life. It is also a
land of incredible hatred, of
bestiality, of force and violence.~
He went on-to say ~~one hundred
years ago we began the job of
freeing for participation in-demoeratic. processes. the: ae aan
an
women of African decent. It is obvious from the news and the press
these past weeks. and months that
the job is far from done.~

He revealed the several killings

the Till - murder,
oa have occured in the soufhand.

NAACP Must Have Plotted

This Whole Thing

~Reflecting the attitude of the
puzzled southern white folks, Rev.
Morgan stated that they were
astaunded that the people would
get'so disturbed about this, that
~it| would appear in ~newspapers,
not only in our own country, but
all around the world. Continuing
Rev. Morgan. said,

the whole thing must have been
a plot. That the NAACP must;|have plotted this whole thing and

gotten themselves a body and
planted it in the river and then
sent all these stories out to the
newspapers, and were just down
there trying to agitate and _ destroy ~all that the South hold near
and dear.~ ~

ite. the unspeakable violence.
of which this lad was the victim
indicates an incredible sickness
on the part of the perpetrators.
The law was mutilated, as if the
men who killed him flew at him
in a fury, a frustration, in des--
perate anger,~ Rev. Morgan ob
3 served.

He posed the question, why did

Be | they kill a fourteen year old boy.

_ Before attempting to | answer
his own question, Rev. Morgan
made reference to the outstanding book by W. J. Cash, now deceased. The book is entitled, ~The
Mind of the South.~ The book
tells the- nature of southern culture, itS history,- economics, its
politics and-social customs. as
seen by the very brilliant southern liberal..
Southern Whites Fear Blending
Of Racial Strains

In interpreting the book, Rev.

Morgan concluded: ~He (Cash) is

the. Negro has tried to make in
the South has had to deal with the
fear of the white that as the
Negro rises on the economic level,

'|~Such, according to Cash,

and beating including a detailed~
||account of

~They talked].
this over and they decided that]

saying here that any advance that |

id Emmett Till Die?

he also rises on the social level
and if he rises high enough, he
will utimately achieve the level

> lof social equality, this inevitably
_. | leading to a blending of these two

racial strains. So that in the South
when people speak of any mem

_|ber of the Negro community be
ing ~uppity~ it means that this is
a person striving to approaeh
life with the same sence of integrity and worthwhileness that is
presumably characteristic of the
southern white.~

Proceeding Rev. Morgan. said,
is ~at
least a partial explanation of the
southerners complex in this area.

~ So that with Emmett Till, if he
did, whistled at a southern white
woman, he was stepping into an
area which the southern white
turns from being a slow-moving,
slow-talking cordial, hospitable;
generous man -. Emmett was ens -
tering a world in which this manabruptly turns and becomes a
monster of moral perversion, of
sadism, of incredible cruelty, becomes in short, everything that we
watched with horror happen in
Germany with regard to the mul+
tilation there of the Jew. Here in
our own country, we have po+:tentially a blood-bath, a bloodbath. which would make the
slaughter of German Jewery, appear by comparison, a mild exer
~cise on a Summer day.

Sees Negro Playing

Dynamic Role

Now the southern Negro
is a! ee of a massive majority
world group, such as such: his: significance politically to the future
of the world and to the future of
our country~s relationship to fie
world is tremendously significant.

~He has in the next hundred years

a dynamic role to play in world
culture... ~ the speaker observed.

To paraphrase the conclusion,
Rev. Morgan admitted that, the
southern. white was guiltY rebuking logic and reason, thatche -
was bent on maintaining the socalled white supremacy at ahy
cost, and further that the federal
government should take action to
protect freedom in our own. ~cothfor the protection of its ~itizens
who are mistreated and mishand~
led.

~They are not. responsible in
this area; they cannot be left to
their own devices for those devices will become more and more
brutal.~| Rev. John H. Horgan.
