PETERSBURG TIMES, MONDAY, MAY 17, 1937 Six BECKHARD HITS NEGRO BATHING BEACH PROJECT Gulfport Councilman Criti-1 cizes Selection of Site in Lengthy Statement Efforts of the city of St. Petersburg to buy a tract of land near Gulfport as the site for A negro bathing beach, constitute a "betrayal of the town of Gulfport," according to Bruno Beckhard, town councilman there. In a statement yesterday, Beckhard criticized the choice of the site purely from a standpoint, and charged, that, in effect, five members the St. Petersburg council had told developers of nearby, exclusive residential areas "go to blazes." Beckhard declared the matter had been discussed in the council meeting in Gulfport several weeks ago, but that nothing had been done publicly in an effort to avert injecting the matter into the local political campaign.

"Dead as a Dodo Now" Text of Beckhard's statement follows: "The question of a negro playground at the approach to Corey causeway has come up at a time when apparently it can be considered by at least one St. Petersburg councilman 88 A political issue. It is only fair to Gulfport to point out that every effort was made to keep the issue separate from the St. Petersburg campaign. It is also in order to point out that A political issue must present two sides, This matter has no two sides and is therefore as dead dodo right now as a political issue.

Gulfport council, unlike that of St. Petersburg, was thorfamiliar the area in question and with the plans for sale as high-class development. action of our neighbors--following a direct attempt to buy Gulfport's claim. was before the members the council at a conference May 5, at which time the representalives of the press were asked not. to mention the matter because to do so would involve Gulfport in the St.

Petersburg political situation. Considerable was exerted on memof the council to enter a resolution of protest, but inane much the council WON suced that St. Petersburg would such action was Nicewise avoided go through with the sale, as being in the nature of politic cal interference, Wanted Definite Report "A few days ago, however, it became evident that the various promises to void the sale were not resulting in action and therefore, without reference to the election, but due solely to the fact that Gulfport has a council meeting on Tuesday next, we sisted that we must have a deftnite report by that time, Even after the papers were prepared for presentation to Judge Hobson on Saturday members of the St Petersburg council most Interested in the scheme were given an opportunity to reconsider the matter and apparently refused to do 50. press comments from Petersburg's city hall are amazing. One councilman who quite recently lived within two blocks of the city's southern boundary, and not so far from the site in question, is, quoted as saying he did not know the property was outside the city limits, Smith claims he eyed the site as a possible landing field for Clarence Chamberlin, which does not sound like Mayor Smith, but is in keeping with a rumored policy of discouraging tint industrial development There hardly a patch of Pinellas county less suited for use WIN landing field, as eVen the most careless survey would indicate.

Another happy thought was that the land could be purchased from it revolving fund set up for 111 entirely different purpose. The suggestion of common sense comes from Councilman Johnson who suggests that the site is im- practical. Playground Not Involved "The question of providing a playground for negroes not involved The question of the lation between St. Petersburg and its neighboring towns, the question of development of entire western section of St. Petersburg.

the question of making the gulf waterfront and the bay waterfront assets in the development of St. Petersburg, all these are vitally involved, Quite specifically, five members of the St. Petersburg council have told the owners of some of the city's finest homes, have told those who are trying to interest new capital in any local enterprise, have told those developers of nearby properties who have worked hardest to tie up their enterprises with the growth of St. Petersburg, to go to blazes. "That is, if you take the matter seriously.

But it is hard In to take the matter seriously, first, place Gulfport has never receded from position it took when most of the men were fishing and women and children were left alone, negroes would be allowed within the town limits after sundown. This is not a matter of statute, it is merely a condition that no St. Petersburg negro questions. "In the second place the site 16 some seven miles from the negro section of St. Petersburg and reached only by the Pass-8Grille bus line, although Mr.

Wever has been heard to suggest a special bus line, the third place, and no more ridiculous the rest, the beach of this proposed bathling beach is not included in the property the city bought. in Gulfport can not help feeling that St. Petersburg, AS the largest of the group of PL nellas communities, has betrayed or shown a willingness to betray the rest us. We in no way concerned with or Interested in the St. Petersburg election, but we can not escape the fact that in the next few weeks the communities facing Boca Ciega bay will have to decide whether to include St.

Petersburg in their plans, or whether with this warning they will feel that St. Petersburg is not a factor in the development of a future of which they feel assured."

J. Wallace Hamilton, pastor of the Pasadena Community church, in his sermon on "Unharnessed Emotions." He expressed the hope that the people would get together on some constructive program. He declared that "continual opposition to every proposition is getting wearisome." His remarks on this subject were made in connection with a tribute paid Miss Elise Friedgen, who recently donated an educational building to one of the colored churches of the city, "Harnessed emotion is the most powerful force for good in the world," he said. "All of our chartable institutions are the result of harnessed emotions." He said there are many emotions which do more harm than good. Some of these he referred to as sentimental sympathy, worry, regret and fear.

"Sympathy, when harnessed up, is one of the finest emotions we have," he said. "Sympathy has one function to perform; to lead us into deeds of service." If it never goes beyond the feeling, then this beautiful, fine emotion becomes of no use." He described worry as most expensive emotion," adding that it, too, has a function to perform but that it easy for concern to slip over worry. "To drag the future into today and worry about an unharnessed wasteful he said. unchristian, there because at the root of it is distrust in God." Continuing. he said in part: "Regret, like all other functions, has one important place in life.

Where restitution be made, it should be made. That's why God gave us this emotion. But, if you take a wrong turn In the road and it is too late to KO back and take it over, then forget it. Do not drag the past into the present to wear out the machinery of your mind and body, Fear has a function, too. is to set up process of protection.

It has its great value in protecting life. fear there would be no courage. As long as fear presses itself in caution and precaution then it Is fulfilling its normal God-given function. Fear deadens our sense, and paralyzes our souls, When a man learns to live God's wAy and not live by his fears, all of his fears vanish in thin air."
