1 1 PITTSBURGH COURIER March 15, 1950 Forrest White Woodard ashi INSIDE OUT By Alice A. Dunnigan EXCITING AND HISTORICAL lad would a police type whistle causing the car to stop, the driver Alice Dunnigan FOLKS down South are still excited over the three inches of show which fell there: a few weeks ago. One official on the campus of Florida A. and M. University described the fear which engulfed his household on Feb.

13. "Imagine how my wife and felt." tie said, "when we arose on that morning and found our children missing." Plans for an allout search were shattered as soon as they glanced at the lawn. All of their fears were arrested, because there they were. all three of them playing in the know in their night clothes. Another "Prof" talked about how difficult it was to get the students into tie classrooms on that snowy morning.

Why, those teen agers and early. twenties had a' ball th this, the first snow they had ever seen in their lifetime. They congregated into little groups and Chid behind the shubbery and tall hedges to await approaching automobiles. One blow thinking he was being halted by a policeman. The kids would thief pop up from 'no where' and bombard the occupants of the car with hurling snowballs.

'Gee! did they have "Bill" Thompson gave a vivid description of the scente view in hix column written for the the campus newspaper. He fold how surprised he was when he stepped out of the dormitogy door expecting to walk on the green lawn surrounding Gibbs 1 alt: "And there it WAIN snow all over the place, 20 feet thick." he said. "Now! Call me a liar, will ya? Well, it would have been 20 feet if we stood all of the little particles on top of each other." But even Bill agreed that "Frosty, the snowman, was a jolly COLUMNISTS ARE BUDDING FORTH IN FLORIDA Well, Frosty, the snowman. had gone, and Sol, the sunshine man, was smiling warmly over the college campus a few weeks later when this columnist visited there. The purpose of the visit was to serve as consultant to young Floridian columnists at a FAMU press workshop.

Some of your favorite newspapermen from across the country shared with me the pleasure of working with these young journalists from high schools throughout the state of Florida, -ind of enjoying the- hospitality which the college, offered. WE ARE ALL GRATEFUL to C. J. Smith 111, director of public relations. for making our visit possible and for providing 'old timers" with an opportunity of meeting a budding young Agoup of prospective journalists.

C. or "Chuck" as he is affectionately called; together with his pretty wife, Norma, and their darling baby girl, climaxed our stay with an informal get-together, the kind of affair which newspapermen enjoy 50 much and never forget. Thanks again to the Smiths and to the many other charming people who made our stay on the campus so pleasant. A PLUG IN THE WHIRL While this select group of journalists was working with young newspaper people in Florida, it was learned that a group of "big wheel" reporters was tossing a spinning plug in Washing. torr's social whirl by entertaining the Vice President of the United States, This type of entertaining has drawn out mixed opinions from the Capital's social and political "greats." Some thought it was most wonderful for the, Vice President to take time out to attend a party given in tHe home of a Negro reporter.

Others quipped that "there's such thing as 41:1 Individual going too far to get votes." MANY QUESTIONS were already being raised around WashIngton on whether the old. sacred rules of protocol were being violated lately by top ranking diplomatic and high standing elective officers by attending cocktail parties and the like, given in private homes. And about such dignitaries accepting Invitations to public dances, common banquets, and such, given by questionable groups. And by some diplomats, and even their wives, permitting the average rank and file persons to address them by their first names. Maybe this familiarity or social equality are Indications of a really, true demoeracy.

Well. you can't please everybody, you know. To some people you are either a snob or a commoner pick your choice. THE WOMEN WERE THERE. The National Council of Negro Women relaly "put on the dog" last.
