Dark Meril by Kathryne Favors Negro Chemist Discovers New Use for Famed Mineral Waters By Robert Crump Mount Clemens, Mich. (ANP)— Through the development of sev eral useful products by experi ments with the world famous Mount Clements mineral waters, it looks as though another great chemist has appeared on the hori zon. Henry Lightbourne, a middle aged Negro, after seven years of research and experiments, has come forth with a pile remedy and a soothing salve for use in the treatment of athlete’s foot and eczema. He has been able to ex tract the salts and some of the original chemicals and minerals from the water to be used for mineral bathing in the private home. He has removed the dark color and the odor, clarified and re fined the water into a concentrate for drinking which pharmaceuti cal research says might prove an effective relief from hyper-acidi ty and ulcerated stomach. For 80 years the Mount Clemens waters have been recognized throughout the world as being among the greatest mineral wa ters in the world for bathing pur poses for health. Thousands of people from all parts of the world gather here at this great spa an nually to find relief through bath ing for many ailments. But it remained for Henry Lightbourne, who owns h imsin eral well and bath house, to do what other chemists have failed to do with these famous waters over a period of 80 years. Lightbourne has formed and incorporated his own company, listed his products in “Drug Top ics Red Book” 1947-48 edition, had them registered with U. S. patent office and will soon have his products on the market. The mhn has several unsolicited testi monials from pile sufferers who have used the remedy and who claim to have found immediate relief. Lightbourne believes that this remedy will be a boon to mankind. Urban League Propose* Broader Field Program The National Urban League, during its four-day 37th annual conference last week, committed itself to a more functional pro gram and passed resolutions. One resolution denounced the Taft Hartley Act as “dangerous and harmful” and asked for its repeal | in 1948. Two hundred fifty of the Urban League personnel attended the meeting. Lester B. Granger, Executive secretary of the League, made the keynote speech and charged the League with the responsibility of recruiting and training more lead ership units in cities with swollen populations. The Urban League Fellows, a group within the League, set up a $1,000 fellowship to administer through the League. Expanding League Program The entire conference was de voted to the improvement of the Urban League program aimed at expanding i+s service in the field of vocational guidance, employ ment, housing, education and race relations, and increasing the Lea gue budget. The League decried the increas ing migration of Negroes from vlie South into other sections of the country and decided to conduct continuous surveys to forecast economic conditions in the South, and to institute a program “which may aid in the prevention as well as cure of community situations affected negatively by migration of rural peoples.” More Social Security Other resolutions urged a Con gressional amendment to the So cial Security program to increase benefit rates, include agricultural workers, domestic and personal services, employes of religious and charitable institutions and provide health insurance; Congressional action in providing a comprehen sive housing program fashioned along the lines of the Taft-Ellen der-Wagner Housing Bill, and a strengthening of race relations services. Action was also urged by the Secretary of Labor and other re sponsible public officials to rectify the inequitable participation of Negroes—veterans and civilians— inthe apprenticeship training pro gram, particularly as it affects private and public home con struction. WHAT'S IN A NAME? Pretoria. South Africa—(ANP) What shall it be. "Africans" or "Natives"? There is * dis cussion at presen' in this country as to how the Negro should !>• referred to. In official corres pondence the term applied has been "Native." but recently the prime minister has in public used the term "Africans." . The white persons in this locale, however, are mostly of Dutch origin and insist that they are "Afrikaners." -o Go North, East and West But Not South Washington— (ANP)— Over 3 million of the south’s dwindling population deserted the south during the migration era of 1940 46 to look for greener pastures. The census has made no study of racial migration but indications are tha tmany Negroes found their way to the west coast. Five congested Negro areas there hed showed an increase of 213 per cent. •: TRAFFIC SAFETY: Turns need signals The left is worst.
