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.

off" a pedestrian on the regular
crosswalk.
