Rev. F. B. Banks, Pastor Mrs Stromile, Reporter Revised Silver Polio’ Needed In a recent article, the Index Bays that the first year’s experi ence with the silver purchase program is that, in forcing up silver quotations, an artificial price structure has been created which ma ycollapse of its own weight once the United States ceases to buy. If that is true, it does not mean that a program to rehabilitate and stabilize silver is unnecessary and undesirable—it simply means that the govrament, in its zeal to solve a pressing economic prob lem, has gone too far. The wav out is through reconsideration and revision of our silver policy, in the light of experience, so that a permanently workable policy may be developed. The nation does not want to permit silver prices to again sink to rock button ,anv more than it wants them pushed sky high Irk some and difficult as the question is. it is not insoluble—and on its solution depends the welfare of a number of states, of a great in dustry, and of thousands of work ers. The Clean-Up Fund “There is an answer to the problem the average man faces in the necessity of paving his way out of life,” says the Insur ance Field “It is the clean-up fund. Failure to provide that fund through life insurance has caused many estates to shrink heavily because of the forced sale of property or securities to pro vide the ready cash neeessary to pay the cost of the last act.” The statistics back up the In surance Field’s statement. The average shrinkage in administra tion .according to a survey made of 7,000 estates ranging in size from $2,000 t o $10,000, 000. is 20 per cent. In other words, if a man leaves $20,000, his heirs will receive but $16, 000 — unless he has a clean-up fund of sufficient size to meet the unavoidable expenses. I npleasant as it is to speak of death, it is an eventuality every one faces—and inadequated pro tection of one’s estate amounts to gross carelessness. Creation of a clean-up fund is simply one more of the many essential services that life insurance offer. * _______ Motors To Galveston, Texas Mr. Robert B.

Wash ington out from Hampton Insti tute forty years ago tci give to tin sons and daughters of the under privileged masses of his own race an education suited to their needs and the demands of a highly in dustrialized civilization was sounded anew last week at the first conference of colored CCC educational advisers at Hampton, Virginia, by Robert Fechner, Di rector of the Civilian Conserva tion Corps organization, set-up two years ago under the guidance and inspiration of President Roosevelt, as the first major plan and program for the eountrys* thousands of idle youth and un employed veterans of the World War. “Although we have accomplish ed many d-esirable objectives, much remains to be done and will be done”, asserted Director Fech ner, the man most responsible for the universally approved record of the CCC since April 1, 1933. The audience was composed of the faculty of both races as well as the twenty CCC educational ad visers in attendance at the confer ence. Anyone sitting in that audience as Director Fechner revealed the future of the CCC had memories crowding in upon him, too, of General Armstrong, the great Civ il War leader who had budded higher than he could see, when he founded Hampton Institute. On this ground, once the site of Gamp Hamilton Hospital—a mutual asylum for those fallen and handicapped in battle—the conference met today to plan for the nation Ts idle and indigent youth. It seemed that Dr. Thomas G. Bennett, Third Corps Area Educa tional Adviser of the CCC and leader of the conference, select-, ed a most fitting meeting place at Hampton Institute to restate the recent history and the simple and | practical objectives of the educa tional program in the CCC camps located in the states of Pennsyl vania, Virginia ,Maryland and the District of Columbia. “f rom the beginning of the Ci vilian Conservation Corps organi , zation. employment of colored educational advisors has been considered desirable”, said Di rector Fechner, who flew by plane in order to be present at the open ing session at eight o’clock Wed nesday night after a busy day at his Washington office. “Fifty or more of your race have made good in this capacity”, he con tinued. and the present expan sion program of the organization w ^ necessitate the appointment of additional qualified colored pi of essional men fof service in ’ the various Negro CCC camps.” Director Fechner gave an elo quent recital of the accomplish ments of the CCC men numbering today, nearly 450,000, including 390.000 young men, forty thou sand War veterans, 12,000 Ameri can Indians, and approximately 4.000 residents of Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Is lands Approximately 25,000 of these “enrolees”, as they are cal led, are colored youths and ex service men, among them, two thousand rated men, who reeeive the larger compensation, six hundred first-class cooks, and two hundred qualified typists, now en duty in more than a hum dred colored camps. Two hundred and ninety-two boys in the past month have been awarded senior lift* savers credentials by sueees ful completion of the special courses of instruction conducted in the several corps areas by the National Red Cross Safety Divi sion and several thousand have completed the Red Cross first Aid Course of study held during the past two years for leaders, assistant leaders and the supervis ory personnel at all CCC eamps. Mr. Fechner pointed out the gen erally recognized practical value of the CCC educational set-up de signed to give supplementary training along the line in which the enrollee has shown a special aptitude and determined interest as observed either by the com manding officer, the technical staff unde rwhom he works, or the educational adviser after a personal interview. “The contribution of the CCC boys and men to the advance of science, the added wealth result ing from their brain and brawn, and the concrete benefits to the United States conservation plan and program in every section of the country is amazing”, said Director Fechner, “The volumi nous work records of 1,700 camp superintendents and commanding officers which have come to my desk will some day rest in the vaults of the new Archive build ing in Washington, as one of the most glorious tributes to the name of President Roosevelt iand the youth of this generation, who served in the great peace-time ar my of the Emergency Conserva tion Work organization, where mountain, stream, wood and road give eloquent testimony as to what their hands have wrought.” “We have religiously followed the detailed plan as conceived from beginning to end by Presi dent Roosevelt for the Civilian Conservation Corps ’ explained Mr. Feehner. “the original pencil sketch made by the President ha* been saved as part of the record for future historians. We have constantly striven to approximate the ideal which he conveyed to those of us entrusted with the administrative responsibility of the organization, to the end that these thousands of unemployed American bdys and veterans might be rehabilitated physically mentally and morally ,so as ulti mately to take their rightful place in industry and as more useful citizens in the community.ry “The government has tried to be of genuine help to them,,? con tinued Director Feehner, “w'e are taehmeg these youngsters all over America how’ to work; the value of work and the way to cooperate and to live together. The Presi dent has from the beginning ex pressed the hope that the months spent by these boys in camp would prove highly beneficial to them and they might always have happy memories of their experi ences. ’ * Howard W- Oxley, director of the CCC educational program, re presenting the United States Of fice of Education, followed Di rector Fechner on the platform. He was introduced by Dr. Thomas G. Bennett, as the former Second Corps Area Adviser, who had merited by his exceptional record the greater national recognition, which had come to him. Mr. Ox ley brought greetings to the "fel lows” directly from Dr. Stude baker, United States Commission er of Education, who said it was his belief that the CCC education al advisers had the biggest job of any group of men in America. Mr. Oxley, like Director Fech ner, talked right from the shoul der to the large audience and the assembled camp educational ad visers. who knew the difference between class room work and the big outdoor CCC job in and about the barracks, wood and recreation hall, and the technique of teach ing something well with, a few tools, the art of sharpening the boys’ skills through the proper and full utilization of ail possible resources, around the camp and nearby community. Mr. Oxley paid high tribute to the inspiration and work of Dr. Booker T. Washington, which he had observed at first hand, while educational adviser for the Liber ian government. He pointed out the practical and abundant fruits of such specialized industrial training as that afforded by the Booker T. Washington Institute on the West Coast of Africa. Colonel Hunt, representing Ma jor-General Callan. commanding officer of the Third Corps Area, gave a very enlightennig presen tation of the War Department’s ■nterest and concern for the con tinued success of the Civilian Con servation ( orps, each and every enroilee. the technical staff, and the educational advisers, without regard to racial distinction. Dean Aries, representing Presi dent Howe of Hampton Institute, and Major Walter R. Brown ex tended the welcome of this famed southern institution of learning to Director Fechner, the United States Office of Education, and War Department representatives and the other participants present for the Third -Corps Area CCC educational conference called by Dr. Bennett. Since the speech of Mr. Fech ner, before the educational eon fernee at Hampton Institute, in structions have been forwarded to the several Corps Area Command ers, by the War Department, di recting them to call colored Re serve Medical officers and chap lains to active duty for service in various Negro Civilian Conserva tion Corps camps. Dr Maurice E. Johnson, First Lieutenant of the U. S. Reserve Officers Corps, and one of the first Negro medical officers to be called to active duty with the Civilian Conservation Corps, has been assigned to CCC Company No. 1334, Camp NT-(National for est)-11, at Goshen, Virginia. His appointment went into effect on August 14. 1935, as a result of a decision approved by President Roosevelt to call colored medical officers and chaplains to active duty. At the request of Robert Fechner, director of Emergency Conservaiton work, the Adjutant General’s Office of the War De partment issued instructions from W ashington to the commanding Generals of the nine Army corps areas on Saturday, August 10,! 1935. Dr. Johnson’s appointment was made the following Wednes day by Major-General Robert E.

Aug. 28, (ANP)— Tuskegee Institute claims0 the unique distinction of being th« institution to inaugurate intern ships for Negro veterinarians. Dr. F. D. Pattersftn, president, whose basic training is that of a veterinarian, has for sometime felt that Negro veterinarians are placed at a disadvantage by flot being able to gain, under guid ance, some practical experieee in addition to their theoretical0 training before launching out in to private practice. The Veterinary Division a t Tuskegee Institute is well suited to this innovation because of its well-equipped facilities including operating room*, laboratory fac ilities and ward space, and be cause of the abundance of mate rial being prsented for diagnosis and treatment in the surrounding coriLunity as well as the large floeks and herds belonging to Tuskegee Institute . In commenting upon this addi tion to Tuskegee *s program.
