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.

Emergency Con
: servation Work
Office of the Director
Washington ,P- C.
By Edgar G. Brown
Something of the spirit and vi
sion which sent Booker T. 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.

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

Fechner, director of Emergency
Conservaiton work, the Adjutant
General’s Office of the War De
partment issued instructions from

Veterinary Interne

Tuskegee. 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.
