For ex mu pic, Mrs, J. M Hale <>l her meraville, Texn . in asking for such material says: “I aai plan n,ng to u e it in my classroom, ( ulso I feel that the information • I gain from the literature will j he beneficial to me in writing a theme on tin* contributions of the Negeo in connec ion with Hiy work at the North Texas State Teachers College.’ Mrs Torn K. SinuiKnis of Fan pa, Toxins, request-: a supply if lit eratur* bearing upon the eel ehrattion for use in her class in social studies in the local high school. Miss Hi Me Campbell of Sl(nlhytown, Texas, wants all literature available not only from the Association for the' ’Study of Negro Life and 11 is- j tory, hut. from any other sour ce which may be helpful in sup plying information for her sb eial science cinqs, for she be lieves that tlw* study of the Ne gro problem cinimot be carried too far .in the South. Mrs. A. 1>. Mehiuie of Lockhart, Tex., disclaims any connection with a dub or organization, but she haq helped tiidirectly whenev er tile opportunity lut.s present ed it elf both Negro schools and Negro churches); and she de sirea to make whatever contri bution she can in the further ance of thus effort not only for this partieulua* weik, but that will tend to heUp the Negro race in their tt-.-N ihroughout lift-. Wiith this keener appreeia tion of the Negro’s contrihu tion, other agencies have more willingly respondid to the re quests for cooperation. It is lew difficult to have editors and reporter note these act ivities in their columns. The white press* has, become more liberal with space. Broadcast considerate of this appeal to ing stations, have become more the public. Several workers in connection with the Associa tion will broadcast in Philadel phia, New York and Chiegtao. In New Orleans Professor L. D. Reddick of LHllard Univer sity will talk over the radio on “The Negro in Latin America.” In view of Hfie rapidly in creasing demand for posters and the literature to be used in the celebration of Negro History Week it' has been nee eesspjry to print an additional supply. Clubs, suhools and churches not yet provided with these materials may sltill ob tain them by addressing C. G. Woodson, 1538 Ninth Street, Northwest, Washington, I>. C. FACTS Not long ago one of the na tion’s leading chain store or ganizations conducted a sur rey of its 13,000 employes to determine exaltly their stand ard of living. The survey in eluded every individual in the employ of the company sten ograp'lifrs, bookkeepers, ware housemen, truck driver , store and market, workers, and ex eetitlves. I. vv’as conducted on th • heels of the worst depre sion iu the history of t)ne coun try, ye. here are a few of the results: 151 per emt of the fain ilie i represented on the com pany's payroll own their own homes, 65 jar cent own radios, 62 per cent own ears, and 67 per cent of all employes pat income taxes. In addition (hen hi one for those who are in elined to believe that th',' chains are ant i-social) 77.H per rent of the employes made various donations to organized char j it.es, amounting to about $20 | per employe. While on tta* > abject of thv chain store contributions to lo cal c.vic activities a,ml char ities, a recent investigation by the federal Trade (.’ommis-ion is of particular interest. Of 153 chain store companies in vesftign.ted by the conumi, sion, 82 per cent \vei> found gen erally to be uitah’.lig eontribu ^ion^ to local civic and charity groups. Average contribut.on per store pt r year was found to be $77. .Moreover, it was found that 87 per cent of the local tore managers in 120 different chains were miaking additional contributions of, on the average, $50 per man per ■ year. In view of these figures am , fair minded person dan only conic to one conclusion. The I chains arc nin essential 'asset | to the nation, socially as well) as economically. THE LOW DOWN , '■-from - HICKORY GROVE Speed is grdat stuff—in its place—like when you a,re get tin' a tooth pulled, you are in favor of havin’ it over with, quick. And you don’t want a dentist to go home when the wdsi^tfle blows, with the tooth half pulled—evin if you are a , person who drops your own hammer, unless you get over tiihie or double-time. And if doctors would get over-time, after 3 p. m., or 4 p. in., people could not afford to see theni—dike they eaji not hardly a'fford lots of things now, on account of so much double time, etc. And if a feh ler work in’ on your house is h'alf-way up tjhe lodder, and it is 4 p. m., he won’t move up or come down unlessi he gets ■more pay. But I have strayed off of speed, which I started out on. But to make the streets half way safe, we need to do more than just blather about speed. We gotta start teachin’ in the schools, about a heavy foot on {|he gas and corpses per gallon, etc., and forget the speedy idamas and paipas, 'cu?fc the only cure there, it is a wreck, —and the embalmer.
