HONORS ITS VETERAN EMPLOYEES MEMPHIS, Tenn.—One of the most unusual events of its kind ever held in the South was the gathering of 200 persons, includ ing 150 negro employes of Plough Inc., at a testimonial dinner at Booker T. Washington high school the night of Sept. 26 to honor two negroes who have been with the Plough Company more than 20 years. Center of interest during the dinner and program were Warren Edward Martin, a Plough employ ee 29 years, and Will Simpson, with 27 years’ service. Flanked by their fellow workers, the hon ored guests sat at a table of honor vvith their wives; Prof. Blair T. Hunt, who is an ordained minister and principal of Booker T. Wash ington school and Prof. Nat Wil liams, faculty member and Mem phis newspaperman. Ceremonies were directed by com pany officials and top executives of Plough Inc., Memphis manufac turers of the famous Black and Beauty Creations, St. Joseph As pirin and other household favor ites. The dinner marked enrollment of the two employes as members of the company’s newly-formed 25 year club. 'You have many great leaders to point to said Hardwig Peres, Memphis philonthropist, humani tarian and a leading Memphis citi zen, who was the principal seaker and it is significant indeed that we gather here tonight in this fine, modernbuilding, dedicated as a monument to the memory of the late great Booker T. Washington. Mr. Peres also eulogized the sci entific works for mankind of negro scientists. Man to be truly man must walk in the image of God said Mr. Peres, and everyone of you has the opportunity to be wor thy of the heritage given you by your many leaders”. Abe Plough, president of Plough Ins., who founded the company 38 years ago in one room and has seen its sales and operations ex tend throughout the United States and into 64 foreign countries, lau ded the two honored guests as fol lows: “I regard both of you as an ex ample of our employes, and to me you symbolize the true meaning oi success”. Then Mr. Plough pre sented each of the two with tht company’s gift of a wrist watch, duplicate of the watcch that he wore as a charter member of the 25 Year-Club. The guests were brought closer to the life of Booker T. Washing ton with the remarks of Joel C. Harris Jr., a special guest from Atlanta, son of the late, famous writer of southern folklore stories who told how he fondly remember ed the visits and talks of the great educator with his father. He said that one of his most prized poses sions was a book, written and au tographed by the educator and gi ven to the elder Harris. Responding on behalf of the Plough employes present, the Rev. C. J. Barton, who works in the company’s laboratory, hailed the company-employe dinner as the 1st event of its kind in the south.

Standing squarely behind the Navy in our recent struggle was an all-Ameri can team on which every citizen played a vital part. Our victory was attained through the concer ted efforts of members of every race and religion. Your Navy and the Nation re quire the continued service of a people bound by a unity of spirit. The National Urban League has made a great contribution to the achievement of that unity in its effective and intelligent efforts to-; ward welding the bonds of interra- ' cial amity. j We in America, must attain a more concrete awareness of our! leadership as a Nation in the move of the World toward a lasting peace. We must realize that this leadership can be maintained only by the same strength in unity at home which served us so effective ly in a time of crisis. Let each of us firmly resolve to work for the attainment of that national solidarity which we must achieve if we are to build a world of nations united.. a world in which we sincerely hope, all people may live in harmony and common un derstanding.” MOUZON AND MONTGOMERY ARE REMATCHED PHILADELPHIA (CNA)—Wes ley Mouzon, the sensational new lightweight has been signed to re meet lightweight champion Bob Montgomery here in the Quaker City October 28th.
