$450,000 CAMPAIGN DRIVE IS
NOW ON—URBAN LEAGUE
SERVICE FUND
The 37—year old Urban League
movement is the most effective
single force for improved' Negro
White relationships in the United
States, as well as the development
of equal economic opportunities
for the Negro “one-tenth of the
nation,” Henry R. Luce, editor of
Time and Life, said yesterday In
launching the national 1947 Urban
League Service Fund Campaign
for $450,000.
Mr. Luce, campaign chairman,
spoke to members of the campaign
commottee meeting at the Wald
orf-Astoria Hotel at which fund
raising tasks were assigned
“Three thousand Negro and
White communal leaders, serving
as board members, and 400 staff
members in the National Urban
League and 56 local leagues thr
oughout the country are active the
year ’round in carrying out the
Urban League program,” Mr. Luce
said.
“All fields are explored in the
league's attempt to find jobs,
create new job opportunities in
business and industry, give voc-'
ational guidance, initiate inter
racial cooperation to prevent fric
tion and ease tension, promote
better housing and develop other
activities in behalf of Negroes.
“The increase of Negroes in em
ployment previously closed to
them is definitely attributable in
a great measure to the tireless
work of League officials with bus
iness firms, labor and government
al agencies.”
Mr. Luce also reported briefly on
the League’s community relations
project which will end in August
after three years of operation.
During this period, he said, 13
communities have been studied,
with the cooperation of local agen
cies, to investigate the conditions
under which Negroes work and
live, and to recommend improve
ments.
The $40u,uuu set as the campaign
goal, Mr. Luce said, is for the Nat
ional League’s program of resear
ch, planning and coordination of
activities by the local leagues, as
well as the neighborhood work of
Greater New York.
Fifty-five other local leagues are
supported mainly by community
chest grants.
Other speakers including Lester
B. Granger, executive secretary,
Naional Urban League, and Ed
ward S'. Lewis, executive director,
Urban League of greater New
York.
Serving on the campaign com
mittee are: Lloyd K- Garrison, for
mer member of the War Labor
Board, and recently elected pres
ident of the National Urban
League, and Dr. Williain H. Kil

BOYS ATTACK STREETCAR—
***
by R. F. Poindexter
On the night of April 18th, a tra
gedy accured as the Crosstown
streetcar was ending its run near
27th & Lake Street. As the car
stopped to admit a passenger, yells
of daring boys filled the air, then
silence, and then an echo of broken
glass from the rear window arous
ed the passengers of the car. The
conductor, who requested that his
name be withheld, entered the oil
station on 30th & Lake Street to
notify the police and streetcar re
pairmen. Police cars arrived at the
scene about 9:30- The police return
ed from a search within a few
minutes with seven young boys be
tween the ages of 14 and 16. The
police officers lined the boys on
the sidewalk for the conductor to
identify. Due to the fact, that the
conductor did not see the boy’s
faces when the window was bro
ken, he was unable to identify the
assulters. The boys were then re
leased and sent home. An elderly
lady who occupied the rear seat
barely excaped injury by the frag
ments of the flying glass, other
wise no one was hurt. The fifteen
passengers were transferred to an
other car, as repairmen removed
broken glass from the streetcar
and street. As yet, no arrest has
been made.

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS
PERFECT
WOMANHOOD ?
“No"—claim medical authorities, who ought to
know! Nature has so constructed and physi
cally endowed woman that in many cases she’s
apt to suffer certain distressing symptoms
during her life. For instance, when she enters
womanhood—or during the menopause, the
period when fertility ebbs away.
Now if on ‘certain days’ of the month—fe
male functional monthly disturbances are
causing you to suffer from pain, nervous dis
tress and feel so tired, cranky, you snap at
your children and husband—then do try Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to relieve
Such symptoms. It’s famous for this purpose.
Made ESPECIALLY For Girls and Women
Pinkham’s Compound does more than relieve
such monthly pain. It also relieves accom
panying nervous tension, irritability and weak,
highstrung feelings—when due to this cause.
Taken regularly thrucut the month — this
great medicine helps build up resistance
against such distress. A thing any sensible
Woman should want to do!
Lydia Pinkham’s Compound is also very •
effective to relieve hot flashes and those funnv,
embarrassing feelings during the years 38 to
52—when due to the functional ‘middle-age’
period peculiar to women.
Pinkham’s Compound is worth trying!
