4-H'ers Urged To Help
Promote Ikes Program
For Low Income Farmers
One hundred and twenty-five of
the nation’s top 4-H club boys and
girls, meeting he^e at Howard U
niversity last week in their eighth
annual Regional Camp, were urged
by Under Secretary of Agriculture
True D. Morse to help promote
President Eisenhower’s Rural De
velopment Program which is aim
ed at aiding low-income farm fam
ilies.
Speaking in the patio of the De
partment of Agriculture, the Un
der Secretary told the rural youths
from the seventeen Southern
States that they as 4-H leaders can
play an important part in the pro
gram by helping to give fellow
members the knowledge and skill
they need to become healthier,
happier, more prosperous and use
ful young citizens.
In expaining the new program,
Mr. Morse pointed out that the De
partment wants to make it possi
ble for low-income families to bor
row the necessary money to build
up their farming operation; also
it wants to increase its research
and extension work to help them
do a better job.
Continuing, the Under Secretary
said the program also would seek
to bring new business and industry
to areas where low-income farmers
live to help increase their oppor
tunities for part-time and full-time
off-farm employment.
The youngsters got off to a good
start in advancing the program
when one of them, James Shipman
of Liberty County, Ga., sat down
in the Under Secretary’s big chair
and looked over some of the work
he is doing as director of rural
development. “We are going to do
all we can,” James assured Mr.
Morse.
Underdeveloped Resource
Other speakers on the week’s
program were: Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture Earl L. Butz, Fed
eral Extension Administrator C.
M. Ferguson, Miss Nannie H. Bur
roughs, president of the National
Trade and Professional School for
Women; Miss Emmie Nelson, field
representative for the National
Committee on Boys and Girls Club
Work; Dr. C. V. Troup, president
of Fort Valley, Ga., State College;
the Rev. Moses Newsome, pastor
of First Baptist Church, Charles
ton, W. Va.; and Dr. Herman R.
Branson, head of the department
of physics at Howard.
The importance of training them
selves for larger service in farm
ing and other occupations so as to
help meet the needs of the people
of the world more adequately was
the recurrent theme emphasized by
all the speakers.
“Millions of people all over the
world go to bed hungry every
night,” Assistant Secretary Butz
declared. “We must keep open
the doors of opportunity for all.”
Administrator Ferguson told the
4-H’ers, “It’ll take training for
whatever you want to do. To be a
good farmer, you’ll need to be a
good manager, a kind of mechanic
and engineer to keep your equip
ment in running order, and enough
of a chemist to know something a
bout animal nutrition, soil defici
encies, and fertilizer analyses.
In his vesper message which
closed the encampment, Dr. Bran
'son urged the 4-H boys and girls
: to equip themselves to make a real
' contribution to humanity. “Ameri
; ca,” he continued, “has a slim
chance of fulfilling its responsibili
ty to the world without your con
tribution and that of other Negro
Americans. I think we are our
country’s greatest underdeveloped
resource.”
Check Those
Little Feet
Millions of reluctant young
feet will be dragging back to
school during the next few weeks
as the all-too-short summer va
cation comes to an end.
Before school starts is a good
time to make sure that your re
luctant scholar isn’t dragging
his feet because they hurt. As
you know only too well, young
sters’ feet grow at an unpredic
table pace, and it’s a good idea
to check their shoes before they
return to school.
Selecting a back-to-school shoe
that will meet your insistence on
healthfulness and durability, and
your youngster’s demand for
style will be no trick this Fall.
The stores have what is perhaps i
the greatest selection of child- i
ren’s leather shoes ever pro
duced.
Just make certain that the
shoes are well constructed, with
leather soles and uppers, as re
commended by foot specialists.
After that, give your youngsters
their heads and let them have
the fun of selecting real grownup
shos which have been skillfully
scaled down to look like Mom
and Dad’s, But provide the sup
port needed by growing feet.
Generally, shoes for both boys
and girls are slimmer and lighter
this Fall, as a result of the new
lightweight leathers for both up
pers and soles.
Here is a brief run-down on
what you and your youngsters
. will find in the shoe shops:
Leather pumps are a big thing
for little girls. The single strap
shell silhouette is still the most
popular single type in dress and
party shoes.. Little girl’s feet
will really twinkle in the new
luster leather pumps. Patent, of
course, is a perennial in girls’
party shoes, but printed leathers,
metallic finishes and the lusters
are taking some of the play a
way from it.
For school shoes, fine crushed
grains and soft glove leathers
are most popular. Suedes are
used in some school shoes, fre
quently in combination with'
smooth leathers.
Boys shoes - more than ever
follow Father’s. Tassel ties,
gored slip-ons, loafers, wing
tips and U-wings are most popu
lar. Low-top lines in two-eye
let styles will probably be the
most sought-after shoe among
boys this Fall.
The brown family is still Num
ber 1 with boys, although black
is coming up fast. Black leather
is making a comeback mainly
because of the greys and blues
which are being featured in boys’
suits. Cordovan color-which is a
sort of happy medium-is also be
ing shown widely.
The most popular leathers are
the fine grains. They are being
used in both dress and sport
shoes. An innovotion is high
walled leather welting which
adds a real fashion note to the
sturdy boys’ oxford.

Civil Rights
Cites Labor
Progress
A Labor Day roundup of de
velopments in the labor-civil
rights field issued by Charles S.
Zimmerman, Chairman of the
Jewish Labor Committee’s Anti
DSscrimination Department^, re
veals that “substantial progress
has been made during the past
year in combatting racial and re
ligious discrimination.”
Throughout the country mark
ed gains were noted in elimina
ting discrimination by employers
that continue to practice exclu
sion or segregation. The survey
also indicated advances in break
ing down restrictive practices on
the part of those few unions
that still exclude or discriminate;
against minority groups.
In commenting on develop
ments during this period, Mr.
Zimmerman stated that the forth
coming merger of the AFL and;
Ci'O would make the fight for
minority rights, especially in in
dustry, more effective than it
has fcf'en at any previous time in
the history of this country.
As evidence of this, Mr. Zim
merman noted that the draft
constitution of the new federa
tion safeguards “the right of all
workers, without regard to race,
creed, color or national origin,
to share in the full benefits of
trade union organization in the
merged federation.” It further
more provides that a committee
on civil rights shall be set up
“to bring about, at the earliest
possible date, the effective im
plementation of this principle of
non-discrimination.”
I he Jewish Labor Lommittee
leader observed that the united
federation would include over
two million Negroes, Jews and
Puerto Ricans.
Mr. Zimmerman also noted
that a comprehensive program
of civil rights activities for the
united labor movement had been
outlined by George Meany at the
National Trade Union Confer
ence on Civil Rights convened
recently by the Jewish Labor
"Committee. This initiated a Na
tional Trade Union Council of
the JLC whose purpose it will be
to work in cooperation with the
united labor federation on civil
rights issues.
Among the major develop
ments cited in the Jewish Labor
Committee roundup were the fol-!
