GROUP OF GIRLS WORK WAY
 THROUGH HOWARD COLLEGE
Miss Gussie Upchurch Is Helping Blind Girls Who Are
 Fellow Students

Back home and brokei She want cd to go to college but didn't have any money!
 To work or not to work, that was the question: Having decided to do the former, she hunted the work.
 Two weeks of work downtown in the afternoons and she decided the man who said genius Is only great pains" was right.
 Two blind girls also had unified ambitions to go to college.
 The Alabama Association for the Blind offered s1o0 to a Howard coll lege student to coach them during vacant periods and in the afternoons.
 Miss Gussie Upchurch found this out. knew she could do the work. went after it and got 1t.
 Miss Upchurch, who is the daugh- ter of c. A. Upchurch, 1918 Cotton avenue, West End, attended Howard during 1920-21 and 192122. The past year she taught in Etowah county. When she decided to return to How ard this fall she felt it necessary to do some work on the outside to help pay her college expenses. Having worked with the Bell Telephone company in the afternoons for two weeks, she learned of the S100 offer ed by the association for the blind for some one to help Miss Burlie Jane Key and Miss Bertha Little,N two blind girls who had finished their high school work at the School for the Blind in Talladega and wanted to work toward a college degree.
 Miss Upchurch was granted the work and immediately began upon her duties as coach to these two girls.
 In most of the work, Miss Upchurch reads to her pupils, discusses the work, paragraph by paragraph, and SO fixes 1t in their memory. In French, she dictates to them tho vo- cabularies. and they write 1t in Braille. the raised system of writing, used by the blind. In two classes, history and biology, which Miss Up- church has with her pupils. she takes the notes as the professors give them, and later dictates them to the blind girls. This makes her work in these subjects much more thorough for her pupils Miss Key and Miss Little can take notes rapidly themselves in Braille, but not quite so fast as others can take them in script, hence, at times a whole sentence may be left out, and ruin the value of their notes. Therefore, in ,classes where notes are valuable, Miss Upchurch gets them from trustworthy members of the class and dictates slowly enough for her pupils to get them in their own way.
 One of the incest things about her work, Miss Upchurch says, Is the visits she makes with her pupils to the headquarters of the Association for the Blind where they at times do work. Here Miss Upchurch will read aloud, while quite an audience gather around to hear her. After the reading, the blind boys and girls. many of whom are talented musicians, will get up an impromptu concert, and all will have a good time.
 In addition to her work with Miss Key and Miss Little, Miss Upchurch takes an active part in the work of many of the organizations on the campus and in student activities.
 She Is & charter member of the Ruthian society, club of girls for the promulgation of religious activ- ities, which was founded in the

Government Guarantees Loan Ob-
 tained To Finance Work
 Trade facilities do not at first glance have a direct connection with unemployment. The Trade Facili- ties act has. however. been one of England's most successful measures intended to decrease unemployment.
 The purpose ts to make possible construction of various kinds. which without the assistance given thls law. would not go forward in time of depression. Tho assistance IS simple, being merely the govern ment's guarantee of principal and in- terest upon loan obtained to finance the work.
 In a land where tax-exempt se- curities are practically unknown, the effect is to allow municipalities and business concerns to obtain the funds in the money market at reduced cost. This reduction in the cost of funds seems to make 1t worth while to proceed with money projects in anticipation of their need when busi- ness revives.
 So far. tho government has given its guarantee for undertakings cost ing 150 million dollars. Both local authorities and private companies have obtained the guarantee.-Na- tion's Business.
