NC. TAKES LEAD In
HEALTH EFFORTS

RALEIGH, N. c. (ANP)-one
Of the most important steps IN the
history. Of the Negro in North Ca
rolina was taken this week when
this state became the first IN the
United States to launch a public
health service for the advancement
Of the health of its Negro popula-
ton.
DR.. Carl v. Reynolds, the State
Health Officer, announced the es-
adjustment Of the service. which
means that a Negro physician es-
pecially trained in public health
work is to be added to the official
staff OF the state health depart
ment. There is not single Negro
serving at the present time on the
staff Of any health department OF
any state In the country in q def
mite set-up which seeks to improve
Negro health. While it has been
admitted, particularly In the South
that death rates were horribly high
and that even the most fundamen-
tai public health precautions were
lacking so far as the Negro popu-
lation was concerned, little effort
has been made to improve the 81
tuation. The health Of both white
and black have suffered as a re-
suit.
Fortunately, there are indica-
tions that this condition is to be
speedily improved. While North
Carolina has led the way, It is re-
ported but not officially confirmed
that Mississippi and Tennessee are
both to follow suit with the ap-
pointment Of Negro physicians at
tached to their state stats whose
business It viii be to plan particu-
larly for the Improvement of Ne
gro health and to bring the color
ed people into closer touch with
the services now being rendered
by these states.

Macon Hotel Steward
Called to Serve on jury

MACON, Ga. (By ANP)-Cur-
tbs Cooper. chief steward at the
Hotel Lanier here for % years, is
the first Negro called in so years
for service on a Bibb county sup
erior court jury. His name is near
the top of a list of citizens sum-
moned to appear Monday for the
trial Of civil and criminal business
here.
One other Negro, c. e. jackson,
drayman, is included on the list
but it is not likely his name will
be called. Priof to 1885 outstand-
ing Negroes were sometimes called
for county jury service. The re-
vision of jury lists to include the
names of colored citizens is in
keeping with the recent Supreme
court decision on the Scottsboro
case.

AGAINST
FRENCH MEASURES
in NORTH AFRICA

PARIS, France (By Nancy Cum
ard for AMP In. protest against
the repressiye measures taken ag-
ainst native workers in algeria
and Tunisia, 1000 French and col
onial workers attended the meet
ing called in Paris by the Commu-
mist Party, the League against I'M
perialism, the LID, and the Star
of North Africa here recently.
Recently the "Croix de Fou''
(Cross of Fire), the most violent
of the numerous French fascist
leagues, has been active in all kind
of provocations in North Africa.
Any organization among the work.
ers there is fiercely suppressed.
The liberty of the press is likewise
attacked, militants of the Star Of
North Africa receiving heavy SEN
fences, and others being arrested
and deported for syndicalist activ-
tiles.
In 1882 the line France took in
North Africa was 1--WE are here on
ly till order is installed" promises
were made that the rights and the
customs of the natives would be
respected. But now it is impos-
sible for even a semblance of JUS
tice to be obtained by the Star of
North Africa during the legal pro-
ceedings brought against the pa
per.
Lampe, Communist secretary of
the Paris region, was enthusiastic
cally applauded when he said "the
enemies of the people, in France
as in Tunisia, fear the unity of the
masses in the struggle to maintain
their rights. But this unity must
and will come, irrespective of all
differences between the races and
.creeds."
