DR.. Edwin Lee, director National
Occupational Conference and one
of Americas outstanding authori-
ties on vocational training, took is
sue last Friday with those voca-
tional school officials who exclude
or discourage Negro youth from
entering certain vocational train

they cannot find employment OPP

DR.. Lees statement regarding
this practice came in response to
a question raised by C. w. Wash
ington, executive secretary of the
Minneapolis Urban League at the
Regional Conference of the Ma
tional Occupational Conference held
at the Curtis Hotel May 10 to 20.
In view of the difficulties en-
countered by the Minneapolis Ur-

Negro boys and girls registered in
such courses as printing, power

such resistance is made by voca-
tional schools throughout the coun-
try, and if so, on what grounds can
school officials justify such a prac-
tice. DR.. Lee replied that it is a
general practice throughout the
country to limit vocational train
ing of Negroes to such fields as are
open to them at the present time,
but he added most emphatically
that "by no stretch of the magma
ton can such a policy be justified"
Celebrating on the point, DR..
Lee stated that with respect to vo-
cational training the Negro pre-
sents the greatest challenge to edu-
Gators, most of whom are not fac
ing the problem realistically. In a
few southern communities, how
ever, the newer and best equipped
vocational schools are for Negroes.

siderable significance to Negroes
locally because of the restrictive
policies practiced by local voca-
tional schools. One of the major

st. Paul Urban League secretary,
were w. S. Butler, real estate and
insurance agent, and Cecil E. New
man, editor of the st. Paul Re-
corder.
Mr.. Elwers said that he was OPP
posed to a bill which was designed
to eliminate racial discrimination
in this type of coverage, but failed
to come to vote in the Minnesota
House after passing the Senate
AS at the last session of the
Legislature. He added, however,
that the introduction of the bill had
set him thinking about the problem
and he had decided to do some
thing about it.
Companies Which Let Down Bars
The companies suggested by the
insurance men were:
London Guarantee and Accident
Company, st. Paul Mercury Indem-
nifty Company, Travellers Insurance
Company, Underwriters at Lloyds
of Minneapolis, Maryland Casual
ty Company, Employers Mutual,
Hardware Mutual, Liberty Mutual,
Austin Mutual, Anchor Casualty
and the Aetna Casualty and Surety
Company.
Admit Discrimination
Admitting that there had been
discrimination by companies, the
insurance men stated that they had
contacted the concerns listed and
that the promise of no racial dis
elimination had been given.
1t was pointed out, however, that
this promise had been made previ-
ously but those making it had
failed to keep it. The insurance
men then requested that if any per-
son is turned down by the sug-
gested companies, for racial rea-
sons, they would be glad to under
take personal Investigations to
bring about corrections.
Contact Officials If Refused
Mr.. Elwers stated there might be
a possibility of some clerks turn
ing down a policy on racial
grounds, but this would be cor
rected if the officials of the COM
pany would be contacted. He also
said that some agents might turn
down business, but this, too, would
be corrected if called to the atten-
ton of the proper officials.
Don't Accept Policies On False
Grounds
During the meeting discussion
arose about companies which re-
fuse to write insurance on colored
people, but accept policies from
agents when the colored applicant
is described as white. The insur-
ance men asserted that this was il
legal and that anyone who has such
a policy is not really protected.

Her dis trict includes Bucks Hill, Chestnut Hill, Lakewood Road, and the up- per part of Walnut street exten- sion. The four factories in Water vile are the main support of the families she visits. Excellent play grounds provide safety for the children, and four churches give them their religious education. The families living here turn to Miss Farrar for guidance in mat terS of health.

SCOUTS CAMP AICN
 LACKING $9,5OO
Campsite Fund of $7,5OO Separate From General
 Council Fund

Approximately $2,00O more need to be collected to reach the goal of $13,000 set by the Mattatuck Coun- cil for operating expenses, it was reported last night at conference of Boy Scouts leaders. This sum, however, is apart from the $7,500 needed for development of the new camp site at Plymouth, and as the two sums are sought concurrently in the financial campaign, a con- siderable amount is still needed to bring the annual canvass to success full completion.
 Contributions to the camp fund, however, are in the form of special gifts, and the campaign will con- tinue through the spring and sum- mer, as it did last year, when nearly $7.000 was received.
 Scout officials are hopeful that when workers have been able to reach a larger number of prospec- tive contributors than have been approached thus far, the full amount of the budget will be subscribed.
 A special meeting has been ar- ranged for Monday night at The El- ton where complete and final re- turn" will be made.
