about $500 yearly in gasoline and re-

700.
4. To police the proposed extension
will require one additional police

Raleigh, March 16.-If the Senate
cOncurS in a minor amendment, the
act requiring the immunization
against diphtheria of all children
between six and twelve months OF
age will become the law Of North
Carolina. The amendment was Of
fered by Bryant of Durham and
merely limits the penalty for viola
ton to an amount within the Jurls-
diction Of justices of the peace.
Brief debate preceding the vote,
by which the Long Senate bill pass

Of the far-reaching import of the
measure. When the bill was called,
Mr. Cherry arose to state that he
would like for some gentleman of
intelligence to explain it. Repre-
sentative doc" McNair, Of Rich
mond, quickly got the floor, as chair
man of the committee on health,
which approved the bill.
''The gentlemen qualities under
the intelligence test" commented
the speaker.
Such opposition as developed tc
final passage of the bill was led by
Representative Cherry, of Castor
and LeGrand, of Wilmington, both
of whom admitted that they had nc
children When Larry Moore, Of
Wilson arose, the speaker wanted
to know if he was speaking with au-
thority, if he had any children

cited figures as to costs and plans

It should be borne in mind that
the following figures do not con-
template the carrying Of sewer,
water, and paved streets and paved

inhabitant of the area covered by
the proposed extension of the city
limits, for there are now in Hender-

enjoy all of these privileges, but the
figures do provide for the proposed
extension the same advantages now
enjoyed by like property now IN the
city limits.
To provide fire protection for
the people of the proposed extern
sion will cause the laying of 21,120
feet of six-inch pipe. The cost of the
pipe will be SOC foot and will make
a cost of S16,896. The WPA can lay
this pipe and will furnish all labor
without cost to the City of Hender-
son and will contribute about 40 per-
cent of the material cost, leaving a
cost of S1O,O38.60 to be borne by the
City of Henderson to provide ade-
quate fire protection for the built
up area of the proposed extension

be built up.

Negro Education In Alabama

Reviewed by Gertrude Martin
Much attention has been paid
recently to the differences in ex-
penditures based on race made by
all The southern states Alabama is
by no means an exception to this
general southern policy. In this book
DR., Bond traces the history OF Ne
gro education in Alabama and
shows how discrimination first
arose in the appropriation Of funds
for Negro and white schools in this
state. DR.. Bond offered this work
as his thesis for the Doctor OF Phi
losophy degree at the University
of Chicago. Like many theses it can
be recommended for its wealth OF
factual material and the authors
objective treatment rather than for
ease or interest OF style.
Important events in the history Of
Negro education in Alabama were
the results OF an intervening OF
social, political and economic fac
tors. Often as the author points out
the race issue was brought out by
selfish interest attempting to sway
the electorate and depending on the
old bugsboo of social equality. Fur
Their the pattern OF the Negro people
as slave and inferior group was
too firmly set in the minds OF many
whites TO be too easily erased. As
Dr. Bond writes:
Forgetting the issue OF moral
evslustion. clarity OF understand

studying Reconstruction we are

AOUR PLATFORM

Through the efforts of Senator Charles C. Diggs
and associates the readers of the Michigan Chronicle
have seen the achievement of one of the major pankS
in our platform which appears at the top of this
column. We believe that the movement to organize
Negro unit of the National Guard in Michigan is
worthy of all the support our citzenry can possibly
give it. The very practical manner IN which the
Senator has proceeded in seeking the establishment
of this unit commands our admiration and respect
He has and Is doing worthy work we'll We who
have long sought the establishment of this unit are
proud, and we join with the masses in extending
congratulations to our state Senator.
1t is interesting to observe how fruitful have been
the efforts of our state Senator, who is our only
elected official of great Importance today. We see
clearly why it is important that we vote and eject
our own people to political Offices. Senator Dggs
has been in position to do and has done hundreds
of services to his group which would have been I'M
possible had he not been an elected Official we
often hear it said that one person or another is
political big shot and that he or she can manipulate
things in the interest of the group although they
do not have any particular office The political Dig
Shots however are those who hold office and exercise
il properly and if there others who have power
it is a mere accident and of no lasting worth.
In short, the citizenry of our group should and
must become interested in voting our men INTO po-
sons where they will have the opportunity to serve
the interests of all of us better We come again to
the question of getting people to register and
vote. In a few short weeks we shall be called upon
to elect the mayor of Detroit and possibly to elect
some Negro to position of responsibility and power
We cannot start our campaign for greater Negro
vote too soon The platform of the Michigan Chronicle
calls for colored representation in all departments of
the city government, state, county and city boards
of education and all other places where the interests
of our people might be served The ballot, however,
is the tool which has been demonstrated to be the one
most effective instrument for the attainment of these
ends within our power
