BORDER BRIEFS"
By Clifford c. Hawkins

That the members are earnestly and
sincerely trying to make the LOYAL
TY campaign big success was clear
ly evidenced by the greatly increased
attendance at the last morning service
Rev. D. P. Young, inspired by the eff
forts of the senior choir, rose to new
heights in his message Too, the con-
gregation enjoyed the added pleasure
of hearing few added remarks of en-
enlargement from Elder P. L. Lock-
EFT, pastor OF the Power House Church
of God in Christ and the head of the
woman's department OF that denom-
ination. From all indications Border
is on the way to greater Christian SER
vice and value to the community.
Next Sunday evening, Feb. 5, will be
the occasion of the regular monthly

7:30 p. m. Every member is expected
to avail himself of the opportunity of
partaking of this means of grace. In
creased attendance at this service is as
essential in making the loyalty drive

morning worship hour. This is a very
impressive and beautiful service which
every member should appreciate. Rev.

OKLAHOMA BILL AIMS TO
EXPAND NEGRO EDUCATION
See you Sunday.

Tulsa, Okla, Jan. = (CNA)-The
! victory of Negro student over the
University of Missouri in a Supreme
Court decision handed down Dec. II
1888, compelling the school to admi,
him, has had far-reaching results in
this State in the advancement of anti
discrimination legislation.
A bill, introduced this week into the
State Legislature, calls for changing
the name of the Colored Agricul-
tural and Normal College, at Lang
ston, Okla, to the Colored University
of Oklahoma, and the establishment of
schools of law, medicine, dentistry
and engineering for Negro students.
The bill, offered by Representative
Creekmore of Oklahoma City, has
been introduced its sponsors said, to
comply with the decision handed
down by the U. S. Supreme Court in
the case of Gaines VS.. University of
Missouri, under the terms of which
States in the Jim-Crow South arc
compelled to provide equal educational
facilities for both white and Negro
students
The proposed law would give
sharp impetus to Negro education in
Oklahoma by making available to the
large Negro population courses in pro-
fessional subjects which are now de-
MED to such students because of their
race
The measure provides that the
courses offered by the proposed uni
versity shall be of the same standard
as those nov furnished for white stu
dents and that students from other
states may be admitted under GER
tain conditions.
Progressive groups throughout Ok
lahoma are getting behind the bill be-
cause they realize that it is move
toward the cause of equality between
the races that can at this time be
wrung from the State Legislature.
