CHAIRMAN KAY SAYS
THAT DIR. TRENT COULD
HAVE TOLD MORE IN
CHICAGO ADDRESS ON
RACES PROGRESS

CHARLESTON August 81
| Republican State Chairman Ro-
bert H. c. Kay believes that
DR.. w. W.Tr ent, for two terms
State Superintendent of Free
Schools, and now candidate
for a third term, deserves some
thanks for trying to tell the
world of the high place the
Negro has gained, and used to
hold, in West Virginia and
would deserve more if he had
told the whole story.
DIR. Trent told the folks
gathered for West Virginia Day
at the American Negro EXPOSE
ton, Chicago, last week, that
this state was the first to be
admitted to the Union with a
gradual emancipation clause in
its constitution the first to
provide equal salaries for Negro
and white teacher; the first to
make a Negro state supervisor
of Negro schools" Kay said,
but he Signally failed to men,
ton the fact that these gains
were made possible by, and un-
der Republican state administra
tons. -.
1t was the Republican party |
the Charleston attorney point
ed out, which established the
Home for Aged and Infrm Color
ed Men and Women establish
ed the industrial schools for
colored boys and girls; establish
ed Lakin hospital for the color
ed insane; which established the
home for colored orphans,
1t was the Republican party
Kay continued, (which establish
ed the school for Negroes at
Bluetield; and which built the
State College at Institute into
the great institution it is today.
it was the Republican party
which established the hospital
at Denmar for Negroes afflicted
with tuberculosis, and t h e
schools for the colored deaf and
| blind.
1T was under Republican adj
miniStrations that illiteracy a
mong the Negroes WAS reduced
in two decades by fifty per cent,
| in spite of an increase of popula-
ton of AZ per cent in that same
period. 1t was Republican fair
/ play and foresight that added
20 schools in at many years for
courses above the eighth grade.
| DR. Trent did not offer to tell
of any such gains during the
last eight years to compare with
what the Republican party has
done for the Negro-and will do
again after January"

MINISTER URGES THAT
ALL OBSERVE SAFETY
WEEK SEPTEMBER S-ll

RIPLEY. w. Va. Aug. 28.-|
Rev. John J. Loudin. Chairman
OF the State Minister'S Confer
ence, urges all ministers, regard
less of creed or color to take
an active part in State Safety
Week. He says:
IN cooperation with the De-
partment of Public Safety, |
desire to cal your attention to
the Proclamation Of Governor
Holt setting aside September 8
ii, as Statewide Safety week.
We ministers are requested to
devote our sermons ON Sunday
morning, September 8, to home
and highway safety.
A short time ago at the foot
of cliffs and at curves and other
dangerous places we were erect
ing fiBst-aid stations and we
thought we were doing great
service by giving prompt and
adequate care to the injured
along the highway. The Depart
ment of Public Safety merits
our loyal support and public
commentator for their long
look and faithful efforts. They
have gone even a step further
beyond the Good Samaritan ."
in that they are not satisfied
with caring foa' the wounded.
They have done much to drive
the robbers off the roads. They
are now asking for full cO-opera
ton in the elimination of the
dangerous places. Only the fools
the drunk or the reckless will
overlook the signs, lights and
directions they have placed
along the roads for public
safety ard general welfare.
Whatever affected the life of
the people, when Christ walked
among them, was of vital con.
Germ to Him. Nothing afTect
the lives of the people more in
our day than modern means Of
travel. We, the messengers OF
Christ, must be concerned about
what it does to the people. He
held that all life was sacred and
we must continue the work by
plc aiding for the sacredness of
ph steal, moral and spiritual
life. .......
We are reminded that when
Christ saw the wicked city he
wept over it. How his compass
sionate heart must yearn for
the wreckage Of mind, soul and
body of his children along the
T odern highway of life. We his
ministers, must fellowship with
him in his suffering

Miss Phyllis Lewis, 81, of 53l5
Thirteenth street NV, was drowned
late yesterday at Woodlawn Beach,
Md, while on a weekend party at
the summer cottage of another
Washingtonian.
Miss Lewis body was found in
water less than 4 feet deep. DR..
j. M. Claffy. Anne Arundel County
coroner, continued an investigation
OF the death late last night.
Rescue squads from Annapolis.
Herald Harbor, Bladensburg aud
West Annapolis worked in vain for
more than three hours to revive
the victim.
Miss Lewis and a Washington
married couple were visiting at the
cottage Of Reginald H. Scott, a su-
pervisor for the Potomac Electric
Power Co., when the tragedy oc-
Cured.
Mr.. Scott said the group returned
from ride on the bay in his 40
loot cruiser. and all except Miss
Lewis left the craft when it was
docked and went to the cottage.
She stayed behind to get some
sun" from the cruiser deck.
About IS minutes later, Mr.. Scott
said, he and the others visited the
dock and saw Miss Lewis body float
ing face down in the shallow water
The host waded out, brought Miss
Lewis to shore and Immediately be-
gan resuscitation while the others
summoned first aid.
Thomas j. Cole, jr., first aid crew.

forts, as well as those of the other
rescue squads. failed.
Miss Lewis was pronounced dead
by DR.. Claffy and DR.. E. A. Krause
of Washington, who was visiting at
nearby Edgewater Beach.
Dr. Claffy said it was quite possible
that Miss Lewis fell from the cruiser,
striking her head before topping
into the water. He indicated he
might perform an autopsy before
issuing a death certificate.

No Low Income Surplus.
John Ihlder, executive officer of
the Alley Dwelling Authority, said
he is concerned only with facts and
in supplying an adequate amount
of good housing for families of low
income. If Mr.. Lusk has evidence
of a surplus of such units at rents
below $50 month, he said the
A. D. A. would be glad to study it.
The A. D. A. is not concerned
with any surplus of housing units
for families with incomes of $1,000
year and up, he declared, and
so far as it has been able to deter
mine there is a real shortage of
decent housing, for both white and
colored, at rentals within the reach
of the class which defense housing
is intended to benefit.
'Mr. Lusk is mistaken when he
says such housing units will be sub
sidized 100 per cent" he said. mo
rental subsidies are intended for de-
fense housing" Defense loans up
to 100 per cent of the cost of con-
struction are repayable.
Mr.. Lusk. he intimated. is speak
ing of surplus housing for families
who could we'll afford to pay $50 or
more a month.
