BRIEFS
BY BILL GARRIGUS.

Lightning rod statesmen are not
as active this year as normal but
they have made a golden harvest
in this area In years gone by.
Peddling lightning rods has lift
ed many a mortgage. Country
preachers used to sell lightning
rods before they started taking an
interest In politics and winning
a few extra dollars filing claims
for old age pensions. How well
they succeeded Is evident by an
inspection of the ridge poles Of
farm buildings through the rail
fence belt.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-05-25

Selling lightning rods is an art.
The rustics have developed heavy
sales resistance and they have
been taken by many hustlers who
had no idea Of delivering any
thing more tangible than excuses.
II q lightning rod man can get
down payment, IT'S ten TO one he
will scram.

Apex Launches Drive
To Give Employment

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.-(SNS)
In observance of the Seventy
fifth anniversary of the Ernancipa-
ton Proclamation, the Apex News
and Hair Company, of which Nine
Sara Spencer Washington is
founder and president, has dedi-
Gated July as Apex Progress Month,
during which a huge campaign is
being launched to bring about
more employment of young men
and women by the organization.
In disou;lsipg the cotnpany's
program. Nine. Washington point
ed out that the time has long since
arrived when Negro business enter
prises should be more energetic
in their desires to gain greater
patronage from their people and in
turn employ more race workers.
1t is quite fitting to launch these
campaigns and to free ourselves
from economic slavery at a time
when we are celebrating the ami
versary of the freedom of our fore
bears from physical bondage. With
proper public support, Negro busi-
nesses can at least partially solve
the great unemployment problem
confronting its people.
The great Apex organization,
which already employs hundreds
of race young men and women in
good paying positions, such as
stenographers, managers teachers,
clerks. statesmen, laboratory work
ers. etc. does not choose to rest on
its laurels, but to go ahead to even
greater achievements in it's aims
to build a great economic force.
With Apex shoppes and agents
participating, the campaign gets
underway July 1.

June term.
The section of the presentmentS
devoted to Grady Hospital condl-
tions is as follows:
MANY Grand Juries have COM
mented on the deplorable condi-
ton of Grady Hospital because of
the overcrcwded condition. AS an
example, the White Nurses Home,
constructed in 1918, was designed
to accommodate 80 young white
girl nurses. At present, by some
magical trick, it accommodate"
go of the nurses The same con-
dition applies to the colored nurses.
G1any Grand Juries have conf
mented on the fire hazard particu-
;ar1y in the colored nurses quar-
ters. It is stated that if fire we're
to break out in the colored nos.
pital proper, the white maternity
wards or the white out-patient
department, there would be tragic
ard inexcusable loss of life. We
understand that various plans have
been proposed for the correction
of these conditions, but no def
mite and final plan has been
adopted. This situation is really
serious. Prompt and serious con-
sideration ought to be given to Sc
curing the necessary money and
completing plans for the required
new buildings"

Trick Makes
Laborers Out of
Postal Clerks

NEW ORLEANS, --(ANP)-
Shrewd maneuvering on the part of
the local postmaster was found to
be the reason for several Negroes
having been eligible for postal clerk
appointments, now working as
laborers in the post office. This
trick was barred through an investi-
cation following reports that there
was no laborers' eligible list, and,
the several Negroes that had made
passing grades on clerk examina-
tions were now employed as labor
ers, and that their names had been
erased" from the clerks eligible
list.
Checking with the Civil Service
commission on this, it was found
that no eligible list for labore./ ex-
listed, and that it had expired so
long no records were readily avail
able. Further investigation re-
vealed that several appointments in
this service had been made in the
last few years and that these ap-
pointments were Negroes, former
ly eligibles on the clerks list.
According to Leon Lewis, AS
sociated Negro Press representative,
who is directing Nthe investigation.
there are at least four Negroes
working in the local post office as
laborers who clerk-eligibles from
the 1885 clerk-csrriers' examina-
ton.
since the expiration Of the labor
ers' ligible list, the postmaster Sc
cured permission from the commits
sion to "offer" clerk eligibles per-
manent laborer's appointments. He
has the right to select one of three,
and it being very convenient" to
choose a Negro, offers him the
switch" in this manner: A letter
gives the clerk eligible full right

Mississippi Delta
Makes Bid For Rust

HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss, (ANP)
It has been rumored that Rust
college will rebuild at a new loca-
ton since the main building was
destroyed by fire a few months
ago The rich Delta section of Mis-
sissippi has realized the vital neeo
of standard four year accredited
college to prepare it's boys and
pirls for a better standard of llv-
ing.
Greenwood and Mound Bayou
are places for the location put
above all means, if the change Is
made, they should rebuild IN
Mound Bayou, which would be the
discovery of a gold mine in the
Delta to serve approximately
$4,000 Negroes.
