"For some years., declared Rev.

to the league, and general activ-
tiles are at higher pitch than al
any time in its history. Last year
the National Housewives league
was formed. Serving as a stimuli
us to the Negro market, the house
wives league places emphasis up
on purchasing power through Ne
gro women as consumers.
President Walker has continued
the policy Of his predecessors as
it relates to colleges and educat-
ional institutions. He has spoken
at a number Of schools, including
commencement address at his alma
mater, Alcorn, Alcorn, Miss; and
Lane. Education in relation to
business has been stressed re-
peatedly as he appears before col
lege and high school groups.
A native of Mississippi, Presi-
dent Walker has achieved an en-
viable career in the heart Of his
native delta. He has been almost
most without error in business in
vestments. His leadership Of I'm
iversal Life during the worst per-
iod Of the depression has attested
to the soundness of his business
judgement under trying condit-
ions. A fortnight ago, President,
Walker purchased On behalf of his
insurance company $4,000 worth
of National Defense bonds. the
maximum that can be bought in a
single year because of the comp

investment.s Moreover, he sent
out numerous letters urging other

Motion, impaired to the league the
lustre and prestige Of their pre-
eminent career in the field of ed
ucation. The later two, Clinton G.
Spaulding and DR.. Joseph E. Walk
er, have given realism to the OBJ
jectives of the league through
their outstanding successes in the
field of business.
Few Negro organizations have
been more discriminating in its
selection Of leaders as the Nation
al Negro Business league. From
Washington, founder of the Or

leagues leadership has represent

Elected in the general theme of the
1941 convention, Education and
Negro Business"
The 1871 session will be held in
Memphis, August 27-30.
During the past two years Pres
ident Walker has been a positive
influence in building up and ex-
panding the program of the lea
que. While holding with vener-
alton to fundamental principles OF
his predecessors, he has not hest
tated to explore new fields of bus
mess techniques in keeping with
the trends of the day.
Since his election to the presid-
ency of the league at Oklahoma
City, 1889, the National Negro
Business league has made unpre-
cedented strides. DR.. Walker was
reelected for a second term in
1910. Further honor came to the
insurance magnate, who is also
founder-president Of Universal
Life, 18th largest insurance COM
pany in America, when the league
accepted his invitation to hold its
1941 session in the Bluff City, his
home.
The President has organized and
visited Chambers of Commerce in
ever section of America. Last
year he made two visits to Detroit
prior to the session in the motor
city; helped business leaders form
leagues in New Orleans and Kau-
sas City; addressed groups in St.
Louis, Richmond, New York City,
and Little Rock and attended the
important meeting held for Negro
leaders by officials Of the United
States Chamber of Commerce.
Results of this meeting brought
about closer relationship between
white and colored chambers thru
out the country. One of the guest
speakers in Memphis will be l..
P. Dickie, manager Of the South
ern Division of the U. S. Chamber
Of Commerce, during the league
convention in this city.
Like his predecessors, DR.. Walk

OCounty and city law enforce

campaign against the sale of Ii

with a threat that all violators
will be punished.
Sheriff Jacob Theut said that
violations have been ION the in

future all youths under Fl found
drinking in county establish
ments would be arrested and
dealt with according to law.

Chief of Police Arthur !. Ros-

joined Ensign's threat to ask re-
vocation of licenses in each case
where q tavern owner is found
serving persons under age.
The increased number Of high

several recent criminal assault
attempts and at least two deaths
have been attributed to the tav-
ern operators apparent disre-
spect of the laws which govern
his business.
In most instances, officers
said, where youths are involved
in brawls in taverns, investiga-
ton disclosed that the young
sters were allowed free use of
"beer and liquor facilities. In
nearly every case, the tavern
owner has complained that the
law did not IDEAL harshly
enough with the youths"
REMOVE CAUSE /.
I'm the future" warned Sher-
iff Theut, "the careless beer
garden operator will have no
chance to make similar state
ments. Some will be out of
business for good and will face
the same punishment as the boys
and girls allowed free use of the
premises"
Both Theut and Chief Rosso
said they had received number
of complaints from parents
against the sale of liquor to their
under-age children.
1T is perhaps easy for q bar
tender to mistake a youths age"
Rosso stated, ''but in many in
stances the bartender has been
entirely to blame. Numerous
youths and girls have been sold
intoxicants by bartenders who
know them personally and have
no doubt that they are under age.
