Hull Says Draft
Problem Crucial

prove extension of service for army
men, there would be an exceed
ingly bad psychological effect on
the American position in the~inter-
national situation.
Military extension legislation is
pending in the house, following SEN
ate approval of an 18-month extern
sion. Some house leaders have been
fearful that the legislation would
not pass in that chamber.
HullS comment on the legisla-
ton was made at press confer
ence. He stressed that not only
would the psychological effect of
congressional failure to act be bad,
but it would have a serious effect
on the actual situation.
He apparently referred to the
possibility that a defeat for the
would seriously im-
pair its prestige abroad and act to
encourage possible further acts of
aggreSSion-now held in check to
some extent By the existence of
growing U. S. armed forces.
Hull was asked whether he be-
lieved that the people of the nation
were not fully aware of the gravity
of the situation. He said it was
that at which his comment was
and that he did think such
constituted what is
the matter with the country.
To fully cover the situation, he
said, he would have to make
stump speech. He said he would be
glad to put his views into writing,
but they already have been written
many times and have been summar-
lied fully in his statement of posi-
ton last January when he support
ed passage of the lease-lend bill.

FORMER JOCKEY IS ONE OF THE
leading Meat SPECIALISTS

methods being used by Williams.
While preservation Of meats
is his job and his contribution to
national defense, his hobby is the
tanning of fine leather. So eX-
cellent is his leather-craft that he
is called to Tuskegee yearly to
teach classes. He is said to be the
only Negro in America capable
Of teaching this fine art.
In speaking Of the work with
colored farm families, he said to
this reporter: There is usually one
well trained man in half the
communities to work with. He is
capable Of doing this work well.
They are responsible in no small
way for the scope Of this work.
The Negroes contribution to ma
tional defense will be, through
development Of cured meats, to
breed type Of hogs Of a definite
weight which will more nearly
supply the demand Of packers.
Packers demand a hog in a weight
range of IT'S to 225 pounds. They
need not be pure bred hogs but
should be well bred"
When asked what was the diff
ference in packing house meat
ana home cured, he replied: "The
meat cured at home is slow cur
ed, giving it a chance to dry out,
thus making a more solid piece
Of meat. The gravy from such
a ham is rich red and tasty. Pack
ing house meat is usually less
solid, the grease from the fats
being Watery. Connoiseurs of
meats enjoy the taste Of farm
cured hams and bacons."
Young looking, short, energetic,
he is an interchangeable worker,
is an interesting talker, knows
meats as perhaps no other man in
the country does. He has been
a judge Of meats in all sections of
the state, judging meats in the
shows which are held often.

Preparations for Easter, at home
and at the club, must have been
rather strenuous for the boys a
round 1852. Too much 50 it seems.
For last week they were con
spicuous by their absence.
The Approximations Juniors stole
the show completely and they
/ threaten to keep the spot light,
if the program mapped out by
the sponsor, Bob Hardin, mate
rializes.
The juniors rounded out their
first year Of existence by whip
ping the Wilson Packing COM

Provident Hospital. trophy. Team
members: Harry Davis, captain;
Leo Blackburn, James Lawrence,
Henry Washington, David Scott,
Charles Hoffman, Ferdinand Bar
nett, and Robert Hardin, Jr Nick
Brooks, coach.
Saturday, April 10, really was
the browning event Of the junior
organization. They gave a dance
at the beautiful Parkway Ball
room. Everybody was there and
to put it in the vernacular Of the
younger set, the hepcats and the
alligators really were in the
groove.
But the dance, according to
Sponsor r. H. Hardin, is just the
beginning of an extensive pro-
gram. They have mapped a num-
Der of activities both social and
civic, notices Of which will be
given from time to time as they
come up. One of which is a ia
Their and son dinner to be given
III the very near future.
Some Of the seniors had better
remove those handkerchiefs from
their heads or else the public will
forget that there is a senior mem
bership.
Although the male content at
/ 1892 had been rather dormant, the
ladies have not. The auxiliary
had a bridge party that was very
successful There were twenty
three tables of bridge and five
tables Of whist. Also there were
4 score or more who did not play,
but merely lent their moral sup
port to the occasion Cor financial
If you wish.) Needless to say the
affair went over big. Just what
the gals intend to do with the
proceeds is a secret Of their own.
Not content with putting the
Juniors in the lime light, Bob
Hardin has marshalled his enter
tainment committee and they are
going to give a smoker May 8.
Everyone who has ever attended
a smoker knows just what fun
IS in store So start getting your

one week to think up good one.
