discrimination in public institutions
of the State. I shall be glad to
send copies of these acts to any
person concerned. All I ask is your
cooperation, and 1 will not stop

fact that the colored people of At

fight for equal rights.
42nd Annual Convention
Outstanding
The And annual convention of
the Elks was bigger than ever,
with the Little Giant" J. Finley
Wilson, exerting his dynamic pow
er over the entire session. The ed
ucatiOnal department of the Elks
challenges the fraternal and civic
organizations of the world today
in it's youth program, the Organi-
cation has graduated more than
200 girls and boys, 31,217 high
school graduates have been trained
for and taken part in the orator.
cal contests, III have received
scholarships from the Elks' educa-
tiOnal department. Through these
contests the Negro youth has been
trained in the American COnstitu-
ton and his rights contained with
in it's provisions.
We visited Indianapolis, Ind,
with it's $4,000 Negroes, and dis
covered not only an optimistic pop
ulation, but an intelligent political
group that is making possible a
new deal in forgetting strategy.
For instance, one ward has some
$4,000 Negroes in it. In one pre-
cinct of that ward 40 jobs had been
secured the past few months
through a political technique that
is admirable. The Democratic ma
chine is in control. F. B. Ransom,
president of the Medam Walker
Co., is the Negro councilman, hav-
ing received more than $4,000 votes
with only $4,000 of them colored.
The Indiana Negro seems to be set
ting a standard in the matter of
industry and is becoming more mil
liant in the fight for civil liberties.
Our visit to Kansas City, Mo-,
and other smaller towns in Missouri
indicate the same trend of better
living conditions reflected through
the defense program and other
agencies offering the Negro a new
deal.

Atlantic City Negro in Favorable
Position
We attended the big I. B. P. o..
E. W. (Elks) convention that
brought more than 1000 delegates
in addition to 10000 visitors. The
conduct of the delegates and visi-
tors was so outstanding that the
daily newspaper (White) editorial
ly commended the high standard
this convention set in comparison
with the innumerable white con-
ventions that come to Atlantic
City regularly.
The 10000 Negroes that live in
Atlantic City are favored by the
democratic attitude of the officials
of the city. For example, Mayor
Thomas Taggart, Jr., demonstrated
on several occasions his belief in
the democratic way.
In welcoming the Elks to the
city, he said, "There is no room
in our American way of living for
the dispensing notes of hatred, en-
Wy, fear or class antagOnism. We
want to be Americans, and to be
men and women with dignity, honor
and glory"
]. B. Dart, white president of
the Atlantic City Board of Trade,
admonished the Negro not to for
get the economic side of life, and
advised the members to go home
and patronize Negro business. He
emphasized the habit of our people
in patronizing the other groups in
preference to our own. DR.. w. B..
Wright, white secretary of the At
lantic City Board of Trade, also
spoke at the Elks' economic con-
gress. He said, "No race of serv-
ants can expect to get recognition. /"
He, too, urged stronger support of
Negro business.
State Senator Frank s. Farley,
of the New Jersey legislature, and
whose district comprises the large
Negro district, including Atlantic
City, addressed the Grand Lodge
and said in part, "YOu are to be
praised for the commendable con-
duct and orderly fashion of your
parade" He said further, ''It was
my pleasure to introduce several
civil rights bills to the New Jersey
Legislature No. 1. Civil Rights Act
was the first bill where merit, not
color, counts. No. 2 a bill to pen
alize employers for not employing
Negroes when vacancies occur.
You are entitled to justice. No. 3,

Shipping, Govt.
Inspection To
Be Arranged

An important meeting of Durant
farmers interested in growing truck
crops will be held Saturday after
noon at the City Hall at $3.50 o'clock.
This meeting is being held for the
purpose of perfecting an organiza-
ton to ship beans in carload lots and
to make arrangements for securing
government inspection of these ship
ments so as to secure best prices
possible.
All farmers are urged to come and
encourage their neighbors to inves-
tigate the possibilities of truck crops
for this area.
1t has been pointed out that pro-
gressive farmers in the Durant ter
ritory are making an average of $50
per acre on beans which is equival-
ent to a bale of cotton per acre at
II cents.
In addition to the bean crop the
same ground can be used for a late
corn crop which will be good for
feed. 1t costs only about SIS per
acre for beans and fertilizer and
the profits in cash returns range
from S55 to as high as SIS.
