Nations Medics

CHICAGO. Ill.-During the week
Of August 1S to %, the Windy
Citv's famous Southside will be
host to the 47th annual meeting Of
the National Medical Association
and three affiliated bodies: The
National Hospital Association, The
National Insurance Medical Elk
aminers Association, and the Won
ans Auxiliary of the NINA.
The three associated oEganiza-
tons will hold separate meetings
and will join with the NINA IN
several combined sessions. The an
nual convention of doctors, which
this year is held in conjunction
with the 50th anniversary celebra-
tion of Provident Hospital, is d.
vided into four district sessions &C
cording to specific interests of the
men who will attend, as pointed out
by the secretary. Dr. John 7
Givens, Norfolk. Va.
These sections are: medical
surgical, public health, and phar-
maceutical. Doctors will find that
each section is so organized that
they will not conflict with the
five general joint sessions which
are arranged for the purpose OF
welcoming visitors and attending
to convention business. The spe-
ical sections are purely professional
while general affairs will be con-
sidered in joint business meetings.
The sessions of the National
Hospital Association get underway
one day earlier than do the other
meetings. This group opens on
Sunday, August II. at DuSable
High School, headquarters for the
Chicago Convention. The insurance
examiners will confer on Monday
and Tuesday. The NINA and its
Woman's Auxiliary will meet from
Monday through Friday.
The welcome meeting for all
those attending the four joint con-
ventions is to be held at DuSable
High School on Tuesday evening,
August 10 and the general clos
ing meeting which will conclude
the five day convention is set for
Friday afternoon at l:30 p. m.

Of classif ing public school teach

purpose Of reducing the inequalit-

by the board Of education and was

teachers salaries and t326.e80 10
Negroes a total of $1,021,6 $40.
Under the plan no salary in

The state legislature, on adjourn

CHICAGO CAMP Olivet
Baptist Church in Chicago will live
again. Reconstruction of the ia
nous DELICIOUS edifice, long one of
the landmarks among Negro Bap-
fists in America, is rapidly nearing
completion.
The church had been almost de-
stroyed by the devastating fire
which broke out last November 6,
just as its mourning congregation
was assembling for the funeral of
it's pastor, the late DR.. l.. K. Will
liams, president of the National
Baptist Convention, who had been
tragically killed in an airplane ac-
cident a fe wdays before. Today,
different picture appears.
A group of exper Negro artisans,
working under a colored contract
ing firm has not only replaced de-
stroyed portion of the structure but
has beautified and modernized the
interior and restored the exterior
until the Gothic steepled cathedral
once more lifts its spires proudly
skyward.
Starting Immediately after DR.
Williams death, the congregation
met in call meeting and decided
to rebuild. Elected as their guide
in the effort was the Rev. Joseph
H. Branham, for % years the CO.
worker and close confidante OF
DR.. Williams.
Worship was temporarily car
ried on in Wendell Phillips high
school auditorium. DR.. Branham
reports that lin the six months fol-
lowing the fire, the people of DIV
ct raised more than $4,000"
With the task of restoration al
most complete and the mounting
work being more than one man
could bear, Rev. Branham told the
