RLCoRN RECEIVES
SCHOLARSHIPS

ALCORN A. g. M. COLLEGE,
Miss.-In a letter dated May 81
addressed to Pres. VIM. H. Bell
by Mr.. ]. c Haynes, Southern
P u b lie Relations Department,
Sears Roebuck and Company, At
lanta, Georgia. Mr.. Haynes among
others, made the following state
ment:
"We want to offer you for the
school year of 194l-42 a fund to
cover the granting of eight S 10000
agricultural scholarships to b e
given to Negro farm boys who will
select to receive this help, the boys
to be selected during the next few
months"
The idea in making these schol-
arships available is to provide a
lift over the hill for few out
standing farm boys who could not
otherwise go to college, but selec-
til should not necessarily be
limited to farm boys enrolled in
the All Club and the N. F. A. or
CARNATIONS as fine as thev re.
The scholar hips will be given
onlr to entering fresh pen who
| qualify for them
