The gigantic task Of making sim

been assigned to Mrs. Vinetta
Thompson, assistant in intercultural
education to DR.. Regina C. M.
Burke, associate superintendent of
elementary schools. Mrs. Thompson
is stationed at Public School No.

demned areas of Kings county.
With her work ranging all the
way from dealing with working
mothers, apathetic teachers, under
privileged children, bigoted bullies,
counteracting biased text books and
anti-democratic propaganda, Mrs.
Thompson explained that the neigh
borhood where her school is located
is loosely oganized.
"Most of the people are not even
aware of the public facilities open
to them," she said. "Many come
from the south where they were not
welcomed in the schools and other
public places"
However, she discovered that
racial friction is not the principal
problem at P. S. three. There are

demanding of the War Production
board that George Streator, Negro

NAACP is reported to have been
successful in getting him back east
as far as Chicago. However, shortly
after that he returned, and is now
in Portland, Ore.
The Seattle resolution says that
while there Streator called a meet

they considered "inimical to the es-
tablished pattern of friendly rela-
tionship now existing between the
