KENTUCKY TO Be FIRST IN
EQUAL EDUCATION FIGHT

LEXINGTON, KY, Nov. 26
(ANP)-The Negroes all-out at
tack to crack Dixie's unequal Jim
crow educational system is expect
ed to begin in this state.
That prediction was made here
last week by DR.. w. D. Funkhouser,
dean of the graduate school at the
University of Kentucky, in a re-
port to the university faculty on
graduate work in Negro institu-
tions in the south. A dramatic ap-
peal was made on Oct. II by DR..
R. B. Atwood of Kentucky State
college at Frankfort, before legis-
lative council to admit Negro stu
dents to state-supported colleges
for professional and graduate
courses, not available at Negro
schools of higher learning.
DR.. Funkhouser included in his
report a series of meetings this
summer in Durham for the states
of North Carolina, Maryland, Vir-
ginia and the District of Column
bia when Negro educators pictured
by facts and figures the unequal
Jim crow educational system in the
south.
Kentucky is border state and
is one Of the first in which Negroes
will make an attempt to secure ad-
mission to white institutions, he
said. There is not question but that
test cases may be expected in the
very near future and | cannot see
now any court can do anything
other than follow the supreme
courts ruling in the Gaines case"
He reported that one librarian at
a Negro college testified that less
than 25,000 titles were in the school
library. No college can be expected

Sgt. Joseph F. Albright of the Vet
Grams administration, who repre-
sented Gen. Omar N. Bradley a
the observance, and the Rev. G
Dewey Robinson, pastor of Camp
bell and former chaplain.
Col. Johnson delivered a prac
tical international address whicl
touched on many problems of vita
interest to veterans. He urged tn,
veterans to take advantage of thu
educational opportunities Offered
under the CT Bill of Rights. Sale
he, "The government is willing tt
spend up to S1,1O0 a year for the
education of each man and woman
who served in this war. That would
amount to over a billion dollars a
year for Negroes alone-more
money than has been available for
the education of all Negroes since
the Civil war"
The colonel emphasized the i'm
portance of vocational training,
pointing out that in our rapidly
changing technology, it will be nec-
essary for men to have such train
ing five, or 10 years from now in
order to get or hold a job.
Turning to loans and govern
m n t insurance, Col. Johnson
warned the veterans against drop
ping their insurance and against
hasty decisions in obtaining loan
under the CT bill. He said that
many servicemen may never again
be able to get insurance at rates
and in amounts equivalent to the
government insurance they now
hold and, therefore, should hang on
20 it.
AS for loans, the colonel said that
every servicemen entitled to aid
lnder the CT bill was assured of
1T least one turn for a guaranteed
oan up to $4,000. He urged veter-
ms not to waste their turn by get
ing a loan for some trivial or un-
planned purpose. "Take your time,
wait until you're sure of what you
want to do-build home-go into
buy a farm before u.s.
ng up your turn" he said.
Also, Col. Johnson said, "Save
your unemployment compensation
privilege in reserve until you have
to use it. If you can get job now,
20 ahead and take it; and at some
ater time when you cannot get a
Job, then apply for your unemploy-
nent compensation under the CT
oill."
The colonel cast a pail of sadness
over the audience when he pointed
put that many colored youth called
lp by selective service in the south
could not read or write, had never
seen a piano, or a telephone, had
never handled money and didn't

even know the difference between
a nickle and a dime. However, the
colonel said that the armed services
had done a marvellous job of equip
ping many of the near illiterate
men with the equivalent of fourth
grade education in a period of 13
weeks.
He pointed out that this illus
trates how rapidly men can learn if
given the proper opportunity. Also,
he said that the men have learned
about democracy. "It is our chal-
lenge," the colonel said, "to speed
up the processes of democray here
in America in this atomic age"

Despite her apparent frivolity
and youthful ~exuberance, the film
points out that the teen-age girl has
a serious side. The climax of the
film shows this side, and reveals
that she well realizes her future

read it. 1t is swell to see the
names of the kids who have made
it home from the prison camps and
other places no doubt as bad.
1t looks like this thing we're in
is moving a little faster, and as
soon as we get some more help
from the ones who have already
fought a var in Europe the whole
thing will be much faster.
The Japs seem to be much diff
ferent from other people; they are
so fanatic that one wonders how
they have stood as much as they
have. The B-29s have knocked them
cut of most of their key cities such
as Tokyo, Kobe, Osaka, Yokahoma,
Nogoya and many others. Surely
some day they will fold up; they
must be able to see the handwriting
on the wall by now.
Since l last wrote l have come
back to my old job, operating a

Ny friends, it's time to do it
again, go to bed. Say, this is the
life-eat, sleep, work and look at
the Pacific and dream about that
place they call u. S. A. After all
it does become a bit tiresome after

THREATENS TO Law
NEIGHBOR FOR HARBORING
HIS WIFE

John P. Mullins, good citizen
of the Top of Cumberland, near
Birch Knob, was in Monday to
make arrangements to get the
paper. His radio had run down
and the long winter evenings
were proving a bit longer than
usual when he COULD not get the
news.
A neighbor who on occasions
resided in buttons Notch, a few
miles away. had threatened to
law John, and he, being law
abiding citizen, was somewhat
worried. This neighbor, when he
worked at all or had any money,
was given to wasting his sub
stance on strong drink, leaving
his wife, children and hound dog
to shift for themselves. When the
rations were scarce, as was often
the case, the good woman would
take off around the mountain
and stay at the Mullins home
until conditions at home might
be improved. This state of affairs
had irked the neighbor until he
had threatened to law John P
on charge of harboring his wife.
However, Mullins was of the
opinion that this business of a
law against ''harboring" was
something put out by the Game
Department applying to the dog
only, and that nothing would
come of it if the case got into
court.

Rural Citizens
Asked to Aid In
Road Repairing

Due to the unusually hard
winter this year, much damage
has been done to all highways in
this section of the state, and the
FEehway Department has issued
a..> peal to all citizens to lend
a hand in the emergency. Be-
cause of the manpower shortage
the highway department finds it
self seriously handicapped by
the lack of men to keep the roads
in repair and calls on every cit
zen for aid. Below in part, we
publish the statement:
"Past experience has taught us
that major damage to highways
may be expected during and fol-
lowing a winter such as we are
now having In additions to the
hazards of travel created by
snow and sleet, material damage
is being done to the foundations
and surfaces of all highways. The
results of such a winter will be
more apparents when freezing
temperatures are no longer reach
ed and the ground thaws out. At
such a time there will be break
ups on many roads, particularly
the light surfaced type, such as
soil, gravely, sand. etc.
Because of the war emergency
the Highway Department finds
itself seriously handicapped by
the lack of manpower to meet
this situation. Every effort will
be made by the department to
maintain all the more important
roads, but if the less important
roads are to receive prompt at
tention it will be absolutely nee
cessary to call on every available
man for help. Field officials of
the department. district and resi-
dent engineers are being instruct
to circulate this information to
the fullest extent to rural citizens
of the state, and wherever pos
sible, to enlist their aid. These
men are instructed to pay the
prevailing highway rates for la
Dor, equipment and material and
to authorize action by rural citi-
zens whenever the necessity for
prompt action arises. While the
foregoing refers to the necessity
for help to repair damage. the
same need for help will exist in
all cases where severe snow
storms or other emergencies ar
Use.
Cali rural citizens are request
ed and urged to give careful con
sideration to the calls which will
be made on them for this type
of assistance and to cooperate as
fully as possible f'sh NJ No
