O'BanyOun's
Observations

O'BANYON'S OPERATIONS
The regular, monthly meeting of
the S. Coleridge-Taylor, Musical As
SOC, was held in 558 Mass. Ave, Sun
day, December %, and, in spite Of
tn eHohday season, there was a
goodly crowd in attendance. Ernest
O'Banyoun was the sponsor of the
program and acted as Master Of
Ceremonies. After the customary
rreliminaries, all present united in the
singing Of several traditional carols,
and that part of the program went big.
Then, Margaret E. Foster, contralto,
and Vivian H. Leonard, soprano,
rendered two selections each, and did
they make a hit. James w. Hender-
son followed through with brilliant
and scientific talk which must have
opened the eyes of some of us. After
this, the retiring President, installed
John H. Powell, Program Chairman,
Clara B. Christian, Vice-President,
and Ella NJ Martin President for the
coming year. Immediately upon her
installation, the new President in
stalled the retiring as President Emer-
titus; so there was a grand time all
abound. Better get the habit Of at
tending those fourth Sunday meetings,
as they are getting more interesting
every month.

DR.. Raper, a social science research
er in the Departments Bureau of Ag-
ricultural Economics, told the farmers
at Tuskegee's 5sth Annual Farmers
Conference on December II that hand
labor on cotton farms in the South
cannot compete with machine-made
machines.
He pointed out that mcdaniel cot
ton production would displace four out
Of every five of those now needed on
one-mule hand-picked cotton farms. 1t
is thought that this estimate indicates
a reduction OF colored cotton farmers
from the current level of over half a
million to about 100000 with, of
course, a corresponding decrease in
colored farm population in the Cot
ton Belt.
In his address, DR. Raper suggested
the need for stepped up educational
program in the South to help better
equip displaced farm people for the
more highly specialized industrial jobs
in .the cities.

Highway Commissioner G h rleS
Ziegler has postponed bids for 1948
road contracts due to uncertainty
of labor and material costs in 1916.
Construction costs are up 20 to 60
per cent over l94l. Contractors say
labor is hard, If not impossible, TO
obtain, ard they blame $40 per week
unemployment benefit. A sur
vey by the state aeronautics COM
mission shows the average Michigan
airport to be overcrowded. Needed:
Bigger airports! The National
ST. Lawrence Association, publicized

say.
Housing Note: Behind that state
wide housing shortage, prevalent
everywhere, small towns and big
towns, are these facts: The nation S
population has increased due to
wartime boom in marriages and
births. BY 1850 it is estimated there
will be ten million more mouths to

wages are inflated outrageously
