African Student Wins Scholarship

Okechukwu Ikejiani, 25 year old student from Nigeria, is the first African to receive scholarship to complete his education here under a new plan sponsored by the Afri- can Academy of Arts and Research, which has national headquarters at 55 West 42nd St. (NYC).
 MT. Ikejiani will receive sums totaling $2,50o through the Aca- demy's scholarship plan to aid out standing African students. This will enable him to continue his studies for two years at Toronto University, where he is working to complete his course for his MD degree.
 The African Academy is cur renlty conducting a drive for s25,OOO for building which will be a cultural center for African and African-American students, and to provide scholarships as well as to carry on it's many activities.
 The initial contributions to the Academy's scholarship fund were made by the New York Alumni Associates of Methodist Schools, which voted to give $1,OO0; and by MT. Mbonu Ojike, Executive Di- rector of the African Academy, whop ledged $500 in royalties from his book, "My Africa" for Ikejiani's education.
 In signing over his royalties, MT. Ojike said: "Mr. Ikejiani has maintained an unbroken record of scholastic attainments. He will be one of the few Africans to quail fy as a laboratory technician as we'll as a Doctor of Medicine. Moth ing shall deter bhe completion of his education"
 Miss Beatrice Clark, President of the New York Alumni Associates of Methodist Schools, declared that this was the first year her organ ization had appropriated sum of money for a worthy student. "lt is only fitting" she said, "that the funds should be presented through the African Academy's scholarship plan, which fills great need of our people,"
 The New York Alumni Asso- ciates of Methodist and Accredited Schools was founded January 19- 35, by Bishop Lirenzo H. King, waho was at that time the minis ter of the St. Marks Methodist Church, New York City. The pur- pose of this organization is to raise funds to be used as scholar ship aid.
 The presentation of the initial installment of $500 towards MT. Ikejiani's education was made by Miss Lucy Hamilton, recording secretary of the New York Alum nj Associates of Methodist Schools to Dr. Akiki Nyabongo, Director of the Dept. of Education and Gull tural Exchange for the African Academy, at a reception held re- gently at the Mt. Calvary Metho- dist Church, 140th Street and l Edgecombe Avenue, New York City.
 MT. Ikejiani came to this coun- try in 1889 to study at Lincoln University. He then attended the University of Wisconsin, and ob- tained his BA degree with highest honors from the New Brunswick University in Canada. In 1943 he | obtained his Masters degree al the University of Michigan. Con- tinuing his education at the Uni versity of Toronto, he obtained his Dnctorate in Science.

Immigration of Indians Backed

Washington, D. C.-The NAACP announced it's support of legisla- tion to lift immigration bars so as to admit into the United States natives of India, and allow them to become eligible for American citi- zenship. The bill, HR-3517, author izes an annual quota of 100 per sons of the East Indian race be admitted into this country. It passed the House last October 'but has been tied up in the Senate Committee on Immigration be- cause of the opposition of the committees chairman, Richard B. Russell, O., Ga.).

Ohio Is Marketing
Better Apple Crop

Harvest of OhiO'S 1946 apple crop
is about completed, and F. H.
Beach, specialist in horticulture,
Ohio State University, says the crop
will total about 2,835,000 bushels,
which would be about three bushels
for everyone produced in Ohio or
chards in 1945.
Ohio apple prospects did not seem
promising after late spring froStS
severely damaged bloom in impor-
tant producing sections, but or
chards in favorable locations re-
ceived less frost injury. Dry weather
in late summer reduced the size of
apples in Ohio orchards and may
have made the fruit less ColOrful.
Mr.. Beach says apple fans will be
offered attractive packages of their
favorite fruit during National Apple
Week, October 26-November 2.
Apple Day is set for October 81,
which also is Halloween so the ira
ditional fruit for Halloween parties
will be on displays in all stores.
The University specialist i'll hortl-
culture declares grandma's maxim
about the health value of apples has
been proven by modern scientists.
Mcintosh, Delicious, Jonathan, COL
cen Delicious, and Winesap apples
contain twice as much Vitamin A
as is provided by oranges, and the
Stayman apples equal oranges In
vitamin A value.
Mr.. Beach also recommends
apples as a source of an acid that
neutralizes toxins that might devel-
ope within the body. Another food
value obtained from apples is pee
tin, which aids in naturalization and
also helps digestion.
Ohio does not produce enough
apples to supply demands OF ONO
citizens, but the national 1947 crop
will be about 116,OOO,OOO bushels so
Ohio markets will be we'll supplied
throughout the year. Northwestern
states, Michigan, Virginia, West Vlr--
ginia, and Pennsylvania have good
apple crops this year.
