Campbell Is
Training Center
For Veterans

Campbell College opened this
year on the End of September for
it's 57th consecutive year of OPP
Grafton with an added feature to
it's educational program, that of
Vocational training for World
War II Veterans, New Buildings
have been erected for this pur-
pose, one for Automotive mechan-
les and one for radio mechanics
Courses will also be offered in
small Business Organization and
management. Veterans may enroll
in these courses under the CT
Bill of Rights. All requirements
have been met with reference to
instructor and equipment, those of
the state being the minimum.
Thus Campbell College becomes
the first Negro church school in
the state of Mississippi to adopt
a vocational program for the
training of veterans. 1t has gained
this distinction because of the
foresightedness of its councillor,
Bishop S. L. Greene, who saw
this opportunity of rendering a
larger service to his race, state,
and nation, and made no delay
in Selling upon it.
Veterans of World War II, re-
CARELESS of their scholastic attain
ment, are Urged to contact Dean
Vernon o. White at the College
Immediately, while there are still
some vacancies left. The govern
ment pays all expenses and no vet
eran should deny himself or her
self of this opportunity of a life
time to improve his efficiency
and thereby insure his economic
security in the coming years. AL
though Campbell College is locat-
ed in Mississippi, veterans from
other states will also be accepted
The complete renovation and
reconditioning of the old build
ing and the erection of a new adj
ministration building are we'll I'M
derway At the Presiding Elders
Council, which was held in con-
nection wit hthe opening of the
school and is composed of 80 pre-
siding Elders from the states of
Mississippi and Louisiana, Bishop
Greene announced plans by which |
$4,000 would be raised toward |
the completion of this building |
program during the fall series of |
Annual Conferences which will be-
gin on October 23rd.
The Presiding Elders Council !
adopted resolution petitioning
the General Conference which |
meets in Los Angeles, California |
in May, 1913, for the return of /.
Bishop Greene to the Eighth Epis-
copal District embracing the
states of Mississippi and Louisi-
ana for another four years be-
cause of the wonderful works
he has accomplished during his
administration and in order that
he may be able to carry out to a
successful completion the noble
work begun.

Bus Line Charged
With Contempt Of
Supreme Court
ISSUES ORDER IN VIOLA
TION OF RECENT DECISION

Washington, d. C. - (NNPA) J.
AS the result of a recent series OF
complaints of segregated seating
in bus travel between the District
of Columbia and Virginia, the 10
cal branch of the National Associ
, alton for the Advancement of Col
| ored People intends to ask that
contempt proceedings be brought
against the Richmond Greyhound
Bus Lines it was learned.
Chief basis for the request for
citation for contempt is set of
written regulations issued by the
company to it's bus drivers, au-
thorizing them to violate the re-
cent decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States out
having Jim-Crow in interstate
travel.
Mr.. and Mrs. Levi Howard of
Long Beach, Calf, on August 20
made affidavits in which they
charged that on August Is, while
travelling from Norfolk, Va, to
Washington on the Richmond
Greyhound Lines, they were or
dered by the bus driver. to move
from their seats and to ocrupy
seats in the rear of the bus.
When they refused to do so,
the driver informed them of the
company's new regulation direct
ing its drivers to seat white pas
sengers from the front and color
ed passengers from the rear of
the bus. The driver showed Mr..
and Mrs. Howard a copy of the
regulations.
When they still refused to move
to the rear seat, the driver stop
ped his bus in Portsmouth, Va,
while two policemen boarded the
bus and ordered the Towards to
move to the rear. According to
Mrs. Towards affidavit, one of
the policemen remarked to her,
Look, Pm from Georgia. If you
don't move, Ill pull you off the
bus and stomp you. That's the
way we do 'em in Georgia"
Another complaint filed with the
NAAP September by a veteran,
Vincent Samuels, of Washington,
charges that on Labor Day the
driver of the Richmond Grey
hound Bus ordered him and his
small daughter, Theresa, to a seat
in the rear of the bus, and sh9W-
ed as his authority for taking ills
action, the company's written REG
ulations. ~
Mr.. Samuels, who has recently
been discharged from the service
after twelve months duty over
seas, carefully noted the contents
of the regulation and promptly re-
ported the matter to the NAACP,
along with the names and address
ses of several witnesses to the in
cident
Mr.. Samules was travelling with
his family from Warsaw, Va, to
Washington. Upon receipt of his
complaint through Leon A. Ran
som, chairman of the legal COM
mittee, the branch contracted the
bus company relative to it's ac-
ton. Mr.. Ransom gave the COM
pany twelve hours in which to
clear up the matter.
When no word was received
from the company at the expira-
ton of this time, the NAACP i'm
mediately began an investigation
of the possibility of bringing orig
inal proceedings for contempt a.
gainst the bus company in the
United States Supreme Court or
any other appropriate court. 1t
is expected that legal action Will
be instituted within the next ten
days.
This move will not preclude
the individuals concerned from
bringing suits for damages.

FRAISH STREET SATURDAY

FRAISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT:
A lot of people have been talking
about the interest or lack of IN
terest of Negro veterans In the
educational opportunities now being
offered them and most folks think
that the great majority the vetts
lust amt interested. Fact is, that
most of the vets want to do, but
don't exactly know what to do. l
had that dawn on me with great
deal more force, Saturday night, as
[ was rather leisurely INDUCING
my favorite Saturday nights Re-
past of fist and beer, having not
vet invited nor attracted the atten-
tioin of my usual Saturday night
crowd. One fellow, avet, came up
and asked could he talk to me at
another time about an important
matter, which l insisted be brought
up then and there. He started by
saying that he wanted to go to
school to learn a trade but every
where he went around here, or
everywhere he had been all that he
could hear about in the training
for vets was radio and auto mech
anics. Well, he says, like and
most folks know, there is no press
ing and wide spread demand for
auto mechanics, which is what they
seem to be putting the emphasis
on for Negro vets, here abouts.
The fellow said that he didn't
know but he would ike to do some
thing else but ne didn't know what
that was. So 1 suggested some
things and he said that he would
like to be bricklayer. Now they
need bricklayers everywhere, and
/ imagine that Unefe Is ioI VI
vets who would like to learn that.
Now they have a vets training
program out at Campbell College
The director said, out there, the
other day, that they would train
veterans in anything they want
to learn, only that enough vets
would have to apply for training
before new course could be added.
[ don't know how many it will
take. but it seems to me that the
vets could get together and work
up, say ten fellows, that wanted
to take the course and go out there
and see if they can get it put on,
and fact is | believe it can be done.

Leg Lotion

II leg lotion leaves smudges on the
hem of your dress. it's probably BE-
cause you don't allow the lotion to
dry thoroughly, or because you fail
to rub your skin until the powdery

Will Build House Here OF Native
Stone AS Lumber Shortage Pinches

A house of native stone will be
built this summer by H. w. Berky,
Bluffton college instructor, it was
learned the first of the week as ex-
cavation for the structure was be-
gun.
Stone, plentiful in the Bluffton
area, will be used for exterior walls
and wherever possible as a substi-
tute for building lumber which is
difficult to obtain. The stone will
include limestone from the local
quarry and other stone from the
surrounding area.
The new structure consisting of
two stories will face South Spring
street and is at the rear of the
residence now occupied by the Berky
family which they sold to Bluffton
college. The college will convert
the residence into a dormitory for
girls at the opening of school next
fall.

Abundance OF Food And Cloth
ing Are In Contrast To
English Shortages
Blufft0n Man Meets War Bride
In New York; Couple Ar
rives Here Monday

Bluffton greeted is second British
war bride when Mrs. Charles Hank
ish, Jr., arrived here Monday with
her husband who met her in New
York city last Thursday where she
debarked from the liner Erickson
after transatlantic voyage from
England. She is the former Louise
Hart of Tetbury, Worcestershire.
The charming English bride of the
Bluffton ex-service man says she
already feels at home in America
but has not yet become accustomed
to the relative abundance of every
thing in comparison to Britain's re-
stricted postwar economy.
In England there still is insuffi-
cient food and clothing to fill the
demand, in marked contrast to condi-
tions in the United States, she said.
Bananas and oranges are available
for the first since the outbreak of
war, and food generally is short.
Strict rationing still prevails, and
the English must cut corners to
make their ration stamps reach. If
you get enough of one item, such as
shoes, for example, you have to do
without something else, such as
dresses, she pointed out.
Mrs. Hankish lived in Tetbury, a
small town about 100 miles south of
London, and altho the village was
near the Channel there was no bomb
damage. Her husband was stationed
with American forces about 80 miles
from her home when they met
They were married in Tetbury
last November 8. Hankish later was
stationed in Germany, then returned
to this country last January after
80 months service overseas.
The young couple will make their
home in the Hankish apartment over
the Allen County Coop Farm Bu-
reau store on South Main street.
Buttons first English war bride,
Mrs.. Harry J. Shrider, arrived here
more than a month ago.

Summer Harvest Season Opens
With First Cutting Of Alfalfa
Hay May Equal Last Years
Record Yield; Feed Crops
Will Be Good
Prospects For Wheat, Oats and
Potatoes Are Good AS Rain
Aids Crops

Alfalfa harvest was started this
week in the Bluffton district with
good yield in prospect, the first
tangible return in a summer which
finds the early-June crop outlook
fully as favorable as that of last
year when bumper harvests were
the rule.
Leading off with alfalfa cutting,
hay prospects generally are as good
as in 1945 when one of the largest
crops in years was harvested. Red
clover and mixed hay also give every
indication of bumper yield later
in June, and timothy cutting, which
comes in July, should be equally as
good.
WHEAT, OATS, POTATOES PROMISING
Wheat, already we'll headed and
betokening an early harvest, is grow
ing rank in lowlands, and portion
of the crop is down because of the
heavy straw. Oats likewise looks
promising, and potatoes are expected
to be materially better than last
year.
Pastures which virtually dried up
during the April drought have re-
vived, and prospects are good for
milk production continuing on a
high level.
Virtually all vestiges of the un-
seasonably dry weather of early
spring have been erased by Mays
cool wet weather, and the month was
unusually Favorable for wheat, oats,
potatoes and grass.
Soy BEAN ACREAGE
Late corn planting was delayed
somewhat by Mays almost contin-
ual rainfall, but most farmers got
much of it done before the rains
set in and others finished seeding of
the crop during the last week. Any
acreage remaining implanted likely
will be diverted to soy beans, which
can be planted as late as the middle
of June.
From present prospects it is fairly
evident that feed for livestock will
be plentiful in the Bluffton district
for the coming year, even though it
is too early to determine what the
corn outlook may be.

NICKEL PLATE
RESTORES THRU
TRAIN SERVICE
Cleveland-St. Louis Trains
Resume Former Schedules
On Monday
Buttons Mail Service Disrupt
ed During Strike, Back
To Normal

Nickel Plate fiiers operating thru
Bluffton twice daily resumed opera
tions on Monday of this week, bring
ing a restoration of normal mail
service to the town after a month of
curtailment.
Both trains resumed their runs
Monday evening, leaving the termin-
al cities of Cleveland and st. Louis.
Trains ran in both directions thru
Bluffton on Tuesday, arriving here
at 6:02 a. m. bound for Cleveland,
and 9:16 p. m. enrouts to ST. louis.
Buttons mail delivery service
was generally disrupted during the
three weeks period the two trains
were discontinued because of ODT
restrictions on rail traffic as a re-
suit of the coal strike.
With the resumption of normal
rail service, the two local trains
that ran between Fostoria and Pc
oria, ILL.,, will be discontinued so
far as Bluffton and other points to
Fostoria are concerned.
These trains in the future will
run on their normal schedule be-
tween Lima and Peoria. Their runs
were extended north to Fostoria only
during the period of emergency be-
cause of discontinuance of the thru
trains.
