Job-seeking Negroes have been, and
are being denied jobs because they
are Negroes. Not only is this unfair
but it is damaging to the nations

United States and such a Committee
was set up by President Franklin d.
Roosevelt. This Committee has been
useful in hundreds of cities. The Fair

acting in unison to create better

work for the common good of common
people everywhere, whether they are
farmers, or workers, or small business
men, or professional people or whom
they are so that in the community, in
the state and in the world we can
have plenty and peace and brother

Farmers Union a rare opportunity. We
are the one farm organization which
at least has attempted to have policy
of character, which has not been
afraid to stand up and fight for what
it considered right, and which has
not been afraid of being called names
or being abused but has gone ahead
and fought the peoples fight.

RUSSIANS CLAIM CURE
FOR CANCER

Great news for all mankind: An
other long step in the successful
treatment of cancer is claimed for
Russian scientists in a statement re-
leased this week by the Soviet en-
bassy
The method consists of transplant
ing cancer tissue, the theory being
that this sets up an immunity that
oYercomes the disease.
Officials of the Public Health Serv-
ice said they know of no experiments
similar to those described by the
Soviet bulletin but added: eff the
Russians have something new, we'd
like to know about it.
Meanwhile, physicians at the Uni
versity of California Hospital reported
that the use of radioactive phosphorus
product of the demonstrating CYCLIC
iron, has been big help in diagnos-
ing breast cancer.
No curative virtue is claimed, but
the physicians said that it will enable
them to detect cancer in time to at
tack the tumor in cher ways, including
surgery.

Eighty Wilmington families face
a grey, cherries Christmas morn

come to their aid today.
Miss Peggy Moore, chairman of
the Christmas Bureau, revealed
last night that this number remain
unprovided for in the city and urg-
ed that interested parties accept
the responsibility for bringing a
note of cheer into the lives of one
or more of the families.
Mrs. Buleah Britain, who is con-
nected with Associated Charities,
said last night that the organization
had taken care of a good many
cases but some still remained on
the list.
Miss Moore also cited Mrs. Louise
S. Bland, executive secretary of
the Social Service Index, for her
aid in assisting the Christmas
Bureau.
Persons who are interested in
providing aid for any of the fami-
lies have been asked to bring toys
and food donations to Associated
Charities, the office of which is
located in the basement Of the New

Last night it was reported that
gifts of food and toys should be
turned in to the Associated Chari-
ties office in the basement of the
New Hanover county courthouse to-
day. All donations will be distri-
buted in time to see that u Joy
on Christmas day will be shared in
a small measure with those who
are much les fortunate.
Wilmington's generous response
to the Sebrell family which lost
their home and furnishings last
week is proof enough that the Port
City has a heart of gold. And I'M
