Cleveland Boy
Wins Art Prize;
Loses to JimcrO

NEW YORK - When young
James W. Anderson, Of Cleveland
Ohio, was informed that he haC
won second prize in the 18th an
nual national high school compe
tition Of drawings and painting,
conducted by the Kansas City Ar
Institute and School Of Design, HI
had TO pinch himself. II seemed
almost too good to be true.
The prize he had won was half,
year scholarship to the art insti,
tute. Jim's dream Of becoming ar
artist seemed about to be realized
Subsequent letters from the In.
stitute's registrar indicated thai
all arrangements were being made
for his admission, and Jim was con.
graduated and feted by his friends
and family.
A month later, Jim received
a letter from the manager Of the
( institute telling him that the
school had just learned he was a
Negro and would therefore be
unable to accept him as a student
In view Of the fact that Missouri
was a border state with strong
southern tendencies"
Jim decided to write the school
and ask for the cash equivalent Of
the half-year scholarship, SO that he
could try 10 get the training he
desired at some less prejudiced
school. He was informed that this
was impossible, as scholarships
were never given in cash in view
of the fact that all scholarship
awards made through the competi-
ton were donated by Kansas City
business firms, which carefully
watched the progress Of the stu
dents assigned to their scholarship
and took a personal interest in the
progress of their work at the In
stitute. Obviously, stated the in
stitute's executive manager, IL the
student is not actually in school,
nothing under the schools regula-
tons and procedure authorized
them to award money for the pay
ment Of tuition at another school.
Anderson wrote to the NAACP
requesting that il intervene in
his behalf. On Aug. "a, As
sistant Special Counsel Robert
L. Carter, wrote to the art insti-
tute's director, reviewing the Sc
quenee Of events which had taken
place between Anderson and the
school and concluding, ut is our
impression that by June 81,
il was too late a date for you
TO refuse Mr.. Anderson his schOl-
arship which you had already
awarded contingent upon his &C.
ceptanee." Mr.. Carter requested
that the NAACP be informed of
the schools plans with reference
to James Anderson so that he
could be advised as TO how to pro-
coed.
Anderson received a letter from
the school, informing him that the
authorities had agreed to make a
special dispensation in his case and
awarding him the money equival-
ent Of the half year scholarship on
the condition that it be used to
enter some other school Of art.
A check for $112.50 was enclosed.
James Anderson wrote the MA
ACP a letter Of thanks for its as
sistance in obtaining for him the
prize which he had won through
his own merit. He plans TO use
this money to enter another art
school.

that complexion and that hairdo
will carry you just 50 far but no
farther. Right now is the time TO
stop and take inventory Of your
self.
Are you ready for this new ad-
venturel Now, don't let this fright
en- you. It's just to make sure that
YOU get off on the right foot to
begin with. It's much easier TO be-
gin on the right path and continue
that way than il Is 10 start of on
the wrong path and have TO begin
all over again.
College is really just school and
you've been going 10 school for
quite some years now. Certainly,
you have studied before, you have
had dates and belonged 10 clubs
but there Is a difference. The diff
ference will be that everything win
seem bigger and more important,
You will be doing about the same
things as before but they win be
on a larger scale.
College won't be a song and Q
dance. No. II will be hard work
but there win be lots Of fun, too
However, there must be some or,
ganization in this scheme Of work
and play so that neither ereeps onto
the others territory. Naturally
you want to be a well rounded
individual, so you must plan a vel
rounded schedule. The saying "All
work and no play makes Jill &
dull girl" works the other way, too
The consensus Is that the two
most difficult years Of your college
career are your freshman and your
senior years. In the freshman year
you are making many adjustments
and In the senior year you are
striving at last to obtain the goal
for which you made those adjust
ments.

Charged With Illicit
Meat Killing

r. w. Fountain, proprietor OF tht
New Way Grocery and Meat Mar
ket. Castle Hayne, will face charges
of Illicit meat slaughterins, toner
row morning in Recorders eour'
here.
Fountain was arrested and his
establishment, found lacking proper
cleanlsness. was closed until such
time "as 1t could be cleaned"
w. G. Haas, city-oounty board OF
Health inspector, who made the an
nouncement, visited the establish
ment Saturday morning, and was
ACCOMPANIED by L. I. LaSsiter. and
Troy C. Hodges, both Health De-
partment employees.
The investigators said that Foun-
tain had a carcass of beef and
other cuts, in his market when an
inspection tour was made several
days ago.
Under state law enacted in
1887. 1t became mandatory that all
stores. markets and abbattoirs, be
subject of inspections by health de-
partment officials to insure that
sanitation regulations are observed.
During the war the abattior
phase of the program was not push
ed because, "of shortages OF ma
terials needed to build and main
tain them
However, during recent months,
government agencies have ordered
that all meat slaughtered, be pro-
cessed in an abbattoir, and stamp
ed with the concerns stamp, ac-
cording to Haas.
He said that the move was design
ed to curtail "black market" oper-
ations as well as to insure cleanll-
ness. He further said that all
slaughterers and meat dealers in
the county have been told by the
Board of Health, and that proper
steps to enforce the 1887 law, had
been made.
An abattoir was recently con-
structed by o. c. Moore. Castle
Hayne, at which place all meat kill
ed in the county was ordered
slaughtered until such time as ad-
ditional facilities could be furnish
ed
The charge faced by Fountain is
a misdemeanor, Haas said, and
carries a fine of $50 and 30-day
sentence.
Two slaughtering houses are now
being constructed in Brunswick
county, and will soon be available
to New Hanover county slaughter
ers, it was learned.

Jury Finds Negro Guilty
OF Draft Board CHARGES

The wheels Of justice sometimes
grind peculiar grist.
There was only one trial by jury
yesterday In the opening session
of the criminal docket Of the
spring term Of Federal court here
and it revolved about the tattered
figure Of Ulysses Currie.
Ulysses Currie is a 40-year-old
Negro itinerant farm laborer from
Fairrnont.
On Justice Scales
His hair wildly askew, his slight,
stopped figure draped miscellane-
ously in ragged denim, Ulysses
shuffled out Of the prisoners dock
and seated himself attorneyless. on
the scales Of justice.
To answer the charge that he
had failed to comply with the
Selective Service regulations Of his
draft board"
VanisheS
An official Of the board testified
that Ulysses registered for the draft
in October, 1910, and then drop
ped out Of sight"
I'VE continued sending him
selective service FORMS" the Off
cial said, 'but he never responded
to them"
Among these forms was the one
which said: THE President Of the
United States to Ulysses Currier:
Greetings"
Salutation Unheeded
Ulysses did not return the saluta-
ton.
Placed on the stand by Judge
Don Gillian, Ulysses said, II don't
know nothing about all them kind
Of things"
Judge Gillian turned the matter
over to the jury, which was COM
posed of II white men and one
Negro.
Guilty Verdict
After a 10-minute deliberation,
the jury returned with verdict OF
guilty.
Judge Gillian registered more
concern over the verdict than did
Ulysses, who, in fact, registered no
concern whatsoever.
II don't know what to do right
now," the Judge murmured. He
shook his head and put off sentence
until today's session.
Namesake Recalled
Maybe Ulysses was thinking OF
what his namesake said after his
eight-year storm-tossed voyage fol-
lowing the siege of Troy in ancient
times:
made weak by time and fate,
but strong in will $
TO- strive, to seek, to find' and
