at services early this spring. The Rt.
Rev. A. B. Kinsolving, Episcopal
Bishop of the Missionary District of
Arizona, is expected to be here to

more than a year on this reredos,
and considers it the best thing she

CIOnaI learned yesterday.
Amount paid by the CalifornianS
was not made public but is said to
have been a big sum, running well up
into the six figures.
Including forest, the ranch con-
sists of approximately 10000 acres.
The deal also included 800 head of
cattle. The Californians will take
possession as soon as the transfer
is completed.
The new owners are immensely
wealthy and according to reports
they will do a lot of building and
improving of the property. Addi-
ton of such large investment COM
pany to local ranching circles is a
big boost for the county.
Mr.. Bowman bought the ranch in
July 1945 from Mrs. Josie Mcpherson
of Patagonia, widow of the late
Clyde Mcpherson, who owned the
property for about 35 years.
The well known Nogales business
man, himself, did lot of improving
during the year and half he owned
the ranch, and it is known as one
of the best and most up to date in
Santa Cruz County.
The ranch deal was one of the
most important consummated in
this county in many months.

Reverend Father John Doran
Dear Father:
With regret this column and its
three readers-that's my missus,
and I-have heard that you are
about to leave Nogales. We know
that we share the feeling of every
one in this swell little town. We are
all sincerely sorry to see you leave,
especially all the young lads, because
you have done so much for them in
your inspirational work-which real
ly hasn't been work for you.
We know that your transfer to
Tucson is a recognition of your fine
regime here What is our loss-and
we are big enough to take its
Tucson's gain. Father, guys like you
always have been a help in lifting
the morale of a neighborhood or
parish, no matter what denomina-
tion it may be.
You are much younger but you
sure remind me of good old Father
Mulcahy in my neighborhood when
7 was a kid. You know, my Uncle
Malachi used to indulge in tea
onlv it wasn't tea-and one day good
old Father Mulcahy saw him teeter-
ing out of the neighborhood saloon.
He sez, Malachi, me boy, don t
you think you are giving yourself
the worst of it by being plastered
nearly every day? Why not give
your constitution rest?"
Uncle Malachi replied, Father,
YOU touch me heart. From today
on I am on the wagon-I am now
a teetotaler.
Two days later Father Mulcahy
saw my Uncle Malachi coming out
of the same saloon about three
sheets under the wind, and he sez,
Malachi, it's not criticizing you I
am, but didn't you tell me just two
days ago that you were teetotaler?'
MY Uncle Malachi sez, eyes, Fa-
ther, 1 am teetotaler, but I am not
a bigoted one
And so we say guy would have
to be awfully bigoted if he wasn't
sorry to see you leave.
Best regards,
MARTY.

Betferinq Our Negro Colleges

Recently Howard University of Washington, D. c..
became the first Negro institution of higher learning to
be granted chapter of Sigma XII, national honorary or
ganization for outstanding achievement in the field OF
science Until the present installation of Sigma M at
Howard, national honorary organizations such as sigma
XII Phi Beta Kappa Pi Kappa Lambda Order of the Coli
and Sigma have been doubtful of the quality OF work
done by students at Negro Institutions This doubt has
largely been based upon the apparent lower standards IN
various within the colleges the nadequacy of the
teaching stas and the lack of equipment and teaching
facilities.
But Howard evidently had all of the answers Her
distinguished faculty is literally crowded with PhDs
Such welltrained personnel Doctors Raines, Calder
Johnson Cooper, Mckinney, Daniel, Booker, Thompson
and Morris would be welcomed by any university in the
country were not the color of their skin Her scen
tc laboratories have been welequpped by the Federal
Government and compare favoraby with those of most
colleges and universities of similar size Finally her
academic requirements for advanced study and higher
degrees from the beginning have been carefully planned
in order to make certain Howards MA degrees would
match those offered at other American universities So
careful Howards graduate school curriculum de-
sgners that many Bison graduates after obtaining the
BS B.A. degrees thought it better from financial
standpoint at least to forsake their Alma Mater if they
preferred procuring masters degrees in less time than
Howards minimum attendance regulation of two years
above the bachelors degree.
This honor bestowed upon Howard must be accepted
challenge for other Negro Institutions Our Negro
colleges should seek to elevate their standards to such
heights that not only accreditg associations but honor
organizations will not be reluctant about giving them
their stamps of approval.
