On I||iteracy
Planned for D. {.

Washington, D. C.-Delegates
appointed by Governors of four
teen states, including college pres
idents, editors, high school prin-
cipals, teachers, community and
organization leaders and just
plain citizens, are included among
the more than 500 persons who
will attend a three-day confer
ence on functional illiteracy to be
held here at the Metropolitan Bap-
list Church, January 20. 80, 81,
1913.
The conference is sponsored by
the Education Department of the
Improved, Benevolent and Protec-
tive Order of Elks of the World.
Il represents the first time in the
history Of American fraternal life
that fraternal Order has tackled
the problem of illiteracy among
Colored people on national
scale.
According to the conference di
rector, Judge William c. Hueston,
Elk Commissioner of Education,
the conference will be a work
shop meeting from which will
be launched national commun-
ity elias room program for teach
ing thousands of adults how to
read, and write, according to the
Army Educational training plan
used in the war.
Our aim is not TO try to teach
basic English to the entire color
ed population, he said. in ex
planning the plan, but to provide
six week course in as many
communities as we can reach dur
ing the next six months, which
will enable large numbers OF our
people to conduct their eiyday
affairs more efficiently.
I'VE hope that this step will
stimulate nationwide interest
by the United States government:
and all citizens for the passage
of Federal Aid to Education oils
now before Congress.
Principal speaker at the con-
ference will be Dr. Horace Mann
Bond, president of Lincoln Uni.
versity, Pennsylvania,
Among the college presidents

Whites, Negroes Eat
Together At Cancer
Barbecue In Georgia
Thankful

LA GRANGE. Ga. - Thankful
for their miraculous escape from
death, fifty white persons sat
down to eat with eleven NEroes
in Georgia recently in one of the
strangest feasts on record. The
affair was a barbecue on the
grounds of the City County Hos
pital Cancer Clinic at La Grange,
given by the hospital authorities
in honor of those it had cured of
cancer since its establishment
eleven years ago.
The story is told in the March
issue of Coronet magazine by
Odom Tanning. Invitations were
sent to 172 of these ex-patients by
DR.. Enoch Galloway, Director of
the Clinic and Chairman of the Di-
vision Executive Committee for
the State Division of the American
Cancer Committee. He at first
harbored doubts that the party
would be a success. Each of the
invited guests were five-toten
wear cancer cures from his Clinic.
DR.. Galloway credits the Filed
Army of the American Cancer
Society with the educational work
that brought many of the 172
survivors into his Clinic.
The sixty-one healthy-looking
guests, all apparently cured, frol-
licked and chatted on the lawn and
exchanged experiences, until time
for the feast. Long tables were
laden with the succulent barbecue
for which the County is famous.
One late arrival was forty-year-
old Jim who drove a truck for the
nearby cotton mill. He was ar
hour late because he had driver
10 miles to Atlanta to pick up &
load of machinery for the cottor
mill.
After his plate was heaped will
barbecue and bread, DR.. Galloway
introduced him. "You wouldn't be
lieve this man has only half Z
stomach" he said. Then he tolt
how he had removed the other hall
in an operation six years before.
"When my stomach started t.
hurt me-" the truck driver said

Nobody in my family had ever hat
cancer. SO I never dreamed
would get it. When the ulcers fin
ally got so painful couldn't stant
it any longer, I came to the no
pital. The doctors told me / hat

At 1:30 P. NJ, the whistle blew
at the cotton mills and the guests
