we're given a few tips on this

The meeting was attended by

Unused enough at the organiza-
tons program to join up. Mr.. Nc
Clendon, president, outlined the
detectives of the EJOC. The EJOC
is essentially a fact finding COM
mittee. 1t accumulates statistics on
employment Of Negroes in local
industries with the view of break
ing down the employment barriers
that exist. The program is SINH
liar to that of Dubois and his At
lanta university studies. There he
accumulated facts on Negro his
tory, on their achievements in
Africa and Europe as we'll as
America. He thought that by show
ing the world what the black man
has accomplished, it would give
him equal recognition. The paral-
lei was drawn to emphasize that
an attack on discrimination must
be made from all sides.
The EJOC is a 1audable organ
ization with an admirable goal. 1t
has an ambitious program to ac-
complish in the coming months,
and there is no good reason why
the entire community should not
get behind these people and help
them succeed in this endeavor to
crack the seams of discrimination
in employment.
The EJOC is strictly a volunteer
organization; there are no paid
members. 1t is run by a conscien-

the pioneer period and opportun-

almost come to an end. Now, with
churches we'll established in all
sections of our country, greater
emphasis must be given to the

"While we cannot evangelize the
world by writing or reading books
and tracts on the subject; yet an
incentive and methodology must
be given and used in addition to
the zeal of the person and the
help of the Holy Spirit.
"The book attempts to move
for the actual, practical needs as
progressively forward with plans
they are today, which demands
that we bestir ourselves and fight
against the great evils which sur
round us. We stand in need of a
new reaffirmation of the spirit

After 46 Years, Champion
U. S. Money Burner Refires

WASHINGTON. - The man re-
sponsible for burning more money
than anybody in history Is quitting
it for good.
He is Benton c. Gardner, retir-
ing after long service as chief of
the treasury's currency redemption
division.
For As years, his job has in
volved sending to the incinerator
paper money in such bad shape it
had to be replaced with new bills.
During that time, he has sent so
many billions up in smoke no COM
plete tally is available.
But last year alone, 1t must have
amounted to more than five billion
dollars. That's how much fresh
money the treasury's printing and
engraving bureau turned out to
keep the supply in good shape.
AS II you didn't know before, it's
easier to get rid of money than it
Is to make it.
The government keeps a couple
or so thousand employees busy turn
ing out fresh cash. 1t keeps one
a man named Edgar Gary Jr.-to
shovel the old stuff into the fire.

Bssksspsrs Honor Inventor
Who Devised Simple Hive

GREENFIELD, MASS. - One
hundred years ago a Congrega-
tional minister with a sweet tooth
invented a 'bee space"
Now b~eekeepers throughout the
nation have erected a plaque in
his memory.
The inventor was the Rev. Loren
20 L. Langstroth, who devised a
hive, shaped like a box, from
which racks Of honey could be re-
moved and empty ones substituted
without disturbing the bees.
Until his invention in 1848, 1t was
almost impossible to remove honey
filed combs without dismantling
the hive and destroying the bees.
The National Federation Of Bee
keepers associations says the
simple invention made commercial
production Of honey possible.

Travelling Zoo
Brinns Animals
To All Children

CLEVELAND.-"Hey ma. guess
what. l just petted a skunkl" In
most places that admission would
cause anything from inflated nos
trils to screams of horror, but in
Cleveland, mother just says. "Oh.
that's nice. The travelling zoo is
around again."
The travelling zoe is one Of three
mobile entertainment units that
cruise the city's streets. They bring
a museum, a vaudeville show and
a zoo to people who otherwise
might never see the real thing.
The oldest of the three, the travel
ing zoo, first took to the road in
1912. The recreation division of the
board Of education, realizing that
the park zoe is inaccessible to many
people, decided to bring a capsule
sized animal collection to the peo-
pies doors.
They built a gay little jeep-pulled
trailer with bright colored animals
painted on it. 1t is equipped with
cages for about a dozen small and
relatively tame animals. A SEIZED
ule Of stops at Fairgrounds and
parks was arranged. The sponsors
fixed up a public address system,
and got a lecturer to talk about the
specimens. The ZOO makes four
stops a day, five days a week. Dur
ing its season. 100, 900 people see it.
Youngsters Hear Talks
The crowd Of youngsters. literally
sprinkled with adults. hears a As
minute talk, consisting Of stories
and facts about the animals.
Then some Of the exhibits are
brought into a roped of "petting
pen," where the youngsters are al
lowed to play with them. The zoo
now is carrying an opossum, rae
coon, duck, horned owl, skunk, goat,
bantam rooster, armadillo, fox,
hawk, rabbit, monkey and some
OF this crew, the fox has become
the show trooper. He is a great
ham, thriving on attention. He sits
up and practically mugs" at the
throngs Of excited children who
crowd around him.
The ~Showagon, another travelling |
init, played to its first audience In
1914. Also unique in this city, it gives
i've evening shows a week to an
average crowd Of 5000. During its
season, $50, 900 people flock around
he brightly painted truck, which
pens up to an 18-foot-square stage.
Local Talent !
The talent is recruited through a
cries Of additions, held in the city's
luge public auditorium. Most of the
cts-singers, dancers, mimics, ma
~teen-agers, although
here is no age limit. They serve
'ithout pay, but r eager to hitch
heir star to the Showagon. Many
the acts have gone on to profess |
ional careers
After the vaudeville show, the
is roped off and the band
on for street dancing. A Sho- (
'agon visit is a high spot in every
e1ghborhood, and the idea has
cen borrowed this year in Denver,

LOS ANGELES, Jan. Is
Americas Ben Hogan, cant un-
derstand" the criticism of his
brother golf professionals which
emanated from England the
other day and he can't let the
barbs pass without reply.
Little Ben, visiting here be-
tween tournament engagements,
said he read with extreme sur
prise, to say the least, comments
by one Henry Longhurst. promi-
nent in British golf circles and
close friend of British Pro Henry
Cotton, whom, it was said, he was
quoting indirectly.
Cotton leo the British team to
America in the Ryder Cup
matches at Portland, Oreg.. last
fall. He was the nonplaying cap

that American pros violated the

golf balls in exchange for dirty
ones by caddies. that they ex-
changed notes on clubs on va
rious shots and that they ''have
abandoned the basic rules OF golf,
and with them, the spirit Of the
game"
Hogan packaged the charges
in one answer. He said there was
no foundation for any of them.
To one crack that Yankee pros
would be disqualified several
times per tournament If they
were playing in England" Hogan
retorted that he never heard Of
