The LAW And
OLD-ACE BENEFITS

l.. L. Hegland, administrator OF
King County's Welfare Department
has Issued the following statement
on the work of his office in rela'
tion to benefits going to elderly
persons:
I'VE often hear elderly felix's
talking of their Old Age Pensions
THE question is raised az II,
whether they mean pension or As
sistance grant.
"a pension is definde as "A Ger.
tain sum paid regularly by a gov
eminent, employer, or corporation,
In return for past services A
grant is defined as something
given or conferred
"a Senior Citizen Grant is right
ly named as it is given only to
those persons who are in need and
meet the eligibility requirements
as set by law. 1t is not given in re-
turn for past services.
at is the purpose of public vel
fare to give assistance to persons
in need in accordance with the
law. The Federal Government sets
up certain requirements which the
State must adhere to in order to
be eligible for federal matching
funds. At the present time, the
Federal government will match
two-thirds of the first SIS AID half
of the balance up to s45 For ex
ample, If and individual neels
totaled As dollars, the Federal
government would furnish $25 f it.
"The basic idea benin the Old
Age Assistance program is to as
sumo an adequate standard of liv-
ing for all elderly people of the
community who arc in need. Match
ling funds pro yided by The Federal
Social Security Board are in part
to encourage all of the States to
adopt adequate standards and to
insure all senior citizens through
tout the nation econorilc security.
'1n contrast With the Senior Cit
izen Grants, the Federal Old Age
and Survivors Insurance prcgram
is essentially pension program
which is uniformly applied through
out the United States. Payments
to pensioner are in proportion
to his earnings over a. period OF
years. This is a pension because
the individual ware earner, as well
as employer, has contributed
the fund, and it is paid III return
for services rendered. 1t was the
thinking of those who set up the
Old Age and Survi sors Insurance
that it would in tine supplant
necessity for Semi )r Citizer s
Grants. told Age Ass.s' .nce).
"The State of WASHINGTON has
continually paid average grants to
Senior Citizens comparable to the
highest paid in the nation. This
means that the needs 81 Our Sen.
ior Citizens have been reasonably
well met. 1t is QUE hope that
these needs may continue to be
adequately met"

The Red and the Black


tibet when a graduate of Xavier
University marries. he takes his
entire wedding party to call on
the University's president. No
Xavier wedding is quite complete
without the blessing of Mother
Agatha Ryan.
In her eO-odd years, Mother
Agatha has let her blessing fall
on thousands all over the U. s.
For most of them 1t has been a
rare experience, for the skins of
Mother Agatha's children are red
or black. The university she runs
is the only Catholic university
for Negroes In the U. s. She is
also director of rs grammar and
high schools-all for Negroes or
Indians.
Journey into squallor
Her work began In Philadelphia,
when she was "about 49," 1t was
then that she heard of a wealthy
lady who had founded a new
Catholic order. Katherine Drexel,
daughter of Morgan partner, had
been troubled by the squallor of
Indian life she had seen on a
trip through the West. In Rome
later, she begged Pope Leo XIII
to do something about 1t. why
don't you become a missionary
yourself?" the Pope replied. Kath-
arine Drexel did, and gathered to-
gether in the Sisters OF the Bless
ed Sacrament a group of women
who devoted their lives to teach
ing Indians and Negroes. Among
them was Agatha Ryan.
Mother Agatha, jolly little lady
with twinkling blue eyes, was sent
west to settle among the Navahos.
Under her, st. Michaels school so
flourished that she was picked to
run the first Catholic mission
among the Winnebago Indians.
Finally, in 1882, she went to Xa-
vier.
Over the years, Xavier has
grown from a high school to a
university-rated Glass A by the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools-"a good
school, even If l do say So" It's
enrolment has climbed from At
to LOO. Bit by bit, the sisters
have added to 1t a graduate
school of arts and science, a col
lege of pharmacy, a school of edu-
cation, a school of social service.
Courses include everything from
Greek to journalism.
Scholars among Saloons
Xavier's II buildingc stand sur
rounded by lumberyards. saloons,
and a dog pound. Protected from
these, on the tree-shaded campus,
Mother Agatha spends her days.
Last week, carpenters and clean
ers were getting the campus ready
for fall. But Mother Agatha had
other matters on her mind. The
order was building a new Navajo
school, and she had gone to the
orders headquarters outside Phil
adelphia to check up on the far
flung school system she presided
over.
For a life of work, Mother
Agatha gives herself little credit.
But she has her satisfaction. She
can't help being pleased when her
alumni come back ('they seem
to love to bring their children
to see me"). 1t is not out of
vanity, she insists, that she care
fully concels her age. Says she:
"If I told it, they might try to
retire me-"

NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE CONFERS
IN CONFEDERATE CAPITAL
BY Alvin (. White

RIcOMoND amp - The old
Capital Of the Confederacy" put
on its best front last week tc
entertain and educate the delega
ties of the National Urban League
Annual Conference, Sept. to 10
Meeting In the south for the
first time in many years, the
Urban league carried a direct
challenge to the area where its
work is most needed. stressing
as the conference theme Race
Relations. the Essential Spark OF
Liberalism"
Registration at the conference
headquarters. Virginia Union uni
versity, showed a representative
group Of liberal minded persons
of both races. At the opening ses-
sion, Monday morning, the groups
got right into the spirit of the
conference and when the chairman
called he meeting to order, there
were few vacancies in the capa-
cious hall.
Notables participating in the
opening mass meeting Monday
night at historic Ebenezer Baptist
church includes Horace II. Ed
wards. Richmond mayor; Oliver
w. Hill. Negro member of the
city council; Eugene Kinckle
Jones, general secretary of the
National Urban League and one
of its founders; DR.. Charles H.
Wesley. president College Of Edu'
cation and Industrial art. Wilber-
force, and Edgar Ray. managing
editor Tampa Daily Times.
Lloyd X. Garrison, president of
the National Urban league, was
chairman for this meeting.
In the course of his address,
Mr.. Ray declared that mo paint
l might use here can hide the
ugly facts of Negro life in the
south. No paint one living out
side the south might use can hide
the ugly facts of Negro life out
side of the south. I, as Floridan,
believe that racial relations as
practiced by the Urban league can
spark liberalism. In Florida race
relations have been more impor-
tant than racial hatred"
Continuing his speech, Mr.. Ray
pointed out that regional schools
were the solution of the south's
educational problems, both white
and Negro. This must be, he said,
because the south is not rich
enough to maintain expensive gra-
duate schools as individuals.
Arnold Walker, president of the
executive secretaries council and
executive secretary of the Cleve-
land Urban league, discussed the
organization with emphasis on pro
gramming services and profession
al leadership. He listed the impor-
tant jobs tn enational office was

The CHALLENGE

we are living IN epic times.
We are challenged by the men.
ace of Communism.
We are facing an enemy which
is pervert and a sneak.
We are combating a murderous
foe-spawned In hell.
It feeds on misery.
It breeds on treachery.
We spent billions to stem the
tide or surrender to Communism
in Europe and tolerate its con.
spiracy at our very doors.
He is blind indeed
Who can regard with complac-
ency the trend of events.
Who can fail to be stirred by
the threat to America inherent in
the character of Communism.
The manner of dealing with
this alien poison holds much OF
the veal or woe for the future
of our Republic.
The choice of Democracy versus
Communism is not of the future,
but of the present.
Democracy and dictatorship rep
resent two antithetical systems OF
belief and government.
The Communists teach might
makes right.
The Americans teach that jus.
tice and equality alone make
right.
They teach that war is a bio
logical necessity of first import
ance.
We teach that war is a relic of
the Dark Ages
And that disputes among ma
lions, as well as among men, shall
be settled by arbitration and not
by force.
They teach that power and con-
quest constitute the highest moral
law.
1t is our proud boast that we
have never entered upon war
of conquest.
They stand for war of conquest
and for the rule of the despot.
We stand for justice for free
dom, for peace, for humanity, for
civilization and for human liberty.
This is Gods country,
Situated between the seas,
Ordained to work out the divine
Purposes of HIS creations.
On this ideal our institutions
have been raised.
Out of it has sprung our cher
ished liberties.
We have given the world great
fundamental truths in self-govern-
ment.
We have given the world an
ideal of liberty which underlies
the whole fabric of civilization.
We have taught the world that
the quest of this ideal is the ONE
QUEST worthy of human beings.
We possess a noble Inheritance
bought by the blood and sacrifice
of our forefathers.
It's structure has been erected
by brave and wise men.
It's foundation is solid.
1t has been reared for immort-
ality.
1t can be destroyed by the folly
or ignorance of its keepers-the
people.
If this generation does its duty
the cause of freedom is safe.
If this generation fails-not only
do we defraud our children OF the
inheritance we received from our
forefathers, but blast the hopes
of the friends of liberty through.
out the world, to the end of time
The Ark of the Covenant of Am
erican institutions is in our keep
ing.
America accepts the challenge
of the monsters of Moscow.
We will stamp out Communism
and Communists.
We will keep America for Am
orleans.
We will protect our God-blessed
country.
We will protect our American
way of life.

BeaIl Calls Federal
Highway Aid Unfair

MaryIand's $4,264OOO federal al
lotment for highways in which Gar
rett county and its incorporated COM
munities share, has been termed Sin
adequate" by Rep. J. Glenn Beall, who
claims the nationwide system of dis
tribution is wholly unfair"
States with small areas but large
populations, Of which Maryland is
one, are not receiving a just allotment
of federal funds for primary, second
airy and urban highways, Beall says.
He pointed out that Maryland's
highways are among the most heavi-
ly travelled in the country because of
the proximity to the nations capital,
but that the state was among that
third of the 48 states receiving less
than SIS million in federal highway
aid.
Beall is a member Of the sub COM
mittee Of the House Roads committee
and said he was waging a fight in
Congress to have federal highway
funds allotted on the basis Of regis
tered motor vehicle license tags and
population rather than on area as is
now being done.
