previous such occasions, in that the
class and it's co-sponsors used let
tiers or testimonials and pictures
of outstanding alumni and former
students of the school to evaluate
the school program in terms of a
dult-life achievement. A sampling
was made of graduates according
to sections wherein they resided,
and the vocations in which they
endeavored and testimonials and
pictures came from graduates as
far back as 1926. Also pictures
were used with an opaque project

The co-sponsors of this class
were Miss Frances Lucille Dungy,

NEGRO PROBLEM MOST
ACUTE
DR.. Brown called the Negro
problem the most acute and diff
cult to solve because of deep
seated prejudices, and pointed on,
that it has become the Nations
problem as well as that of the
South.
"It's dangerous for one region
or section to say we are doing SO
much better than you are in solv-
ing group tensions" she asserted,
while at the same time ignoring
the problems on their own door
STEP"
Fer example, she said that "cer-
tain cities and regions of the coun-
try are far more interested in what
happens in Tennessee groups than
in solving their own group tension
problems"
DR.. Brown said that the North
should find it far easier to remove
discriminating troubles than the
South because it had no definite
laws of segregation; whereas seq
regation in some parts of the
South is a law.
To end prejudices and racial
tensions, she advocated Starting
where you are first as an individ-
ual, then at community and State
levels.
"If we can do anything about
group tensions in the South, you
ought to be able to eliminate them
anywhere" she explained. "And
we are making real progress there.
cone of he most significant
movements in the South is the re-
cent policy of putting Negroes on
the police force" she rontinued.
"In October. 1947, Al cities in 10
Southern States were using Ne
groes on the police force. This has
had a very favorable effect in re-
ducing Juvenile delinquency and
crime"
DR.. Brown cited discrepancies of
school opportunities for whites in
the North and South. She called
upon the AAUW presidents to con-
slider the matter when requesting
Federal Aid to Education.

ers gathered with US for our regu-
lar fish and beer session up on the
north end of the stroll, and after
we cooled off bit the conversa-
ton swung around to something
important enough for US to tell
abou it. One of the brothers said
that his boy had just finished
high school and was gettin gready
/ for college in the fall at one of the
nicer schools in the section. He
went on to say that he told his boy
that he could study to be anything
he wanted to when he got there
providing he didn't decide to be a
preacher or a teacher. Now most
of the brothers that was listening
to this fellow talk jumped right on
him when he said that and asked
him just what was wrong with be-
ing apreacher or a teacher. Well.
the brother what had made the
statement said that he didn't
reckon as how there was anything
exactly wrong with preachers and
teachers, but he said that he had
watched Aunt Haggar's Chillun for
a long time, especially them that
went to school for any length of
time; and he said that nearly all OF
them came out preachers or teach
ers, nd maybe a few doctors. He
said that what he would like to see
was a whole lot of Lawyers, civil
Engineers, Scientists, Construc-
tors, Accountants, Laboratory
Techicians, Journalists, Composers
Architects, Surveyors, Aviators,
and good hard common sense bust
ness men and women. When the
brother finished this discourse he
poured another beer and locked
around for comments from us that
was gathered there. But all we
could was to nod our heads and say

Abiding to bat not mentioning
by name the current racial mem
bership issue between the Wash
ington branch and the national
board of the AAUW, DR.. Blanding
asserted, Il felt tremendous
satisfaction that one phase of this
problem of group tension has been
faced by the AAUW board, which
has put itself on record as be-
lieving that these who meet stand
ards of this organization are en-
titled to membership whether they
be white, black or yellow"
The national association and the
District AAUW Chapter are en-
gagged in a controversy over men,
bership rules. 1t started over the
local groups refusal to admit
Negro college graduate.
Referring to group tensions in
general, DR.. Blanding said that no
one could close their eyes to the
tensions in this country, that 80 to
40 newspaper stories on the subject
could be noted daily. She cited
The Washington Post as one paper
pointing out group tensions.
TENSIONS BRING ON WAR
DR.. Blanding said "We're facing
a third World War because of in
sufficient progress in the elimina-
ton of racial and group tensions.
Group tensions, however, are not
peculiar to this country but can
be found around the world. She
attributed the tensions to clefts
and cleavages stemming from
people of different origins, and
economic inequalities.
Segregation of races constitutes
a real danger both here and
abroad" she said. "The whole
world is watching US. AS they see
us practicing determinations they
wonder what we mean by dem
ocracy."
"They see US treating Chinese
and Japanese in ways which no
American would be treated in their
countries" she continued. "The
future of this Nation and the rest
of the world depends upon how
well we can demonstrate that our
moral and social democratic atti-
tudes are impregnable."

country, according to the Vassar
president, are 10 million Negroes;

Summer is not the best
time to make certain types Of
candy, because of the heat
and the humidity. For exam
pie, incorrect room tempera-
lures and too much humidity
may cause chocolates to be
gray or streaked. Caramels
and hard candies absorb
moisture from the air and are
likely to get sticky. Bonbons,
the fondant-coated candies,
are good summer items (see
cover since there is no choco-
late coating to worry about.
but their appearance depends
largely on the skill of the
maker which. Of course,
comes only with experience.
There are numerous candies
which the amateur can make
successfully, however, If she
will observe a few simple rules.
A candy thermometer is
practically a must" in max
ing all kinds of candy. It
takes considerable experience
to use the home tests for
judging the "doneness" of
candy, such as dropping a
small amount in cold water or
waiting until the sirup spins a
thread. With a candy ther-
