ern and border states were adj
vised by legal council today that
the best interest of Negroes as
well as the country dictated that
they should oppose race segrega-
tion in education.
The presidents announced that
their group would become more
active in opposing such a policy
and hailed as thein spiritual
spokesman, DR.. Oliver Dwight
Holmes, retired President of Nor
gan State College of Baltimore.
He said that things had changed
in fifty years, and that education
al leaders could now say openly
that "no intelligent Negro can a
gree with segregation"
DR.. John w. Davis, president
of the West Virginia State Col
lege for Negroes, Institute, w. Va,
said that it was for the reason
of letting the public know where
that the president had invited to
the conference Thurgood Marshall,
special council for the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People.
DR.. Davis asserted that this is
no time for pussy-footing. We are
are going to put our cards on the
table and they all read the same
thing, "no segregation.

senting the "evidence" of wide
spread discrimination were these
members of the faculty of the
Howard University Law School.
Herbert o. Reid, James M. Nab
rit, Jr., and George M. Johnson.
The lawyers said that Federal
grants for public education in the
South We're intended to promote
the liberal and practical education
of the industrial classes in the
several pursuits and professions
in life".
They sketched a course of le-
gal action against the Federal
Security Agency the Department
of Agriculture the Office of Edu-
cation and other agencies that
might be found biased in alloting
public funds.
The Department of Agriculture
was called by the presidents the
most "prejudiced" of all FEEDER
al agencies. That said that Fed
eral funds extended to further
agricultural research in the South
had been spent wholly for White
schools in White institutions to
the exclusion of Negroes. The Me-
COR colleges obtained more aid

funds intended for resident in

DON'T QUIT

When things go wrong, as they
sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging
seems all uphill,
And you want to smile, but you
have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a
bit,
Rest, if you must-but don't you
quit.
Life is queer with it's twists and
turns,
AS everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many failure turns about
When he might have don had he
stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace
seems SLOW
You might succeed with another
blow
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of
doubt
And you never can tell how close
you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're

I am a Negro American. Like

the highest rents for the worst hou-

ilders say l am a poor risk, and they

That's bad enough. But they don't
stop there. They send their strong ar

stooges whom they dare to vote for
public housing, and slum clarence.
You see there is not too much pro-

First Negro G..
Training School
Completed In N.
Little Rock, Prof.
Eliza Hnter InCharge

CT vocational training for Ne
groes has been established recently
in Arkansas at modern new build
ing adjoining the Scippio A. Jones
High School in North Little Rock.
The school, which will be used
as a model for establishment of
other units, is under joint super
vision of the North Little Rocl
School District, the State Depart
ment of Education and the Vet
Grams Administration.
In addition to training Negro vet
eran students from Greater Little
Rock, Pulaski and adjoining coun-
ties, the school serves as the vo-
cational adjunct of the Jones High
School during the morning and late
afternoon. 1t becomes a CT training
center from 40 pm.
Principal Eliza Hunter of Jones
High School is also supervising the
vocational school. His duties in
clude co-ordinating training of 100
vocational students from the high
school, 378 GIs and 80 civilian stu
dents who pay tuition for training
ir' the CT program.
CouEs es include auo mechanics,
carpenrv, business training, English
and library science. The Phys
zeal plant and instruction program
are on par with any similar White
school in the state, said Director
Clifford S. Blackburn of the De-
partment of Education Division of
Teachers Education and Certifica-
ton. Mr.. Blackburn supervises GER
tification of schools to the VA for
veteran training.
Preventative maintenance for au-
tomobiles and mechanical farm
equipment is being taught in a
large, we'll ventilated garage. Pres
ent subject material consist of an
antiquated truck which is stripped
and rebuilt many times to teach
students the intricacies of proper
maintenance.

The school hopes to work out a
program whereby far mequiptment
will be brought in during winter
months when not needed, used for
Institutional Purposes, and then
overhaul for return to the owner
in spring.
The modern 11-classroom build
ing was completed by the North
Side school district September Is
at a cost of about $4,000; consid-
erably less than the cost of similar
construction today. The saving is
attributed in part to use of War
surplus materials and equipment
where possible. Plans for he build
ing were drawn by '4dents in the
North Little Rock High School me-
chanical drawing class.
Supt. R. B. Brawner of the North
Little Rock District said VA rentals
ultimately should pay for the build
ing. When the CT training program
is ended, he contemplates convert
ing the building into the secondary
school with the addition of two
more buildings. The old Jones
school would be used as an ele-
mentary school.

SAVING USED LUMBER

Recently I decided to tear down
an old shed and use the lumber for
building ar addition to the poultry
house greatly desired by a new
tenant. The shed had been built
some 20 years ago and sided with
used white pine lap siding. While
rather brash and badly weathered
after probably so years service, this
lumber would still make as weather
tight a wall as the best available
knotty new lumber I could buy at
present high prices.
My very first attempt, however,
showed me that the usual removal
methods could not be used, as the
old boards split very easily. Finally
I ground the claw of a 12-inch wreck
ing bar rather thin and tried driving
this under the nail head, and my
troubles were over. A light tap on
the small bar with the hammer
started the nail so I could pull it
with the claw hammer or large
wrecking bar, and I could make good
Roadway with practically no damage
to the lumber.
Of course, there would occasion
ally be a slight mark where the claw
was driven under the nail head, but
a little putty between the first and
second paint coats will fill the nail
hole and mark so it will scarcely
show at all. / figure that the care
full use of the small wrecking bar
saved me at least $500 for new siding.
