The Standard Products open
house, Friday, gave us an oppor-
tunity to view the wheels OF in
dustry in action, it being the first
time we had been inside the plant
during the Is years it has been
operating in Port Clinton. What
with the crowds of people touring
the plant and those partaking of
refreshments under the canvas
tent outside, it looked as if the
anniversary celebration was a
huge success.
We We're impressed by the size
of the plant and by the many
and varied operations necessary
to produce the automotive parts
for which the company is fam
Gus. We enjoyed the tour of the
plant and the refreshments serv-
ed by the women of the Methodist
and st. John Lutheran churches.
Our ticket, given to us when we
entered the plant, indicated that
we We're visitor 453 and that was
only a few hours after the doors
were opened the public.
The only complaint we could
find with the celebration was the
fact that we couldn't wangle a
souvenir balloon from the good
looking girls who We're giving
them out. They said we were too

One Day Last Week a passer-
by poked his head in the door of
the Port Clinton Hardware Co.
to ask Leahbelle Adams what kind
of chickens they raised on their
farm. When she told him white
leghorns", he said, "Well one just
laid an egg on the sidewalk out
in front of the store" Sure
enough, there was the egg and
also the hen surveying her ac-
complishment with pride. Just
another case of a country gal
making good in the big city!
But then the fun began. At
tempting to capture the elusive
feathered fowl, it was necessary
to employ not only Applied
Chicken Psychology" but a hand
full of cracked corn to try and in
duce the her that her. place was
at home on the farm, not roaming
the streets in a dither of loud
cackles and ruffled feathers.
A chase ensued, with Leahbelle
pursuing the errant hen down the

finally the delinquent was corner
ed in the bushes by the Standard
Oil filing station. No one seems
to know how the hen got into
town unless she hitched a ride
on the undercarriage of the Adams
truck when Leahbelle returned to
town after a trip to their Cataw-
ba farm.

been times when we've been ac-
cused of being nalI baked, and
resented it, but if we survive the
weather this week darned If we
won't have to ccncede the point.
Grab yourself a glass of iced

a couple of matters we have to get
under control before it's time to

If The BOlte China and Gift

out to play the tune Saturday,
for that's the day the shop will

the opening of Pitman's new sc

Exclusive To The Back Fence
At least we think it's exclusive
because we doubt that any other
local society columns will be COW
ering a wedding that took place
last Wednesday. But We think
the marriage of Joe Palooka and
Ann Howe is worthy of mention
here. Of course if you don't read
the comic strips this information
won't so much as create a ripple
in your life and we pass it along
only because we hate to have the

Negro Home
Owners Meeting
Problem OF
Finance

DETROIT-Negro families in
the United States are improving
their ability to acquire their own
homes, and are the most striking
group of prospects in the 195Gs,
according to Franklin Harding Jr..
of Chicago, vice president of the
U. S. Savings and Loan League.
He was one of two speakers heard
here Wednesday at the second an
nual meeting of the American Saw
ings and Loan League, comprising
Negro savings and loan institu-
tions.
The two factors which have
most to do with home ownership
achievement, he said, are income
level of the family and the avafi-
ability of financing On reasonable
terms. Both of these factors are
less of handicaps than heretofore,
Mr.. Hardings concluded.
c. c. Spaulding, president of
the North Carolina Mutual Insur-
ance Company, told the League
also that the field of finance is
wide open for Negroes as avenues
for business careers, as well as
medium for dealing with our own
problems. He urged greater par
ticipation.
Eleven of the 26 eligible asso-
Citations are affiliated with the
League, and have aggregate as
sets of slightly less than $S,OOO,-

Bias In Action
For example, during that year,
the University Of Arkansas was
given $1,1Oo,85s, while Arkansas
A & M College got only $53,3S2.
This" said Perry, "is an ex-
ample of what happens to federal
funds when legislation contains
no safeguards to prohibit discrim-
nation"
Perry charged that the Barden
federal aid to education bill, in
PRODUCED by Congressman Graham
Barden Of North Carolina and "a
vorably reported by the House
subcommittee, was "anti-Negro
and wholly unacceptable to the
NAACP."
The bill makes an outright gift
of federal money to the states.

distribution to Negro pupils.
