make your contribution Ito the
cancer fight. =
All you have to do is put your
contribution in an envelope-put
three-cent stamp on it--address
it simply to Cancer, Key West,

wax from the melting candle will
embed them firmly until the end
of the drive, at which time, the
wax will be re-melted and the

tween saving or losing a life. So

Destroyed In Six
Day Campaign

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone -
(ANP) Fourteen thousand two
hundred and seventy eight mon
keys and three chimpanzees were
killd in a six day campaign which
ended in September inthe Pujehun
district of the Sierra Leone pro-
tectorate.
The monkeys had been causing
considerable damage to crops in
the district.
The campaign was organized by
two agricultural officers who were
assisted by the district commiss-
Toner, paramount chiefs, and tribal
authorities. Financial assistance
was given toward making the hunt
a successful one.
A similar program held last
year led to the destroying of H.
272 monkeys in the district.

it be possible to concentrate the
callousness Of prejudice on Ne
gro children? If there were no
ghetto how would it be possible
to pave over the street a tracks
in every single section of the city
but the portion which runs thru
the Negro district?
No, there is nothing wrong with
establishing Negro businesses, but
concurrently with that there
should be absolutely no slacken-
ing Of the struggle to get Negro
es skilled jobs and executive
positions in other enterprise. There
should never by any excuses what
ever for giving up in this struggle,
or re-diresting it. This is a truism
that the leaders Of the Negro
people in Dayton should remember.
This will avoid a repetition of the
distressing school mess here in
Dayton.

In his argument for the added
clause in the charter, Buder said
that it would, be believed, be as
powerful as authority from the
State Legislature. Further, he said,
it would give the Board of Alder

dinance covering civil rights.
Another proposal heard at the
meeting was presented by Alroy

NAACP St. Louis chapter. This
suggestion would prevent the less

Both proposals will be consider

TEL AVN, (JTA) An ex-
change of all war prisoners be-
gan this week between Israel and
Syria following the signing of the
armistice pact between the two
countries.
Thirty-two Israelis, including
two women, who had been held
in Syria as prisoners of war were
brought to the border and turned
over to the Israeli authorities.
They were blindfolded with
handkerchiefs by the Syrian mil
|itary authorities for security
reasons. Sixty Syrian war pris-
oners held by Israel will be
brought today to the Syrian
frontier for return to their homes.
Most Israeli Government offic-
ials were hopeful that signing of
the armistice agreement with
Syria will speed up the final
peace treaties with the Arab
states.
The Syrian agreement is inter-
preted as implying acceptance
and recognition of the existence
of Israel by all it's Arab neigh
bors. This feeling exists des-
pite the provision in the Syrian
armistice pact, which is not in
any of the other three, that ear
rangementS for the armistice
demarcation line are not to. be
interpreted as having any re-
lations whatsoever to ultimate
territorial agreements"
