Tourist Season To Be Greatest In
 Eigh+y-One Years

According to Alaskas preseason tourist barometer-the lombard ment of letters from all parts of the world-the Territory antici- pates in l949 the greatest influx to tourists in it's 31-year history. Thousands of persons, from Alex andria, Egypt, to Omaha, NebraS- ka, to Buitenzorg, Indonesia, sat down during the winter to write the Alaska Development Board for information on how to get to the Territory things to do and places to see in America's Land of the Midnight Sun:
 An attorney in Omaha requested directions to drive to the Yukon River. A school teacher in New Or leans asked if she should wear "longies" aboard ship while cruis- Alaska waters. A welder in Tren- ton wanted to fly above the Arctic Circle and across the International Dateline into tomorrow A secre- tary in Los Angeles thought she would go husband hunting in the north and asked for particulars The Egyptian sportsman and In- donesian student wanted general tourist information.
 In addition, various transporta- tion companies serving the Terri tory are advertising Alaska in a big way. One Canadian company put it's Alaska cruise at the head of a list of "Canada's 10 Most Popu- lar Vacations" in an advertise ment appearing in leading U. s. magazines.

 In closing, I wish to send greet ings from the Legionnaire Club and its staff to Seward Post No. 5 and again say well done

and farms and every effort Isl
being made to get the figures to
farmers before the referendum.
County PIMA offices in recent
weeks have been getting produc-
ton records from farmers upon
which farm allotments will be bas-
ed. Voting on agricultural quotas
has been most influential accord
ing to observers in accustoming
rural areas to seeing Negroes
vote. Because the cotton referen-
dums are held under federal aus
pices polls, ballots and voters are
protected.
Six referendums on cotton have
previously been held. All were ap-
proved by more than a two-third
majority of the cotton farmers
who voted. Only farmers who pro-
duced cotton are eligible to vote
in the referendum. No poll tax re-
ceipts are necessary for cotton
farmers to become eligible to
vote.
Under the law, the secretary of
agriculture must proclaim market
ing quotas when the total of cot
ton will exceed the normal
supply. Normal supply is the
amount needed to take care of
domestic and export needs plus
80 percent. The law also places a
21, 100000 acre minimum on the
national acreage allotment for
1850. This acreage at average
yield will produce 11,733,000
bales which is the marketing quo
ia for 1850.
Two-thirds of the farmers vot-
ing in the referendum must ap-
prove quotas in order for the
| program to remain in effect.

a national cotton referendum will
be held on that date. The secre-
tary also announced a national

eligible to vote and are urged to
take advantage Of the opportuni-

the room in which l lived while
a student at Benedict. The ~revela-
ton did something to me. It laid
upon me the solem feeling of OBJ
legation to support to the limit
the cause Of education among my
own people. If the lowly whites
of Kirkville could do so much
with their such little, then I was
honor bound to do nothing less
than my best.
The professional herein before
mentioned possibly was educated
under similar circumstance and
he too was a product Of the bene-
factions Of the humble. The time
arrived when he too could in
a big way out of his affluence
contribute to the advancement of
the cause which proved to him
such blessing. He responed with
five dollars, when he could have
given five thousand without fin
ancil hurt. Does this professional
represent the spirit of the educat-
ed Negro? Is he a symbol of the
gxditude that the educated Negro
manifests towards his benefactors?
How will his example influence
the philanthropy Of the Negro
capitalist of tomorrow? Does that
professional Negro know that he
is a great tragedy, in that he is
bringing down upon the head of
his fellows of educational advant-
ages, the wrath of the oncoming
generations?
But to make a shameful exam
pie more shameful in that same
cmpaign an undertaken who had
never beento college and who
knew none ofthe pleasures and
privileges Of college communion,
handed over a check for a hun
dred dollars. When we have an
uneducated Negro giving a humid
re-. dollars for education and a
wealthy educated Negro giving
five dollars, we have some food
for thought that should give us
moral indigestion. Is the educated
/ Negro an migrate? Certainly not
| all of them, but how genearl is
the spiril herein portrayed? The
foregoing sets forth an awful in
dictment against the Negro who
can help his people and will not.

An Awful Indictment
There was hurled into my
teeth a few days ago and indict-
ment against the educated Negro
es, which if true should make us
hang our heads in abject dismay.
It amounts to an indictment again
st the entire Negro race. The story
goes that in a certain southern
city whites and Negroes rel
campaigning for the United Negro
College fund, as worthy an under
taking as can be found in the
country, A wealthy Negro was ap-
preached for a gift and he re-
sponded with a check for five
dollars. He was not only a college
graduate but a professional OF
prounced success earning annual
ly thirty or forty thousand, with
thre high priced cars at his COM
mand. His home was a mansion.
Here was a man who above all
others should have a sense of
gratitude toward the private col
lege that administered unto him
in his lowly estate, in the days
small things, when his way led
up hill and at times into the dark.
He was the beneficiary of white
norther philanthropy which was
flowing in a fulsome stream at
that date; but today this fulsome
flow amounts to little more than
a trickle. There are those of us
who always imagine that the
northern Christian organizations
which founded and supported
gloriously the early educational
institutions among Negroes OF the
South were wealthy people with
unlimited mean at their COM
mand. Nothing could be farther
from the truth.
These philanthropic orgniza-
tons of religious persuasion were
often supported by the humblest
and simplest of communicates.

dict college, one Of the Baptist
