CHICAGO (ANP)- Research
which took II years and the
learning Of 80 African languages
has uncovered astonishing survi-
walls of African culture and more
than 1000 African words, names
and numbers still spoken among
100000 Negroes in n section of
the United tSates. What is more
astonishing is the fact that numer-
u words, hitherfore regarded as
'Americanism' or slang, are
directly derived from words used
In the African dialects.
The discover OF the link between
present-day Americanisms and
African dialects is 54-year-old
DR.. Lorenzo Dow Turner, profess
sor of English at Roosevelt col
tege, formerly of Fisk university
In Nashville. His findings were
published last month by the Uni
versity of Chicago, under the title
of "Africanism in the Gullah Di-
alect."
The book, while too technical
for lay readers, provides conclu-
sive proof for students of Am
erican English that the missing
link which introduced many
A~mericanism is the Gullah dialect.
Base of DR.. Turner's research act
ivities was the Black Border : -
that portion of the United States
consisting of the Rice Islands and
the neighboring coast for 240
miles between Georgetown, S. c.,
and st. Mary's Ca, on the Flori-
da State line.
Some of the natives in this sect
or have never been off the sea
islands nor seen a white man
from close up. The Gullah dialect,
popularity called "Geechee", had
previously been dismissed by in
vestigators as only bad English.
The first known Americanism
is the word "tote'' meaning carry.
This term has been found in print
within 70 years after the first
settlement at jamestown, Va. It
has no known English origin. In
Gullah dialect as we'll as five West
African languages, DR.. Turner
found the meaning to be the same
"pick up" or "carry."
The word "juke' is Gullah
from a Senegalese term implying
a wild time. The present-day
term "juke boxes" has it's origin
from the Senegalese term.
'Goober'' or "pinder'' for pea
nut, called "guba" and pinda" in
Gullah, originally came from i'd
entical words used by the Angola
tribes.

Embree Tells of
World Shift to
Democracy


Democracy
CHICAGO (ANP)- The big
job in the second half of the goth
century will be to effect a true
democracy for all people, parti-
cularly' in America, Edwin R. En-

urday.
In a speech before the third an
nual meeting of the conference
at a luncheon Nov. S at the Shore
land hotel, Embree pointed out
four major features of a new
trend toward true democracy in
America. He said they were:
1. Common advance of all the
people rather than special advanc-
es such as housing for Negroes
or Jewish hospitals as in the past.
2. Responsibility for improving
human relations now being taken
by society as a whole rather than
by special interest groups such as
the NAACP orthe American Jew
ish committee.
8. Shifting of concern for hui
man relations from local quarrels'
to national policies and finally
world responsibility.
4. More cooperation among diff
