Scores Housing
Bill "Politics"

WASHINGTON, -''Housing is
no longer a subject for partisanl

Marcantonic, N. Y. Progressive,
charged in statement issued
70 the House Committee on
Banking and currency last week.
The fiery Representative
decried those Senators and Con
gressmen who are using the
housing bill for political
football" He said 'eEverybody.
including the administration have
been giving lip service to the
housing crisis, especially around
election time"
He charged that the thing
that worries almost half of
America day and night is the
fact that its most urgent problem
is given only one thousandth of
the federal expenditure. eavered
I'VE spare billions to arm
strangers abroad, but can
hardly scrape up a few million

HOLDS MEET IN
WASHINGTON

NEW YORK-A national con-
ference On the Economic Needs
of Young America will be held
in Washington, d G. on June
and 5, it was announced last
week by the Young Progressives
of America.
Between 400 and 500 young
people from all ports of the
country, Negro and white, will
participate in the formation of
"a charter of economic rights for
young America.
Seymour Linfield, executive
director Of Young Progressives
of America, explained that ''This
conference, the first Of its kind
since the end of the war, is call
ed as five million are unemploy-
ed, more than half of these
young people. Wages of young
workers are miserably low,
speed-up is increasing, with
young workers in the special rola
of pace-setters, and unemploy-
ment is still rising. Young Ne
groes, hit hardest TO all, reflect
the economic insecurity of al
most all young Americans.
"The conference will examine
the economic conditions of all
young people-young workers,
students, young farmers, Their
economic opportunities will be
considered within the framework
of the developing arms econ
omy. We shall see why young
Americans can't have decent
jobs and a secure economic flu
trlre as our government spends
Sc billion form arms. We can't
have a North Atlantic Military
Pact, which commits our gov
eminent to the path of war, and
still expect production for peace
and job security" .

Harlen's Doctor
Wright Pioneers
New Hiracle Drug

CEIICAGO:-Although famed
John -Hobkfnsl University Hos
pital was given supply Of the
new wonder drug aureomycin at
the same time that Harlem
Hospital Doctor Louis T. Wright
received his first quantity for
experiment, a June EBONY
photo feature reveals that the
great Negro surgeon proved lthe
value of the drug a full four
months earlier than the Baltimore
scientists.
'Aureomycin looms as a
possible wonder drug beyond the
widest dreams of the average
Doctor" the Ebony story states,
"and has curative powers far in
excess Of the previous Big Three
in the battle against disease-the
sulphur drugs, pencillin and
streptomycin.
Gin addition" Ebony declares,
"aureomycin has no harmful
soffoetS on humans"
Original fears that aureomycin
might cause unpleasant effects
on humans has been allayed by
the discovery that III is almost
toxic free. the magazine states.
Tests have proved that no dose
causes harmful toxic effects.
DR.. Wright wored with an in
terracial team on Negro patients
in his first tests of the drug and
used it first in treating
lymphogranuloma venereum, a
Wenereal disease. DR.. Wright, a
distinguished member Of the
American College Of Surgeons
and head Of the Harlem Hos
pital, has been on the staff for
thirty-years and is author of a
chapter in Scudder's textbook
"The Treatment Of Fractures"
a standard teXe for the nations,
medical schools.
Other diseases have since been
effectively treated with aureom-
ycin and although the drug is
still in its relative infancy, it's
wonders are being hailed in the
country's medical journals as
second to none in sciece's
arsenal of weapons against
disease.

COLLEGE FUND
Gets NEW SET
E||:NCYCL 0PED|A

As part of it's sixth annual
nationwide campaign to aid 81
Negro colleges, the United Negro
College Fund accepted here this
week the first 80 volume set of
the Encyclopedia Americana
printed in the 1949 revised edi-
tion of the 120 year-o1d reference
work.
Thomas D'A. Brophy, board
chairman of the Kenyon & Eck-
hardt advertising agency, and
chairman of the Funds public
information committee receiv-
ed the gift from Dr.. Lavinia P.
Dudley, editor. and turned it over
to DR.. A. D. Bethel, president,
Talladega college, Talladega,
Alabama, one of the institutions
of the Fund, for use in the col
lege library.
For ten years this college has
had am outstanding record in
community library service, Mr..
Brorhy explained Its unique
"Bookmobiley' or library on
wheels, serves schools and in
and individuals in rural and iso-
lated parts of Alabama. A half
ton truck, stated by students
and teachers, it distributes some
700 books and magazines on it's
Journeys around the state. 1t has
travelled thousands of miles over
rrbtted, sticky clay roads bring
Ing books to some 1000 school
children, their parents and others
every year. Often the bookmobile
IS the only source of the printed
word in remote sections where
the nearest library is inaccessible
At the same time Talladega col
lege has served the urgan COM
by maintaining a we'll
equipped city library. This COM
munity library has become
kind OF community ceter with
rooms for many edu-
cational, welfare and recreation
al activities.
"Tihis presentation of the en-
cyclopedia is made to emphasize
The many important needs which
the United Negro College Fund
will help its schools meet" Vim
cent E. Sutliff, president of the
Corporation, said. In
tits current campaign the Fund
is seeking to raise $L4OOJ0OO
which is To- per cent of the COM
Ibined operating budgets of it's
colleges. The monies
collected by the Fund are used
for college maintenance and op-
irrational expenses, to buy new
library, classroom or laboratory
equipment, Improve grounds and
buildings or aid needy Students
DIR. Dudley said that since 1910
more than two-thirds of ,fnd
Americana had been totally re-
vised. "This means that thou
sands of articles have been
added. Outstanding authorities
not only of the United States and
Canada but of other countries
have interpreted their special
ties" she said.
The new edition which covers
100000 topics in the arts, sci
ences, industry, and biography.
includes an entirely new series
of maps and biographies and a
special article ON each state pre-
pared by resident authorities. 1t

BELIEVE IT OR NOT =

A recent arrival in Seward from the States had heard many remarks about the arrival of the "bOat train" She remarked to several people that she had never seen a boat train and would like to do so. Accordingly a friend considerably offered to take her down to the local depot and view it's arrival "Why. it's just like any ordinary train!" she said, and asked where the boat part of it was.
 She undoubtedly has several other surprises in store for her. On her trip to Hope Monday she hopes to get her first view of snoW-shoe rabbits. She has been seriously wondering aloud to her associates where rabbits get their snow-shoes. When informed they were born with them, her wide eyed expression of incredulous dis belief was unbounded.

The C,adGe Ree9e.

Most everybody is holding his breath hoping that the weather will give us break on Sunday for the big picnic at Bear Lake and on Monday for the Independence day celebration.
 This is going to be the best op- portunity of the year to get ac- quainted with your fellow towns men.
 One could live in Seward forever and never know his neighbors on the next block. Some people prefer this anonimity, but it seems to me that in a community more or less isolated from the world it would make pleasanter place if people would learn to live together.
 There is nothing more uplifting on a gloomy day than to walk down town and greet or be greeted by a dozen different acquaintances. can't think of anything better than an informal picnic to break down the barriers of strangeness. so let's get out in big crowd and get acquainted. There will be food aplenty and free coffee games, contests and all the good will in the world for everyone who is willing to participate
 Bring your baskets of favorite picnic 'stuffs and have a really good time.
 I'll see you there-at least 800 of you!
