Because of the need for increased
emphasis for college education
which stresses the training of Chris
tian citizenship, the General Bap-
tist Convention which was held at
the First Baptist Church in Tampa,
April 6-1O, 1949, passed a resolution
which would increase the financial
contributions that churches would
make to Florida Normal and Indus.
trial College.
The Convention has previously
pledged itself to give $1O0,000.0 90
Zone hundred thousand dollars) per
year for the support of the college.
To facilitate the raising of this
amount of money, the Convention
adopted a resolution to urge pastors
and officers to get their respective
churches to set up special Educa-
tional Committees where such did
not exist and collect funds each
Sunday for the college which are to
be sent to the college each month,
for which the Association to which
the church belongs will receive
credit.

DATE WITH A DISH
An Urban League Affiliate

Mrs. Freda DeKnight, Food Edi-
tor. of Ebony magazine left the city
Thursday, April IA after a three-day
engagement Of lectures and demon
strations to high school students,
faculty, and to community groups.
Mrs. DeKnight is the only Negro
Food Expert in the country. She is
also the editor Of the popular book
of Negro recepies, A Date With a
Dish.
In lecturing to the various groups
Tor Vocational Guidance among the
young people. She enumerated the
many vocational opportunities
which are available to Negroes in
the food and fashion industries.
She slater that there is only one
Negro Food and one Negro Fashion
Editor in the entire country" Ac-
cording to Mrs. DeKnight, both in
dustries are wide open to qualified
workers. She made an appeal to the
youth to prepare themselves to go
into the lesser crowded fileds. AT
present there are job opportunities
for trained food photographers,
meat inspectors, meat cutters, die
ticians, fashion editors, food edi-
tors, and food technicians. What
are we going to do about filling
these openings? Are we taking steps
toward preparing persons to quail
fy for these positions? Is there
enough thinking in the areas of vo-
cations that would stimulate a more
conscious effort on the part of the
citizens to cooperate with groups
and agencies manifesting interest in
this problem?
The audiences were equally re-
sponsive in Goulds as they were in
Greater Miami when Mrs. DeKnight
gave forth with such a wealth of
Information. Not only is she well
versed in the foods field. but she is
equally ..at home" in business, edu-
cation, politics. and what have you.

The two hours spent in the ses-
sion on the Buying Power of the
Negro could easily have gone into
the third or the fourth hour had IL
not been necessary for the Execu-
tive Director Of the Negro Service
Council to intervene. At luncheon
meeting with the Adelphian Club
"a business and professional mems
organization), Mrs. DeKnight
brought forth some very startling
statistics from which we quote:
(men take notice. Women spend 80
per cent of all money for food in
the United States; rs per cent Of all
money spent for clothing; 81 per
cent of all money spent for consum,

Irish Pronounce Finis
To Officiating Furor
By the Associoted Press

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-As far as
Notre Dame Is concerned. the
furor regarding officiating at last
Saturdays Notre Dame Washing
ton football game is over.
Edward (Moose) Krause, Notre
Dame athletic director. told the
Chicago Football Writers Associa-
tion yesterday that Coach Frank
Leahy's criticism of officiating
merely was that of a coach intent
on defending his players against
insinuations of dirty" playing.
Krause said it did not reflect any
animosity toward the University
of Washington.
Movies Of the game, Krause said,
show that instances of Notre
Dame holding as interpreted by
the officials were wrongly called.
"It was the cleanest game I've
ever seen," he added.
In Seattle earlier this week a
Washington official was quoted as
saying the Huskies never again
would schedule Notre Dame. But
yesterday Krause said that right
after the game" he and Harvey
Cassill, Washington athletic di-
rector, discussed the possibility of
future contracts.

Lefty Joe Muir, who won a neat
Shit pitching performance in the
first game of the minor league
classic at Montreal last Saturday.

pected to be slim-jawed Clarence
Podbielan, who tanned the Indians
in a relief role after taking over
Montreal's lost cause in the first

BertoIa in Critical
Condition Following
Fight Against 0ma
By the Assoeiated Press

BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. s.
Heavyweight boxer Enrico Bertola,
who collapsed in his dressing room
after dropping a 10-round decision
to Lee Oma, was reported in very
critical condition today.
Emil Nanny, manager of the
27-year-old Chicago fighter. said
Bertola underwent an operation
early today for removal of blood
clot from his brain. Nanny quoted
the doctor as saying that the
boxer, a former resident of Italy,
had "a very good chance" of re-
covering despite his critical con-
dition.
Nanny said Bertola had been in
his dressing room about IS minu-
tes last night when he complained
of feeling sick at his stomach. He
was sitting on a table when he
lapsed into unconsciousness.
Bertola's manager said the box
er was in the operating room at
Emergency Hospital nearly five
hours.
DR.. Louis Hertz. who examined
Bertola at the scene. said the
boxer suffered a cerebral concus-
sion and probably a cerebral hem
orrhage.
Oma, weighing 1862, seemed
on the verge of scoring a knock
out in the final round, but had to
settle for a unanimous decision
before 1851 fans at Memorial
Bertola weighed 1874.
Oma pummeled his opponent
with both hands from the start,
but never succeeded in knocking
him down. Bertola's only trip to
the canvas came in the third
round when he missed with a wild
left and lost his balance.
Bertola left the ring under his
own power.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5 (NANA) =
When a World Series opens, the
first spot one looks to is the pitch
ing. This doesn't mean that a
Gionfriddo can't save a game
with miraculous catch, nor that
a Lavagetto can't win one with
long hit.
1t simply means that the pitch
ing carries the main burden and
writes most of the answers. When
YOU begin to size up Yankee and
Dodger pitchers you get dizzy in
less than two minutes. Both staffs
were packed with wild men
pitchers who could flash brilliantly
and then suddenly explode.
For example, we might take up
the cases of Allie. Reynolds and
Ralph Branca. Reynolds worked
in 80 games, of which he finished
five. ..
Branca worked in "a games and
Ralph completed about the same
number-either five or six. Both
