II. B. A. Christmas Saw
inys Club Campaign
Launched

"A new campaign has been launch
ed known as the Christmas Savings
Club Campaign to end in the Deem
Der Board, 1850
The office has made out Christ
mas Savings Books for all of the To-
cal presidents in the Association.
Now, it IS up to you to decide as to
the amount of money you are going
to deposit in your Christmas Saw
ings Club.
A large number of presidents has
already made deposits. One presi-
dent has deposited $500 on her club.
She is now in line to receive inter
est on all over ten.
Those or us who were in atten-
dance during the Convention were
thrilled to see the long line formed
in front of the H B. A. Bank during
Banking Hour. All presidents who
added members, were issued checks
and after endorsing the checks to-
day, they took them to the bank and
cashed them for REAL H. B. A.
MONEY. Ask Mr.. w. M. Bell, or
Mr. G. D. Cotton, or Mr.. A. J. Bar
nett, or Rev. J. E Grace, and large
number of others they know.
The Christmas Savings Club works
like this:
For each member added ~, 70 ten
(10) you will be given SOC.
From ten to Is you will be given
SOC and Csc interest on each mem
Der added.
From IS to 20 you will be given
SOC for each member added and soc
interest on -.

CHRISTMAS CHECK TREE

The office is making ready to have
on the platform of our beautiful H.
B. A. Auditorium a lovely Christmas
Check Tree, whose decoration will
consist only of checks. To date, a
total of 60 checks will decorate the
tree and with a little less than a
month and half to 60 we hope the
number will run above the hundred
mark.
We wish it were possible for every
president in the Association to be
on the tree, L-Ne7er,
however, this is only made possible
through you and your works.
RESERVED SEATS
The echo. (Meridian, Miss.) 1942-1960, 1950-11-15

Reserved seats will be arranged
for all presidents who are taking a
part in the Christmas Tree however,
there will be only one seat for pres
idents who have added, l, 2, 3, 4
and up Where there are presidents
who tie with l or members, it
means that those presidents will be
required to occupy the same seat.
The question that stands out in my
mind it: who viii be seated first and
suppose there are four presidents
with the same number of members?
Well. for this, you win have to be
present and see for yourself This

integration of white and Negro
personnel into the same military
units is mot in the best interests
of national defense" :"
Mr.. Bennett made his comment
to a reporter after writing Presi-
dent Truman outlining his
thoughts on the matter.
He wrote:
Il heartily indorse the an
nouncement that equality OF
treatment and opportunity will
be provided in the armed services
If this has not been done in the
past our country has certainly
been derelict in its duties.
However. it has been generally
conceded that the effort being
made by some is not just to ac-
quire the valid objectives OF
equality Of treatment and oppor-
tunities; but rather to require
social integration of Negro and
white personnel.
1T does not appear to me to be
necessary to bring this about ir
order to achieve the announced
objectives." 4

cause of the possibility of neigh

One of the main reasons Hine
School has assumed the position
of the proVerbial stepchild, &C
,cording to DR.. Warner, is the
tantalizing presence of the pro-
posed - and authorized - new
building. Congress has appropri-
.ated nearly $4,000 for the prep
aration of plans by the munich
pay architect for the building to
be located on the present school
site.
Appropriated also is $4,000
for the purchase of adjacent land
for play area. The subcommittee
will be asked tomorrow to ap-
propriate S240,OOO more for this
purpose. A large portion of the
present playground is covered

BY Jeanne Rogers

to be laid before the House Dis
trict Appropriations subcommittee
again tomorrow.
The subcommittee at 10 am.
will resume hearings for citizens
on the s119, 100000 District budget

most attention from citizen wit

rundown condition as the Hine
School for white students, some
times called the Horrible Hine."
These two old junior high
schools have been high on the
Board of Education's priority list
for some years. In addition to cut
ting out Hine, the Commissioners
eliminated money to begin a re-
placement of the Armstrong High
School, which is for colored pupils,
and money to purchase a site for
new CardoZo High School, also
colored school.
