Drew Gave Up
Riches To Train
Race Doctors

Although he was the recipient of
many attractive financial offers
from wealthy hospitals, the late
DR.. Charles Drew turned them
down because he felt it mission
airy duty to train young doctors
studying at Howard University.
Writing in the July issue of
OUR WORLD magazine, Dave
Hepburn reveals that the famed
originator of the Red Cross Blood
Bank during that war that resulted
in saving thousands of allied sol
dier's lives, only averaged $1,000
yearly as professor of surgery at
Howard and chief of staff at
Freedman's Hospital. The late 46-
year-old physician was killed last
April while enroute with three as
sociates to attend medical con-
vention at Tuskegee, Alabama.
Early in life DIR. Drew wanted
to become an electrical engineer
and even while at Amherst he still
retained that idea. But, Hepburn
relates, playing football there,
banged him up SO physically that
he decided he wanted to learn more
about the human body and in 1928
he entered McGill University in
Canada. He subsequently acquired
his electorate in Medical Science a
few years later from Columbia u.
Even at the time of his death he
was engaged in working on his
pet research project water bal
ance."
AS nice gesture to his memory
his colleagues decided to continue
the work. They formed a Charles
Drew Memorial Fund for which
contributions are being sought.

SYMPATHY 70 MAYOR CURLEY

The editors Of The Guardian have deepest sympathy
for former Mayor James M Curey whose heart has been
torn with grief at the sudden passing of two of his child

Death has often to the Mayors household - the
other children his elder daughter his namesake
other children and two of his most promising
upon whom he had hoped to lean in all his future
deavors.
Any man who has the esteem of the poor and the
citizen need not be told that they sympathize
with him when misfortune strikes him. The Mayor must
have been helped mmeasurably by the sympathy of
in public life with whom he associated during his
public career; politicians members of legislature and
members of the National House and Senate But among
the great crowd of those who pressed forward to the
home OF the Cureys muttudes from the so-caled
common people who sought to show by their presence the
heartfelt sympathy which spring from the knowledge Of
the benefactons which Curley had bestowed upon them
by his abors in behalf of them during the years They
could point to the practical things which he executed
There were schools and hospitals recreation centers
which were built in the interest of the great mass of c
zens and at the time they constituted a part of
Cureys aspirations to build Boston into city second to

Wright's life clearly revealed
a morning, a noon and even

when he retired as college presi-
dent of a school at Savannah,
Ga. His active life must have
stressed the might of money in
a races fight for freedom. His
urge to make money was not
to pile up dollars but build up
reservoirs of power by amass-
ing money, for money is the
blood stream of American life.
How remarkable that in sixteen
years in the City of Brotherly
Love he built the Citizens and
Southern Bank in the heart of
the black masses. His own re-
ward was to make a million for
himself.
Then came the eveningtide-
and how glorious the light He
did some Of the fine and I'M
selfish things he had dreamed,
And God blessed him with long
life to do those things, for he
passed the ninety-second mile
stone. And when he passed he
was planning trip by air to
Liberia. One Of his pet ideas
was to get Congress to pass a
bill COMMUNICATING the 18th
Amendment, and to be known
as National Freedom Day.
Black Americans are on the
march. Wright as lad in the
boxcar foresaw it in the answer
he gave to General o. o. How
ards inquiry, What message
shall I take to the people back
North?" Wright flashed back
the answer, TELL 'em we's a.
