Trophy Goes To
Greenwood

The Negro Prep Big $50" Confer
ence met at the Lanier High School,
Jackson, Mississippi last weekend
during which, among many other
matters considered, the conference

or the Southern Division, and Zone
B or the Northern Division.
The Southern Division is made
up of schools as follows: Brook
haven, Hattiesburg, Laurel, Nc
Comb, Magnolia. Meridian, Prem
tiss and Utica. The Northern Divi-
sion is set-up with the following
schools: Forest, Greenville, Green
wood, Jackson, Louisville, Morton,
Newton, Vicksburg, and Yazoo
City. Each team must play every
other team in its division each
year, with the top teams of the
two divisions meeting in a post
season game for conference honors.
Greenwood, via the Dickinson
Rating System, was declared 1850
Conference Champions, followed in
order, by Laurel, Forest and Meri-
dian, last years conference banner
bearer. This season brought sew
eral, at least mild, upsets including
Morton's 1870 win over Jackson,
Brookhaven's so verdict over Meri-
dian and the Hattiesburg dumping
0-12, by the preseason, overlook
ed Stone Street Tigers of Green
wood. Hats off to Coach L. H
Rutledge of Greenwood and Coach
J. R. Frye of Laurel for bringing
their teams in with 1850 unblemish-
ed records. 1t has been reported
that Laurel and Greenwood have
accepted bowl bids, to play an um-

Sandy SaddIer
Defeated By
Del Flanagan

DETROIT, MICH. - Del Flana-
gan of ST. Paul scored a ten-pound
upset win over Sandy Saddler,
ieatherweight champion of the
world from Harlem, N. Y, We'd
nesday night in Olympia Stadium,
before 5,186 fans.
The judges gave Flanagan a
unanimous decision. The non-title
scrap was rough and tumble af-
fair all the way.
Flanagan, a stablemate of Willie
Pep, aped his will-o-wisp tactics
all the way He back pedalled most
of the way. Most spectators were
stunned when judges gave Flana-
gan the verdict.
1t was the 50th link in Flana-
gan's streak of pro fights with
out loss and it practically earned
him a shot at Lightweight Champ
ion Ike Williams title in January.
A 81 underdog at ringtime, the
little known Flanagan won the
verdict of all three ring officials
in battle that would have made
the Marquis of Queensbury writhe
in anguish.
Saddler and Flanagan made. up
their own version of the rules as
they went along and it included
everything from butting, to wrestl-
ing, hitting on the break and a
few other tactics not mentioned
in polite circles.
There were no knockdown in
the battle which say Flanagan
punch bit the hardest and he used
his four-pound weight advantage
at 1872 ga to good advantage in
the innumerable clinches an d
wrestling holds.

until late in the third round when
the American uncorked what ap-
peared to be low blow. Van Dam,
who scaled 1871, went down but
was saved by the bell.
He was carried to his corner,
came out for the fourth round and
was flattened, this time by a left
cross to the head. The end came at
one minute of the fourth round.

Pin China Hopes

NEW YORK. = Chinese anti
Communists have not given up
hope of liberation from the Red
yoke, although they would not give
devaluated yuan for Chang Kai-
shek's chances of returning victori-
ously to the mainland of China.
According to a dispatch from the
Stockholm Sevenska Dagbladet's
Far Eastern correspondent, Chinese
masses have pinned their hopes of
liberation on the return to China of
Jap army outfitted and possibly
commanded by Americans.
They foresee, with Oriental
realism, U. S.-Japanese military
cooperation in the Far East, with
Americans disregarding the fact
that Japan was a World War II
enemy.

HOW DOES THE CREDIT UNION WORK?

paid This rate covers all the
charges for making the loan and is
practically equivalent to go per an
mum discount rate.
Terms of Loans: Terms for which
loans can be made depend on the pur-
pose of the loan. Repayments can
be made weekly, semi-monthly,
monthly, or seasonally.
Amount of Loan: The amount
member may borrow varies in differ
ent credit unions but is always enough
to meet all ordinary requirements.
Security Required: Most credit
unions have liberal unsecured loan
limits. Security on larger loans can
consist of co-signers, chattel mort
cages, and so forth.
Convenience: To borrow it is
only necessary to fill out an applica-
ton and pledge the security required
if any.
Saving: When adversely strikes
we usually need money and need it
in hurry. The credit union makes
this money available quickly and
quietly at the lowest interest rates
available anywhere. Credit union
loans will also save you money by
making it possible for you to pay cash
for all your purchases, thus elimin-
ating the usually heavy finance
charges.

SUPPORT FOR BRANNAN
PLAN is GROWING

Drew Pearson reports that the
Ohio Farm Bureau, defying FB Ma
tional President Kline, has gone on
record for the Brannan farm price
support plan.
Clio Oil Workers, meeting in Great
Falls recently, approved the Brannan
farm price support plan.
The Retail Clerks Advocate, Clerks
Union magazine, said this to it's mem
bership in the April, 1850, issue ::
"And what about the Brannan farm
plan? 1t would cut grocery bill by
paying farmers a direct subsidy and
letting food prices seek their normal
level in the market"
Ten thousand Minnesota farmers
crowded the st. Paul municipal au-
ditorium, April 10, to hear Mr.. Bran
nan explain the administration pro-
posals for a long range farm income
support plan. This was heralded as
the largest farm meeting in the North
west for years. Eighty-five per cent
of those attending said in a straw
vote poll they were in favor of the
Brannan farm plan.

DOMINANT COP PAPER COMES OUT
FOR BRANNAN farm PROGRAM

The strongest Republican paper, in
a Republican state, The Des Moines
Register of Des Moines, Iowa, has
come out for the Brannan Plan and
is Gliding Senators and Representa-
tives, and President Allan B. Kline
of the Farm Bureau for calling the
Brannan Plan "socialistic".
The Register states, quote, "The
Brannan Plan is nothing revolution
airy in farm plans. 1t is a natural ex-
tension of the farm price support
plan and acreage control which grew
up during the 30's and the war H.. :.
for Brannan would include many
more important farm products such
as livestock products. The plan would
use direct payments on bigger scale,
thus permitting market prices to fall
low enough to prevent SURPRISES of
considerable commodities. These in
novations will hardly sound bad to
people who are accustomed to price
pegging. In short, once you accept
price supports as the basic method of

protecting farm income, the Brannar
Plan is hard to resist. The Republic
cans have fallen into this trap"
Who in the past have supported
the Republican Party's policies and
the Farm Bureaus? Polls all show,
even among Farm Bureau MEM
bers in Iowa, majority favor
the Brannan Plan, because it means
bigger markets and supported
price, while members of labor
organizations are calling for it,
and those who support it, as they
will be able to purchase at a
reasonable price the comm ODDITIES
now rotting in storage because of
surplus.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press a
Republican party daily
states despite price supports the net
income of farmers is already 20 per
cent below 1947 and it may decline
another Is per cent next year. Re-
duction in price of food has been
at the farmers expense. Had it not
been for the price supports the mis-
fortune of agriculture would have
been severe"

more, the same 3 per cent own Al

Rehabilitation Brings Jobs
For 5000 Deaf People

WASHINGTON-More than 5000
jobless or unsuitably employed deaf
and Misunderstanding persons were
prepared for and placed in self-sus-
tanning jobs during 1949 through
state-federal vocational rehabilita-
tor services, such as are carried on
under direction of Left Fredericks,
of the Montana Vocational Reha-
Utilization bureau.
Reported Michael J. Shortly of the
Federal Security Agency: Before
rehabilitation about 81 per cent of
the deaf and so per cent of the hard
of-hearing were unemployed"
The agency estimated that at least
$4,000 deaf and 237, 900 hard-of-
hearing need rehabilitation to earn

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO
SAVE

Dividends: Credit unions are per-
mitted to pay dividends up to six pei
cent per year after operating expen-
ses have been paid and the required
reserves have been set aside.
Safety: Credit union loans are
made to members only. All money
received and not loaned or invested
is deposited in insured banks. The
treasurer and others handling credit
union money are bonded and the
books are examined by governing
authorities examiners at regular in
tervals. A share of all earnings must
be set aside as a reserve against I'M
collectible loans. Credit committees
consider carefully the purpose of
each loan, the character of the ap-
plicant, his ability to repay and the
security offered if any. Credit un-
ions operate under the supervision of
the state and federal governments.
Convience: The secret of saw
ing is to put away part of what we
earn before we have chance to
spend it. The credit union makes
this possible.
Regularity: No matter how little
you save, if you save regularly it soon
mounts up. The credit union makes
this possible. The maximum amount
any one member may have in his
share account varies in different
credit unions.
Simplicity: 1t is easy to save in
credit union, and every deposit is
entered in the members pass book.
Economy: Aside from the modest
salary paid to the treasurer who does
the work, the credit union is operated
by its members, who serve without
pay, and other expenses are usually
quite low. This makes for very eco
nomical operation and permits the
credit union to pay better than av-
erage dividend.
Withdrawals: Savings may be
withdrawn at any time by applying
to your treasurer.
FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO
BORROW
For Emergencies To: Pay off
piled-up bills; Pay hospital expenses;
Pay the doctor or the dentist; Pay
insurance premiums; Pay rent; Pay
taxes; Pay fuel bills; Finance vaca-
tions; Finance school courses.

biles, radio sets, refrigerators, oil
