Booker T. Washington often said: 'The end of all

is to give him goodness usefulness and power order that
he may exert helpful influence upon his fellows
Our graduates have in their heads and hearts the

homes, where their increased earning power will enable
them to raise their famys living standards They will be
able to set higher goals for themselves and those with
whom they in contact.
In their communities where once thev were ordinary
people doing ordinary unskiled work. getting low wages
paying high rent for subsandard housing rundown neigh
oofhoods, and eating bulky starchy and fatenng foods
these graduates have sufficient row-how to secure better
paying jobs Which will make them the envy of their neigh

CATHOLIC TRAIN FOR
INTERRACIAL WORK; WILL
STAFF FRIENDSHIP HOUSES

BURNLEY, Va. Especially
olics from eleven states have com
pleted the four-week training
course in the aims and techniques
of interracial justice at Maria
Laach Farm near here. Some 80
Catholics, Negroes and whites, par
ticipated.
Purpose of the course is to train
staff-workers for the Friendship
House movement in the United
States. The movement sponsors
recreational centers in the con-
gested housing areas in Chicago,
Washington, and New York. Dedi-
Gated to poverty, the staff-workers
serve without pay.

mittee chairman and then report
ed that the latter was determined
to exclude Negroes. Thereupon
our committee requested the Presi-
dent to withdraw from the dinner
in order to avoid giving the i'm
preston that the national officers
sanction or tolerate such discrim-
ination or, if unwilling to with
draw. to make his disapproval of
discrimination clear in his speech
at the dinner. He felt that he
could not do either, holding the
view that such acts would be is
courteous to his hosts.
Some further clarifying remarks
may be in order. There is no
state law or city ordinance which
prohibits interracial dinners. OF
this we have been assured by local
attorneys with long experience in
such matters. There is substan-
tial precedent for such dinners
which have been held even in some
local hotels, which are frequent
in some churches and other semi
private dining halls and which are
daily events at Fisk.
On November 81. 1850. Peabody
and Vanderbilt were hosts to the
Southern College Personnel Asso-
citation. This organization ban
quet was non-segregated
The point here is not that the
hotel at which the Association
held its banquet discriminates
against Negroes. The point is that
it was up to the arrangements
committee to find a place, on the
campus of one of the host institu-
tions or elsewhere, where all
mathmaticians could participate.

| Bible QUESTIONS
ANSW@RE eY The
VOICE fpR0pHECY
INTERNATIONAL BIBLE eRoAncAsTER

ouestion-Which chapter in the
Bible tells about good wife?
Answer-Possibly the questioner
refers to Proverbs 31:10-31.
Q.-Does God ever bring affIic-
tion on anyone?
Ale permits it to come some
times, but we read in Lamentations
1888 that "He doth not afflict will
ingly nor grieve the children of
men,"
o.-What is the difference be-
tween MORTAL and lMMoRTAL7
A.-MortaI means subject to
DEATH" Immortal means mot sub
ject to death. In Job 4:17, we read:
Shall mortal man be more just
than God?" and in Timothy 1:17:
Now unto the King eternal, immor-
tai, invisible, the only wise God, be
honour and glory for ever and
ever"
Q.-Are catfish clean, according
to the Bible? ! catch lot Of them.
A.-Read Leviticus 11:9: These
shall ye eat of all that are in the
waters: whatsoever hath fins and
scales in the waters, in the seas,
and in the rivers, them shall ye
eat" Then look at the fish!
Q.-When the apostles wrote the
Bible, why didn't they sometimes
put more than one subject into 4
chapter?
A.-The division of the books of
the Bible into chapters was not
made by the apostles, but is attrib-
uted to two men, Hugo of Spain,
and Laugton of England, in the
Thirteenth Century, and is an arbi-
trary arrangement for convenience
of reference.
Q.-Please give some Scripture
texts against strong drink.
A.-Proverbs POL: Wine is a
mocker, strong drink is raging: and
whosoever is deceived thereby is
not wise" Proverbs 1881, 32:
Look not thou upon the wine when
it is red, when it giveth his colour
in the cup, when it moveth itself
Alright. At the last it biteth like a
serpent, and stingeth like an adder"
Q.-Was the Holy Ghost known
before Christ's time?
A.-Read 2 Peter 1:21: "For the
prophecy came not in old time by
the will of man: but holy men of
God spake as they were moved by
the Holy Ghost" If these holy men
of God wrote the prophecies of the
Old Testament by the power of the
Holy Ghost, it is clear that the
Holy Ghost was known hundreds of
years before Christ was born.

HeinfzIeInan Will Boost for Alaska
 projetfs in 5iaies

Several projects for Alaska will occupy B. Frank Heintzleman fol- lowing his attendance at Pacific Northwest Trade Association meet ing in Missoula, Mont, next week.
 One of the main projects on which he will be working is es- tablishment of newsprint plant in Juneau.
 Hentzieman said he will con- tact various publishers in the states in attempts to interest them in such a-plant, which he said would produce between 500 and 600 tons of newsprint per day.
 Tt would be a big industry for Juneau, and all of Southeastern Alaska, if I can get group of publishers interested" he said
 In connection with this project, Heintzleman said several companies have expressed interest in running ferry system from Puget Sound and Prince Rupert to Juneau, Haines and Skagway to carry pro- ducts of the mill to eastern mar ketS.
 The ferry would be designed to haul railroad cars for newsprint loads and refrigerated vans and large trucks from the states to connect. with the Interior at Haines. Heintzleman said he has been in- terested in promoting such fer Try system ever since the Haines Highway was first considered.
 He added that he will also work on the Sitka pulp project which, he said, looks promising.
 Another objective of Heintzle- mans will be to get in touch with headquarters of. the Ketchikan Pulp Company which is planning to install dam, reservoir, pipe lines and big filtration plant to process water for the mill These installations will follow quickly the building of a wharf for the plant at Wards Cove.
 Heintzleman said he hoped to return to Juneau by October l, oi before dedicatory services for Ju- neau's Memorial Library. He has long been one of the main insti- gators and workers for this addi- ton to Juneau's civic life ano headed the committee which made the building possible.

Attorney General 0k's Salary of Boasd Manager

Ate ney General J Gerald Will ''iaaas -sday ruled that the Sl2,00o a year salary for George Sundborg, general manager of the Alaska De- velopment Board is valid
 Neil Moore, Territorial auditor, yesterday stated that he questioned the authority of thes board to set the general managers pay.
 However, Williams quoted a law of the 1945 legislature which gave the board authority to fix the sal- ary. The 1947 legislature amended the act and set the salary at $6,600. This was followed by action of the l949 legislature which boosted the sum to S7500. The last legislature repealed the 1949 law, thereby, Will Hams said, making the original l945 law effective.
 Sundborg, in statement today said the matter had been investi- gated before his salary was set and had the approval of the Attorney General at that time.

Truce Talk
 Resumption. Now -Hinfed

TOKYO, Sept. 13-tR-The Pei ping radio threw out a hint tonight the price for resuming Korean truce talks would be allied admission that all Red truce violation charges are true.
 The United Nations command has rejected all of long string of Red charges except one. It has ad- mitted the accidental strafing of the Kaesong neutral zone Monday.
 The Peiping radio quoted a Com munist correspondent at Kaesong as declaring:
 "The cease-fire talks could start again immediately and agreement could be reached in a short time if the Americans accepted the mili- tary realities" and took the respon- -sibility for all the alleged neutral ity violations.
 The LIN command for the moment was saying nothing. It would not even say what was in the latest Red note handed allied liaison officers Wednesday.
 The allied officers had just hand ed the Reds note apologizing for the accidental strafing of the Kae- song neutral zone by an allied B-26 bomber on Monday.
 LIN command has not made the Red note public. and has refused to comment on it.
