Greenville, Ala. - Bishop B. F.
Gordon, who is leading the drive
to build Lomax- Harmon College, To-
Gated here and sponsored by the
AM.E. Zion Church, left here this
week to reorganize the drive,
throughout the country to complete
the F. w. Alstork Administration
Building which will serve long
felt need at the college.
The college serves a long felt
need in this section of the state
and even though there has been
much said about the educational
advantages that are opening for
Negroes in the south, he who visits
this section of the state will soon
discern that real college will
mean much to the thousands of
Negro children around Greenville.
| Philanthropists and benefactors
are invited to visit the school which
is located about one mile from the
heart of Greenville and takes pride
in the fact that even though found
cd in 1893 with little money, dedi-

school department was recently
dropped and the school now serves
as the only institution of higher
training for the many children who
graduate from the county high
school, located few feet from
the college. The feature that sets
the school out is the fact that it
offers courses in religious educa-
ton that no other school in that
area offers.
! It's faculty boasts of graduates
of some of the leading colleges of
the country. Bishop Gordon came
here to complete final arrange

busy taking the walls of the ALL

for the top has been purchased
and is upon the ground. Both

Giants Sell Artie
Wilson To- Seattle

NEW YORK - Slightly aging
Artie Wilson, about the best all
around shortstop ever to bloom in
the Pacific Coast League but just
super-numerary as far as the
pennant winning Giants are con-
cerned, was sold to the Seattle
Rainiers last week for an undis-
closed amount of cold cash and an
option to buy outfielder Kay Char
iton at the end of the '52 season.
Wilson had been the big star,
big stick, and big box office of the
Oakland Oaks for two seasons when
the Giants picked him off last year.
But in 10 games with the Giants
he gathered in only four hits in
% tries for a sad 1872 average.
Wilson claims to be 20, but like
Satchel Paige has been going a
long time.

The story begins in 1907, when

on their sharecrop farm in South
hampton County, Virginia. AS the
years pass, the farm prospers,
there is tidy nest egg in the

them, Leah VOWS, would have an
education-maybe even go to high
school. Then disaster strikes.
One night the farm is totally
destroyed by fire. Then, as the
Youngs strive to rebuild from the
ruins, their life savings are swept
away in bank failure.
How this undaunted family tri-

manages not only to send their Ia
children to high school-but also
to put most of them through col
lege-is revealed in a heart-stir.
