SOMETHING FROM NOTHING

There are many unforgivable
wastes in American homes. Mate
rails of decided value are discarded
or thrown away without consider
ing further possibilities in use for
the owners or for others.
Take mems shirts for example
The fabric is usually superior and
The back and tail are often nearly
as good as new. There is ample ma
terial for little boys pants, or little
girls dresses. aprons or sun suits.
Mothers of little children will be
most grateful if relatives and friends
viii give them shirts. Fathers of
small children would be wise to buy
two identical shirts SO as to have e
nough for any style OF perhaps a
brother and sister suit.
Mems trousers make amazingly
good looking skirts for teen ayers
or even small wives. They are turn
ed upside down and worn spots thus
removed. Such garments must be
ripped carefully. To pick off loose
threads after ripping use flat rub
Der sponge. If the garment is to be
washed after ripping, it is well to
stitch the pieces around the edges
to prevent stretching and raveling.
Woods shrink and stiffen if strong
soap is used.

HEREDITY AND
ENVIRONMENT IN HEALTH

The health of any individual re-
fleets the forces of his heredity and
his environment.
Inherited traits, transmitted in
the genes of the cells of both par
ents, determine the particular kind
of human that will result at birth.
Heredity affects vitality, intelligence
and the tendency toward certain
diseases.
Acquired characteristics, develop
ed by an individual during life, can
not be- inherited. But acquiring a
trait often depends on whether the
individual possesses the inheritance
hat will permit such development.
Environment also has an effect on
a persons health. just as mosqui-
toes and malarial parasites may
cause disease, or poor crops can re-
suit in starvation, so can customs
and superstitions play important
roles in compromising health.
For instance, regional health SUI
perstitions can have serious effects
IN health through false impressions
of the value of such procedures.
These include practices in some
areas of placing platain poultices on
cuts or wounds; of treating a head
ache by tying an onion on top of the
head, of relying on suffer and molas-
ses as spring tonic, or thousand
and one other remedies.
The inheritance of good body is
of first Importance to health. How
ever, the subsequent role of both
physical and social environmental
factors can determine in large
measure the difference between
healthy. happy lives and unhappy,
short and more tragic ones.

CHICAGO (ANP) - AL
though Liberia was colonized by
American Negro freedmen in 1920
and declared its independence in
1847, many of its economic prob
lens were not solved until during
World War II and the arrival of
a us. mission on health and eco
nomicS.
With the mission came Frank
Pinder, 35, native of Key West,
Fla, and a graduate of Florida
Agriculture college. Pinder was
well equipped for his work in
Liberia. He had worked with poor
Sharecroppers in the Everglades,
taught at Tuskegee institute and
served as an economist in the
Farm Security Administration.
Pinder was not only an expert
enced farmer and teacher; he also
was a diplomat who knew how to
get people to cooperate in doing
things.
In Liberia, although there was
an abundance of farmers and farm
land, Pinder soon observed that
the 100000 inhabitants were not
producing enough food to keep
themselves healthy. His first eff
fort was directed toward removing
this situation.
A plan submitted to relieve this
acute problem gained the sup
port of the government. Pinder
renovated the produce and poul-
try market.
When he first arrived in Liberia
onions sold in the market for five
cents each and cabbage for one
cent a leaf. Now you can buy
onions and cabbage for a few
cents a pound. The same thing
happened to tomatoes, rice, sweet
potatoes, eggplant, sweet peppers,
corn, string beans, cucumbers and
many other products.
One of his most successful ex-
periments was with the chicken.
"The cmekens were pretty
scrawny," Pinder said, "and the
eggs were SO small you might
have thought they came from a
robins nest"
The mission and the Liberian
government, with the cooperation
of the Booker T. Washington In
Stitute, imported several hundred
giant roosters from the U. S. With

tunity to help the institution enlarge

During the early '30s, a similar
appeal for coupon contributions was
made. The response was so gener'
Gus that the cash secured saved the
school from tragic financial embar-
rassment at that time, and was di.
rectly responsible for the beginning
of one of its largest buildings -
Trades Hall.

these, Pinder and his co-workers
began breeding big, meaty chick
ems that produced big eggs.
Soon news of this improved
chicken got around and Pinder
agreed to sell them to lacal farm
ers provided they would feed
them according to rules he had
impossible for Pinder to get many
worked out.
Wartime restrictions m a d e il
of his supplies, so he started by
throwing couple of bags of seed
and some light tools on his back
and disappearing into the jungle
with Liberian helper.
AS a visiting diplomat Pinder
could have commanded the best
for his transportation. This would
have included when travelling on
land a hammock slung between
four bearers, and on water, a
canoe with someone else to do the
padding. However, in seven years
he has never ridden in a ham
mock or been padded. Sometimes
he goes by air or jeep, but most
.ly he walks.
Travelling in swamp lands has
given Pinder his share of tropical
diseases, such as malaria, and
dysentery.
"But they don't give me much
trouble anymore he said on a
trip to Washington for consulta-
tions in July. eve have lots Of
better medicines now"
Along the trails, worn through
the low jungles and the higher
ground of the "hinterland" by
generations of Liberians, Pinder's
usual costume was a white shirt,
khaki pants, and heavy work
shoes.
A stocky figure of medium
height, he swung along with an
easy stride, thin wisps of smoke
drifting from the pipe he invari-
ably had clamped in his teeth.
He made friends with the
people. At every village he came
to, he went to the palaver house,
which was also the guest house,
and presented himself to the
chief. During the ensuing dis
cussion, he turned the conversa-
ton to crops, seeds, and methods
of cultivation. People who lived
close to- hunger were always in
tereSted in this.

NAACP BEING
REBUILT IN FLA.
MINIS. FLA, SEPT. 4

MIND, La, OIdI l.
Forward steps in rebuilding the
NAACP in Florida have been
taken recently with the organiz-
ing of new groups in Green Cove
Springs, Holly Hill, Center Hill,
and Lake Worth, and with the
reviving of old branches in st.
Augustine and Palatka.
The initial effort in Green Cove
Springs was made on the 3rd
Sunday in July, when Harry I.
Moore, executive secretary of the
Florida NAACP, was invited to
meet with group there. Officers
elected were: Acie Strong, presi-
dent; Mrs. Ola Mae Berring, sec
retary; Mrs. Annie L. Small,
treasurer. Application for char
ter has been made with 62 mem
bers. On this same Sunday Secre-
tary Moore spoke to large audi
ences during morning and night
services at st. Mary Baptist and
Shiloh Baptist Churches in st.
Augustine, where committees were
appointed to solicit memberships.
Reorganization of the branch was
completed on Aug. 10Th when
solicitors reported AZ full mem
berships and IL partial member
ships. Officers elected were: Ellie
Smith, president; Oscar Turner,
vice president; George Davis, sec
retary; Leonard Adger, treasurer.
The state secretary also has
helped to organize NAACP COM
mittees in Lake Worth and Holly
Hill with 16 members each. Lake
Worth officers are: Archie Pat
rick, chairman; Rev. I. A. Banks,
secretary. Officers at Holly Hill
are: Timothy Gadson, chairman;
Mrs. Elsie Peterson, secretary.
Capt. l.. E. Hall, chairman of the
5th District, recently organized a
committee at Center Hill with IA
members.
The first effort to revive the
Palatka Branch was made on July
81, when the state secretary spoke
to about 125 veterans at the night
school under the principalship of
Joseph Green. Seventeen veter-
ans paid dues then, while SO
others pledged their memberships.
Other Florida branches organ
lied this year are Eustis, Liberty
City, and Homestead, while pro-
gress has been made in reviving
the NAACP in Alachua County,
Apopka, Clifford, Oviedo, Boyn-
ton Beach, and Dunnellon. Efforts
also are being made to revive
branches in .LeeSburg, Crescent
City, Cocondt Grove, Stuart, and
KiSsimmee, and to organize the
NAACP in Dania, Bunnell, Alta
monte Springs, and Boca Ration.
Persons interested in organizing
or reviving the NAACP in their
communities are urged to write
