Miss Cornell is about to make

right for her. This will be the
role of Florence Nightingale.
based upon Mrs. g. Woodhan-
Smiths best-selling biography OF

Miss Cornell, an actress of rich.
discriminating enthusiasms, says
of the volume and of her purchase
of the screen rights to same: This
biography, one of the most in
teresting I ever read, makes me
now eager to act the role OF Flor
ence Nightingale. 1t is a rich
and tremendous story, one that
would be difficult to produce on
the legitimate stage, and seems
to me to require the larger pano-

It will be a nice moment for
Miss Cornell and her old admirers

not plays for such actresses as
Miss Cornell, Helen Hayes and
Ethel Barrymore who also are
in the movies now, or for Tai

POWER.
This program will create and
help others create = more employ
ment for Negroes in occupations
and services where they can be-
come more productive. We are
telling defense industries to make
up manpower shortages by using
new workers from the 100000
able Negro men and women who
will not have an opportunity to
serve their country in uniform.
The Memorial can mobilize many
of these workers in the communi-
ties where they now are, in new
shops and plants that we estab-
lish and operate. We can train
them in woodworking, garment,
fabricating and processing plants.
These plants will be on subcon-
tracts to supply other manufac-
turers who need more production.
Our operations will be under ex-
perienced engineering manage
ment to insure high standards and
low costs.
These plants, erected in war
time, can be easily converted to
peace-time manufacturing and
processing. Thus Negroes won't
suffer for lack of employment af-
ter the emergency.
S E c P will create II more man

Such benefits will be new tri-

Self Reliance

"Do more - Have more"
We realize that only one out of
100 Negroes completes four years
of college; four out of 100 COM
plete high school; nearly half of
100000 Negroes are of fifth
grade status. Educators know that
this is too little preparation for
general self-reliance. We have
faith in the educators for develop
ing our coming generations.
Booker TT. Washington Birth

THE NEGRO OF TODAY. We
know that the skilled workman is
a free man - that with pride and
self-reliance many problems van

Booker T. Washington
This is the 95th year since
Booker T. Washington was born in
a slave cabin on the Burroughs
plantation in Franklin County, Vir-
ginia. Historians place his birth
date April 5, 1856, and here at his
birthplace, we have celebrated this
Gay for the past six years.
AS is our custom, the Anniver-
sary celebration begins the Sunday
before. On April 1st, over one
thousand people came here to be
inspired by DR.. Mary Mcleod
Bethune, Congressman Thomas b.
Stanley and Judge A. H. Hopkins.
1t was a dual ceremony; the first
part was devoted to the unveiling
of the name panel on a new three
story building, to replace the one
burned down last December; and
the second part, aside from the
formal installation of Mrs. Vir-
ginia H. phillips as permanent
Postmistress, was based upon the
theme "American-Self Reliance" :"
The present national emergency
requires reappraisal of our posi-
ton as American citizens; our
rights under the Constitution; our
way of life in a democracy; our
responsibilities as citizens; and our
preparations for sacrifices in a
total war. if that becomes a reality.
In World War I, we as group,
were the least prepared to shoul-
der our share of national respon-
sibilities. It is true that in the ac-
tua1 fighting. our soldiers, sailors,
marines, airmen all acquitted
themselves with distinction.
On the home-front, we were not
prepared. Some of our leaders
preached about integration into de-
fense industry = yet very few saw
the necessity for adequate large
scale development of the required
skills among Negroes. In times
of stress, the nation or private in
dustry doesn't have time to train
enough manpower to meet the
needs of our tremendous war-mak-
ing potential That reservoir of
skilled craftsmen must come from
the schools and colleges. It is OBJ
vious, if we aren't constantly try
ing to interest young people in
this type of training, then, when
necessity arises when war is
eminent, and production must be
accelerated to meet military re-
quirements - we will be left be-
hind. All the hue and cry will avail
us nothing, because we are not
prepared. 1t usually takes war
to make us realize how misguided
we are.
In the current emergency, we,
at Booker T. Washington Birth
place Memorial have launched a
