Local Boy Does Outstanding
Work In Aiding Other People

Here begins the story Of Frank
pinder which / shall have to carry
In at least three issues.
'The only kind of war we seek
Is the good old fight against mans
ancient enemies poverty, disease,
hunger, and iIliteracy."
The story which follows consti-
tutes a "battle report from the
continent of Africa, selecting as
an example, Liberia" !"
Almost ten years ago, work be-
gan in the little Republic of Liber-
Ia on the west coast of Africa,
which we now recognize as pilot
project for the Point Four Pro-
gram. Until recently most Ameri-
cans knew little about Liberia.
They may have learned from their
history books that it had been CO.
lonized by Negro freedmen from
the United States. Since then the
ties between the two countries have
become strong.
When the African settlement de-
clared itself an independent nation
in 1S47, it adopted a constitution
and governmental structure mo-
deIed closely after our own. The
official language is English though
most of the tribal people speak
their own dialects. In 1913, the
legislature sanctioned the use of
the United States dollar as Lii
beria's currency.
During World War II thousands
OF Americans passed through Lii
IBERIA on the way to North Africa
or the Middle East. A few hun
dred took part in building or
guarding the airfield and the free
port Of Monrovia. They and some
Of their fellow citizens back in the
United States began to understand
the importance Of Liberia in the
family OF democratic nations. The
African country that lies closest
to the shores Of Brazil Liberia is
a necessary link in air communi-
cations between the United States,
Africa, and the Near. East. Two
Of Liberals crops, rubber and red
palm oil, are strategic" materials.
During 1943, when our sources of
rubber in the Far East had been
almost entirely cut off, we received
$1,000 tons Of rubber half of our
supply from Liberia. Other pro-
ducts that are important are iron,
lumber, cocoa, and coffee.
After seeing some Of the work
Of American technicians, the Gov
ernment Of Liberia asked coopera-
ton in developing its country. A
United States Health Mission and
t5nited states Economic Mission
arrived IN the country in 1914. II
was the Economic Mission that
brought Frank Pinder to the coun-
try and set him on the first of
his many expeditions to villages
and tribes deep in the jungle.
When Pinder came to Liberia
he observed that the country did
not grow enough food for its popu.
lation of around a million people.
He knew that most Of them did
not have enough to eat to keep
them healthy. He found out that
there was a hungry season" dur
ing which starvation came very
close to many people. He went

Will Speak At
Douglass School

Mr.. Rogers Terry, son of Mr..
Edward Terry and the late Mrs.
Avis Terry, arrived in the city on
Monday, December 22nd from Hal
ii via New York City.
MIR. Terry attended Douglass
High School through the 7th grade
after which the entire family NOV
ed to Boston, Massachusetts where
he completed his high school
course at the Roxbury Memorial
School.
Mr.. Terry was an Episcopalian
by faith until 1888 when workers
for the Watchtower began calling
on him. He was inspired by their
talks and in that year accepted
the faith; continuing in same until
1941 in the city of Boston. Grow
ing daily in the faith as preached
by the Watchtower, he moved to
New York City.
In New York City, Mr.. Terry
bace a Pioneer in witnessing for
the Lord.
In 1916, he moved to Norfolk,
Virginia where he continued wit
Messing for the Lord and winning
converts to his belief.
Growing stronger in the faith
day by day and desiring to be
better prepared to witness for the
Lord, Mr.. Terry went to the Watch
tower College in South Lansing,
New York. After completing his
course, he was then sent on a
circuit through the states of South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida. He
remained in this area until 1949
when he was sent to the Negro
Republic of Haiti.
Life in the Republic of Haiti was
quite an experience for Mr.. Terry.
Nothing but a true love of God
and his fellowmen could have
made him endure such hardships.
A Watchtower missionary is CIV
en- nothing but his food and shelter.
He must provide the other neces-
sites of life through his own in
genuity. You can imagine just
what a task this must be In a
country like Haiti where poverty,
ignorance, and superstition pre-
vail.
To hear Mr.. Terry speak Of
poverty, the ignorance, and super
stition that prevail there would
bring tears to your eyes. One could
hardly believe that people so close
TO the greatest country Omitted
States) on the face of the earth
could be so different. Their reli-
gion is one that they brought from
Africa. 1t deals with superstition
and the continuous invocation of
evil spirits. Yet, even under these
conditions, Mr.. Terry was able to
win converts to Jesus Christ and
to eke out a living for three years
(1949-1952).
In talking with Mr.. Terry, was
forced to say, Here is one who
remembers his Creator in the days
of his youth"
Now in Key West, on a short
visit, he wants to speak to you
on a subject that has the whole
world troubled, ''What Has Hap
pened to Morals?"
This lecture viii be given In the
auditorium of Douglass school on
Sunday, December 28, 1852. Doors
will be opened at 1:3O p. m, but
the meeting Zone hour in duration)
will not start until 200 p. m.
Won't you come out and hear
him? promise you that your time
will not be wasted. He is one of

ROtarianS Hear How
 Credit Based on Character Starts Dunn & Bradstreet

, Back in 1841 a. group of busi- nessmen met in New York City and agreed that the fast-growing West would have to pay cash for the materials needed to build their towns and start new farms, when one of the leading business men said he knew many whose word was good and could be trusted. He was willing to let all businessmen everywhere know about such traders and merchants people whose word was good. Then, other New York houses agreed to turn over their lists of good business risks, and so was born Dunn and Bradstreet, firm that reports men of character who can be trusted to make good.
 To be on their report as a good risk is real honor, and this system of business confidence has helped to make America the pro- ductive genius that it is.
 It was at Rotary's noon lunch con, and besides the training film on business and character, the Rotarians received their Charter for Nome's Rotary-sponsored Boy Scout Troop. Those who are the troop committee and received, or will receive committeeman certi- ficates are: Jim Mclean, Don Hurlbert, Sam Mogg, Erickson, and institutional representative A. Polet. Pete Hahn is the Scout master.

The conference issued a four

been translated in several lang
uages, White agreed that it has
become chief propaganda wea-
pom used against this country,
The only thing the United
States can do, he said, is to ad-
NIT in all humility that the most
of the charges made in this book
are correct. They should further
admit that the congress and the
various branches of the govern
ment must be more active in help
ing to wipe out these undemo-
cratic practices.
About rs or so percent of the
material included in Patterson
book is documented, stated White,
and most of the facts were obtain
ed from non-Communist and anti
Communist sources. The charges
made in this Civil Rights Con-
gress publication will be diff
cult to answer.
More Publicity on Progress
The speaker claimed that more
should be publicized regarding
the progress which the country
has made toward granting equal
opportunities for minorities. He
said ne had done magazine arti-
Gle relating the progress which
the Negro has made in this Coun-
try during the past few years,
and had been asked to compile a
book on this subject.
He said he wished the Voice of
America could do a better job
toward publicizing this informa-
ton, but each time it puts on a
broadcast favorable to Negroes
in this country, some Of the Dix
iecrats in congress threaten to
cut off its appropriation.
