FAMILY TREE.

MISS II. G. T., Washington
To Mrs. v. H., Washington.
who wants to trace her family
tree: One place to begin is
the local history and gene
alogy room on the fifth
floor of the Library of Con-
gresS Annex. I have done
quite a lot of amateur re-
searching along that line. for
my own family and others,
during the past few years and
have found it extremely in
teresting. If Mrs. v. H. would
contact me through the RICH
would be delighted to give
her more information about
the resources of the genealogy
room and other places.
My own family and most
of the others I've looked up
are of New England descent
and easier to trace than those
from other sections, but. al
most any one who has names
and places for two or three
generations should find some
trails. There are also the
census records in the Archives
Building which are often help
full, and also the OAR Library.
There is a genealogical society
which has meetings open to
every one once d month at
the Mount Pleasant Branch of
the Public Library. If one
gets away from Washington,
many State libraries and hiss
torical societies often have
local records not always avail
able here. The OAR, in my
home State of Maine has done
q good deal Of valuable work
in copying and making avail
able old town records of births,
marriages, ETC., and ! imagine
that the same has been done
In other States.
If you are near the Public
library or a branch, Doane's
"Searching for Your AnceS-
tors" will furnish some ideas.

Urges Stronger
Education
Institutions

CHARLOTTE, N. C. - DR.. F.
d. Patterson, delivering the prin-
cipal address at Johnson C. Smith
University's 87th anniversary April
z, urged educational leaders to
strive for stronger institutions of
higher learning regardless of the
decision of the U. S. Supreme
Court on the segregation case now
before it.
In his address DR.. Patterson said,
These private institutions as well
as public institutions now serving
Negro youth must be made strong
to enable them to carry the larger
responsibilities they must assume
in the future. No matter what
the Supreme Court may or may
not decide, we shall need all of the
strong institutions of higher learn
ing we have, although we hope the
time may soon come when they
will serve youth without regard to
race or creed"
In paying tribute to Johnson c..
Smith University, DR.. Patterson
said that tribute must also be paid
to those pioneers over the nation
who have brought colleges for Ne
gro youth into being and made
possible the educational services
through which Negro Americans
have become substantial contribu-
tors to the growth and development
of the South and the nation.
