is becoming increasingly aware of
the Importance Of the contributions
made by colored people to higher
and brader standards of social con-
cepts. In an apparent reference to
the recent Supreme Court decision
outlawing segregation in the public
schools, the Emperor said, Events
of recent days, here in the United
States, have brilliantly confirmed
before the world the contributions
which you have made to the prin-
ciple that all men are brothers and
equal in the sight Of God"
In reference to Howard Univers-
ity, which was comforting its 147th
honorary degree since the practice
was started at the institution in
1874, the Emperor said, "You have
reason to be proud of the role
which you are today playing in the
life of this great nation and l
count it an honor to receive from
you this high academic distinc-
ton"
In his citation to the Emperor
on comforting the degree, DR.. John
Son paid tribute to him as "the
long aforementioned voice of the
conscience of mankind"
DR.. Johnson told of the Emper-
or's plea for collective security to
the League of Nation prior to the
Italian invasion of his empire in
1885. When the nations there as
sembled would not heed you and
the ruthless aggressors had at
length overcome the heroic resist
ance of your people and had driven
you into exile"
The Howard president said, "you
never bowed you soul to that
brutal might, but with persistent
devotion and unwavering faith you
continued to work for the liberia
ton of your country, until by the
help Of the very nations to whom
you had spoken at Geneva, you
brought yur people back to free
dom from aggression and laid be-
fore them an open pathway to self
determination and self-government.
May God bless your Imperial
Majesty" DR.. Johnson concluded,
land may He continue to make
you a blessing to the people of
Ethiopia, to the whole of Africa,
and to the world"

In August of 1852 Ward and

less than two years later, they

From the meager beginning in

tackled was one worth 100000,
which is the Sea Oatel at Nags

GIRL SCOUTS AT
BUXTON SEEKING
CAMP FUNDS
Outer Banks Troop To Send
Girls To Summer Camp
At Bfount's Creek

At recent meeting of the Troop
Committee of the Girl Scouts in
Buxton, it was decided to begin a
campaign to raise funds to send
as many as possible of our Girl
Scouts to camp this summer. The
cost for one girl for a two week
period is $40. Since it is not posi-
BILE for some of the parents to send
their daughters at this price, the
purpose of the fund is to make it
possible for all the girls to have
an equal chance to attend camp.
The girls to go will be chosen
impartially by the troop committee
and the leaders, the number de-
pending on how much money ac-
cumulates through the campaign.
The camp chosen is Camp Hardee
located at Blount's Creek, N. C.
1t is on the south side of the Pam
lico River, IL miles from Washing
ton. 1t is owned and operated by
the Greenville Girl Scout Council.
The cost of $40 includes insurance
which covers the girls from the
time they leave home until they
return. Mrs. Sue Williams has vol
unteered to provide transportation
to the camp and back. The program
activities consist of swimming,
boating, archery, campcraft, out
door cooking, nature, tennis, music,
and badminton. The experience will
undoubtedly be of much value to
each girl in the years to come.
''The Girl Scout Troop consists
of girls from Buxton, Salvo, Ro-
danthe and Frisco, and to our
knowledge it is the only Girl Scout
troop in Dare County," says Mrs.
jeanne Tharpe of Buxton. "There-
fore, it is hoped that this appeal
for funds will reach out to the
communities of Manteo, Wanchese,
Nags Head, Kitty Hawk, Kill Dew
il Hills and all our other neighbor-
ing communities. 1t is felt that
there are people and organizations
in these communities who are in
terested in scouting and would be
able to give something to make it
posi- ..s, some of these girls to
att !" Mrs. Tharp contin-
ues %s ior-to-door or mail So
licits will be made unless this
appeal through the newspaper
fails"

of the troop committee and the
leaders. Contributions may be sent
to any of these people at Buxton,
