Eta moten
Establishes
African Literature
Center

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala,
Apr. 26.-(SpeciaD-In formal
exercise in the George Washington
Carver Museum here last week
singer Eta Moten Barnett present
ed to Tuskegee Institute initial
gifts of books and literature to
form the basis of an African Lit
erature Center.
The books, representative of a
variety of studies and reports on
Africa, also include much of the
fiction which has recently been
produced with an African locale.
A dozen newspaper and magazine
subscriptions from West Africa,
East Africa, South Africa and Lon
don are included.
Miss Moten in a brief talk ex-
planned her awareness of the grow
ing interest in Africa on the part
of people in America, but said she
had discovered how little factnal
inform alton was available. She
hoped that many gifts of books
on Africa, African magazine and
newspaper subscriptions might be
added by friends to help the col
lection grow.
President Luther H. Foster in
accepting the gift said he felt it
would make available the nucleus
Of a research center on Negro life
which would have an enriching eff
feet upon the total services which
Tuskegee Institute renders.
DR.. Ruth c. Sloan, for the past
II years in charge of the African
desk in the information section of
the U. S. state department, told of
the Importance of Africa in world
affairs today. Mrs. Sloan is the
publisher Of African News, a news
letter designed to bring firms and
individuals specialized information
on Africa.
The curator of the Carver Mu-
scum, Mrs. B. B. Walcott, remarked
that the new center would supply
g ready source of information for
replies to the scores of questions
asked every day about the extern
sive African exhibits. She felt
further it would furnish an almost
inexhaustible source of material to
graduate students in the field of
sociology and history.
Miss Moten and her husband.
Claude A. Barnett have previously
given generous collection of At
rican carvings, art and weaving
which were added to the impress
i've assembly of Africana which
the Carver Museum has received
over a period of years.

Health Insurance


one neartWarming story in the
news IS the report that the
number Of Americans with Yolun-
tary health insurance protection
has passed the record breaking 100
million mark This news comes
from the Health Insurance Council
along with the announcement of
hnai results on its eight annual
survey on the extent Of health in
surance in the United States.
The growth Of voluntary health
Insurance during the past decade
has been spectacular, to say the
least i Is not only that more and
more people are obtaining health
insurance, but also that they have
an eYer-Widening variety Of policies
and plans from which they can
select the protection best fitting
their own particular needs and de-
sires.
Sc far as the effectiveness Of
health insurance goes. statistics
alone cannot tell the whole story.
But they are a good Indicator. Last
year for instance. health insurance
benefit payments jumped 20e6. Ac-
cording 70 the survey, the total
payments by ell kinds Of insuring
organizations exceeded $2.5 billion.
10 Is interesting 10 note that In
surance companies provided $3.50
Of this amount. Blue Cross and
Blue Shield type plans paid 87g6,
and various kinds Of independent
plans accounted for the remaining
79oOf the total.
All ia ALL the Councils survey
figures indicate that the competitive
system and the voluntary, free
enterprise way are serving the
American people well in the matter
Of health insurance. The figures
also seem 70 foretell continuing
progress for the f0reseeable future.
SpurTed on, no doubt by the "do-
it-yOurself" enthusiasm, this new
plastic mOdel-building craze has
spread over the entire country with
Fecord-breaking speed and is
towering most exOtically in the
smaller cities and towns. For in-
stance. the manufacturers were
puzzled at the tremendous demand
from Main Street for their Naval
vessel kits until their Navy friends
in washington, whom they contact
for blueprints and authentic de-
sign data, explained that the major
ity Of enlistees have always come
from small towns.
And so dear reader, you and

Fifty years ago the friars Of

friends or relatives, we bury him
in our own cemetery. God alone

their despair and encouragement,

Our Cynthia Trips
Over A Used Car
by CYNTHIA LOWRY
AP NeWsfeatures Writer

II anybody really wants to learn
quickly about the difference be-
tween a buyers and a sellers mar
ket, he should buy and then sell a
used car.
Last spring a naive, dewy-eyed
woman, who had never haggled in
the Casbah, strayed into the marts
of great city in quest of a used
car. The woman who shall be
called Cynthia, wanted a jalOpy, a
bargain heap good enough to get
from home to railroad station of
mornings and back at night and
to patrOnize the supermarkets on
Saturdays.
Naturally, Cynthia wound up pay
ing twice the budget ALLEGATION for
q long, black vintage vehicle which
consumed approximately one gal
Ion Of gas per foot Of locomotion,
but had-Or so the custom-tailored
salesman suavely assured her
brand new white walled tires, an
extra big, powerful new battery,
and had been the treasured possess
sion of a retired couple which used
it only once a week for slow Sun
day drives around, the park.
Milford chronicle., 1954-12-17

something less than half what she
had paid for it.
Cynthia has a couple Of pieces
of advice for other women who. not
knowing gasket from a firing pin,
must acquire used cars:
A used car is a handy commod-
ity only when used for a trade-in
on (a) a new car or (b) another
used car The best time to deal in
used cars is when a dealer is try
ing desperately to rid himself OF
the stock at hand-i. e. just before
the new models come out.
Never get into a position where
you must sell a car in a hurry.
Never pay attention to either a
buyers or a sellers line of chat
ter. After all, if you can't sell it.
you can always. abandon 1t.
Never brag about a bargain YOU
think you've bought, and you'll
never have to confess what you
sold the bargain for.
Keep away from used ears.
