Survey Of Negro Market Reveal
Buyers Want Top Quality

NEW YORK, N. Y. - There are
nearly 100000 Negroes in the
United States, most of them earn
ing and spending money. This is
having an important impact not
only upon the nations economy but
upon those business and industries
that are tapping purchasing power,
according to correspondent of The
Christian Science Monitor, Harry
c. Kenny.
BY the same token, this group of
people is growing to understand
the Importance of its purchasing
power and the increasing role it
plays in the affairs of business and
industry.
One of the major misconceptions
held by most is that the NEGRO
market" is low priced. Surveys
have shown that this is not so. Ac-
tually, when the majority of Ne
groes buy they buy very high
quality whether it is clothes, au-
tomobiles, food, houses, or furni-
ture. They also purchase large
quantities of high-priced staples
and Injuries.

Vet. Administration Gives Dead|ine
Dates For Korean Veterans

Veterans Administration today
issued checklist of deadline dates
before which eligible veterans of
the Korean conflict period must act
if they wish to take advantage of
certain benefits.
Most of the headlines resulted
from the Presidents proclamation
setting January 81, 1866 as the
end of the Korean conflict period
governing eligibility for the bene-
fits. The conflict period began
June II, 1850.
One of the most important dead
lines NOT affected by the Presi-
dents proclamation requires that
eligible veterans who wish to go
to school or train under the Korean
CT Bill must start training within
three years after they leave service
or forfeit all further rights to the
benefits.

Lutherans Plan
Special Lenten
Services

The Rev. B. L. Thompson, pas
tor of St. Phillips Lutheran
Church located at Montgomery and
Dalton Streets, said that for CEN
turtles the Christian Church has set
aside the six weeks before Easter
as a period of special preparation.
Beginning with Ash Wednesday
and continuing through Good Fri
day, it has obserped what tradi-
ton has called "closed season."
But why observe Lent? Why q
special period of preparation?
That all depends upon what sig
nificance we attach to the great
Christian festivals of Good Friday
and Easter.
Pastor Thompson further said
That the Christian religion is built
upon the rock bottom fact of
lChrist's atonement. 1t teaches
that on Good Friday, some 1900
