Women Launch Program For
Retarded Negro Children

The Roanoke Chapter of
National Council of Negro
Women was organized two
years ago for the purpose of
promoting worthwhile &C
tivities for the Improvement
of community life.
AS you perhaps already
know there are some chill
'dren in our community who
are mentally retarded and
who should have special
training and special class
room . provisions made for
them. To date no provisions
have been made.
The most important things
needed now are first, at
least three hundred dollars
($300) for a six weeks train
ing course for an interested
teacher approved by the
Roanoke City School Board.
This training is a must for
such a DrOprau1.
Second we need a special
ly equipped room for these
children. The National Coun-
Gil has pledged it's support to
this great cause. 1t has as
it's financial project a Getty
Wide Bazaar" to be held on
February Fl, 1855 at the
Orange Avenue YWCA. All
proceeds from this effort
will be used for the training
of a teacher and for the
equipping of a room for the
mentally retarded children
We are asking all women
who are interested in this
great cause to be present
at the Gainsboro Branch Lii

time had come with the new

said. "MRA transcends diff

The leaders of about 80
of the Chapters of NAACP
centered around Selma, AL
ALBANIA, and surrounding
counties, took a militant
stand against an attempted
boycott this week. G. w.
Boynton, a Negro insurance
executive, had been advised
to sever his relations with
the NAACP and to cease any
active participation in their
affairs. This re refused to
do. In an effort at reprisals
the councils of the four
counties involved, dallas,
Marriage, Hale and Perry
warned Negro taxi drivers
that they should buy their
insurance from some other
agency (other than Boyn-
ton's) or face a possible re-
vocation of their licenses.
When the announcement
had circled around, Miss
Ruby Hurley, southern di.
rector of NAACP, sent out
a directive to all branches
affected, to apply similar
reprisals against all council
hackers. "Waging economic
campaigns or any attempted
boycott can be a two way
street." said Miss Hurley

use economic pressure first
upon those Negro represen-

itself to those individuals.
Others who have asserted
