tourists this interesting historic
spot during the centennial" Mr..
Chinn declared. 81 have been in
formed that your State Park Com
mission hopes to have the island
developed as d museum and recrea-
tional area, and certainly we hope
you can join Us in this venture.
Delaware Memorial Bridge could
be designated the peace bridge and
become the Gateway 10 the South
! for this four-year enterprise TO let
the people of our country know that
we have grown into a wonderful
area, industrially. economically as
well as from a Tecreational stand
point
This will also afford an oppor-
tunity to teach history at new
level" Mr. Chinn continued. Here
we have the famous places; the
records of their past achievements
and the contributions made in weld
ing a great nation, so that today,
we look upon them as a new source
of educational material, TO be seen
as well as studied"
The All South Congress presl-
dent also pointed out that thousands
of tourists will want to see the
various places where their fore
fathers may have been active in the
War Between the States. The four
year centennial will provide ample
opportunity for such exploration.
1t was pointed out at the Del
aware Memorial Bridge Anniver-
sary by w. Emerson Wilson, presi-
dent of the Fort Delaware Society,
that many famous personages from
southern states were held as pri-
soners at Fort Delaware from 1853
to 1865. He felt that Delaware's
participation. in the centennial
should fall in August of 1868.
These southern gentlemen in
|carcerated at the fort were pretty
we'll received in our area" Wilson
pointed out. There is. ample evil
dence of that in a letter written by
men from Virginia, and Kentucky
upon their release.
Mr. Wilson quoted from the letter
addressed to ''Kind and Benevolent
Ladies of New Castle, which said
in part: 1--WE leave here tomorrow
morning for our homes in the Sun
ny South to join our families and
friends from whom we have been
separated for many long and weary
months.
1--WE hail this great privilege as
an oasis in the desert of life, and
now, kind ladies, we bid you an
affectionate farewell, perhaps never
to see each others faces on the
shores of time, but hope to meet
whre joy and happiness reigns su-
preme."
Among the Delaware Memorial
Bridge guests for the anniversary
occasion beside Mr.. Chinn were
Robert Nelson, Richmond, Director
of the Virginia Travel Council; Rob-
ert Lutey, American Automobile
Association. Washington, d. c.; and
James L. Bossemeyer, executive di-
rector of the National Association
of Travel Organizations. The latter
organization is assisting in the pro-
motion of the All South Centennial.

Wisconsin combined. Their num-
bers exceed the total population of
Canada. Their purchasing power
exceeds in value the total volume
of goods exported annually by this
country.
Urban Concentration
In the past decade the income of
the average Negro family has
more than quadrupled. There has
been a sharp increase in those en-
gagged in professional, semi-pro-
fessional, and managerial occupa-
tons. Families have one to four
supplementary incomes.
The Negro market is heavily
concentrated in urban areas which
means it is a market easy to
reach. Census figures show that
so per cent of the Negro popula-
ton is located in key cities. And
to this can be added that during
the last 10 years, the Negro has
made more progress than in all
the 80 years since emancipation.
There are some interesting high
lights developing over what is
known as the Negro market"
Businesses of all kinds and indus
tries of every type are seeking new
ways to "tap" it. Yet not many
Negroes like the term Negro mar
ket. There are many reasons.
Basically the Negro does not
want to be set apart from all
other Americans. They want o
become an accepted part of the
whole economy. While in a broad
sense they constitute nation with
in nation and cities within cities
with their own race "nationalisms"
and loyalties, they are seen differ
ing little from the units of Italo-
Americans, Instantaneous, or
observation-disclosures.
What the advertising world is
finding out is that to sell to the
Negro market it is vital to re-
member that it is a distinct yet
well-integrated part of the Amer
lean scene. There are we'll over
100000 Negroes in New York
City alone. What this means to
business can be spelled out with
just one item.
Mean Income Rises
AS long ago as 1910, 90 per cent
of New York's Negro families
owned radio sets. During the last
decade this figure has increased to
a point close to saturation. This
means a substantial support to
New York's radio business inter
ests.
How to reach the market? Tide
magazine in a recent study of the
Negro market stated: "The smart
advertiser, regardless of the me-
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1955-02-26

dunn, does not backslip, talk down
or up to his potential customers.
Rather, the successful Negro ad-
vertiser has found what Negro
advertising representatives have
been trying to tell them for years
that the market is there rich
and willing; it wants only to know
what companies want to trade with
it and are making concerted eff
forts to do just that"
What some of these things mean
is that as the Negro economic
status is improved then the ma
tons economy benefits. Essen
TALLY Negro desires and purchases
differ little from other races. The
trouble has been the Negro ur-
ban population earns between
$4,000 and $4,000 year.
The Negro market is high con-
sumption market for many con-
sumer goods. Studies in typical
markets show that per capita"
consumption of many products is
higher than that of the white
population. Why is this so? The
Negro with money to spend has
fewer ways of spending it than
the white person. There are ave
nues of spending which are closed
to him, or which he shuns, or
which are impractical for him. The
result is that he spends more on
certain categories of consumer
goods
The Negro market is being tap
ped by most Of the leading Ameri-
can industries in Negro newspa-
pers, magazines, and radio in all
of the "a major Negro markets
of the country. Some of the COM
panies include RCA-Victor, West
inghouse, ESQ Standard Oil, Sin
clair, General Motors, Chrysler,
Heinz, and Maytag.

Africans, Whites
Criticize Reforms

BLANTYRE, Nyasaland CAMP
Africans as we'll as white leaders
criticized series of constitutional
reforms proposed last week for
the colony my Gov. Sir Godfrey
Colby.
AS far as the Africans were con-
cerned, the reforms didn't go far
enough. The whites thought they
went too far.
A group of leading Africans
meeting here, rejected the proposed
reforms as inadequate and called
instead of equal representation be-
tween Africans and whites and
Asians.
In Salisbury, South Rodesia, the
leader of the opposition Confeder-
ate party, said the reforms accent
ed the waning of white influence in
Nyasaland and threatened diff
culties for the recently formed
Central African Federation, of
which Nyasaland is a part.
Opposition leader John Dendy
Young said that "a Gold Coast
state seems to be emerging" in
Nyasaland.
The proposed reforms would al
lot five seats on the protectorate's
Legislative body to Africans, who
now hold only three. Whites and
Asians would have six council seats
between them.
The protest meeting by the Afri-
can leaders reaffirmed a stand by
the Nyasaland African Congress
for equal council representation
between Africans and immigrant
races"
A resolution at the meeting said
the group was convinced that fed
eral government influence had
caused the "inadequacy of the re-
form proposals" 1t reiterated At
fican opposition to the federation
of Nyasaland with the Rodesians.

We ought to remind you that
citrus fruits are a good buy right
now. It used to be that having
oranges in the house was a rare
treat, however, now they are at
a price that we can hardly afford
not to have them. They are an
excellent source of Vitamin C.
Vltamin c is the only vitamin
that cannot be stored in the
body, therefore, we have to eat
the required amount of Vitamin
c each day. One orange each day
will give you this required
amount. An apple should not be
substituted but should be eaten
in addition to the orange because
an apple has approximately only
one half as much Vitamin c as
an orange. Don't forget, citrus
fruit is good buy and is good
for you! Give your family
plenty.
