Day.
Speaking upon the topic of ''The
Experiments Contribution to
Human Relations" Mrs. Favors
began her speech by explaining
that "you've got to be taught to
hate and fear, you've got to be
taught to dislike another person
because of his race, color or
creed"
"One of the worst aspects of
the world today" said Mrs. Fa-
vors, ''is segregation. Segregation
ultimately leads to sterility, and
eventually to ignorance"
Referring to her recent trip to
Europe as member of an inter-
racial group of college students
under the sponsorship of the Ex-
periments in International Rela-
tons, Mrs. Favors observed that
cit is surprising to learn what
conceptions some Europeans have
OF people in the United States"
'tSome of those conceptions, she
explained, fare very erroneous,
but their conception of race is
not"
Mrs. Favors paid a fine tribute
to the Experiments in Information
al Relationships, and declared that
it is doing much to dispel inter-
national misunderstanding and
will bring about relationship on
the iternational level.
Mrs. Favors also gave some
very sound advice to the young
people of this and other areas.
She recommended that they in
vestigate the opportunities for
travel education. She advised that
they get behind the various lead
ers of the community in an effort
to have them establish scholar
ships for deserving students.
LIN closing, she emphasized the
fact that the move for scholar
ships and travel education On the
part of the young people of the
community should be an obses-
sion, ,tAnd if it is an obseSSion,"
she concluded, let it he a mag
nificent obSesSion."
It was very practical address,
filled with much information and
common sense, and was well re-
ceived by most appreciative
audience.
