Alabama State
College Observes
National Negro
Newspaper Week

"The Negro press leads the fight
to remove the inconsistencies of
democracy" declared William Cor
don at Alabama State College
where he addressed an assembly on
Thursday.
Gordon, managing editor of the
Atlanta Daily World, was the
guest speaker on the occasion of
the colleges observance of Ma
tional Negro Newspaper Week.
The speaker gave a historical
background of the present-day Ne
gro press, tracing its growth from
Freedoms Journal founded in New
York City in 1927 to the big met
ropolitan weeklies and the two Ne
gro dailies now being published.
He paid a tribute to Frederick
Douglas and to other abolition
lists for their contributions and
wildly described the wide scope
and function of the press.
The speaker, who has been a
Nieman fellow at Harvard Uni
versity, was presented by DR.. L. D.
Reddick, chairman of the depart
rent of history and longtime
friend. Devotions were conducted
by the chaplain of the freshman
class, Miss Birdie Oldom, of West
Blccton, and special music was fur
nished by the reed quartet and the
brass octet of the colleges
After the assembly, conferences
were held with students interested
in job opportunities in the area OF
journalism.

Thrift, Good Management, And
Sound Credit Got This coIored
Farm Family On Its Way

1t took IL years of sharecropping
for Mr.. and Mrs. Horatius Gray
of Moro, Ark, to save up enough
to buy pair of mules and become
cash renters, but after they they
were on their way.
Today, the Grays own a 160-
acre farm, a modern home, and a
fenced pasture of "a acres for their
cattle and hogs. They have accomp-
lished all this within the past few
years through increased produc-
ton, good management, and credit
aid from the Farmers Home Ad-
ministration of the U. s. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gray were mar
ried in 1884 while he was employed
as farm hand. Within a few
weeks he quit his job and they
started sharecropping a few acres
of cotton, hoping to earn enough
the first year to buy a mule and
begin farming as cash renters. But
it took them until 1915 to put
aside enough to purchase work
stock.
In the fall of that year they
paid $3.50 cash for a pair of mules
and made arrangements to rent IS
acres for the next years cotton
crop. Three years later they had
the down-payment for the 160-
acre farm they now own.
The couple had five years to
pay out, but did it in four. How.
ever, the old house on the place
was beyond repair, much of their
land was in woods, and pastures
and fencing were needed for live.
stock. They knew at the rate they
were going it would take long
time to make these improvements
Yet their seven children were
growing up and needed a better
home, and production costs were
rising too, calling for increased
efficiency.
So Mr.. and Mrs. Gray decided
to try to get a loan to make these
improvements. Finally they applied
to the Farmers Home for q loan
after they were unable to obtain
adequate credit elsewhere. Within
q short time a farm development
loan was approved for them.
Since that time, they have built

Change Inevitable
Progress Gods
Will, Tennessee
Staters Hear

NASHVILLE. =" Change is in
evitable; progress is the will of
God / challenge you to be
ready" DR.. John w. Davis told a
capacity audience last week at
Tennessee State University.
Comparatively sponsored with tbs
National Urban League and its To-
Gals, this was the university's
sixth in a series of career confer
ences designed to assist students
in developing the necessary per-
sonal, technical, and professional
skills essential for careers in COM
merce and industry, Government
and the professions, and to help
them gain a clearer understanding
of labor relations in these careers.
The Urban League has been a
prime factor in each of the con-
ferences. William V. Harper, the
university's coordinator of indus
trial relations, is the director.
This is the best yet" said SEN
iors, many of whom had been in
volved in three of the career con-
ferences. "Charting the Course"
was the general theme. Freshmen
and sophomores had three class
group sessions built around deci-
sions for a career and choosing q
vOcati0ns respectively; while the
junior-senior group went into three
discussion periods of specific spe-
cialized fields. There were also
individual conferences where job
interviews were held.
The venerable DR.. Davis, talent
study director of the Phelps Stokes
Fund, New York City, was one of
| the galaxy of speakers, along with
131 consultants from large and
small firms, Government, and the
professions who participated in
the 'three-day meet. AS closing
session speaker, he gave the sig
nificance of the conference, pic
! turing for students the $4,000 job
categOries from which they may
! choose and prepare to enter. "But,
you have got to have a skill that
you can SELL" he said. In re-em-
phasizing the Importance of edu-
cation, training, and other attri-
butes which must be possessed in
order to maintain a place in the
world of today and tomorrow, he
pointed out that regardless of what
we hear, and what many people
think, Indignation is coming . d.
America is not going backward
In all of this confusion and
strife, the question is whether or
not we are going to lose this de-
mocracy >. America is not going
to lose she is going forward
You must prepare for the
change which will evolve in the new
world"
"Your most priced possessions
are your God-given Abilities" Chi
cago's c. Rodger Wilson, super
visor, service office, Illinois State
Employment Services and national
president, Kappa Alpha Psi Fra
ternity, keynote speaker, told the
conference. Improved by train

ment, and motivated by the ne

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Stopping in one of my
favorite Fish and Beer places, NJ.
and some fellows got to talking
about Negro businesses and bust
ness methods they use. AS it hap
pened, / had just had an expert
ence with one that had put me to
thinking on the general subject
The other day | walked int one
of our folks places and bought
cigar, and asked for match. The
boss man told me he didn't have
any matches open. When | asked
him to give me a match the second
time, he told me, when ! bought
them cigars, didn't nobody give
me nothing" Then he told me he
didn't give no matches with cigars.
Since then, have gone in a num-
Der of places | hadn't gone in be-
fore to buy cigars, just to see if
| could find that this is the only
place you could buy cigar and
they wouldn't give you a match.
From my efforts, find that this
is the only place in town. Here is
an instance where a match given
to a customer is means of ere
ating and perhaps maintaining
good WILL" yet this Negro bust
ness man, the only one | have dis
covered in town would rather take
the time to explain his rules than
to give a couple of matches for
the good will of his business and
patrons. Now, when | want a
cigar and am out that way, will
hardly stop by his place, and that
will be true of lot of cigar smok-
ers. Maybe though, it would be
better to say as the monkey said
to the elephant: "My people, my
people,"
