Money Matters

son get the idea that to-day
there is a fight from the dol
lar?
According to the July, 1857.
Monthly Letter of the First
National City Bank of N. Y,
THE United States dollar has
been an anchor of stability
for friendly nations which
hold their currency reserves
in dollars. A policy which
acquiesces in creeping infla-
ton invites at some point a
run from the dollar with all
the evil consequences involved
in such a crisis of interna-
tional confidence"
A study by Fred Klopstock
of the Federal Reserve Bank
of N. Y, shows that the nom
dollar world has been putting
more and more of its hard
currency reserves into United
States dollars and less and
less into gold.
Dollars earn interest while
gold does not, and with
interest rates in N. Y.
around 3 per cent, this
is an important considera-
ton. Secondly, dollars are
more convenient for making
payments, as gold is costly
to move. But mainly, the CEN
trail banks of the world clear
ly no longer believe that the
price of gold is going to be
revalued upward. If they did
they would hold it.
1t turns out that the dollar
is not only as good as gold
but some think it is better.
Even our worst enemies
have a healthy respect for
the dollar even if their pic
ture OF its use is quite dis
torted. The Soviet publica-
ton New Times said: THE
average American seems to
be indifferent to politics. &.
Parents who want to see
what sort of career their
child is likely to follow place
a dollar bill and a bottle of
whisky before it. II the child
picks UP the dollar. that is
good sight will grow up to
be a Woodworking and pros-
porous citizen. 1t 1t reaches
for the bottle. it will most
likely grow up a confirmed
drunkard. One baby grabbed
the dollar bill and the bot
tie and the mother ex-
claimed: Good Lord. he'll be
a politician"
I see a lot of running down
Of the dollar but no runaway
from 1t.

England Convention.
Highlight of the four-day con-
vention, termed the greatest in re-
cent years, was the educational
message delivered on Thursday
evening by DR.. j. H. Jackson of
Chicago, President of the National
Baptist Convention, U. S. A., Inc
Speaking before more than 1000
delegates and observers, DR.. Jack
son ripped those who "have the eff
frontery to use the principles of
local and national laws to imple-
ment their prejudices and to pro-
tect their own traditions of seq
regation." The national Baptist
leader said:
"The Federal Constitution pro-
vides for the civil rights Of all
citizens-the right to work, the
right to security, the right to the
best possible education, and the
right to vote. No individual or
group should be allowed to inter-
fere with these rights of all Am
erican citizens"
DR.. Jackson, who drew cheers
and applause from the throng more
than 20 times during his address,
stressed the fact that fright think

rights and are not clamoring to in

The reporter agreed not to in

he would consent to a picture being
made with the reporter, his Sec
retaries interrupted to refuse.
Father Divine seemed much thin
ner in the face than when he made
his last public appearance.
Rumors that he had died are
nothing new in Father Divine's ca
reer. They crop up every now and
then; in the past he frequently
has answered them by making
dramatic appearance or by inviting
reporters to see him.
Two Negro weeklies in Philadel-
phia and some New York news
papers and one radio station re-
ported the Grace statement with
varying degrees of speculation, and
the New Day, his weekly news
paper, has reported few current
interviews.
Divine even missed the annual
celebration of his wedding ami
versary in April. A tape recording
of his voice was played in a brief
greeting.

the New England Convention, and
stressed that annual sessions would
include Institutes and workshops
on civil rights, new religious trends
and responsibilities in the light Of
national and world affairs, and es-
pecially on the use of passive re-
sistance to gain first:class citizen
ship for all Americans.
The delegates came from Wash
ington, d. c., Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Con-
necticut, New York, Massachusetts
and Rhode Island. Three state con-
ventions sent official messengers. !"
The Women's Auxiliary to the
convention held sessions at the Mt.
Lebanon Baptist Church, while the
Church School and Baptist Train
ing Union Departments held ses-

delegation to attend a New Eng
land Baptist Convention in the
past 20 years.
The new officers were installed
at the closing session by the Rev.

Brooklyn's Berean Baptist Church.
The delegates, at the suggestion

hailed by Baptist leaders as the
most progressive ever undertaken
by the historic convention. Dr..
Smith set up new Department of

monthly Convention Newsletter

the convention, and that he would
work towards the publication of a
convention newspaper and maga-
zine, "all designed to effectively
tell the Baptist story, and bring
credit to the entire Baptist family
in America"
DIR. Smith said other important
committee and departmental ap-
pointments will be made in the next

join in a harmonious pursuit of
their end
American Education Week Acti-
vities were climaxed with an as
sembly on Friday, November 15,
1857. The program was under the
guidance of our American Educa-
ton Week Chairman, Mrs Beulah
D. Wylie. Features of the assembly
were the discussion of the daily
topics as suggested by the NEA and
Group singing of selections con-
sidered appropriate for the cele-
bratiOn. 1t was concluded that
through high moral values, the ac-
ceptance of sponsibility and bet
ter community relationship the
theme ''An Educated People Moves
Freedom Forward" could be reali-
zed. 1t was very gratifying to see
parents visiting our classrooms
and observing the daily activities
of their children during AEW. We
regret that the daily working
schedules of many parents pre-
vented their visiting the school. ,
AS a follow-up of American Edu-
cation Week, "Open House" was
held prior to the regular P.TA.
meeting on Monday evening, No
vember 18th. Parents were given
an opportunity to visit their child's
hOmerOom and meet the teacher.
They were able to see some of the
activities their child had engaged
in and could inquire about the
various problems and conditions
surrounding their child's adjust
ment. The response to this part of
the program was very satisfactory
and we believe that the parents and
teachers became better acquainted
and informed which will result in
better adjustment for all persons
concerned. We hope to continue
this program as we feel it is a
means of establishing better par
ent-teacher relations.
Tne members OF our P.T. A. were
presented with a very timely and
educational panel. This activity
was arranged by our Home Eco

the number of graduates from
Nursing Schools. She elaborated on
the steady growth in population,
and the increasing life span, as two
of the vital influencing factors in
the continuing growth of the num-
ber of hospital beds in the national
picture. This growth in beds and
the overwhelming field of endeavor
for the graduate nurse ale causing
the dire shortage of Nursing Per-
sonnel.
She outlined for the group some
of the present plans of the State
Careers Committee, mentioning
especially a planned Rally Day, in
Wilmington, in January, and the
forthcoming Careers Day, in Dover.
She emphasized that the days
meeting was aimed at giving the
school nurses an opportunity to
tell the hospital, and it's training
school, how it can help the school
nurse to help the Training School
Miss Cover presented an outline of
methods in which the school nurse
can be of assistance: e. g., organ
izing clubs for future nurses, talk
ing up nursing as a career, con-
Quoting Recruitment Programs,
placing cartoons and posters on
bulletin boards. She then outlined
ways in which we feel we can be
of assistance in these programs;
e. g., Having hospital people speak
to the students, showing slides,
having student nurses available
for students tc consult with, news
paper releases, and spot radio an
nouncements.
A new set of slides showing the
student nurse in action, both in the
Nurses Home and the Hospital, was
then shown to the group. This was
followed by a tour of the Nurses
Home and the hospital with Miss
Cover making the final suggestion
that the school nurses consider
ways in which we could be fur
ther assistance to them, while they
were watching the slides and max
ing the tour. On completion of the
tour. the school nurses were given
an opportunity to make such recon-
mendations. This program was then
followed by a buffet supper for the
nurses and hospital people who
were present.
