THE NEED

Savings and Loan institution has long since been
dire need in the central Negro district of this fasgrowng
metropolis of Miami The unusually large number of
counts Postal Savings in this area is than
indication of this fact Even greater than this is the lack
of participation the part of the Negro in the total life
as banking and financing. Long overdue demands for
sum clearance and for better housing in general
Negroes dictate the need for lending institutions shorn
of the negative attitudes and apathy which white in
stutions many times accord Negroes in the deep South
These institutions must be within easy reach of those of
whom they serve.
Psychological Advantages
To be contributing part of particular culture, all
groups must have the feeling of belonging We must be
prepared to any worthwhile level with feeling
security growing out of ability to produce these
levels How else gain this ability except through
the practical application of the technical demands for
service which vitality affects us? Absence of this
'knowhow" may we'll make of the Negro a liability
rather than asset
Substantial and Capable Applicants
By the application made to the Federal Home Loan
Bank signed by three Negroes and four white men,
The Negroes are Rev. Edward 7. Graham DR.. Nathaniel
Coston and Mr. Otis D. James
The white men are: Mr.. Randy Polansky, Mr.. George
Simon, Mr.. Ben Lond and Mr.. Jack Cohen.
The selection of b-racal group a smart move
since large part of the job for will be educational
The white has the greater skill in banking and is
therefore needed for what sabZing influence he can
give This lack is fault of the Negro but rather our
inability until now to breaks of opportunity in the
stolid walls of tradition and custom Of must
want these opportunities. And when sincere and honest
efforts are put forth to obtain Them decisions from the
chartering agency must be made the basis of simple
justice.

other task which they alone can
perform.
