Eighteen colleges and univer-

the Southern Association of Col

the business session of the As
sociation on Thursday, Decem-

fifteen senior colleges and uni
versities and three junior col

This action of the Association
approving full membership for
these schools eliminated an ac-
tive and continuing interest in
education for Negro youth on the
part of the Association dating
back more than twenty years.
In the late thirties, the ASso-
citation appointed a committee
to supervise the activities OF
the colleges for Negro youth and
to begin the task of helping
these schools meet the same

DOUBT AND UNBELIEF

Christ never failed to diStin-

belief. Doubt is can't believe:
unbelief is won't believe. Doubt
is honesty; unbelief is obstinacy
Doubt is looking for light; un-
belief is content with darkness.

citation of its members.
In 1851 when the Association
felt that these schools were
nearing the minimum excellence
required of it's members, a. grant
was obtained from the General
Education Board to make an ex-
haustive study Of each of the
xty-three colleges for Negro
youth. These studies have con-
tinued since that date, and the
action just taken is a recognition
of the educational achievement
of these Negro institutions. BY
admitting these institutions of
full membership, the Association
puts itself on record to the eff
feet that the college education
possible at these schools is equi-
valent to that offered in its
other member institutions.

Proper Transplanting, Thinning
Improve Home Garden

Proper Transplanting, Thinning
Improve Home Garden
Proper transplanting and thin
ming of plants in home gardens
will help get them off to a spod:
start this summer, says Robert
F. Stevens, extension horticultur-
list at the University of Delaware.
Tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, caul-
ifiower, eggplant, broccoli, and
other plants are usually trans
planted for earlier maturity. But
transplanting always sets the
plants back, so care is needed to
lessen shock, he points out.
The night before-or at least a
few hours before transplanting-
water the plants thoroughly. If
the plants are to be removed from
a fiat, cut out each plant va lh
as much soil as possible. Then set
each plant a little deeper than i'll
grew in the fiat. Press the soil
firmly around each plant in a
