NEGRO WOMEN SET SIS
MILLION GOAL FOR
BETHUNE MEMORIAL -

WASHINGTON, D. c., (ACNS) =
A resolution establishing a goal of
one and one-half million dollars was
UNANIMOUSLY adopted last week by 10
affiliate presidents of the National
Council of Negro Women for the
erection of a memorial honoring
the late Mrs Mary Mcleod BethunS.
This Conference was the first of
series since President Eisenhower
signed a bill authorizing the memo
rial June lSt.
Dorothy |. Height, president of
the Council, told the leaders re-
presenting $4,000 women that such
a memorial, first to honor a Negro
in the Nations Capital, would be a
fitting tribute to the woman who
organized the Council IS years ago.
Each organization president or rep
reSentative made brief reports of
heir groups program which included
women activities in every state, the
Caribbean, and Africa.
Meeting at the Standardization
Hotel, the women discussed methods
of financing the historic proposal
which would consist of a memorial
and an educational center. The
women leaders stated the Center
would be dedicated for the archives
and educational achievements high
lighting contributions of Negro
women in American life. People
from all walks of life and differing
backgrounds Will be asked 10 con-
tributs funds for the erection of the
memorial.
Marion Jackson, treasurer of
NCNW's Educational Foundation,
told the leaders about Mrs. BethuneS
faith and how she started the famous
Bethune- Goodman College with $3.50
and five girls. She urged the presi-
dents to ask every member of their
affiliate organizations to contribute
at least as much for the "Bethune

land is fundamental Ownership of
the land entails a responsibility to-
wards it. Out of such responsibility
national character is made.
You will ask, but how is the Negro
to own land? Well, | have been
making enquiries. There are still
great areas open to demonstrating in
the west, and Negro is as eligible,
if he is citizen, as a white man, to
homestead.
Ii seems 10 me that we should put
our roots down into the Soil-not

HOUSING
Mrs. Ria Potter

IL Is SAlO LQat SOClctyS WOSt Hi
portant investment is in its people, in
education, health, housing and other
public works.
Ten years ago Congress of United
States established as the immediate
goal of the nations housing policy
'adecent home in a suitable environ
ment for every American family:
Yet today nearly one-fourth of all
dwellings in which some Is million
families are forced to live are below
minimum standards for decent living.
Good homes for low income groups
are still an unmet need.
In the face of continuing housing
shortage, for two successive years a
majority of elected representatives in
Congress have been opposed in their
efforts to enact moderate but forward
looking housing legislation, which
pro-housing forces supported: In 1888
inactment of a construction housing
bill was blocked by a reacuonary
group in the house rules committee.
The President twice vetoed housing
legislation passed by substantial
majority vote in both houses of
Congress, which forced enactment of
a less adequate bill.
There's an urgent need for expand
ed housing Only improved low-rent
public housing program can provide
the opportunity for ordinary people
to obtain a decent place to live, and
within their means. The spreading
alums in large cities points to an
urgent need for an overall housing
program. The poor and delapidated
dwellings which many elderly coupes
and other individuals are forced to
live are a disgrace to our Nauon'si
concience.

the right to live in decent homes,
because of their race, creed and color.
These americans need a good home
and good surroundings Negros and
other minority groups should be given
a chance to obtain on an equal basis
with all other families, new houses,
built with the aid of federal funds,
low interest, long term loan, credit
or any other type of financial assist
ance.
America has the skilled man power,
the materials and the equipment and
the financial resources to assure
every family of low income the
opportunity to obtain decent home
whether they can rent or buy a
home. The Nations policy should
make an attempt to assure conStruc-
ton of at least two and fourth mil
lion houses a year for the low income
group.
The fair housing practice legiSla-
ton adopted by a number of states
and cities, have helped to encourage
the policy and practice of equa
opportunities in housing; but the
Federal government must also
assume the responsibility 10 provide
equal housing to all families withou
regards to race, creed or color. The
national housing programs should be
directed to the major share of The
new houses constructed be made

FRANCES WALTERS SPEAKING


Tonight | am going to bring up a
matter that has been troubling me a
lot, especially because | don't know
a heck of a lot about it. | mean
farming.
The NAACP and other organiza-
tons have talked a great deal recently
about the right of the Negro 10
white-collar jobs on equal terms with
the whites, and we all know that the
Negro population tends to be concen-
trated in the cities.
Yet the strength of any race Is IN
the land Why have we Neglected the
land?
There are many reasons. A century
and half ago Negroes we're import
ed into America to slave or the land.
They plowed the cane and cotton
fields on which this country originally
became great. But they didn't own
the land. They were slaves, laborerS.
Since slavery was abolished, IT
there haS~been hard, heavy, muScu-
lar Job to be done in this country
and there have been many-they
have called on the Negro to do it.
And naturally, many Negroes who
go TO college have thought of white
collar jobs, rather than the land,
with their heritage of slavery they
would rather be doctors or dentists or
lawyers or businessmen than farmers.
There is a deadly parallel in this
to the story of the Jews. Originally
the Jews were agriculturistS. Then
persecution forced them into the
ghettoS.. They were forbidden to own
land. So they became, instead, the
worlds money lenders, bankers,
jewelers..
But the Jews were still, at heart,
farmers, and for more than tlfty
wears now they have shown it in
Israel. And the fact that the Jews
have returned to the soil is the great
est thing that has happened to them.
1t has given them back racial SOUL
Now, we Negroes have been forced
j.. by nearly identical circumstances INTO
the cities. In the southern states,
few of us own land, and some OF us
lease it. All of the agricultural land
of the southern states is worked by
us. Except for the Negro, there
: wouldn't be any cotton or sugar
harvested.
But that is in the South. What OF
the West? was raised in Oakland,
There are, according to the latest
figures, about 10000 Negroes IN
, Oakland and San FranciSco-the Bay
Area generally.
California is a state of farms. The
economy of the state is based on its
agriculture.
How many Negroes own farms II
California? How many Negroe
attend the University of California
Agricultural schools at Davis? don
have the figures. I'm asking you. Blu
to my notion we, as race, are over
looking a big thing, something tina
might mean more TO us than eve
civil rights.
You see, cities are artificial. Tn

understandable beat.

IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
THERE IS HERE, in St. Croix what is known as the
Camp Of the Living Word in ST. Croix, Y. T. This camp
is located, we understand, in what is known as New
Town, and is run by Cliff and LIE Ellen Bubar, who give
their address as Box 637, Frederiksted, ST. Croix.
IN "A RECENT newsletter, aimed no doubt at Sc
curing funds for the operation Of the camp the sponsors
describe the young people and children Of this island in
the most devastating terms possible. Can you picture
they wrote, children constantly living in the surround
ings of cursing, Witchcraft, adultery, gambling and rum
drinking families !"
THERE IS EVERYTHING wrong with this type Of
effort. Like so many who are on the lunatic fringe of re-
lgion, these souls, perhaps Wellintentioned, see them
selves in the role OF saviors dedicated to the task Of re
deening lost humanity. They have little or no program.
They see things only in the xtreme-dannation for
humanity or salvation only through their efforts. These
people think Of themselves as martyrs.
THESE MISSIONARIES see only that they were
sent BY the Lord to save our people. But in order to
make their own efforts seem important and staggering
these people paint the blacklist and most disparaging
picture possible. Not only do they do this to satisfy their
cWn sense Of ego, but to eapfnanca help through sym
pathy from would-be contributors on the mainland.
"A YOUTH CAM is a wonderful thing. Planned
and carried out by expert social workers and councillors
the programs Of camps offer supervised recreation,
bandicrafts, instructions and the like. But these pro-
grams are not to be gone into OH a h~itandmiss basis, or
started by people who see only that those for whom the
camp is formed are victims of the devils own handi-
works.
