Mr.. Young, who on Oct. j
in the post the latter has held
annual banquet Of the 1861 null
Conference. He addressed crowd
Of more than 500 that overflowed
the facilities Of the banquet hall
More than 100 persons jammed the
adjacent corridors to listen to the
banquet speakers - Mr.. Young;
George LIP Weaver, assistant us
Secretary Of Labor, and Louis B
Settler, Editor Of The Cleveland
Press.
In his address, Mr., Young point.
ed emphaticaily to an urgent need
that I'VE must recognize also that
we are at war against apathy and
Indifference; that we are at wal
against naturalization, greed, sell
fishness and Ignorance"
He said that the years ahead are
a challenge to the League move
ment, that all America must I'M
derstand that the null Is engaged
in "a crusade for justice, for de-
cency, for morality, honesty and
franl1ness." It is a crusade, he
added, Ito put into operational
framework on a day-to-day, per-
son-to-person basis the American
creed and democratic promise"
"ours is an obligation, most i'm
mediate to the Negro citizen or
other minorities whom we serve,
but in the final analysis it Is a re-
sponsibility to America as 1t faces
its greatest hour Of challenge.
America - Capitalism, free en-
terprise (call it what you will)-
in the final analysis viii have a
meaning and attractiveness to
three-fourths Of this worlds popul-
alton only to the degree that the
non-white citizen in this country
shares equally in its opportunities
and rewards"
Mr.. Young said that he accepts
the responsibility Of the post into
which he will step on October i,
with confidence first In you, the
Urban League family, and, second
ly, in America, and In what I be-
heve to be the inherent decency
and good sense Of its people" He
said that he could think Of nc
more appropriate Interpretation Of
the Urban League movement and
its spirit at this point In history
than was expressed a century age
by william Lloyd Garrison, the
famous abolitionist, who said:
I'VE are in earnest; we win NOT
equivocate; we win not excuse; we
win not retreat a single inch
and we win be heard!"
Mr.. Weaver pointed up a need
for viewing the racial issues here
at home also In terms Of their
significance in international AT.
fairs. He said:
zone Of the larger burdens we
carry on our backs In our foreign
relations Is the problem Of racial
discrimination here at home. We
are dealing with approximately
fifty new countries that have be-
come Independent since 1945, and
we are living through a decade Of
REIMBURSEMENT OF the relationships
between Western Europe and ths
rest Of the world.

Safety Council Notes

Drownings have become the ma
tons No. killer over Fourth of
July holidays, the Delaware Safety
Council reported yesterday.
The No. 1 killer is highway acct
dents. Fireworks used to cause
many Fourth of July death, but ed
ucation of the public. plus prohi-
bition of their SALE. have resulted
in fewer deaths from fireworks.
I'VE need to do the very same
job of educating the public about
drownings and to urge everyone to
learn to SWIM" said j. II. Tyler
Mcconnell. president of the Safety
Council.
Delawareans head for the water
in ever-greater numbers for swim
ming. sailing, INCORPORATING, wa
ter skiing, fishing. and skin div
ing. And numerous drownings
have already occurred in Delaware
and nearby waters this year-al-
though the water sports season is
young.
The Delaware Safety Council
pointed to these facts on drown
ings:
/. Drowning victims usually are
non-swimmers or poor swimmers
and usually are alone.
2. Two out of three drowning
victims are more than IA years of
age.
8. Almost all drowning victims
are males.
4. Most of the victims of drown
ings aren't even swimming or
playing in the water.
The council gave these tips on
how to prevent drownings:
l. Learn to swim, and make sure
you're in proper physical condition
to SWIM
2. Never swim alone. Don't swim
at night or in unfamiliar waters.
3. Remember, it's not only SWIM
mers who drown. Be cautious any
time you're around water.
4. Keep an eye on youngsters
near water.
5. Don't swim when overly heat
ed or tired. or right after eating.
6. If you're in a boat and can't
swim well. wear a life preserver

Brace Young
Shade Trees

Young shade trees need bracing
for about two years following
planting according to Gerald Cole
acting Kent county agricultural ag-
ent. He noted on a recent call to
Rodney Village that several trees
were dying because of lack of sup
port.
A stake driven into the ground,
about one foot from the base of
the tree, will provide the support
needed. Fasten a wire loosely a.
round the tree and secure the wire
to the stake. Slip a piece of rubber
hose over the wire where it comes
in contact with the tree to protect
the bark.
Bracing prevents the tree from
swaying which damages the root
system. So help the tree get good
start in life by following the pro-
cedure outlined, and enjoy the ben
efits from the shade in future
years, says Mr.. Cole.
A bulletin entitled "Selective
Tree Planting" gives several other
management tips for the care of
trees, he concludes.

NEW TREASURER - Eugene
b. Bob" Pendleton. Jr., treasurer
of the Commonwealth of Virginia
since mid-1957, will join the staff
of Southern States Cooperative as
treasurer on July 1. He will sue
coed Kenneth r. Eckles who has
held the post since 194S and who
will retire from the cooperative's
service at the end of July.
Pendleton's resignation from the
Virginia state government ard his
decision to join Southern States
was made late last week He gave
as his reason the fact that my
family deserves the security which
this new position will afford" and
expressed himself as looking for
ward to the challenge and oppor-
tunity of working with industry"
In announcing Pendleton's ap-
pointment, Southern States Gen.
eral Manager w. t. Steele, Jr.,
cited his outstanding achieve
ments as Virginia state treasurer
and his intelligent and diplomatic
handling of the Commonwealth S
financial affairs"
A native of Louisa County, Vir-
ginia, Pendleton was first named
Virginia treasurer in 1857 by then
Governor Thomas B. Stanely to fill
an unexpired term. In 1858 he was
reappointed to full new term by
Governor Lindsay Almond.
Pendleton was first elected to
public office at the age of rs when
he became a member of the Louisa
county board of supervisors. After
World War III he served 10 years
as Louisa county treasurer, then
Joined the Virginia state tax de-
partment in 1855 as liaison officer
between the Tax Commissioner and
the county treasurers and COM
sioners of revenue throughout the
state
He attended Virginia Military In
stitute and Hampden-Sydney Col
lege and organized and operated
his own insurance business for
several years prior to World War
H. His war record shows three
and one-half years naval service,
during which he was cited for
gunnery work during the Norman
dy invasion and for training of
recruits in anti-aircraft artillery.
For 10 years prior to joining the
Virginia state government, he own
ed and operated a Louisa county
farm. During that period he was
member of Southern States Co
operative and became familiar with
operations and services.
Pendleton is married and the
father of five daughters. two of
whom are in college. He is ac-
tive in church. civic and social af-
fairs in the Richmond area.
Eckles, the retiring Southern
States treasurer, joined the COOP
erative staff in July 1886 as chief
accountant. He was named assist
ant treasurer a year later and
moved up to the treasurer's posi-
ton in 194S
