AFL-CIO To
Provide For So
Negro Families

The AFL-C1O has announced
that it will provide subsistence
money through the growing sea-
son to SO Negro families in Fay
cite and Haywood Counties in
Tennessee. S ecretary Matthew
Lynch of the Tennessee State
Labor Council, who will administer
the program for the national or
ganization said, these checks will
go to farmers who have land to
work and have been given crop
loans by volunteer groups but are
unable to get their usual run
money from customary sources"
Run money" is that needed by
farmers for the maintenance of
their families during the period be-
tween planting and harvest.
Local committees have checked
and verified the needs Of those
applying, according to Lynch. The
amount will vary from $50 to 500
a month depending on the size of
the family.
The SO families who will receive
subsistence checks represent more
than 400 individuals. They are
among some TOO who had been
subjected to an economic boycott
because they registered to vote.
Many are tenant farmers who were
faced with eviction. A federal
court ruling halted the evictions
but it could not guarantee the
farmers that they would get land
and the capital for working it.
In announcing the AFL-CIO's
grant, Lynch said, Our aim is to
help those who want to stay in
counties where they have lived all
their lives and who want to do the
only work available to them"

Fine Leader To

In the British West Indies dis
elimination is based more upon
class and economic status than on
color"
During his first two weeks in
America, he ate at a plush res
taurant in a swank neighborhood
but later learned of their discrim-
mating policy. Another incident
that helped Father Carly to learn
first-hand about discrimination in
America was his experience with
the manager of the Grant Hotel in
New York. Answering a newspap-
err advertisement for a hotel clerk,
Father Carly went to the manager
and applied for the job. The man.
ager laughed at his holiness, but
later gave him a job as elevator
operator. Father Carly said, II
learned after working at the hotel
that Negroes were not hired as
hotel clerks"
Father Carly served two years
in England and France as a chap
lain in World War II. He attained
the rank of Captain. Upon release
he pursued a degree in education
at Xazier University in New Or
leans, La. Before deciding to con-
tinue his ministerial career, he &C
cepted the principleship of an ele-
mentary school in Michigan.
Asking what challenges must a
person going into the ministry be
prepared for, Father Carly said,
You must love people. You must
be willing to serve people without
any hope of enumeration. He con-
tinued.
You must stress a commitment
, to God. If a man believes in God
you will have a person who will
help the church, the community
and the people"

Minnesota Notions
No. ! Buffer Sfufe
TeIenews Asserts

Minnesota Is the nations num-
Der one butter state-even though
Wisconsin has long made a big
thing about being the Dairy
State"
This is only one of the rather
surprising facts about our state
that highlight a special Mime
sofa Progress" edition of Telenews,
the m on thly publication that
Northwestern Bell sends to all its
telephone users each month.
More than 100000 copies of
Telenews are going to Minnesota
people," c. D. Gietzen, Division
manager, said today. The first
copies of this special six-page edi-
ton are now in the mail and all
of them will be delivered within
the next 80 days"
In outlining the facts about what
makes Minnesota's economy tick,
the Telenews story points up the
dramatic changes of recent years,
some familiar and some less so.
Agriculture is a big factor in the
states economic picture-57 per
cent of the acreage is in farms that
produce 10 different agricultural
products worth $1,4O0, 900, 900 per
year. Actually, a fifth of this is
from milk and cream. Minnesota
is number one in dry milk as well
as in butter production, number
two in milk and number four in
cheese. Minnesota farms are also
big producers of sweet corn, flax,
oats, turkeys and hogs.
Telenews reminds that it was
only six years ago that the new
processes to use taconite went into
use. Steel industry investments
amounting to a billion dollars have
been added to Minnesota's economy
since then.
The availability of water has al
ways doomed big in Minnesota
history. 1t has recently taken a
new turn as Duluth became an in
ternational port with the st.
Lawrence Seaway opened to ship
traffic. Overshadowed by this is
the phenomenal growth of river
transportation, such as movement
of $4,000 tons of grain from Twin
City ports.
Telenews gives credit for contin-
ued industrial growth - with all
that this means in new and better
jobs for Minnesotans - to such
factors as geographical location,
natural resources, transportation,
ample utility services such as cleo
tricity and water, excellent COM
munication facilities Northwest
ern Bells growth dollars in Min
nesota this year will exceed $40
900, 0OO), adequate labor supply
and the fact that Minnesota is a
good place to live.
Additional copies Of Telenews
are available for telephone users
who want to send them to friends,
relatives and business associates
in other states. Extra copies may
be obtained at the telephone bus
mess office.
