Dr.. Sherman L. Greene, Jr. Gives Report
On Campbell Colleges Founders Day
And Financial Status

AAC oUSCi v dIlCe Vi L OuIlQ-
ers' Day at Campbell College
in Jackson, Mississippi, was
one of the most impressive
and significant events in the
long and glorious history of
the college. More than 700
were in attendance including
a large number of visitors
from out of the state.
Highlights of the assembly
were the financial reports,
including reports of the presi-
dent and business office of the
college, and the address of
the principal speaker, Rever-
end P. B. Walker, DID,, pas
tor, Emmanuel A. M. E. Chu-
rch, Portsmouth, Virginia.
The sermon topic was at
Am A Debtor" DIR. Walker
reminded the assembly that
we are debtors to Christ and
the founding fathers of our
church and our country, and
as christians and American
citizens are under universal
obligation to extend the fell
lOwShip of the church and de-
fend the rights and privileges
guaranteed by the federal
government under the Consti-
tuition of the United States to
every citizen without regard
to race, creed or national orr
gin. The response was so
deeply impressive that Bishop
Frederick D. Jordan, Presid-
ing Bishop of the Eighth Epis-
copal District and Chairman
of Campbell Colleges Board
of Trustees remarked that it
appeared the choice of key
note speaker by the Found
ers' Day Committee was guild
ed by providence.
The financial reports total
ing nearly $4O,00O.OO were
more than any sum raised
on this occasion in recent
years. Included in the reports
were $37 500 reported in a
meeting of the Presiding Ed
ers, ST, 026.00 by the faculty
and students, and a donation
to the college of $4,000 by
the Methodist Church for sup
port of efforts to provide train
ing for students expelled from
Burglund High school, Nc
Comb, Miss, for participation
in student demonstrations
protesting racial segregation
in the public schools. Inspired
by the donation of $1,026.OO
by the faculty and students
the assembly responded to a
challenge to match their con-
tributions with a spontaneous
offering of 100000.
The donation to the college
of $4,000 by the Mississippi
Conference of the Methodist
Church was presented by Mrs.
Claire Collins Harvey and DR..
S. L. Webb, an alumnus of
the college. Mrs. Harvey con-
graduated the college for
their contribution to the cur
rent struggle of the Negro in
Mississippi for full rights,

This AcquitaI A
Verdict OF Faith

CHICAGO, Ill. - A former
Mississippi doctor, who lived
in Mound Bayou, Miss, sew
eral years ago, and moved to
Chicago to make his home,
DR.. T. R. M. Howard, was &C.
quilted last week on one char
ge of conspiracy to defraud
an insurance agency through
an alleged 81, 100000 fake au-
to accident ring, is said to
term his acquittal as "a YER
dict of faith. !"
However, he still faces trial
on eight other indictments
and Assistant States Atty. AL
bert L. Dunno indicated that
the state will press the other
charges.
His codefendant Atty. Ken
meth Brundage was also ac-
quilted after a jury deliDerat-
ed two hours and 10 minutes.
The foreman of the jury
said prosecutors failed to
prove the men planned a fake
auto accident to collect insur-
ance.
"The prosecution, said
Donald E. Erick, SO, 'failed
to prove beyond a reasonable
doubt that there was an agree
ment to commit fraud"
He was foreman of the jury
that Friday night acquitted
DR.. Theodore r. M. Howard,
81, and Atty. Kenneth j. Brun-
dage, 30.
The verdict was greeted
with a burst of applause by
about Is persons in the Grim
inal Court of Judge Alexan-
der j. Napoli.
The two men, along with
Atty. Leo E. Holt, "a, were
indicted on a charge of con-
spiracy to cheat an insurance
firm through a 81 $50 settle
ment of injury claims for five
persons in the 1859 crash.
DR.. Howard, an unsuccess-
full Republican candidate for
Congress against Rep. Will
liam L. Dawson in 1858, said
after the verdict was read:
81 feel this verdict is a ver-
dict of faith that my fellow
physicians National Negro
Medical Association) have
had in me.
II spent most of my life in
Mississippi trying to rid my
race of crime. S would not
wait until the evening of my
life to commit a crime of this
nature. ("
Brundage said he felt con-
fident the jury would acquit
him.
While DR.. Howard and Brun-
dage expressed happiness ov-
er the verdict, plans were al
ready under way to press fur
Their prosecution against them.
Assistant States Atty. Dunno
said he hopes of a speedy trial
of eight similar charges a
gainst Howard and four a.
gainst Brundage.
DR.. Howard and the two at
torneyS were accused of stag
ing a fake two-car crash No
vember 81, 1859.
In a report Howard submit
ted to the United States Fidel-
ity and Guaranty Company,
five persons were named as
suffering injuries in the crash.
During the trial, several of
them testified they were un-
hurt.

"NVhat are some of the things
l should look for in homer
MIR. Holmes Dyer asked me dur
ing a luncheon the other day.
1t was a good question and
has caused me to think that
perhaps many people are not
quite sure of the kind of house
that would suit them best and
that Realtors-members Of the
National Association Of Real
Estate Boards and the local
board have an obligation to
furnish some guide lines.
One of the most important
considerations, Of course, is
that a home must meet the
space needs of the individual
family. Does it have sufficient
homework, private-life, an d
group-llfe space!
AS ! began outlining these
ideas to Mr.. Dyer, he became
impatient for particulars. II
know these things in general"
he said, "but could you de-
fine them for me in greater
detail?"

laundry, storage, and mainten-
ance facilities. If the family is
small, for example, the wife
probably would prefer a little
kitchen to save her needless
steps during the day. On the
other hand, if the family is
large, she and everyone else
would find it annoying if the
kitchen were so small that two
or three persons made it seem
like the walls were being pushed
out, or that while eating din
ner, someone had to move his
chair everytime 1T was neces-
sary to open the refrigerator.
The current need, moreover,
must be considered in terms of
the future also, I cautioned Mr..
Dyer. If you anticipate an ex-
banding family, look for a
house with large kitchen.
Laundering takes up a large
portion of the housewives time.
Dirty clothes have a way of
piling up. Find a home with
adequate space for washer and
dryer. If the house has no base
ment, be sure it has a conven-
lent, well-located utility room,

Ouarter-HOrse Contests

Members of the Maryland

stage contests in cutting, riding
and roping at two fairs in the

First competition will be held
at the State Fair at Timonium

And, at the same time, you
will probably want more than
one bathroom. AS many par
ents have learned the hard way,
the race for the bathroom in
the morning usually goes to
the swiftest-who is not always
the parent. Such early morn
ing activity may be funny in
the movies or on TV, but is not

occupies spare moments at
home. The basement can pos
sibly be fixed up or parti-
toned for such purposes.
However, I cautioned Mr..
Dyer, no house is perfect, nor
will it fulfill all your dreams
100 per cent. But outline the
things you want in a home.
You'll probably have to COM
promise on some, but you at
least will have thoughtfulIy ac-
cepted an alternative and won't
move in to discover suddenly
to your dismay that the family
doesn't fit in the kitchen.

a good way to start off the day
in real life.
There is a lot of truth in the
slogan, ''The family that plays
together, stays together"
When planning for the home
that is right for you, I told Mr..
Dyer, consider the size and ar
rangement of the living room,
basement, and recreation area.
Family group life activities
center around these rooms,
which are important in a we'll
designed home.
Large, airy, fresh-looking liv-
ing rooms can lend a feeling of
relaxation and warmth to FAM
lily life. Thought should also be
given to facilities for entertain
ing and accommodating over
night guests. Oftentimes, the
living room and recreation
room can answer these space
needs, but possibly you will
want a spare" bedroom.
If there are children Of
school age in the family, a
home should probably have a
study area And IL you list
lively teen-agers as members
Of the group, separate enter
tanning facilities such as a liv.
ing room and a recreation
room are probably necessi-
ties so that mother and father
are not shunted off to the bed
room early in the evening.
Perhaps the head of the
household has a hobby that
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1962-08-02

harassed housewives, I added,
is, There's not enough closet
space" Many older houses pro-
vide the answer to this need
better than some of the newer
ones.
Give careful consideration
too, / told Mr.. Dyer, to rooms
that come under private-life
space. This means bedrooms
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1962-08-02

and baths.
Look for a home with
enough bedrooms to take care
of the possible future growth
Of your family. Advance plan
ming such as this will save
the trouble and expense Of
building additional rooms lat
er on or the necessity of hav-
ing to move again,
