ton in the past two years,
compared with 395' whites
during the same period. He
added that there were only 80
Negro foreign service officers
out of some 3,700 such govern
ment workers.
Zone of the lingering and
harmful effects Of the dual
system of education is evident
in the relatively small num-
Der of Negroes who are un-
able to pass the examinations
required for certain positions
in government" he said, add
ing:

able to undertake a special

officially to prepare persons for

P T A president, Lionel
Emanuel pointed out that the
curtains are in a depiorable
condition, and it was brought
out during the discussions that
the most economical but dur
able curtains of this kind,

To suggestions that such an
amount of money could best
buy books, Mrs. Elena Chris
tan, CHS Principal, said that
funds are available for books
which are being delivered
daily and that more would
have been available were it
not for the shipping strike on
the mainland. On the other
hand, she said that the requisi-
tons for the curtains have
been returned for lack OF
funds.
A general smoker was raise

about all this money that's
floating around" but a COM

"it's just on paper"
It was pointed out by one
of the members that the Audi
