Mr. Mif| Mrs. Lawton Lynn of
Partington, S. C., have establish
ed a sm«ll modern slaughter plant
to supplement their income from
cotton, tobacco, and other crop*.
Cotton-Tob. Farmer Builds Slaug iter Plant to Supplement Income
• rj,
WASHINGTON, D. C AH'Sllj- i
QOO-a-year; slalighter- pLan t 'if '
one Negro farmer's answer to ,
dwindling-income from cotton and
tobacco,' reports Assistant State '
Aflent ,E.'; N. Williams of the
South dsrolipa Agricultural Ex
tension Service.
The firmer is 39-year-old. Law
ton Lynn of Partington, S>. C.,
whose income from cotton aftd
tobacco "ju*t wasn't adeqUitfe for
satisfactory family living and the
education Of his thrfe children,"
says Williams.
And these have been 'minimum
goals of Mr. and Mrs. Lynn sinde
their shirecrbpper d*ys—ll years
of them before they Jjought their
78-acre farm in 1957. A discussion
of their phftfcttApttirtheir county
agint led to the expansion of
their home garden to 12 acres
and the establishment of a road
side market.
"This helped a great deal, as
did improved farming methods we
learned from our agent," says
Lynn, "but with our children
growing toward college where fee?
are rising, we didn't feel it was
enough."
Still casting about for andther
sideline enterprise, Lynn b£gan
earning a little extra cash killing
and butchering hogs for neigh
bors in 1960. He became so expert
at it that his nev county agent,
R. C. Smith, encouraged him to
build a small plant.
f Two years later he built a make,
shift slaughterhouse and word
got around he,, was in busi-l
ness, slaughtering, butchering,
and packaging hogs in meal-size
portions for fit« cents a pound;
or $lO for poynder.

Leader Discusses
Discrimination
in Labor Union
PITTSBURGH—Are unions sin
cere in attempting to eradicate
discrimination and segregation
from their ranks? And how diffi-j
cult is it to get rank and file I
members whg may harbor hidden
prejudices to forget about them
and become advocates of demo
cracy -..ithin their ranks?
"Not too hard if the
starts from the top," says 38-year
old Ernest L. Clifford, who was
recently appointed, by David J
AlciAMiaid, prwiuent of the 9C0,-'
uUO. member Luncd Steei-woikers

assistant to Wofh. on m.nurity,

Givmg full credit to McDonald
for the creation of a Coir.mittee
on Civil Rights within the union
which has an estimated 250,00
Negro members, Clifford safd that i
the union president is a dedicated j
and sincere man who believes in'
cquajity among mankind. In his
work Clifford reviews, prepares;
and submitt factual reports on
minority gfoup problems as re
lated to contract provisions.
No Johnny-Come-Lately to civil
rights, the . union in ,1948 set up
the Civil Rights Committee at a
time when most large unions talk
ed much and took little action on
huipan rights and civil liberties.

Christmas Tree
Growers to Meet
Febuary 6
RALElGH—Marketing will be
I the theme of special events at the
! annual meeting of the North Car

sociation scheduled Saturday, Feb.
6, at Lenior.
Talks by a Raleigh food broker,
' W. F. Cranfield, and a U. S. De
partment of Agriculture market
ing specialist, C. C. Littleton, will
highlight the one-day session.
The meeting begins at the Cald
well County Agricultural Center
at 10:30 a.m., according to an
announcement by Fred Whitfield,
extension forestry specialist at
North State.
The N. C. Christmas Tree Grow
ers Association is a relatively
young organization. It \vas formed
in 1959 to promote the production
and marketing of the gate's

and housing on a Federal, State
' and local level.
Not just content '.vith making
civil rights a reality in his union,
the second largest in America,
McDonald has put his reputation
and the union's on the firing line
several times. Several years ago j
I during the Freedom Rides in Ala- j
j bama, the union put up over i
$200,000 bail for the arrested j
demonstrators.
Two weeks ago' in Birmingham,
Ala., during a reelection campaign
speech he noticed a trio of Ku
j Klux Klansmen in the audience,
j Halting his talk he tongue-lashed
| them in no • uncertain terms for
their race hate philosophies.
Many Negro leaders in the civil
j rights movement point out the
I USWA as a "shining example'' of
j liow the union movement can aid
j their cause when they put their
sficulders to the task. Many other
; big union? in the AFL-CIO have
given only lip service to the right
fight, they added.
Running on the national ticket
with McDonald and A 1 White
house, seeking the Secretary-
Treasurer's office, and Howard R.
Hague for reelection to the Vice
president's spot is Nathaniel Lee,
a veteran Negro member of the
USWA. On Feb. 9 at the polls he
hopes to get elected as Interna
tional Teller.

SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP
GROUP PRODUCES HISTORY CALENDAR
ATLANTA—A unique calendar
for 1965 has been, produced by
the' Southern Christian Leader
ship Conference which gives a
new and refreshing significance
to Negro history by listing im
portant dates, speeches and pho
tos, .both past and current, on
appropriate days in each month
throughout the year.
The calendar, which measures
8 and a half by 10 when closed
and 10 by 17 when opened, digs
deep into the Negroe's "lost heri
tage'' and not only gives proper
recognition to such great and
familiar Negro leaders of the
past as Fredrick Douglass, but it
also draws attention to such less
er known personalities as Gran
ville T. Woods. It notes that
Woods' an inventor of great gen
ius in the 1880's held 150 patents
at the time of his death, among
them one for a railway telegraph
system by which moving trains
could communicate, and another
for an electrical third rail by
which today's subway and ele
vated trains operate.
