Also appearing at the
conference were Ohene
Darko, president and
chief executive officer of
the Continental Africa
Chamber of Commerce,
and Jacob Sou, director of
the Cultural Regional Ac
tion Center of Africa.
Darko spoke of the oppor
tunities for writers, artists
and teachers to work in
Africa, possibly with
grants or financing, and
Sou discussed exchange
programs between theatre
groups in the Black South
and those in Africa.
Sondra O'Neal, pro
fessor of English at Emory
and organizer of the con-,
ference, said it was very
successful and would lead
to several important
results. An artists' and
writers' colony may be
established, perhaps at the
Penn Conference Center,
and a National Editors'
Conference will be a per
manent outgrowth from
the Black South meetings.
Essays, video tape shows
and audio tapes will be
available, and an an
thology will be published
containing works written
for the conference. (For

mm background on business
Futures:
Very -Much
Present
... wVgiy J
The volume of futures trading hat been steadily rising
during the past 10 years.
As trading in futures mar
kets continues to grow, so
does the number of in
vestors who are making it
their business to find out
more about them.
In addition to markets in
such traditional com
modities as grains, markets
now exist in various interest
rate futures, precious metals
and forest products.
Commodity futures ex
changes have provided a
marketplace for such trans
actions since 1848 when the
Chicago Board of Tirade was
founded. The quantity and
quality of a commodity, the
delivery months and the
delivery procedures are
specified by the exchange
on which it is traded. The
contracts are traded by
many individuals, including
those who wish to profit by
price fluctuations of the
commodity but who do not
necessarily want to make, or
take delivery.
The investor or speculator
in the futures market
performs a vital economic
role. Through such specula
tion, risk can be undertaken
by people willing and able
to assume it. Thus, as the
risk-bearing ability can be
separated from production
and marketing, production
can be expanded and prices
will be reduced.
Information on futures
trading is available by writ
ing the Chicago Board of
Trade, Department NP2,
141 W. Jackson Blvd.,
Chicago, IL 60604.
