GER AND BETTER NEGRO NEWSPAPERS. I' (1) Negro Newspapers me the spokemen *fot the rig^ii" of the Negro. They voice his ambitions, hopes- and aspirations a° nu other institution can or will do. Occasionally we find “Negro Pages” in white new.'papers, but they do not dare champion the rights of the Negro. (2) Negio Newspapers pre sent the contemporary.— history of rac* better than it i» done aflywh^^re else. The- achieve ments of the rac# are*^ related as they happen, w'nich will be our history tomorrow. Where * jlOse can you find this valuable rorvice? ■ (.3) Negro Newspapers mold Beta Tlie ,/0 ^Continued from pagp /l) know that such things wil; .sell for they , cater to the morbib liropensitips of hunjan • nature. / These producers know that if ■‘sex-iness” is paraded under thp gui.'^e of sex education the gulli blp public wifi crave more and more of it.

But the radio, ^ike the white press, do not (a most likely will not) attempt mold public pinion in favor the Negro for the ««k* of the Negro alone. Thus, the Negro Newspaper is left alone as the outstanding means of social con trol in molding public, opinion in behalf of the Negro. (4) Negro Newspaper* are excellent mediums for militant and off times brilliant express ions of 'talented Negroes. Other reason!> for* supporting Negro newi»papers are economic —they are eombinSd' into one of our largest businesp enterpriees w'hich oWers as much (if not more^/\ worthwhile employment tiTNegroes than any • othef Ne groes than any other Negro bu*i ness,*^’"TRerefore, Tlie more we support these papers, the more jobs we open for Negroe'. Ay of ua can help in this direction— but will we? Here’s hopinp so!! Are you hoping? If so, dp not forget that we will -havo to do morp than “just hope.” Will you actually do .some thing to make Negro Newspaners i,*iggers and Better? . Mrs* M. P. Lane Addresses PWA Workers PUBLISHER A. T. TUCK SANFORD, March 10 th— the afternoon of February 23, Mrs, Mozella P. Lane, Area Supervisor, PWA Adwlt Educa tion program of Ral*igh, made a special trip t« Sanford at t h e request of Superintendent G. Wheeler, to interview the teach ers, ministers and volunteer work er relattvn' the State-wide Adult "Hlliterdeacy Drive. The ^p^ing was held in the Lee “County Training School Audi torium at 3:46 with Prof. W. B. Wicker, Principal and Jean Su pervisor, presiding. » Mr. Wicker expressed his deep apprecation in having the dis tinguished guest present' and as surej hpr that the entira forces of Lee. County would cooperate lOQ per cent in this effort ta raise the curtain of illiteracy among our group and ma\e Lee County literate by 1940. Mrs. Lane accepted the kind vvoi'd of Mr. Wicker and rea,»sur- ed hini and the teachers, minis ters and volunteer workers in this drive that she, too, fi*lt as- ,^^^ured that she would, have their coo'peration as evidenced by the interest already shown. After given words of encour agement, passing literature to the workers a.s to the way of approach, mean^ o f locating adult illiterates, quoto fw eacli worker, time allotment, and limi tation of the immediate drive, high tribute to his special interest in the Adult program. White and colored peuple are interested in the move. As evid ences of the former statement, the proprietor of a certain print ing establishment gave 50 pounds of scrap paper to be used in Adult cla.«aes. A Tri weekly publishing company gave copies of paper to be used by those beginning to read. A prin cipal of a certain school gave a blackboard. The Union Baptist Church has opened her doors for Adult clajftegs. We are looiking forward for Mr*. Lane in Lee County in two week? to observe some real work in Adult Education. . - 4 — ORGANIZES SOFTBALL TEAM The Weaver McLean Post No. 17'5, of the American Legion ha.s organized a Softball team, compo.sed of members of tfi»^ po.st only.
