Realizing the importance of keepinur opportunities for legal training open to all, and real* idng also that so very few Ne- gn students are seeking legal training, the purpose of this study is to ascertain the cause. It is felt that there is discrimi* ination against Negroes on the basu .of raee, aa against other minority groups. But ft careful stodjr M xwceBsary to ascertain concrete facts and specific eaaes. Brides this open dis crimination on the basis of raee, tiiere ia another fact which accounts for these alarm ing statistics already secured by the committee. At Harvard Law School, only seven Negroes out of thirtem hundred students. At Yale, **not more than 2 or 3 applications from N^n-oes in the last ten years.

This is such a worthy and timely project that the cooperf- tion yid response has been splendid. But for this study to be complete and serve its beat purpoiffe vne must know the names, addrcisaes, school grad uated from, TChooI applied to, and general average, of every Negro boy and girl who had made application to a law school for admittance to the 1941-42 ftession. All information should be directed to Herbert O. Reid, S2 Holden Street, Cambridge, Ma^s. For that basic democratic right of eqtial educational op portunities for all, there is a fight in the southern states to open the doors for legal, as well as foi- othdr advanced training. In the other sections of the country, we must fight to keep the doors open. With your co operation our'study will be a success, it' will enable us to complete what we believe will be ao important service to the law schools and the legal pro fession of a democratic nation.

T. Walden of Atlanta and Thurgood Marshall of New York special counsel for NAACP to petition the A-tlanta School Board requesting equal pay for colored and white teachers. The campaign for equalization in New Orleans, La., struck a twiporary snag when the local sehpol board refused Thurgood Marshall permission to appear in behalf of Joseph MoKelpih in whose name the equalization fight is being made there. The board claimed their meeting was an executive session not open to the public. New Orleans citizens are continuing the fight. The differential there is reported to be ^5,000 a year. Clarence S.

Houston, special assistant, attorney gener al. M. C. -Martin, cashier of the Danville Saving^ Bank and Trust company of Danville, Va., read report; C. C. Spaulding, who is president of the strong Mechanics and Farmers Bank of Durham. North Carolina, was not present to read his report, but it was handled by one of his associates. Jesse H. Lewis, head of the department of finance and ac counting at Howard university, read an address, “The Responsi bilities of Banks to their CcHn- munities.” The meeting adjourned for luncheon at, Harrison’s with the Industrial bank of Washington, D. C., Jesse Mitchell, president, as hosts. At the afternoon session, War ren R. Forster vice president of the Hamilton National bank of this city was the principal er»eak- er and his talk was on “Bonds. Mr. Forster Stressed the oppor tunity of colored banks to serve N^oes in financing mortgages for building through the FHA He indicated that the insurance companies, which had been the largest purchasers of these bonds and avoided co}o)*ed liieople and their needs for homes. When questiened on thia, Mr. Forster s»1d'it‘%as a matter for the in. surance companies themselves to answer, but he felt that as moet of the companies were northern companies, they were unaware of the situation and their failure was due to ignorance. R. L. McDougald, of the Me chanics and Farmers Bank, Dur ham, North Carolina then told Mr. Forster that his experience had taught that colored mortg ages were better risks than most borrowers and that ;the insiurance companies nor the FHA could say the Negroes were poor risks. torn by human strife.” “To ask merely for justice ih too late,” the young novelist declared. “Social bases have changed. Life is now power poli tics, and We must play the game. Wright said ’tiiat the Negro group can batter define human rights. than any other group and that “We are richer than we think. We are stronger than we know.” The young author. addre^Md the conference on Thursday mite, June 26, when he H?aa presented tJ»e 36th Spingorn Medal. Elmer A.

The peach crop now* being harvested in North Carolina to tals an estimated 2,430,000 bushels, and Lewis P. Watson, Extension horticulturist of N. C. State College, says it is the largest crop since 1931. The 1940 peach production in the State was 1,344,000 bushels. "The peaches in the Sand hills section' are of good qual- it for the most part,*^ Watson declared, "and there will be no better fruit buy on the market this yeal* than peaches. If the growers are to receive a fair price for their crop, it will be necessary for consumption of peaches to rise considerably ov er normal onsumptioh. Before we ask people in other states to ^ mpr^ peaches, we certain ly should do our part at home.” The latest fruit situation re port of the U. S. Department of Agriculture indficates a crop of 20,840,000 bushels in the t«i ‘‘early*’ states, all of which will be selling peaches ^uring the next six wteeks. This is nearly 60 i^rcent larger than last year’s crop> Miss Mary E. Thomas, Exten- E^ion nutritionist, points out that peaches—either fresh or canned—supply certain food ma terials that the body requires fo> health and growth. “Fruits are an excellent source of sugar for energy needs of the body, she declared,” and they also stimulate the appetite and aid digestion. “They are a principal source of Vitamin C, which protects and is essential fighting for enough in a world for the healthy condition of OFCOURSe ISA^CHCE .ON AtyiHOKT..

Your Bond bears interest at the rate of 2.9 percent a year, if held to ma turity (ten years). Q. Why should I buy Defense Bonds? A. Because money talks. To dictators it speaks defiance. To friends of freedom, it says, “Here's my hand!” An opportunity for farm peo ple to sleep ‘'on and under” the cojtton they have produced in past years is offered through the Supplementary Cotton Stamp Program, says Miss Pau line Gordon, Extension special ist of N.
