the past decade in many Negro
Colleges and with the opening of
the present school year, the North

on its Department of Dramatic

youngsters don’t play together,
they will surely fight together.”
At the same conference Council
man Powell revealed plans of the
fomation of the People’s Com
mittee, which is non-partisan and
non-political organization that will
seek to bring pressure to win eon-
sessions for Negroes arid other
minorties. The committee' is head

and Roi Ottley, director of publici

The Government’s caL for an
11 percent increase ia egg pi’odut-
tioH in 1942 is a direct hint (to
North Carolina farmers to place
their orders foy baby chicks earlv,
says C. F. Parrish, extension poul-
tryman of N. C. State CpUage.
At
the beginning of the 1912
season, Parrish predicts that hat
cheries will have their hand^ full
in filUng orders. In order to be
sure of delivery at the time they
want the chicks, fai’mers should
anticipate their needs and place
their orders now.
When buying chicks, the Stait*
College poultryman said farmers
should make every effort to ob
tain stock that is “bred tb lay.’’
This is important in auy year out
more vital in 1942 in view of Un
cle Sam’s request for more eggs.
Under production goaia set up
for the nation, North Carolina is
expected to produce 65,120,000
doeen eggs next year as a part of
the nation-wide food-for-freedoin
program. This is an 11 percent in
crease over the estimate produc
tion for 3941.
