Brown, President and W. A. Foster look on. The Association purchased its headquarters building from the N. C. Mutual in September, 1946 for $55,000. The $10,000 payment made on this occasion brings the total payments to $41,565.95 leaving a balance of only $13,435.05 to complete the purchase. The Association has expended over $7,500 for remodeling the headquarters building and in stalled over $3,000 worth of equipment and furnishings dur ing this period of a little more than three years. Insurance, taxes and maintenance for the period have been in excess of $2,- 000. The Association plans to com plete retirement of the mortgage by the end of 1950. and much to gain from further ing decent employment oppor tunities for Negroes,” he said. ‘‘Far from being charity pati- eiit.s, our own Negro employees have been a sound investment for us in good performance.” ‘‘In these times,” Morrow said, “it is becoming clear that indu>try mu.st do more than earn go(Kl profits, if it is to h(‘lp pro tect and advance tlie system which has made the profits pos sible, and upon which the na tion 's prosperity depends so much.” We have made a good deal of progres.s,in the less than ninety years since the X^gro was emancipated, he conceded. But “American democracy lias be- cotne oiir platform in a global contcst of political systems, ” he said, “and as such it stands — defined and italicized —'before Tilt' nations and people who are already judging its value.

Call me a deadhead if you want, but I’m strictly a guy who gws for ‘yellow’ journalism. I like the sensations stuff better than the staid stuff you find in so many newspapers today. I realize the importance of a cabinet meeting, an election, the rise in the cost of living, and all of that'stuff, but when it comes to newspaper reading, give me a .sensational story of a per- .sonal nature ... a good Broad way keyhole column or some thing of that sort.

Why, I w’ouldn’t dare to w ink at a girl in Jacksonville with Hank and the rest of the Tattler staff around. Those guys must have keyholes where there aren’t even doors to put them in. I know more about the gang around Hank’s corner than I do about iny next door neighbor. Maybe I’m like the hero in “Crime and Punishment” . . . I’m more interested in people than I am in society as .such. If a guy gets into a fight with his wife and plops a custard pie in to her face, I get a kick out of it. And if she retalliates w'ith a plate of mashed potatoes, I like it even better. man Rights.” The congress, which had not met in 20 years, evaluated the religious changes of the past two decades, and studied trend# of the future.

He wasn’t dead at all, just ‘out’ cold. Now that’s my kind of news.
