By Mary Whitman
Stencils start a cheerful
chain of thought.
A book of Animal Stencils
can be used over and over by
children. The playbook, sold
at variety stores, has an ele
phant, a kangaroo, a lion
and more to serve as models
for the small artist. He can
place them on paper and trace
them. He can repeat the shapes
to decorate placemats. He
can string them up to be
mobiles. The shapes are handy
for making his own gift wrap.
Or he can make a whole zoo
for his room by making tents
of colored paper and cages out
of shoe boxes and soda straws.
Often a corner of his room can
be reserved for a work project
like this.
"Stencil books encourage a
child to think, yet give him
tangibles to work with so he's
not entirely on his own," one
approving parent points out.
"Preschoolers can use the sten
cils for simple coloring, and
older children can do paste ups
and whole landscapes with
them." Activity experts at
Whitman Publishing Company
of Racine, Wis., leading pro
ducers of juvenile play items,
agree. A stencil book can be
worth its weight in gold when
a child needs something to do.
For a youngster who can
work with more abstract forms
there is a Build With Shapes
book. Here sixty-six simple
shapes can be punched out and
formed into designs.
Another play book called
Make A.Sign has numbers and
letters and can be used to
make price-tags for a play auc
tion, headlines for bulletins, or
programs for theatre-in-the
backyard.
Want to cut television watch
ing? Soothe the brood when
It rains? Provide a new project
as den mother? Stencil books
may shape the future.
Tubman "YW"
Stages $75,000
Fund Campaign
The months of February and
March have been set aside for
carrying on a small capital
funds drive of $75,000 for a
building expansion program at
the Harriet Tubman Branch
YWCA, 322 E. Umstead St.
Mrs. James Semans and Dr.
Rose Butler Browne, co-chair
man of the Campaign, make an
appeal to the Durham Com
munity: "Always in the face
of great need in our commu
nity, the YWCA has been will
ing to take courageous action.
The Durham community will,
in the next few months relocate
five hundred families as a part
ci the program of urban rede
velopment.
One housing project with
capacity of two hundred fami
lies is situated just one block
from the Harriet. Tubman
Branch of the YWCA. In ten
days the first forty families
will move in. The needs of
these girls and women will be
met either the forces for
evil or the forces for good
will make the first approach.
If we are ready to receive
our new neighbors to welcome
them to shared experiences
and a feeling of belonging
maybe the loheliness and anxi
ety that frequently result in an
upsurge of rebellion and de
linquent behavior may be
channeled into a new hope and
trust for the teen-agers, and
new understandings and faith
for the older women.
If we are to move into the
future ready to make the need
ed contribution that the
YWCA is peculiarly equipped
to make to the women and girls
of the Durham Community, we
need your help. We must raise
$75,000.00 in the next eight
weeks to take some of the steps
in our program of action.
We remember gratefully the
support "that Durham has given
to the needs of the YWCA
through the years Today's de
mands are extraordinary, to
meet them our efforts must be
extraordinary. Will you help?'

DR. JAS. M. NABRIT, JR.
President, Howard University
Howard Univ.
To Observe
Its Centennial
WASHINGTON, D. C. One
hundred years ago Thursday
(March 2) the 39th Congress of
the United States enacted and
President Andrew Johnson
signed into law legislation pro
viding for "a university for the
education of youth under the
name, style and title of 'The
Howard University'. "Little did
:he group of the University's
10 founders, all members of
First Congregational Church of
Washington, D. C., realize that
the school they helped create
would in time become one of
the nation's outstanding and
unique institutions of higher
learning.
Today, as the world's larg
est comprehensive university
system where Negroes are In
majority attendance, Howard
has exceeded even the fondest
dreams of its founders. Its 27,-
000 graduates hold positions of
leadership and responsibility
throughout the United States
and in many foreign countries,
and many of its programs and
services have won world-wide
acclaim.
It was in November 1866 that
the idea which gave birth to
Howard University was con
ceived. The Columbian Law
building at Fifth and "E" Sts.,
northwest in Washington was
the site of the Monthly Con
cert of Prayer for the First
Congregational Church, and it
was at this meeting that tl}e
idea for a new institution "hr
view of the pressing demand
of the Southern field" was
born. The original plan was for
a Theological Seminary where
newly emancipated Negroes
could be trained to be reli
gious leaders. The scope of the
institution was broadened at
subsequent meetings, however,
and in January 1867 a charter
was sought for a university
which would develop an entire
leadership class for the former
slaves. It was this kind of
charter that was authorized,
and it%as this kind of gradu
ate that Howard would pro
duce during its first 100 years.

Encouraging
Side of War
Is Examined
"Encouraging" factors in the
Vietnam war situation were out
lined to the Lions Club of Ra
leigh Monday by a State De
partment representative who
spent two years ki South Viet
nam helping supervise an ec
onomic development project.
The speaker was Howard C.
(Tony) Ford, who was identified
with the United States foreign
service in Asia for 15 years be
fore his retirement in Decem
ber. He now lives at Penland
and is in Raleigh visiting his
son-in-law, William B. Waters, j
assistant rehabilitation super
visor of the State Commission
For the Blind.
Ford helped the South Viet-1
namese to repair the ravages of
war and chart new courses of
economic development.
Some of his observations:
The U. S. war effort is in
"capable" hands from General
Westmoreland on down to the
younger officers. "These men
know their business and are do
ing a good job of meeting their
military responsibilities."
There has been some specu
lation as to whether the South
Vietnamese can fight or want to
fight. "Well, the South Viet
namese have been fighting for
15 years and most of that time
they had to fight with inade- |
quale weapons and equipment.
But since the South Vietnamese
have been provided both lead
ership and equipment by the
Americans, there are no more
effective fighters in this jungle
war than they are. With Amer
ican aid, they have become bet
ter jungle fighters than the Viet
Cong and they are carrying
their full share of the military
load.
"I think I can accurately say
that the so-called political sit
uation in South Vietnam is bet
ter than ever before and at
least the best during the past
two years," Ford said. "Pres
ident (General) Ky is the best
leader that the nation has had.
Also, the so-called religious dis
sension is dying down and the
cooperation between the Cath
olics and the Buddhists has
been much better lately."
Ford said be was not sur
prised at the recent accelera
tion at our bombing of North
Vietnam and the shelling of the
enemy's coastal targets by our
warships. "I would not be sur
prised if Haiphong harbor is put
out of business in the near fu
ture."
