A San Francisco letter: "Al though I have been a radio listen er for 25 years, I have never be- iore written a letter eoncerning any program. But your stories have been so moving and so beautifully done, that a word of appreciation is almost obliga tory." A teacher in a junior college at Poultney. Voriiiont, wrote: "May I offer my congratulations on tlie distingui.sllied writing of Ihe .-Vnieriean Adventure series, which I heard quite by accident over the NBC network. As I li.s- tened to it I became moi'c and more enthusiastic' over the sensi tive handling of (he background music and sound effects, t'iie rhythmic flow of tlie dialogue and tlie imaginative grasp of tlie dramatic story.

PULLED OUT This railway station agent a few years back made his first trip to New York City, He was interested in seeing the seals in Central Park and the skyline, but the great moment of his visit was to be his appointment with the lawyer of his railroad, who had offices in the Empire Stale Build ing. The lawyer was a big man and a busy one, and he was disturbed when the station agent failed to arrive for the appointment. It was almost an hour later when a weak knock was heard at the law- year's office and the agent limp ed in. What a climb!" grasped the agent, collapsing into a chair. ‘Eighty flights of stairs.” Good heavens, man, " e.xclaim- ed the lawyer, ‘‘why didn't you take the elevator.” "Well, I planned to,” said the agent, but it pulled out just as I got there."—Smith field Herald eggs.

Shortly affer the beginning of this century, two men, George C. Moore of New York and Conway C. Moore of Aberdeen, Scotland, leased a lai'ge tract of mountain vvuldeinoss in Graham County in Western North Carolina, just southwest of what is now Ihe Great Smokies. Upon the highest peak. Hooper’s Bald, they en closed a 2,000 acre timbered area with a stout fence with the idea of establishing a game preserve. The sight of large heavily- bolted crates stimulated a specu- iatiie and inquistive interest atnong the natives as these crates were being transported to the Bald aftei' the long wagon trip from the distant railroad. These same mountaineers gaped in credulously when hugh, hairy beasts were uncrated on Hooper’s Bald in 1910. Thus originated the Russian wild boar in .North Caro lina. I he wild boar is about the size of Ihc black betir. ranging in weight from approximately 200 to 400 pounds. I'hey are black or lu'indle in color and have a short, -Hoft undcr-fur and stiff guard hairs that differ from Ihe wild pig in that they are .split at the tips. They also grunt in pig-like lashion. These boar have long Mimits, cxtreinely short necks for restocking suitable areas which do not have turkeys.— Wildlife Resources Commission. DELAPIDATED HOMES Although Negro home owner ship has increased substantially in the last ten years, the most de pressing feature of tile Negro’s existence is still his home. Ac cording to Time magazine (May 11, 1953), one-third ol the Neg roes now own tJieir own homes, which is two-thirds increase over 1940. But nearly one-third of all these homes are dilapidated, as compared with less than 10 per cent in the nation as a whole. Furthermore, more than 20 per cent of Negro homes are over crowded, as compared with only five and one-half per cent of all the nation’s homes. Because of the explosive quality of this is sue, great care must be taken in the developmt?nt of community policies. —The Torch AS LISTED La.st week a tract of timber in Bertie County was soid by a cor poration in Elizabeth, N. ,J.. to an other corporation in Ltntisville Ky, Now, for how much do you ihink this quarter-million-dollar limber tract was listed for taxes’?

The Negro’s average yearly in come is only a little more than half the white yearly average, but ten years ago it was only 35 percent. Among U. S. skilled workers and foremen, 4% are now Negroes—up from two and one-half per cent in 1940. Among women professional and techni- cl workers, seven per cent are now Negroes— up from four and one-half per cent in 1940.

A number of industries in the United States are ready to hire Negro profess ional workers, but statistics show tihat few Negro college students go in for technical training. They still appear to favor the respect ed and relative secure profess ions—such as teaching, ministry, and law—, or they enter business as undertakers, barbers, cleaners, etc. It must be recognized, arid Negro leaders do recognize, that this is not entirely the result of present discrimination. It is part ly due to lack of confidence bred by past discrimination, partly to fear Fiat gains already made would melt away in a depression. The Torch Companv.W'jj.
