Evidently the “vast amount” of information gathered did not contain the fact that Walter Clinton Jackson, our former Chancellor, was white and died in 1959. We have been toying with the idea of responding by sending a photograph of Walter Clinton Jackson, the Library, which will show that we are partially white and partially brick colored.

A love gift was donated; the presentation was made by Mrs. Mattie Carwell, Treasurer, to Mr. G.W. Summers, Treasurer of the Senior Citizens of Juanita Hills.

In addition, you must choose the standard deduction and file by the due date. Then the IRS will figure your tax for you.

The instructions for both forms explain what lines to fill out so the IRS can de termine your tax from the proper tax table. You will then receive a refund for any overpayment or a notification of the amount of tax due. Q, When will I get my re fund? A.

If you receive an erro neous Form W-2, you should ask your employer to issue a new W-2 to you clearly marked “corrected copy."

Dr. Tate’s book, “The Forgotten Labor Leader and Long-Time Civil Rights Advocate: Philip Murray,” is a 202-page manuscript detailing the lengthy career of the late President of the United Steel Workers of America. Dr. Tate organized and served as the first chairman of the Department of Economics in 1970. In her book, Dr. Tate’s thesis is that Philip Murray was not only an outstanding labor leader, but a person who was deeply concerned with the welfare and rights of the workers, especially blacks, Mexican Americans and others. “When 1 started doing the research for this book,’’ said Dr. Tate, “1 became startled by some of this man’s actions.” Here was a man who was interested in the proper treatment of black workers, even before the civil rights movement became fashionable.” “Being a black woman and being aware of the fact Arthritis Sufferers: WAKE UP WITHOUT ALL THAT STIFFNESS!

He was just a good Christian who neveSr did too his own horn.” Murray died in Novem ber, 1952 after serving nearly half a century as a union official. A native of Blantrye, Scotland, Murray was brought to America by an uncle in 1902 and imme diately began working in the coal mines. , By 1912 he had become president of a newly formed miners’ union in Pennsyl vania. When the late John L. Lewis became president of the miners in 1920, he tabbed Murray as his vice president. Murray succeeded Lewis as president of the Congress of Industrial Organization in 1940.
