SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1943 NEGRO CC AND (Reprint From The Democrat) Here's one feeble voice expressing the hope that the new council will act without much delay in employing Negro policemen for patrol work in the East Market and Ashe street sections of town. I believe, too, that Greensboro needs a branch fire station in each of these sections and' that Negro firemen should be employed to operate them. It seems rather strange that the very sections of Greensboro which are most subject to rapid combustion do not have any fire fighting services immediateNEGRO WRITER WINS AWARD FOR WORLD TOUR Roi Ottley, publiciyt director of the National CIO War Relief Committee, has been awarded one of the coveted Rosenwald Fellowships for a 10-month ?uuuy oi wormng class minorities in the United Nations.

Greensboro has nearly 20,000 Negro residents. They are citizens and taxpayers ? although they don't pay taxes as heavily in proportion as do their white neighbors. They certainly are due the right of having some part in the administration of such basic city services as protection of life and property. ?ENOCH PRICE. articles and radio broadcasts and addressed various organizations on what the CIO has done and what it expects to do In helping the suppressed labor movements of the world reestablish their free trade unions.
