Ambassador To The United States
E. M. Debrah, Ambassador to the United States from Ghana, proved a very pop.
ular visitor during a visit to Bennett College last week. The ambassador is shown her*
during a question and answer session wtih students and college officials.
GHANA AMBASSADGR SAYS:
"EDUCATION MEANS SERVICE"
What is the purpose of an
education? It is to prepare one
to compete and make a living
in today's complex society? Not
so says E. M. Debrah, Ambas
sador to the United States from
Ghana.
"The challenge of Today's
youth," Mr. Debrah said in a
speech at Bennett College last
week, "is to accept the fact that
their education is intended to
prepare them to be a part of
the society from which they
originate; and to work dilligent
ly towards removing Its misery
and its handicaps."
Mr. Debrah was in Greens
boro as the second Bennett Col
lege Forum speaker of the year.
"We must reject any false edu
cation," he said, "which gives
us a feeling of superiority over
others. We must, on the other
hand, embibe that system which
gives us the inner conviction
that life without service has no
meaning; and as long as poverty,
oppression, illiteracy, ghetto
conditions, despair, inferiority
complex and hunger exists in
our community, our education
has served no purpose."
A quotation from Seneca is
quite convincing, "Even if others
hold the front hoe and your lot
his placed you among those on
the third line; from where you
are, do service with your voice,
encouragement, example and
spirit. Even though a man's
hands are cut off he finds he
can do something for his side in

Woman's Chances of Collecting
Social Security Belter Than Man's
"If you're a woman, your
chances of collecting social se
curity benefits are better than
those of your husband or your
brother," according to Charles
H. Myers, district manager of
social security in Greensboro.
"Fifty-one percent of our ben
eficiaries are adult women,"
said Myers, "while only 34 per
cent are adult men. In addition,
he noted, It was women who
manage most of the benefits
paid to the 15 percent of social
security beneficiaries who are
children."
"A woman who works builds
valuable retirement and disa
bility protection for herself and
her dependents," Myers pointed
out. And payments are payable
to her children in the event of
her death just as in the case of
men. A woman who has not
worked outside her home may
qualify for social security bene
fits on her husband's record.
"You might say," Myers said,
"that the social security law
recognizes that being a house
wife and mother is a special
career."
"Some of the ways you can
qualify for social security pay
ments as a woman are:
(1) As a wife, when your hus
band is getting social security
benefits and you are 02 or older,
or have children under 18, or

THANKS TO YOU
Thanks to the youth who live
in the Warren Housing Pro
ject. A group of teenagers or
ganized themselves in groups
and brought candy, apples, or
anges, and nuts which they bag
ged and carried to all of the
shut-ins in the hospitals and
convalescence homes all day
Tuesday before Christmas.
To the many who do not be
lieve in Santa Claus, if you had
seen this group you would have
seen Santa in action. Here-to
belore, the teenagers living in
the housing project would have
looked for some charitable or
ganization to give them their
Christmas, but this little group
from the Warren Housing Pro
ject changed the old course.
They started to find that for
gotten group, the shut-in, the
chronic ill, the old age, and
those who are unable physically
to find Christmas for them
selves.
These youths should be given
a word of thanks for finding
the shut-in to give them the
enjoyment that they are able
to receive. The staff of the Fu
ture Outlook sends thanks to
you and others who share their
faithfulness in running such
voluntary service during this
Christmas season.
The VA says the current 335,
351 enrollment in institutions of
higher learning is a 28 per cent
increase over the 261.347 in
training in college at the end
of October 1968.
