“A buyers’ (customers’) mar¬
ket is a situation favorable to
the customer where the supply
of goods tends to exceed the
demand and customer has a
wide choice.”
“A sellers’ (salesperson’s)
market is a situation favorable
to the store or salesperson
where the demand for goods
exceeds the supply and the cus-
tomer has to take what he
get.”
From the above
would you say that we are in
the midst of a buyer’s market

Police Captain
NEW YORK"—(ANP) — When
George Redding was promoted!
to be a captain in New York's
police department last week,
he did what the first Negro on
the force and a popular one,
failed to realize.
For many years, Samuel Bat-
tie fought terrific odds (and
Negro police still fight heavy
odds on “this man’s police
force” i to reach the grade of
sergeant.
Finally, he hit a lieutenancy
and was on his way to a cap¬
taincy when the boom was low¬
ered. His age got him and Act¬
ing Captain Sam Battle was
made a Deputy-Commissioner
of Correction—a job later given
Lou Gehrig, Yankee first base-
man before he got so he couldn't
move—a severe blow to Sam
Battle’s ambitions.
Of course those were the days
before Mayor William O’Dwyer’s
seventh deputy commissioner-
ship went to his chauffeur. But
following Sam Battle were sev¬
eral others — all acting — but
none wearing the coveted bars
and gold shield that the

The observance of Greek Let¬

fitting tribute to the fact
played by the church in the
fostering and making possible

the support given to the Greek
Letter organizations by the
churches and in turn upon the
contributions of the members of
these organizations in the fos¬

this writing will trace briefly
the origin of organized efforts
of Negro Citizens in the field of
Social Welfare. This resume was
drawn from the unpublished
liinutcs, news clippings of
Family Service Board meetings
and a published historical ac¬
count of the Savannah Bene¬

The underlying motive in the
founding of Savannah by Gen¬
eral Edward Oglethorpe may
be termed “Charity” because
the birth of the city was con¬
cerned with the basic concept
which guided social services
through the ages—that is. each
person had a right to make his
own life, to enjoy personal and
civil liberties and to pursue
happiness and spiritual goals in
his own way. The pioneers in
