GIVE GENEROUSLY TO UNCF
At a banquet last Thursday night at
the YMCA the local campaign for dona¬
tions to the United Negro College Fund
was started. The drive here is but one
of many such efforts 1hat are in progress
throughout the country.
The quota set for the local campaign
is St,500 and should he quickly reached,
awl will he, if local citizens give un¬
fittingly to this cause which means so
jMoeh to the prepress of our youth.
The money raised in these more than
‘on* hundred campaigns in various parts
of the nation will be distributed among
the nearly two score Netrro colleges
that are members of the UNCF and will
greatly assist them in carrying on their
f.’prk which is so essential to the proper
advancement of our hoys and girls of onl-
j.^rrv The total amount which the
onrnnb'utinn hones to raise throughout
the nation is $‘>950,000.
In the local area there are several
hundred persons who have enloved di¬
rect bonoUf.. at manv of the institutions
for "hiob (his fond is being raised. They
should fo< ! dntv bound to contribute gen-
et-ne lv in (bis campaign, remembering
the invaluable service they received in
their college davs. If ihev measure un
to their obligation and the citizenrv in
general support the drive unsparingly
then the amount set for Savannah to
' should be attained without any
ficulty.
In view of the fact; that there may be
some ip our midst who are not fullv ac-
onainte'l with exactly what the United
Negro College Fund is. here are some data
concerning this organization which is
playing so vital a role in the education of
the Negro, as given in its recent fact

Gov. Leroy Collins' Advisory

no way to keep the public

Johnson. "But he chose to work
at Howard and to train Negro

against the Tefrcil County

suit, filed by the Justice De-
paUnrnt, h:sd arensrd the offi¬
cials of discriminating against
Negro voters. It was based on
a i&M complaint that only 4ft
Negroes out of 5,020 of voting

VENEREAL DISEASE
Of all of mankind's ills, vene¬
real diseases probably have
more mystery and romance
attached to them than any
other.
They have been recorded
since as early as 3500 B. C., an
Egyptian papyrus dating to this
gave a very good clinical de¬
scription of gonorrhea and
plant extracts to soothe painful
urination.
Many fables are still attached
to the diseases. It has been
comparatively recently that the
public has become aware of
the threat and faced it realis¬
tically. Not many years ago t.he
word syphili* was spoken in
guarded whispers.
Gonorrhea was responiibie
for a great number of blind
person* until it became manda¬
tory to use silver nitrate in the
’ye* of new born babies. It is
also not widely known that at
one time gonorrhea was a not
uncommon cause (A heart dis¬
ease and arthritis.
Syphilis was once railed the
