St. Louis press
honors Waring
Last week at a first-of-its
kind Black Press
Sesquicentennial presentation,
the three St. Louis National
Newspaper Publishers (NNPA)
affiliates - the Argus, American
and Sentinel - cited
News-Review columnist J.
Philip Waring for his long-time
service and devotion to the
Black Press of America.
It was at a retirement
deception hosted by she St.
Louis Urban League. Waring
completes 31 years of
professional human service (25
of which were with the
National Urban League
Movement as an executive in
Illinois, Florida, Bronx, New
York and Conn.). He retires on
January 1, 1978 and will later
move to his Augusta, Ga.
hometown.
The presentation was made
by Mrs. Howard B. Woods,
publisher of the St. Louis
Sentinel (and widow of its
founder-publisher and vice
president of NNPA) who
pointed to Waring’s support to
the St. Louis Black Press corps.
This included his education of
community leaders and
organizations on the value and
utilization of the weekly
publications. Over the years he
also shared with them late
press news from out-of-town
NAACP, Urban League,
Frontiers, civil rights and social
welfare conferences he
attended. He also actively
participated in their local
community projects.
It was also noted that 1977
marked the 30th anniversary of
his column, “Going Places,”
released elsewhere in the
nation but always published in
an Augusta flagship paper,
which is now the News-Review,
also an NNPA affiliate.
Waring also noted that the
three local papers had jointly
hosted the NNPA convention
last May in what many had
called the “best yet”.
RECOGNITION
FROM THE COMMUNITY
St. Louis Frontiers also cited
him as its co-founder in 1956,
observing that he had been
elected to high Frontiers office
locally, regionally and finally
as national secretary. The

Department Public Affairs
Division honored him for
helping improve Black-Police
community relations, and the
Family and Children’s Service
agency for volunteer leadership
in budding Black Adoption and
Family Life programs.
The St. Louis Urban
League’s 25-year-Service Bowl
was for “devoted and
innovative leadership,” the
National Association of Social
Worker’s plaque highlighted his
service and participation from
its inception 21 years ago, and
the Codition for Social Change
cited him as an agent of
contractive social change. This
included his social surveys in
1968 on the disparity of Blacks
holding administrative position
with the Board of Education,
and in 1969 and 1974 directed
a similiar study dealing with
Black representation on the
Circuit Court in St. Louis.
Publication of these studies by
the Urban League and on
television, radio and the daily
press led to promotion of
Black educators and
appointment of Black judges to
the Circuit Court in St. Louis
City.
PRAISED BY
MAYOR AND CONGRESSMAN
In a special message, St.
Louis Mayor James Conway
officially thanked Waring on
behalf of the people of St.
Louis while Missouri First
District Congressman William
Clay hailed his long-time
efforts in the field of social
justice and equal opportunity.
The dean at the Washington
University School of Social
Work praised Mr. Waring as a
field teacher in the social
sciences and urban activities,
helping to strengthen family
life and community
institutions.
