TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.~
(SNS)~More than two thousand
people of both races visited the
Carver Art Museum on its opening
day, November 17, which aiso
marked the opening of National
Art Week.

The Carver Art Museum was of| ficially ~spened when Austin W.
Curtis; assistant to Dr, - Carver,
tapped the gong in the Museum
and stated that in the absence cof
Rev. H; V. Rithardson, chaplain,
prayer pts ye offered by Rev.

almef, co-worker of Dr.
Carver for over 40 years.

The p:ayef was one of thanksgiving that the aged artist and
scientist had bean spared to see
the fruition of his work, thanksgiving for the great blessings the
artist had brought to mankind.
The prayer closed with a_ petition
for continued health and strength

for Dr. Catver. |; chairman of: the Chicago Housing authority.

12,000 Inspect

In a recent memorandum from
the Offices for Emergency Management, the statement is made
that~ there has been presidential
approval of 100 defense homes in
Coatesville, Pa. This has brought
the total to 4,844 defense homes for
Negro occupancy, according to
Charles F. Palmer, coordinator of
defense housing. The latter also
stated that families of Negro defense. workers and enlisted personnel in 36 defense areas will be
housed in public-financed projects.

As a result of the data prepared
by Commissioner Taylor, there is
indicated a growing Negro participation in the national defense program, as evidenced by the list of
key industries according to Mr.
Taylor, more than $20,000,000 is now

being spent for defense housing to}

accommodate Negro workers, The
projects under construction in various cities range in size from 35 to
500 homes. These homes are attractive, modern and_ efficiently
planned.

In his work, Mr. Taylor, as a
housing expert, is developing data
and securing information for 22 additional defense localities with respect to housing needs. The division
for which Mr. Taylor is acting as
consultant is charged with the responsibility of preventing an impediment to the defense program by
reason of the inability of defense
workers to secure adequate housing.
It is the contention of the Chicago
housing official and Mr. Palmer
that. the defense worker must himself be defended against being
forced to endure: housing conditions
injurious to his health, happiness,
and efficiency. ae

READINGS ARE READY

Cc. H.~I have been going with a
hoy for quite awhile. Do you think
that he really; means to do what
he has promised me that he would?
Are my suspicions. true?

Ans: Your suspicions are true
all right.. there is another woman in the case. No doubt you already realize that he isn~t going

to. keep his promise. Don~t give
him the satisfaction of knowing
that you are disappointed.. get

out and get you a new friend too.

C. L. G.~Tell_me Sjr if the man
that I dream about so much means
me any good? I am very interest--:
ed ijn him so! please let me know

good?

Ans.: If a man loved a woman,
or if he was interested in her at
all....he would make some attempt
te call or see her occasionally.
Therefore I do not believe the man
cares for you and you are just
wasting your time thinking about
him. There are other nice men,
make it a point te know more people and you will get your dream
man in time.:

I. B. N.~The person I love is in
another place. If I go there will
he dQ the things that he promised
me?

Ans: Do not depend. on his keeping every promise he made... he
is young, and for some reason

CHICAGO~(SNS)~Social barriers among Southern Negroes,
which formerly made an. ~upper
class~ of ligh{-skirned members ~of

| the race, today ~are breaking down

under the impact of growing racial
pride, and. brown-Rined Negroes
tend to attain a higher rank than
light-skined Negroes.

Similarly, the. prestige formerly
held.by straight-Laired Negroes - is
tending to diminish,

These recent changes in the
class system cf Sotithern Negroes
were disclosed by Dr. W. Lloyd
Wainer, professor of sociology at
the University of Chicago, in
~Deep South,~ published this week
by the University of Chicago Press.
The book reports an extensive s0 -cial and anthropological study of
a Southern city, conducted under
