Farish St. Dial 2-7817 to Mrs. Sampson, despite discrimi nation and inequality, has made more gains than colored peoples anywhere else in the world. “The Negro in our country has climbed above these handicaps and is well on his way toward realizing the long-cherished dream of first-class citizenship,” she emphasized. In her history-making speech, Mrs. Sampson called on farmers, Negroes and all minority groups in America to join forces and form a “free world partnership.” She pointed out that “national and world salvation depends on getting rid of minority complexes that tend to divide us, and on finding per sonal and group identification with majority interests that will unite us.” Industrial countries, especially America, she said, have demon strated that truly free enterprise can “increase production indefi nitely and distribute their growing output ever more equitably. We have learned how to make compe tition and individual initiative fun ction within the framework of broad cooperation. Far from en gaging in class-war, we have been rubbing out class lines by enlarg ing the freedom of the individual to make the most of his abilities. “The old idea that farmers and workers had conflicting interests is fast losing ground. The prosperity of the farmer depends upon the prosperity of the worker and vice versa—for, each group is a market for the other.

Quite apart from the moral question involved, the U. S. Supreme Court decision against segregation in the schools is go ing to contribute greatly to Ameri can prosperity in the years ahead.” The Negro woman diplomat urged all Americans to put their real interests ahead of their pre judices and make the nation’s market really free. “This means,” she said, “rapidly extending op portunities for people to work wherever and whenever they are qualified. Racial discrimination in jobs, in professions and in busi ness encourages racial closed mar kets. This is had for all. It de prives the economy of the pro ductive efforts of many people which in turn reduces the amount of purchasing power, and leads to waste and inefficiency.” Mrs. Sampson argued +hat “European countries who do not have a color minority in their midst, but who do crack the whip over colored majorities in their colonies, find a certain satisfaction in focusing the spotlight on the gap between what America preach es and what she practices. “If we are to lead the Free World, we need the respect of peoples everywhere on the issue of right human relations.

(Continued from Page One) be busy from now until Thanks giving, dressing the birds and plac ing them in a local freezer lock er. They began raising turkeys 10 years ago, starting out w’ith four turkey hens and a tom. Soon they began buying poults from a hatch ery, and gradually increased the size of their flock until it num bered more than 500 head one year. Their average is about 400 birds for the Thanksgiving and Christmas market. “It was raising turkeys.” says Mr. David, “that gave the Wilsons the confidence to quit tenant farm ing and start buying a place of their own.” Now they own 45 acres and rent 75 acres more, main ly for pasture for their turkeys, hogs, and expanding herd of beef cattle. For a year or two after they started raising turkeys in large numbers, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson bought most of their turkey feed because their corn yield was so low —hardly enough for their work stock and few head of hogs. Then their county agent, S. E. Chase, showed them how to increase their yields by applying sound soil and water conservation practices. He even helped them build terraces and got them started with winter cover crops. “Our land isn’t washing and blowing away anymore,” says Mr. Wilson. “And our corn yield is up from 10 to 15 bushels per acre to nearly 60, and our cotton yield has about doubled.” With extra corn on hand, they make their own feed mix for their turkeys which also graze over a 15-acre pasture of clovers. “This cuts their feed bill right down,” reports Mr. David. The Wilsons have a son who was an outstanding 4-H'er. He en the world several years after we did, he was struck by the same im pression. He came back saying that if we wanted to turn back the tides of communism in Asia, we had to practice the freedoms we preach.” In forming fcnd cementing the “Free World partnership,” Mrs. Sampson said the American Negro stood able, willing and ready. She saw “farm surpluses from many years of good crops” as God’s of fering of “a stop-gap in our strug gle for a Free World Partnership.” She said: “These surpluses can be thrown into the breach while, through technical assistance, the retarded areas are lifting the level of their production. We can make food fight communism, while we strengthen the hungry peoples to the point where they can stand and defend themselves on their own sector of the Free World front.” Mrs. Sampson ended her address by beaming, “People on both sides of the Iron Curtain yearn to be free!” _ ! !

The first Negro ever to re ceive Republican nomination for any office in Lucas County, he finished eighth in a field of 10 seeking five seats from the county to the House of Representatives. His defeat was attributed by ob servers to the fact that he failed to pile up solid voted in predomin antly Negro wards which normally vote Democratic. „ St. Louis Committeeman Reelected On St. Louis, Jordan W.

Meeks was reelected second dis trict county commissioner in a Democratic sweep which brought success to the entire ticket. Meeks won by 800 votes over his opponent, James Cox, in a dis trict almost equally divided be tween white and Negro voters. Both Meeks and Cox are Negroes. The race between the two was the main attraction in an other wise dull campaign. In the only other race involving Negro candidates, Democrat Dr. Eldrew Browne had apparently won over Republican incumbent Myles C. Stevens in the Eighth dis trict representative race for a seat in the Kansas legislature. A recount was due as Browne was leading by less than 100 votes, with counting still going on late tered college three years ago and plans to be either a county agent or a vocational agriculture teach er.
