EVERY TWO WEEKS a group of Phoenicians lunch at the
YMCA. This group of men have dubbed themselves "THE

after a delicious meal while they discuss events of the
area. The Fellows are the unofficial welcoming com
mittee of the city for prominent businessmen and civic
leaders who pass through the Valley of the Sun.

PRIME MINISTER
OF GHANA
VISITS U.S.
Kwatne Nkrumah, Prime Min
ister of Qhans tours Chi
cago during hie visit to
the Uhlted states. He and
his party will be escorted
down South Parkway, in
the heart of the Negro
district of Chicago's
famed southside. At City
Hall he will be welcomed
by the mayor and a host
of troops and civic lead
ers. While in the Windy
City, Nkrumah will tour
the Johnson Ptfcliahing
Company, publishers of
Ebony. He will leave Fri
day by plane for London.
fflcrumah*s visit ia po
litically significant be
cause his country is as
cending as a national fig.
ure in Africa. He is one
of the most learned and
respected leaders of the
continent, and his ties
through marriage with an
Egyptian beauty have
linked him with the Nssser
alliance.
This American-British
educated leader is a sym
bol of the national fervor
in the Arabic and African
countries. After receiving
the loud praises and trib
utes from Ethiopia, Sudan
and other African coun
tries, Mcrumah accepted
the invitation of Presi
dent Eisenhower.
Undoubtedly his visit ia
a sign of the times. No
country is insignificant
in the struggle for the
peace of the world.
