Miss Dorothy I. Height, Preside&t-of 
the National Council of Negro 
Women has announced a traininn 
grant award of $154,19300. The
Commissioner of Welfare, U. S Department 
of Health, Education and
Welfare approved the application
submitted by the Council through
the Office of Juvenile Delinquency
and Youth Development.
Three demonstration cities have
been selected: Miami, Florida,
Danville, Virginia and Minneapolis,
Minnesota, where the local Negro
Women's Council will sponsor the
training programs.
Trainees will be women with the
interest and leadership potential
drawn from the local council and
its affiliates along with women in
disadvantaged areas who may have
never before been recruited as voluntees, 
to serve their community.
These, women from varied backgrounds 
and experiences will be
trained to work as volunteers with
pre-delinquent and delinquent
girls.
With the aid of a professional
"leadership staff; these women will
be involved in an intensive training 
course to be followed by supervised 
work in the local institutions 
which, touch in some way
these girls, e. g. community action
programs; social institutions such
as Juvenile Court setlement
houses, school truancy and dropout
programs., institutions for the
abandoned and neglected.
The target population is made
up of girls who are at the bottom
of the economic end educational
ladder. In alarming numbers the

non-white teen age girl out of
school and out of work rooms in
larger proportions than any other
group in the population today.
Many of these girls have been isolated 
from the mainstream of life
and living; they have never been
a part of nor able to cope with the
traditional agencies, programs and
services of the community.
Training content, methodology,
leadership emphasis and participant
motivation and the skill laboratory
will serve as twining models for
the Office of Juvenile Delinquency
and Youth Development, as well as
feed-back to other local councils
all over the country.
The National Council of Negro
Women recognizes that the frustrations 
of women from the lower
socio-economic class, and especially 
the Negro woman, stems not only
from an Isolated position in the
American Community but also because 
of inadequacies in our systems
of communication and understanding. 
The National Council of Negro 
Women sees its role as one
of redirections, with a focus on

closing the gap with adequate supporitive 
tools of intervention. There
is now new appreciation for the
role of women from all segments
of minority groups in community
services. This training program is
in response to this change attitude. 

According to Miss Height, Dr.
Annabelle Sherman, former Project 
Administrator, Job Corps
Women's Training Center Division,
Office Economic Opportunity; has
been appointed National Project
Director; Miss Hester Price, former
Professor of Business and Counseling, 
Nassua Community College,
Long Island as Assistant Director;
Mrs. Mary Duncan Colley, former
Secretary to the Board of Missions
of The Methodist Church, New
York City, as Secretary, Dr. Ahetta
Arter, of Research and Action Associates,

component.

August 15, 1966 to August 14,
1967.

The pearl is a mighty jewel, if
centuries-old legend and superstition 
are to be believed. Magical and
medicinal properties have long
been attributed to the gem that
today is regarded mainly as a fashion 
accessory classic.
According to a Chinese legend,
it rains pearls when dragons light
in the sky. On a more earthly
level, American folklore says that
a maiden who rubbed her eyes
with a pearl could make a man her
personal slave with the slightest
gaze a man, on the other hand,
could assure his love's undying atfeet 
on by dissolving a pearl in
water and giving it, to her to sip
from a wine glass..
Evtraordinary powers have been
credited to powdered pearls through
the years in 17th Century France,
powd red pearl dust was on expensive 
beauty treatment. Sprinkled 
on the skin, it was thought to
improve texture and lustre. In 17th
Century France, powdered pearl
dust was an expensive beauty treatment, 
sprinkled on the skin, it was
thought to improve texture and
lustre.
Powdered pearls were given amazing 
medical powers by several
civilizations. From 1300 to 1600,
swallowing powdered pearls presumably 
warded off disease, restored 
falling vigor, and cured such
divergent ailments as epilepsy or
hysteria. In ancient Rome, pearl
dust was used to restore reason to
lunatics.
One ancient civilization considered 
pearls bad luck and threw,
them back into the water, while

another believed that pearl amulets 
drove away sharks. For the
Chinese; pearls were charms against
fire in ancient Rome, pearls were
so highly esteemed that only persons 
of special rank were permitted 
to wear them.
Today the classic beauty of pear
is 'available for every woman to
wear and enjoy. For example, one
of the most popular styles of pearl
pendants — a single simulated
pearl in a simple starburst mounting 
— is available from Kimberlydark 
for fifty cents and one premium 
seal each from Kleenex tissues, 
towels, and Delsey bathroom
tissue. Available in either silver or
gold finish mounting and chain,
the pendants can be ordered singly,
or three for $1.00, from Special Otter, 
Box 9769, St. Paul, Minnesota
55177.
While a variety of myths and
fables have surrounded the pearl
for centures, there's one point of
agreement —the more often pearls
are worn, the better their beauty
and luster are preserved.

Alabama A & M
Gets Sloan
School Grant
Alabama A and M. college has
received a matching grant of $6,969.00 
from the Alfred P. Sloan
Foundation. This grant represents
the Foundation's first payment to
the college in keeping with their
pledge to match funds raised
through Alumni contributions and
other sources up to $33,333.33. The
The Normal institution is one of
23 Institutions sharing in a $1, million 
grant made to the Cooperative 
College Development Program
in the Fall of 1965. Altogether, the
member institutions earned a total
of $641,000.00. Seven of the institutions 
qualified for 100 per cent
of the grant due them during the
period ending June 30.
Speaking about the grant President 
Everett Case of the Foundation 
said," The Colleges' heartening 
progress toward matching the
Foundation's grant indicates that
they are making real headway in
carrying out the original purposes
of the cooperative College Development 
Program. To the degree 
that they succeed in broadening 
and sharpening their own
drives for development, the benefits 
will continue to secure to the
colleges long after this matching
gram expires. That, indeed, was
the basic purpose of the grant."

NAACP Defends
Man Who Shot 2;
Defended Home
The National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People this week mapped 
plans for the defense of Thedward 
Watson, 21-year-old Negro,
who wounded two young white men
when he fired into a mob of about
50 Jeering whites who threatened
his home in the Midwood-Flatbush 
section of Brooklyn.
Arrested on the charge of felonious 
assault, Mr. Watson faces a
grand jury hearing, Aug. 22. George
M. Fleary of the Brooklyn NAACP
Branch legal redress committee has
been assigned to defend the young
man. Supporting the defense arc
the NAACP National Office, represented 
by Associate Counsel Barbara 
Morris; the New York State
Flatbush NAACP Branch, Miss
NAACP, Norman Johnson; the
Gloria Manago; and Mrs. Lucille
Rose, representing the New York
City branches.
The NAACP is not only preparing 
legal defense of Mr. Watson
but is also mobilizing community
support.
The shooting occurred on the
night of Aug. 11 after a white mob
had encountered Mr. Watson and
his wife on the street and chased
them home. When his pursuers refused 
to leave, he fired, wounding
two of the rowd" came-calling
mob.

Computer To Aid
Many Suffering
With Epilepsy
A computer registering the work
of an electrode placed in a patient's 
brain may help thousands of
people who suffer from epilepsy too
severe to be controlled by medications. 
The research project is
sponsored under a Vocational Rehabilitation 
Administration grant
for $67,674 to the University of California 
School of Medicine, San
Francisco.
Electrodes will pinpoint the exact
espot in the patient's brain, which
is affected, and register this information 
an a computer. The surgeon 
will read the computer to
locate the area of disfunction.
Then by surgical techniques, the
pathway of "electrical storm'1 cells
could be interrupted, and the patterns 
which lead to epileptic attacks 
could be broken.
"Although 85 percent of all epileptlcs 
can be treated to the point
where all manifestations of their
problem are completely eliminated
or controlled by medication," said
VRA Commissioner Mary E Switzer, 
"the remaining 15 percent are
not able to become vocationally independent. 
Perhaps this grant will
help to release those persons who
still suffer from seizures.
Last year the federal-state, program 
of vocational rehabilitation
'rehabilitated 2,800 epileptics, The
VRA has, awarded 21 grants for
research, demonstration, expansion,
and training projects in effort to
rehabilitate those who suffer from

epilepsy.
The federal-state program also
serves persons with many types of
disabilities — including victims of
heart disease, cancer, and stroke,
as well as the blind, the deft, the
mentally ill and retarded.

Wilkins Hits "Separatism"
Says Negroes Are Citizens
"Negroes 
are Americans, citizens of the
United States; their dentity is
here, as Americans .... separatism 
isn't going to get us very far,"
NAACP Executive' Director Roy
Wilkins told delegates attending the
42nd annual convention of "AlBpr
Kappa' Alpha Sorority here.
"Behind the headlines, flamboyant 
speeches and the catchy, "emotion 
- laden slogans concocted by
what are loosely called civil rights
leaders, the people have to on
doing the things that must be
done: getting jobs, establishing
homes, rearing families, educating
children, safeguarding health, relaxing 
in recreation and building a
competence."
Mr. Wilkins spoke at the afternoon 
session, Wednesday, Aug 17.
He urged delegates representing
this oldest Negro sorority to continue 
helping the Negro American
forward as they have been doing
for years, "and, most important of
all, let its women continue to be
wives and mothers in the kinds of
families that assume the responsibilities 
of citizenship for themselves,
and that inspire and aid the march
toward independence and citizenship 
responsibility in others."
Mr. Wilkins lauded "our Greek
letter societies who are staunch and
substantial supporters, financially,
of a variety of civil rights activities. 
Wo in the NAACP, are proud
of the support, over many years,
of the national body and of the local 
chapters of AKA."
It was during the NAACP's recent 
annual convention in Los Angeles 
that Miss L. Pearl Mitchell,
an NAACP vice president and life
membership coordinator for AKA,
reported that within the past two
years her group had raised a total
of' $34,152.25 in life memberships
for the NAACP. At that time, she
assured delegates attending the Life
Membership Luncheon that this
was Just the beginning of a concerted 
fund - raising drive which
she expected would show even
greater gains in the future.

Clay has kept out of the Army

turned down his request that
he be reclassified as a conscientous
