IP Less than a fortnight since 60 or more leaders of the Negro race met in Columbia in the home Drr Robert" Wv Mance ttr pay tribute to Dr. S. R. Higgins, newly flt?er-e4- Lrn?ir1f)nt of A Mt?n univer sity and Dr. E. A. Adams, newly elected Secretary of Education in the A. M. E. church. Dr. Adams was presented m a fine way by President J. J. Starks of Benedict, the dean of college} presidents in South Carolina Dr. Briggs, the sociologist at Benedict, presented and introduced Dr. Samuel R. Higgins. The meeting took the form of a "smoker" with Mr. Willis C. Johnsor. a? master i of ceremonies. Musical numbers were rendered by several arti-t? and the" response -behalf of the group was ably delivered by Dr H. W. Baunfgardner. the psychologist at Allen. Making this comment may not be of importance for its news value, but there is a f.ne thought growing out of sucft a meeting, and the promoter, Dr. Mance, a gain 3hows his -fir.e Apir'it as & race leader as he h? dor.e many times before. Race/leaders of all profess ions denominations should get together in spirit and understanding for racial better ment. Through proper understanding people reach proper conclusions upon vital issues and there Is created a oneness of pur pose that will sooner -oii-later redown to the best interest of the community. THE SENIOR BISHOP .J.hose who attended the recent session of the Palmetto Conference of the A. Mr K-. ?ebtrreh in Georgetown last week returned with praise of the highest nature for the rulings, and manner in which Bshop J. S. Flipper conducts his conferences. Every man is given a fair chance and allowed to use his "sunshine". Men who come up with "rouriKi reports" never suffer at thP hands of the Bishop, they say. That there- is a scramble ^montf the aspirants for General Conference elections is no fault of the Bishop. The 1936 General Conference cut the representation fif- , ty percent. It is a hard cam- I paigm. The remedy is with the 1 delegates to the next General Con- ' ference. ( The Palmetto Leader has always had hiffh respect for the ripe <; judgement, rich experience and ' fine leadership demonstrated for * years by the Senior Bishop of the " A. M. E. chuicv."

Other Farm Credit Administration officials presented were Messrs. S. D Sanders, Coperative Bank Com. nissioner; A. C. Sullivan, Deputy Intermediate Credit Commissioner and Milton Rygh, Assistant Direc. tor of-the Credit Union Section. Mr. Reid welcomed the agricul. tain, of the recent Farm Credit Ad ministration publications which he thought would be of value to tea .hers of agriculture. In addressing the group, Gover nor Hill emphasized among other 'hings, the importance of educat. " .it u.c proper use ?i credit and in careful financial planning. He ;aid that credit could be helpful f properly used, but quite danger [ou3 if improperly used. He cautioned against '.he inclination too. ver borrow and advised the work, ng out in advance yf a repayment olan which could reasonbly expect 'o be met in the normal course of farming. Governor Hill described the Farm Credit Administration as a -ystem under which, the Government is trying to help mers help themselves to establi ? co. t/pe-ratjve -credit?system t?, meat *heir individual needs. The Gover nor assured the agicultural lea lers of the interest of the Farm Credit Administration in 'Ifieir work and observed that vocational agriculture t,eaehers have a 'real opportunity to assist jn improvinR 'he business end of farming and placing it upcm a much sounder basis." He expressed appreciation of the efforts the vocational agri. ultnro o-- ? i-:_. ??cie Iiianin^ in his field and sugpested that "by working together in this direction onn 'go places.'" Mr. A. S.

He expressed .hat the thoupht that a prospective rarm purchaser should always lave "a stake to start with, a mar "in of safety to work on." "If the nirchaser has no stake to start vith. said Mr. Goss. "he should ret it, work for it as a tenant or n some other wav whereby he can iccumulate the 25 per cent pav. nent necessary for buyinp." He /arned against the unwisdom of orrowing to make the down pay. TV r !: MAYBE SO AN ; ; (By W. H. i > PRIVATE -AND P *? I was interested sometime ago in a discussion carried on by a club of young people. The arguement was relative to what this grbup shouUl.do in reference to a certain proposed project. Some argued that they s&w no .'.arm in the public project?people lid worse things in private. Others "contended that there is a difference in public and private indiscretions. ' ' With this latter group I agree; Jo you? Our conduct should conform to standards set by groups jr organizations with which we are identified?home, church school and the like. One may do things privately which may only involve himself in a restricted area. That ^anie tthing done publicly may re^l fleet discredit upon the group of .vhich the doe rrepresents. Public indiscretions axe more far reaching that privatte ones. VVhen wcl are idenmed with CCr-1 tain reputably insliluliuns?-which I sands for certain ideals, we are | ment. The-Commissioner emphasized the fact that it is the aim of the Farm Credit Administration to help farmers get out of8 debt, not to get them into it. I Mr. Ct R. Arnold, Production Credit Commissioner, explained the functions of the production, credit association branch offices established in the various agricultural'counties_for the convenien ice of those seeking short-term credit. He explained that the 'branch offices give the same ser. Ivice as headquarters offices and yet avoids all the expense that (would be required in setting up another assdttation. Mr. Arnold stated that from 20 to 25 per cent of the production credit hssociat ion borrowers .in the four states "~nf the Columbia (&>uthCarolina) District were colored; 19 to 20 per "fent in-the-three-states of the New Orleans (Louisiana) District, and 10 per cent in the whole state of Tovoc cniH that thp lffssos on -U1 production credit associations loans for the whole TJrii?e<J~Stater were less that one half of 1 per c.ent. .

Bethune-Cookman Day at World's Fair Saturday afternoon, October 7th was an epoch-making period for Bethune-Cookmam College, when one of the most outstanding pieces of publicity ever conceived for the College, was most successfully con summated. At two o'clock in the afternoon, twenty members at the Trustee and Advisory Boards, (residents of New Yfrrk and vicinity) gathered in the beautiful, modernistic office of Mrs. Vincent Astor, World's Fair National Advisory Committee Building, to discuss the financial situaticm of the school at this time, and to plan for the completition of the first unit of the endowment campaign. It may be ii-called that this first unit of the work was launched in March of last year, and it is hoped that the total amount needed to bring the endowment total to tthe requir ?d $200,000 tvill be secured by January, 1940. Dr. M. J. Holmes, Sec ! reary for the Negro Institutions of the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was present at this significent meeting.

As an individual in the privacy of ouj- own personal area we may act im a certain way because it affects no one save ourselves. What we do may be wrong, but because we represent nobody save ourselves, we reflect no discredit on our group publicly. A wrong perhaps but not far reaching. Because a thing does not harm us personally is no reason for flaunting that thing in the face of the public scrunity.

Fire Hazards in nearly 10,000 ur. ban homes have been lessened oz entirely eliminated through the 1 aid of the Federal Housing Administration according to H. E. Bailey, FHA State Director. This aid was rendered through the property improvement credit loans made available under Title 1 of the FHA program, "Through these loans, which ?? . U *rt rr,r\ it aj aiiivunv iu ao II1UV.II US f6?UVV and are repayable in easy monthly payments over a period of up to three years, hundreds of South Carolina families bave-modemized and repaired their horties," Mr. Bailey declared. "It is common Knowledge that dwellings in a poor state of repair contain more fire hazards than a modern home, and in modernizing their homes with our property improvement .redit loans, these families automatically eliminate many hazards which otherwise would be a con. tinous threat to their lives and property." The Fedreal Housing Adminis. tration has insured approximately 30)000 property improvement credit loans in the urban canters that "have totalled -nearly $12,000,000, Mr. Bailey reported. These loans 1 averaged approximately $385 each. I Property Improvement credit loans may be obtained through any approved lending institution and , may be used to make any kind of improvements or repairs to dwell, ings which become an integral part of the structure. Borrowers, if they have a good credit record I and enjoy a reputation of honesty j and integrity in their community, are not usually required to pro.' vide any security, other than their personal note, for the loan which will be insured by c the Federal Housing Administration. It will be a character loan and may be repaid in equal monthly installments over a period of as long as three years. THE NEW ENOREE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION The sixty.second annual session of the New Enorce Baptist Association met October 13.15 at the Seekwell Baptist church of which Rev. M.. L. Roberson is pastor. After the devotional period Fri^ day morning Rev. B.W. Williams was presented to the body to de. nver tne introductory sermon. Rev. Williams used as a subject "Stay in the Church." We were greatly thrilled spiritually as he broke to us the "Bread of Life." The general enrollmernt o f churches, ordained ministers, li_ centiates, delegates and annual members were called for and each number of addresses were delivered throughout-the-session, and a mong the many we found these to be the most outstanding: "The Church of Tomorrow," by Rev.
