Saturday, January 18, 1941. "The Broader View ^ Of Public Welfare" At its meeting on January 8, 1941, the South Carolina Board of Public Welfare formally adopted and made public the following statement: ? Reviewing the work done by State and County Departments of Public Welfare during the past three and one-half years, the Foa-d wishes to express its high epp-oval of both the quantity and the quality of the work done, and its gratitude to Mr. Daniel, the State Director, his entire staff, and every county unit. County Boards and staffs have been most cooperative and effective in carrying out their functions, and to . overlook any worker in the Department would be doing less than Justice. The Board also wishes to apt ftenl to the entire public, and particularly to the members of the incoming General Assembly, to take the broader view of the public welfare program, and to look imnu'ly, tin effort?ta pwlde "a better way of life for all?a societv in which the more fortunate r members arc privileged to make definite and impartial provision to prevent actual " want on the part of those who are less fortunate but who have an equal right with all to the means of subsistence. None of us, so long as we have anything to Share, woulcl allovy our next-door?or our back-dooi neighbor?to suffer actual want mere.y because our budget would not balance, particularly if that neighbor is .in desperate need because of old age, blindness, or other physical handicap, or is a widowed mother struggling t o give her fatherless children a chance to become normal citizens. " It is our confident belief that the public and the General Assembly will willingly make provision for these needy neighbors of us all, once the pitiful fact of their desperate need is fully understood. One of the important duties imposgd-^jS^ law lip<fr\ the iDepart? men', of Public Welfare is to de vtrmine tnat need by careful impartial investigation, according to standards which are uniform sent the facts to the public and the General Assembly. This duty it has performed, we believe, in a manner that merits the hearty ap proval not only of this Board but of the entire citizenship of the state. It was a tremendous undertaking to set up and get into smooth operation an organization of tr.is type, and the task has constantly become heavier and more complex by reason of the many services demanded of the Department of Public Welfare which no one could anticipate and which were not imposed upon it by law. Among the more impor tant of these services, which State and County Departments have faithfully endeavored to perform may be mentioned the celectiolf ol CCC boys, distribution of. surplus commodities includinc fh? mni<i. ly expanding school lunch and food stamp programs, certification of applicants for free treatment of cancer, certification of applicants for WPA employment, securing and furnishing information to local Selective Service Boards in cases involving dependency of men selected for military training, and many others, The Rcard feels justified in as suming that the variety and ex^ tent of such services requested ol the Department of Public Welfare indicate public recognition of ef ficient performance by the Department of its legally imposed flu $ I W 1 BR! 1 I and bu I Guignai | WO tj Phone 5261.

McLean, presi j Co dent of Hampton institute by 19 Principal Russell: , ~*|m< "In view of the danger to de- th< mocracy brought on by the inter- wl .^national conflict involving the man xoi power, natural resource^ arid ide- as ologies of the "major powers of m< the world, the United ^Jstates is ID confronted with the task of insti I tuting a program of national uni-' ty and defense. ) se: as "Believing that the American Bt Negro is vitally concerned with Ni ajyl affected by any national pro fei fjra.ni to uphold and protect the "T inherent principles of democracy, the we, the Administration and Fac an ulty of St. Paul's School, hereby to go on record as concurring in the in? general spirit of the Conference on the Participation of the Negro fe . .In Nuiionol Defi'iiSeTTeTrat Hamp ed ton institute.

It "s be'ieves that our state will exert 1' itself, perhaps at some sacrifice, sa ' chance for a reasonable silbsis- etl ; tenc" as between the fortunate I to maintain a better balance or and the less fortunate, because wo ! belive history will show that ty- Pc 1, rnnnis and dictatorships have invariably grown out of poverty, I unemployment, want, and Hiscon- ^ i tent on the part of a large $ro- "J > po't;(5n of the people. | Th" Board amr tlie Department gi have tried faithfully to establish ar the program upon a basis of mer- bt 1, it and justice without political A favor or benefit to any person or T1 ,' group of persons.

William Morrow and company. ^ ^ i) In beginning his narrative, Mr. " Hullinger almost frightens us with the bold statement that: "The Negro race in America is ? still to a great extent a farming ^ people, its fate depending on what happens in the fields of this coun- j try and to the crops that come . from them." He points out the j 1 important andyet precarious posi-|. tion the American Negro occupies. ' He makes one wonder just what would happen to the American 1 Negro if the "agricultural door" , of opportunity should be sudden- * ly closed to him. and this ques- * tion arises, "Are there enough i * other occupations to sustain him I should /arming be taken away j ' from the Negro " Of course, the ' writer intimates that the Ameri- ' can Negro is safe-guarded in that * the Nation-depends so largely on 1 ' hint for the production of its major crops?cotton and tobacco.: < There is a sliehf indication, how-1 -ever, that the author minimizes j1 (he part which ?he Negro plays M in other occupations in order to bring to the Torefront what He I does in Agriculture. It is always difficult to characterize one group ? M 1 _ ...\ il - - i 1 vi peupie wntre mey are so ciose ly associated with another ,group, without making comparisons. The fact cannot be overlooked that the problems of Negroes- in Agriculture, as described by the writer, are primarily . problems of whitefarmers as well; and therefore, problems of the region. The author infers that more ( and more leaders of thought are ' coming to realize that the time is past when America can remain indifferent when any group of its citizens is being neglected. The writer touches lightly on < migration of Negroes from rural areas to urban centers, and from South to North. In the past few years, mass movement of Negro farmers^ has become a serious problem. Of?course, there are very definite causes for such move merits?both -economic and sociological. Despite this rapid Tran- i sition, the parent Negro stock still -remains in 'the Deep South, ' and jyhether or not we are-willing ' to Earn it It, the southern Negrt 1 determines very largely the attitude of the white man towprd the 1 Negro in America. i The recent depression proved that all farmers, including Negro-1 PS nPPflprl ?....... t I mivii ,u.an men- iorm-'j al instruction and inspirational j guidance. Hehfte, the new action agencies created by the United States Department- of Agriculture now engaged in rehabilitating an , almost hopele'ss mass of people ? Here Henry A. Wallace might be termed "the modern Joseph." who , set in motion these new agencies to bring about national recovery. The Movable School of Agrieul- ( ture and Home Economics is de- ( scribed as a unique type of teaching backward people, and certainly the most effective way of reacli ing unlettered individuals, Hooker Washington being given cred jt for thp id^", along with the Negro Farmers' Conference and the National Negro Health ..Week. The writer "X-rayed" the Negro situation in agriculture and "spotlighted" the work of the Cen 'i sus > Bureau by telling what Ne- < groes'are doing and the part, they play in national agriculture. Hen tells how many Negroes are still, I ( after 75 ^ears of freedom, at the! , bottom of the economic ladder? as well as pointing out' those who have attained a measure of ec?-j' numic ireeaom. Me wisely ered-lj its philanthropy with the progress of the Negro since emancipation,1, along with public aid. He puts . his finger on the vitaU* "sore" spots affecting the rural Negro j when he says "Chief among the t evils which the poor man on the , farm?small owner, tenant or la- v borer?has to face are poor hous- j ing, high mortality, insecurity and debt," and he feels that_ ra> other] ( problem recently aggravated by agency can' reach this dismal j the depression, except the Fed- , oral Govrnment. V ? The book is profusely illustrat ed "and contains -much valuable, 1 -factual data ''that could be very 1 us^ul lis supplementary readinp material for schools. However. ' it seems that legends to the pic j * tures would hhve made them more j ^ effective. It is Dleasina to note that tViel 1 author made liberal use of re- I ' ports of Negro Extension Apeuts ' from thV Southern Repiftn.
