POOR SCHOOL BUILDINGS HIT Frankfort, Ky., Aug. 30--Many educators have lost sight of the purpose of education in their pursuit of a way of life. H. Fred Willkie, vice-president of Joseph E. Seagram & Sons Company, said in an address before the Institute for Principals of Negro Schools at Kentucky State College, Frankfort, Monday night. Speaking on "Negro Education in Postwar Kentucky," Willkie analyzed the charges of discrimination in the State's dual educational system. Willkie said the shortcomings of the school buildings for Negroes are outstanding, adding, "I count this serious but far from fatal to educational achievement." "The building program recommended by the Postwar Advisory Planning Commission would eliminate this disparity." he continued. "About $120,000,000 in school district bonds should be raised for this purpose alone. A further guarantee of equal facilities in the dual sys- (Continued on page 4)

DRIVE FOR WAR MOTHERS' HOME It was announced a few weeks ago that the mothers of World War I were in need of a home; that they were becoming old and destitute and unable to care for themselves. As a result William Warley, editor of the Louisville News, was asked to head a movement for the purpose of purchasing a home, a meeting was called last Sunday at the Y. W. C. A. and a campaign was launched to raise $15,000 for the purpose of building a home for the War Mothers. At the meeting the following temporary officers and campaign leaders were selected: William Warley, chairman; Mrs. Mary Alves secretary; Mrs. Salome Worthington, treasurer; R. L. Ransaw, chairman of the drive; A. D Doss, co-chairman; A. L. Garvin, vice-chairman; and J. E. Smith, assistant secretary.

NO STATUTE FOR "JIM CROW" RAILROAD AND BUS STATIONS, SAYS DUMMIT As a result of the inhuman treatment of the colored WACs in Elizabethtown, Ky., a few weeks ago, by white policemen because they did not leave the white waiting room fast enough, the question developed as to whether there was a statute in Kentucky prescribing separate waiting rooms in railroad and bus stations for colored and white people. Members of the special committee of the Louisville branch of the N. A. A. C. P. appointed to take the necessary steps in connection with the persecution of the case in the interest of the WACs, conferred with Attorney Ewbank [illegible] who represents the N. A. A. C. P. in the case, in regards to the statute on the "Jim Crow" policy. Mr. Tucker was of the opinion that there was no statute in Kentucky prescribing the separate waiting rooms, but to make certain of it, he wrote Attorney General Eldon S. Dummit at Frankfort, who wrote Mr. Tucker in part as follows: "From an examin  ation of the Kentucky Revised Statutes, we find nothing which requires separate waiting rooms for colored and white people in either bus or railroad stations." -- Help solve the postwar job problem.
