U uier the leadership of HugJi Funk vice-president of the Indiana National Bank and Henry J. Richardson Jr., prominent attorney and civic leader, the 1960 United Negro College Fund Campaign has surpassed last year’s goal with $21,000 raised to date, although $9,000 short of its goal of $30,000. The 1960 campaign has suspended

its efforts until next fall.

Atty. Richaidson complimented the outstanding work done by some alumni groups and M‘:bs Phyllis Waters, a member of the executive commitee, but cniticized the lack of moral concern and dedication of many of the alumni groups who fell down on the job. He hopes that they will make up their deficiency during the months

'of October and November.

Mr. Funk, through his deep concern and great effort was able to secure many new contributors who in the past had not been concerned with the UNCF. The 1960 chairman observed, “The campaign has not only been challenging and enightening but also a great opportunity for a broad service of need.’ Through his personal efforts, At-

Nourishing, tasty meals that are easy to prepare are on the menu for the 55,000 Boy Scouts—all “do-it-yourself” cooks —who will encamp July 22-28 in the mountain country near Colorado Springs, Colo., for the Fifth National Boy Scout Jamboree. As a boon to the amateur chefs, jamboree commissaries have laid in heavy stocks of convenience foods—for example, more than 123,000 cans of condensed soups for use both as soup and as a time-saving ingredient in other dishes. Leroy Kirkland, 12, and Terrance Holliday, 13, both New York City scouts, give a pre-jamboree test to their cooking skills with a recipe for “Jubilee Burgers”—hamburgers glorified in a sauce of soup.

(ANP)—The true story behind the wholesale slaughter by a white businessman ot three of his Negro employes and the wounding of two others may never be known. The businessman. Robert Fuller, \who employed Negro help to clean •’out septic tanks, told police the five workers attacked him with 'hunting knives and linoleum hooks. . . HOWEVER, friends of relatives of the slain men claim that Fuller was abusive and had slapped one of the men earlier and that the workers were grossly underpaid and often cheated out of their meager earnings But it is possible that their testimonies were taken lightly by police. Onthe other hand, much was being made of the testimonies ol Fuller, 40, and one of his neighbors, Mrs. R. W. Sherman. Police also said Mrs. Sherman told them one of the men said they came to get Fuller. _ , „ i Why they came to get Fuller? ' According to police, Fuller admitted he hit one of the men during ; li argument the previous day, after he cursed him. The man, Carley Gibson, 21, one of the two wounded, had bashed another white man with a shovel in an earlier altercation and threaten1 ed to do the same thing to him.

Fuller said.

Later, while insisting that the men had come to get him, Fuller I all but admitted that they at first ' just wanted to discuss Fuller’s truble with Gibson, particularly his striking him “We don’t like what you did to Gibson. Come on down hte road, we want to talk to : to you,” Fuller quoted one of the men as saying. During their argument Fuller said Gibson told him, “I smashed one white teeth out and I’ll do another.” Meanwhile, police were holding Fuller on an open charge, pending an Investigation’, despite the admitted wholesale slaughter. Fuller had blasted the men with a double-barreled 12-gauges hotgun He reloaded the gun several times and fired repeatedly at the

men.

At no time did we intend to imply that all were guilty of this gross negligence for nothing would be further from the truth. There are thousanas of good Recorder readers who know what it means to inspire a youngster in his or her effort to do something constructive to earn an honest dollar. They pay all of their bills regularly and on time regardless of the amount. They know as you know that each of us likes to be PAID because that’s the only thing that makes WORK attractive to the most industrious of us. To which we say a hearty AMEN. However, we are h£ppy to report that those who were guilty of this almost unpardonable sin are beginning to “Get on the right track, baby” and are paying the carrier when he or she delivers The Recorder. We believe that they are happy, the carrier is happier and we ate happiest. Man, Yeah!
