CORE MEMBER THROWN OUT: CORE member Simeon Gentry, a polio victim, is being thrown out of the door of the Phoenix Hotel in Lexington, Ky. The Lexington CORE chapter has maintained picket-lines and sit-ins at the hotel since negotiations broke down following the refusal of the Phoenix Coffee Shop to serve Negro members of the Boston Celtics.

both Negro patients and physi cians in Alabama, has been referred to by his colleagues as “an octogenarian member of the National Medical Association with a

new frontier outlook.

Dr. Pierce S. Moten, who was pictured on the cover of the National Medical Asociation’s official organ—the Journal, recently wrote a brief, but comprehensive, story of his life and work for the magazine’s column “Medical History.” The Journal described Dr. Moten as being “unable to be as phy;ically active as has been his Wont, but maintains the keenest*interest ;n current developments on the medical front and, with the insight lerived from his long experience, never fails to perceive their significance for his colleagues and the people of, Alabama, whom he served so long and vffell.” A native of Winchester, Texas, Dr. Moten has been the “spark dug” of the Alabama State Medical Association.^He has been esoecially helpful to the'Journal in securing facts which no one else “seemed tq know where to locate,” and in procurement of materials and references for projected historical articles oh medical circum-

stance in Alabama.

Dr. Moten has rendered important service in many areas during sis 55 year medical career. These have been recognized in several rbcent honors accorded him by different groups of his community and state, the Journal reports. The common sentiment of these is well reflected in a statement to him by )r. Frederick D. Patterson, formi rly president of Tuskegee Instinte and ’now president of the

Phclps-Stokes Fund:

“You have written a chapter in the history of medical aid to Negrons in Birmingham, Alabama, and the South which is an outstanding contribution by any standard and worthy of preservation n the historical annals of medical

education.”

In his article, written exclusively for the Journal, the 1900 Tus-*' kegee graduate describes his stulent days at Tuskegee Institute ind Meharry Medical College, his experiences and inspirational guidance received while working under such physicians as Dr. A. H. Kennibrew, then at Tuskegee; Dr. C. L. Swain of Columbus, Ga.; and Dr. J. E. v Perry of Chicago, among

others.

Dr. Moten includes in his sketch his struggle for equal medical D-eatment for Negroes in Florida an ! Alabama, the setting up of oractice in Birmingham, and the establishment of the Southside Health Center. Dr. Moten, also ilayed a significant role in obtaining better educational and recreation facilities for Birmingham’s Negro residents. He is presently affiliated with f he Holy Family Hospital in Birmingham and as a member of this staff took an active part in drafting its constitutions and by-laws. F hus laying the foundation for its full development to the status of an accredited hospital.

Ghana Granted Huge Loan for Dam Project WASHINGTON, D.C.—The U.S. State Department announced last week that the President has decided favorably on loans of $133 million to Ghana to help build the Volta Dam and aluminum smelter project. The President’s conclusion was based on explorations of his factfinder, former steel executive Clarence B. Randall. Mr. Randall explored possibilities of the project, all aspects including reported leftist leanings of President Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana. OFFICIALS said the conclusions on the loan are based on a judgement that U.S. foreign policy has more to gain from the U.S. participating than from withdrawal. Further the project is economically sound, and worthwhile, and that enough safeguards have been taken against political and economic hazards. The United States, Ghana, England, the World Bank and private interests are all joining in the enterprise. It is expected to cost a total of $324 million and take more than five years to build. The $196 million dam project will provide electricity south of the Sahara and will be the largest in that section of Africa. Profits from the $128 million aluminum plant are slated to be enough to pay for both the dam and the smelter. "FINANCING of the Ghana projects, contributions will include: U.S. government $37 million lent to Ghana for building the dam; $96 million lent to the Volta Aluminum Co., the Kaiser Alumi-num-Reynolds Metals consortium of U.S. aluminum producers for bulding the smelter. U.S. authorities venture that the project will pay for itself and will be of great importance to the economic development of Ghana. Through negotiations that had been under way since the Eisenhower administration, the United States, in the eyes of Africans had become committed to the' project.

— READING MY MAIL: “Dear Ron. Read your article weekly and have since you started writing it but why hasn’t your column been in the paper lately—don’t you write anymore? —Tom Jones.” DEAR MR. JONES: As you see I’m okay enough to answer your letter but I’m not completely in any Ho-ho-ho mood. Doctors have advised me to slow down some and eliminate unnecessary worrying. I do hope, however, to continue writing “Out of The Woods,” with the hope that you will follow it as close in 1962 as you have in 1961. “DEAR MR. WOQDS: Read your article on the death of Ward Griffin. It *was well written and must have expressed exactly how you felt. When I die I hope that my obituary will read exactly like his. Sincerely, Fulton James, Jr.’’ DEAR MR. JAMES: No need to worry about how your obituary will read. If you will win the love admiration and respect of your fellow man (as Ward did) then your obituary is already written. Good luck! “DEAR RON: I heard that Gloria Carpenter . mentioned several fellas she described as being “Dopes” and your name was mentio^d. What happened between you two? You were always so gushy about her when you put her in your column. But what’ve you done to her lately? You must have written something to make her leave you off her list of compliments. Anyone who isn’t a friend of Gloria is no friend of mine, so you can go to hell. . “P. S.: I dare youto print this!” DEAR S. C.: I have nothing whatsoever against Gloria Carpenter or anyone else, and I hope she doesn’t have anything against me. I believe that anything Miss Carpenter had to say concerning me she would have said it to me because she’s that kind of a girl. Although I write gossip I’ve never learned to allow it to distort my opinion of a person. And I would advise you to follow that line of reasoning. And as for where you told me to

go-j-well, I’ll give the matter my deepest consideration. WOODS OF WISDOM GOD gave man two ends, One to sit on and one to think with. Man's success depends on the one he uses most—like, BOOM!
