Governor Urges Training For School Dropouts NOBLESVILLE — Hoosiers should begin to provide some type of training for work for the thousands of unemployed school dropouts, many of whom run afoul of the law each year. This was the key point stressed by Gov. Matthew E. Welsh during his address the past Friday night at the Junior Chamber of Commerce Sendee Award banquet. Commenting on the number of unemployed youths who end up i behind bars, Welsh said: “If we are ever to run anything more than an expensive boarding house for those who misbehave, we must do much more in offering vocational education and the op- I portunity to put this education j to practical commercial use.” Unemployment, however, the i Governor pointed out, is not confined to law violators. He noted chat unemployment in the 16 to 21 age group is twice as high as the general population. “The out-of-work, out-of-school youth is our greatest single source of juvenile delinquency and

crime.” he added

Welsh acknowledged the progress in the “youth work training area” made by citizens and private organizations and urged that businessmen, chambers of commerce, unions, civic organiza- i tions arid individuals should join in to give youth a chance to earn.

'T'HE term biopsy is derived from * two Greek words, bios meaning life and opsis meaning vision. Biopsy is the removal and examination of tissue or other material from the living body for the purpose of diagnosis. Usually this examination is made microscop-

ically.

Biopsy is a simple procedure and, in many instances, can be performed in the physician’s office or clinic. Depending on the location and the condition to be checked there are several methods for obtaining a biopsy. A section of tissue may be removed by cutting with a knife. Surface biopsy is obtained by curettage or scraping. A less frequently used method is to rub a sponge over a lesion to obtain cells, particles of tissue and tissue juices. Aspiration biopsy is sometimes done by suction of cells through a hollow needle. Punch biopsy is performed by inserting an instrument of small caliber into a selected tissue and removing a mass of

cells.

The biopsy of deep seated lesions such as in the stomach and liver, or in breast tumors, requires hospitalization and operating room technique. The biopsy material is .pent to a pathologist, skilled in that branch of medicine which treats the structural and functional changes which cause or are caused by disease. After careful study of the specimen the pathologist will give the verdict as to whether or not a diseased condition appears in the tissue.

LBJ Proises UNCF as Halfway Mark Is Reached WASHINGTON (ANP) — The $50 million capital fund raising drive for United Negro colleges neared the halfway mark over the holidays and President Johnson wired congratulations to- the fund drive chairman, Charles G. Mortimer, chairman of General Foods Corp., White Plains, N.Y. The drive was launched by the late President Kennedy in a special program at the White House last Sept. 12. AT THE TIME PRESIDENT* KENNEDY took note of the fa^T that most of the 32 participating colleges of the United Negro College Fund needed additional [monies for capital improvements, faculty salaries and student finan-

cial aid.

, This drive for funds is in addition to the annual UNC Fund drive which since 1944 has collected nearly that amount which has been used primarily for operating expenses of the colleges. President Kennedy told members of a national committee established to head the drive that he was struck by the fact that “these institutions enroll 25,000 students — 3/4 of all the Negro youth attending four-year private colleges and universities in the deep South.” | In praising the work of the committee thus far, President Johnson asked Mortimer to continue the campaign through the first quarter of 1964. The President added; “Imoroved facilities for these Ne.fro colleges are an imperative need.” Dr. Frederick D. Patterson, founder and first president of UNCF. said the $50 million campaign presents “an unparallelled

because of Celtor's occasional buckling under. Still there were times when Smith, trying to save the South’s “way of life” and Its “customs and usage” sounded- utterly ridiculous and evoked laughter from the

spectators.

’ It was downright embarrassing for Celler to have to admit that according to the terms of the public accommodatioirs section, the owner of a beauty , shop or barbershop in a hotel or-motel could not refuse to service a Negro—while the owner of similar establishments across the street could refuse—and get away with it. Smith resurrected the controversial “Mrs. Murphy’s Boarding House” issue and brought it back

to haunt Celler.

nedy had not included in his original bill. Smith wanted to know why this was donei f the President had not asked for it. Wisely, Celler evaued the question by answering simply that it was the will of the committee members who worked on the bill. In spite of Celler’s explanations, Smith could not understand or accept that “custom and usage” in the South meant the "law” and Negroes have suffered as much for breaking “custom and usage” as they have for breaking statues

on the book.

Smith felt the bill was trying to change the South’s way of doing things and he didn't think it was fair. Time ran out on Celler and he is scheduled to appear again this week for rriore—as he put it— “abrasive” questioning.

Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Ethel Edwards, and a son, Emerson Edwards of Columbus, O.
