Rapid decline of youth cultural activities hit (EDITOR'S NOTE: The final Citizens Forum column on the "do's and don'ts" of a good citizen j by Mrs. Harriet C. Kelly, retired public school sys-

tem principal.) * * w

So seldom does one hear of anything or effort being

directed toward the cultural development of our young ’j people that we were really startled when we noted that j the church pastored by The Rev. R. T. Andrews is preI senting a talented organist's program for the culture of

j our youth. No tirkets! No admission fee? This must have called to the mind of many an

J organization sponsored by Mrs. Sally B. Henderson, the r mother of the late Mrs. Rose Thompson. This was "The j Ethical Culture Society" which on every Sunday in the I early morning spent an hour with things cultural, an hour directed, by Mrs. Henderson, one of the best-read

1 women it has been our privilege to contact. Most young persons who made the slighest claim to

! intelligence or to seeking a higher plane of living were * regularly found in these gatherings. Here there was no J admission charged and afterwards these youngsters, i loathing to separate, adjourned to some home or homes \ opened to them where they sang and wholesomely en-

I jyed each other's fellowship.

To the group resurrecting the word "culture," we tc whom the word was once familiar are grateful. Are we so mercinary that every occasion has its * money price? Do we feel that our young people need no

guidance along cultural lines?

Truly, long before Mrs. Henderson left us, we mar- ' veiled at the very slight attention paid her though she * had certainly, contributed so much of good to those now not so young. This is not forgetting that some few, very few, through cards and messages kept their benefactor knowing that they were appreciative. Let us remember that "Flowers on the casket cast no fragrance backward over life's way." Let us now encourage this effort of Mt. Zion Baptist Church to offer programs cultural rather than Sunday fashion shows and movies of non cultural value. Let us extend congratulations and offers of help to this group if we see the value of their idea of this way of con-

tributing to uplift.

Crispus Attucks to observe American Education Week

(By Special Correspondence) Amid the noise and dust resulting from the improvement of its physical plant needed to keep pace with its curriculum expansion, Crispus Attucks’ faculty and students bravely pursue the concept-Education Pays Dividends. Thus, the theme of American Education Week emphasizes the daily theme of the school, and the activities are planned to highlight the theme during the

week of Nov. 9-13.

Four activities have been planned through the cooperation of the community, the students, and the faculty. The first of these activities was held in the school auditorium on Thursday, Nov. 5. A panel of Attucks alumni composed of Robert Jewell, biologist at Eli Lilly; George Saunders, engineer at Peerless Pump; and Mary Holland and Shelia Brown, both employed at Peoples State Bank, discussed how education pays dividends in personal fulfillment and improved earning power. Attucks students Pamela Thomas, Ronnie White, Charles K. Harris, Rosalyn Cross, Gerald Thompkins, and Shirley White formed a group to ask questions of the speakers. Audience enthusiasm indicated ap-

Improvements for Douglass Park sought by civic group

preciation and approval. The second activity will be classroom visitations by parents throughout the week of Nov. 9. The Attucks faculty considers the visits to be important, and it urges parents to make such visits during the

school year.

The third activity will be a series of four luncheon discussion groups composed of college admissions personnel, Industrial leaders, PTA presidents of feeder schools, and a Distributive Education Interest group of distinguished citi-

zens.

The fourth and last activity is Open House, scheduled for Friday, Nov. 13, from 7-9 P.M. This activity, a first-of-its-kind for Attucks parents, will be unique. Parents are to take the place of their children and become students for the eve-

ning.

Classroom discussions will emphasize modern methods used in education. Parents will have an opportunity to compare methods used when they were students with the new methods. Interest is mounting as parents work with teachers to perfect plans to make this year’s open house a meaningful and successful experience.

A drive has been initiated to push for improvements at Douglass Park by the Oak Hill Civic Association, a community organization formed about six months ago with boundaries on Martindale to Keystone, and 25th to 30th, it was learned this week. A committee, headed by Robert Christopher has asked city officials to: 1. Paint the Douglass Park Community Center and repair the room. 2. Restore the tennis and volley ball courts and repair the light fixtures. 3. Pave the narking lot east of the center. Remodel the swimming pool and chain link fence around the pool, and build a wadeing pool for the younger children in the area. Letters have been mailed to Robert Goodrich, director of public parks; Phillip K. Hardwick, superintendent of recreation; C. L. Brown, superintendent of park maintainance; Rev. C.T.H. Watkins, president of the Metropolitan Park Board;

and Rev. James L. Cummings and Atty. Rufus C. Kuykendall, city councilmen. “We must begin now so money can be appropriated and work began as early as possible,” Christopher stated. He also said that favorable response had been received from Goodrich. The pool, as well as all others in the city, are scheduled for repairs in the spring, it was earlier learned. Pointing out that the repairs were being asked for all residents using the park’s facilities, Christopher said he welcomed any helpful suggestions for improvement from residents not living near the area as well as from those who do. Letters may be mailed to the Douglass Park Improvement Committee, Oak Hill Civic Association, P.O. Box 18088, Indianapolis, Indiana 46218. Members of the committee besides Christopher, who is chairman, are William Craig, Mrs. Regina Milton, Wendall Nance and Mrs. Thomas Sleet.

12 Negro foster parents win D.C. service awards

WASHINGTON (NPI) — Twelve Negro couples from the Washington, D.C., area were honored here last week by the District Welfare department for opening their homes and their hearts to foster children. At ceremonies in Howard university, the couples received the first Service Award to be dispensed by the welfare a-

gency.

Typical comment on the reason why they undertook to care for children not their own was expressed by Mr. and Mrs. Awkard, who became foster parents in 1960 at the ages of 63 and 71 respectively. Mrs. Awkard noted that her own 10 children had grown up and moved away and, despite the fact that they had 30 grandchildren—“we were lonely.” “I asked for four children, but they gave me six,” she recalled. “When I went out to meet them, I gave each of them

a big hug. I had baked a chocolate cake (and) they thought that was wonderful.” The Awkards are from 01ney, Md. Other recipients of awards were from Sandy Spring, Md., Arlington, Va., Falls Church, Md., and the Dis-

trict itself.

Bishop Nichols wins acquittal of $100,0110 embezzlement count

PHILADELPHIA (NPI) — The seven-year-old controversy between Bishop D. Ward Nichols and the African Methodist Episcopal church over the $100,000 which the suspended bishop is alleged to have embezzled and fraudulently converted to unofficial uses, moved into another phase here last week when a panel of three judges reversed a lower court jury conviction of the charges.

In an unanimous opinion by Judges Kendall H. Shoyer, Harold D. Saylor and Joseph Sloane, held that the commonwealth had failed “utterly” in showing that the bishop had done anything illegal. Bishop Nichols was indicted in September, 1958 on 42 counts charging misappropriation of $250,000 in church funds between 1952 and 1962. He had already been found guilty of embezzlement in a church trial in Jacksonville, Fla. During his first trial in court, which lasted a month, the 12 remaining indictments were reduced to the three on which the jury returned a guilty ver-

dict.

The bishop has been without salary or assignment since 1960. The general conference of the church, meeting in Cincinnati last May, voted to continue his suspension for another four years pending the outcome of the civil court action. Following the trial, the bishop’s legal representative, Atty. Abraham J. Bream Levy, appealed before Judge Shoyer for either a new trial or an arrest of judgement. Arguments were heard last July on the motion. t In rendering its decision, the : appeals panel granted an arI rest of judgement on the contention that the prosecution had failed to show that Bishop • Nichols had not done anything illegal with the funds in the special or general church account, which was “in his lawful possession.” The decision further added that “the Commonwealth offered unsatisfactory proof that the funds belonged to the church.” Unless further appeal is made against the ruling of the three-judge panel, Bishop Nich-

ols has only the final hurdle to overcome—that of the church suspension. As is presently set up, the judicial committee of the Episcopal committee will review the case and make a report to the general conference in 1968. The conference will then vote on whether to reinstate the prelate or not. Bishop Nichols attended the last general conference sessions in Cincinnati, but did not sit with the bishops. He was present simply as a minister of the church, with no official position.
