History Aid
For Teachers
A 14 - page "Revised Negro
History Guide for Teachers" has
been made available to city
schools by the Interborough Neg
ro History Committee.
The stated aim of the guide
is to help teachers to convey to
elementary school children an
understanding of the “contribu-
tioos of the Negro and the im
pact of these contributions upon
American culture" and also “to
guide pupils in understanding the
aceulturative process in Ameri
ca in relation to the Negroes’ as
similation in the United States."
The guide was drawn by a
committee of nine teachers cn
the staff of PS 93 in Brooklyn,
chaired by Edwina C. Johnson.
The printing of the revised edi
tion was made possible through
a grant from the Jamaica branch
of the NAACP.
The guide's presentation is,
centered around the theme of
‘prominent persons and their
contributions" in numerous fields.
It has a suggested bibhograpny
variously recommended for
grades 3 through 7, teachers* ref
erences and an audio - visual
aids list. There is also a useful
calendar of events and birth
dates at the front of the guide.

To people
OVER 65
and to their sons and daughters
Metropolitan has developed a new series of policies covering
expense of hospitalization wi ich will be issued at all ages 65
and over. These policies can mean a great deal to the peace of
mind of senior citizens and their families in time of need
brought about by age or sickness.
The premiums on these policies may be paid by the older
people themslves—or by their children who may have the
ultimate responsibility for hospital bills. And—under present
income tax laws, these premiums are treated as medical ex
penses of the taxpayer or his dependents for purposes of income
tax deductions

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The

last week urged passage of a
Senate bill to establish a federal
fair employment commission.
In a statement submitted to
the Senate Subcommittee on Em
ployment and Manpower, Walter
H. Wheeler. Jr., acknowledged he
had formerly not advocated a na
tional fair employment law, be
lieving instead that legislation
should be left to those states
“where the majority of employ
ers voluntarily practiced equal
ity of job opportunity.”
But, he said, “the hastening of
the voluntary process I had hop
ed for has not come about.” Only
19 states, Including Connecticut,
have enforceable fair employ
ment laws, he told the subcom
mittee, and “It seems to me that
