The Ford Foundation has an
nounced that it would provide
(15 million to help strengthen
Negro colleges. The funds will
be granted as follows:
—5( million to the United Negro
College Fund for its campaign
to finance buildings and other
member institutions.
—(10 million tu a small num
ber of private Xi'gro liberal-arts
colleges that are members of
the Fund, to be selected over the
next year on the basis of their
academic quality and perform
ance and their future promise.
Must Match
The grant to the United Negro
College Fund campaign is subject
to the requirement that each
dollar donated by the Foundation
be matched by two dollars from
other sources. Grants to indivi
dual colleges may also entail
some matching provisions.
“These actions by the Ford
Foundation, which has long had
a primary interest in expanded
educational opportunity for all
Americans, reflect the special
need to expand the educational
horizons of Negro men and wo-
men," Henry T. Heald, president
of the Foundation, said.
“The Foundation will continue
to support institutions that en
roll both Negro and white stu
dents. But at present, when many
Negro students in higher educa
tion attend Negro colleges,'it is
essential that financial assistance
also be directed to them.
No Longer Negro
“The strengthening of these in
stitutions, some of which already
enroll a few white students, should
hasten the day when there will
no longer be all-Negro or all-
white colleges and universities.
HENRY T. HEALD
Helping Hand
“The nation’s educational sys
tern at ail levels has awakened
to the justice and necessity of
extraordinary efforts to raise the
educational sights and achieve
ment of culturally disadvantag
ed youth, many of whom are
Negro. •
*
The Ford Foundation for sev
eral years has assisted pioneer
ing efforts in schooling attuned
to the needs of such young peo-
' 'pie, especially in the major cities
of the nation. It expects to con
tinue such efforts and in the
meantime believes it is import
ant to improve the quality of the
colleges attended largely by Ne
gro youth."

Realization Of Dream,
HisDwn Beer Outlet
• See Picture on Page 28)
Charles L. Heyward is a young
man with ideas about his future;
typical of the new Negro think
ing, planning and working for a
better future in America.
This April, Charlie opened the
only Negro-owned beer distribu
tion outlet in Brooklyn, When
he stepped behind the counter of
his Ameroy Company home dis
tributing depot at 355 Franklin
Ave., he began the realization of
a long-cherished dream.
Through study and work he
had prepared himself to carry
out that dream. The months since
the opening of his retail-whole
sale outlet have already begun
to prove that he knew exactly(
what he was dreaming about.
“I’ve known for a long time,”
he said, "that the more busi
nesses we own as a minority!
group in American life, the better
our chances for full and com-,
plete equality. This is one of the!
roads that lead to respect.’’
Stacked high in his spacious
store are thousands of dollars
worth of merchandise that give
his customers a wide choice and
make him command respect when
ordering from wholesalers.
“When I first opened the
store,” he reminisced, “a sales
man came in, looked me over
and asked when my 'boss' would
be in. It was interesting to see
his attitude change when I told
him that I was the ‘boss’.”
Korean Vet
A Korean War veteran, Hey
ward received his bachelor’s de
gree in business administration
from Brooklyn College. He gain
ed on the Job experience as a
Junior assistant buyer and later
a sales manager in Macy's De
partment Store.
While still at Macy's, Mr. Hey
ward opened a supermarket of
his own, always with the thought
that someday he would become
a beer distributor. When In mid-
April he realized 'his dream, he
was a young man well prepared
to compete in business.
And each month, customers in
his neighborhood discover that
if they want a “buy”, in any
carbonated drink — whether it
is t>eer or soda — Charles Hey
ward’s shop is the one to visit.
