In coping with the problem, the

The United Nations Relief and
Rehabilitation Administration this
week announced the appointment of
John P. Bond to the adm inistrative
staff of that organization. Mr.
Bond is now in training as a field
welfare officer for the European
Mission.
Before joining the staff oL
UNRRA, Mr. Bond served for 16
months as a club program director
for the American Red Cross in
Australia. He also visited New
Guinea while in the South Pacific.
A graduate of Howard and Cor
nell Universities, Mr. Bond has had
several yeprs of experience in edu
cational projects. Before the war
he taught dram atics and English at
Agricultural and Technical College,
Greensboro, N. C., and was director
of the Negro Division of the N a
tional Youth Administration for
the State of North Carolina. At the
outbreak of the war, he was tran s
ferred to Washington, D. C., where
he directed the NYA W ar Training
Program for Negroes.
He is the author of several books
and pamphlets about the Negro,
the best known being “The A'egro
in NYA.”
Mr. Bond is married and the
father of two children. His family
resides in Washington, D. C.
W ith the season of sheeted gob
lins, leering pumpkin faces and ap
ple bobbing upon us, it’s time to
recall that all those vital account-
rements to Halloween are under
OPA price ceilings. The false faces,
tic-tacs, and other novelties dear
to the hearts of lusty American
children should cost no more than
they did last year at this season.
Call the price clerk at your own
local OPA board for this informa
tion—and ask about the price of
cider in your town too. Cider and
Halloween are inseparables.
