JACOBSHe helped to found the Narrogin Native Welfare Committee (later Association) in 1946 and served as its honorary secretary throughout the 1950s. The N.N.W.C. lobbied for better living conditions, higher educational opportunities and full citizenship rights for Aborigines. At the administrative level, Jacobs was often at odds with the Native Affairs Department and campaigned for the Federal government to take charge of Aboriginal affairs. The N.N.W.C.'s attempts to intervene in cases of police brutality against Aborigines also caused friction with local officials. Suffering from tuberculosis, Jacobs spent periods in Hollywood Repatriation Hospital, Perth, in 1947, 1950, 1952 and 1955. At the first federal conference of the Aboriginal Advancement League, held in 1958, he presented the N.N.W.A.'s demands for radical reforms, including land, fishing and mining rights.[ADB entry]Alfred Nailer414A.N.106038803224JACOBS A.N. : Specific terms.Stood unsuccessfully for parliament 19348803424JACOBS A.N. : Specific terms.Stood unsuccessfully for parliament 19448803524JACOBS A.N. : Specific terms.Stood unsuccessfully for parliament 19688801731JACOBS, A.N. : Scotch College8803733JACOBS A.N. : Death 26 Jan 1976 @ Narrogin [ WA Australia ]8200527JACOBS A.N. : Medicine.M.B., 1925, University of Melbourne8200627JACOBS A.N. : Medicine.B.S., 1925, University of Melbourne8803824JACOBS A.N. : Life.Birth 11 Jul 1897 - @ Surrey Hills [ VIC Australia ]https://discoveringanzacs.naa.gov.au/browse/person/228268531Not listed on Roll of Active Service.
