Urban League Community Center
Has Successful Years Program

The Center Girl Scouts put their
fears In their old kit bags and
after a good hike spread their
blankets for a night under the
stars. The next morning they hik-
ed home full Of slumbullion, tired,
but happy. Miss Virginia Roxbo-
rough did splendid piece Of Com
munity service organizing a club
which took the name "Polly-wogs".
The menu for their all day out
ing was hot dogs a la fricasse over
an open fireplace.
The young people enjoyed the
hourse after playground closing
when Miss Ruth Rout unselfishly
and i nthe true spirit of the vol
unteers conducted her social dane
ing class. Arthur Randall likewise
did a fine service when he took
over the younger boys woodcraft
class which would have been dis
continued for the summer because
Of the lack of Adult leadership.
This summers program could
not have been carried out without
the splendid cooperation Of the
Board of Education, Dept. of Recre-
alton, National Youth Administra-
ton, Volunteer workers and the
people of our community. To all
of these agencies and individuals
the Detroit Urban League is deep
ly indebted. Through their efforts
we have been enabled to render a
greater Community service.

"An outcast l, l walk the Street
With breaking heart and weary feet;

For wretched days and nights of shame
pray that soon I'll meet Deaths kiss,
Twill fill my crushed, bruised heart with bliss,
A kiss by far, more pure, more sweet,
Than those l sell upon the Street"
For many years I've come and gone
Upon the Street, and now alone
With forttude, 1 wait the end,
The Street is now my only friend.

And when the ruthless hand of time
Shall make my round of life complete,
I'll pass, unmindful, from the Street"

My children, grown to lusty life,
Have all gone forth to join the strife;

At Life's dread chances they must take.

To seek the right and shun the wrong

Their safe return from off the Street"

The Urban League Community
Center, 1884 Chestnut Street has
recently completed a very success
full summer program. An extern
sive schedule has been outlined
for winter classes and clubs.
Through the cooperation of the
Board of Education, Dept. Of Recre-
alton the Urban League Center was
able to open and maintain the
Capron School playground during
the summer months. In addition
to the Capron playground a small
Ter playfield with children's
swings, slides, and sandbox was
operated adjacent to the Communi-
ty Center. All boys and girls UNI
der twelve years of age were urg-
ed to use the smaller playground to
insure their safety and enable
them to take advantage of chill
drens games and classes conduct
ed for their benefit.
During the torrid months Of July
and August the attendance on the
combined Fairgrounds exceeded a
total of 5000 persons. 1t is worthy
to note that all persons attending
either playground actually partici-
pated in one or more activities.
These included volley-ball, soft
ball, basketball, horseshoes,
swings, slides, games and check
ers. Many young people also took
advantage of the Community Cen
ter game room, which was open
ed every evening.
From the Capron playground
came the strong Urban League soft
ball team playing under the colors
of the Standard Mill Supply Com
nay These boys hung up the i'm
pressive record Of 81 victories in
80 starts. They emerged victories
in the last &c being the only unde-
feated team in the -Communi-
ty League, thereby, annexing the
championship
Concurrently with the outdoor
program a goodly number Of classe
were carried on within the walls
of the Community Center These
classes held in woodcraft, clay
modelling, sewing, Adult Education,
Safety Bible study and various
club meetings were attended by
more than 1000 individuals during
the summer months. The nu-
cleus of a fine library has been
placed in the Urban League Com
munity Center through the diligent
efforts Of Miss Malinda Wells. AL
though instituted only this summer
the library is fast becoming n
gathering place for those who en-
joy BROWSING through good books.
No comment on the summer pro-
gram Of the Urban League Center
would be complete without mention
of the outings Of the various club
groups. The Pen and Palette
Club under the leadership OF Myr-

including a day at Green Pastures

CHAPTER xxi

BY morning Julia's head had
cleared and she faced the world
with more courage than she had
been able TO summon before
Buchen's barrage Of questions. She
saw now that they had depended
much on a surprise attack, hoping
to uncover something. They had
taken her after a hard evening at
the White Club, when she was too
tired to stand, much less answer
questions.
In the light of morning she was
able to tell herself that nothing
could really happen to endanger
her. She knew nothing Of the in
trigue aboard the Wood Nymph. 1t
had been something which she had
sensed rather than witnessed-and
there was the added fact that she
had accompanied Woodford and his
party Evergreen Island much
against her will.
But what had Buchen meant by
saying that Woodford had suggested
the prosecuting attorney question
her2 Her Woodford simply given
Buchen the names Of his guests, or
had he somehow suggested that
Julia Craig was the most likely sus-
pect? The thought chilled Julia,
made her more than ever afraid
for, obviously, Woodford had all
along been trying to shield either
himself or someone else.
Nevertheless, armored by the
knowledge of her innocence, she
faced the new day with much more
clam than Amy could muster.
wearied into stupor. Julia had
been able TO sleep-but poor Amy
appeared at the breakfast table pale
and heavy-lidded. The shock Of
Nesbitt's death had been difficult
enough, but now with Julia dragged
into the mess, Amy was almost
ready for doctors and nurses.
~I'm scared, Julia. The morning
paper tells Of your being questioned,
and that the police say they are
putting-wait, I'll read It," She
picked up the paper, and read,
"'Police told reporters they were
putting considerable hope in the
testimony Of Julia Craig, better
known as Nadine White, night club
singer, who was aboard Woodford's
yacht"
THAT doesn't mean anything,
Amy. And there's something I want
you to do for me-"
whats that?"
Don't mention that you knew
Nesbitt. I told them that I'd known
Nesbitt for some time before the
yacht trip"
But, Juliai-that makes 1t just
that much worse for you'll"

One lovely spring Sunday in
church mans head bowed gently
forward In restful slumber. His in
dignant wife, sitting behind him,
trapped him sharply across the back
Of his neck with silver pencil
which she had in her purse. The
mans head jerked convulsively and
he slumped down in his seat, dead.
A psychology professor, shortly
afterward, speaking TO his class
about effects upon the human mind,
related this story and said that he
knew the wife OF the man very well.
He quoted her as having told him
that the man had seen, shortly be-
fore his death, moving picture
Of the French Revolution and had
read several books about II. The
wife of the man said her husband
had been dreaming OF the guillotine
when she raped him on the back
of the neck with the metal pencil
and the psychological shock killed
him. The professor was interrupted
BY one of his students with cry
