"Sunland Manson, the man with
a paunch. mot the kind Dempsey
used to K. o. Firpo), Thursday
night had one claim to fame, or
should We say notoriety. He was
the first man to be counted out
standing on his feet in the history
of amateur boxing in Imperial VAL
ley.
After absorbing number of
blows in the opening minute of the
first canto, Manson ran to neu-
trail corner, covered his head and
waited for Bill Tackett to count 10.
Naples, Mansons opponent, stood
in the other corner scratching his
head trying to puzzle out just what
was going on.
AS soon as Tackett concluded the
long count Manson nearly tore
down the ropes getting out of the
ring. And thus another record was
made at the Ell Centre athletic club
While we're on the subject Of
titles Herman Graves and Jack
Morrissette put up a magnificent
battle last night for the middle
weight crown. The Negro took and
dished out lot of punishment in
the widest fight witnessed in the
Ell Centro ring.
Morrissette scored the only knock
down of the fight but Graves came
up fighting and handed the Brawley
battler a merciless beating in the
fourth round to clinch a decision.
Cleo Shans demonstrated that ht
is about the toughest battler in The
valley Thursday night when he tool
four rounds of pounding from the
failing fists of Manuel Ortiz.
Ortiz, recognized as one of the
leading featherweights in the west
threw every punch in his bag o
tricks but couldn't even floor tn
Brawley battler.
Shans made battle OF it, how
ever, and after the fight was owe
he appeared as fresh as he did a
the start of the bout.

his neighbors' windows. But he didn't mind.
There was sense of adventure about it.
And it was wonderful to come out of the
darkness into such warm bright haven
The Puseys were incredulously happy.
Neither of them had expected happiness -
or indeed anything. Janet had been the
plainest child in family of plain under
nourished children. She was shortsighted and
had to wear glasses, and no one ever thought
to take her even to the movies. She was just
settling down to become one of those drab,
bent-shouldered women with pinched, color
less faces" and bitter mouths, who live no
one knows how or why, when Edgar fell in
love with her. 1t was too wonderful to be
believed. She grew almost beautiful in her
incredulity.
She didn't see that Edgar was an insig-
nihcant little fellow with spindly legs and
arms and nondescript face, or that he, too,
couldn't believe in the miracle of her loving
him. She didn't see that Mon Repos was an
architectural sham. It was her home. In it
Edgar and she became people who mattered,
important people who talked things over,
listened to each Others opinions and made
momentous decisions. They discussed where
they would 60 for the summer holidays and
whether they would choose August or Sep
tember. They decided on Ilfracombe in
September because, in September, places
weren't 50 crowded, and lodgings were
cheaper.
So on the fourth of August, Edgar went to
and from the city as usual - only coming
home he felt unusually important. He knew
things that Janet couldn't know. He was
going to astonish her. And there would be
Evening star., 1936-11-08

Stumbling home through the wet darkness,
he saw the lights of Mon Repos with heart
warm and big with thankfulness. Even he
hadn't realized what it meant to him. Janet
was almost frightened by his tenderness,
when she opened the door. Not being out in
the world, as it were, she didn't realize things
as he did. She said Don't be silly, Eddy"
And he couldn't explain. He held her fast, as
though he had almost lost her. But it was all
right. He wasn't going to lose her. It was just
that all this fighting and killing heightened
his joy in his own small quiet life.
Edgar was designer in an electrical busi-
ness. Before the War it had been small and
struggling affair. 1t became Key Industry.
And Edgar was Key Man. Tremendously
important. Edgar stayed overtime, pouring
over his blueprints, doing his extra bit

Ii themselves. They thought they could

would 60 on catching the morning train to
fthe city or drape their unacceptable bodies
over a barbed wire somewhere in France.
y And Edgar Pusey didn't even recognize
the necessity of choosing. He was modest
little fellow, quite Insignificant, and he hadn't
4 the dimmest idea that the world affairs which
splashed themselves across the newspapers in
bhuge headlines, could be any concern of his -
much less that he was any concern of theirs.
Whatever happened, he and Janet would

pened and they moved into more fashion
able suburb. Not that they were really keen
about moving. They loved Mon Repos. 1t
Twas a new house in series of new houses,
VERY red brick, with gables and bits Of real
stained glass in the front door and tiny
Igarden. When they moved in. the Lane was
lstill very much lane - in fact it was more
like cart-track. The real estate agent assured
them that it was only matter of time before
lit would be laid out elegantly with pavements
land street lights and trees.
But time is an important matter. And it
happened that so long as the Puseys lived in
IWindwood Lane, it remained distracted

had to pick his way by the dim lights from

something to talk about, the whole evening.
They've declared War =" he said, even
before Janet kissed him. They went into the
front room - the drawing room which they
only used on state occasions and which had
a curious smell of its own and Edgar read
aloud from the evening paper. They were
both shocked and elated too, as people are
who hear of something terrible happening to
someone else. Edgar said it was bad busi-
ness. 1t was going to cost the lives of a lot
of gallant fellows. And Janet said it was
shame and she never had liked these Germans.
She had to 60 out and see what was hap
pening to the chops, but afterwards they
went on discussing the rights and wrongs of
the case until they went contentedly to bed.
The next day Edgar brought big map and
lot of little colored flags which moved back
wards or forwards - mostly backwards -
according to the COMMUNICATES.
Edgar's map became quite local institu-
ton. The neighbors dropped in evenings, to
see what had happened to the flags and
Edgar explained carefully about salients and
Strengthening out lines and felt almost as
though he were running the war himself.
1t was like great game very upsetting
and terrible, of course, but exciting and not
without its good side. 1t brought you into
touch with the most unlikely people. Grim
looking business men talked to Edgar in the
over-crowded railway carriage They listened
to his opinion and shook their heads.
One morning after the first Zeppelin raid,
Edgar's chief ran into him coming out of
his Office and said Shocking business, Pusey"
and Edgar blushed and stammered eyes sir,
a shocking business As he said to Janet
that night, it brought people together -
gave them a sense of belonging to each
other. 1t made you appreciate your blessings.

We demand the abolition of dis
elimination against Negroes in
jury service in the courts and the
full right to participate IN the ad-

NAACP Confab
Adopts Resolutions

the State of Arkansas. We urge
upon Congress the passage Of le-
gislation which will directly 6ene-
fit disinherited sharecroppers and
provide for genuinely cooperative
subsidies for their welfare in
stead of legislating for the benefit
of landowners, banks and others
who would profit from human Mi
sery.
POLITICAL ACTION
We serve notice upon the poll
teal parties that we are fully a
ware of their shortcomings, both
so far as platform pledges are con-
cerned and fulfillment of those
pledges. We serve notice that the
Negro voter is becoming increas-
ingly intelligent and independent
and refuses any longer to be fool
ed by empty phrases and that we
will not forget broken promises.
We reaffirm our determination
to ignore empty party labels and
to vote for men and measures
which mean most to the greatest
number. We repudiate politicians
of all races who seek to advance
their personal fortunes at the ex.
pense of the Negro voter. We
pledge ourselves to utilize this
! power wisely, effectively and un-
selfishly in those states where the
Negro vote holds the potential bal
ance of power.

for equal educational opportunities
and against lynching. We hope a
greater number of daily papers
will give more notice to Negro
progress and successes as building
a better understanding and a bet
ter America for all people.

that all citizens shall regard the
ballot as a priceless heritage of

GRUBSTAkING FARMERS

More than $1,000 farmers in West
Virginia have significd their imten-
ton OF cooperating in the Agricul-
tnral Conservation program. Those
who put into effect ill.,. practices that
are recommended will receiv, grants
or payments form the federal govern
ment reimbursing them in part for
the expenditures they have made in
conserving and building up their soil.
Is the natiOna justified in spend
ing public funds in this way? Here
Is the answer given Ivy Ernest T..
Scholl, director Of agricultural ex-
tension work i'm Oklahoma. Mr.. Schol
points OUT that the federal grants are
an investment by the milton, and
then proceeds to justify the invest
Inent as follows:
Put it this way the nation needs
TO keep its soil resources to feed and
clothe 10000, 900 people. Therefore
lit is "grubstaking" farmers while
they build, rather than wreck the ma
TONS soils.
Farmers need that grubstake. Due
to high fixed costs of land and taxes
high costs of farming equipment,
and low prices Of farm products with

CT nations thrown back upon them.
ric,,lt,,ro hoe, hnan ,,,t 3, -, Doci
tion where it has had no choice but
to Give up its capital in oil fcrtil-
Iity.
The important question now is:
Will the farmers live up TO that
grubstake? If they do not work ont
and put into practice a permanent
system Of soil-fertility maintaining
farming, they will not only be vast
ing an opportunity that may not
come to them again.
Farmers have said emphatically
that they do not wan "relief." They
want equality of opportunity to buy
and sell, and the lifting of an ccono-
mic load that forced them to farm
soil unwisely. That's not relief. A
gnpbstake is not charity, it's an in
lvestment. They cannot expect the
nation to keep on grmbtaking them
however, unless they can show that
the investment is going to be profit
able to the nation. -
Like the grubstaked miner, they
have got to hit pay dirt. The pay dirt
lis there, in the soil under their feet
on every farm. IF they will make us,
of this opportunity, they can keep il
pay dirt for the rest of their lives
and insure the prosperity of future
generations. The nation is doing it,
part. 1t is now up to the farmers tC
do theirs.
