Colored Boy Wins
$4,000 in Contest
Milton Knight, of WilkesbOro,
Gets Money and Coveted
Bicycle; Interested in Art

Milton Knight, age Is, son of Fred
knight and wife, colored residents
of Wilkesboro, has cause to be one
of the happiest boys in the country
he has just received from Dodge
automobile corporation $500 as Sec
ond prize in an essay contest recent
ly sponsored by the company.
Knight, a senior at Lincoln
Heights high school, prepared the
essay on the subject, "Why Now Is
Good Time to Buy Used Car or
Truck" Having natural inclinations
on the subject of art, he illustrated
his essay with pictures.
In reply to questions from the
company he said that he intends to
use the money to get education and
training in art but he first purchas-
ed bicycle, having previously re-
peatedly expressed desire to own
one.
His parents moved to Wilkes in
October last year in order that he
hight be in reach of a good colored
high school, His father works at any
jobs he can pick up and his mother
is regularly employed at a local
pressing club. Both were more ex-
cited than the boy when the letter
came advising them that he was
winner of $500 and that the check
was on it's way. The boys first re-
action was 'Now, I can get my BIZ
cycle"

a detective as ribbon clerk is like
Max Baer. Still, he has got a hawky

are usually Deep"
Margit's response was succinct:
Shut up. I've got to think" Margit
thought steadily for long time with
out making any particular progress
Finally Felice said calmly, 1--WE might

dinner, after all"
But they didn't. Margit and Felice
