READINCPACES
CANDIDATES


The name OF City Clerk Richard
W. Reading. candidate for Mayor
OF the City OF Detroit led the list
OF nominees when the closing hour
for the filing OF nominations ar
rived last Saturday afternoon.
Political prognastigators predict
that the coming primary. October
5th. and election. November End
will bring out q heavy vote.
II is generally agreed that as
Mr.. Reading is an impartial can
didate his name will also lead the
list when the nnal count OF the
votes OF election day. November
End. Ia known. Never before In any
Detroit election campaign has a
candidate been presented to the
people whose record is more accep-
table than that OF Mr.. Reading
when the equal regard to race,
color and creed Is considered.
There are five candidates for
Mayor In the held this year and
none OF their records can even
come close In comparison with that
OF Mr. Reading, particularly as re-
CARDS consideration made 10 the
Negro worker. He has colorsd men
and women on his personal staff
and by virtue OF his office az
Chairman OF the Election Commits
sion he has placed hundreds OF Ne
groes on the election boards in the
wards and districts throughout the
city where they make their homes
In any number.
BY the same token. Mr.. Reading
has never shown any partiality to
any particular group and that ia
what has ito appeal TO the Negro
citizen. They do not expect. nor do
they want, any more consideration
than may be their just share. and
above all, they do not care for
prediction campaign promises
that prove to be hollow in the end.
Il appreciate the fact that there
Is much hard work ahead OF me.
and ahead OF my friends as well, In
bringing my campaign to q sue
cessful conclusion, but am inspir-
ed by what others are doing In my
behalf said Mr.. Reading. when
the nominations closed.
AS ! said some weeks ago, l am
not In favor OF prediction bum
KUN, and l most certainly am not
going TO promise the peop/ OF De-
troit nor any group OF people In
Detroit anything, but what my
oath OF office would or should,
make mandatory OF any chief exc
cutivs OF the city. And the oath Of
Office should guarantee equal
rights and equal treatment 10 all.
regardless OF race, color or creed.

SCOUTS COMPETE
WITH DECORATIONS
Florida Boys Bring Much
Native 0rnamentation
for Tents.

The Dade County Council Troop
from Miami, Fla, is making a strong
bid for the unoficial honor of having
the best decorated camp at the jam
boree. There is strong rivalry be-
tween the different sections of JAM
boree City in the matter of camp
decorations. and all sorts OF flags,
bunting, plants and other materials

in lesser quantities. This list. OF
course, doesn't include the reptiles
they brought for trading and exhi-
bition.
Entrance to the troop quarters is
gained through hut thatched with
palm leaves, intended to be a repro
duction Of 4 Seminole Indian home,
and decorated with coral fern from
the bottom Of the semi-tropical sea
near Florida. On either side Of the
entrance are Seminole Indian totem
poles, gayly painted with vivid colors
The fence itself is not the usual rope

sections, but is made Of interlacing
strips of green bamboo.
Once inside the section through the
hut, the troop quarters are exception

How does John First Glass spend his
day at the jamboree? He's up be-

ture of the air, decides to take q
shower. He has As minutes before

shoes and wrapping a towel around
him, he heads for the wooden struc-
ture inclosing the shower, not far
distant. He stands around for sew
eral moments, pitying the Scouts al
ready in the cold water, and getting
up the necessary courage. He finally
takes the plunge, and letting out a
few yells. starts to soap. However,
just at that moment, the water is
turned of "to let the pipes drain"
and he is left standing, soap all over
him. Within 3 minutes it's back
on again; he is finished in another 10.
He gets back to camp and is dressed
as "soupy' is sounded. He's the first
one to the table and attacks the oat-
meal, bacon and scrambled eggs that
are placed before him at five-minute
intervals with Zest. He, OF course,

doesn't go directly to the Monument,
though. First he goes over to the
