Mr.. Prentice Frazier, well known
business man of the northwest is
waging a fight to obtain a license
for his skating rink at 1041s 23rd
Ave. North. On Monday, March 81
at 10 o'clock, in the Council Cham
bers in the County-City building
there will be a public hearing on
this matter.
All organizations and individuals
who are interested in seeing the
skating rink in the Madison street
district are urged to be present to
lend impetus to the hearing. The
opening of this rink will afford
employment for some members of
the race and will provide clean
recreation for the entire district.
The district is zoned for business
but some of the neighbors, (they
are not colored) have complained
that the noise will be a nuisance.
Mr.. Frazier and his friends voice
the opinion that the rink will not
be noisy but will serve to prevent
the spread of juvenile delinquency
because it will furnish the proper
type of amusement for both young
and old
All organizations and individu-
ais are urged to be present or send
a letter to the License Dept. of the
City Council asking that they
grant this permit.

Paper Asks Support of Friends

Realizing that their paper must have the
support of merchants and distributors, many
citizens and organized groups have endorsed
the Northwest Enterprise, and pledged to
patronize its advertisers.
Your paper prints news that is essential
to the Negro race. News Of the commend
able attainments of the race that the daily
payers will not print. Your paper affords
you the opportunity to publicly express your
self, is the champion of Negro rights, and
will take the initiative whenever there is a
violation of anyone's civil liberties. Your
paper is your weapon to fight for right and
against evil. Without the paper the com
munity would suffer.
In order that we may continue to bring
you clean, newsy, and unbiased weekly
publication we ask your support. Ascertain
from the merchants you deal with why they
do not advertise in your paper. Stress
the fact that few if any Negroes are en-
ployed by merchants, and when they help
to sustain your paper, they at least display

some practice of reciprocity
In all of my daily purchases 1 will make
sure the merchant and the merchandise with
whom L trade, besides meeting fair cOmpeti-
ton, maintains policy of fairness towards
my people"
The foregoing is the creed of the Lewis
plan of correct buying, as adopted by the
Grand Lodge of Elks in Cleveland last Aug
ust. We ask your cooperation with this plan.
We pledge you our cooperation with the pa
per.
Upon the suggestion of one of our friends
we are asking individuals and organizations
to write us letter and tell us that they will
support the paper. Don't fail to ask your
merchant, large or small, "Why don't you
advertise in our paper?" The Enterprise is
your paper, we only print it.
We want large showing of our friends
and well-wishers SO we sincerely ask you to
be sure and drop us line or fill out the fol-
lowing blank.

P. J. Leverone, principal Of the
Columbia Technical Institute, an
nounces that the Columbia School
of Drafting, founded in 1910 by
the late Roy C. Claflin and now
part Of the Columbia Technical
Institute, expects the largest en-
rollment in its 29-year history.
Only two courses were offered
by the school in its early years,
but many graduates are now
listed among Washington's most
prominent engineers, builders, and
craftsmen in Government service
and with private firms. The
school now offers complete courses
in mechanical, aircraft, archi-
tectural, electrical, machine, land
scape, patent office, topographic,
special lettering, sheet metal pat
tern, and statistical drafting.
Registrations are being accepted
for all the drafting courses for
both day and evening attendance.
A school rule provides that all in
structors must be actively en-
gagged in the subject they are
teaching.
Since the drafting courses are
taught by individual instruction,
classes may be started at any time
although the majority of new stu
dents begin their studies in Sep
tember so that they may have
their courses completed by the
following June graduation.

STRAYER GRADS
REPORT GAINS
FROM COURSE
Promotions Come Soon
After Graduation

A survey made of Strayer Col
iege Of Accountancy graduates, not
including the estimated 40 certi-
fled public accountants, reveals
that they earn an average annual
salary of $1893, and that promo
tions are given following gradu-
alton in the vast majority Of cases.
The average annual wage was
believed by school officials to be
the absolute minimum since only
one C.P.A. listed his salary. AS q
rule C.P.A.'s earn considerably
more than others in the account
ancy field and their salary list
ings would increase the general
average.
MANY JUST STARTING
Then again, a majority Of the
duestionnaires returned were from
recent graduates, many of whom
are Just starting their careers. The
average age of those questioned
was in the late 20'S. Only two OF
the graduates reported they were
unemployed. Few Of the graduates,
the QUESTIONABLE revealed. con-
tinued their education after finish
ing here, though many had at
tended other institutions previous
20 enrolling at Strayer.
Many earned part or all their
expenses while attending day
school. according to answers in the
QUESTIONABLE. Practically all the
evening school students work their
way through.
George H. Seward, 81, assistant
secretary to Senator Key Pittman,
of Nevada, wrote on the back OF
his QUESTIONABLE:
Senator Pittman has employed
from time to time four Strayer
graduates on his regular staff and
has called for the services of a
number of typists for special work.
There are at the present three
Strayer graduates in his office"
