Wilby Closes Fast
 To Trim Naugatuck

Naugatuck, Jan. 23.-Hopes for championship Naugatuck high bas- ketball team have lessened consid- erably after the decisive and unex- pected 36-27 defeat handed the Foleymen Saturday night by the Wilby high five of Waterbury at the local "Y." The visitors impressed with e third period rally which caught and overcame first half lead of the Naugatuck team. and tucked the game away nicely with a fine display of shooting and de- fense work in the last period.
 The work of Wilby in the last quarter was the more remarkable in view of the fact that all of the players had three personal tculs on them and one more would have meant Schnere's removal from the tilt. Yet Wilby tailed II points in this final period to five for Nau- gatuck.
 Naugy 8 Up
 The first period was close but Naugatuck held an 8-5 lead at the end and when the Garnet increased this to 1912 at half time, It looked as though the unbeaten string of the Foleymen would continue.
 Wilby seemed a new team in the second half. Full of pep and using a zone defense which Naugatuck found hard to penetrate, the Leemen found the basket and started the spurt which lasted until the final whistle found the Naugatuck team soundly beaten Joe Kelosky led Wilby with four field goals and five foul goals and Mcfarland gave fine assistance. Loman was high scorer for Naugatuck with eight points.

 John Kudgma, ace pinster of the Columbia team, came through with a nice 367 for three games to lead his team to victory by taking three points from the Colgate pinsters.
 Val Caron, the new recruit of the Army, for some reason or othSr was registered amongst the 102 class, but to the mind of several of the other bowlers of the league, he rates amongst the top notchers. We would not so so far as to say that Val was . ringer" but his addition to the Army leaves little or no doubt as to the outcome of the chances of the other nine teams in the league.
 Harry Hoileran may have got off to bad start at the beginning of the season but he certainly has hit his stride the last few weeks, ending up Monday night with a 342, Noth- Ing to be sneezed at, Harry old boy!

FEDERAL HOUSING

Perhaps it is because colored citizens
are always shunted off into the worst
habltations in Boston as well as every
where else in the United States that
we hear few complaints from the col
ored tenants who are ordered from the
Lenox St., Roxbu1y area. The SUM
clearance movement brings hope that
something is being done toward better
housing conditions for the victims of
color prejudice. Some may sense the
idea vaguely, others are sure that the
Federal Housing means that colored
tenants at last will be able to enjoy
some Of the blessings of modern sani-
tary homes The fomenters of OPPOSE
ton to Federal slum-clearance will find
no supporters among the jewellers in
the fire-traps and rat-traps, the disease
and crime breeding shells, of the Lenox
st. area
Moreover, it seems too early vet to
offer adverse criticism against action
which is generally conceded to have
been conceived with good intentions.
Federal housing is new, it hasn't had
time to provide enough data on which
to base reasoned judgment Popular,
Off-hand criticism is that low-income
families driven out of Stun areas will
be unable to occupy the new quarters
because of high rentals. The criticism
IS so easy to make that one wonders at
the naivete which allows such critics to
imagine the housing authorities are I'M
aware of and Indifferent to the needs of
low-incOme groups. Isn't it quite posi-
BILE to provide also for families of even
less than the average low income?

CHARLES STREET CHURCH

Tomorrow the members of the
Charles Street A.ME. Church congre-
cation will meet for the last time in the
historic edifice at the corner of Charles
and Mt. Vernon Streets in the West
End. The services will be a formal
farewell to church home which has
been the property of the First African
Methodist Episcopal Society since 1876
1t was built in 1907, is the sixth oldest
church building in Boston and will be
preserved as an historic landmark.
The leave-taking sewers the last tie
that directly binds the Hubs colored
population to the old West End. All
other colored churches of that district
retired years ago to the South End and
Roxbury in the wake of the population
shift. The removal of Charles Street
Church simply conforms to the rule
that church should be easily accessi-
BILE to the people.

Tom Lucas
Genial Proprietor

oldest thing about Tom Lucas-he
never tells any of his friends when he
gets sick, as occasionally happens to
most of US if we live long enough;
and instead of complaining, Tom slips
away to a hospital or a secluded rest
lng-place, gets well, as he always does.
and returns to his duties at EsteIle's
as quietly as he left. Nobody volun-
teers the information that atom is
off, SICK" and because of his early
hours his numerous friends find out
nothing about his illness until he re-
covers and is back again on the lob.
Then the report gets circulated: "TOm
Lucas is back, been sick" And when
one scolds him about not apprising his
friends of his sick spell, he Just passes
off the occurrence lightly with a grin
that's Tom.
One of the most genial of men. it is
his agreeable temperament as we'll as
his culinary skill which has served to
make him the owner and proprietor
OF the largest cafe of its kind in the
world. For Estelle's is without a peer.
1t occupies nearly whole block. en-
ploys more than 100 and caters to
thousands of white and colored custo-
mers who come from all over New
England and other parts of the coun-
try to enjoy the appetizing southern
fried chicken for which Estelle's is
famous.
Toms hours are both early and late
He takes an afternoon nap and is apt
to be again on duty in the early even
ing, when he is 'all over the place"
seeing that everything is moving with
the smooth efficient service which the
cafe has perfected. But if there hap
pens to be shortage of help in the
kitchen, Tom Lucas dons a chefs uni
form and then one sees action as is
action as Tom turns out the orders
speedily but without the noise and
hustle of the show-off cook. Every
body knows about the hot-tempered
exhibitionist chef who has every
waiter and waitress afraid to come
near him.
Tom is just the opposite-efficient,
careful, speedy but orderly and smooth
working. In the kitchen, dining room
or office off duty or on, Tom Lucas is
the same genial, pleasant-to-m per-
sonality.

SLUM CLEARANCE

Next Wednesday night at a public
mass meeting to be held in Columbus
Ave. Zion Church on the question of
getting an extension of the govern
ments present housing program, there
Is a splendid possibility of launching
real action to remove some of the dis
graceful, msanitary fretraps in which
colored people are forced to live in the
clty's two most Overcrowded areas.
There have been similar meetings in
the past, but none has been held at a
more pressing time-a time when the
enemies of the people are more deter
mined to block all efforts to alleviate
human suffering with government ac-
ton.
1t is to be hoped that out of this
meeting may come several needed
things: a demonstration to our legisla-
tive representatives in city, state and
federal posts, for instance, that we will
no longer tolerate their blind obeisance
to the rent-gougers who fatten off
slums; a positive program of Organiza-
ton for slum-section jewellers; and,
most important, a real awakening of
our people to the increased crime, di-
sease and death that lurk in all Stun
sections. The women who are arrang-
ing this meeting can be highly com
mended if their gathering accomplishes
any of these important objectives.

MY VISIT TO CHELSEA

At recent visit to Chelsea | met
and cOnversed with many Guardian
readers among whom was Rev. R. T
Reed, a former associate and admirer
OF the late Editor W. NJ. Trotter. |
found that Chelsea, through its Adult
Educational Glasses under the able
direction of Rev. L. NJ. Fuller, has SET
a pace for other cities and towns to
follow. Its program answers the need
for community enterprises to keep and
hold the interest of its residents.
1t seems that a few years ago the
Adult Educational Glasses were start
ed in Chelsea and have grown to be
a community achievement. From
various parts of the state, people in
terested in problems at home and
abroad meet and discuss the various
phases of each. 1t was interesting TO
note that men and particularly women
who had to look elsewhere to pass an
afternoon or evening, are gainfulIv
employing that free time in increasing
their knowledge and interchanging
ideas to their mutual benefit.
Chelsea residents have a great deal
to feel proud of in having started and
accomplishing this worthwhile pro-
gram. While there I met Mrs. Mill
ken, Mrs. Tate. Mr. and Mrs. Dennis,
Rev. and Mrs. Reed, Mrs. Jordan
from Boston, Mr.. Washington and
several others.
Make plans to visit real soon, one
OF the classes held every Monday and
Tuesday at 6 Summer Street, at 3 and
1880 pm. A full schedule may be
found at all times under the Chelsea
