The North End Triangles, one of the best junior teams in the city and state with travel to New Britain tonight to take on the strong Boys Club Reserves. The Triangles have a fine record to date having won IF games while losing only 3. The red and white outfit are expected to have their hands full tonight when they clash with the Hardware City outfit who have won g straight games to date. Coach Allen Ouimet stated today that his Triangle out at will shoot the works in tonight's game and expects very close game. The New Britain team is not as rangy as the Triangles but seem to possess smooth passing team and a team that can certainly throw them in from all angles of the large New Britain floor. Outstanding for New Britain are Al Nappi, good passer and clever dribbler and Dom Rio high scoring forward. Alex s'Pinhead" Jacovino and Joe Renaldi the scoring twins for the Triangle are expected to carry the heavy burden for the red and white out it. Manager Al Giacin of the Tri- angles urges all the ballplayers to meet in front of the club rooms at SIS. The Triangle Co-Eds who have been practicing some of their new cheers will accompany the team to New Britain and cheer them on to victory. Probable lineups for to- nights battle:

A FINE SPIRIT

We are informed that at the close of the recent
membership drive of the Sanitary Drivers and Help
ers Local No 663 in the Department of Public Works.
800 out of 526 men signed up for membership Inc
DPW workers are affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor and their local becomes the
largest a-coored local in Michigan. Whatever we
may think of the union, the sanitary workers are al
most unanimous in their opinion
The men in the D.P.W. have certainly recognized
one fundamental principle without which no lasting
benefits will ever come to them as group They know
that they must stand together They know that their
problems are mutual and that they can be met eff
feetipely only by a common front This little matter
of organization is unequivocally the keystone OF
every enterprise large or small, and with no eX-
ceptions. Internal conflict and confusion make a
concerted program for mutual benefit impossible
The D.P.W. is the one department of our city gov
eminent where Negroes are given some represen-
tation This department also has been the object OF
a great deal of unnecessary public abuse. Not long
ago the sanitary workers were investigated and
a host of ludicrous charges were made which occur
anv time one of our city fathers feels he needs some
publicity
Nevertheless, as long as the shifting winds of po-
Htical controversy harass the workers. so long will
the need exist for an intelligent concerted program
by which they may attain job security and promo
tons Through effective organization such program
becomes possible The successful drive of Local 663
indicates that the D.P.W. workers have taken the
first step in the only direction in which lasting bene-
fits lie.

A WORTHY CAUSE

II can be shown that in our history in America the
church and churchmen have contributed most to
Race leadership As class the ministers and church
leaders have had and still have, something of mo-
nopoly on the leadership of our group There are
those who regard the ministers the natural lead
ers of our race and there are also those who have
questioned this leadership Nevertheless, it cannot
be denied that the church is our strongest single in
stitution and that its contribution to our progress
cannot be taken lightly
The critics of the church have argued with per-
haps some truth that too many of our churchmen
are not fully qualified to fulfill their high office The
critics charge that too many ministers and church
workers eagerly assume the responsibilities of lead
ing the group when they themselves wander in
darkness. Several of our writers have deplored the
fact that many unettered and ilterate men have
mised the group because they used the church to
attain ends which were unchrstian if not unholy
Today the church is answering these critics.
Among the Baptists, which is the largest single de-
nomination of our group, there training schools
in the large cities and seminaries from which highly
trained men and women are emerging who are quail
flied to dispe all the fears of the church critics. In
our own city the Baptists have training school
which has in two years time made its mark on the
citzenry as whole and has contributed to the lead
ership of the Race. The success of this training
school among the Baptists has meant much to
the general community as it has to Baptists them
selves. Here we have the only real answer that can
be made to those who question the church an
institution of leadership
So successful has the Baptist Training School
proven it was announced that the school will be given
$4,000 for larger building facilities in order to ex-
tend its work. The gift is contingent upon the rails
ing of a thousand dollars among the citizens in
order to give proof of our appreciation Certainly
could not find worthier cause to which to con-
tribute, regardless of our particular religious af-
filiation. The Baptist Training School has great
work to do and all of us who believe in trained and
intelligent leadership should do part Nethe,
our time nor our money is wasted when we aid
cause so vital to progress. -.,
