time that the Guggenheim Mem

member of the Communist party.
The brilliant young writer, who
is on the staff of the Federal Wri-
tiers Project in New York, N. Y.
has a life story as interesting as
that of Joe Louis. Like Louis, he
rose from the deep South, where
he was born on a plantation near
Natchez, Mississippi. His childhood
was spent in an orphan home. He
has worked at many jobs, includ-
ing farm labor, street sweeping,
dishwashing, and as a porter.
Wright has won other literary
prises including the Story Maya

most recent novel was "Uncle

On YOU REMEMBER?

Well lovers of the turf. The race
season has come and gone. Some
Of the fans are happy and some
are sad. The main reason some are
sad Is because they tried to beat
the card That is very hard to do.
II you pick 3 winners out of 8
races you car pat yourself oil the
back because you have done good.
Some fans think they are so good
they try to TO beat even or eight
races a day. There is where you
are wrong. That old saying is
"You al beat a race but not the
races. In the state of Illinois,
starring soon there will be a lot
terry on the same order of the
Irish Sweepstake ticket will be
sold for $3.50 and the drawing
will take place once a month. The
lucky winner will receive twenty
thousand dollars. No bad. Worth
trying better than putting 2
bucks on a nag and watch him
run last. You will have to wait
30 days for the drawing. Look,
what a suspense you will be kept
in and the thrill you will get out
of hoping your ticket is the one
that fate held for you. Suppose
5 people put in SOC apiece and won
that will be four thousand dollars
apiece. Where on earth can Soc
bring that much money. Not on
a horse. | am sure all of you
likes to take a little chance once
in a while. That lottery will cer-
tainly hit the spot when the full
details are worked out in Illinois.
This paper will tell you all about
It. Ii is now up TO the Governor
of the state to sign the bill for
= to iecome a law. | predict in
a very ghort time some more
states viii try out the plan f +
works in Illinois. That is only a
new scheme to get tax money for
old age pension and other state
needs. The people are going to
gamble in some form anyway. The
states might as well be the take
off man as some politician to rob
the public. Why should the people
in the United States send millions
of dollars over in Europe every
year when people over here are
naked and starving. 1t doesn't
make sence. | am saving up my
change now so | can buy me a
ticket and if / win | am going to
change the route of North oath
st. instead of running North and
South, | am going have old Cho-
eolate avenue to run East and
West. All of you in favor of the
change, just hope l win 10000
