artisans and factory people.
On his coming to the neigh
borhood the white people of
the community organized
the Water Works Associa-
ton whose raison d. etre was
to force the Sweets to move.
There the steps to be taken
were planned.
On the night the Sweets
moved in a demonstration in
front of his home was held.
On the second night, his
home was assaulted with
stones and shots were fired
from within and without.
The inmates of the Sweet
home opened fire above the
heads of the mob, but one of
the mob was killed, and a
second wounded. The Sweets
and the nine other inmates
of the house were arrested
and indicted for murder in
the first degree. The N. A.
A. c. p. employed Clarence
Darrow, A. Garfield Hayes,
Walter f. Nelson, and three
local colored attorneys
Cecil w. Rowlette, Charles
Mahoney and Julian Perry,
to defend them.
The first trial ended in a
hung jury and the second
will shortly be held.
Weeks before the Turner
and Sweet incident, Detroit
papers insisted that Negroes
must surrender their rights
to live wherever they please
and accept segregated dis
tricts-ghettoes-or else bel
held responsible for race
riots. The police in all these
cases were VIGOROUSLY lax
in protecting the Negro
homes, and in some instanc-
es aided the mob.
The Sweet trial resulted
in many Detroiters gaining
a new viewpoint and today
many whites of that city ac-
knowledge the rights of any
racial group to live where
ever it can buy.
In spite of the increased
prejudice, Detroit gives pro-
mise of being one of the most
prosperous cities in the coun-
try for the Negro. It's bust
ness opportunities are many
and are rapidly developing.
The city as yet lacks a
crystallized Negro leader
ship, but one will, of a GER
tainty, shortly emerge.
The overflow population
of Negro Detroit is rapidly
building up other cities in.
Michigan such as Flint, Sagi-
nav, Alpena, Pontiac, and
Jackson.
In these places there are
a few outstanding figures
like Oscar Baker, prominent
lawyer and leading citizen
of Bay City, who is highly
esteemed by both races. A
number of such individuals
will steadily increase as the
Negro population grows and
the smaller cities will play
a large part in the future of
the Negro in Michigan.
The coming of the large
number of migrants not only
precipitated many problems
but set in array against one
another many of the older
Negro residents and { h e|
newcomers. On the other
hand, a number of the older
residents realize that their
strength lay in combining
with the newcomers and
Systematically assisting them
to adjust themselves to their
new environment. The older
residents who remained a
loot from We newcomers. re-
garded them as a menace to
their numbers, and found
their crudities obnoxious
as was inevitable. The small
ness Of the numbers of these
older citizens caused them
to be overwhelmed by the
great horde Of newcomers,
so that their influence les
sened until it has now be-
come almost nil in Detroit.
In looking over the names
of candidates for the Lsgis-
lature and t h e common
council among the Negroes,
it is to be noted that the
names of those who lived in
Detroit before the migration

TOWNSEND PLAN WILL
BRING PROSPERITY

The Townsend plan has three OBJ
jectives: Adequate old age pensions,
national recovery, and opportunity
for youth. 1t proposes to retire all
citizens over 60 from gainful en-
ployment in private industry and
hire them to be government spend
ing agents of an annuity given them
monthly, with the requirement that
the amount placed in their possess
sion be spent within 80 days of re-
ceipt. When they accept this an
nuity and are retired from jobs,
younger workers who are now un-
able to find any employment, will
then be able to get work. Most Of
our unemployment problem will be
solved. There will be less need for
relief and it's attendant tax burden
The enforced spending of this an
nuity will cause such a demand for
all kinds of materials and goods
from the grocery, the drug store,
the furniture store, the dry goods
merchant that manufacturers all
over the land will speed up produc-
tion and call for helpers in all fields
of activities, and these younger folk
will once more have pay check
and they, too, will spend for neces-
stiles they have long been denied.

and for this work, Paul
was promised personal security. SO
greatly was he blessed and guided
that he remained in Corinth longer
than in any other city.
V. 1. ''And I, brethren, when /
came to you, came not with excel

claring unto you the testimony of

he always had good testimony
that is what always counts.

preaching. In the beginning Paul
simply reasoned, but now he de-
clares truths without logic. He felt
the responsibility of bringing Gods
message to them and SO he was Gin

VS.. 4, 5. ''And my speech and my
was not with enticing
words of mans wisdom, but in dem
onstration of the Spirit and power;
that your faith should not stand in
the wisdom of God, but in the pow
er of God" Paul spoke with
JUNCTION through the Spirit. Chris
tian faith that will stand all tests is
confirmed by the power of God.

And merchants and manufacture
ers all down the line will be glad to
pay two percent transaction tax on
all monetary transactions to be col

ment agents. This tax is to be pro-
rated monthly to the government
spending agents (those over 60) to
be again put into circulation within
80 days. AS business increases by
the demands of this ability to buy
the revenues mount higher and
higher and in only a short time--60

money in the federal treasury to be
prorated to each spending agent
the sum of 5000 per month, which

All moneys over that needed to pay
the annuities will go to pay off our

countries and found successful.

1t is stated Snake Tower and
Shawnee Tower, the two fire towers
of the Wayne National Forest, on
high ground located near Nelson
vile, have reported between 125
and $50 fires since their completion.
Snake Tower, northwest of Nelson

built year earlier and has Observ-
er James Johnson on regular duty.
Each tower is about 100 feet high
and commands the surrounding
country
The permanent smokes (mines,
houses, railroads, etc. of the area
covered by the towers have all been
located and charted on the fire
maps. Any other smoke discovered
in the region is located by "cross-
sighting" from the two towers. To-
Gated on the fire map, and the loca
tion telephoned to the fire crew at
Camp Nelson. A new smoke is nor
mally located and reported to the
