ed the hand of friendship as of
fered by John L. Lewis of the C.
l. o. is also true; but the writer
believes that the political signifi-
canoe of this gesture has been
over-emphasized. Negro labor is
just as eager to organize and to
better it's standards as is white
labor; and whoever comes forth
with gifts of friendship and assist
ance is going to be welcomed with
open arms.
The endeavor to publicize the
"Redness" of the congress smacks
pretty much of the old herring
gag. Somebody wants to discredit
this attempt of the Negro to unity
his forces on the constitutional
front with the cry of "Reds!" But
it isn't going to be that easy, Mar
tin Dies or no Martin Dies. Upon
one thing, every Negro American
is agreed-the 18th, 18th and 18th
Amendments to the Constitution
are going to mean just what they
say, or somebody will be required
to answer why, and the answer had
better be good, too.

1910 to reward friends and fight

The convention also wildly
brought to light the fact that the
Negro vote is swinging far out
into an independent status. The

was fixation in any certain party
is gone forever. Any party or can

groups are springing up all over

fective forces in their localities.
Now about this charge of Com

The writer is inclined to believe
that the smoke is all out of proper

is liberal, no one will deny. This
column will even go so far as to
say that it is extremely liberal.
But the charge that it is the tool
of the Communist party is not sub

Native workmen in Bombay, In
dia, insist on a bonus on the birth
of son to their employer.
The Sauk Centre herald., 1940-02-22


Central Conference have pretty
well faded into their slots and are
resting comfortably. For all but
two games, postponed cards, for
Sauk Centre, the race is over.
Montevideo, no matter what hap
pens to her at Sauk Centre, is pret-
ty secure in top bracket. Sauk
Centre with Morris yet to meet
should break even on those two
and come out where she's been all
season, in the middle of the road.
H. Morris, Benson and Litchfield
continue to bring up the basement.
Right here and now we want
to throw up our hats and yell
yippee for Glenwood. There's
a game bunch of boys. Once
in second place, things ganged
up on them the week they
played Sauk Centre and they
slipped to fourth place. Last
week they wound up tied, in a
three way fight for second.
But now they've got that sec
Ond place ticket all wrapped
up, and they did 1t the hard
way. Willmar, next in line
can't touch her. Nor can Sauk
Centre with two more games
to play. SaTk Centre could win
both her games and then be a
fraction of percent behind
this GlenwOOd crew. And I
guess GlenwoOd deserves that
spot. You remember the start
ling comeback they pulled here
lead by Red Mathre. Well
you haven't heard about any
thing yet.
The other night they played Ben
son. Benson was primed, and Glen
wood got off slowly. In fact they
were barely moving if a % to 10
decision at halftime means that
Glenwood was in the ball game at
all. But they romped out in
that second half, held Benson to 7
points, and stormed their way to
80 to 20 victory. Know now
why say Glenwood is coming?
They're coming like the midnight
express.
You'll find the Conference
standings this week just about
complete. OF course, with the
exception Of the two Sauk Gen.
tire games. Next week weM
give you any corrections and
additions that will be available.
:. Here's a point. In Confer
ence play s. G. has averaged
over 80 points a game, to break
even. :. Which shows, I mean,
that 80 points in high school
competition isn't too much, is
It?

chances to score from the unham-
pered position.
In the third quarter held to three
points, Sauk Centre saw themselves
fading behind. Kruger, Popek,
Gumlia, and Drazenovich scored in
quick order to run the game to a
% to 16 lead.
Superior height Of a grinning,
young giant, named Popek, was
the deciding factor in this ball
game. Conkey, though he took 10
points under this boys nose, was
unable to cope with the height.
Under the basket covering the
longs of his teammates, Popek
scored enough to get nine goals
from the field. He cracked thru
for 10 points, nearly half Of the
CT total. These Crosby boys were
real competitors. They played with
out a crab, they moved about with
their accurate timing and passing
grinned and laughed as the ball
game got hotter.
In the final stanza while Popek
was making place for his name
on the score sheet, Sauk Centre got
back into the running. They rang
up IL points in the canto with
Conkey, Larson doing must Of the
scoring, with some help from Har-
ris. Dean Elver, i'll for several
weeks, got only small amount OF
service in this game to timber him
up and keep him from firing.
In the Melrose game it was Con-
key again, with 21 points, who lead
the advance in scoring. He was
helped by Deziel, Larson, Kringen
and Harris. For Melrose, oddly
enough, pair Of guards who got
their school background work in
Sauk Centre were the scoring
plugs. Between Walt Scanlon and
Royal Arvig they took II of the
Melrose II points.

the high mortality birth rate in
the country. Lorentz is having a
very much deserved vacation aft

the picture the powerful story
it is.
The picture is an adaptation
from book written by DIR. Paul

the book. which has also been
well emphasized in the picture
is the island of safety. Major
ity of deaths in birth has been
caused By very bad Slum condi-

The picture carries graphic
message of preserving the island
of safety around the pregnant
mother that there be no infec-

shown to medical authorities
throughout the country and all

Mr.. Lorentz was very happy to
read of Ned Bruce's idea to make
Key West a writer's and artists
