There will always be a parking
problem because a considerable
minority OF the motoring public
does not understand the impor-
lance OF proper regulation OF
parking on crowded city streets.
The best that can be hoped for is
that educational and enforcement
methods will bring the problem un-
der control.
Traffic safety engineers and
Law enforcement authorities have
presented facts and figures 10
prove that improperly parked We
hicles are a menace 10 the lives and
property of people using the streets.
Yet their efforts at correcting a
difficult situation are continually
frustrated BY selfish drivers who
place their own needs above those
OF their fellow citizens Such driv-
ers contribute their bad example
10 other motorists by willful lack
Of respect for the parking regula-
tions enacted by their elected rep
resentatives.

Motorists must understand that
there is some reason for every
parking regulation and that II IS
their duty as good citizens 10 obey
them even though they consider
them unnecessary or just plain sill
ly. The lesson OF traffic safety be-
gins and ends with respect for the
law.

Il hate politics" Caroline said IN
disgust.
After Caroline and Philip had
left the ballroom for the garden
Bruce went hurriedly into his IL
brary. a long, high ceiling room
across the hall He was followed
there later by Barbara She closed
the door behind her drowning out
the music. The party was a sue
cess n the laughter and sparkling
conversation was a criterion.
Bruce smiled az his sister as
she entered. He was standing near
the window that faced out into the
garden.
Anything wrong. Bruce?' Bar
bara touched his arm.
"Of course not" Bruce drew her
close 10 him.
There was strong affection be-
tween Bruce and his sister, his
baby as he often called her. For
Barbara was only six years older
than his daughter. Caroline.
"Why are you here. Babs," he
smiled tenderly down on her love-
~ hair. Your guests will feel
sighted. Caroline in the garden
and you shut off in the library"
Barbara ignored his attempt AT
-levity.
Bruce she said. something Is
troubling you and it's not just poll

about Caroline and Philip"
Nothing like that. Babs. Guess

ed her away gently. "Now run

But Barbara did not leave. in

straight brows brought together IN

"You know. Bruce. I've had the
queerest feeling at times that Won

Bruce looked his surprise.

She shook her head. can't saw

He laughed. but there was a
false note and Barbara looked un-
convinced as he said. Get that

Philip and me are the best OF
friends. don't know what I'd do
without him. He's my right hand

That's not a good situation
either. Bruce"
You mean"

Political Observations

BY ALFRED CASEY

WE ARE GLAD TO take notice Of
" the growing recognition OF the
necessity OF cooperation among Ne
gro leaders In politics. This IL
borne out by the unanimous feel
ing among the Democrats that At
torney Harold Bledsoe is top man
for the top position for race recog-
milton at the hands OF Governor
Van Wagner. This Is not only the
feeling among the Democrats but
also among the Negro Republicans
as well. This recognition by Har-
old Bledsoe has been earned
through long years OF service 10
his race and 10 the Democratic
party and the high esteem in
which he is held as the father OF
large family. successful lawyer
and fine citizen. Harold Bledsoe
was spearhead OF the original or
gained effort made by Negroes In
Michigan 10 sell the Democratic
party 10 the race as a means OF
winning greater justice for the
group OF the state and local gov
eminent III one party fails TO
heed the voice OF justice to our
race. said the attorney. "you
have an appeal 10 the other" At
torney Bledsoe has had the cour-
age to live up 10 his convictions as
regards his own party's conduct
10 the Negro. When Frank Murphy
was elected governor. Bledsoe con-
tended the time had come for the
state government 10 award 10 the
Negro, at last state commission
ship. when the governor offered
him a position OF less standing
than the commissionship. Bledsoe
refused the position. Governor
Murphy finally offered Mr.. Bledsoe
a commissionership. which he ac-
cepted but II was not one OF the
high salaried type. but one that re-
quired further sacrifice OF time and
EFFORT 10 serve his state. Harold
Bledsoc did very credltsble job
as Commissioner OF Prisons and
became the first Negro in Michigan
to serve in this capacity.
Now the time has come when no
doubt Governor Van Wagner will
appoint some Negro 10 the post OF
a we'll paying commission. We are
glad TO see all OF our various Negro
Democratic leaders are unanimous
in the belief that Attorney Bledsoe
has earned recognition for this
spot. This shows that political
leaders are getting over their old
prejudices and petty jealousies
and are giving support where sup
port Is due. We shall take great
pleasure in seeing Mr.. Bledsoe
come into his own for we know he
has fully deserved the highest hon
or that his party can confer upon
him.

A FEW WEEKS AGO, this column

that where one failed, another could

many leaders. They understand

CHAPTER 4

THE LARGE rambling brick man
4 sion OF Bruce Arnold was ablaze
with lights. Lights from the win
dows lowered around The green
lawn. Shining cars were parked
along the curb and in the winding
driveway. Music foated out on the
evening air. The Arnold party was
in full swing.
The Negro attendant. resplendeni
in gold braid and brass buttons
came UP briskly 10 the sleek black
roadster belonging to Philip Con-
rad as II purred TO stop in the
driveway.
Good evening. Mister Conrad,

Philip climbed from the car. ne

ed in the darkness.
Hello Tim. put nv car some
place not too far away. that's a
good chap He handed Tim his
keys and sauntered across the
yard toward the white columned
porch
A few minutes later Philip stood
in the wide hall that led down in
to the brilliantly lighted room. The
evening breeze played with the
creamy silk curtains that hung al
most 20 the floor from the high
oval shaped windows. Soft lights
and potted plants made the room
fairlyland as beautiful women in
evening gowns danced lanru,diy
with handsome men IN their ull
dress. The room was heavy with
the scent Of flowers and expensive
perfume.
As Philip stepped down into the
room a ripple Of applause grew IN
volume as the crowd spied him.
The music grew louder. philip
looked for a place 10 escape when
ono dancer called out. "Hurrah for
Conrad. Denton county's popular
prosecutor"
A tall pretty girl came forward.
Seeing the look OF dismav on
Philips face she laughed gaily.

They moved away with the music

Danube" For a big man phiIlr
danced with ease and grace.
Dancers called TO them as they
passed Men and women touched
his arm affectionately. Good for
you, Phil. great work"
Nearing an open door that led
out into the garden Philip whisper

"All right. Philip" Caroline mur-

Three pairs OF eyes followed then,
as they left the room.
Bruce's face was unreadabie.
