Blue Lake Crescent. curving
about the base of Mount Sugar
Loaf, catches and intensifies the
blue of the sky. Along her southern
shore the Olympic Loop highway
winds through the lofty evergreens
of Olympic National Park, in which
the lake is located.
The highway and the forest road
along the northern side of the lake
give ready access to numerous re-
sorts and camps from which inter-
esting trips by boat and launch
can be made to spots where

this land-locked salmon took I'D its
abode in the fresh waters of Lake
Crescent, science has been unable
to determine.
Mount Storm King, which
encroaches upon the lake from
south, rises abruptly to a mile
high pinnacle of rock. From
the summit of this imposing
peak a breath taking piano.

rounding country greets the
eye, and In the distance the
Strait of Juan de Fuca
stretches away to Vancouver
Island. The summit Is reached
by well kept bride path.
Near Lake Crescent is her baby
sister, pretty little Lake Suther-
land; and in the mountains but a
few miles drive are two fine hot
springs resorts where great out
door pools are filled with sparkling
health giving mineral water, fed
by steaming springs. All these at
fractions combine to form a vaca-
ton area of unusual interest.
Although well away from the
crowded centers of population,
many of the beauty spots and rest

reached in short time from Taco

With completion of the Loup
River public power districts sub
station on South Thirty7sixth St,
IL miles south of the Omaha
city limits, and tests of the
equipment made last week, power
from the Loup River hydro plant
at Columbus was turned into Ne
braska Power company's Omaha
system Tuesday afternoon.
Present for the switching on of
the power at the new substation
were officials of the public district
and Nebraska Power company.
The Contract between the Ne
braska Power company and Loup
River public power district calls
for delivery by the district of
5000 kilowattsI of power after
July /. During a brief period,
however, only a small amount of
power will come into Omaha from
the Loup River plants. This will
be increased as the operations
between the two systems are CO.
ordinated.
By the terms of the mutual
purchase agreement, Nebraska
Power company will take addi-
tional power from the district as
the needs of its customers in
crease and as such power can be
supplied by the district.
In addition, the Nebraska Pow
er company's steam plant in
Omaha is made available to the
public power district during Off
peak hours to protect its system
against water shortage or other
failures.

year old high school girl and her

Since Dolly was a small child she
has liked the various weird tones
of soft sweet swing music, but
never had an opportunity to at
tend a music school because of
the limited income of her mother.
After Dolly finishing her daily
chores, she would take a seat at
her fourth floor window and
watch the traffic go up and down
the great South Parkway, day

when her dreams would come
true. At night, she would lie
asleep and dream of a song, even

upon awakening she would write
the music down on the nearest

STUDENTS JOIN DRIVE ON
JIM CROW. BASEBALL

New York. April % tCNA) =
students of Dewitt Clinton High
School, The Bronx. this city, took
the lead this week in picking up
the rapidly growing campaign to
end jim-crowism in organized
baseball.
During the same week Friday
a new weekly picture magazine,
took up the fight for recognition
of Negro baseball stars in a
smashing article entitled Base
ball Needs Them" The article
quotes big league managers and
players who have testified that
many Negro stars belong in the
majors. and cites figures show
ing the amazing success of Negro
stars in post season exhibitions
against the big leagues best.
THE addition of the battery of
Satchell Paige and Josh Gibson to
any of the first division Americ-
an League clubs would make the
Yankees the best second team in
the history of the game" the ar
ticle says.
Petitions circulated at Dewitt
Clinton High School met with an
immediate response from the stu
dents of the worlds largest high
school. The petitions were issu-
ed jointly by the Frederick Doug
lass Club, the American Student
Union and the Shofar Society.
Petitions quote the big league
managers and players who asked
for an end to Jim Crow last sum-
mer and say:
I'm the name of true sports
manship in the American tradi-
ton, we, the undersigned, add u
voices in demanding an end to
Jim crowism in Major League
baseball"
Among it's immortal athletes of
all races, Clinton has had many
great Negro sports heroes. Geo
rye Gregory was captain of one
of It's greatest basketball teams
and went on to become Columbia
University's first Negro Captain.
The present crack football and
basketball team have Negro stars
of high caliber. The sensational
Negro Golden Gloves winner of
the past two years, Buddy Moore
and Ray Robinson, are both Clin-
ton boys.
The addition of the high school
petitions will add momentum to
the tremendous campaign launch
ed this year by the Trade Union
Athletic Association, with 33 To-
cal ALL and CLIO unions and a
membership of 300,0 0O. The un-
ions have set up a Committee to
End Jim Crow in baseball which
is starting a campaign for mil
lions of signatures on a national
scale. The trade union and youth
movements on the Pacific Coast
already have begun cooperation.
