EXPLANATION IS
 ASKED OF REINER
Police Board Invites Him To Tell What He
 Knows

Upon the motion of Police Comsr. Martin F. Sullivan, Alderman Jo- seph Reiner was invited to appear at the next meeting of the police board to explain his statement about "supernumeraries giving or- ders to veteran police of1cers", at last nights meeting of the board.
 The accusation of the Republican leader of the aldermanic board was made at Monday nights meeting of the body. The motion proposed by Comsr. Sullivan, also a member of the board of aldermen, was adopted unanimously.
 In some quarters it was assumed that the refernce was to James Little, clerk of the traffic accident bureau. Little is a supernumerary, and in that capacity may some times give orders to regular patrol men. Tn this connection, however, the impression is that these orders consist only of making reports, and do not involve matters of discipline that would impinge upon the duties of officers in charge of men.
 A communication from Atty. Ma thaniel R. Bronson complained that parking meters on the north side of West Main street, facing the Im- maculate Conception and First Con- gregational Churches, permit cars to park in such a manner as to hamper persons attending funerals in the churches. The traffic committee of the board will consider the con- plaint.
 Referred to the purchasing com- n1ittee was a report originating with Supt. Roach thta police radio equip ment is now obsolete, and should be replaced. No price was mentioned for the new apparatus.
 A letter expressing thanks for pol ice assistance during the Pyrocade, July 20, was received from the Pyro- cade Corp. of America. Corp. Coyle Post, American Legion and secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, Frank Green also expressed gratitude to the department for aid during the state Legion convention in this city.
 The application for supernumerary appointment of James E. Sears was received, and placed on file.

outboard motors, sometimes with special engines. Drivers can eXper1- ment with anything they want for fuel and when they hit upon a con- coction that acts as a super-tonic to their whittled-down jobs, they carefully guard the formulas.
 Man-Sized Drivers
 Despite their small size, midget cars do not require midget drivers. One might expect them at least to be smaller than average, like jockeys in a horse race. But quite the con- trary. Usually, they are man-sized men, and would probably look more natural driving big trucks. This is because many of them are from the big-time race tracks, which is no place for lads inclined to be puny.
 It's not only speed that counts in these races, although that's im- portant enough; it's also skill in jug gling time against a split fraction of an inch, in balancing friction against centrifugal force, in know ing with certainty just when to "give it the gun" and when to slow; and, too, it's in having just enough dar- ing to get you up there in competi- tion with the leaders, but not so much that you spin out and break something.
 To go to the races and watch the midgets come whining around the turns, fighting for position with their wheels only inches apart: to see car go wide and another gall lop into the gap; to hear them roar into the straightaway in a last frenzied effort to be the first under the checkered flag all this pro- duceS a thrill that sets the heart to pounding and flickers running up the spine.

White, Sec. A. B. H. NJ.
Says South Hopeful

What is commonly termed as
Oregon Mist (although it didn't
miss anyone) didn't dampen the
enthusiasm of thirty-five or more
interested white and race people
who heard George N. White in a
Round table discussion last Friday
evening at the Branch Y. Mr..
White, secretary of the American
Board of Home Missions of the
Congregational Church, is a bro
Their to Walter White, Exec. Secy
of the NAACP. Mr.. Whites sub
ject Individual Appraisal, not
Condemnation" dealt mainly with
minorities and their problems.
Some points in the discussion
pointed out that the Negro as a
minority is beginning to realize
that some of the most hopeful
signs are coming out of the South
where some of the young whites
are real crusaders. Much of the
force method is being used to Ii
berate the Negro and share crop
pers alike in the south from the
poll tax. Civil liberties and the
housing situation and what might
be done about them, what part
must the church play and where
does it fit in the picture. Forth
coming were these things that
might be done Individually and col
lectively, as minority makes a
choice. Get closer together, use a
ballot, vocational guidance, self
reliances, be self supporting, Mrs.
j. S. Wyman of First Congrega-
tional church, acting chairman,
said 1--WE want something that will
bring us closer together in human
brotherhood" Muchly inspired the
group was unanimous in it's de-
cision to keep intact and continue
other round table discussions, date
and place of the next meeting to
be announced.
