and he promised me that way
would be opened for the older men
OF our community, in the line OF
work. So on Thursday, we saw sew
eral OF them engaged in cleaning
the streets on the West Side. Those
same streets haven't been cleaned
but once since last Summer-and
how they did need cleaning.
The Mayor also told me that In
the near future he would be able
to place some older men in fac
tories, but that they must have
their birth certificates. SO. II you

older relatives or friends living in
this community. see that they get
their birth certificates and have
them get in touch with the Mayor,
himself. any time after Monday,
Oct. S. at his Office. The best time
to contact him is 10 am. and IL
noon.

better still. IL 1t were a new en-
gineer, instead OF a new Street
commissioner.
