Easter
ScrnOnette
By Rev. T.. B. Brown.

But now is Christ Risen from
the dead. Corinthians 1920.
We come again to the commemo-
ration Of another Easter season.
The Apostle Paul is one of the
miracles that the infidel can not
explain. Paul alone can explain
1t. He was unalterably convinced
and he realized that it was the
love of this living Christ that con-
strained him. He at once became
the champion of the doctrine of
resurrection. When in the pres
ence of Agrippa he made his de-
tense, it was one of the most DOW
ertul speeches ever delivered. He
declares that it was for the hope
OF the resurrection he was called
INTO question. Listen to his words
when he explains in the presence
OF this ruler. why is it judged a
thing incredible with you if God
doth not raise the dead?
The logical, learned and unim-
peachable apostle had much to say
on the subject of the resurrection.
His argument in the Corinthian let
ter is unanswerable. But now is
Christ risen from the dead. To
him the three pillars upon which
the church of God rests are the
death, the burial and the resurrec-
ton of Jesus Christ. It was by the
resurrection that Jesus was declar-
ed to be the son of God with power
according to the spirit of holiness.
Paul had seen him and had heard
him speak and could not have been
mistaken. To be saved one must
believe that God hath raised Christ
from the dead. This belief is the
Life of the Gospel

shoot UP in the spring and then
grow into real food to eat, that
makes whatever toll put into it
seem small by comparison.
Growing gardens is always a
good thing for young people to do,
but this year when there is such a
crying, wartime need for food, it
has lot of practical value. We
must have food to support our SOL
diers and to help feed the millions
of people in the countries who are
fighting with us to win the war
but who cannot grow gardens them
selves because the war is in their
countries
Concluding his statement, Mr..
Barnett said, Last year colored
farmers throughout the entire
South had banner year in plant
ing Victory GaGrdens. This year
we hope the folk in the cities and
smaller towns will join the band
and that everywhere young and
old will have fine gardens full of
healthgiving vegetables and fruit.
The possibilities of raising poultry
and livestock should also be look
end into. In these days of ration
ing, they can pay big returns"

City Youths
Urged To Grow
Victory Gardens

There are thousands of colored
boys and girls in the cities and
towns who could perform a useful
service for their country and for
their families by growing garden
this spring and summer and at the
same time fidn a fascinating adj
venture" Claude A. Barnett. spe-
cial assistant to the Secretary of
Agriculture declared last week in
a statement on Victory Garden.
Vacant lots" he continued. "are
available almost anywhere with
the exception of few of the Iarg-
er cities. Youngsters should look
into the possibilities of their back
yards or that Of their neighbors.
They can club together and work
on partnerships Not many efforts
pay bigger dividends. A few seeds.
some fertile soil and plenty of at
tention will give a really rich re-
ward
Those beginning a garden will
need to learn how, of course. There
will be someone in the family or
neighborhood who knows the ropes
and the man at the store where
vegetable seeds are on sale can be
relied on for lot of useful adj
vice. Mr.. Barnett says Your
teacher, especially your vocational
agriculture or home economics
teacher can give you all the point
ers. II requires work to grow a
successful garden but there is some
thing about the thrill which comes
from watching little green plants

Housing
Continued From First Page }

under title 2 are distinct from the
NCHA's "slum reclamation" or title
l, properties, which have been in
spected by the subcommittee on
previous tours in the last two weeks
While they house many former
slum dwellers, the "low-rent prop
critics were not constructed for the
primary purpose of slum reclama-
ton. Most of them occupy land that
formerly was vacant or sparsely
settled, rather than areas that once
were slums. Because land costs are
less when the site is not thickly
covered with dwellings, the NCHAs
~low-rent' developments generally
are larger than its "slum reclama-
ton" properties.
A further difference is that the
ioW-rent developments have been
financed through loans from the
Federal Public Housing Authority
and sale of bonds to private inves-
tors. while the slum reclamation
properties have been built with
money appropriated directly to the
NCHA by Congress.
1883 Housing Units.
John Ihlder, executive officer of
the Housing Authority, who con-
Quoted the tour, explained that the
greater part of the NCHA's work so
far has been in the construction of
loW-rent housing rather than slum
reclamation. The nine low-rent de-
velopments completed include a to-
tai OF 1888 housing units. Three
other low-rent projects, with a total
Of 737 additional units, are planned
by the authority The total cost of
NCHA low-rent developments Is
about sl5,0o0OO0.
In contrast, the NCHA has been
given only about s865,O0O by Con-
gress for slum reclamation until
title l of the Alley Dwelling Act.
The long-range slum reclamation
program Mr.. Ihlder has proposed
for the District-Which he has es-
tlmated would require appropria-
tions totaling over S10O 100000 over
20 to Is year period-would be
carried on by the NCHA under ti-
tie l.
The subcommittee purpose in
touring the loW-rent Developments
Is to gain complete picture of
housing conditions here before max
ing recommendations as to the pro-
posed slum reclamation program.
After completing their inspection of
the low-rent housing, the subcom-
mittee members will make trips to
see the sl7000,000 worth of war
housing, most of it temporary, which
the NCHA has built here to meet
the needs of Immigrant war
workers.
The Dwellings Visited.
On its tour yesterday, the sub
committe visited the James Creek
Dwellings. 278 units located between
Half, First. M and o streets S.W.:
the Carrollsburg Dwellings, 314
units between I, M. Third and Fifth

streets Sc; the Ellen Wilson Dwell
lngs, 2l7 units on I street between
Sixth and Seventh streets Sc, and
the Barry Farm Dwellings, 442 units
at Sumner and Wade roads and
Sterling avenue Sc. All but the
Ellen Wilson development are oc-
cupied by colored families.
Senators Burton and Capper both
expressed approval of the orderly
appearance of the properties. Sena-
tor Burton said at the conclusion of
the tour that all four DEVELOPMENTS
seemed to be well handled" a con-
dition which he said is vital to the
success OF low-rent housing projects.
He added that he was impressed
particularly with the Barry Farm
Dwellings, where a committee of
tenants aids the project manager in
keeping things in order.
The Senators asked numerous
questions concerning the NCHA's
relations with its tenants, and ap-
parently were satisfied with the re-
plies. William R. Simpson. legal
counsel for the housing authority,
pointed out that the NCHA has had
to evict only II families of colored
tenants from its title 2 properties
in the last fiscal year.
Mr.. 1hlder explained that tenants
OF the low-rent properties whose in
comes are sufficient all pay rents
that will make the properties self
sustaining. Where the tenants in
come is not adequate, the NCHA
permits him to pay a lower rent.
and makes up the balance from a
Government subsidy.
All Subsidized at First.
Mr.. Ihlder said that virtually all
tenants were Subsidized" when thev
began occupancy of the NCHA's low
rent dwellings. Nearly 10 per cent
have improved their economic posi-
ton since becoming tenants.
The subcommittee, which has in
spected numerous slum areas on its
previous tours, took another brief
look at slums yesterday, on a side
trip from the tour of the clean,
modern Title 2 properties. Across
the street from the Carrollsburg
Dwellings, the Senators visited a
tWo-story house, where a woman
and five children, one of them only
7 weeks old. we're crowded into four
dingy rooms. The house had been
repaired recently. but, Senator Bur
ton said, it still looked like slum.
The rooms were dark there was
rubbish in the yard, and an outdoor
toilet. The rent was S23.75 a month
almost as much as rent on a far
more livable NCHA apartment across

velopment.
Senator Burton emphasized the
belief that such slum conditions
do not give children a fair chance
to become good citizens"

What Detroit Needs
BY j. EDWARD MCCALL

Detroit the nations Fourth City. is rapidly growing
in popuaiion also Industrial economic and educational
,anccnent but is not keeping IN soeeleFlca and
political progress. Its leadership is lacking IN vigor 20
lnical vision and zeal for Inc common good.
nder Derot's present election system, countilmen
are elected by cy-wde vote Large sums Of money arc
spent to conduct these campaigns. and counclmen elect
Cd arc lkey feel obligated 10 serve the special
Interests that backed them than 10 serve the interests o
the general public The welfare of minority groups m
the city are therefore less diSregarded the
average Imam does not feel obligated o these minor
tiles
The most equitable and practical way TO remedy this
nndcmocratc e procedure would be to reesabiSn
The ward system of electng local city councmen TINS
would make each councilman personally responsible to
he voters in his ward.
The ward system which Detroit formerly had was
abolished years ago alegedy TO eliminate political
corruption and ward healing but the real motive seems
have been TO limit the political representation OF minor
itv elements in the city.
Moreover everybody knows that Detroit has witness
sd more than instance of political corruption unde
the prcScnt cityNide system Of elccting counclmen
II is fitting that the election of mayoralty candidate
Detroit should be by city wide vote MAYOR whom an
he pcope elect is dutybound to represent all the people
mparallv The trouble is. the salary which Detroit pays
It's chief executive is inadequate The salary should not be
less than $4,000 year. the Job IS big one when re-
qures executive ability and integrity of the highest type
If The people Of Detroit desire better government ana
more adcnuate political representation IN the iuufe ths
the time to begin thinking and planning III TINS drec
ton.
On oct g. we go to the polls TO nominate two mayor
altv candidates and S candidates for the councilmanc
race Next week the Tribune will have something to say
about the candidates deem deserving of our support
Al this time however still in the dark as to the
