In Memoriuna

In memory of our dear mother,
aunt and sister, Myra McCracken
Cater, who departed this life Sep
TENDER "a, 1913:
One year has passed since that
sad day,
When one we loved was called
away;
God took her home-it was His
will;
Within our hearts she liveth still.
Sadly missed by Jeanne Carter,
Martha ia ckman and Louise
Graves, daughters; William Chan
ey, nephew, Sam and Fred Nc
Cracker, brothers.

They can make a similar plan for

that by the federal projects under

desire for better conditions stimu-

like to be busy. work in a plant
to help make America strong, and
l work on my farm because l love
to see things grow. The way 1
figure, life is like this ground-you
get out of it what you put into it."
If there is any sounder philosophy
for all Americans black and white
l would like to know what it is.
Whenever anything happens in
an American city to disturb the
tranquility of race relations there
are immediate calls for committees
to study the conditions in the Negro
area, and the words survey, inves-
tigation and research are heard so
frequently that stranger, or some
visitor from foreign land, would
imagine that the social conditions
under which Negroes live were a
dark and deep mystery. AS a rule,
however, after the survey or study
has been completed the same things
are found to exist as were found
in the previous survey or the one
before that or the one before that
one.
Sometimes these surveys cost
hundreds, if not thousands of dol
lars, and in the end, usually a vol
luminous report is made. 1t receives
some publicity in the press, and
then it is promptly forgotten until
another explosion occurs and then
new committee plans a new sur
vey. And so we go round and round
in circles seeking and finding out
at considerable expense what is
known already by hundreds of in
dividuals, scores of social agencies
and half dozen city and state de-
partments.
For instance, let US take the
question of housing. Everybody |
knows that the great mass of Ne
groes in our cities are poorly |
housed. You don't have to be a
social scientist to know a shack |
when you see one and the black |
belts of every city in America are
literally covered with shacks, dilap-
idated, run down tenements or
dwelling houses occupied by poor
people unable to pay the rents for
better housing if there is any avail
able, and in far too many cases con-
tent to remain in germ infested |
dwellings, in some back alley, be-
cause they haven't the desire or will |
to get out. Often these people have |
money to spend for other things
cheap finery, expensive iquor-and |
it is not uncommon, or at least it
wasn't before the war, for many of |
them to own automobiles although |
their homes were about to fall down
on their heads.
The obvious remedy is twOfOld.
I'VE must get the Negro out of
the alleys" said an eager young So
cial worker some years ago after a
study of housing in Louisville, KY.
That is true" replied a member of
the white aristOcracy which had as
sembled to hear the report. 1--WE
must get the Negro out of the al
leys and we must go further, we
must get the alley out of the Ne
gro"
That in brief is the problem of
housing. How are we going to solve
it? There are many people who
think that the federal government
is going to solve it after the war by
building more federal housing or
that the state or municipality will
do it. These people are having a
pipe dream, and they better wake
up. There is no chance, not one
in million, that the government,
whether it be federal, state, mu-
nicipal or all three combined, will
solve the housing problems of Ne

Old AutuTnnS

Where came from we used to call
The high browed Autumn merely Fall,
Rich folk alone grow meanchoic
While we had festivals and frolics.
October brought back to the scene,
The ig-foot and the bean-whoe-bean
We gave our heed summer fed
To gatherings and cracking bread
We by zero ceilings ne'er astounded,
Foul weather never had US grounded,
We seldom went s far in hurry,
We couldn't take the horse and surrey.
We measure all our rooms today,
Demand more oil from o. p A.,
How long ago since we wage-earners,
Reveled round the old base-burners?
IT'S best for sight and far more pleasant,
To read beneath the light fuorescent,
The oil lamps now belong to yokels,
And yet we slickers wear bi-focas.
Today all have lofty hairines,
Ride the fast trains and the arlnes
But teardrops come when summers rolled,
We love autumns, but dream of old!

A waiSt-high shot that flew into

Toronto Maple Leafs @ TO 2 vic.
tory over the Detroit Red Wings In
the second game Of their best Of
seven Stanley cup hockey series and

the series at one game each.
The teams now move to Toronto

The championship Redwings held
the lead only in the first period,
when Joe Carveth soloed at 1885.
Then the Leafs came through with
q pair Of goals in the second period,
one by Reg Hamilton So seconds
after starting time and the other
by Lorre Carr at 1927.
At 12:47 Carveth again whistled
the puck past goalie Walter (Turk)
Broda to tie the score for the Red
wings and the game went into extra
sessions, with 70 minutes Of them
scoreless play.
A crowd Of l2,A47 watched the
game.
Closed the Gap
At Boston the Canadiens were
trailing 40 in the final period and
then made a valiant but unsuccess-
full effort to draw even. They scored
three times In one minute and II
seconds but Art Jackson's solo
sewed up the game for Boston.
Don Gallinger opened the scor.
ing for the Bruins in the second
period. Then rookie ABB Dcmarco
and Jackson added tallies before
the period closed. In the third
period, Herb Cain drove o short
shot past goalie Paul Bibeault after
the seventh minute, making the
score 40. The Canadiens managed

Bear Mountain, N. Y, March "a.
-(UP)-Branch Hickey, contented
beyond expectation with what he
had seen on his first visit to the
Dodgers training camp, relaxed on
big log seat before the inns huge
brick fireplace and answered rea-
sonable questions that the reporters
asked.
John Carmichael, huStling col
umnist from the Chicago Daily News,
was Sparring with bespectacled
Branch, putting the vacuum on the
Dodgers comparatively new prexy
for any predictions regarding the
Cards chances of repeating In the
National League pennant race.
Hickey, who headed the Cards
farm system only last year, plainly
got big kick out of sparring mem
tally with tall, dark-haired Car.
michael. Branch said: Naturally
I'd like TO answer your questions
one by one, but you can appreciate
my present position. However, I will
say this: I think the Cardinals
biggest single loss to the services
was Terry Moore"
Surprise
Moore was the Cards fieet-footed
centerfielder and inspiring field cap
tain. But 1t was rather surprising
to hear Hickey rate the veteran OUT
fielder above other notable Cardinal
departees such as pitcher Johnny
Beazley and strong-armed, hard
hitting Country Slaughter, the OUT
fielder.
Hickey explained that moore, in
addition to being a grand perform
er, had an invaluable morale value
to the Cardinals because he was the
last of the "old Gas House Gang"
Branch emphasized that Terry was
not a pop-oh guy like most Of the
old Gas Housers. He was a fellow
who never admitted or even imagined
defeat until the final out, Branch
said.
Rickey's eyes sparkled with the
fire Of fond memories when he said.
Moore was one of the greatest fan
and team players ever saw. Natur.
ally the fans loved him because Of
his ability and colorful plays. But
he was particularly valuable because
the players respected his ability. his
baseball knowledge and his never
say-die spirit. Terry could attempt
plays that seemed impossible. Often
he would make them. He was always
in there trying"
Praise from Ruling
In this connection, Carmichael
agreed with Hickey. The cOlumnist
said he had talked recently to Red
Running, the great pitcher who wound
up his career with the Yanks last
season. In Chicago last week on q
brief vacation from his army duties.
RufIing said that Terry Moore had
made the greatest outheld catch he
ever had seen. It came In the third
game Of the Cards-Yanks world
series at Yankee Stadium - when
Moore "anteloped" back to deep left
center and brought down Joe Di.
Maggio's tremendous drive.
Hickey said Moore had the playing
poise Of Rogers H0rnsby-a man al
ways undisturbed and undaunted.
incidentally there's q rumor around
camp that Leo Durocher was fired
as manager Of the Dodgers on the
same day he won the pennant for
them In 1871, but was rehired by
Larry MacPhail q few hours later.
