JOINS WAVES

Esthella Mae Blaschko is another
Ell Centro girl to- join the service,
having been accepted in the Waves.
Miss Blaschko will take her pre-
liminary training at Hunter college,
New York.
A graduate of Central high
school and junior college, Miss
Blaschko, upon completion of her
schooling has done secretarial work
in FL Centro, San Diego and Manti,
Utah.
BUSY WEEKEND
The Ell Centro servicemen's cam
teen had one of the busiest week.
ends in its history, large numbers
of visiting men patronizing the
recreation rooms and enjoying the
counter service.
BY actual check 2,080 men were
served at the canteen on Saturday
and 2100 on Sunday which meant
hundreds of gallons of lemonade
were made by various hostesseS and
hundreds of dishes washed, to say
nothing of the many, many parcels
checked that day.
Trying out a new idea, q COM
mittee of workers spent all Satur-
day morning making sandwiches
from food contributed by various
Ell Centrans. This new idea proved
boon to the hostesses behind the
counter who had all they could do
serving, and making lemonade
without bothering with sandwiches
Gifts come to the canteen from
various sources, proving the gener-
Gus interest that the valley has in
the men. From produce firms and
individual growers, melons, toma-
toes and carrots have been sent in
and have proven more than popu-
lar. Somewhat to the surprise of
the hoSteSseS, tomatoes, whole, in
bowls of cracked ice and carrots,
cut up in strips and put in ice are
2s popular as the ice cold melons
and are consumed by the hundreds.
Sandwiches and materials for
sandwiches are welcomed and here
the Adobe Cocktail Lounge has
been more than generous, sending
every weekend huge boxes of tempt
ing sandwiches to the canteen for
the men.
AS for the faithful cookie makers,
their homemade cookies which they
have been SO generous in sending
down at regular intervals, have
been the mainstay of the canteen
since the days of its organization
Supplies of sugar and shortening
are still available for their use if
they will ask the hosteses for them.
Mrs j. w. Donohue must hold
sCme sort of record after this
weekend in sewing on chevrons,
buttons, mending, answering ques-
ticns and checking packages for
the group.
Mis-. F.. Fabares. Mrs. I. Thomas,
Mrs. R. E. Daniel are the busy
Wcmen who made sandwiches all
Saturday morning.

Carl Burdick's Boat Won First Star Boat Regatta

Carl Burdick's sleek greyhound of Fishers Island Sound, Quick silver, won by half boat length over Ernie Howell's Paralax, in the first Star Boat regatta of the sea- son over the triangular Groton Long Point-Latimer's Reef-Noank course, On the 4th.
 Tn third place was Paul Woods Marie, in the fourth slot was Eld- ridge GilliS' Rigamorale and in fifth, was Ernie Posts Vector II.
 Five boats entered the race and so close were the first four boats that every wisp of breeze added more pep and ginger to the closely contested race.
 Seven were scheduled to have raced but due to some of the boys working at the Victory Yard on that Sunday, among whom were Bill RothIbun and Howard Chap man, they couldn't enter their boats.
 Those that finished one, two, three and four, are employees of the zee bee. Burdick, is in the main yard tin shop, Howell, main yard electrician, Wood, shipyard office and Gillis, main yard chip per, all first shift.
 Another Star Boat battle is brew ing off the coast of Noank soon, so, sit tight, mates.

.Diesels Sink
 .DOlphins, AZ

The bat of Joe Murphy beat a staccato chatter against the Coast Guard Dolphins, as he scored two runs and accounted for another and lead the Diesels to a AZ win over the. Coast Guarders at Mer- cer Field.
 This was the second straight time that the DieselS have bounced on the healthy offerings of Pat Fiske and come out on the long end, they having done the trick last month.

 Maybe the Meriden team will be able to match power for power and do away with the Smith, Me- Kenna, Osinski threat or the spec ter of Pavlok. It is hard to be- lieve that anyone can do this once the Diesels start to powder the pill New London hasn't real ly seen the Boatmen scorch that pill since last May. They feel that the dikes of mercy should be closed and a top-heavy score rolled up to let the other part of the state know there is an Eastern Connecticut.
The sub., 1943-07-15

Getting by the Meriden Club will be one of those really hard things Co do because the visitors boast of having one of the strongest teams in New England. To back this statement up, they point to the fact that they tripped up the Phil adeIphia Phillies when the Broth erly Lovers were really hot about a month back.
 Another thing they point to is the fact that they tied the Ellis Island Coast Guard team, club that kalsomined the Diesels, and on top of all this they claim with their addition of the former Bean Town Daughters, they have big league strategy. They claim that Al Gurske, their star twirler, is the number one hurler of the state.
 All the above claims and re- marks are all well and good, but the fact remains the Diesels are still the state baseball champs and despite the fact that Meriden may claim the title, they haven't met the champs, as yet, and this de- partment always has said that 1t is always best to string along with the champion until he is beaten.
 In the case of this Sundays game, one shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the Diesels have one

housing. The N.A-A.C.P. therefore participated in
the campaign on the basis of an issue which is very
fundamental in our democracy.
The only practical way to champion the rights
Of Negroes in political campaign is to ask for the
defeat of the candidates who deny those rights This
is exactly what the NAACP did and that is exactly
what everyone including the Reverend White, agreed
they should do In short the N.A.A.C.P. was hewing
to the line and it did an excellent job stating its
to the general public.
Toward the end of the campaign the Mayors
political opponent, Frank Fitzgerald, revealed that
he was not altogether clear on the issues involved
and he criticized the democratic views of Horace
White. Immediately the N.A.A.C.P., with the issues
ever in mind, sought to point out to Mr.. Fitzgerald
his mistake In short the N.AA.C.P. had clear and
consistent political point of view based squarely
on the issues and was not led astray by blind allie
glance to any candidate. 1t is unfair therefore to
charge that the N.AA.C.P. "cut their own Threats
with political emotionalism." Indeed, in light of
the facts one wonders if our good friend and COL
umnist has not pronounced judgment upon himself
rather than upon the N.AA.C.P.

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY

We hear so much nowadays about
this problem. Each specialist lists
his reasons. Most authorities now
agree that the basic causes OF juve-
nile delinquency can be found In
unsatisfactory h m e conditions
when divorce. poverty, Ignorant
parents and similar factors marshal
against the children getting a Arm
start in life. Another basic cause is
the failure OF parents TO exact self
discipline in their children and to
Undue them with sense OF moral
values. Aggravating these basic
causes are: lack OF proper super
vision, lack OF recrestional facili-
ties war, reduction in funds and
personnel for children's preventive
and protective services and lack OF
community organization and CO.
operation.
Our children have been neglected
and now we are reaping the whirl-
winds. Children our makers OF the
world OF tomorrow. are the MOST
precious possessions OF home ano

HORACE WHITE AND THE N.A.A.C.P.

Our genial columnist, Horace White, who has the
happy or unhappy (take your choice) faculty of
falling in and out of grace with large numbers of
people with regularity chose to take few potshots
at the NA.A.C.P. participation in the recent polit
cal campaign in his column "The Facts In Our News"
last week. Summing up his arguments Mr.. White
stated 1.-THE above is far from saying that the
N.AAC.P. is not concerned with candidates. 1t has
to be. What hope is said here is that the issues
are always important than any given Individual
We, as Negroes cannot afford to permit our goals
TO get lost and snarled in the countenance of any
particular office-seeker"
The simple truth is that in an election campaign
candidates always seek to get elected by champonng
certain issues and in the past campaign of the
issues which our Mayor chose to champion in order
to get reelected involved the denial of the rights
Of Negroes to obtain housing as free American cti-
zens without discrimination because of color. Fur
ther the Mayor criticized the NA.A.C.P. for its
efforts in seeking to remove the color bar fr m
