Paper Bags
Are Scarce

EEWER paper bags will be
Il available for use by local
merchants, Edwin j. Anderson,
Wayne County salvage chair
man, said today. Wood pulp
authorized for the manufacture
of grocery and variety bag
paper has been curtailed 10 per
cent below the original first
quarter authorization Of 79.432
tons. according 10 word received
by Anderson from the War Pro-
duction Board.
The need for taking home
packaged items unwrapped and
for carrying shopping bags is
approaching the critical stage"
Anderson said. 1T re-empha-
sizes the necessity of every one
cooperating TO conserve paper
and salvage what has been
used"
The reduction In wood pulp
for bag production was made
necessary because OF the loss OF
sulphate pulp production in the
south during January. owing TO
bad weather and labor short
ages, and by a decline in Cana
dian imports below earlier ex-
pcctationS, the WPB report
said. Need for meeting other
essential requirements forced
the new cut in grocery and
variety bag paper.
IF we can save what paper
is now IN eXi tencc by conSerVa-
tion OF its use, and IL we can
salvage what no longer is usable
w can 60 a long way toward
licking the paper shortage.

|. A. NEGROES UPHELD IN
EVICTION CASE; JUDGE
CALLS ATTENTION TO
The 14TH AMENDMENT

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. IL (ANP)
Academy award-winning actress
Hattie Mcdaniel and SO other
prominent Negroes won a court
fight against eviction on racial
grounds from their homes in the
once exclusive West Adams Heights
tract.
"This court is of the opinion that
1T is time members of the Negro
race are accorded, without reserva-
tions and evasions, the full rights
guaranteed them under the 18th
amendment of the federal constitu-
tion," Superior Judge Thurmond
Clark declared in tossing out eight
suits brought by the white property
owners.
The 18th amendment provides
that rights of citizens shall not be
abridged because of race, color or
previous condition Of servitude.
The district is known in the Cen
trail avenue set as Sugar HILL"
Judges have been avoiding the
real issue for too long," Clark said.
Certainly there was no discrimina-
tion against the Negro race when it
came to calling upon it's members
to die on the battlefield in defense
of this country in the war just
ended"
''That's a fine judge" Miss Nc
Daniel said after hearing the de-
cision. I'm mighty happy I've still
got my home" Blues singer Ethel
Waters was another defendant in
the suits.
The owners, who with their SYM
pathizers made a crowd of $50 in
the court, said Negroes purchased
60 of the 102 lots I'm the tract, once
the home if Los Angeles highest
society, in the belief there were no
racial restrictions.
They contended it was too late to
attempt to enforce a private pact
made in 1897 among property own
ers in the district.

representing one of the defendants,
said he thought the white property

Michigan Has
Tough Schedule

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Oct. 20
Michigan will open the second
half of one of the most difficult
schedules a Wolverine football
team has ever faced when 1t
faces Illinois at Champaign
Saturday in the 31st game of
the series between the two in
stitutions.
Following an open date which
served to allow the players to
get their second wind after sue
ceSsive games against Great
Lakes, Indiana, Michigan State,
Northwestern and Army, the
Wolverines are leaving nothing
undone in their preparations for
Coach Ray Eliot and his athletes.
Fritz Crisler has warned his
charges that the Illini are al
ways a dangerous opponent and
especially dangerous as a Home
comig foe. Crisler still remem-
bers the 1877 defeat handed to
his 1899 squad that had re-
mained unbeaten until that
game.
In first class shape again the
Wolverines should be ready to
resume operations In high gear
Saturday. The starting lineup
is likely to remain the same as
il was for Army.

The above mentioned or
ganization is planning on pre-
senting the boxing shows in
fair, honest and conscientious
manner. Only the highest grade
of boxers and well-matched
fighters will be offered to the
public and there will be no
stencil of racketeering which
generally goes along with the
boxing game.
There definitely is place iE
Toledo for such an organization
and as long as the afore men
toned principles are carried out,
there will be a large patronage
at the boxing exhibitions.
Boxing has been promoted,

Good Football
Games TONIGHT

One of the most important
football games in the state of
Ohio will be played tonight be-
tween Waite high schools In
dians and the Libbey high school
Cowboys on the Libbey field.
These two evenly matched
teams are leading the Toledo
football race, with Waite hold
ing a slight edge by virtue of
their victory over Libbey few
weeks ago. The game should be
a nip and tuck affair, with the
Cowboys desperately trying to
avenge their defeat.
If Waite wins this contest they
will have undisputed hold on
first place in the Toledo High
School Football League, and if
Libbey should defeat the East
Siders, they will be in a tie for
the title and probably for the
championship of the state, as
many sports authorities consider
that the Waite team rates top
honors.
Centrals high-scoring team,
which ran up a crushing 20
points against DeVilbiss last
week, will tackle a revamped
and determined Scott high school
football machine at Scott sta
dunn tonight in their second
meeting of the year. Central was
the winner the last time the two
teams met and will 60 all out to
repeat the performance against
the Scotters. Both teams will
be shooting for third place in
the league.
On Saturday night, the two
last place teams, DeVilbiss and
Woodward will battle it out on
the latter's field. This game will
not mean much In the outcome
Of the league standings, but il
will give one of the teams a
chance to come out of the cellar
position.
