Be On The Rolls

Once more it is to be noted that tomorrow
is the last day eligible voters may register
to participate in the special election for city
extension. Thus far registrations have Jagged.
Unless the pace is considerably quickened to-
morrow the vote on November 6, as previous
ly pointed out, will not represent fair cross
section of public opinion.
There have been so many false reports
spread by opponents of extension and such q
determined effort is being made to defeat the
proposal that only large registration Of per-
sons who recognize the necessity Of city ex.
pansion, if Wilmington is to take its place
among leading North Carolina cities, is es-
sential for success.
During the war Wilmington was at serious
disadvantage because government agencies
refused to recognize the actual size Of the
population in the Wilmington metropolitan
area which tripled in less than a year but
continued to base all allotnents Of food and
materials on the 1910 census. Even yet those
figures are accepted not only in Washington
gu. by some manufacturing firms in apportion-
ing deliveries OF goods, because they do not
know that large part of Wilmington's popu-
4aton lives just beyond the old city limits.
In all other ways, including earning living,
these suburbanites are urban residents. Only
(by bringing the more thickly populated
suburbs into the city can this grave handicap
be overcome.
Let the citizens who know the true stu
Iation turn out in force tomorrow and be reg
istered so that they may help put annexation
across at the polls.

Inviting Investment

Among business opportunities that promise
fair returns on the investment and at the
same time fill definite want is the construc-

buildings in the downtown area. It SO happens
that vacant property is available or, if it
should be deemed unsuitable, other properties
containing Improbable structures stare one in

before it arose. II Wilmington is to meet its
need for new housing this problem too can
be partially solved by efficiency apartments.
So many apartments of this type can be
included in single building OF moderate floor
space, and they are in such demand the coun.
Try over by couples and single persons, the

METROPOLIS:
STUDY OF NEGRO LIFE IN
A NORTHERN CITY. by St.
Clair Drake and Horace r.
Cayton (Harcourt, Brace; So.

A NORTHERN CITY. by st..
Clair Drake and Horace r.
Clayton (Harcourt. Brace; So.
Bronzeville, Chicago's teeming
Black Belt, is defined and de-
scribed in greatest detail by these
authors. Second largest concentra-
ton of Negroes in this country, it
is represented as typical OF other
big centers of Negro life in the
North.
According to tradition a Negro
was the first settler in the area.
The city was both station and
terminal on the pre-Civil War
Underground Railway. Two world
wars have helped to boost Bronze
ville's population above 300, 900 I'm
til every 10th Chicagoan is Ne
gro.
The Negroes enjoy considerable
political n d m, though they
may not aspire to some top Of
fees. Within their community, in
solar as it is separate from the
white city surrounding it and
that is not very far they are
free to enjoy life, liberty and the
pursuit OF happiness in the best
white tradition.
Beyond that, Negro opportunities
are very harshly restricted, these
writer's reveal. Theoretical free
doms do not coincide with actual
freedoms, and what the law al
lows isn't always what the Negro
gets. In a depression they are last
to be hired, first to be fired; a
Job ceiling bars them from most
positions above the rank OF semi
skilled worker.
Unlike white skinned, foreign
peoples, who can quickly move
from the poorest areas to better
residential districts and become
assimilated as unquestioned Amer.
leans, Negroes are restricted to
|high-rent, slum sections bordered
with a color line seemingly as eft.
