No, won't be fighting Graves but
instead he will be fighting Angel
Aviles. This boy has met some of
the top fighters in his division and
is picked to give Mr.. Riley quite
a tussle. AS for Riley, his record
probably speaks for him. He has
won SO straight fights and 26 of

Riley has appeared in Minneapolis

fold up and the University was
ready to tell their coaches the bad
news. But we must consider our
selves all fortunate as the Auditori-
UNI is doing better today than pre-
war days and all the university
coaches are doing fine.
Sports as a whole in Minneapolis
has been doing o. k. in spite of the
little talent around. The same can't
be said in st. Paul were there has
been only one boxing show in four
years and hasn't had a wrestling
show in more than year.
Now as long as this column is
being also read across the river
we might add that there is no pro-
moter who wants to take a chance
with all those Irishmen over there.
Ever since l was little boy l
was let to believe that St. Paul
was the best boxing city in the
Northwest and for many years l
believed it. But for the past half
dozen years Minneapolis hasn't
even had any competition.
Can't understand it either. There
amateur promoters also have
the pro franchise but just can't get
around to use it. Maybe the recent
$4,000 gate between Harry Jaffra
and Jackie Graves will wake some
of those so-called promoters over
there.
By now we ought to tell you
about the next boxing show at the
Auditorium, March /, it's going to
be o. k. even though it won't be a
Riley and Graves match.
The Tony Olivera VS.. Charley
Riley match should be a honey.
And very lucky indeed for pro-
moter Tony Stecher that Riley was
ready to fill Mr.. Graves shoes.
We haven't seen Olivera in action
but word has been passed around
by those in the know that Tony
Ohvera is a good fighter and has
done all right with everyone in and
around the west coast.
It doesn't matter who Riley
fights we're on his bandwagon and

Rev. w. E. Guy, presiding elder
of the St. Paul district of the North
west AME Conference, was in the
city Sunday. This was his first ap-
pearance this Conference year. l
am sure he made many new
friends.
At the last regular meeting of
the N.A.A.C.P. a panel discussion
was held on the subject "Does Du-
luth Offer Equal Opportunity to all
Races" Those taking part were
Rev. Roy Burt, pastor of Lakeside
Methodist Church; Rev. Boyd M.
Patrick, pastor of St. Marks; Mayor
Edward Hatch, of the City of Du-
luth; Attorney A. B. Clarified, Miss
C. Rudell, secretary of the Indus
trial and Business Girls of the
YWCA, and Mrs. Irene PAUL of the
CLIO.
The meeting was opened by sing
ing America" and Rev. Burt Of
fered invocation. Two songs, writ
ten by our own Professor Henry
Williams, were sung by trio con-
sisting of the Misses Veneer Bell,
Janet Winfield and Jean Mason. The
songs were the NAACP Song and
Long Life America" The trio was
accompanied by Mrs. Carl Robin
son.
Rev. Roy Burt was chosen as
spokesman for the panel. He called
on Mr.. Clarified to open the dis
cussion. Mr.. Clarified gave his time
over to his daughter, Miss Francis
Clarified, who read a paper she had
written on the Negro Today and
Tomorrow.
Miss Veneer Bell read a poem,
BLACK America" The discussion
then got under way. It proved very
interesting and enlightening.
The Jenny Lind singers under the
direction of Mrs. Ann Colby AL
bright sang. The meeting closed
with the singing of Lift Every
Voice."
Mr.. George Dozier was called to
Washington, D. c., because of the
critical illness of his mother. He
left Sunday evening.
Mrs. Wanda Brown left Sunday
afternoon for st. Paul to be with her
husband, Buzzy Brown. She ex-
poets to be gone two weeks, after
which time she will return to have
a check-up by her physician. Mrs.
Brown had just recuperated from
having a broken ankle, sustained
last November 7.
A case of loyalty on the part
of white students towards a Negro

band practice for no reason at all.

no good. l have thought of carry

before doing so l thought would
ask your advice. l am now working
but am thinking of quitting in a
few months so can be home with
the children. Do you think this
will help? Answer me as am
desperate.
Ans: Quit your job Immediately
and be a mother to these children.
Heretofore they have been de-
prived of a mothers constant care
and that is why they are straying
out of bounds. A detention home
is no place for your daughter. What
she needs is your sympathy and
understanding right now. The same
holds true for your son. They are
approaching and in the adOlescent
age a period of adjustment
and uncertainty for youngsters. 1t
is a period of growth that all young
sters have to go through with but
few parents stop to consider the
importance of understanding dur
ing this period. Take your daugh-
ter into your confidence and let her
feel free to talk to you on any sub
ject that of her boy friends,
etc. Be very considerable and
never condemn her in a way that
her feelings will be hurt. Offer her
suggestions as to right and wrong
and let her own judgment begin
taking form. Handle your son more
or less in the same manner but
don't overlook the mistakes he has
made and try to correct them. You
must never let him think you have
lost confidence in him.. Give him
little jobs to do and pay him a fair
amount. This will have a tendency
to teach him to earn the money he
wants for pleasure. You can get
your children back on the right
road if you will take the time and
have the patience to do so.
