A feature which makes the tourney
especially popular with school off.
Gals who sometimes must contend
with thin athletic budgets, is a sys-
tenn OF dividing profits among the
schools. Student tickets priced al

eighteen long years. While in the city Friday until Sunday they at tended their cousins wedding Miss Anna Lopez of 63 Day Street who became the lovely bride of Theo- dore F. DeBoise of South Front St. The ceremonies was held in the Blessed Martin Center and was officiated by Father Garrity. The reception was held in the brides home. Many relatives and friends attended.
 From all indication as we'll as rumors the Stagerettes Formal Dance Friday night was fine. For the occasion music was furnished by none other than New Ravens Big Little Band" The Merryma- kers under the leadership of Ar, thur A. Belle. I understand that they really did play.
 Incidentally if you saw any one in tuxedos and what's not on Sat urday afternoon you need not won der any more as they were still having a good time.
 The story of William "Bilf" C. Celentano is pregnant with vivid memories of adolescent friend ships, early associations, and an ever present understanding of the problems of those who must win their way to adult life through struggle.
 The meaning of these experi- ences has, very evidently, etched itself upon his memory and as the poet says, "Tis the set of the sail and not the gale, which tells the way to go."
 "I want no one to envy me-" said the Mayor, who added that as a youngster he lived but a few blocks from the 18th ward. "I myself know what it means to be poor, to have to sell papers, even to shine shoes. No time for enough play, nor to learn how to swim" MT. Celentano said again that he felt Every close" to the people of the 18th ward for those obvious reasons.
 Once again, for a few feeting moments the Mayor relived with vicarious relish or again with so- Der thought his old school days; or conjured up such names as Dan Hewitt, Span Saxon, John Grace and John Gideon as contemporaries and friends. Or spoke in respectful tone of such past representatives of the 18th ward as: Atty. Harry Tolliver, Joseph Peaker, Alfred Modesto, Dr. Carter Marshall, Mrs. Laura Mccoy and the pres ent incumbent the Rev. Richard A.. G. Foster.

 And another sails west, With the self same winds that

APortraitO Of
 Experience
By James E.. Shankel

Booker T. Washington born near Hales Ford, Franklin City, Va, about 1858. Died November IA, 1915. Worked in a salt furnace - later in a coal mine, near which he attended night school and ob- tained the rudiments of his edu- cation. After many difficulties got to Hampton Normal and agricul- tural institute in Virginia, where he taught for awhile - later en- tered Wayland Seminary, Wash ington, ID. C., (Bilbo "the mans town). In 1879 was made instruc- tor at Hampton.
 In 1881 he was selected by Gen eral s. c. Armstrong of Hampton on the application of citizens of Tuskegee, Alabama, to start in that place an institution on the plan of Hampton. State legisla- ture granted an appropriation of $2,00O annually for the salaries of the teaching force. At that time Tuskegee Institute existed in name only, without land, buildings or credit. Washington himself as the only instructor opened the school with an enrolment of 30 students in an old church and a shanty. Later he purchased a plantation about a mile from Tuskegee and moved the school there where it is still located. This same plantation had a total acreage of 3,55O and no buildings by 1942. Washington aimed to give members of his race practical education along lines of industry and trade leading to ultimate economical independence -Shankel

Gifts Sought
 For Roberts Fund
By James Shankel

The new Grace Memorial Hos pital project currently making an energetic drive for funds will in- clude a memorial in the building in honor of Dr. I. N. Porter. The recognition of Dr. Porter means that Negroes in our city are be- ing invited to participate in the drive with distinction and thereby become entitled to share the bene- fits which the completed project will offer to all the residents of New Haven and surrounding en- virons.
 Dr. Porter, who was widely known and respected here in New Haven. will be the first Negro ever to be so honored in these parts in an undertaking of this magnitude.
 Born October 15, 1865, at Sum init Bridge, Delaware, the de- ceased attended public schools there; later matriculated and gra- duated from Lincoln in 1886, still later receiving his medical degree from Yale University. He was a thirty-second degree Mason and a member of the United Order of Odd Fellows.
 Dr. Porter, as many know, came to New Haven in 1903 and set up his medical practice at 198 Dix we'll Avenue where he continued until the time of his passing in 1925.
 Those contributing to this wor- thy fund can demonstrate to our city and the directors of the Grace Memorial Hospital Drive, New Haven, that we can be responsive to a humanitarian appeal, and grateful for the recognition ac- corded a member of our race. Contributions in check form should be made out to the Dr. 1 N. Porter Memorial Fund and for warded to Mrs. Laura Mccoy al 198 jDixwell Ave. Mrs. Mccoy is cooperating with the directors o1 the hospital drive as one of the representatives of the Negro group.

OPINION
By James Shankel

Are we standing in the shadow of
 universal law,
 What is this thou hast written
 leading on to naught but awe, Light our lamps of understanding, Let us hold them near the scroll, Till we comprehend thy meaning, And bring peace unto our soul.
 Morse Robb
 There is no magic wand to be waved, no sorcerer's song to be sung, no hop, skip and a jump in to the flowery bed of race respect, recognition, and the dignity of man. There never has been. There never will be!
 Up from the stacking bonds of slavery came Booker T. Washing ton, with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge of what lie beyond the ken of an undulating cotton field, with a song in his heart, a message in his soul, and God given fearlessness that makes great men of His little creatures. A message in the soul? Is that
 the starting point?
 What is the starting point? "Everyone's ultimate aim and
 strongest desire lie develop
 ing the fullest of human exist
 ence" Carl Jung. "Character, not circumstances
 make the man."
 "In proportion as one renders ser
 vice he becomes great" Great men cultivate love, and
 only little men cherish the spirit
 of hatred."- Booker T. Wash
 ington.
 If there is an after the death do- main from the fastness of which men may subsequently, view the of life time of en- deavor; if there they may observe thief ruition of an original pioneer ng effort-in the 'call to arms,' so to speak, of this day; if they can know of the newer intensity evi- dent in the Negroes demand for his birthright of equality-if there is, we say-then may the power of that domain convey to Booker T. Washington the reverence of a grateful race.

LET'S GET
 
By James E. Shankel

This weeks guest to the let's
 get acquainted column is: The Honorable William c. Celentano, who has stated on many occasions "That all men are created equal and they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. We contend, therefore, for the rights of all men without ref erence to race or religion, not on the ground of expediency, but on the ground of justice and moral right.
 "It means that in America we recognize that men, irrespective of race or religion have rights that cannot be separated from these principles. There is the principle of majority rule and the minority rights. This is one of the prin- ciples that we hold in common" William C. Celentano

 Rev: z. A. Hart used very ap- propriate subject for his sermon last Sunday morning: "Let Every Man Take Heed How He Builds" " Rev. Hart said that "In building any kind of construction, one must have a strong foundation. Chris tians who build strong founda- tion never falter in the time of trouble. Too many people have for gotten that the church of Jesus Christ is built on solid founda- tion, that is, faith in God and your fellowman."
