routes covered by their buses are through profitable areas. Some of their area coverage has not inn proved in the past fifteen years.
 For reference to this last state ment ask any hard working do- mestic worker just how far one must walk to get a bus into down. town from the suburban areas, and whether or not the company should have better lbus service.
 In public service someone must sacrifice, else the term loses it's significance. 1t ought not to be the public at all times. I'm most cases the people charged with the re- sponsibility of furnishing a public service at profit should be the ones to sacrifice. The Connecticut Copany rates much attention at this time because they operate in this state pretty much in any man ner they see fl t. They have not as yet given opportunity to Negroes to operate their buses. All that they have for our people at pres ent is menial tasks. Yet we must of a necessity use their transpor- tation.

Masonic FroEc Colorful Event
SHRINERS BALL

WestviHe, Conn. - One of the most colorful evenings frater- nally that has been experienced in the State for long time was sponsored Friday evening, Octo- Der II, at the Westville Masonic Temple by Arabic Temple, No. 40 A. E. A. O. NobIes of the Mystic Shrine.
 The Grand Ball committee was under the able chairmanship of Noble John T. Myers of New Ha- ven. Guests were in attendance from Philadelphia, New York and all over the state.
 The beautiful costumes and general air of hilarity were all indicative of the fact that the strain of the war period is over and people are yearning to get back to normal once more. Addi- tionally the large percentage of Masons in attendance gave mute evidence to the rapid growth of the Masonic Order throughout the state.
 One of the honored guests was the recently elected Grand Mas ter of Connecticut, Leslie Dun-
 can of Hartford.

tention to an area where most of the structures are old and have been overcnowded for years.
 Mrs. Nathan Brenner, the own CT who lives on Colebrook St, aek- nowledged that she has owned the property for seven years and nev- CT bothered to look at her invest ment. For as she put it, "The building seemed to be in good shape and when you buy something you feel chat it must be all right" ]"
 So really Mrs. Brenner has car ried the property on Avon Street purely on faith and the rent she received and now both of these have gone because the property, or what remains of it, is to be razed.
 There has naturally been a good deal of interest and concern manifested in this odd accident by persons living in that section of Hartford. People are conscious of the fact that far the majority of

rhe property is old end badly out of repair. They know that they live in a section where Banks, Real Estate Companies and individual owners can do just about as they please.
 The city records seem to indf- cate that there actually was a time when if any structure showed any major variation from the building code it would be quickly con- deuaned. But times have changed and the city finds itself on the spot with some of it's safety ma- chinery. For instance if the city actually condemned the many structures that need condemning at the moment and are housing fami- lies, then the city would find itself being asked to re-house these homeless people. And no matter what the city felt was it's moral responsibility, the chances are it could find no place to house such people.
 So it looks as though any number of buildings in the North End of Hartford are going to have to reel, rock and bulge before any thing of major importance will be done for the people in housing.

White Lawyers
 Fight Exclusion Defeated In Vote

Coronado, Calf. - There is a hot battle on in the state of Cali fornia Bar Association between those who feel that the granting of membership to Negro lawyers is not a question of rules but a mandate of the law and the Con- stitution and those who feel that membership is purely voluntary and that each local group has the right to make it's own regulations.
 At a recent meeting of the State Bar Association a resolu- tion was introduced to break down the racial barrier by the San Francisco Chapter of the Ma tional Lawyers Guild. The reso- lution was aimed specifically at the Los~Ange1es Bar Association. The resolution was defeated on the floor.

Jackie Robinson Ends Season In
 Blaze Of Glory
WEEPs FOR JOY

Montrsal: Never has an Ameri-
 can ath1ete more thoroughly jus
 tifed himself than Jackie Robin
 son did sn the triumph of Mon
 treal oveN Louisville in the Little
 World Sdries. Not only did Ro-
 binson play stellar baseball but
 he served as the major spark in
 bringing the first series victory
 to Montreal.
 The first three games of the se- ries were played in Louisville, Kentucky fWhere the fans gave the worst exhibition of racial bi- as that has been manifested in a long time. They booed the Ne gro player unmercifully and did everything they could to dis tract or disconcert him. And it worked pretty well for Montreal lost two of the three games in Louisville; one by a rout of 15-6. It was so conclusive in fact that Buck Weaver, Sports columnist for the Louisville Times had the following to say.
 ''Well it shouldn't be too tough from here On out, even though we are playing on enemy soil. :. whereas Montreal figured the better club, on the strength of that rout (the 15-6 Louisville victory in the third game) we are to suspect that the fig lres either lied or thhe compe- ion in the Information League his year was vastly inferior to hat in the American Associa- ion. Clay Hopper threw every 'ody from the I. L's leading pit her and the leading batsnnan to he bat boy at us in the three .ames played here and in two of hese fracases they looked about s impotent as a band of sand ,tters."
 And then the teams moved in , Montreal, friendly environ- lent, the raciase pressure was of Johnson and he went directly to 'ork. He paced them in their 8 victory in the fifth game. [e scored two of, the runs and l rove in another. Then in the snth inning of the final game Johnson came up with the ba- es loaded and rapped the hit in lat won the series.
 The crowd went mad with ex- itement and rushed to find Jac- ie. They found him in tears of ,y that he had been able to meet n unequal struggle and make 1e grade. |.

RES"
 Dr. Arthur H. Wilson, tn,
 youngest and most recent medi
 co of the group in Hartford,
 Conn.,, is an excellent incentive tc young people who hope some day to accomplish things that are worthwhile.
 "Artie," as he is known to his
 friends and a host of sports lo vers, is truly a. Hometown boy who has made good. He had his first school experinces at the Northeast school from which he graduated in 1880. He attended H. P. H. s. where he established himself as both a student and an athlete, being one of the best baseball players in the history of the Hilltop" He was gradu- ated in 1884.
 He entered Union University in Richomnd. Virginia for his College work and while there was a football and basketball star. "Arty" completed his college work with the Class of 1888 and immediately picked out the ardu- ous task of pursuing medical course at Howard University School of Medicine. But attend ing Medical School is more than s notion for a poor boy and it was during this period in lis life when his skill as baseball play. or came in handy. He played semi-professiona1 baseball sum- mers and any number of fans who saw him perform in and out of the State are convinced that he was easily big League base ball material. In fact for a very brief period he was member of the Cuban Giants but had to forego this to be near his wife and child in Hartford.
 In 1941 he completed his me- dical training and was accepted as an Interne at Freedman's Hos pital, in Washington D. c. where he remained until September 1942 when he entered the Uni ted States Army. He was imme- sent to Carlisle, Penn, for a six weeks orientation course for Army Doctors. From there he went to Fort Huachuca in Arizona where he joined the 92nd Division.
 He served throughout the Ita- ian Campaign with the 92nd and went through perhaps the most difficult campaign experienced in Europe by the American forces.
 Christmas 1945, Captain Ar ,hur H. Wilson returned to Hart ford and established his civilian practice. Dr. Wilson has a wife Mrs. Gladys Harris Wilson and ,on Lee Wilson.

Everybody Benefits -
Let Everybody Give!

Let Everybody Give!
In Birmingham and Jefferson
County, Alabama, / have served
as chairman of the colored advis-
DRY council of the Community
Chest for six years. 1t has been
the duty of the executive commit
tee of that council each year to
select an outstanding colored citi-
zen to head solicitation group
to carry the appeal directly to
colored business and professional
people and to supervise the house
toulouse canvassing in the colored
residential areas.
This colored division had a quo
ia. The bulk of colored people in
the community gave through other
divisions, such as the industrial,
commercial, health and social
agencies, on the basis of place of
employment. Through these other
divisions colored citizens gave up
wards of $4,000, whereas the
quota for the colored division
never exceeded $4,000.

one of the largest auditoriums in
the city and is composed of repre-
sentatives of almost every reput-
able segment of the community
This year for the first time a
colored person will stand before
that body and nominate a colored
person for a place on the Board
of Directors Of the Chest.
The job of colored citizens in
Birmingham this year is, there
fore, more important than ever
insofar as doing their best by way
of contributions and assistance in
this annual drive.
We are beginning this year to
train our youth to assume and
execute civic responsibilities. All
seniors in the colored high schools
of Birmingham and Jefferson
County are carrying the message
Of the Community Chest into the
upwards of 200 colored churches
in the county. Around 500 have
volunteered to perfor mthis SER
vice. 1t is one of the most i'm
portant steps made by colored
people affiliated with the Chests
annual appeal.
Nine young women to every one
young man have volunteered to
serve as members of the speakers
bureau. Young men in the rural
areas have been more responsive
than those in the metropolitan
areas. And women as whole
have shown to be more civic-con-
scious than men.
It is being discovered that white
people judge colored people by the
degree in which they assume civ
ic responsibility.
While we battle for rights, we
must not fail in our responsible
ity on the community level. Here
in is the fire out of which comes
gold. Herein we give light as we
are consumed.

made to appear that there is no
basis on which to regard the col
ored citizen as the equal of others.
We recommended to our advis-
DRY council membership this year
that the so-called colored division
be abolished; that an outstanding
colored person be named as one
of the co-chairmen of the annual
appeal and that he be charged with
the responsibility of the drive
among colored citizens, as citizens,
in all divisions into which they
fall by virtue of employment, oc-
cupation or place Of residence with
no colored quota as such. V. L.
Harris, youngest local insurance
company president, accepted this
responsibility and has an office
in the Community Chest building
downtown.
This year when the quota is up
wards of 100000 each colored
person, as every other person,
looks upon the total quota as the
quota of all; if raised, as a COM
munity victory, and until raised, a
community responsibility.
We also recommend that the
names of five civic leaders be SUBJ
mitted to the nominating commit
tee of the Community Chest from
which to pick one for nomination
for a place on the Board of Dir
ectors Of the Community Chest. If
the name of at least one colored
person is not presented to the
nominating committee, it has been
agreed that one of our group at
the annual meeting Of the entire
chest membership will place a
colored person in nomination. This
viii give the person making the
nomination opportunity to present
the need for greater participation
in the administration of the af-
fairs of the Community Chest by
colored people on policy making
level.
The annual meeting is held in

There are upwards Of 100000
colored people in Birmingham and
close to 100000 within a radius
of fifty miles. The circulation
of newspapers in this area satur-
ates the territory, and the radio
reaches people who cannot read.
Through these two mediums you
will understand how easy it was
to give false impression of what
colored people contributed in the
annual Community Chest appeal.
Let US say that on the first day
of the drive the colored division
reported $4,000. The newspapers
would say that the colored divi-
sion had raised 80 per cent of it's
quota, if $4,000 happened to be
its quota. In the minds of people
there was established the false
impression that 100000 colored
people had quota of $4,000,
while the 100000 whites in the
community had a quota of up
wards of 100000.
Under this set up, the fact that
in the Industrial, commercial and
other divisions where colored peo-
pie along with others made their
contribution colored people were
giving upwards of 100000 was
lost sight of. The net result was
that on the basis of meeting the
community responsibility, it was
