All this is not to say that Sc

be abolished in the near future.
The old customs will drag along
both because of the insistence OF
whites and because of the long

a result of impersonal factors. AS
the number of travellers of all ra-
ciaf groups, increases, as trips
even across several state lines be-
come shorter in point of time, it
has come about that the effort to
enforce individual state segrega-
ton requirements has caused more
annoyance and discomfort to every
body than arises out of condition
of no enforcement. This has been
especially notable as war time con
ditions brought so many travellers
who were without fixed views on
segregation into states with Sc
gregation laws.
The immediate result of the de-
cision has been to let loose floods
of speculation as to no wthis de-

what extent Interstate segrega-

Asks Ban On
Carnival Site

A delegation from the Ideal I'm
provement Club appeared before
the City Council Tuesday and pc
titioned for a permanent ban on
carnivals and circuses from the
use of the 30th and Writ st Show
grounds.
The petition stated: I'VE who
are residents and property owners
in this district do most strenously
object to these nuisances. The lack
of sanitary and toilet facilities on
these grounds, the noise and the
music which prevent us from
sleeping until a late hour at night
and after all night, rowdyism and
destruction of property, the use of
indecent and profane language by
the riff-raff that always follows
carnivals and ~circuses''.
MI. Earl A. Wheeler, BOIL No.
18th St., spokesman for the dele
cation said the City Council in
formed them that one permit had
been granted to a carnival to oper-
ate west of 3Oth st. but no more
permits would be granted to car
nivals and circuses to show in this
area.

l.. Reeves of the federal district
court in Kansas City granted a
temporary restraining order Mon
day, June "a, to the Brotherhood

AS the OPA slowly releases the
prices on the commodities we must
buy in order to live, it is vital that
we still buy that which we need
and no more. We of the minority
know who will suffer the most be-
cause of the rise of prices. Buy
only what you need and buy only
quality goods. If we who r fort
innate enough to have the money
to buy, purchase everything and
anything we will be the cause OF

FreeP amphletsF For Home Buyers

Veterans and other prospective home buyers may ger
q free check list which can be used as a guide in estimat-
inc the cost of home ownership, the National Housing
Agency announced last week.
The check list is contained in a pamphlet entitled "Be
fore YOU Buy a Home, which warns of the dangers of
initiation in housing prices. 1t is made available to
Mayors Emergency Housing Committees throughout
the country.
More than 80 items are listed which should be check
ed by a person buying or building a house to see if the
property will .sadd up as a sound, long term invest
ment. Details of construction such as foundations,
walls. insulation, wiring and heating equipment should
be carefully examined as well as the neighborhood and
location of the property with respect to the availability
of schools, shopping centers and transportation, the
pamphIet pointed out. Financing items to be consid-
cred include monthly mortgage payments, interest, tax
e, insurance, upkeep and repairs, etc.
The pamphlet also warns that paying an inflated
price for a home represents more than just offering a
premium for immediate occupancy-t involves RUM
ing the risk of losing an investment when supply and
demand are more nearly In balance.

because Wednesday night at the
Walters Key Club is Ladies mite.
I watched the Bingo game for
awhile last Wednesday, and al
though all the ladies were dressed
in their finery, looking fresh and
cool, but some a little worried be-
cause they had not been able to
yell "BINGO". 1 watched the game
MI. Aljay Simms was in charge of
the Bingo game and was calling
out the numbers. He has his share
of the trouble when some would
yell back at him, What was that
number you called before 36 I'M
der Mp. Mr.. Simms kept smiling
but I know he had the time of his
life satisfying all of these ladies.
Mr.. Aljay Simm's wife was the
hostess for the evening. She check
ed the winning cards, gave away
the prizes, as well as greeted the
guests as they entered the club.
Every Wednesday a new hostess is
chosen, and soon for the big party
the Walters Key Club will have in
the near future, a grand hostess
will be chosen.
The biggest thrill of the evening
was when Mrs. Pearl Mitchell, Of
25O4 No. oath ST., won the grand
prize. I know all the ladies wanted
to win this one. 1t was a lovely
compact, rich in color, delicately
made. a gift any woman would
cherish.
So ladies, remember Wednesday
night at the Walters Key Club.
You may drink if you like, sit if
YOU like, talk if you like, but you
are assured of a pleasant and ex-
citing evening.
If you are 13 to 10 years of age
and like to dance, play ping-pong,

fun for all the boys and girls OF
