AIR OF MYSTERY IN LOUIS RESTAURANT
New York - It seems tha


 mysterious things begin to hap pen at the 125th Street Restaur- ant. Sometime ago when he went to California his partners in the business began to have ideas that seemed to vanish up- on his return.
 But for several months now rumors have been emanating from that establishment that would seem to indicate that all is not well.
 It is alleged that no sooner had Joe gotten as far as Cali fornia on his six weeks tour to Mexico and South America than the fireworks began to pop.
 Ever since the opening of the exclusive restaurant Joe has had two personal representa- tives on the premise who work ed daily in the office. One was l his secretary, a MT. Sain from Wayne University, and Mrs. l.. c. Bethel, who was formerly with the United States Employ ment Service. Both of these individuals were extremely competent and really the Jason persons between the restaurant and the Harlem public.
 Now rumor has it that both of these individuals have been dropped and replaced by white workers. This rumor comes out of the fact that inumerable phone and personal inquiries for them at the restaurant have all resulted in statements that hey are out sick or on leave for a few days.
 But actually no one seems to know anything specific aside from the fact what Joe Louis does not have any personal representatives there anymore. And this is making the Harlem population that patronizes the establishment buzz with ques- tion and resentment.
 In this buzzing there are in- numerable angles given. One is the fact that the original planners started out on too large a scale and have been un- able to make certain re-adjust- ments in their planning that would cut the cost of operation and give them an opportunity to grow.
 Then there are others who suggest that the originators of the idea labored under the inn pression that Joe would spend practically all of his time in New York and especially at the restaurant. And that this was out of the question because Joe would be losAg a great deal of money through sacrificing personal appearances all over the nation.
 So Harlem is now all agog wondering how much undoing is going on at the Joe Louis

In a game featured by hard hit
ting, for the second consecutive
week, the B team of the Smyrna
Clayton baseball squad defeated
the A team on the afternoon of
April 20. The final score was IL
to 4. William Bodley made his
initial appearance of the season,
signed his contract to play with
the Smyrna team, and celebrated
by hitting a triple. John Knight
had three singles for three times
at bat, Fred Lamb demonstrated
that he still has his hitting eye by
getting two hits for three times at
bat. Robert Jacobs also got two
for three. Sam Jacobs hit double
and single in four times at bat.
Ronnie Grier had two for four.
Walter Deakyne hit 500, getting
two hits in four efforts. He furth-
er distinguished himself by walk
ing four, striking out eight, and
declining an offer to sign con-
tract with the Smyrna team. All
of the hits We're clean hard-hit
drives, which indicates that the
local team may have better than
everage offense. The base-running
was smart and the play in general
alert.

RICHARD G. PRICE


Richard c. Price is a skilled en-
gineer with Wilson Refrigeration,
Inc, the sales division of the Will
son Cabinet Company, but the
scope of his duties extends over a
much wider area than the title
would indicate. AS sales engineer,
he handles all service and engin-
eering problems that arise with the
operation of wilson equipment in
the field, and acts as liaison be-
tween the field and the company's
engineering department.
In addition to these duties, Mr..
Price organizes and instructs class
es for dealers and distributors of
Wilson products throughout the

ed States, these dealers or the men

struction by Mr.. Price. Also he
has taught classes for Wilson en-
ployees who are veterans taking
on-the-job training under the G. L.
Bill of Rights.
Mr.. Price became associated
with Wilson's in January 1910,
when he was a craftsman in the
engineering department, working
mostly on the design and develop
ment of walk-in refrigerators. He
was responsible for valuable ad-
vancement in this field, and upon
his return from military service, he
was transferred to the sales de-
partment, where he served as as
sistant to the Sales Manager, until
Last year when he was made Sales
Engineer.
In June 1941, Mr.. Price was CALL
ed into service with the u. S.
Naval Reserve. After six weeks
with naval intelligence in Philadel-
phia, he was assigned to amphib-
ious forces in the South Pacific,
participating in the Guadalcanal
campaign, following which he was
assigned to a 50-week course in
communications at the Post Grad
uate School of the u. S. Naval
Academy at Annapolis Upon his
graduation, he was assigned to the
u. S. S. Washington, where he
spent the remaining 18 months of
