them prominent in athletics.
Charles d. Lutz, Superintendent
Of Schools, made good on his
threat to cancel all games if the
athletes did not return to class.
All other cNtra-CurriCulaT aCtivi-
ties were also called of. The 500
truants who we're over IS years
Of age found themselves in the
humiliating prediCament Of hav-
ing to apply for rcadmissiOn es-
cOrted by their parents.
The word strike" was not used
in newspaper reports The Gary
POST TRIBUNE, the city's leading
daily, labeled the protesting stu
dents "truants," continuing to back
the Boards decision even after hun
dreds of indignant parents had can
celled subscriptions. The local
prosecutor announced that parents
who disregarded uuancy notices
would be charged with contributing
to juvenile delinquency.
There was a rash Of meetings in
Gary that first week end after
school opened. While some gathered
to protest the new ruling, 20 civic
groups were putting their heads to-
gether to fortify the city ordinance
The Chamber Of Commerce issued
a public appeal. Members of the
League of Women Voters went
around town using their persuasive
arguments on the parents Of
truants. Clergymen Of all denomi-
nations pleaded with their congrc-
cations to send their children back
to school.
The United Steel Workers
voted that members who did not
return their youngsters would be
violating the anti-discriminatiOn
policy of the National CIO and
were, therefore. subject to sus-
pension from the union. A state
law was invoked for the first time
when a man suspected of egging
on the truants was arrested under
the new Indiana statute, which
makes it unlawful for any person
TO spread malicious hatred by
reason Of race, color or religion"
The break finally came during the
second week Of school, when parents
of the absentees met and decided
they could no longer buck the solid
opposition Of the community. BY
the end of that week, eighty per
cent of the truants were back in
their classrooms. Enrolment was
normal the following Monday.
Quietly and firmly, the better
citizens of Gary took their stand
for democracy, and stuck by it.
Some suffered for it, too; incvi-
tably, they made enemies and lost
friends. But, in the end, Mayor
James T. Finerty could say with
pride, Cary does not offer partial
citizenship to anyone" Gary is on
the way to a better life for all its
residents.

Letter in Stur Gazette, Moose
Lake, Deals Frankly With
Lack Of Sex instruction

Letter by Carl f. CBuck) David
son in Star Gazette Moose Lake,
Mimi.
Editor: At the head Of their
readers opinion columns, many
newspapers state that letters on
controversial subjects" will not be
published. | understand a "contro-
versy" is a debate; a disputation
or discussion Of contrary opinions.
A discussion of the weather might
be controversial" But in the Ian
guage of editors, a subject "contro-
versial' means opinions contrary to
those of the newspaper, with the
added meaning, "a letter that might
alarm or excite a few Of our in
huential citizens"
We were startled when you
threw caution and convention to
the winds and plunged into the
depths Of controversial" subjects.
You boldly advocated sex inStruc-
ton in the school and suggested
that sex be lifted from the dirt
and CRIME of back alleys and gut
ters to the level Of the class room.
We will talk about the func-
tiOns of our hearts, livers, kid
neys, bladders and other parts
and organs of our bodies, but dis
cussiOn of sex is VerbOten. We
think of sex as something I'M
clean.
How many of Us recall childish
query that caused our parents to
blush, turn away, and udmOnlsh us
to never talk about things like
that" How many young people
have become involved in harmful
habits because they have lacked
knowledge of the all important
matter Of sex and reproduction Of
human life? How many young
lives have been broken because we
have denied our children the right
to learn about sex?
Young people become victims Of
perversion because they lack knowl-
edge and fear to contide in their
parents. Others contract dread dis
eases because they have never been
instructed ON sex health. During
the war a great number Of young
men were found unfit for military
service because they had learned
about sex in what a recent Letter
box contributor called "hush- hush
conversations on the school grounds
and street corners"
"Sex instruction belongs to the
home" is Il favorite argument. But
it is evident that the parents have
failed in this task. and unless We
learn to think of sex as a necessary
part of life instead of as a shame
full curse, we will long continue to
have the bushes and admonltionS
that drive our children into acts
of perversion, to other pitfalls, and
eventually. to disease, physical and
mental breakdown, or at the least,

Children under the jurisdiction
Of the Gary Public Schools shall no
be Disseminated against in tn,
school districts in which they live
OF within the schools which they at
tend, because Of race, color or re
ligion." This resolution, passed by
the Gary Board Of School Trustees
rang up the curtain on a tense ano
exciting drama.
The prologue had already been
staged in Gary's FrOebel high
school, the only nOn-seGregated
public school then in town. Two
years ago, with Negro enroll
ments increasing, white pupils at
FrOebel staged a walk-Out. Some
parents backed them. fearing
loss in property values in the
school district. At that time,
Frank Sinatra was invited to
come and talk to the FrOebeI
truants. lie came. but his talk
had little effect.
That incident made two facts
clear. The tOwnspeople learned that
outsiders could not hope to cure an
evil, if the community itself was
not ready to tackle it, They re-
allied, too, that fortnight policy
was needed throughout the school
system, il the children were to I'M
derstand what was expected Of
them.
Gary, with a war-swelled popula-
ton of 10000, including many
white and colored workers from the
South, has the highest ratio of
Negro residents in any northern
city. Twenty-eight per cent Of the
public school pupils are Negroes.
Some white newcomers, bring
ing with them the SOuth's tradi-
tiOnal attitude toward Negroes,
found support among the rem =
nAnts Of lndiana's ku klux Khan.
But their influence was far out
weighed by such groups as the
Bureau for Intercultural Educa-
ton, the Urban League, the An
selm Forum and the CIO unions.
which had been campaigning for
racial equality for some time. As
a result. the majority Of Gary's
citizens were sOlidly behind the
school boards new ruling.
Between the time Of the Boards
decision and the opening of school
last fall, the authorities let it be
known they would be firm. Teach
ers and policemen were groomed in
the delicate tactics of handling any
emergencies that might crop up.
And plenty did. The opening Of
school on September , set off u
wave Of mass truanCy, mainly cen
tered in one of Gary's largest
schools, where thirty-eight Negro
children were brought into the low
er grades. BY the end Of the first
week, 1900 of the Emerson schools

Unlike most authors Of nonf1c-
tional books on sports, Robert Smith
is throwing a change of pace in
Baseball" He already has two
novels to his credit and the wonder
is how and why Mr.. Smith delayed
so long In presenting a book which
so obviously reflects elimination of
a childhood ambition.
Only a person who has played
baseball and loved the game all his
life could have written Baseball"
Mr.. Smith, who has coached several
sports, has turned out a book which
|overf1ows with memories and impress
sions.
At a time when the market IS
flooded with histories of the various
major league clubs or with accounts
of diamond eras ("The Washington
Senators" THE Detroit Tigers, -

to cover the entire game from it's in
ception. And he does so in loose,
highly readable book which is both
factual and opinionated.

fan than for the youngsters, al
though 1t also makes good reading
for the present-day teen-ager. The
book debunks Abner Doubleday as
the father of the game and attempts
to sell the reader on the idea that
Alexander Cartwright is the true
founder. 1t deals with the old

security he could give her. All the
wiles and clever little intrigues she
had practiced to accumulate sundry
lovers while her husband was away
at war, were quickly diverted to the
furtherance of his political ambi-
tions when he came back.
1t is not very pretty picture the
author paints of the French gov

power in 1899. It was thoroughly
corrupt and inept and the worst of
them all was the rapacious Director
Barras. French politics at this time
