meau writes me that Miss
Gloria Clark of Roxbury Me

the $500 Sears Foundation
scholarship among other high
school honors. Also that Jean
Smith has been elected preSi-
dent Of the I948 class. We COM
mend all good students at every
school, Also the CTS who take
such an interest in their behalf.
YOUNG VETERANS, white
and colored, often take time to
inform me of some worthwhile
achievement or project that the
average person might overlook.
1t would see mthat these young
men, conditioned by the hard
ship of war, have a more ma
ture and deeper appreciation of
the worthwhile things of life.
In these men there is hope for
mankind
MAYOR JAMES NJ. CURLEY,
like all mortals, has made some
mistakes along the path of 70
odd years. One of his most
publicized has been the risk he
has taken to help others. His
charities to the common man,
the humble and less fortunate
have been legion. I never knew
Curley to denounce any race,
color or religion. He gave OPP
portunity to many.
UNEQUAL JUSTICE is APP
parant to most colored Ameri-
cans in the Curley case. I re-
fuse to believe that FDR has
anything to do with it. The
injustice is by comparisons. A
South Boston man who did
much to create citizen unity,
is pushed down while Dixie dem
ogogues like Bilbo and Rankin
exercise disunity crimes and do
not suffer.
ALL POLITICIANS are not
saints, but Curley was saint
compared to some of those who
bask in Washington or draw
political pay-rolls. They mis-
use the mails, send hate litera-
ture and letters, incite disunity
and cheat the people with I'M
kept promises. Yet they have
the means of immunity, Even
lynch mobs are set free.
NOTHING GOOD will be
gained by condemning Mr.. Cur
ley in the twilight of his lis
His was hard, brave life from
South Boston to Beacon Hill to
the Capitol. Along the way he
gave many a man a break and
it seems not too much to ask that
he be given a break now

throughout the country as CIV
en- at their national convention
in Atlantic City, July 1927,
show that these clubs are play
ing vital roles in the develop
ment Of Negro business and pro-
fessional interests, as well as in
efforts for general civic i'm
provement and increased job op-
portunities for Negroes.
Highlighting this convention

ness and professional men, were
a public meeting addressed by
Lester B. Granger, Executive
Secretary of the National Urban
League; and the Convention
Luncheon addressed by J. Finley
Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of
the Independent Benevolent Order
Of the Elks of the World. Both
Granger and Wilson commended
the club on it work on vital is
sues facing the Negro group and
the nation today and challenged
its leadership to meet the need
for more chapters of the club in
other cities. Mr.. Wilson said act
ivities Of Frontiers Clubs are ex-
amples Of men banding together
to take what they have to make
what they want Mr.. Granger
said the Frontiers Clubs have
rendered valuable aid to Urban
Leagues by their cooperation on
the local and national level. In
cluded in the public meeting
which was held in the beautiful
New Jersey Avenue School, was
the presentation of a pin and
certificate Of honorary member
ship to Eugene Kinckle Jones,
pioneer social worker, and Gen
eral Secretary of the National Ur-
ban League.
Mayor Altman, in delivering his
address to the visiting delegates,
paid a high tribute to N. B. Al

BETTER LIGHTING IN THE
MID CITY AREA

1t is time that the citizens Of
the Mid-City area give greater
attention to the lighting in Ger
tain sections Of the Mid-City area
There is far too little light
ing in these sections. What light
that is either too dim. ineffici-
ent. out Of date, and Of little
service.
Some of these areas where
immediate attention should be
given to better lighting facilities
is from 18th and Lake St.. to 30th
and Lake st. Lighting is very poor
On Charles, Decatur, Seward and
Franklin and between "a and 30,
There is just a few sections in
the Mid-City ares where better
light is badly needed.
In the City Improvement Plan,
a program of better lighting is
provided for our city. 1t is hop
ed that our City Commissioners
and others that have charge of
carrying out this program will
see that the Mid-City. area is
included. 4
The best way to cut down petty
thief, juvinile delinquency, GRIM
inal attacks automobile accidents,
and etc. is to have well-lighted
city streets. Poor and inefficient
lighting acts as a incentive to
those who find nothing better to
do than prey on living in areas
where lighting facilities r in
adquate.
Committing robbery etc. against
the citizens of the area. ~
: Poor lighting denotes an alert
and wide-awake citizens in a
community. Good lighting means
added attractiveness to an area
or section of a city. Good light
ing shows the pride of citizens
in a community in their welfare
and well-being. Good lighting
acts as a direct incentive to new
home buyers encourages bust
nessmen to move into an area,
increases the number Of visitors
to a city, and enhances the beauty
of the area that it embrasses.
Where modern lighting has been
installed, it has more than paid
for itself in that it has made
law enforcement easier and
brought about greater pride and
interest of the citizens in the
value Of a well-lighted city area.
The Mid-City area can enjoy
the same benefits from good
lighting as other areas of our
city, if the citizens would demand
to be heard.
Let us citizens of the Mid-City
make better lighting a must on
our agenda.
