Louis Battling Godoy
Third Time in Start
OF Exhibition Tour
RY the Assoeio.ed Prsss

MEXICO CITY. Feb. Heavy
weight Champion Joe Louis and
Chilean Arturo Godoy, twice con-
tender for the world title, meet for
the third time m a 10-round no.
decision bout tonight inaugurating
Louis Latin American exhibition
tour.
The scene is the new 60,000-seat
bull ring and Promoter Gene Lucas
has high hopes, of sell-out that
might result in a gate of $4,000.
Both were pronounced in "good
shape" Louis has been in training
here for more than a week, while
Godoy arrived only three days ago.
Godoy says the mile and half
altitude doesn't bother him, but
Louis admits it affects him "just a
little" The fight will be in 2-minute
rounds instead of the regulation 8.
Louis has impressed Mexicans as
a fine fighting machine, supremely
confident and thoroughly relaxed,
while Godoy seems to be more the
nervous type. Both have given fans
the impression they will put on more
than the usual exhibition.
Louis said in typical Louis fashion,
"1'1 fight like always" while Godoy
declared ''If I don't win, I'll give
him plenty of trouble" In their
two previous meetings, both title
bouts. in 1910, Louis won decision
in IS rounds and later scored an
eight-roundc knockout victory. y
The champions take for the exhi-
bition is $4,000 and per cent of
the profits, while Godoy gets a fat
s10,500 and expenses.
Godoy will be fighting at what he
calls my best weight"-200 pounds
Louis weighed 218 on arrival and
will enter the ring at about 212, still
4 pounds over his best.

Of paramount Importance to
clubwomen and all other citizens
at this time is what has happened
TO the national school lunch pro-
gram. When Congress cut the en.
tire appropriation for school
lunches out of the federal budget
it dealt a death blow to "a pro,
gram the Federal Government
has been offering the states as
s~istance in for more than a de-
cade-unless the bill now before

rest of the school year is passed.
1t is now up to the people in
every community who want to
provide their school children with
milk and school lunches TO make
their wishes known to the Con-
gress, and unless they act
promptly there will be no de

Congress appropriate sufficient
funds to carry the program next

committee. L e e r S, kilograms
and resolutions should be sent to
these men in addition to North

men, asking that they support the
deficiency appropriation bill.
When Congress encouraged the
states to expand their school
lunch program and authorized the
appropriation of such sums as
were necessary to enable them to
do so, the program became one
of the most popular ventures of
the Federal Government. As late
as January, l947, President Tru-
man said, Il hope this program
will be expanded until we IRE

the deficiency appropriation, with
the program saved, the hope is
that Congress will yield to the
wishes of the citizens of the

that school children who other
wise would not have the benefit

In considering the Importance OF

Is there any National asset

children of the Nation, and should
not their welfare be considered as
of primary Importance in relation

ment?
Are we willing to sacrifice any
program which will improve the
health of the Nation and overcome
some of the APPALLING conditions
which were revealed by the high
rate of reflections under the Selec.
tive Service System?
Can we afford to continue the
economic and social waste caused
primarily because of poor nutri-
ton, causing greater susceptibility
to disease and consequent impair.
ment of health? Where is there
any economy in such waste?
In our greatest T. of national
prosperity, are we going to deny
the benefits of the school lunch
program to an additional three
million children whom the states
report they are ready to include
in the program next year?
That the officers of the North
Carolina Federation of Women's
club, from the president, Mrs.
Karl Bishopric, to the smallest
committee craftsmanship favor
continuance of the school lunch
program goes without saying. The
same is true of the rank and file
of the membership, and citizens
generally. 1t is their hope that
Congress will act speedily to as
sure continuance of the program.
