pool. The quarry for a time was
used as a fishing spot, but this
was stopped by the city. 1t was
fenced in and fishing was banned.
These compliments declared that
the city could easily have con-
verted this area for recreational
purposes for Negroes.
One individual in particular,
who loves to swim, but whose
business makes it impossible for
him to run to Middletown every
evening is carrying on almost a
one-man campaign to get the city
to reconvert the area. He pointed
out that as it stands now, the area
is a health hazard.
We doubt that he will get too
far alone, but with community
backing he ay accomplish some
thing. The city commission and
the department of parks should
be contacted on this. Delegations
and petitions may accomplish
something in this direction. A call
to arms to those desiring in
creased recreational facilities, par
ticularly swimming pools!

Coal Prices Take
Another Hike, Soc TO
per Ton

If you haven't taken care Of
your winter coal, you are in for
a raise in the cost of coal accord
ing to Larry Foster, of the Coal
Exchange. All types of solid fuel
have taken a jump since Satur-
day Foster said Thursday. Top
grades of coal now selling within
the range of $16.50 to $3.50 as
compared to a spread of $3.50
to $16.25 just a few days ago.
Last Thursday, Pocahontus Nut
was quoted $1.25 over the price
last week which was $14,25 to
$500. All Ohio coal went up soc
a ton. The price of Ohio Lump
or Egg, went from $13.25 to
$13.75. Coke, which sold for a
minimum price Of $19.25 before
the increase, is now quoted at
$19.75 to $2O.25 per ton. New
River Lump and New River Egg
is selling at $16.25 to $16.75, ac-
cording to Foster.

Register Now for
November Election

Those who failed to register for
the primary election in May, now
have another opportunity to do
so. Registration will take place
for the November general election
according to E. T. Weahey, clerk
of the Board of Elections.
Registration must take place in
the basement 0 fthe court house
annex, and it will continue from
now until October. Those who
must register in order to vote in
November are those who have
moved, changed their name or
who have just reached voting
age.
These are crucial times. I'm
portant decisions have to be made
in the coming months. One way
the average citizen expresses his
views and his desires is through
the ballot. Those who fail to vote
and who then bemoan government
tai policies which they deem detri-
mental to their interests will have
no one but themselves to censure.
So those who must register to
vote in November, do it now.

Back Of
De Soto Bass Is
Health Hazard

Several citizens have called our
attention to the old quarries now
being used by the city as dumps
on the south end of Banner street
below the DeSoto Bass courts.
The remarks were occasioned by
the limited recreational facilities
for Negroes, particularly swim
ming pools. The nearest outdoor
pool that is available to Negroes
is in Middletown.
Years ago Negroes and whites
made use of an old quarry out on
Findlay street on the east end
of town. The city, however, con-
verified it to a swimming pool and
Negroes were not wanted. Bryant
park near Wherefore has a state
pool which can be used by Ne
groes every Saturday afternoon
during the season at a special ses-
sion. They are not admitted at any
other times.
Our friends complained at the
action of city authorities in con-
verting the larger of the two
quarries off Banner street into a
dump, instead of a swimming

Newsboys
Picnic Saturday

This Saturday will be a banner
day for the newsboys and news
girls of the Daily Express. 1t is
the day publisher Paige Strick-
land sets aside each year just for
these faithful youngsters who car
ry the Express each day to our
customers. Starting about 9 a. m.
tomorrow morning the boys and
girls will picnic all day at Miami
View park out South Broadway.
All Express carriers are re-
quested to be at the Express Of
flee Saturday morning at 10 a. m.
It is safe to predict that the
youngsters viii "kilr' much en-
ergy in a full and wholesome day,
perhaps, than they do on their
daily stints with the Express. But
it is also safe to predict that they
will more than meet the test, they
will bear up under tn e activities
that are planned. Games galore
are planned, and they will stimu-
late the competitive spirit of these
inexhaustable youths.

Prizes will be awarded to those
who win in many of the games
that will be held. These prizes,
and the day generally will be
more than earned by these young
newspaper carriers. For they have
done what the postman has done:
they have "served through snow
and sleet and rain" Through the
cold winter months they rarely,
if ever, failed to show up each af-
ternoon at the Express office for
their batch of papers to deliver.
While we "softies" here in the
office gazed out the window and
shivered just looking at the cold,
they were out in it delivering.
We at the Express congratulate
Mr.. Strickland for this fine ges-
ture to these youngsters, and we
congratulate the youngsters for
such a splendid job done in get
ting the Express to our customers.
We are sure they will one day
grow up to be creditable assets
in this community.
