Joe Louis Meets Foe He

LOS ANGELES, June %. GAN

fighters of all kinds in the ring
he has met one foe he has yet to

in the August issue of Every

He wrote: "There's one fight

West Side Apparently
Forgotten by Officials

repaved along certain sections.
The car tracks no longer repre-
sent a traffic hazard, and the thor
oughfares are halfway presenta-
BILE in appearance. West Fifth
street from the river west is as
unsightly and as hazardous as it
is possible for a street to be. Not
d word of discussion has been
raised in the city commission in
regard to making repairs, to re-
paving. Fifth street has been con-
spicuous by it's absence in all re-
pair discussions.
Our august mayor who is just
fairly adept at speeck making be-
fore West Side audiences, has not
evidenced the fairness to Negroes
that he makes in those talks. AS
everyone knows the City Man
ager was not selected because of
his lack of prejudices. His record
in Wichita, Kansas, is being
checked. Thus far he has done
nothing to merit the praise of
Negroes.
Another example O fthe callous-
ness with which the West Side is
regarded was given in the recent
attempt by the DeSoto Bass ten
ants group to ge the school board
to come through on it's promise
to do something about the in~toler-
able school situation. For the
umpteenth time they were turned
down. They probably knew what
to expect. In fact it is rumored
that one of the reasons the form
er school superintendent, Lads,
was force d out was because of
his increasing liberal policies. The
present superintendent, French,
told the Frontiers club when he
first came here from Illinois to

West Side Of Dayton, that is the
area from the river west to Sol

south to Weaver street, will look
even worse than d weed in a gar

by the state highway department
that bids will be open for the re
paving of Third street from the
bridge to Linden avenue, makes
more and more obvious the DELHI
crate determination to ignore the
Negro ghetto.

it falls and give it time to soak
into the soil.
Seventy-five acres of contoured
corn were planted in terraced
fields. Terracing is used on long
slopes where contouring alone is
not sufficient to protect the field
from heavy rains, and on areas
which need additional surface
drainage. Terracing walks" the
water off the field instead of the
water running down the slopes,
Mr.. Phillips said. The contoured
corn is planted on the terraces,
not across them.
