pleasure and an honor to become
acquainted with the heart of the
Jewish community of Arizona in
Tucson at time when the rising
Jewish state in Israel casts its
glory over the whole world, Jew
and non-Jew alike. It is really
the dawn of a new day. Out of

OBSERVATIONS
Continued from Last Week.)
BY Mack c. Nance

"
The Smith Ball (English) Trad
ing Company, the various chambers
of commerce and other French,
Spanish and German business in
stitutions, had contributed literally
to this function. Due to the uneX-
pected number of visitors, it had
been decided to serve refreshments
before the speaking bgan. During
refreshments every one was getting
acquainted. No racial antagonism
existed. Soon, the orchestra, COM
posed of members of the famous
Constabulary band, struck up an
old and beautiful Spanish waltz.
This was very conducive and car
ried an urge for dancing. Each
gentleman grabbed a member of
the opposite sex, this in total dis
regard to race. A Spanish Senorita,
whom I had been conversing, eag-
erly grabbed my arm and we
among hundreds of others gave
zest to the sweet refrains of this
heavenly music. Soon heard loud
and vociferous voices near the ros-
trum, in the west end of reception
hall. This was of course, more than
'crackerdom' could stand. The con-
fusion became greater. noticed a
Negro and a Filipino, holding the
outstretched hand of Dixie af-
flicted cop, with his billie in a
threating position. This calamity
became so great that the orchestra
ceased playing. Soon, the police
police mob brought out Buck
Thompson, a Negro clerk, in the
police department. Next, came
Captain Brooks, formally captain
of the 10th Infantry, (Colored) ,
Brooks was purchasing agent for
the Constaublary. Next, came Mr..
Fortune, with a police on either
side. I shall never forget his last
words on this occasion. He was
perfectly calm and seemingly, ex-
pecting this. He said, "I have been
viciously and cowardly betrayed, I
shall go to the bottom of this trea-
sonable and villanous conspiracy"
This expression of well organized
hate, stands out in my mind, as. the
most derogatory, the most bestial,
low and groveling act, in the his
tory of the American people. I
have not, to this date, learned the
exact mission of this great man.
This act of beStial animated hate:
reduced to zero, my tolerance, res
pect and feelings towards the Cau-
casion or white races, zen masse
but not as Individuals End of first

Hines Denies
Brutal Staying

David Hines, % North 18th St.,
still denied guilt of the brutal
shovel Staying of E. M. Sheffield,
last February 20.
The evidence against Hines who
is being held in county Jail without
bail under charges of first degree
murder, is mostly circumstantial.
Hines had argued with Sheffield
earlier in the day of the Staying
over the defendants splitting on the
floor. Forty-five minutes to one
and a half hours after the argu-
ment, Hines allegedly returned
and killed Sheffield who was TAX
ing nap by hitting him repeated
ly on the head with shovel.
Hines was seen hurrying out OF
the back door of the rooming house
supposedly carrying something.
Later the police found a blood
stained shovel and a button which
matched a missing button on Hines
coat near a fense in the backyard.
Trial has been set for April 20.

Girl Scouts Compete
For New Radio BADGE

New York, March 3O.-The Girl
Scouts, colored and white, all over
the country are beginning to COM
pete for the much-coveted Radio
Badge, newest achievement award
in the Community Life" program
fthe organization of girls of all
racial groups.
Among the tokens of achieve
ment for the intermediate Girl
Scouts, those between the ages of
10 and IA, the Radio Badge is uni
que in that it emphasizes the un-
derstanding and performance,
rather than the building of radio
sets.
To earn the badge, the girls have
a choice of ten out of twenty ac-
tivities listed. They must include
learning what is involved in pro-
ducing a program for broadcast,
such as directing, acting, writing,
announcing, getting sound effects,
cit cetera. This may be done by Wis
iting a radio studio.
Another "must" among the ac-
tivities for winning the badge is
the planning of a fifteen-minute
broadcast with troop members,
based on a Girl Scout activity, di-
viding the responsibility for writ
ing or securing a script, including
the announcements, composing or
selecting musical accompaniment,
collecting sound effects, acting,
and directing. The program may
be given over a radio station or as
a mock broadcast.
A list of the other activities to
be performed and complete details
may be obtained from national or
local officers of the Girl Scouts.
Among them are giving critical
analysis of a favorite radio pro-
gram, planning a listening party"
with troop members, talking with
people who work in radio or read
ing about their work.

Some of the great powers believe

Noe preached 12O years about
the flood without seeing water
enough to float a roWboat. The
stars fell, the sun refused to give
light in 1888. The creatures Will

area, according to Bureau of Labor
statistics surveys Of permits issued
during the first half of the year.
Especially commendable has been
the number of rental units turned
out by home builders in the Metro
politan Area of Washington.
20 Per Cent Increase Cited.
Official Government figures (Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics) show that
private home builders have put in
place $4,000 family units through
August. And four months produc-
ton is yet to 60 on the books. The
present total of new homes started
is 100000 units ahead of last year,
an increase of 20 per cent.
When we think Of these new
dwellings in terms of people shell
tered, we get a clearer idea Of how
many new houses have been turned
out in answer to the demand. The
$50, 900 homes started during the
first eight months Of 1948 brings
the postwar total far above the two
million mark.
On the basis of four per family,
enough people have been housed to
equal the entire populations of Den
yer, Minneapolis, st. Paul, Indian
apolis, Atlanta, New Orleans,
Dallas, Seattle, Toledo, Rochester,
Des Moines, Boston, San Francisco
and St. Louis.
Nothing but the cold facts will do
when we talk about housing. Dur
ing this summer private builders
have provided homes for American
families at the rate of $50 homes
per hour, nine per minute-over
100000 per year. This is based
on the normal 40-hour week.
This volume production has been
at price levels that meet the needs
of middle and lower income families.
While costs in certain urban areas
are higher than others, the national
average is the truest measure Of
the total home building efforts.
Federal Reserve Boards 1948 sur
vey of consumer finances shows
that 80 per cent Of all homes, new
and used, purchased during 1947
(these are the latest available data)
averaged less than $4,000. Forty
per cent were obtained for less than
5000.
4 Considering these same data In
terms of family income Of persons
purchasing, we find that 81 per
cent of these homes were bought
by families with an income Of less
than 5000 annually; 80 per cent
were bought by families with yearly
incomes of less than $1,000: Here,

there's Ocean City, which is attrac-
tive because of its wide sandy beach
its surf bathing, its deep-sea fishing
and its unending variety of amuse-
ments along the boardwalk. And
in Delaware, people flock to Re-
hoboth and Bethany Beaches. Re-
hoboth, which Is more of a residen-
tial beach than Ocean City, Is pop
ular with fishermen who like surf
casting.
Virginia Beach offers ocean bath
ing, and it has the added attraction
Of an overnight boat trip on the
Norfolk and Washington Steamship
Line. You can get this boat out OF
Washington on Friday evening, get
to Virginia Beach the next morn
ing; leave the latter on Sunday eve
ming and arrive in Washington in
plenty of time on Monday to go to
work, provided the boat isn't toe
much behind schedule.
Many Prefer Mountains.
Or, If you want to stop over at q
little quieter spot, there's Old Point
Comfort, which has a very nice
hotel with good food.
But everybody doesn't like the
beach. Many people prefer the
mountains or visiting historic

places. And here again there are
unending possibilities.
Virginia Is rich with early Amer
ican history. To mention few To-
calities-you can have a very salts
factory week end by driving down
to Williamsburg, which has been
restored to conform to the life of
the early colonists.
And a trip to this historic city
wouldn't be complete without plan
ming a visit to jamestown, the scene
of the first permanent English set
tlement in America, or Yorktown,
the scene of CORVALLIS surrender.
Both jamestown and Yorktown
are within short distances of Will
liamsburg, but one should take at
least whole week end to see every
thing.
For quick listing Of few more
historical places in Virginia-there's
Wakefield, Washington's birthplace
and nearby is Stratford Hall, the
birthplace of Robert E. Lee; Month
cello. just outside of Charlottesville
where Thomas Jefferson was born;
Ash Lawn, the home of James
Monroe; Appomattox, the scene OF
Lees surrender to Grant; Mount
Vernon "a nice trip by boat or au-
tomobile); the Manassas battle
field; Leesburg, where John Brown
had his fort, and so on.
Then for those who enjoy noun
tain air-Skyline drive in the Ole
Dominion State offers a great deal
First there are several lodges that
have rustic log cabins surrounding
them in which you can obtain
lodgings. Meals can be obtained ir
the lodges.
! Well-marked mountain trails
abound for those who like to hike
or those who enjoy riding horses
The Shenandoah Valley is a para
disc for amateur photographers and
the lodges offer good meals at q
reasonable rate. Also, there are
picnic grounds where people can &C
for the day. have time to eat a
meal and still see lot of the drive.
Within hiking distance of Skyland
Lodge. the Oldest on the drive, is q
mountain stream with a beautiful
waterfall and a place to swim. And
If you have a desire to pitch a pup
tent there are camping grounds for
that.
! Another scenic drive-but q num-
ber of more miles to the south-is
the Blue Ridge Parkway. This has
an average elevation of 5000 feet
and now runs from Roanoke to 60
miles below the North Carolina
border. When it is completed it will
follow the summit of the Appa-
lachian Mountains and will connect
the Shenandoah and Great Smoky
Mountains National Parks.
Finally, for places that combine
swimming. golf, tennis and good
food, there's Woodberry Forest,
Capon Springs and Orkney Springs,
all In Virginia.
And of course there are the beau
tifully kept State parks in both
Maryland and Virginia, all Of which
provide for picnicking and most OF
which have camping facilities.

of the Armed forces can use any
of the club facilities by payment of
the fee only, and at the Prince
Georges Golf and Country Club.
Newest of them all is the Bethesda
Country Club, which was incor-
porated last November. It's men,
bers are so enthusiastic about it,
though. that 80 of them recently
volunteered to remove some crab
grass that threatened one section
of the golf course.
The total resident membership for
all these clubs Is about 5000. But
most members of all country clubs
are men and most of them have
families. The number enjoying
membership privileges then could
easily be three times this total. If
the number of guests invited to the
various clubs by members were add
ed to this figure, the total number
OF persons who enjoy country club
life-if only occasionally-would in
crease considerably.
