rent, without regard for regulations,
without regard for fair play and
without regard for the undue hard
ship that is brought to bear upon
the tenants. The tenants must eth
er pay his price or get out; and I
honestly say to you that there is
actually no place for the people to
move.
Actually, the number of vacant
houses or apartments, either con-
trOlled or uncontrolled that are
available for rent i'm the central Mi
ami Negro district, is grand total
of exactly ZERO"
In conclusion I emphatically rec
commended to the Board that it rec
ommend to the proper authorities
that rent control be maintained in
the Miami area.

DARLINGTON HEIGHTS
GRANTED BUILDING PERMIT

The builders of the proposed Lin
coin Heights, which will be Negro
Housing project in the Darlington
Heights section, have been granted
a county permit to construct the
project, with duplex homes instead
of the originally planned aunt
houses.
The town of Darlington Heights,
incorporated recently, chiefly to
block the proposed Negro project,
is located near Browns Subdivision
just east of 9th avenue. The pro-
ject is question will be located be-
tween 46th and 4Sth streets and oath
and 25th avenues.
The permit gives the ego" signal
to the builders i'm so far as the cOun-
ty is concerned, but a similar per-
init will have to be obtained from
the newly Incorporated town. Incl
dentally a suit challenging the le-
gality of the incorporation of the
town is now being prepared by at
tOrneys for opponents of the move.
In all probability, the matter will be
decided by the courts, before any ac
ttEal building is started.
The case merits the attention of
all Miami. 1t results can have far
reaching effects upon the entire
community.

Iuesday, November 2, is
election day. On that day the voters
of this country will go to the polls
in order to elect the man who will
guide the destinies of this nation
for the next four years. In addi-
tiOn to this, many other officials of
less important nature will be chosen.
Here, in the state of Florida, the
voters will be confronted with a
long ballot, one Of the longest in
history, which will include, in addi-
ton to a large number of candi-
dates, eleven amendments to the
constitution of the state Of Florida.
All of these amendments are impor-
tant and all should be voted upon
by the people next Tuesday.
In the past two weeks, have at
tempted to call attention to these
amendments i'm an effort to better
famiIiarize my readers with the pos
sibIe effects of each one. In another
article i'm this issue, similar dis
cussiOn is published. Your attention
is respectfully invited to it.
1t is vitality necessary and impor-
tant that all registered persons vote
on next Tuesday. To register and
not vote on election day, is a gross
dereliction of ones civic responsible
lities. Those persons who are reg
istered and who for any reason fai
to vote, will have no just cause to
complain if the various branches of
the government are not operated in
the manner in which they feel they
should be. The issues at stake in this
election are too important to be
taken lightly by anyone.
Remember, you may vote for
whomever you wish - but the most
important thing is BE SURE TO
VOTE ON NEXT TUESDAY.

The much discussed and eagerly
awaited public hearings on rent
control, were held on this Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, at the Ada
Merritt Junior High School. From
the very beginning, throughout the
entire course of the meetings, and
on to the end, it was quite evident
that there are large numbers of
people in this community Landlords
and rental agents) who are determ-
ined to have rent control removed
from the Miami area.
The hearings were a battle OF
wits between the landlords and the
tenants, with the Board sitting in
judgement of the two.

University Notes

For the first time since their re-
turn from France, all living mem
bers of the first University Of
Delaware Foreign Study Group
will meet next month, as they OBJ
serve the 25th anniversary of the
foreign study program.
Seven members will be on hand
for the reunion, to be held at the
home of T. Russell Turner, 2913
Franklin street. Two will come
from great distances for the Occa-
sion.
! Mr.. Turner, who is boys work
director for the Wilmington Y. M.
/ G. A, said that the other members
of the group are: DR.. David M.
DOugherty, chairman of the De-
partment of Foreign Languages,
University of Oregon, Eugene,
Ore; Herbert H. Lank, vice-pTesi-
dent, Canadian Industries, Ltd,
Montreal; William X. MendenhalI,
assistant secretary of the New
Jersey State Bankers Association,
Newark, N. j.; Austin Cooley, of
Sandy Lake. Pa; J. Winston Wal
ker, assistant principal of HaveTs-
town pa High School, and Dr..
Francis j. Cummings, executive
secretary of the Delaware Com
mission for the Blind. All except
Mr.. Cooley, a graduate of West
minister College, are graduates Of
the University of Delaware.
The eighth member of the OTi-
ginal Foreign Study Group was
Cedric Snyder, who was killed in
an automobile accident a few years
after his graduation. The director
of the group, DR.. Raymond w.
Kirkbride, also is deceased.
Although some members of the
group have met occasionally in the
past quarter-century, the August
81 meeting will be the first for all
seven members. Mr.. Turner said
that their return to the United
States from France in the summer
of 1924 was the last time all had
been together.
The pioneer Foreign Study group
sailed early in July, 1923, under
, the direction of DR.. Kirkbride, at
whose suggestion the plan was in
augUrated. T e eight students
spent a year in study at the Uni
versity of Nancy and the Univer-
sity of Paris under his supervision.
The Delaware Plan was in Oper-
alton in France from 1923 to 1899.
In 1882, it was extended to Ger
many but in 1884 the University of
Delaware withdrew sponsorship
of work in that country. The plan
also was in operation in Geneva,
Switzerland, in 1889. and after
! the close of the second World
/ War, operation Of the Junior Year
q Abroad group was resumed with
2 Geneva as a base. The Foreign
= Study Plan has been in operation
for two postwar years at Geneva,
but with the return this summer
Of the latest group, Delaware s
sponsorship of the program again
is being withdrawn because of lack
Y of a sound financial foundation.
r Dr. DOugherty, of the original
Foreign Study group, was director
Of the 1946-47 group at Geneva.
