The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1948-12-29

CHICAGO, Ill. = (ANP) = The
special drive launched by city and
county officials against landlords
who milk" slum property for high
rents but fail to pay real estate
taxes, which initially corralled two
tenement building housing Ne
groes on the south side, has
brought Mayor Kennedy into the
picture.
Appearing before a hearing on
seven-story tenement in County
Judge Edmund X. Jarecki's court
last week, Mayor Kennedy vowed
that more stringent enforcement
of city housing and building or
dinances" would be the order Of
the day to correct substandard
living conditions.
'This is a sad commentary on
our system of both tax collection
and code enforcement" Kennedy
said. "Our average home owner
must keep up his little piece of
property or the inspectors will
step in. 1t is not fair to hose
who are doing their duty.
1--WE must work out a system
for forcing payment of taxes and
compliance with the code. We
intend to follow this inspection
business up. This is only one
instance, and am going to see
to it that the inspection laws
are enforced for similar pieces
of property"
The property in question is the
tenement housing 45O Negroes and
owned by Daniel Gaines, Negro
policy and juke box operator, who
is said to be buying the building
on contract. In the building and
housing court, Municipal Judge
Erwin j. Haston levied the third
round of fines against Gaines and
his fellow operators for seven
housing and building violations.
Gaines was fined 5000 and $40
cost, marking the third time in
a week and half that he has
paid a fine of this amount. Earlier
he had paid a S25 fine for another
violation on the same property.
Also fined like amounts was
Wilbur Mcneil, also Negro, who
is Gaines rent agent. Mcneil
was not in court, but his appear

from Americans. When other meth

peat the alphabeth and If "Z' is

Colored Leaders In Windsor
Perhaps one of the best known
colored Canadians in Windsor and
throughout the whole country is
Elder c. l.. Morton, pastor of the
Church of God. Elder Morton has
broadcast over the radio station
CKLW for over 10 years. He has
large religious following of both
races.
During his annual baptism SER
vices in the Detroit River on the
Canadian side, thousands of per-
sons come to Windsor by train,
cars and chartered buses, from
as far away as New York and
Pennsylvania. His broadcasts are
heard twice weekly, Wednesday
at 1870 "a m. and Sundays at
800 p. m. over radio station
CKLW, here. Many white Canad-
ians worship at Elder Morton's
church.
The Windsor arena is used for
services on the first Sunday in
June to accommodate the big con-
gregation this is the annual
baptismal day.
Among the colored physicians in
Windsor, Dr. r. T. Chatters tops
the list. His patients are both
colored and white. You will find
his waiting room full most of
the time.
The leading dentist is DR.. B.
Perry. He has the same type of
clientele, and in his waiting room
as many whites sit as colored.
If you have a subject concern
ing Canada which you wish to
see discussed, please address it
to me at 1927 Chene ST., Detroit

FRIENDS OF
The DANCE

midas greatest dancer, Shankar
will bring his famous two-hour mo-
ton picture, ''Kalpana," to Sc
attic next week on his tour of
the United States.
1t will be shown under Uni
versity of Washington auspices
in Meany Hall, next Thursday
evening, January at $3.50 p. m.
The general public will be well
come.
Since his arrival in New York
this fall, Shankar has been re-
ceived with high critical acclaim
for the movie about India, which
is told largely in dance. There
are so dance sequences, all
sticking closely to India's dance
traditions.
A protege of Anna Pavlova,
Shankar danced in Seattle several
years ago. Since then he has
been engaged in crusade to re-
mind India of its own ancient
dances. The prodigious picture
that he will bring here next
week is part of that crusade.
Partly photographed in theme,
the film tells the story of a young
mans struggles to help his coun-
trymen learn about the glories
of India.
Co-sponsors with the Univer-
sity's Adult Education Department
for the unusual movie and the
presentation of Shankar himself,
will be the Seattle Art Museum
and The Friends of the Dance.
Tickets, all at rs cents, are
available from Sherman Clay or
the University Book Store.

PrejudIces in Canada

Prejudices in Canada
Here In Windsor, there is not
much social prejudice to be found,
but plenty Of economic biasness.
While the colored Canadians or
Americans will be Accommodated at
most any of the eating establish
ments or hotels in the downtown
area of the city, finding employ
ment is different. The white collar
and clerical jobs are taken by
the white Canadians; thus, do
nestle jobs are left to Negroes.
| recall one case of bias in a
Windsor downtown restaurant dur
ing the war when a colored Can
adian was refused service. The
Windsor daily newspaper carried
front page story about the in
cident, and hundred of white Can
adams felt that it was a blot
on democracy in Canada, but 1t
appeared that there wasn't any
law to force such service, after

Christmas in Canada
Christmas in Canada is celebra-
ted differently than in the u. s.
December 26 is also a holiday
here. The day after Christmas
is known as "Boxing-day" = when
Canadians visit their friends and
exchange presents. Christmas day
is mainly a family celebration.
Believe it or not, Thanksgiving
come in August here. During the
year they celebrate number of
holidays that we do not have.
Oddities in the dominion include
mail boxes. They are red in color
and look like the American fire
department boxes. Instead of pull
ling the flap down to mail a
letter, the Canadians have to lift
up the cover to place mail in
them.
Their paper dollar bills are
much larger than ours.
In the Canadian alphabet the

is how the law enforcement agen.
