ESSAY FOR THE WEEK
OUR CHILDREN

Yes, they are our children,
good or otherwise. Just what
are we doing to keep and protect
them from the many tempta-
tons and sinful pleasures. What
are We doing to keep our chill
dren from forming into She little
gangs of thieves, robbers, van
dals and destroying other
peoples property. We are OF the
opinion that several mothers
and fathers are doing little or
nothing at all and soon your
child will be in juvenile court
end from there to criminal co1rt
with a police record that Will
always hang over his name
throughout his life. We have
found so many of the boys with
Smug and heroic attitudes and
boasting on their accomplish
mentS in the smooth way that
they operate. Yes, right here in
the project as in any other
neighborhood, we have some
young fellows that need straight
ening ening out at once. You
can only get away with so much,
then drastic steps must be taken.
Mothers, you should call your
son or daughter in to council
and inquire Just whom they are
associating with. Maybe you
are out working all day and
never have time to check on
your child, well, all we can do
is give you home good advice. A
neglected child is a child that
Is in great danger because he
doesn't have a schedule to fol-
low and after school while you
are at work he or she goes
places and does things that
would not meet with your ap-

PLAN A VS.. PLAN E

Well Villagers, the reporter
only has one thing to say about
this fight between the two plans.
Plan E takes away my right to
vote for one man as mayor of
this great city. That right is
guaranteed me in the Constitu-
ton. Also too many Of my col
ored sisters and brothers have
given their lives in the south be-
cause they wanted to exercise
their rights as any other citizen
to vote. The colored mans sal
walton lies in his political power,
so why should Igive up my right
to vote when my forefathers
down to the present generation
fought and are still fighting for
millions of colored people to
vote. / can see Boston, New
York, Chicago, Cleveland, Phila-
delphia and next the White
House and brother we will have
lost a hundred years Of our gal
liant fight for equal citizenship
through voting. o yes, Plan A.
this is the plan for every work
ing man, the little fellow. I'm
for Plan A because IT stands for
@Alln the people and not for just
a Few" and it doesn't take away
my right to vote for the Mayor
of Boston.

prevail. The sad thing about
this, you mothers and fathers
never find this out until it is too
late. We have found several
young people to be out of school
or weeks before The parent finds
out. When this happens, they
ave usually found something
-lore thrilling or glamorous to
take the place of the drab school
life. There is much going on
that there will be a special eff
fort put forth by the police de-
partment to break up these
gangs of boys that are doing
every thing they can to worry
and cause their parents so much
unnecessary trouble. Mothers
and fathers, we realize the agony
and trials that you have in CIV
ing birth and rearing your chill
dren to man and womanhood.
The long years of patience you
have given, as an artist puts
months Of hard, tedious and
delicate work into a master
painting and within two minutes
-
1t is ruined by negligence or
carelessaess. Mothers and faith
ers, these are our children. Don't
let them 6feak our hearts-let's
DO something today.

TAM CLUB

Villagers, you really missed a
treat last Saturday afternoon
when the Tam Club had their
box supper in the social hall.
AS we told you before, the age
group in this club is from 7 to
II years and we want every one
TO help them. Well If you could
have seen the girls looking so
cute and acting like little ladies,
you would have felt proud. Each
one auctioned their box and
some carried their bids as high
as five dollars. Mrs. Jones let
them run the entire proceedings.
They also had a musical pro-
gram. It was a financial sue
cess and every one had a Won
derful time. We wish to thank
Mrs. Ruth Woods, Mrs. Mary
Allen and Mrs, Gladys Miles for
encouraging the babies of the
Recreation program. Their next
project will be big Pie Sale.
So when they come around to
take orders, won't you help them
out. Again we say, you really
missed an enjoyable afternoon.

DEVELOPING OBSERVATION

Take little excursions to interest
ing places. Perhaps the whole family
can go, or you may wish to take a
small group of children. Be interest
ed in what you see, and answer
questions carefully. This is an ex-
cellent way to increase background
experience. and also vocabulary.
Do not be afraid to use correct
terms for what you explain. 1t is
not necessary to talk down to child
rem. If you fear being too technical,
watch and stop the instant he begins
to lose interest, He will pick up much
more general information than you
realize, and will add number of
new words to his vocabulary. And
it will be merely incidental to a very
good time.
Never feel that you do not know
enough to answer your offsprings
questions. Just tell him that you do
not know, and that you will find out
together. Perhaps you have books
at home in which to look for the in
formation. Or perhaps a trip to the

Have You a New
First Grader
Beginning School
This Fall?.

Is your child going to enter the
First Grade this fall? And have you
heard the teachers use that strange
word readiness" especially
reading readiness? Do you wonder
if your child is ready?
Being ready for First Grade
means having an all-round maturity
for a six-year-old. 1t includes physi-
cal development, background of
experiences of various sorts, a IA
miliarity with and love for books,
an ability to work in groups with
other children, and desire to learn
things out Of books. This last kind
of readiness is reading readiness.
1t is very important to the First
Grader, and essential to his readi
ness for the entire new school eX-
perience.

tative assembly, through it's COM
mittee Of ministers, voted last week
not to discuss the topic of human

Although the foreign ministers of

that only Great Britain, Ireland, and
France, and possibly one other ma
ton voted for discussion of human
rights.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Can you help your child to be
ready for his new life? Indeed, yes.
There are many little ways even
between now and September in
which you can help him, and most
of the ways can continue after he
enters school. Even older elemen-
tary children can be helped in these
ways.
Let him carry oral messages for
you very simple ones at first.
Send him after things and let him
Whatever he does, tell him very
carefully and clearly what you ex-
pect before he starts, and be sure
that he understands. Then expect
him to carry through independently,
and praise him happily for what he
does. How much further we all can
go when honestly praised!

regular tasks about the house for

feel that he is a part of the family
group because he, too, is taking his
share of responsibility Unless every
member of the household fulfills his
responsibility, something will be
lacking. The full cooperation of
every single one is necessary.
OF course, care must be taken
that the tasks assigned to a little
child are not too difficult or burden
some, and that he understands
clearly what is expected of him.
Adults often assume that a child
knows what is wanted when he has
no way of knowing.
We must also be careful not to
form the habit of repeating needless
ly. That makes child inattentive.
If possible, give him some freedom

Figures To Be SeIIout

With the White reserved section
sold out, boxes and reserved grand
stand, for the opening of the Miami
Stadium on August 81, there still

seats available in the Negro section.

reserved grandstand seats at 81 are
moving fast at the branch ticket Of
flee operated by Charles c.. North

The Negro section must be filled
to capacity if the decision of the
Miami Stadium to set aside ade-
quate Accommodations for Negro fans
is indicated. The section will ac-
comodate more than 1000 Negro
fans in reserved seats and boxes.
In the early ticket sales there was
a spirited demand for box seats. AS
space in the box section diminished
reservations increased in the grand
stand, North observed. The majority
of the box seats were purchased in
blocs of six seats to a box, indicating
that many civic and sports leaders
fthe Negro community will attend
the stadium inaugural in group par
ties.
Bleacher seats, numbering 1000,
will go on sale the day of the stdi-
UNI opener at "a cents.
For those who are unable to at
tend the stadium dedication when

vana. On this night, the Speed Sox
will play the second anne of their
series with the Cubans.

senting organizations in attendance.
This should provide an opportunity
for clubs and societies to attend in
groups with identifying banners. On
this night, the Sun SoX open a two
game series with the Tampa Smok-
ers.
Saturday has been designated as
