 This guy and his wife, met them again and he said, "Do you know something, the only people who got paid off was the one who organized it, his wife, and even his son got paid off. You know, that's bad stuff for anyone to be playing, especially times like these with everybody out of work, and was trying to get new tog for my wife and myself for Easter. Heck, if I had kept her dollar and my dol lar and put three more to it, we could have gave it to Harry and I could have made down payment on suit.'''
 So, he walked away and felt sorry for him. But, do you know, if I had had that dollar at the time, I think I would have been crying now too.
 Yes, the Pyramid hit Waterbury and it left the population kind of sad, but believe me when I tell you, it's taken a fast boat out of here. The exciting game now is good old pinochle and whist, back in style again.
 Of course, this is just typical of some of the phases of, the Pyramid Club, others say the Club would not have collapsed if each member had brought in two members. So, there you are, who's right ?-J. E. B.

BRIDGEPORT TheNeWs
By JOSEPH LUPES

BRIDGEPORT-ln recent weeks here there has been a sharp in crease in unemployment among Negro workers. A wave of layoffs has affected both Negro and white citizens of the city.
 A very obvious increase in the number of applicants at the Main Street unemployment insurance of flee is evident.
 Even though the 1ayoffs are very general, Negroes are suffering more keenly than others since the suspension slips are based mainly on seniority of employees.
 Before the war many companies here did not employ Negro work and large, enjoy very little senior ity.
 However, there are still many opportunities here, particularly for young men.
 One of the many opportunities the young men have here IS the privilege of becoming a member. of the Vanguard Club. which is spon- sored by the YMCA. The club was organized in May of last year in the Messiah Baptist Church. A membership of more than forty are dedicated to better service to the community. The forums which the club advertises and sponsors are real service to the general public. Most recent activity is the Vanguard survey of the number and types of jobs held by Negroes.
 Homer J. Tucker, 55 Highland Avenue, is advisor of the group. MT. Tucker heads the community services division of the YMCA.

Brightwood Play Area
improvements Sought

An all-out fight to improve
recreational facilities in the
Brightwood CN.W) area was
planned last night at the Six
teenth Street Highlands Citizens
Association meeting.
There have been no play
grounds or libraries added to
Brightwood in the 81 years I've
been here" complained Mrs. AL
bert Katz. She later told a re-
porter her son Fulton, 7. ''broke a
window today" because he lacked
p playground for rough games.
John c. White. with a delega-
ton from the Brightwood Home
and School Association, asked the
citizens for support in obtaining
a playground at Van Buren street
NV, between Luzon avenue and
Thirteenth street. He also fav-
ored having the playground Of
the BrightWood School open and
supervised during summer. A res
olution to that effect was adopted.
The citizens association went
on record in favor Of music on
streetcars and buses. It also asked
for reduced real estate taxes now
that the sales tax is in effect.
All officers were reelected with
Mr.. H. M. Dengler as president.

Negroes Form Housing
Project In Cincinnati

CINCINNATI, Ohio - (Atlas) -
A group of Negro citizens, bent on
providing better homes for them
selves, have organized the Cedar
Grove Homestead Association. The
moving spirit behind this venture
is a group of young veterans with
a membership of $50 at $500 per
member.
The Association has purchased Y
acres of land to be divided into lots
and homes at a cost of $500. Down
payments on each home will be
reasonable, and the balance will be
secured, through a FILA loan on
2O-year payment plan to be paid off
on a monthly basis.
Actual construction is expected to
start on the project as soon as con-
tractors are secured and few legal
wrinkles are ironed out.

and early in the fourth period to
hand the stubborn Benedict Tigers
a 1870 licking. Florida outplayed
Benedict in every quarter with

ground gaining.
After the half time ceremonies,
which featured the famous Florida

formed in heavy rains, the Rattlers
started their rampage. With Akin
Hepburn and Charles Leonard
handing the ball off, the sharp
Rattlers struck with great tenac-

Attempt to live beyond his means;
Such course will surely bring him

For he'll be like the bird that preens
All day while others scratch for

He does not lay a dollar by
