cafeteria But of the worst situations at this school is
the library it is altogether too small and this works
hardship upon students We have been informed that
books ordered last year still unpacked because there
is absolutely no place to put them.
The Board of Public Instruction, told, has
plans for addition to the building where suitable Ii
bray be placed If this the the quicker this
Improvement is made, the better.
1t is unfair to the students at Washington to. deny

That's too bad, and appealing to parents

There is only one term of court an

ANOTHER BARRIER TO
MODERN ADVANCEMENT

What may be regarded as anoth-
er barrier to modern advancement
and expansion, is a move being
planned by White resident in the
northwest section, to prevent the
development OF modern Negro sub
division, in that area. This time the
scene changes to Opa Locka, a fast
developing northwest Dade COM
munity, where a mammoth housing
project has been planned for Negro
occupancy. Many liberal minded
people regard the move as a great
step toward the solution of the over
crowdedness now prevalent in the
downtown Negro section of Miami.
Several hundred modern housing
units are planned for project, and
many people are happy to know that
the plan has been completed and is
about to be put into effect.
But much to the surprise of some
of us, group of White residents
who live not very far from the pro-
posed project. has plans already un-
der-way to prevent the building of
the homes and stop the project i'm
general. Their argument is the same
old story - lit would cause a gem
eral drop i'm property value i'm that
area" ut would block off Opa
LOcka to the NORTH" and prevent
expansion of the city. And so it goes,
the same old story by the same old
method, all designed to accomplish
the same old results which is to
prevent decent homes from being

0. L. Nickerson
Bv ARLINGTON SANDS

Who is o. l.. Nickerson? Why has
he entered the City Commission
race? These two questions have been
repeatedly asked since Mr.. Nlcker-
son announced his candidacy.
While we have known Mr.. Nick
erson for more than ten years, we
find him a character difficult to des-
cribe. He is no scholar, he is a
plain everyday citizen. He shares
many of the short comings of an
average citizen. He knows the
peoples troubles for he shares with
them the plight of injustice and
mistreatment.
There isn't anything dramatic
about his life he has lived simple
life - devoid of sensation and dis
turbance. He is a married man with
family of two children. He is a
working man with an acceptable
high calibre. He is a Christian man,
- a deacon in his church. He is a
life long residence of Florida and
has lived in the city Of Miami for
nearly twenty years. He is not
known as well as he should be for
he has been the type that shy pub
! licity. He is a fighter. A charter
member of the Laundry Workers
Union and has manifested much civ
ic interest.
Mr.. Nickerson wants for himself
and his race new opportunities and
| justice. He is tired of the manner
in which the Negro section has been
neglected. He dreams of a fair deaf
and a Negro on the City Council.
| who knows the peoples troubles
and will try to correct them. To
this end he has been willing to make
should there be any.
He doesn't claim to be the best
fitted Negro for the job, his only
| claim is that he is the only Negro,
, willing to run the risk of being
candidate (Mr. Nickerson accepted
the call to run after more than a
half dozen so called leaders refused).
In running, Mr.. Nickerson has three
detectives: First is to be elected.
Second to stimulate and encourage
a large Negro vote in November.
| Third to arouse the Community con-
scious to the negligence and injus-
tice of the Negro.
| Mr.. Nickerson certainly believes
that the time is right to elect a, Ne
gro to the City Council and with an
increase in Negro registration and
a growing number of fair minded
White that a Negro sooner or later
will be elected to the Miami City
Council. Mr.. Nickerson has entered
| this race because others have refuS-
ed and he is the sort of fellow that
never refused a call to a worthy
cause. When facsacims threatened
the peace of the world he volunteer
ed his service in the defense of our
great country. He comes forth 1ow
as challenge to our democratic
| conceptions.
