Is Pep Minus
Pep For SaddIer

NEW YORK CITY - Global -
From the many requests from
Fans for a Saddler-Pep return
Bout and yet none scheduled it
seems as if Pops pep" must be
on the defeat side for Saddler.
Sandy, a tip top fighter in
his own right seems in the favor
Of the Public to win over Pep,
but fear must be Pops or his
Managers reason for non-co
initial on a return Bout now.
1t will be remembered that al
though Sandy Saddler lost in the
last fight with Pep, he was the
winner in the eyes of the Sport
Public because of the manner in
which the Referee handled the
Bout.
Sandy and his manager.
Charlie Johnston, stand by for
a Pep Bout under the right terms
anytime. And in the minds of
most folk when Pep loses that
fear to win over Saddler that re-
turn Bout will be scheduled.

ODDS AND ENDS
A MODEL PROJECT
BY Project Reporter

@N~f@EH<
There was a group of nurses
from the Mass. General Hospital
to visit the Village. They were
really surprised to see the con-
ditions of the well kept area and
the physical plant.
This week we also had two
newspapers to visit the Village
and take pictures Of the grounds
and also pictures OF the sur
rounding neighborhood as a
comparison.
The young people in the pro-
ject who observe all the rules
and ground regulations should
help keep the children living
outside of the development from
destroying the beauty of their
home.
The shrubbery and grass has
never been so beautiful at this
early date. Let's keep it that
way.
The stairhallS are being kept
very good. Let's keep up the
good work, tenants. The citizens
of the Village are really stick
ing out their chests. The old
Village is becoming a show
place.
Villagers, if any of you want
to plant flowers, see Mr.. Rob-
inson, the Superintendent be-
fore you start digging.
Mothers OF the Village, please
don't send your garbage out to
the incinerator by small chill
dren. They waste more on the
grounds than they put into the
Trap door.
There is always room for i'm
provement. That is why the
Management is constantly on
the look out for new ideas. There
is a big difference over the last
two years.

POLITICS
This week we can say our pre-
dictions are coming true con-
corning the city and state work
projects for this summer. There
will be the Garage under the
Boston Common and the Shaw
NUT Avenue Tunnel job under
the city and the Embankment
Road job along the Charles
River down from Charles Street
MTA station to the Boston Uni
versity Bridge. These jobs will
hire hundreds of men and will
last for two to four years under
construction and If the Federal
Housing Bill reaches the Presi-
dents desk this spring, there will
be several new projects going
up and that will also create hun
dreds OF jobs. While private in
duSSry is steadily laying of, the
State under Gov. Dever and the
City under Mayor Curley, are
taking up the slack as fast as
they can get their vast build
ing programs under way. I am
wondering if the citizenry real
ICES the financial burden the
City and State are carrying TO-
day because of the unemploy-
ment and curtailment Of big
business. The Welfare Depart
ment Is spending more money
today than it did in the worst
depression years. The real es-
tate tax ia rising because of the
failure Of the Legislature to
legislate or appropriate bills for
cities and towns to raise money
other ways such as other large
cities like Philadelphia or Cleve-
land. Regardless Of all the
handicaps, Boston with all Of its
capabilities is in its infancy and
the man to bring it in to adult

ESSAY FOR THE WEEK
Gun North"

Villagers and friends, there is
one big question I would like to
have answered and that is this.
Why is it when the majority of
the colored people migrate up
north (from the South, they
are the first to condone discrim-
nation, the the first to be an
Uncle Tom, they are the last
persons to register as voters,
they are the first to use discrim-
nation as d selfish weapon on
which they can thrive and live.
In other words, why is it that
these hundreds of people are
supposed to be escaping the
ruthlessneSS, hatred and bigotry,
where the majority of colored
people can't vote, all forms Of
Jim Grow, yet they bring it up
here with them. 1t seems to
have become a part of their be-
ing and there is very little that
can be done to rectify this con-
dition. For an example. have
heard that the National Guard
Unit at the Irving Street Arm
DRY is being held as a separate
colored regiment because GER
tain colored men are afraid of
losing their ratings. If they
are qualified, they can serve just
as well over mixed units, and by
the way these officers are from
the deep south. It seems that
the F.E.P.C. Commissioner is
fighting this battle without the
help OF the colored guardsnen
themselves exceptions are few.
There are hundreds or thous-
ands of colored people in the
south that wouldn't dare make
an attempt to vote because of
the danger of getting killed. Yet,
when they are here one year,
they become eligible and you can
hire cars to take them to reg
lister and some of them will not
take the time and enjoy the
privilege which had been de-
MED them = people are really
funny, aren't they? Take the

treats him, as if he were a two
year old. Suppose native New
