Keneipp Urged 10 Try
LiqhtIess Intersection

A busman's holiday was sug-
gested last night for Traffic Di-
rector George E. Keneipp.
Mr.. Keneipp went out to the
Northeast Council to tell the group
what is being done about traffic
problems in the area. Instead he
was told to sample one of the
traffic problems himself.
L. M. Green, delegate from the
National Gateway Citizens As
ISOLATION, suggested Mr.. Keneipp
get in his car and try the inter-
section at Eastern avenue and
Bladensburg road NE. to see how
long it would take him to get
across. Mr.. Keneipp had ex-
planned a traffic count was taken
at that intersection and the re-
suits did not justify the install
lation of a traffic light.
II took my own traffic count, y
Mr.. Green. A light is
needed there, so youd d better take
another count" Mr.. Keneipp
managed to persuade Mr.. Green
that four-way intersections should
take precedence over the three
way intersection at Bladensburg
road and Eastern avenue.

CYO Holds 18th Tournament
In Chicago the Catholic Youth
organization is holding it's 10th
amateur boxing tournament.
Hundreds Of ambitious boys, Gath
olics and mont Catholics, colored
and white, are participating.
Every night at the CYO gym
nasium, capacity crowds are jam
ing the house to see action. Boys
and young men in this tourna-
ment come from all parts of
Chicago plus surrounding areas
including the Great Lakes naval
training center.
Several young fighters have
graduated from the CYO into the
top ranks of boxing including
Tony Zale, who now heads the
organizations boxing department,
and Freddie Dawson.
Throughout the city the CYO
has a year-round training program
for boxers in local centers. The
organization does not claim to pre-
pare young men for professional
careers inthe ring, but concent-
rates on teaching them clean com
petition and good craftsmanship
Another feature of the program
is the safety cautions taken for
the health of the fighters. There
has never been a fatality in a
CYO tournament. Lou Radzienda,
former director of the boxing
program before being appointed

to the Illinois Athletic commission,
has carried out the same theories
for the commission.
Finals for the CYO tournament
will be held Dec. 2 at the Chicago
stadium. Local arenas have agreed
to run no professional bouts on
that particular night. This tourna-
ment has been approved by the
Illinois Athletic commission, and
better still, it has been approved
by the public.

Selling the Negro Short
Too long have the press and
stage sold the Negro short IN the
curb of public opinion, it is re-
grettable that anybody should sell
the Negro short and it becomes
tragic to see Negroes selling them
selves short, and at times for a
small mess of pottage we sell the
birthright of the race. When
whites would sell us short we
rave and weep and gnash the
teeth and cry murder; but too
often when Negroes sell Negroes
short, we treat the matter as some
thing funny.
Recently Anna Lucasta, a comedy
from broadway, came to Richmond
for a one nights stand. It was
time to appear during the state
meeting of the teachers associa-
ton when some 5000 Negro
teachers from distant parts of the
state would be present for the Of
fering. The occasion distant parts
Of the state would be present for
the offering. The occasion was
ripe for a presentation of some
thing ennobling and inspiring.
There was an opportunity to give
the race a lift. Instead we were
treated to a fine cast, with a We
hicle for it's talents that did not
convey what was most inspiring.
Anna Lucasta was bubbling over
with profanity. What made matters
worse, the play had some skillful
lines and passages that would Of
themselves have produced whole
some amusement for the delight
Of the fine audience that was on
hand.
But instead of letting we'll
enough alone in the matter of
amusing the audience, the char
acters poured on more and more
profanity which after a few jerks
became boresome and disgusting.
Of course the crowd laughed.
They did when Jesus was hanging
on the cross. This scribe does not
blame the crowd for laughing;
but he does blame people who
ought to know better for selling
the crowd and the Negro short.
Because the screen and stage and
the press have so long sold the
Negro short, people have come to
expect it, but our producers seem
to lose sight of the fact that an
other day has dawned. When
whites sell Negroes short it is as
understandable as it is deplorable
but when Negroes do the same it
becomes calamitous.
It is not necessary now to take
to the gutter to amuse or inform
the public that Negro talent has
arrived. It must not be thought
for q moment that the play and
cast themselves are not meritorius

Money to Spurn
The times are few and far be-
tween when Mississippi can be
favorably heard from on the
matter of race relations. The
shadows of Bilbo hang about this
curse-ridden state like a pail of
wickedness about Sodom and
Gomorroh of ancient days. Now
comes the highly dramatic news
that a little bankrupt school, JEFF
ferson Military college, has re-
fused $50,O0O,O 900 rather then &C
cept the donors dictum to teach
the fallacious doctrines of white
supremacy. If anything were
needed to prove the world is get
ting better we have it in this his
toric refusal. When the honorable
trustees Of Jefferson refused $780,
100000 in the hour of extremity
it is sufficient proof that princi-
pie stands pretty high on their
schedule of values.
If this a be done in Mississi-
ppi, it can be done anywhere for
long has Mississippi and Georgia
been known or looked upon as
the Galilee of the South or the
Nazareth thereof. But Georgia re-
fuses to vote Dixiecratic and now

Jefferson college refuses to bend
the knee to the Ball of the dollar,
it becomes a blessing to all man.
kind, Jefferson college could we'll
close it's doors, for in it's refusal
of a sinking fortune, it sets an
example of righteousness that is

Pork Season

The season Of the year for fresh
pork is with US again and pigs
are plentiful. Because of the
uniform age Of slaughterinp and
greater uniformity in type Of ami

quality in pork than any other

Pork of poor quality is deep and
red in color, has little fat, and is
soft and flabby. Pork may be
sold either fresh or cured. II not
used as fresh meat, it is cured,
smoked, rendered into lard or
made into sausage.
Ham is one of the most impor-
tant cuts Of pork. It is usually
cured, smoked and sold for bak-
ing, frying, or broiling. Fresh
or cured hams may be sold as

Impulse We. Plan

F~ eDS - . e>eAA
Shopping by impulse is an ideal
way to get poor returns for the
money, time and effort spent at
the grocery store, food economists
of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture remind housewives. The
impulse shopper" goes to mar
ket without planning menus and
shopping list ahead. and when
there, tries to remember what she
needs or decide what she wants.
The result is likely to be forgot
ten items and thus return trips to
market, mistakes like buying too
little or too much, and especial
ly purchasing extras which may
not be used or high cost Injuries
which bulge the budget. The inn
pulse shopper buys what appeals
to her at the moment rather than
what her family needs and what
fits her pocketbook.
A little pencil and paper work
at home can save money, time
and effort especially at this busy
holiday season. A market list
in hand rather than in the head
makes for efficient and easy shop
ping. Make a general plan for
menus for few days ahead, de-
