OUR SCHOOLS

Our schools continue to be crowded. The children
Just and come Less than year ago twenty new
class added to the Dorsey High School, It did
not take long to fill these and the principal of this
school tells us his school is overcrowded Something will
have to be done If correct Dorsey school does not
figure in the building program before the year 1853 Just
how to with this situation matter for the Board
of Public instruction to decide.
Speaking of Dorsey School, we have been informed
that four of the 20 classes built less than year
are in bad shape This is somewhat surprising Can it be
faulty construction Will the contractors for this Job be
called in to make good?
Plans for the George Washington High School
appeared in the Miami Herald Sunday This 5000 900
building is to be started early possible and NAV be
ready for occupancy during 1851.
1t is generally known that there are two sums of
money which have been available for improvements in
Negro schools for sometimes The larger sum was an ap-
preparation for the Phyllis Wheatey School, This amount
was not enough to carry out the program so not
spent.
Before the last bonds were voted upon we attended
meeting at the office of the school board when the bonds
Were discussed This appropriation for Phyllis Wheatley
was also discussed and understanding that the
money would be used improvements at the Booker T.
Washington High School.
Apparently this will not be done as the Board is seek
ing permission to the money for White school build
ings in another section of the city.
Should not this money be used on Negro schools as il
was set aside for that purpose?

On Monday the United States Supreme Court hand-

mousy decided to send appeal case back to Talahas
for reconsideration without hearing the argument
of counsel.
The case is against the City of Miami. Negroes
claim the right play golf the Miami Springs Munich

them this right and assigned them day week-Mon-
day.
They protested and took the to the Circuit court
but it. An appeal then made to the Supreme Court
of Florida but this court upheld the decision of the Cir
cult Court.
Feeling that they had strong the two young
Negro lawyers suggested taking the to the Supreme
Court of the United States
An appeal for funds made and the case went be-
fore the higher court. Money is still needed.
The high court ordered the Florida Supreme Court
reconsider the in the light of the Negro education
cases decided by the Supreme Court last June.
This is great victory not only for these young law

The storm that had been dilly-
dallying in the West Indies last
week came to Florida's lower east
lcoast Tuesday night and raised
= sand! Many electric lines in
Miami fell, putting some bust
nesses to a standstill, and sending
ing the housewife a-hunting for
the ancient nights" - the candle
and lamps! Millions of dollars Of
damage was done, but it was not
altogether an i'll wind; for some
people who have not been on a
payroll for months are drawing
1 'omething this week!
1 BX far the greatest number OF
sufferers from the wreckage OF
the storm are GI's who purchased
homes in new housing projects.
The roofs of many of the houses
were U4OWu O4 QAA0 VAC AAAA-<NS~S
and their belongings left to the
untender mercieS of the elements.
While some of the powers-that-be
see the destruction as an "act of
God" people are wondering If
somebody had not Numbered in
the construction of the homes.
They point to the fact that many
of the little houses marked for
condemnation last summer, stood
the storm without the loss Of an
inch of roof paper.
, Whoever, or whatever is re-
sponsible for the destruction, the
CPS face the same bad situation.
Maybe in the future those in au-
thority would give more thought
to human safety and protection.
Maybe the old saying, Hurry -hur-
ry spoils dance" is still true.
AS a boy, this Finger had a
crazy fondness for storms. But
something happened and - well

Storms have way of showing
how helpless we are in the hands

JUST BROWSIN'

Tusday we had quite a storm,
not a storm either, but severe
hurricane. The wind blew more
than 1870 miles an hour. Some
houses were unroofed, plate glass
smashed and scattered. wires
torn down, power off, trees up
rooted and damages to property,
citrus fruit, etc, estimated at
$1O,000,0 900.
Damage to new houses at
Bunche Park was heavy. People

Tuesday was also election day.
There were IL candidates running
for the office of constable for the
Second District. The vote was

Wood, 624, rather close. You go

night suspended Sheriff Jimmy
Sullivan.
Tuesday night President Harry
Truman went on the air asking

telling Russia this country "will
tolerate no further aggression"
That's laying the cards on the

Dropo, a Flop With Red Sox.
In 7o4o, Makes Good in Hurry
BY me Assoeiatsd Press

BOSTON, May 4.-Exactly 367
days ago, big Walt Dropo was
shunted out of Fenway Park for
his $50 hitting. The Red Sox
braintrusters sadly agreed that
he wasn't ready for major league
pitching.
The 6-foot 5-inch giant, one of
the University of Connecticut's
all-time athletic greats, also was
a football star. He was the Chi
oago Bears first draft choice a
couple Of years ago. Now, after
two games for the Red Sox he is
betting a perfect 1000 clip with
four hits and as many bases on
balls.
Dropo can thank his unexpected
promotion to the Clipped ankle
First Baseman Billy Goodman suf-
fered here Sunday in q game
against the Athletics.
Big Walt. despite too little
minor league preparation, was
hailed as another Jimmy Foxx
year ago after he battered down
most Of the Florida training camp
fences. Manager Joe. Mccarthy
was so thrilled by his long-range
clouting that he vowed: "I,ll open
the season with him on first base" I"
And Mccarthy did just that.
But his admiration for big Walt
soon faded. For the eager young

Until replaced by Goodman,
Dropo managed to get only six
hits out of his 40 turns at bat
and Mccarthy gave up on him
after watching him fail to con-
meet his last II times at the plate.
So Dropo was shipped of to Sac
ramento in the Pacific Coast
League on option. And even in
that hitters' paradise he was far
from impressive, for he batted

thing resembling a first baseman

been called up to train with the

Big Walt, often miscalled Drop-o
instead Of Dro-po, credits patient
