Lure of the Sea .
Prize Contribution
By Eileen Ederen, Ia

Blodensburs High School
The green of the sea is never still,
It's billows are never asleep,
And the men. who sail DER its
restless swell
Are prisoners of the deep.
For once they sail on the emerald
breast,
And travel afar on her tide,
They cannot escape her magical
spell
No matter how they hide.

In a cool, green garden,

Just after the rain has fallen,
There's a damp, sweet smell
On the trees and plants
And the birds begin their calm
The walks are wet
And the trees still drip
AS the sun shines out once more.
The clouds drift away
Like the drapes on a stage,
Leaving the world like an opened

Winnipeg Refugees
Increase 10 $4,000
As Flood Continues
BY the Associated Press

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, May IS.
The number of refugees fleeing
from this f1ood-menaced prairie
metropolis rose today to nearly
rs, 0O0-about one-fifth the popu-
lation of greater Winnipeg.
Canadian officials said the
evacuation. mainly of women and
children, would be speeded up to
ease the problem of supplying
food and utility services to weary
f1ood-f1ghters in the water logged
city.
The swollen Red River-which
already has inundated 6 square
miles of Winnipeg and it's sub
urban areas-held fairly steady
all day yesterday at 30,2 feet
depth, IL feet above flood level.
The flood crest surging northward
from Minnesota and North Dakota
borders was expected here to-.
morrow.
French City Evacuated.
Latest section to be evacuated
was the French-speaking sister
city of st. Boniface, directly
across the Red River from Winni-
peg. About 5000 women and
children left the city of $4,000 late
yesterday afternoon and last night
in response to a precautionary
appeal.
Flood control officials felt con-
Germ about holding the giant Z
mile dixie around St. Boniface and
its Norwood subsurb. Officials said
thousands of homes in the area
would be fooded-some to second
story level in less than two hours
if the high wall of sandbags
gave away.
Canadian Army officials direct
ing the flood fight first ordered
every one to leave St. Boniface,
but later amended the order to
require evacuation only of women
with children.
Plans Made for Sudden Rain.
O1nc1alS expect the hood crest,
when it hits, will raise the level
on the bikes about another foot.
Plans have been drafted for
mass evacuation of all residents
if sudden rain should cause more
severe flooding and greater danger
to the city.
More than $40 square miles of
Southern Manitoba. including a
dozen towns between Winnipeg
and the United States border,
have been inundated by the worst
flood in over century. Flood
control authorities say that even
if the bikes continue to stave off
flooding of the main sections of
Winnipeg. it will be weeks before
life gets back to normal. q

Spectacular Coins
Mode BY Negro
Since Yeor 1910

Chicago, m.-Spectacular ad-
vances by the American Negro
during the past 10 years-from
employment and income TO health
and schooling-will be revealed in
the 1850 census.
The Negro has gained rs mil
lion in population since 1910 and
exceeds the IS million mark In
total numbers now.
The most notable advance has
been in schooling, with "a out of
every rs Negroes between II and
"a able to read and write and the
number Of high school graduates
doubled in 10 years.
The number Of Negro executives
has doubled in the past decade, as
has the number Of Negroes hold
ing sales and clerical jobs.
The average income has nearly
tripled from $500 TO current fig
ure Of $1400.
These figures are revealed by
DR.. Joseph r. Houchins, specialist
in Negro statistics in the Bureau
of the Census, in an article in the
current issue Of Ebony, the Negro
picture magazine.
Taking an advance peek" at
the 1850 census, which is due to
get underway April 1, DR.. Hou-
chins declares that the 1850 CEN
sus will be a real source Of ella
ton for Negroes everywhere"
Ebony finds the figures "a rosy,
heartening picture that in con-
crete figures spells out the rising
stature Of the Negro on the ma
tional scene. All the remarkable
wartime and postwar advances Of
the Negro will show up in the 1850
census to reflect the greatest pro-
gress Of colored America in any
single decade"
