This Is National
Boys Club Week

The Phoe1. Boys Club, Inc,
last year had a membership of
1,505. The average daily attend
ance was 276 boys.
An analysis of activities last year
shows that Phoenix boys spent
many hours of their leisure time
in the clubs. The attendance re-
ports show the following: game
room, 45,453; athletic fields and
baseball courts, 36,091; movies
(regular) 1868; movies (educa-
tionaD, $3.50; library, 1864, show
ers, 9,677; and craft shops, 3,167.
In the Boys Club boys have op-
portunity to make things in the
Arts and Crafts classes. They try
out aptitudes on an interest basis.
These classes help to determine life
work. For many boys whose form
al education must be limited, Boys
Clubs provide the incentive and op-
portunity for self development.
The individual service and guild
ance are continuous. These lead
,ers constitute the most important
asset of a Boys Club. Often what
they say to a boy changes the
whole course of his life. They
guide boys in their behavior and
their attitudes toward family, girls,
education, employment, govern
ment, and even toward America it.
self. The boys are taught to be
tolerant and fair toward all in
dividuals and groups.
Boys Club physical training
classes and athletics meet the
needs of boys for activity and help
to build body fitness and skills.
The Boys Club affords opportu-
nifty for developing health and
physical fitness. Physical defects
are iscovered and corrected
through the boys families, or
through doctors, dentists, hospi-
tails, and other community re-
sources.
One of the important functions
of Boys Club is to occupy the
free time of boys safely. We all
know how unsafe they can be with
out such opportunity. Many boys
are attracted because they know
they can find recreation and COM
panionship in their club at any
time. This is a proven way of les
sening juvenile delinquency.
Encourage your soon to become
member of the Boys Club. He
will grow into a better citizen and
you will know he is in good whole
some company.

East Phoenix Citizens
Drafting W. Hammond
For LEGISLATURE Post

Many leading citizens of the
newly carved legislative 8, are
joining the movement to draft
Wade H. Hammond to run for the
State Legislature in the Septem-
ber primary.
Up to this time Mr.. Hammond
has not declared any intention to
make the race, however the move
ment is gaining such solid repre-
sentative support that he might
consider it a clear call of duty to
serve his people.
The committee who fostered the
idea of drafting Mr.. Wade H.
Hammond, 1921 East Washington
Street, for the legislature, met last
week, not for that specific purpose
but to discuss the best way to sue
ceed in getting a Negro in the leg
iSlature.
1t was reliably reported that
over 95 per cent of the group pres
ent favored Wade Hammond as
the most logical person to back.
It was brought out in the meet
ing that from the standpoint of
capability, and many other things
which are essential, not only to
representing the district in a cred
liable manner, but essential to win
ming the nomination as we'll, Wade
Hammond stood high above all
others considered.
The ability to get things done
seem to have been the measuring
rod with which the group selected
their candidate.
Up to this time, the Sun has been
informed that four candidates have
made known their intention of en-
tering the race. One woman, Mrs.
Lenora Fisher, Hayzel Daniels, S..
c. Boyer, and Rev. c. V. Grisson.
The number of ballots cast in
last general election in this district
were 1871.

Supervisors Formally
Approve New District

On March 9 the Maricopa Coun-
ty Board of Supervisors formally
approved the new boundaries of
the Eighth Legislative District, as
requested by the Citizens Commit
tee on Redistricting. AS finally
set, the new district comprises the
following precincts: Phoenix II, II,
4, and King 2; which will include
the area bounded by Central from
Jefferson to Van Buren Street,
East to 20th, South to Harrison,
West to Ninth Street and Jeffer-
son, back to Central Avenue on
the North side of the street. This
change makes it possible for the
first time in Arizona's history the
election of a Negro to the State
Legislature.
The action for redistricting be-
gan last November when a Com
mittee composed of citizens from
several districts requested a more
equitable redistricting. The COM
mittee was notified on March 1
that its request had been granted.
The committee consisted of:
Mrs. M. E. Copeland, Don Baldwin,
Jeff H. Durham, Mrs. Lou Miller,
Perkins Motion, Mrs. Louise Per-
kins, and Dick Turner.

tify the ailment despite a lifetime
of medical experience, he went to
the famous Mayo Clinic at Roch-

Higdon turned to the medical

a great lack of information on

that makes it battling is that the

vowed to contribute to medicine
as much as he could on the sub

for government reorganization in
Prince Georges County.
The controversial measure pro-
vides for a fulltime county COM
missioner at $500 a year and a
county purchasing bureau. 1t was
put through by the Democratic
organization over the sharp objec-
tons of independents and Re-
publicans, who demanded more
extensive home rule.
Early this week, Attorney Cen
eral Hall Hammond questioned
the constitutionality of the bill.
Gov. Lane said. however, that
Mr.. Hammond subsequently stated
the bill was intended to meet a
local emergency. A 1949 law
failed to specify the number of
commissioners to be elected this
year. Gov. Lane said that unless
he signs the Sothoron bill, the
county would wind up without any
government.

OF Federation 10 Upset
Central High Transfer

Herbert P. Leeman, president
of the Federation of Citizens
Association. said last night his
group has a plan to upset" the
transfer of Central High School
to the use of colored students.
He told the Citizens Forum Of
Columbia Heights the aim of the
Federation is to persuade mem
bers of Congress to withhold
Central High School appropria-
tons in favor of funds for a new
Junior college for white students.
Links Plan to Home Rule.
But the success of the plan
can only be temporary, Mr.. Lee
man cautioned, unless Congress
passes the Kefauver home rule
bill, which provides for an elected
Board of Education.
He said the present Board of
Education. in voting March 8
for the transfer of Central High
School, had demonstrated it's in
capacity to serve the better in
terests" of Washington.
Mr.. Leeman's remarks followed
a resolution of the citizens forum,
which condemned" the boards
action and demanded" the trans
fer be Cancelled.
In an earlier talk on the Kefau-
yer bill, Mr.. Leeman had urged
the forum not to heed "the cam
paign of fear staged by special
interests"
Bill Backed In Principle
He referred to Edward F. Cola
day. general counsel for the Board
Of Trade, as an outspoken critic
Of the bill and said Mr.. Colladay's
hostility lacks conviction. Mr..
Colladay supported home rule
when he was president of the
Federation of Citizens Association
in 1916, according to Mr.. Leeman.
The forum voted to indorse the
bill lin principle 1t also favored
