beinq somewhat of a character
on the occasion which marks es-
peciallY the year 1850. It's the
end of the first half, of the goth
century and Mr.. Segal presumes
to notice himself as one who has
had something to do with it.
He has lived all through that
time, lived even before the year
1900 when it all began. When he
says that he has had something
to do with it he doesn't mean
that he was in it's management.
He was just one Of the many
little guys who were in it. He re-
members the eve Of Jan. l. 1900.
He was babY-sitter for his young
est brother. age 2 then. His par
ents were celebrating the advent
of the goth century at the home
of some friends.
That's how the goth century
began for him. In the ensuing
so years he went through school,
was married and in most of the
time was absorbed in the project
of bringing up family and to-
ward the end receiving the re-
ward of grandchildren.
You see. Mr.. Segal really was
of no great shakes in the first
half of the goth century - only
one of the many who lived their
modest lives and dreamed pleas
antlY Of their children's future
and hoped everything would turn
out for the best.
In the earlier part of the first
half he was an inhabitant of an
untroubled world. If, on the eve
of Jan. l, 1900 he looked in to the
future at all, his meditations had
to do only with his own destiny.
There were no problems of the
whole earth to worry him.
The future had to do only with
himself and getting a suitable
Job when the time came. That
wasn't much to worry him. When
the time came he would find a
place in the city in which to earn
his living. That was a period
when Jewish boy could feel no
hindrances encumbering his feet
when he started to climb on
ward and upward.
Young Segal wasn't made to
feel then that he was somebody
different because of his being a

Liberia Sends
Bananas To u. S.

MONROVlA - The first ship
ment of bananas from Liberia was
sent to New Orleans last week.
The shipment was an experiment.
The Mississippi Delta Steamship
Company through its president,

Liberia along with Japan Trippe,
president of Pan-American Com

ranged for the shipment to the
United States free of transporta-

Liberia has never shipped ba-
fanas or mangoes or the super
delicious bananas which she grows
to the United States or to foreign
trade because there are no re-

eager to sign a contract to fight
Charley Fusari, battle for the title.
Fusari is the lad who recently
was pinning Rocky Graziano's ears
back until he ran a foul of a left
hook in the ninth. Exit Charley
whose jaw contains too much glass
for a champion.
Charley can box, he can hit and
he's dead game but he can't absorb
a punch too well.
Robinson probably will take more
punishment in making the welter-
weight limit than he ever will from
Fusari. And yet Fusari is about
as good welter as we have around
outside the champion.
However,, this is mere detail
for Robinson whose real objective
is a crack at. Jake LaMotta's mid
dleweight throne. Ray already has
licked La Motta four times and
there isn't the shadow of doubt but
what he can do it again.
If and when Robinson wins the
middleweight title he will try to
put on few pounds and take on
Ezzard Charles for the heavy
weight title.
