decided he liked the alligator
and the 'possum better than
the boy. He named the pos
sum Pogo and promoted him
to the starring role, advanced
the alligator to a more i'm
portant part as Albert and
fired BumbaZine.
Pogo made its debut as a
daily strip in the Short-livcd
New York Star. When tho

ceived hundreds of letters
demanding that the comic be
published in one of the other
New York dailieS. He took the
letters and samples OF the
strip to Robert M. Hall. pres
ident of the PoSt-Hall Syndi-
cate, Inc. Mr.. Hall persuaded
the New York Post to carry
the comic and began trying
to sell it to papers in other
cities.
Now Mr., Kelly's weekly in
come from the daily and Sun
day feature alone is III four
figures and he still does three
comic magazines year and
considerable commercial art
work. Also, a collection OF
his daily strips recently was
published in book form.
Mr.. Kelly is tall. dark and
good looking, with brown
eyes. black hair and match

Walt Kelly was born in
Philadelphia in 1913 and the
family moved to Bridgeport.
Conn, about two years later.
In high school. he was aSSoci-
ate editor of the student
newspaper and illustrator Of
the yearbook. His first job
was wrapping bundles of
scrap cloth in an underwear
factory; the next, smashing
faulty switches in an cleo
trical appliance plant. He
also worked as a clerk in an
artists supply store and as
a public welfare investigator.
MIR. Kelly entered neWspa-
per work as a reporter in
Bridgeport, but soon turned
to cartooning. He tried free

lately are only a test.
Cartoonist Kelly, it seems,

complex in relation to the

of those people know that
Pogo and his pals are drawn

you could sign any name to

ever notice it,
That's why Pogo has been

AKA Sorority Meets With Board
Members OF Haven School

On the night of November q,
a committee of Alpha Kappa
women, composed of the Messrs.
Dorothy Edwards, M j ! d r e d
Marks, Gussie DobbS, Annabelle
Ward, Rose Stewart, and Miss
Paula Williams, met at the Ply
sicians Building on North Bay
shore Drive, with some of the
members of the Executive Board
of Haven School. They discussed
with the board members, DR.. Jean
Perdue, Mr.. John McCudden,
Earle B. Bowser, Mrs. Nathaniel
Levin and DR.. Jess Spirer, the
possibilities of establishing unit
at Haven School for Negro child
rem.
Haven School for the mentally
handicapped children was found
ed by this profit corporation,
and has been operating for a little
over a year. The effort started
about four years ago and continu-
ed by begging, borrowing and
stealing" and with "blood, sweat
and tears" Labor, blocks, time,
plumbing equipment, electrical
supplies, lumber, and many other
materials and helps were donat-
ed. The only stable monetary
donation was a gift of $4,000 by
an anonymous donor. The plant
is now worth $25O,O00 with fully
equipped kitchen, dining ROOM
utility room, play space, rooms
for handicraft and woodworking,
and cottages for housing purposes
All of this, for Is happy children
who would otherwise be living in
an unsympathetic and unhappy
world. Their world has been Gre
ated for them by group of I'M
selfish, understanding group of
people. The upkeep of each child
is $3.50 a month, and rising to
5000 month. A unit like this for
Negro children at Haven School
would be a wonderful thing, but
the initial cost would be at least
$4,000.
In the meantime, both groups
are to investigate the facilities
available for the state provided
Farm Colony at Gainesville for
Negro children. This is a custodial
and not a training cshool, which
now houses some 400 or 500
children.
Future meetings are to be held
until some sort of plan is worked
for these non-educable but train
able children.

a feverish pitch Saturday night
and fizzling out Sunday as folks
from all over the State gather
here to join with the local yokels
in celebrating Orange Blossom
Classic Time. The parade Satur-

time to pitch" and start things
rolling. A lotta loot will be thrown
around and night club mattresses
are practicing up on their coyest

into a giant among football ex-

Miami and the Orange Bowl to
nourish it's frail body. Newspaper

tend this game, and the game is
beginning to draw more fans
from neighboring states. From a
top attendance of from 5000 to
10000, its drawing power has in
creased to over 10000!
After the grand celebration
wallets will be put back into hi
bernation until the Xmas holidays.
ONE SUNDAY morning a
White pastor of a small Georgia
church accosted Colored breth-
rem whom he had noticed in the
rear of his church:
"Son (you are not called niger
on Sunday I notice you have
been coming to worship for two
Sundays now" said the good
Rev. "Do you think it's right for
you to worship with White folks?
l want you to go to your shack
and ask the Lord if that's right"
The out of place brethren,
dressed in his best Sunday over
allS and blue shirt, turned away
and went home with the starched
rails Swishing as he walked. At
home he followed the pastors
instructions.
Next Sunday the gentleman of
color was present early at church.
After service the pastor sought
out the misfit.
well son, did you pray and
find out that you were doing
wrong by coming here?"
ME and the Good Master" said
Son, "had a long chat and He
thinks l am an exceptional per-
son.
"Yes?" said Rev.
Eyes. He thinks I'm exceptional
because He said He has been try
