Dave Clark, Milton Shivers, How
ell King, Clinton Bridges. and
Lorenzo Pack were the fistic pro-
ducts developed In the gymnas-
ium at Brewster Recreation
Center.
While Joe Louis proved to be
the brightest star developed by
that fiery little instructor, Alter
KID Ellis, the others used their
failing fists and boxing skill to
take them far down the boxing
road.
Following closely upon the
heels of this aforementioned illus
trious group came Jimmy Edgar,
who. but for the untimely turn OF
world events-World War IL,
and a later eye affliction, might
have become the middleweight
champion.
There was a lull in the develop
ment of boxing talent in the
Motor City for a spell, but three
years ago Eddie Futch, one OF
those young fighters who came
along at the time of Joe Louis,
discovered in Lester FELTON, a
youngster with promising ability.
FELTON, is now one Of the rank
ing welterweights in the country.
But right now Detroit fight
fans are turning their attention
to a new pugilistic discovery -
21-year-old Embrel Davidson, a
Detroiter by way OF East st.
Louis and Columbus, Ohio. David
SON has been living in Detroit for
q little over IL months.
Since turning professional in
1919, the husky youngster with
power-laden fists, has had IL
lights, winning IL Of them by
lknockouts. His latest victim was
Ralph Schneider. New York
heavyweight. who was knocked
out in the first round Of a sched-
uIcd hereunder In Detroit's
Arena Gardens. three weeks ago.

Begin Win the Boy

If you are ever going to do
anything permanent for the aver
age man, you have got to begin
before he is a man. The chances
of success lies in working with
the boy and not with the man.
That applies peculiarly to those
boys who tend to drift off into
courses which mean that unless
they are checked they will be
formidable additions to the GRIM
inal population when they grow
older.
No nation is safe unless in the
average family there are healthy,
happy children. If these children
are not brought up we'll they are
not merely a curse TO themselves
and their parents, but they mean
the ruin of the state in the future.

Davidson, a well-knitted young
ster has a slight resemblance
TO Joe Louis. was born May 16,
1929, in East st. Louis, Illinois.
After completing the ninth
grade. the Davidson family
moved to Columbus, Ohio.
Embrel, who tower 8 feet, /
inch and tips the scales at POS
pounds, played basketball and
baseball while in high school. He
was a catcher on the baseball
team.
He started fighting while in the
army. II was after his return
from duty in the European
theater. and while he was sta
toned at Fort Eustis, Virginia.
A heavyweight was needed for
the fight card, so Davidson was
picked because of his size. He
went on to win the camp cham
pionship by defeating James
Simpson.

The youngster has a very good

HEALTH AND HOBBIES

In these days of stress and strain, almost every body recognizes the physical and psychological values of hobbies. We know that interesting avocatons add lift us out of the rut of everyday routine and add to our personal efficiency by adding to our pleasure in living Yet most of us fail to give the matter of hobbies the study it merits For each individual there are good ones and others that aren't so good The right hobby in the wrong place can do more harm than good
 Most off-schedue activities fall into one Of two general classification those which provide amuse- ment and entertainment alone and the ones whch are constructive well enjoyable. The first group has an important place of its own but the second can be far absorbing and can be profitable III more ways than one

BRITISH AID TO BE CUT

England, Churchill argued, was aiready doing more than her share for European defense than any other European country by her per capita output of munitions and troops. He suggested that the one way England would join the Eur opean army was if the United States would join, too.
 Eisenhower argued in reply that it was absolutely essential within the next few weeks for the British to prove their honest cooperation in the defense of Europe. Other wise not only would the other countries pull out, but economic aid to England probably would be drastically cut by Congress.
 Finally Churchill promised that England would provide planes for the European army in addition to training pilots. However, he re- fused to commit himself either on the European army or on the Schuman plan. But he did say that he appreciated Eisenhower's frank ness and would consider all the points Ike had brought up.

It is fair believe to argue that participating hobbies are superior to those in which the follower is merely a spectator.

 But whatever the bent, we're wise to indulge it as much as we can. The tempo of modern living demands time off," and time off, expended profit ably and peasurably, is many times beneficial as that spent in doing nothing.

 Unless England supported the European union, Eisenhower arg ued the Scandinavian countries, Belgium and the Netherlands would not join. Without England, Eisen- hover said the French, Italians, Dutch and Belgians were fearful that Germany would dominate western Europe. This was too great a risk for them to take.
 Churchill did not interrupt too many times while Eisenhower was talking. He replied, however, that England did not consider herself g part of the European continent, that her commitments were to the British Commonwealth, that she had never intended to join the European army and the United States knew it.

STEEL STRIKE

Reduced to cold arithmetic. here is pretty much what the threaten ed steel strike is all about:
 United Steelworkers point to the fact that profits of the major steel companies have zoomed far beyond wages and the cost of liv- ing. Tn 1945, the profits of the nine major companies controlling 80 per cent of production were $751; 100000. That was an excellent year-the last year of the war.
 But in the six years since then, steel profits have gone up 240 per cent. This year they will be rough Y s515,0o0,000.
 Dividends paid to stockholders have also zoomed U. s. Steels dividends, for instance, have shot up 166 per cent in the five years since VIE Day.
 Meanwhile the cost of living has risen 44.3 per cent in six years, while the average weekly wage of a steelworker has increased 46.s per cent. In 1945 he got $52.44 for a 44-hour week; now he gets cr-C TIT f1. - xo t.,,x~ x.x>,l<

THE LIFE INSURANCE INDUSTRY

The life insurance companies of the United States are increasing their assets annually at the rate of four or five billion dollars. Combined these com panies have insured Americans, and others, for a record total of S253 OOOOOO,0OO.
 In the past, there has always been more de- mand for investment capital than supply. Today there is still ample demand for the capital to be invested although some economists the time rap idly approaching when the supply of investment capital will equal or exceed the demand.
 Already American insurance companies are n- vestng in companies and operations which heretofore would have been passed up risky investments. A recent analysis insurance investments of the last decade reveals that insurance companies have entered all sorts of businesses and are still seeking entry into other business operations In former years gov errment state and municipal bonds, top-fight rail- road and utility bonds and industrial mortgages were the only investments sought by large insurance companies
 As the capital assets of the great insurance companies increase, new fields of investment must be found if present-day capital is to continue it's multiplication process. The insurance industry-the nations major source of capital = is now finding annual profits so large they may soon present an investment problem.
