Phoenix E|ks Delegates
Return After A Pleasant
Trip To Buffalo Session
BY ID. F. BENSON

Inc SIduud! leCOll VI tiiC
Phoenix Elk's delegation is COM
ing to an end after most de-
lightful and enjoyable session with
the National Grand Lodge held
in Buffalo, New York, last week.
Buffalo called the finest host to
Elks in years; the city's lack of
bias praised by the delegates; hos
pitality unequaled.
The delegates from Phoenix en-
joyed themselves to the utmost.
Among them were: Exalted Ruler,
Kermit eagle; Secretary, Glenn
Mallory; Daughter Ruler, Susie
Oby; Chief Antler of the Past
Exalted Rulers Council of Ari-
zona, Ernest Walker.
Those attending, sent by the
Buffalo Club were: Robert Tate,
j.. D. Holmes, and your humble
servant Doc Benson.
The Buffalo party left on Mon
day night by the southern route
but travelled many routes before
reaching Buffalo on Thursday
night about pm. Needless to say
we were knocked out after travel
ing over 1000 miles with only a
few hours rest. Altho the excite
ment of seeing the baseball game
between the New York Yankees
and Cleveland Indians was quite a
lift, especially with the. Indians
winning 80. We got to see in ac-
tion such notables as Suitcase
Simpson and Larry Dolby. Big Luke
Easter wasn't in the game that
day.
We noticed in Cleveland, signs
tackled on almost every post ad-
vertising the World Series which
claimed will be played there.
If the Indians lose, there will be
a great letdown in their home
town.
After reaching Buffalo late that
night we hailed take cab on the
suburb of the city, asked for di-
rections. Fearing we would lose
our way, the driver escorted us
9 miles to our address. Is that
hospitality, or is it? This is just
one of the many courtesies shown
visiting Elks while in the city.
Buffalo is a city of approximately
100000 Negroes who "bent back
wards to make the visitors stay a
pleasant one.
We saw many beautiful places of
interest on our trip including that
indiscribable Niagara Falls. l
wouldn't attempt to describe its
granduer and beauty only to say
we. saw it.
To climax a week of enjoyment
we made our exit by the way of
Canada where we enjoyed both the
scenery and the feeling of freedom
from segregation.

REDUCTION IN FLAT
RATE WATER USERS

In July, 1850, 4-021 water con-
sumers were billed on a flat
monthly rate. However, through
enforcement of the ordinance re-
quiring installation of meters, this
total was reduced to l ,448 on July
81, 1851. This means that during
the IL months ending July 81, un-
metered services were reduced
from 1913 per cent to 3.4 per cent
of total services. In this same per-
iod, the total number of services
increased from 39,001 to 42,115;
an increase of 10 per cent. Total
water billings increased 1874 per
cent. The number of new installa-
tons during July was 266 in COM
parison with 1872 in the same
month year ago.

A little majorette, clad in purple
velvet, strutted from curb to curb
ahead of the Heart of Detroit
Lodge Band. Majorettes from the
Beale Street-Buff City Lodge,
Memphis, did backbends in the
middle of Main Street, and two
majors and ten majorettes preceded
a swing band from Twin City
Lodge, Farrell, Pennsylvania.
A drill team, wearing green
combat uniforms and white helmets
passed while jitterbugging with
parade-ground precision. A band
from Greater Pittsburgh was led
by thirteen majorettes, who cut
their capers with split-second tim
ing.
Junior Elks were represented by
several units, including twenty
three boys and girls in white and
purple who danced gaily behind
the King Tut Lodge Band from
Cleveland. Members of the Flower
Club of Bon Ami Temple, Pitts
burgh, rode in pastel dresses on
float covered with gladiolus and
greenery.
Shortly before the parade dis
banded it passed before review

Southern Democrats, applauded as

Later in the debate, Representa-

Texas, told the house that Dawson
had made touching Speech" but
not to forget that the Illinoisan
had been honored as every other
member, had been made chairman
of a great committee, and has been
treated with great respect and
affection" by all members, includ-
ing those from the south.
Just before the debate closed,
Chairman VinSOn, one of three
southerners who voted against the
Winstead amendment in commit
tee, took the floor to say that he
would support the segregation pro-
poSal because the committee de-
cided to write it into draft 1egisla-
ton.
Supporting his motion to strike
out the WinstAad amendment,
Price said provision giving in
ductees the right to choose to
serve only with segregated units
would interfere with military eff
cheney.
He pointed out that there are
no segregated units in the Navy
or Air Force, and no segregated
training divisions in the Army.
Representative James G. Fulton,
Republican of Pennsylvania,
wanted to know how would "race, "
as used in the Winstead amend
ment, be determined. "What puts
person in a particular racer" he
asked. "Ts it your grandfather,
your great-grandfather, who is the
controlling factor. How far back
does it go?"

Dawson reminded the members
that he was born in the south and
lived there during the days of his
young manhood. Although he was
beyond the draft age when World
War 1 broke out, he said, he vol
ullteered, was commissioned a first
lieutenant of the infantry, and led
a segregated outfit in battle.
Pointing to mustard gas burns
on his face and shoulder wound
received in the war, Dawson de-
cIared:
II would give up this life of
mine to preserve this country and
every American in it, white or
black.
'I say to you who claim to love
America in this hour of its stress
that the greatest argument the
Soviet Union is using among the
black peoples of the world to turn
them against us is your treatment
of me, an American citizen.

ocrat of Mississippi, urged that the
problem" be left to the military
leaders and take it away from
these political = committees that
have done nothing but stir up ra-
cial. hatred and racial prejudices
in this country" He was referring
to the Presidents Committee on
Equality of Treatment and Oppor-
tunity in the Armed Services.
Clayton Powell Takes Issue
Representative Adam C. Powell,
Democrat of New York, took issue
with Winstead over the Mississippi
ian's statement that cOlOred peo-
p!el wanted segregation. That is
not true by any stretch of the
imagination" the New Yorker de-
/ -clared.
"They (colored individuals and
organizations are not in favor OF
segregation" Powell said. "By the
power of the living God we are
going to purge it from the Ameri-
can scene"
Powell conceded that some wars
in the past have been fought on
the basis of segregation, but en-
phasized that the fighting in Ko-
rea is not a war of the past.
"This is a war to carry the
torch of freedom to portions OF
the earth where freedom has never
been known, to portions Of the
world that are now enslaved," he
said adding:
"You cannot do this with men
shackled by the chains of segrega-
ton. If we are to appeal to this
world that we are the torch
bearers of this new liberty of man

Well Folks:
If you missed that East Lake
Park ball game last Sunday, and
judging from the small attendance
in the stands, many of you did -
you certainly missed good game.
The Big Leagre' games don't often
come better. In fact, there were
two big league players in our
camp. Glendale Grey's pitcher,
Dick Tross, played in Triple A
ball last year and is now waiting
for his new contract. Of course,
you all know of the fine record of
our Ford Smith. Next Sunday,
April 22nd, we will have another
game i'm East Lake. The ElOy Cubs
will be here and if the grape vine'
is right they will have Birdie Rob-
bins with them. That could develop
into another Big League game.
You can be assured that our fel-
lows will always be in there try
ing. They could certainly stand q
little better support out of you
fans. Only 131 paid admissions. An
admission charge of 35c isn't very
much for the type of baseball that
they have been giving you.
Out of that when we take the
governments 22Hc on each dollar
and tho rental Of the mark it GER
tainly doesn't leave much of any
thing for the ball players. The
only solution tina. can think of
is for each baseball fan among
you to encourage some other fan
to be there with his little old 35c
change when the game starts, Sun
day, at $3.50. Thanks,
Freddy"
