side glances

Up until a few months age
championship fights this year hao
become a rarity, now all of g
sudden almost every division has
or will have its crown on the line
in the next two months.
In the past two months there
have been three, with the mid
ddleweight, flyweight, and well
terweight divisions supplying
them. This month there will be
two more - heavyweight and
light-heavyweight - and in July
: the welterweight title will be
at stake.
The latest man TO announce the
defense of his title is Kid "Keed''
Gavilan, who will put his welter-
weight crown on the line against
Gil Turner of Philadelphia.
Turned has won 81 straight
bouts since turning professional in
1851, is a former AAU champ
failing from the City if Brotherly
Love = Philadelphia.
Included in this phenomenal
youths streak are some of the
top contenders in the Welter-
weight division such as Ike Will
liams, former lightweight cham
pion; Bernard Docusen, Del Flan-
hogan, Vic Cardell, Don Williams
and two triumphs over Beau Jack.
AS part of the skein of 81
bouts, rs of them have been by
way of the knockout or TKO
route. Boxing experts all over
the country have compared and
even rated him with the former
great triple champion Hammer
ing Henry Armstrong. He throws
punches by the dozen and wears
his opponents down. He has the
ability to beat anyone he can
hit.
Personally, the Philadelphia
sensation is a sure bet to take
Gavilan who has defended his
crown twice since winning it from
John .Pratton in May, 1851. In
the lat pound bout Gavilan broke
Bratton's jaw.
Both of the Cuban Keed's wins
were close and hotly disputed ver-
diets. as he edged New York's
Billy Graham and turned back
Bobby Dykes in Miami.
Between title bouts the Keed
has fought several non-title bouts
with his last one a few weeks
ago when he scored a sixth round
knockout over Fitzie Pruden ol
Canada.

ing on hopes of what will happen
in the future. Yesterday is history,
about which no man can do any
thing. The future is only an empty
blank upon which the present can
not fully rely, but today is Wis
ible opportunity which is looking
this generation of men in the face
- offering challenge for immediate
actions.
How Are You Living
The man who lives by honest eff
forts of his skill and labor is one
who is living an honorable life.
There are Thousands who are la
bilities upon society. Many able
bodied men are still living upon
the labor of their wives, their mo-
theirs and fathers. Every real man
seeks to be self-supporting.
For What Are You Living
Are YOU living only for yourself,
or are you living for others? A
great statesman said a few days
ago: "He who gets stuck on him
self, is sure to get stuck with him
self, for nobody wants him but
himself" Useful lives are those
who live in consideration of others.
When it comes to living in con-
sideration of others, the average
Negro has a long way to go.
Many of us are ungodiy selfish. We
live in the world as though no one
else lives in it but us. The whole
world is no larger to some folk
than their own community. The
whole human race to some men
only consist of himself and his
household. We must begin to live
in consideration of others. stop
ped in a little city a few days
ago for something to eat = went
into a place operated by Negro.
Shortly after I had placed my
order, a crowd of young Negro
girls and boys came in. They or
dered two or three bottles of pop,
and one went over and put fifty
cents into a record player and
turned it up as loudly as it would
play and sat back to listen to ele-
ven records of the most disgrace
full type. 1 called one of them over
10 my table and said: will you
kindly tune that machine down a
little please?" He looked at me as
if to say: "If you don't like what
is thrilling US, you can get up and
get out"
Those boys and girls are living
only for themselves, without any
consideration of others. With the
walls of segregation crumbling all
over the world today, we, as Ne
groes must begin to prepare our
selves to live in one world. We
have had two worlds so long until
it is going to be bit difficult for
some of us to become adjusted to
one world. For hundreds of years,
We have had what is known as the
"white mans world and the colored
mans world" (The world of dark
er peoples.) The two worlds are
gradually uniting. Will the aver
age Negro be ready to live in this
one world? The answer to this
question depends upon where, how,
and what we are living for today.
Just how we'll all races are going
to get along in this one world de-
pends upon the kind of founda-
ton we are building for future
living.

achievements with his fabulous
Harlem Globetrotters basketball
team and other enterprises has

rope that he was embarking in the
theatrical field as a producer and
director of talent.
The decision by Saperstein came
as no surprise to his friends and
associates, who knew that, thea

the Chicagoan. In addition to the
many great athletes in all lines Of
sports he has developed, he has
brought to the front numerous
talented entertainers. He has dis
covered outstanding talent in all
parts of the world and brought
them to this country as added at
fractions accompanying his Globe
trotters and other units. Saperstein
has won recognition as one of the
top ShoWmen of the day as we'll
as the leading sports promoter of
the era.
Saperstein'S great successes with
his Harlem GlobetrotterS of the
court, other cage teams and num-
erous baseball enterprises are well
known to all followers of sport. He
is now associated with Bill Veeck
in the ownership of the st. Louis
Browns. Before that he was affili-
ated with Veeck when the latter
controlled the Cleveland Indians
and it was Saperstein who arranged
for the signing of Satchel Paige,
Larry Dolby, Luke Easter, Orestes
Minoso, Harry Simpson and other
sepia stars by that club. Abe also
is the sole owner of the Chicago
American Giants and Harlem
Globetrotters baseball teams, two

Brooks, pretty sepia song stylist
known as the Queen of the
Boogie" off her many movie and
recording hits and personal appear

and night clubs. Saperstein is TAX
ing her to Europe as the first step
in his program to boom her into
an international favorite. She be-

agement.
Moviegoers throughout the world
will recall the hit she made in
the 1850 Humphrey Bogart film,
I'm Lonely Place." Her rendition
of the Ray Noble song, Il Hadn't
Anyone But You," was one Of the
high spots of that movie. Two years
before that she had made her cin-

Popeye !1 And Hey Found Safe On Ug ok IsIond

Word was received here Fri doy morning that Tom EIcy was safe in Kodiak. The elderly man had been missing with the Pop eye II since September 10 when it disappeared for the second time on its way from Pirates Cove near Whittier to Seward.
 At that time it was found bcached in Puget Bay, and after repairing a foulcd propeller Eley once more started for Seward. He failed to arrive and the sec ond intensive search began by US. Coast Guard and boats from Seward
 A story was broadcast Friday morning, Sept. 2G,, that two hunters found the little Popeye Il aground on Ugak Island. The US. Marshal wired Seward that Mir Elcy was safe in Kodiak and that the Coast Guard has closed the search.
 According to stories, little food was left, four potatoes and a tank of water, Elcy is about 6o years of age, according to his nephew, Ray SeferoVich of this city. The Scferoviches and Mrs. EIey had nearly given up hope of his survival after nearly a month of anxious waiting.
 Ugak is a very small island at the easternmost tip of Kodiak Island. If the POpeye II had dritted a short distance to the eastward or between Ugak and Kodiak Islands, it is probable that it would never have been found. How he managed to stay afloat through the storm and high winds of the past two weeks remains to be learned.
 In the meantime, Seward peo- pie have watched the search with sympathetic interest, and now rejoice with Mrs. Eley at the good news of her husband $ safety.

Supt. Reporfs On Seward Schools
By Carl R. Carlson
THE TOBACCO TAX

Every time you buy a pack of cigarettes. cigars or tobacco. you are contributing to the building of Alaska's s schools. In fact, the smokers of Alaska have already in the last three years con tributed handsomely to | h school cOffers.
 In l949, the Territorial Legis- lature, in seeking new sources of revenue, learned that Alaska was one of the few political areas that did not tax tobacco. So that Legislature placed fairly stiff tax on tobacco products Gin creased in 195D providing that funds derived from this source should be used for the eXclu- sivc purpose of rehabilitation, construction and repair of Alas ka's school facilities.
 Since no provision was made for distribution of this fund, Dr. Ryan. Commissioner of EduCa- ton at that time, called Super intendents Conference at Ju- neau to work out formula for transferring these funds to the various schools of the Territory. This plan of distribution was rather complex one, aimed at protecting both the small schools Qike Eagle, Pelican and Yaku- tat, and the large schools (An- chorage and Fairbanks). This formula provides a small basic allowance of 5000 per year per district. The remainder of the fund is divided into two parts. One part is distributed on the basis of the average daily attend ance of pupils of each district. The other part is distributed ac- cOrding to the number of prOteS- sional employees teachers, prln- cipals and superintendentS) Dis tributions were to be made twice a wear. This plan was accepted by the Territorial Board of Edu- cation and has been the basis for the distribution of the fund.
 The Seward schools have been allotted a considerable sum from this source. In the initial dlStrl- button in 1850, Seward received S15. .585.4O. In 1851 the amount was S16,347.42. Distribution for the last half of 1851 was S13,6OO. Another distribution is now due for the half year ended June 3O, 1852.
 In Seward, this fund has been used sparingly. Most of the pro- iects of remodeling the present school building have been paid for from the regular school bud get. Most of the tobacco tax pay ments have been accumulated to apply to new school cOnstructioA~ Since Seward must build new school building soon, the Seward School Board feels that the fund should be permitted to grow, so the Board will have q SiZcable amount available to apply to the initial payment of the new build ing. In this way the city will not have to float as large bond is sue to pay for the new school.
 Yes. the use of tobacco IS Of importance to school finance. But do not go out and oVerdo the tobacco habit just to help the schools. It is an expensive and dirty habit; knOW-l smoke
