The committee pointed out that the
cheaper house would sell for $22.97 a
month, with no down payment, at 215 DER
cent interest including $4,000 a wear for
insurance and taxes. These payments
would be based on 20 year period. This
same house would rent for $35. 90 month
allowing ten per cent annual return.
The higher priced house would sell for
$29.O4 month, with no down payment
and would rent for $45.87 month Both
units described are FILA approved nre-
fabricated houses.
Elan 2, as recommended by the commit
tee, stipulates that the city itself should
build several hundred units of substan-
tlal low-cost houses, beginning with at
least so. And. that such housing be con-
structed by private constructors on the ba-
sis of competitive bids.
Until last Monday there had been no
action by council on the Housing Commit
tees report.
The matter of Charlottesville's slums
was originally put before committee APP
pointed by Councilman Gus X. Tebell dur
ing his recently expired term as mayor.
Mr.. Tebell, together with Councilman
James M. Barr, III, whose term expired
last September, waged determined but
losing fight for a slum clearance and low
rental housing program for Charlottes-
vile s underprivileged citizens. But three

members of the five-man council consist

improvement.
The proposed consideration of the mat
ter of slun clearance and low-rental
housing scheduled for December 1, was
requested by Councilman r. nj. (Jack)
Davis, who was elected in the June Coun-
cilmanic Elections.
This time the problem of housing will
be considered by three new and two car
ry-over members of council. Councimen
Tebell and Mayor William r. Hill, both
carry-over members, previously "for'' and
against" slum clearance, respectively,

Stadium For Jackson Burley Considered

Charlottesville, Va. The latest in.
formation concerning stadium for the
Jackson p. Burley Negro Joint Hiqh Sc
hooi serving Charlottesville City and Al
bemorle County, according to recent
press reports, is thot the Joint Committee
,or control of The school, odopted a reso-
J luton oimed at obtaining drawings for
toilets at the schools athletic field.
Although BUrIey High School is op-
eroting in its second year, no stadium hos
oeen provided except thot the students
nave been permitted to play othlefic
comes on lone's Field under the lights
on a rev occasions this season, but most
" they had to hold their home games
on Washington Perks field. A place Who'll
" unsuited both from the standpoint Of
seoting ond terrain
The Committees resolution also re-
commended fhot contracts for the work
be let as soon as possible.
IT was further reported thot this work
had been delayed because of Govern
ment controls over steel ond copper
which are necessary for the consfruc-
tion OF recreation facilities. However,
such controls have been lifted the report
continued.
During the last two years of oper-
otion Of Jefferson High School and the
first year of Burley, othIetic activities
were held mainly on Lane FieId,o mod
ernly equipped, we'll lighted othlesc
field provided for ChorIoitesvlIe's white
high school students, but made ovoiI-
able TO the city's Negro high school 9TH
etes. Prior to this arrangement Negro
high school athletic events were held
on the Washington Park Field.
This year, however, still without on
athletic field of its own, BurIey's aYhIet-
c octvifies seemingly have been greet
" handicapped. It's use of Lane Field he's
been more or less of hit or miss offoir.
While Lanes authorities have limited the
use Of its field TO BvrIey TO much lower
degree than it was during last year, they
are octine entirely within their rights. The
reu' responsibility for providing othiefic
facilities TO our Negro high school de.
wolves upon the Joint Board for Control
of Burley. 1t should waste no further time
in corVing out its duty in this important
matter. Mot merely by providing so-coll-
ed adequate fociIities--but equal fociIi-
ties os the law requires.

Notes
on
The
News
By T. J. Sellers
j. F. (Jack) FOWLER

b.
He was Commissioner of Revenue for our
city and had held that position since 1926
His body was found out in the hunting
fields down on the old Lynchburg Road
where he had gone to work with his dogs.
Jack Fowler, as he was known to
Just about all of the citizens in Charlottes-
VIE was the third generation in his fam
i.y to serve as Commissioner of Revenue
md, oddly enough, his office for 26 years
was in the verv building which is on the
site of the old Fowler home-place
he was also inc third generation in his
l"r'ily to love the out of doors and sports
usually associated with the open spaces.
Old Captain C. l.. Fowler, his grandfath-
er, died at the ripe age of 85, while bear
hunting with friends over in Highland
County and older residents of Ridge st.
may recall the little canvas covered cot
tage that stood near the main house and
was occupied by his father, Mr.. William
d. ("Whack") Fowler, because of his
fondness for the out of DOORS
MIR. Fowler had been familiar figure
along the old '1ow' road for years. Back
in the days when hunters and sportsmen
could not depend upon good roads and
station wagons to get them back and forth
from the woods and fields, Ridge St. and
Fifth St. residents could look out any
bright fall morning and see the tall fig
ure of chat Fowler boy'' stepping brislkly
behind pack of young and eager hounds.
1t was back in those days too when the
gamecocks that had been bred on the cor
ner of Ridge and Carrot streets demand
ed so much respect for all of their FORUM
ate owners and gave boy who could buy
one acceptance in any of the backyards
from upper Ridge st. to Apple St.
MIR. Fowler was every inch the mans
man and the true sportsman, but he loved
mankind, too. He might never have en-.
rolled in society for the uplift of hui
mainly and l don't seem to recall any
speeches that he made or any pieces that
he wrote the virtues of the brother
hood of man. But he lived and acted, and
made men know that he respected this
fundamental principle in his daily contacts
with them.
The uniformed taxpayer did not have
an occasion to feel embarrassed" in his
presence. The most insignificant citizen
was certain that Mr. Fowler would take
the time to help him.
The small business operator rushed to
him for advice or called him when in
doubt Or stopped him on the street-and
he was never sorry that he had done so
because "Jack" Fowler always had time.
Men like the late Jack" Fowler leave
their marks on offices and streets and
communities in which they have worked
and lived because just by their day to day
living they manage to give real meaning
to the brotherhood of man concept.

Visitors Desert:
Hollywood Hurt
HOLLYWOOD.


Film studios are a little bitter
this summer because the record
breaking tourist crop isn't pes
tering them for visitor passes on
the old scale. What happened is
that trips through the television
plants now seem to be increasing
in favor, and they are much
easier to obtain.
Actually, there seems to be an
evolution around town whereby
TV PERSONAL. les are edging out
the old-time film glamorites.
Significant is the report via
Mike Connolly's Hollywood Re-
porter column: "Hugo's Hot
Dog Emporium tore down all
movie-star photos, replacing
them with TV stars"
