A DIME-AND A DREAM

(By Florence Fields-wOod)
Out on Salem Avenue, N.
w., at 1903 to be exact, is
a eonvalescent home for the
aged, and therein lies a tale.
Twenty-three years ago, a
small woman, with a dream
in her heart and a determi-
nation to make that dream
come true, started out with
a dime in her purse, an

GETTING ALONG

However, his greatest assets are in
the things with which he is as
sociated in the minds of people.
When we see Negroes working
as conductors and trainmen on
the subways and buses of New
York City, we recall that Adam
Powell added to this fight the
prestige of his standing as pas
tor in the community. When we
see Negro sales girls in the depart
ment stores and shops in New York
City, we remember that Adam
Powell joined on the picket lines
with those agitators who had be-
gun the fight, but many of whom
were discredited either as radicals
or because they did not represent
we'll known organizations. Again,
Adam Powell bolstered their fight
by placing his prestige behind
them.
Powell's chauffeur told this re-
porter that he was in the office of

NEW YORK, (GlobaD-This is
being written before the fight be-
tween Jimmy Slade and Floyd Pat
terson at Madison Square Garden
Friday, November 19, and SO will
not take into account the results
of the fight. But whatever the out
come of Fridays encounter, it will
turn out to be good Christmas
payday for Jimmy and his deserv-
ing manager, Al Joyner.
This is important, because every
fighter is given some chance to
make hay" and Jimmy has had
few such chances. He has been
matched against big boys SO long
that, according to- his own state-
ment; II don't know. what to do
when they get me into a~nratch in
my own division"
Slade has had an impressive
record, even though he has. not
really "made hay" He knocked out
: Don Cockell in four rounds. eve
note that Cockell is being given a
chance to make a little pocket
change in a fight with Rocky Mar
ciano in Las Vegas in June). Slade
was matched against Hurricane
Jackson who blew in and took
New York by storm a few months
ago. They thought of Jimmy as a
progress step" for Jackson, but
Slade turned the tables and whit
tied Hurricane down to a breeze
But all in all, Slade doesn't min6
too much being the underdog. He
says it gives him something to
fight for. Well, he has fought q
good fight, no matter who they put
hlm up against. And, like we said
before, he and big Al' Joyner de-
serve a nice little pot right now.
Merry Christmas, fellas.

by the Council upon the recommen-
dation of the Superintendent of
transportation that it would either
'oe necessary to make further cuts

policy of subsidizing the transit

NEW YORK, (GlobaD ITO ev-
erything there is a season, and a
time to every purpose under the
heaven; time to be born, and
time to die; a time to plant, and
a time to pluck up that which, is
planted; A time to kill, and a time
to heal time to break down and
a time to build up" Ecclesiastes
3:1-3.
If we are not impertinent, we
would like to submit that one of
mans responsibilities is to know
when that "time" has come; and
those who take on the burdens of
leadership must understand the i'm
portance of timing.
They said the time had come to
turn Abraham Lincoln'S picture to
the wall"-to "break down" the
Lincolun tradition in other words.
But was it-or is it-time to de-
Stroy Lincoln as our symbol so long
as the Solid South retains Jefferson
land Leo as theirs? Are we wise in
casting our lot with the whole of
American voters, as long as there
exists so much doubt in the minds
of SO many that we are, in fact,
American citizens? True, we must
think also as laborerS, white col
lar workers, teachers, farmers, but
never to the point of having our
votes delivered in a bloc at the
sacrifice of a principle that is vital
to all of US.
What form of hypnotic spell, for
instance, was cast upon Negro vot-
ers in New York who rejected a
man who gave us the first FEPC
law in the country, in favor of one
who has never held an elective
public office and therefore, has no
public record on matters vital to
every minority? The answer is
that there was blind adherence to
party line; unrelenting party disci-
pline, and unthinkable gullibility.
1t seems we were delivered out
Of the hands of one master who
held us in physical bondage, only
to be delivered up into the hands
Of others-union bosses and poll
tiesal strategists who tossed us
crumbs from the table in return
for our union dues and our votes.
They even practiced their own
particular brand of discrimination
against us.
We thought the time had come
to turn our backs on the "Old Ne
gro" who was, to us, the very soul
of servility. But we were wrong.
The "Old Negro" represented our
will for freedom Of body and of
mind. The "Old Negro" was repre-
scented by fathers who ran on the

TWO INJURED
 IN HIGHWAY WRECK

Donald E. Orcutt, of 421 A Street, Anchorage and John Sa- veiltik, 29, were injured when the 1940 Buick sedan in which they were riding overturned at Mile 4212 at 1:45 am. last Satur- day. Orcutt, driver of the car, received a shoulder injury and his passenger a dislocated hip and lacerated face and legs. Both were taken to the Valley Presby- terian Hospital and later remov- ed to the 5005th Air Force Hos pital.
 Territorial Police who investi- gated the accident contributed the cause to an apparent excess of speed and faulty equipment. The tie-rod apparently broke while the vehicle was rounding the turn, sending the car into a side skid for a distance of 50 to 75 feet before turning over. Both men were thrown from the car.
 The Buick was a total loss. No charge was placed against the driver.

Boy Scout Hike This Saturday

Boy Scouts of Troop 654 are planning hike this Saturday, June 12. They will leave United Protestant Church at goo am. and return at $50 pm. Their trip will take them to the Me Roberts Creek area. Leo Lucas will furnish transportation and accompany the boys on the hike with Scoutmaster Harry Winner.
 One of the rules passed by the troop is that a boy who is absent three troop meetings in success sion shall not be eligible to go on troop hikes or camping trips until he has attended three meet ings in succession. An exception to the ruling is made in case of illness or other reasonable ex- cuse. A few scouts will be inelig- lble for this hike because of this ruling but will be eligible for future hikes if their attendance is regular from now on.
 AS this is only one day hike, food for one meal only will be needed. The boys will need no overnight equipment. Some trail cutting is planned so hand axe or heavy hunting knife will be needed.
 In case of rainy weather the hike will be postponed.
