Butch" Mckee Wins Swimming
Event
We would like to salute Robert
Butch" Mckee, 1912 years old
who took third place in the Jr.
Olympic swimming meet held at
Encanto Park Pool, last Friday
and Saturday. The event was the
SO yard free style.
This is a very good start for
Robert, who was the only Negro
b oy in the Jr. OlympicS, n d
should act as an incentive for
other youngsters of the COM
munity to go out for competitive
swimming. We hope next year
Robert will have developed into
first place winner.
Again We take off our hats to
this youngster and wish him all
the success in the future. We
hope we have in him our first
Negro swimming champion for
the city of Phoenix.

Letter To The
EGltOr
Property Owners Across
The Tracks
ARIZONA SUN
To the Editor of the Sun

Property owners of Phoenix,
South of the railroad track: here
is something to think bou t
while there is yet time. None of
us are fighting sanitation in our
locality nor in our little home,
but the first thing I advise, is
for all of us to buy homes and
stop paying rent, even in govern
ment OWNED homes. Work hard
and become a property owner
and taxpayer. This is the first
step to good citizenship.
Buy a little home before you
buy car. If you are not able to
buy a dream house, build one or
two rooms, just a place to live
so you can raise your children
in their own home.
Work with your school board
and PTA to help improve educa-
tional assets which will help your
children to become law abiding
and God fearing citizens. A grea-
ter AnGorica is a better informed
America.
For more than 80 years, have
worked with forward looking
good people who established the
rule of owning their own homes.
They bought lots, built one and
two room houses in which this
present generation was reared.
I ride up and down these
streets of Phoenix and look at
the beautiful two and three room
modern houses built from the
blood and tears of our forefa-
theirs, without assistant from any
one. But now, as we struggle to
rise, our federal government has
offered to lend a helping hand.
Stop here and get one thing
straight! Many of you are con-
fused about the highway, speed
way, and federal owned housing
project. These programs, under
our constitution, the public has
priority rights. Even President
Eisenhower or our own Mayor,
Jack Williams, don't try to fight
such projects because they know
they can't win. -.
Now. in regards to slum clear
ance,- in 1856 Congress passed
a bill in which it states: where
a city, county or state sponsors
project, the government will as
sist if the persons own lot and
desire help. It will underWrite
more than two thirds of the cost
and allow 40 years to pay with
lowest interest rats.

conforions Fought
Losing Boftle In
AnnuoI Concert

The Cantorians fought a losing
battle with nervousness at their
concert last Friday night at st
James AME Church in 81, Paul
Comprised OF five groups, the
program moved sluggishly through
Pslestrina, Bach and Schuetly
with little or no attention to the
Latin phraseology. There was,
however, rich and vibrant tone
which did much to give some
vitality TO an otherwise hfeless
group.
The choral groups rendering Of
old English folk-tunes was excel
lent. II was apparent that some
Of the old Cantorian feeling had
revived However, it failed to last
Again, with the singing Of
Brahms and Handel, nervousness
seemed to attack the group In each
instance soprano and tenor flat
ting was obvious to a point of per-
sisting disonance. Too, the render
ing Of the fugue movement in
Celestial Concerts" was far too
ghssando for Handel
High spots of the entire con-
cert were solo passages of Wilma
Naves and James Nichols. Miss
Naves' singing of the Hairston
setting of the plantation chant
Amen" was excellent while Mic
hobs tiny solo in the Hall johnson
arrangement of Honor, Honor"
displayed a tonal richness which
tended more toward baritone than
tenor quality.
In essence, it did not appear 20
this writer that the Cantorians
were feeling Janitorial After four
years Of practice and singing en-
gagements, the degree to which
this choral group has improved
wasn't noticeable during this con-
cert.
Miss Mary Kay Murray, accom-
PIANIST, indicated a thorough un.
derstanding of accompanying tee
hniques. The ability to render
sweeping arpeggios and one-beat
triplets without detracting from
the melodic lines of the choir is
no easy job but Miss Murray was
equal to the task.-Jean Guilmant
