proud of the rest of my neighbors,
too, because not a single For Sale
sign has gone up because this Ne
gro family moved in"
Mrs. Sanders went on to point
out that over the years she has
heard many complaints from our
own people who ventured into
neighborhoods which previously
had no Jewish residents. Often,
the for sale signs went up all
around them, even before the
older residents had an opportunity
to learn whether they were good
neighbors or not.
why shouldn't we wait" she
suggested, when a Negro family
moves in, to give them a chance
to prove themselves? That way we
protect our own property values,
too"
Mr.. Sanders, treasurer of the
Minneapolis Federation and a Jew
ish communal leader, is also proud
Of their new neighbors. He Joined
his wife in celebrating on the last
point she made.
I'VE couldn't wish for better
neighbors, he said. And I look
at it this way. If the rest of the
people in a block where a Negro
family moves in would only keep
up their property, the values Of
new and old residents alike would
be preserved. And keeping up the
property would assure us of &C.
quiring neighbors who had the
means and the will and the char
acter to live in good neighborhoods.
That way, we would protect
our neighborhoods from deteriora-
ton. But if we get panicky and
sell out at sacrifice, we open the
door for those with lower stand
ards to move in and thus we our
selves are guilty of paving the way
for sub-standard housing.
After ALL" Sanders concluded,
"our people have been in the fore
front of the struggle for equality
and improved relations between
various races and creeds. believe
we ought to practice what we
preach. you can definitely quote
me: we are not moving"

Her new neighbors are Negroes.
They Immediately tidied up the
yard on moving in, and that made
the Sanders very happy, for it had
been neglected.
So, after a few days, Mrs. San
ders decided to pay a call. She
baked a cake and rang the bell
at the house next door. She was
invited in, shown around the place
by the very gracious Negro woman,
who was proud of her new home.
They spoke of their families, and
the new neighbor said she had four
children but had been making a
home for three others sent to her
by the Hennepfn County Welfare
board. One was only three weeks
old when she took it in, and is now
five months old.
''B'1t those children are so we'll
behaved" said Mrs. Sanders, that
you wouldn't know there was one
child next door, much less seven.
II admire her for taking in those

to get foster homes for youngsters
in the institutions we maintain for
them.
