The Oldest Inhabitants, Inc,
last night voted unanimously

ing a report from Walter A.
Jones, a member, on the Citi-
zens' Advisory Councils public

necessary pressure to seek re-
location into new housing in
the area for persons effected
by urban renewal. The areas
under discussion are the North
Capitol street and New York

The association decided to
invite Carl Shipley, District Re-
publican chairman, and a Dem
ocratic representative to ex-
press their political views and
discuss home rule at the groups

timonial dinner for their presi-

blend helps speed the "wam-up" process in
side your engine.
This means that your car can run more
smoothly soon after you start. Also, that you
don't waste gasoline on long, sputtering
warm-ups.
Pentane mix works like kindling in log
fire. 1t ignites easily-gets everything going
faster. Result: you get smooth-running en-
gine sooner.
Super Shells "anti-icer" fights
carburetOr ice that could stall you fast
The third cold-weather ingredient in Super
Shells winter blend is an anti-icer.
Its job is to Gg ght carburetor icing This phe-
nomenon can lead to sudden stalls when you
least expect them.
Icing stalls can occur when the weather,s
mild-even when it's as warm as IS de-
grees And they are most likely to happen
when the air is damp.
To understand how your carburetor becomes
cold, moisten the back of your hand. Notice
how the skin becomes cool as the moisture
evaporates?
Same thing happens when gasoline evapo-
rates in your carburetor. The temperature
drops, freezing the moisture that's in the air.
A frosty ice appears. When it builds up on
vital carburetor parts, it can create an obstruc-
ton that can stall your engine.
Shells "anti-icer" ingredient works this
way: it coats vital carburetor parts with very
thin chemical film. This coating discourages
critical ice buildup and cuts your chances of
icing stalls.
Now that you know how Super Shells
three cold-@eather ingredients work, take a

But It's Slavery

Some writer's claim that
there was q Negro on one Of
the ships commanded by
Christopher Columbus. II 50,
he was not a slave. His name
was Pietro Alonzo II Negro.
He was captain of the Nina
and no one can prove or dis
prove the notion, but the
probability is that Alonzo
was q dark Moor from Mo-
rocco. and that the last part
Of his name is descriptive
rather than racial.
Most OF the sea traders
from the Americas sent their
ships to Nigeria, up the Niger
River to Port Harcourt and
Brass and Onitsha for the
strongest young men and the
finest, child-bearing women.
Prices, according to the ebb

Christopher Columbus cap
tured 500 natives Of Santo
Domingo and sent them back
to Queen Isabella of Spain
as slaves. He wrote that this
was a good means Of saving
the souls Of the "cannibal
pagans." Three hundred
more were sent by a brother
OF. Columbus, but the Queen
had an attack Of conscience
: and sent them back to the
New World. However, the
Indians were poor workers
so. in 1901, the first Negro
slaves were introduced into
america by Spain.
So many were sent that,
two years later. Gov. de
ovando sent word home from
Hispaniola to please stop the
traffic. The trade was cut
down to Christian slaves"
who. it was felt, could mingle
with the Indians and teach
them the niceties of church,

When the Queen died, King
Ferdinand, in 1911, ordered
a large number Of slaves to be
purchased in Guinea, Africa,
and sent at once to the New
World. Spanish seafarers
had told the King that one
Negro could do the work Of
four Indians. That was the
economic factor which tipped
the scales.

surprised to find that Afri-

| Intimacy is the key. II Is

And one last word, George:

To put it another way-when
