nv. Note: The following letter
Is self explanatory and comes
from a friend of everybody, Har-
ry Davis, longtime amateur box
ing coach, developer Of Upper
Midwest Golden Gloves cham
piOns who Is now director Of the
Fifth District American Legion
All Star Corporations Golden
Gloves program. Wrote Harry:
Dear Percy,
In May of 1861 the Minneapolis
Star and Tribune withdrew from
sponsoring the Upper Midwest
Golden Glove Program. The reason
given was the management felt
that they (the paper) shouldn't
sponsor events that depend on the
public for support. OF course, this
wasn't the feeling of Charlie John
son who had headed this program
for twenty-five years.
On June Is, a committee was
appointed by the Athletic Com
mission to interview groups inter-
ested in sponsoring the Golden
Glove Program. This committee
consisted of Charlie johnson,
George Barton, Ed Haislett, and
myself. The groups were: KMSP
TV Station, Pillsbury Company,
Minneapolis Teamsters Joint Coun-
Gil, and the Fifth District Amer
ican Legion All Star Corporation.
After interviewing each organiza-
ton we decided on the American
Legion because of their dedicated
work with youth. Dick Grant, a
former Golden Glove champion and
vice-president of the All Star Corp
Grafton was appointed to head the
Legion Golden Glove Program.
Dick Immediately hired me as
Director of the entire area which
consists of North Dakota, Mime
sofa, part of Montana, and part
of Wisconsin. In this area there
are eight regional headquarters:
Wahpeton, North Dakota, Roches-
ter, Blue Earth, Slayton, Saint
Paul, and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Each region has eight districts to
supply their tournaments where
there are about 5000 boys and
young men participating The re-
gions and sponsors are as follows:
Region No. 1, Minneapolis -
Fifth District American Legion All
Star Corp.
Region No. 2, st. Paul - st.
Paul Teamsters Joint Council No.
"a.
Region No. 8, Rochester-Roch-
ester Post Bulletin.
Region No. 4, Blue Earth -
American Legion Post No. SO.
Region To. 5, Slayton - Civic
and Commerce Association
Region No. 6, Wahpeton-State
School Of Science.
Region No. 7, Wadena-Knights
of Columbus.
Region No. 8, Hibbing - Num-
icipal Athletic Association.
The champions from these eight
regions come to Minneapolis in
February and compete in the Up
per Midwest Tournament at the
for the right to COM
pete in the National Tournament
in Chicago.
AS you know I have been the
Director for the Minneapolis Star
Tribune for the past two years. AS
the Director 1 am responsible for
the entire program and as Direc-
tor I am also given the titles of
Deputy Commissioner for the State
Athletic Commission and Boxing
Registrar for the AAU which holds
the position of National Committee
men on the AAU Board.

NGTON-BomDlng an air.
plane to collect insurance doesn't
pay.
Those -blooded and fiendish
enough to take other peoples lives
for the purpose of collecting insur-
ance for their families or them
selves. don't seem to know this.
which apparently is why there have
been so many bombings of passen-
ger planes.
But along with their cold-blooded
plotting against the lives of inno-
cent people they should consider the
fact that insurance companies are
not obligated to pay off when
plane is bombed and furthermore
the bomb always leaves telltale evil
dence behind.
Structure distortion. the odor of
cordite. black smudges and the resi-
due of shrapnel always point to the
work of a bomb. AS result not
one insurance company has ever
paid off. Furthermore all the bomb
ers are now either dead or in prison.

Tremendous response has greeted the resumption
OF swimming at the old YMcA pool The City of Fairbanks

We Need A Real Cleanup

In our eyes, the cleanup program in Fairbanks has
been dismal failure. AS long have our present
attitudes, this condition will continue.
II is about time for REAL cleanup campaign not
for few weeks. but the year around People visiting Fair
banks deserve more for their money than the many un
slightly piles of junk that peppered throughout the COM
mUnty.
It is true that Fairbanks has improved immensely in
this respect in recent years. But there still plenty OF
cleaning up to be done.

CHILDHOOD TRAINING
MOLDS CHARACTER
What can be done to stiffen
the spines of girls and boys
today to fuller realization
of the meaning of absolute
honesty? Are the parents wait
ing for someone else to set
rigid standards of right and
wrong or truth and falsehood?
Are the Sunday Schools so
busy quoting the little ones
with cut and color materials
that they don't tell them its
a sin to tell a lie? Are the
schools failing to make it
crystal clear what they con-
slider honest work and CIV
ing too much opportunity for
weakness. A sense of honor,
is an acquired trait. 1t is not
something that comes built
in as your oven or cabinets,
but has to be taught by pre-
cept and example. A parent
can't sit down and tell a baby
not to cheat - but inStruc-
tons can begin when the first
bowl of spinach is poured
down the drain and situations
involving honesty can be dealt
with squarely as they come
up. The first time. little Johnny
brings home something from
school that doesn't belong to
him, make him take it back
because finally by not letting
him keep what he has taken,
he wont be encourage to steal.
A parent shouldn't allow q
child to bring someone's shoes
or Gym clothes home that
she or he has stolen and par
ent should often take inven-
tory in the children's rooms
