SAAC Protest Brings Results:
Park Boord Changes
Mind; NicoIIet Gets
Warming House

At its December 1S meeting, the
Minneapolis Park Board agreed to
rescind it's earlier decision not to
erect temporary warming house
at Nicollet Park during the skat-
ing season.
The Park Board had originally
planned to use the main park
building as a warming house this
winter instead Of constructing a
temporary skating shelter as it
has usually done in the past. This
arrangement would have meant
the elimination of many indoor pro-
grams at Nicollet in order to make
room for the skating fans.
Community concern over the
lack of warming house at the
park was expressed to park offic-
ials at a meeting Of the South Side
Athletic Club at Nicollet Park on
December IL. AS a result Of this
and subsequent meetings with rep
resenbatives from SSAC, the Park
Board agreed that a temporary
warming house was needed at Mic
oIlet Park.
John Hanson, recreation director
at Nicollet, announced that the
indoor program win continue at
the park during the winter months
because a separate warming house
is now available for skaters:
Tap dancing and ballet classes
will be resumed during the week
January 6.
The tumbling class will meet at
3:45 pm. on Fridays.
The Chess club will meet at 7
pm. on Tuesdays.
Teen dances VIII begin at I
pm. on Fridays.
The senior citizens group will
meet on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays from 1890 to $3.50 pm.
Mr.. Hanson also announced that
winter activities are now being
organized at the Park shedding
club, a girls broom hockey team
and several boys hockey teams will
be organized during the next
couple of weeks. All boys and girls
of school age who are interested
in these activities should contact
Mr.. Hanson at Nicollet Park.

Initiute Appeal
For Family Victims
Of Recent Fire

Early Friday morning, Dec. 6.
1868, a fire swept through a IL
story frame house at 631 East 3Sth
St., Minneapolis killing four small
children. Five other members of
the family were physically un-
harmed.
The four fire victims were Mrs.
Dorothy BIaylark's youngest chill
dren, David 1; Steven 5; John 7
and Ricl1y 8, leaving four surviv-
ing children and Mrs. BlayIarlt;
they are netta II, Raymond 13
Gail 16 and Denise two months.
An appeal to help the family
was slowed after 1t was learned
that the family was an Ado (Aid
to Dependent Children) recipient.
Naturally, many people thought
sending money or aid to the family
would affect the fanily's ADO
grant; because of this and con-
flicting reports from individuals
and press coverage of the fire, the
Urban League developed special
interest in the case.
Fred Smith community services
director is in charge of the relief
efforts.
Immediate Needs Pressing
While there are a number Of
circumstances that fostered this
community tragedy, the primary
concern at present, is the immedi-
ate needs of the family, four chill
dren and one adult.
without Sufficient Clothing
The family is still on ADO, how
ever, their allotment has been re-
duced because there are now five
family members. This allotment in
cludes food, clothing, rent, apph-
ance services and other inc1dentals.
The Department Of Public We'll
fare is not directly responsible for
securing all OF the needed clothing,
furniture and a special or extra
food supply" The family is without
a sufficient supply of clothing for
all family members and enough
furniture to furnish the home they
are intending to move into. Even
with the Ado grant the family
will not be able to adequately re-
place the clothing and household
furnishings destroyed by the fire
without community support. The
specific needs Of the family are:
1. The family has to have $215
to pay the delinquent gas and light
bill before they can get lights and
heat in any other dwelling unit
(ADC will not pay this back bill.
2. Clothing and extra food sup
plies for a family Of five.
8. Furniture of all sorts, chairs.

blankets, quilts, etc. (The Red

tive director of the ST. Paul Urban
League as spokesman claimed that
there are at present five cases of
alleged race discrimination cur

The statement issued by the
group points up that only two fed
eral agencies the Postoffice and the
us. Veterans administration in
the Twin Cities are taking affirm
ative action in merit employment
Mr.. Jones and others pointed
out that "the $40 Negroes and 14s
other minority group numbers
found by this survey to be en-
pBoyed by % federal agencies are
found in very token amounts out
side of the two above agencies.
Furthermore" the organizas
tions stated: I'VE fan to see how
the survey as reported in the press
could conclude non-discriminatioD
exists whsn II showed many In
equities. It indicated that while 20
percent Of the white federal en-
ployees In the Twin Cities earned
more than $500 a year, only II
percent of the Negro federal en-
ployees earned this amount.
THE report also indicated that
while twenty-five federal agencies
in the Twin Cities employed 545
Negroes and 148 other minority
group members, another twenty
five agencies do not employ any
minority group members.
Moreover, few Negroes occupy
federal jobs which require college
degrees. These are, in many in
stances, the higher level and bet
ter paying positions. 1t Is import
ant to learn why these inequties
exist before one can conclude either
that there Is discrimination or that
there is not"
The statement attacked the rule

race discrimination without detec7
ton.
The statement praised the US.

which has effectively modified this

given if the first or second person
is passed over. In this way, 1t Is

hiring an applicant"
Concluding it's statement the
human rights groups stated: I'VE
submit that the us. Civil Service
Commission is violating a public
trust If it concludes discrimination
does not exist in st. Paul and Min
neapolis Federal Agencies. It must
first satisfactorily account for the

raised. Only then can the federal

Unfhinkinq Conversation

There is speaking well, speaking easily
speaking justly, and speaking seasonably;
it is offending against the last, to speak of

limbs and health before the infirm; of
houses and lands before one who has not so
much as a dwelling: in a word, to speak of
your prosperity before the miserable; this
conversation is cruel and the comparison
