There was no outery over block-busting." There seemed little need for anxiety. Almost without exception the black families tended to follow the path of earlier. immigrations of blacks from the inner city slum. They moved southward down a corridor of neighborhoods that were already changing from white to black. Were they steered into this black corridor? There were some complaints that project counselors had given the families lists of available dwellings that were situated mostly in the corridor.

But officials insisted that the families were free to move wherever they chose in a seven area surrounding Kansas City. THIS MEANT that they could go as far as Leavenworth, 25 miles away, although the farthest anyone got was Prairie Village, 13 miles from the slum. Most of them were content to remain in the city. There was no traumatic push into the white residential areas or the suburbs. "Usually, they (the black families) didn't even look in white areas," said Ammi Kohn.

Chess boards in the 12th and Tests: Fox Not Rabid Tests conducted by a laboratory in Iowa City, Iowa have shown that a fox that attacked a family of four in a Davenport cemetery last Monday was not suffering from rabies. The fox was shot by Justus Smith, the city's animal control officer, after Stanley Burnette, 1413 W. 3rd Davenport, reported, that the animal chased himself, his wife and two children as they were visiting the grave of a relative in the Fairmount Cemetery.

No members of the family were bitten by the fox, although Burnette said he kicked the animal several times before it ran away. 4-H Ball Tournament The largest field of 4-H softball teams begin play Monday at the Dixon Memorial Park and Kuhl's Diamond south of Eldridge, with 28 4-H boys and girls teams in competition, according to Wes Whiteside, Scott County extension 4-H and youth leader.

Hits Illinois Legislators Arnold Smith, Moline, first president of the Home Owners Tax Payers Assn. of Illinois, announced his resignation Saturday and leveled a blast at legislators for failing to enact property tax relief measures. Smith, former mayor of Moline, said the association "is possibly fighting a losing battle this year because none of the Illinois candidates have indicated a willingness to fight for tax measures that would relieve the burden from the homeowner. "The people will get a lot of sympathy this year, but no action," he said.

Smith resigned effective Aug. 1. A new president will be elected July 15 at a meeting of the group in Moline city hall.

When a certain King Louis lost a chess game to Rognvald, he stood up in a fury, shoved his chessmen into a bag and smashed his opponent in the face with it, leaving him a bloody mess. "Take that!" exclaimed the king. Rognvald rode off in a panic.

Suppose the family required a three-bedroom apartment. The average rent in Kansas City for a threebedroom dwelling of "standard modest housing" is $200. The family would then quality for a $137.50 monthly subsidy. But the project has not been totally serene.

Fourteen families were terminated for rent delinquencies. John E. Bridges, assistant director of the Model Cities program, said "four or five" houses had been vandalized by the tenants. Also, some 10 to 15 families had abandoned their new dwellings and vanished without notice. VARIOUS reasons were given for the dropout rate.

Many families had underestimated the upkeep of their new homes. Those who came from public housing were sometimes staggered by the high utility bills they would now have to foot. Some had moved into neighborhoods where their children could not get school lunches. Others found they would free have to lay out more money for transportation to their jobs. "Keeping up with the Joneses" was a major problem.

Many migrant families found themselves in middle-class neighborhoods where they felt they had to buy better furniture and wear better clothing. Finally, some of the more thoughtful families worried about the approaching termination of the experiment. It is a three-year program. And although the government has promised to find standard housing for the families involved, there is no guarantee of a continuing subsidy.

Most of the clients seemed happy.
