YOU CANT MAKE A BUM OUT OF A CHAMP BY DISAGREEING WITH HIM I tm sure that the audience wUl foraive what might seem to be. belated post election comment, but I I frankly cannot help seeing sev era! shades oi rea over ui i ous attitudes which are evident 1 sides concerning, the recent participation of Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis In the Roose vlt Willkie. coritestj, In the first place, I should like. t8 remind all who are interested! that the fact lhat Joe Ious is a heavyweight champion does 'not by any means interfere with his being a citizen of the United States.

I should like to remind who are interested that a citi en of the United States is generally understood to have the right to express his political opinion without having his motives seriously doubted or his sanity made an issue. Why then, commentators and columnists almost universally, should work themselves into a lather either critical or forgiving over the simple fact that Joe Louis, citizen, saw fit to endorse Wendell Willkie, candidate, is much beyond my limited and humble understanding. The theory that Joe "needed the money" hardly holds any water, because if. as is hinted very significantly by some, the champion His paid a scandalous amount of Republican gold for his appearances, it does not alter the fact that the Joe Louis you and I have hi.own can scarcely be called the type of person who would sacrifice his simple, honest code for any amount of money. He has certainly had plenty of opportunity to throw in the towel and make it pay in the fight business and I hold that a Joe Louis who cannot be bought Inside the ring cannot be bought outside of It.

As to whatever money Mr, Louis may have received for his appear, nces, I am of the opinion that as long as the fighter was honestly convinced that Mr. Willkie was in tne right corner, he was perfectly within his rights in taking any amount of money that Mr. Will lie's backers were willing to pay him to say so loud and long. Joe Louis has given his life, his energy and skill to the task of becomingagainst tremendous odds a nationally prominent figure. Whatever that is worth to him he ought 1o get and I for one, am confident tfcdierine Lorraine Mayers Passes Away After 20 Months Of Illness Death came to blight the house bold of a youthful touple when Catherine Lorraine Mayers, 21 year old wife of Clarence Mayers, 502 Macon street, passed away on Friday afternoon after an extend td illness of twenty months.

Funeral services were held from the Mayers' home Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock when sev tral hundred friends, neighbors and sorrowing relatives came to pay their respects and final tribute. Services were presided ovei by Rev. Earl H. Crampton, pastor of 'Newman Memorial Church, Brooklyn, where the young worn 1 an had attended up to the time! of her illness. Flowers and expressions of sympathy were numerous.

The deceased leaves to mourn their loss a mother, father, three brothers, one sister, a husband, two young sons, mother in law and father in law and others. The young Qouple were united in September of 1937. David H. Lane was the mortician in charge of funeral arrangements. FOB NEWS wftUe Ha 'news, read The New Tart Afr every week.

DUCKETT oL JOE LOUIS that he will get nothing (because I am confident that he would not take it) which will compromise his basic ethics. 1 believe I know why there is so much amazement and criticism given Mr. Louis' endorsement of Mr.

Willkie. Sad to say. many of us have been forced to observe the spectacle of the Negroes who went to the top forgetting the race to which they owe their toy alty. Somehow or other, more than anything else throughout the entire campaign I was touched by the brokenly muttered, stumbling' ly ungracious statement Joe made in Brooklyn at the EUR' Home. He said something like this Tm not thinking of you people up North.

I'm thinking of the folks I left behind me." They have said that a man who talks so badly ought not to make a speech. Joe Louis never intend ca trying nume iimvu, impassioned oration or a flowery and polished statement. He may not be the world's wisest man, but he knows his limits. I think however, that those two lines comprised one of the finest speeches I have ever heard and one of the reasons I think so is that I realize how much worse off Negroes would have been in America today if it hadn't been for the few heroic Negroes here and there who have refused to forget the folks they left behind them.

a Ob stridea in Its 1 career i with a reused ef rtduls and tti I Two Hundred Attend Estimate Sessions; Demand Jew School Two hundred mothers and fathers of students of Public School 35 crammed four busses in front of the school building at Decatur street and Lewis avenue, Brooklyn, on Tuesday and descended upon the beads of members of the Board of Estimate to dramatize their demand that the Board approve the erection of new building to replace the outmoded and ill equipped schoolhouse. The demonstration was made under the sponsorship of the Pa rents Association of the institution which recently held a mass meeting at the school auditorium to emphasize their desire for a new school for the Negro children of the Bedford Stuyvesant area. Determined to be heard the group was first on line at the door of the Board meeting room and flowed in to pack the place to capacity when the session was opened. Among those who acted spokesmen for the cause were Ada B. Jackson, president of.

the Parents Association; Maude B. Jackson, vice president; Father James Asio. SV Peter Claver R. C. Church; Albert L.

Clarke, pres ident of the Bedford Stuyvesant Health and Playground Center; Former Municipal Court Justice Isidor Buxbaum, George E. Wibe can and Mrs. M. Jennings. Seemingly convinced of the need for new school and play areas assured the group through Acting Mayor" Newbold Morris that the $1,513,480 recommended by the Board of Education would be kept in the budget.

Mr. Clarke who was in charge in the Arrangements Committee for the recent mass meeting, said the as sociation would leave no stone unturned until construction is ac tually begun.

Evidently Mr. Arnett forgot he was in New York and that lapse of memory is no doubt what accounts for the near panic the Georgia shall we say gentleman caused Friday afternoon when he went on a rampage, frightened one hundred passengers on a West End B.M.T. subway train, struck terror into the hearts of several dred persons wsiting at the station at DeKalb avenue and unceremoniously routed six gentlemen of color at the point of a huge hunting knife.

According to the cops, it goes like this: Mistuh Arnett who is 41 and aix feet, four inches in hejght not to mention a girth exceeding two hundred pounds entered the subway door near Coney Island. He is a visitor in the eity and was evidently looking the fair borough of Brooklyn over. Everything ran smoothly including the train until at the 30th street stop the six Negro passengers got on the train. Arnett promptly ordered them to get off again. He was as insistent that they leave the train as they were that he had a lot of nerve.

The train crew had to intervene and cool Mr. Arnett off at the Pacific street station. Mr. Arnett's remarks concerning the desirability, of colored people existing were none 1 too complimentary and the colored gentleman who have a few rights in New York began to size him up and wonder if he wouldn't make good mince meat. Just as they were 'getting to the point where their tempers were ready to snap, Arnett unleashed something that resembled a baby sword only bigger.

From then on pandemonium reigned. With the train speeding ahead to the next station, the motorman's alarm whistle screeching full voice and Arnett doggedly pursuing aix gentlemen of color who had decided discretion was the better part of valor, the one hun dred passengers taw the south' ern cowboy run wua nourishing' his knife and. looking as though he meant to carve, some neat slices oi humanity.

But if any scattering was done, it was done by; the scared sepian sextette which disappeared into the crowd as soon as the doors opened are yet to be identified.

In the midst of the strains or as they sit on the sidelines watching the younger folk gc) to town, here and there many an old Brooklynite oo thee evening will review in his mind the almost 6tranger thar fiction tale which is the story of this organization which was Death brought to life the Carolina. In the early months oi 1895, Henry Formaiij Jnrtrvfl Wilmington, North Carolina, met death violent, accidental death at his place of employment in the metropolitan area, Forman had come to New York to earn a living and to jtej in some manner to aid his parents who were fat poot cjrjaos stances. So poor was that family when their: eon died tftej jrera at a loss as to how to bury him decently, Struck by the tragedy of the case, a group of Ottrva Wilmingtonians gathered together, pooled contributione and. raised the money to ship Forman'g body home to. North Carolina.

Out of that incident grew in the minds of these Southern folk the desire to weld a permanent organization which would be an asset to the race and community and which would bind the ties between sons and daughters of the state of their birth. came the Society product of careful planning and long nights of discussion and days of activity. The Manhattan apartment of William eal was headquarters and there it was the pioneers got their heads together and held meetings. Among those present at these meetings were such prominent North Carohneans and later outstanding Brooklynites as Benjamin Williams, Nathan Williams, William Cellers, John Cellers, Ishara Quick, Benjamin Quick, George Evans, James Cutler, William Cutler, Robert Wardell and Nelson McCoy. These, were natives of Wilmington.

the roster includes practically every one of note in this city born in North Carolina. In its forty five years of existence, the Society has participated in every significant event in the history of the race here. Schools with equal advantages for colored and white were fought for vigorously. It was one of the first groups to celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation in Brooklyn Social Strength Increases j. Vth its significance in the community grew the toda! strength of the Society.
