Is the Jew a Friend To the Negro? I am happy to contribute my personal views on the subject of your symposium, namely, "Is the Jew a Friend to the Negro?" My opinion for many years has been that a most cordial and friendly relation has existed between these two groups of our American citizens. Between these two groups of a once oppressed people, there of right should be a sympathetic friendliness. This, I believe, there is, for no better proof of this friendly relation could be found than the fact that our Negro group patronizes our Jewish merchants with seventy-five per cent of their purchases of merchandise and food stuffs. This, in itself, is convincing proof that our Negro group regard the Jew as friendly. This daily intercourse must of itself develop and create a friendliness. Jews are not vindictive. Rather are they a sympathetic, charitable, Christian people—law-abiding, energetic, progressive citizens. My observations have been that these two groups of our citizens disseminate a splendid feeling of good will one toward the other. Great institutions of learning and training of the Negro youth, who, for many reasons, have been less fortunate than their fellows, have been established by Jews through their charity, sympathy and good will toward the Negro group. This, to my mind, is an established proof of friendship. My hope is that this friendliness, good will and co-operation may ever abound, not only between these two groups, but between all groups of our citizens. Then, indeed, will civilization advance, and all mankind rejoice in the rein of universal peace and happiness.

INDIANA'S GREATEST COLORED NEWSPAPER INTERFERES WITH AXE WHEN SON IS FIST FIGHT LOSER Because, witnesses say, his eight year old son was losing in a fight with nine year old Garland Harris of 2323 Adams street, Stanley Barbich, 38, of 2321 Washington street, seized the axe with which he had been trimming the tree in front of his home and knocked the colored youth unconscious with the handle. The attack occurred Monday evening at the Washington street address. The Negro youth and the white boy were playing together and got into a fight as Barbich was trimming the tree. He stopped and watched the battle, approving the fight as long as his son was winning, interfering only when Garland was getting the better of the battle. His Story But according to the story Barbich told police, he slugged the youth because the boy refused to heed his orders to get out from under the tree he was trimming with the axe. This tale is denied by witnesses. When police arrived on the scene, they found Barbich surrounded by a crowd of people who prevented him from making his escape. Both he and his son were taken to police headquarters. The boy was set free and the father is out on $2,000 bonds pending trial for assault. Garland was rushed to St. John hospital where it is said that he will recover. H. A. GREEN OF GLEN PARK STEPS IN RACE FOR CITY COUNCILMAN A Business Man, He Promises Sound Representation Announcement is made today that H. A. Green, well known Glen Park business man and Gary civic leader, will be a candidate for council at large in the republican primary election, May 7, and is desirous of the support of all who know him and others interested in efficient administration of city affairs in a business-like manner by a business man. Mr. Green, who is head of H. A. Green and company, painting and decorating contractors of 3712 Broadway, is well known in all sections of Gary, having been in business uptown since the world war, until he opened his Glen Park office and store about a year and a half ago. The candidate is one of the pioneers of Gary, coming to this city in 1913 to accept a position with the Illinois Steel company. He remained with this plant until the advent of the World War, being a private in Company F., he entered the armed forces of America. Mr. Green had proved his abilities as a soldier in the border warfare with Mexico a few months previously and keen observers of Company F at Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg, Miss., soon singled him out for instruction work. Commissioned Officer At this point Mr. Green joined a transport company of the 113th supply train when he expected to get early action abroad, but his abilities at home were still against him and he was sent to Camp Taylor, where he obtained an officer's commission as first lieutenant. Mr. Green was then assigned to the Field Artillery at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, as a teacher of material and mathematics, where he served until the end of the war. Returning from the war Mr. Green nine years ago engaged in the painting and decorating business, first operating for several years from his home at 437 (Continued on Page 2) FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1929 BOY, "Davie" Grand C. W. DAVE GRAND IN COUNCIL RACE A Jeweler, Sponsor of Sports, He Seeks Council Honors David (Davie) Grand, once known as the golden-voiced fireman, later business man and sports enthusiast, delighted his legion of friends last week by announcing his candidacy for the Republican nomination for councilman-at-large. "Davie," a resident of Gary for more than 22 years, a veteran of the World war with a record of overseas service, and possessor of a broad background of business experience; will undoubtedly be a factor in the approaching primary contest. Coming to Gary in December, 1906, when the then embryonic city consisted of only a cluster of shacks, Mr. Grand was for several years employed as ticket agent by the New York Central lines. Served As Secretary For a decade he was secretary to ex-Fire Chief Wilfrid Grant, and for three years he was the proprietor of his own cleaning and pressing establishment. At present he is credit manager for Comay's Jewelry, Inc., 624 Broadway. He lives at 124 West 4th. But to his host of friends, "Davie" is perhaps best known for his inimitable talents as a singer and entertainer. For years he has been featured in shows staged by the Elks, Knights of Columbus, American Legion and other civic and fraternal organizations. As a member and potential leader of the pep committee that attended Chamber of Commerce tours of this region, as a singer with the old Gary Municipal band, as a willing worker upon every occasion where his services were in demand, he has extended his acquaintanceship and friendships. In addition to his other activities, Mr. Grand has found time to become one of the foremost boosters of sports and athletics in the Steel City. Ardent Sports Promoter From 1920 to 1922, inclusive, he owned and managed the Gary baseball club when that aggregation was one of the outstanding semi-pro teams of the middle west. "Davie" staged his contests as none since then have staged them, with music for which he paid good money, to entertain, and with other features of interest, and he was uniformly successful. During these same years Mr. Grand directed the Gary Tech football eleven, which is the only really creditable semi-pro football team that ever represented this city upon the gridiron field. Besides being a member of various fraternal bodies, Mr. Grand is an active member of the American Legion, holding at this time the chairmanship of the house committee of Gary Memorial post. If nominated and elected to the city council, Mr. Grand promises to carry into his performance of duties the same enthusiasm, vigor and earnestness that he has manifested in the other activities that have marked his career here. Because of his interest in activities all over the city, Mr. Grand has been fortunate in gaining a wide circle of friends among the colored people of Gary, it was stated today. His love of sports and boxing, pursued for a number of years, has caused him to be thrown in contact with dozens of South Side inhabitants whom he numbers (Continued on Page 2) SCHOOL TEACHER SAYS PASTOR IS HER CHILD'S DAD Betrayed Orphan Girl, Then Told Her He'd Wed Another Spartansburg, S. C.-Claiming that the Rev. J. W. Coleman, pastor of the Majority Baptist church here was the father of her seven weeks old baby boy, Miss Malissa Preston filed a paternity suit against the minister here this week on her return from New York, where she went for her confinement. Miss Preston, a former teacher in the city schools and a graduate of the Hampton institute in 1915, declined at first to make any statement when interviewed. Later she said: "You see this thing has happened. The child is born. The Rev Coleman is its father and I am not married to him, but I don't feel so terribly ashamed of myself. "I am only sore with the Rev. Mr. Coleman for taking advantage of me in the way he did. I can't talk about it to you, but I was justified in going as far as I did with him, for he appeared to be so good and truthful and a minister, too, and I one of his best workers in his church. After having lost my father and mother, in my house there is no one but my niece and myself. I believed his promises and there you are." "He asked me not to bring the baby back here, but when he refused to look after me further and let it be learned that he had decided to take a Miss Griffin into the parsonage as his wife, I figured that I had better come back and have some kind of an understanding with him. "My lawyer advised me to have the courts decide on the affair and that is all I have to say." LOSE $25,000 DAMAGE SUIT Victim's Heirs Sue Railway; Another Suit Lost Philadelphia, Miss.—A suit in which the heirs of Charlie Coburn sued the G. M. & N. Railroad for $25,000 was decided in favor of the railroad. It was charged that Coburn was carried by his stop at Noxapater in a jim crow coach and was put off at Stallo and forced to walk back in bad weather resulting in his contracting pneumonia, which caused his death. It was the first civil case of consequence that a Neshoba County jury has decided in favor of a railroad.

The questions are being constantly asked.—Why this multitude of Negro aspirants to be Alderman in the 3rd, 4th and 5th Wards of Gary? What does it mean? In order to face these questions with any degree of satisfaction one must go a bit further and consider directly and indirectly the reasons which the individuals have for aspiring and yet still further back than these are other questions;— What are the qualifications of the CHURCH BUILDER STILL ABSENT: DEATH PROBE WITHOUT RESULTS YET But Mt.

Zion Baptist church contractor, have not yet resulted in anything definite, special investigators stated today. Although temporarily baffled, they are positive that soon they will be able to state with assurance whether Bowdry is dead, as they believe, or kidnapped himself, as police believe. It is nine weeks since Bowdry disappeared from his home at 1729 Virginia street where he lived with his wife and family. Not a word has been heard of him although the factional strife in the church caused by the letting of a $11,000 contract to him has been decided in court in favor of the trustees, his supporters. Meanwhile work on remodeling the church is proceeding as if Bowdry were here to direct it. Prior to Judge Crite's decision a few weeks ago work had begun but stopped.

Upon what grounds do they expect to challenge the suffrage of the men and women within the boundaries of their wards? And, finally, there must be answered these questions;—Is it not a fact that many of them are so absolutely ignorant and ill prepared that if they were elected to the position as councilman they would not only bring disgrace, discouragement and embarrassment to the entire Negro population of this community, but would reflect discredit upon this progressive, intelligent city of which we are all justly proud. Is it not also true that there are other aspirants whose preparations unfit them for the position and whose entanglements and records in the past disqualify them to be the representatives of honest, law-abiding, respectable citizens? It has further been charged from many sources, that certain candidates are being supported and paid to run by certain political leaders who are seeking to vindicate themselves in the positions which they take in supporting and justifying graft, dishonesty and disloyalty to race enterprises. It has been my purpose for calling attention to these conditions only that my readers may appreciate how subtle and apparently hidden hands of the enemies of the best good of not only the colored people of the city of Gary but who would destroy all Gary for the furtherance of their own selfish purposes. At this time I will ask that you will make your own investigations regarding these matters, trace the propaganda which you receive back to its source and determine for yourself if the political giants behind these aspirants are not seeking for personal power or glitter of gold. Also note and check up and see how racially inclined some of these leaders are in turning their patronage from Negro enterprises to those conducted by opposite races.

DALY STEPS IN CITY RACE AS JUDGE CANDIDATE Has Been a Member of City Family Here; Long a Lawyer Announcement of his candidacy for the republican nomination of city judge in the May 7 primaries was made to- day by J.

Though Mrs. Washington produced no letters in court she claimed that this withered old man, with bald Pate, paid ardent court to her and cop: ied poems, and wrote honest-to-good- hess mushy love-notes ! The court-room was in an uproar and Mrs. Washington sobbed heart- brokenly, that the spectators might laugh, but it was all pitifully sad to her. “He—he had called m-me the sunshine of his life.” Denied Love The defendant, Frank Thees, who is an insurance collector, detracted not ‘one jota from the general mirth, The ‘old Lothario was denying his love, or that he ever paid court to Mrs, Wash- ington, He admitted, however, that he had been a constant caller at her home since the early part of 1927.

This clinic, the first sponsored by any local Negro church, is the idea of Rev. W. L. Lovelace, pastor of the church Dr, Bingham and the deacon board. It was first presented to the congregation at the Sunday morning services. The 900 people there heartily approved the plan. Although it is planned to enlarge the clinic to include older people as soor as it is seen that the public is sincerely interested, the first sessions will be for children from the ages of three tc twelve. “We are great believers in. prevent- ive dentistry,” Dr, Bingham stated “We believe that if we start the chil out right and get him in the habit of coming to dentists at an early age, he will continue that throughout his life and form the habit of proper care o his teeth.” ‘ The clinic will be held on Saturday only at first.

I don't know what affect it has—I suppose it has the samie effect on women as on men, However, I was raised to be used to women smoking, as my —great-grandmother smoked a pipe, and I don't think a bet- ter woman lived. Joseph Sanford, 1833 Adams street: 1 don't object to a woman smoking if she has the same craving to smoke as a man, but why cultivate a habit that isn’t natural just because someone else does it? Anyway, few women really smoke—they simply draw in little smoke and blow it out of their mouths, which shows that they don’ really enjoy it.

SHOVER: ne Ata! 3 Elections Ain’t What They Used to Be; No Free Cigars or Garden Seed But Some Drinks By FRANK Elections ain't what they used to be. It has been a heck of a time since politicians passed around cigars that reminded one of corned beef’s famous lunch counter companion, and you got by mail lettuce sced that raised some of the most beautiful radishes you HelAS I believe I'd enter the race for alderman from either the Third, Fourth, or Fifth ward here if there was anybody there I particularly disliked and wanted to try to keep out of office. With no free cigars and garden seed being handed out by politicians, it should be a lot cheaper now to run for office. But the thing that costs these days is the drinks you have to buy to get the voters insensible enough not to care who they vote for and give you a break. About the only way a lot of people can let the public know just what size fools they are is by running for office. Many of those who call themselves running for office seem to the pub- lic to be giving nothing more speedy or exciting than a backward crawl, li I can convince myself that I ought to waste $5,000 in order to geta $1,000 a year job, I'll enter the race. A diplomatic voter can stop working this year and get by real well. With the number of candidates out in the ring, he can appear to be back- ing each prospect and get his lodging from one, his drinks from another, and his meals from a third—if he doesn’t object to sauer kraut and wieners. Some office-seeker ought to get in touch with me. I might be useful. I am used to voting often, and twice to a precinct is no particularly diffi- cult job in Gary, Who'll be the first one to bid high for me? i By FRANK Calumet Post No. 99, the American Legion, meets Saturday evening at eight o'clock at 1984 Broadway, home of Hunton Branch Y.

The contractors wanted $1,000 for the job but the city was unwilling to pay that amount. Since that time, the board of safety has received numerous bids from dif- ferent companies and announce that a satisfacjory sum has been agreed upon. It remains only to have the necessary funds apportioned, which may be ob- tained at the next meeting of the city ‘council. | Should rain enter a mail box invent- ed by a Baltimore man the water jwould be drained off through an pen- ing in its back without injuring its Poem Our Town FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1929 By LOUISE WHITTED Everybody knows what a charming ensemble of young women the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority can boast, and no less delightful are the entertain- ments which they arrange.

No, not at—well, let us start at the beginning. Forty members attended the meet- ing of the Business and Professional Men's club at Stewart house when W. W. Cooke, Wm. C.

And now they have divided them- selves into two groups—the Bulls and the Tigers. (The writer would suggest that the wives be permitted to classi- fy them.) The contest will be con- ducted on attendance records, and the Tigers have 123 points while the Bears have 70 points, Dr. Wood heads the Tigers and Mr. Hightower the Bears.
