eternal vigilance is the price of success, this time through
the action of A. J. Hammond, undertaker in the Fifth Ward,
. who almost single-handedly has fought through to the place
where it looks like Schwartz Street is going to be topped.
The diligence and the success are--------------

“Hon. Mayor Neal Pickett
City Hall
Houston, Texas
“Dear Sir:
“On Wednesday, June 3, 1942,
I read in the Houston Chronicle
that an ordinance appropriating
$31,190 to pay the city’s share of the.
cost of topping sections of 26 streets
was adopted. When I went to the
City Engineering Department to ob-
tain a petition, I was told by one
in authority that when the required
amount of 'money was deposited
with the City, work would start
on the street within ten days, I
took the petition and immediately
started to work, contacting all prop-
erty owners of Schwartz street,
some of them being out of the city
and state. It took me about a year
to complete this task, and on or
about August 8, 1941, I deposited
with the City Engineering Depart-
ment the sum of $1067.36, total
amount due from property owners
from C. Slayton, Secretary to the
Mayor:
C. A. PICKETT
Mayor
Houston, Texas
“A. J. Hammond
1018 Schwartz Street
Houston, Texas
“Recently you wrote regarding
the topping of Schwartz street, and
our Director of Public Works ad-
vises as follows:
“‘We are depositing with the
City Controller the money which
has been submitted by the petition-
ers signing the petition for the im- ,
provement of Schwartz street, and
when these checks clear through
the banks and we are sure that the
property owners’ share of the work
is available, an appropriation for
this work will be requested.’
"Yours very truly.
(Signed) C. Slayton,
Secretary to the Mayor”
for the topping of above street . . .
“The 26 streets listed for top-
ping are much better kept streets
than Schwartz street, and some to
be topped only two or three blocks,
and the money, for some of them
was deposited with the City after
August 5. 1941. Why did not
Schwartz come in order? Is it be-
cause it is located in a colored com-
munity? We are' not asking' any
special favor in this matter, we are
only aksing for fair play.
Yours very truly.
A. J. Hammond”

: Wives Without
i Sugar Books
May Apply Now
Washington. — Housewives who
were not issued ration books be-
cause they had excess sugar may
now apply for them if they have
used up their surplus in home can-
ning, the Office of Price Admini-
stration said.
The regulations are revised to
conform with the recently announc-
ed provision that one pound of
I sugar could be obtained for each
home. Housewives will have to re-
four quarters of fruits canned at
port how much fruit they canned
in applying for additional or sup-
plementary rations.
The new regulations became ef-
fective June 19.
Blackberries, boysenberries and
pineapples were added, meantime,
to the list of frozen preserved
fruits for which sugar may be ob-
tained.
Another amendment to the sugar
regulations requires beet sugar re-
fneries to set aside 15 per cent of
each months production for a pool
from which supplies may be deliv-
ered only under the OPA's direc-
tion.
of the women everywhere have
grown and prospered year by year,
from Texas, Louisiana and Ark-
ansas.
This proved to be the greatest
meeting in the history of the As-
sociation, with representatives from
the various beauty houaes of Amer-
ica presenting to the assembly
genuine substitutes for those pre-
parations vital to beautiful women
that have been limited during the
present crisis.
On Monday, June 22, most of the
morning session was taken by reg-
istration, devotions and the intro-
duction of faculty demonstrations

ting the Clairol Company; Mrs.
