the various forms of hereditary
blindness.
Eyes and lives of babies anil
young people are being saved,

the population is approaching a
majority and among them, Dr.

j a corresponding increase in the
blindness that results from high

; also be more cataracts in an aging
population.

Again we repeat, that if San Antonio is to maintain |
its more or less enviable reputation of being a law abiding
and peaceful community, something will have to be done
about these carriers of murder instruments, which they are
so prone to use, and then when the occasional inevitable

discouraged or to be fooled by sim-
ple tricks. He had a very great re-
spect for the smartness of that
hunter. He knew that he couldn't
afford to be careless for one little
minute.
The certainty of danger sometimes
Is easier to bear than the uncertain-
ty of not knowing whether or not
there really Is any danger. Llght-
foot felt that if he could know just
whore the hunter was, he himself
would know better what to do. The
ihunter might have become discour-
aged and given up following him.
in that case he could rest and stop
worrying. It would be bet tier to
know that he was being followed
than not to I?no^ Rut how was he
to find out? Llghtfoot kept turn-
In <r this over and over In his mind
"I know what I'll do. I know 1
just what I'll do," said Llghtfoot to :
himself. "I'll find out whether or |
not that hunter is still following 1
me and I'll get a little rest. Good- j
ness knows, I need a rest."
Llghtfoot bounded away swiftly
and ran for some distance, then he
turned and quickly but very, very
quietly returned in the direction
from which he had just come, but a
little to one side of his old trail.
After a while he saw what he was
looking for, a pile of branches
which wood choppers had left when
they had trimmed the trees they
had cut down. This was near the
top of a little hill. Lightfoot went
up the hill and stopped behind a
pile of brush. For a few moments
J he stood there, perfectly still, look-
ing and listening. Then, with a lit-
tle sigh of relief he lay down, where,
without being in any danger of be-
ing seen himself, he could watch his
old trail through the hollow at the
bottom of the hill If the hunter
was still following him he would
pass along through that hollow in
plain sight.
For a long time Llghtfoot rested
comfortably behind the pile of
brush. There was not a suspicious
sound to show that danger was
abroad in the Green Forest. lie saw
Mr. and Mrs. Grouse fly down across
the hollow and disappear among the
trees on the other side. He saw
Unc* Billy Possum looking over a
hollow tree and guessed that Unc'
Billy was getting ready to go into
winter quarters. ITe saw Jumper
the Hare squat down under a low
hanging branch of a hemlock tree
and prepare to take a nap. He heard
Drummer the Woodpecker at work
drilling after worms in a tree not
far away. Little by little Llghtfoot
grew easy in his mind. It must be
that the hunter had become discour-
aged and was no longer following
him.

PROGRESS ... The I'lara theatre, for many a year a well known
play house In San Antonio, has given way io the march of progress.
Formerly known as the Queen, the I'laia lias served the public .or
lo! Hieso many years, and has rhangetl hamls and policy many
limes. In its heyday, its second balcony (peanut gallery) was the
favorite rendeivoua of many a young- blade anil his lady fair, hut as
time moved relentlessly on, that haven was finally closed anil then
reopened again, lint more accessible and far more comfortable "ceil-
ing" seats were available in newer houses, and so the Plaia passed
out of the lives of "sepia" San Antonians.
But as we passed by tile other day, and saw the old building
walled in anil heard workmen hammering away at lier aged silJes,
we could not help becoming reminiscent. But the old must make
way for the new, and tlie Plaza is no exception. Ihe old theatre
will become part of a remodeled and enlarged department store.
• • • * •
\E OI.DG TIMERS . . . When the floor was cleared of crutches,
anil graying beards were untangled, last week at the recreation
center, youth hail been served, and Ihe ago once again, like tlie dying
year of 1938, was on.its way out. The Olde Tymere basketball team
suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the up anil coming
youngsters of Wheatley high school basketball outfit. Rich in ex-
perience, and full of sclf-conlidenee, Ihe members of (lie Oldc
Tymer squad started the season with a flare of rare and ancient,
form which had some of tho spectators wondering if these stars of
yesteryears really could shine as brightly as of yore—but alas ami
anon, as the season grew, tlie old boys grew duller, and in the
last game seemed almost done for. But you never can tell, they
may yet find tlmt long sought for fountain where the elixir of life
flows freely, or they may wenil Iheir weary ways down to a certain
medico where rejuvenation is said to be a fact, then we may see
the poor fellows snap out of it and beat some of these youngsters
yet. Unless they do regain a little of what they had many years
ago in way of basketball play, they will have to accept the challenge
of one who calls herself "Jo", and play a team of timid young ladies
—and probably get the worst of the deal then.

Is accounted for chiefly by in-

NEW YORK OITY
In New York, Negroes with la-
conies between *1000 and $300C
spend for housing as much as, ot
more than, white families at cor-
responding income levels, but
spend more for clothing,
CHICAGO
Negroes in Chicago spend more
for clothing thnn those living in
New York city whose Incomes are
between $1000 or $3000.
CLOTHING
Negro families with yearly in-
comes between $750 and $2000, In
New \ork and Chicago, spend
relatively more for clothing than
white families with corresponding
incomes.
ATLANTA
In Atlanta, Georgia, Negro fam-
uli's with Incomes between $300
anil $750 reported a net surplus,
but tho white families did not on
the average report a surplus until
their incomes reached $2000. No-
gro families in Atiauta, Columbia,
Mobile, had larger insurance
premium payments than did whita
people in these cities, at most in-
come levels.
RENTS
When an American village house-
renting family sends the monthly
check to the landlords, It is likely
to be for some amount betwean
$10—$20. Average rents paid by
Negro families were less than half
as much as the cheaiiest rents of
any of the white village groups
studied, as shown in an analysis
of rental expenditures of
native Negro families living 1#
15 Georgia and South Carolina
villages, and in 19 North Caro-
lina and Mississippi villages. Kron
13 to 00 per cent of these Negro
families obtained living quartern
for payments of less than fire
ilollnrs monthly; and from 94 to
07 per cent paid less thnn tea
dollars. Average monthly rent*
were $4 and $5 respectively for Uie
two groups of villages studied.
RECREATION
In New York, Negroes spend at
much as whites for recreation,
on the same Income levels, but lo
Columbus, Ohio, Negro families
spend less than whites on the
same level.
MOVIES
The average Negro farmer's
family, of 2,209 families studied
in the Southeastern part of the
U. S., spent
one renting families and six home-
owning families lacked one or more
of the following facilities: inside
flush toilet, running hot water,
electrlo lights, and gas or elec-
tricity for cooking. Fifteen of the
familiaa had telephones. Seven
had cfcctrict refrigeration. Twelve
owned autos.
Thlrty-slx per cent of the fam
Hies had four or more members.
In 97 families the chief earner
was a semi-skilled or an unskilled
laborer. In the remaining fam-
ilies, the chief earner was n
clerical worker or skilled laborer.
The average income of the chief
earner was $935 which supplied | the year.
families stndled in the South-
east villages reported movie ex-

age of three dollars on movies for
the year; this represented 87 per

CONGRESS e . . Tlie United States ft ingress got under way this
week for what promises to be one of the hottest sessions ever seen
on Capitol II2II. With the Republican gains in tlie November elec-

deal policies are likely to receite stiff opposition from the strength-
ened Republican ranks and the anti-new deal Dmorrats that the
Roosevelt wheel-horses wer^pna ble to purge last fall.
The Wage-Hour bill is likely to come in for some sliarp re-
vamping, as is the spending sfoi"".! sponsored by tho White House.
And not to be denied Is the long fight to get some sort of legisla-
tion passed that will "regulate", lynching in this country. Two anti-
lynch bills are reported to be ready for the solons to argue and

men wlw was seated on last Tne day is at all ignorant of the press-
ing need to do something about tlie question of lynch law in America.
The President will have two new faces in his cabinet this
session due to the resignation ot two of his aides in the past few
weeks. Harry Hopkins, of WFA fame, replaces Daniel C. Roper, as
Secretary of Commerce^ and .frank Murphy, governor of Michigan,
steps into the post vaeated by Homer Cummings as Attorney-Gen-
eral. It is predicted that these two appointments, which liave to be
cinftrmed by the Senate, ara g|ins to serv(1 as a bone over which
there Is likely to be a lot of .Wailing; however, it is expected that
the appointments will stand In the end.
.As the new Congress goes into i|8 huddle prior to its first play
of the game, it Is faced with one of the biggest deficits on record
as well as with a public deht Hiat is bigger than at any time in
the history of the nation. This fact is likely to cause conservatives

OUR PASTOR
A littie program at our church was held.
Twas trying to rain, but the crowd was swelL
One deacon stood up, slapped his hands together,
Called the group to order, and remarked about tho
weather.
Of course he asked the pastor to say a word or two,
Just tlie usual thing as they always do.
The pastor rose, and after greeting everyone,
lie mentioned Sister "Somebody" that had come,
Though she had been on tho stay at-home list
And had no idea how much she was missed.
"I'm very glad to see lirother Amos here.
Why we haven't heard from you in nearly a year.'1
Then said.lie guessed.he had better stop talking,
As the congregation bad begun talking and walking.
But he went right on Just talking away
About all the rallies uud Dollar Day.
That the people were getting restless was easily
seen,
I thought, too, tlie pastor acted pretty mean.
The change wasn't much I had paid at the door,
But, I did want him to get off tho floor.
I hope the next time they put him on for a song
And perhaps he won't try to sing that long.
He said: "Wake up! Sleeping In*church Is wrong
If you are sleepy, home la where .uu belong."
Nov/ had it been dinner he was invited to
lie wouldn't have had so much talking to do.
I love my pastor, so don't get me wrong,
lie justs makes me MAD when he talks so long.

Nineteen hundred and thirty-nine
I greet you with sincerity-
But I am wondering
What you have in store for me.
What have you In that big book
With its twelve long chapter*'
With three hundred and sixty-live pages
Tell me, is it tears or laughter?
Nineteen hundred and thirty-nine
We gladly welcome you here;
WJen you turn your pages daily
Do comfort, and calm those that ft ;r.
Do give the world happiness
Cheer every heart that sighs.
Chase away their gloom and
Wipe tears from weeping eyes.
Do bring back prosperity, '
And make depression go,
Put a song In every heart
A« they wonder to and fro.
And when your time is up.
And the end comes to your stay
May the rest of the world, with me regret
To see you go your way.
