Slevin, Las Vegas, Nevada: I remember my home in Greenwich Village near the Hudson River. The roadways were paved with heavy cobble stones, sidewalks lined either side. The small two story family dwell ings were built of red brick. My father owned a three-story hotel with a saloon cr. the main floor. As a small child, I did not like the city streets and brick houses. I didn’t like the narrow, dark al leyways where cats seemed to swarm around the garbage pails. All seemed depressing to me, except for the man who used to come around with his hand organ and his tiny monkey with its little red hat, as well as the man with his hand-cart full of goodies. These consisted of candied applet, flavored chopped ice, and ice cream sandwiches. These I loved best of all and I wish I could find the same kind today. The ice cream was wedged between two crispy cone-like wafers. While playing on the sidewalk with other small children, I was suddenly terrified into action as I heard a heavy rumbling on the cobblestone pavements. As I looked up the street from my tiny height, I saw three white horses abreast pounding toward me. Be hind them the smoke stack of the bright red engine was billowing smoke, sparks, and echoing shrB whistles. I was glued to the sidewalk for a second; then with terror in my pounding heart I started to rua home. I did not stop until I had reached the second floor, from where 1 watched the horses pass in a more peaceful frame of mind. They were the first fire engines 1 had ever seen 1 dreamed about those horses coming at me for years afterward, believe it or not. (Srnii rolitributinn* In (hi* column t„ r ■- Old Inner.

What we got to do now is get our rightful share of these jobs. Take Broughton Street, we should have at least 35 percent of the jobs. I mean from the top to the bottom and from BANKS to Street Cleaners. Negroes make up 34 percent of the population. Most white pe* - pie shop at Shopping Centers; therefore, Negroes make up a very shoppers. Yet, the white folk have just about all of the job*. We won the right to use many *>f the down town facilities by being beaten, jailed, tried and sentenced, now we must submit ourselves to any type of danger, and suffering to win our equal share of the DOL LAR BILL.
