From Mrs. Ruby R. 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.

Hotel,” Bolden said. Holden ex
plained, “I still can’t enjoy those
fine places because 1 don’t have
the money. 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.
