By WIL V. NEELY

KEYHOLE ~RLASH! =A few days
ago a welj known gent of Flint discovered that vandals had ~practically ruined his. car after damaging
it with a knife. The gent became
nighly suspicious of anothe: man, |
and as a result, the other man was
jailed. Now let me say before I begin, that newspaper ethics and
regard for the general public d
not permit me to mention nr
However this column is always
en the alert and with no willful
Person~s |
Treputation,.we shalll proceed with |

~the facts. The man under suspic
ion spent almOst five days in
jail waiting for someone to make.
up his mind who the guilty party really owas. According-to the
grapevine the gent who; did the
complaining is going to be very |
surprised when the truth is known.
The detective division of the Flint.
police department is in.no way
asleep on the case. They are going to solve it and when -ihey do
somebody~s face is certainly going
to be very red. Felks you ain~t seen
nothin~ yet. Just wait until the
over-excited gent finds out that
the person who did the damage
was NOT the man who was arrested, but somebody closer to
him than he knows. It~s tOo bad
such thjngs happen, The Negro
race is having troubles enough
without jumping into hasty conclusions just because the imagination runs wild.

Overheard at Magnus Clarks~
Place: Mamie Bean: I.sure like to
sit around the table with a lot of
folks. ~Sorta makes it seem like
home,~

et eee

Mrs. Rose Wood~s daughter, Norma Lée, who has been ill for several days, wants to say that -she
isn~t just playing hookey from
school. We shouldn~t think so, especially since Norman Lee receives
very good grades fn her classes.
Although feeling badly, she managed to eat a meal consisting of
everything from soup to nuts. She
then tOpped the whole thing. ot
with a huge piece of pie.

Folks are beginning to call atterney Van Dyne a cowboy becasue he manages to loop a sticker
On almost everybody~s car. He
certainly deserves the post of circuit judge and if it was left to me,
he~d even have a sticker on the
tep of the highest building in

4town.

Unknown voice on the telephone?
~We like your cOlumn very much,
only you should. include more
scandal. Sgt make it.
Thanks. a -lét, but this column. has
a policy. of avoiding. scandal and
~he limited space alolted to us makes
it impossible to write too much. at
a time.

* Keyhole Scocp: One of the most
prominent couples in Flint will soon
be getting. a divorce because the
hubby was seen skylarking in a
Detroit beer joint when his wifey
thought he was at work. The other
lady in the case happened to be
the wife~s own cousin,

Keyhole tcpics: Police Chie?
Anderson: * ~We certainly would
have more Negro police if we had
the funds.~ Incidently, the chief~s
home town of Wichita, Kansas has
recently retired two Negro policemen and added two more. On top
ef that, Wichita has an,all Negro
fire station. How about a colored
fire patrol for Flint?

Which is about all till next week,
foiks. But remember do your
Easter shopping early.

~W. V.'N,

A STRANGE thing happened in
Flint last week. It happened
right before the eyes of every
Negro and white person in this
city. It was something that the
whole state and United States is
still talking about. A Negro by the
name of Roy M. Vandine Van
Dyne came very very close to the
nomination of. Circuit Judge of
Genesee county. The only thing
that stopped him was perhaps
eleven of twelve votes. Imagine
that~if you can. Just about a
dozen people who call themselves
citizens and voters were too lazy
to go to the polls.

Perhaps it was a little too cold
outside or perhaps it was just a
little too much trouble. Regardless
6f what the excuse, the Negroes of
Flint will be remembered as the
ones who let the first great chance
they had for representation go out

}. the window. Let~s stop blaming the

white people for the fact that we
are overlooked. It~s about time we

| began getting the dust off our own |
feet. We sincerely hope Mr. Van |)

Dyne will not be the least - dis
YOUR correspondent asked a few
person what their idea was about
the night clubs in this city. The

thing like this: ~We pay a cover

All indications point towards this

this side of Flint has. ever had. An
average of sixteen boys attend the
meetings at the Center each Wedmesday eveninig from*6:30.to 8:00

o~clock. All boys who are interested in this. activitiy are allowed. to
attend meetings until the registration s completed, but after the boys
receive their credentials which
makes-them registered Scouts, only
the -boys- who are not registered
will. not be allowed. to. participate
in Scouting activities with ~the

Valentine Party last Thursday at

p.m. This-is one of the newly or

two-bits. Then too, the public is
looking for a lot more for their two
bits than the old-time twisting and

Squirming that used to be all the~

go. The day of the half-naked
Snake dance is gone. Give the
public a little more of Marcellus
and the man who imitated a drunk
at the Golden Leaf ~club recently,
and you~re going to be playing to
packed houses in Flint instead of

Saginaw.

a splendid job with these girls.

Girl Scout. Troop No. 117, under
the leadership.of Beulah McGee, is
also progrssing nicely. The Is
seem to be very much interested in
their Troop activities which is an
indication of progress.

Girl Scout Troop No. 110 at the

The girls seem to be always busy

The ultimate aim is to have all
these troops, both boys and girls,

will bring about the necessary
distinction that will make the boys
and girls feel proud that they are
Scouts, This, of course. will afford
the stimulus toward making them
better Scouts and will, at the same
time, create a desire on the part
of other boys and girls to become
