January 22 was set apart as “Ameri­canism Day" and programs were held in many places in the states in which Prince Hall Masons oper- rate.

A bill sponsored by Senators Hu­bers Humphrey. Democrat, of Min­nesota, and Wayne Morse, Repub­

Senator Humphrey, in urging ap­proval of his bill, differed with Sen­ator Kilgore over this provision. Senator Humphrey said he believed

' that where the life of the bread­winner of a family has been taken through mob violence, there was

that damages should be assessed against a county or a local com­munity bi cases of mob violence.

My Mk>* Comrades: •' As you know, for some time past

our Poet has been endeavoring to obtain a Hut. The time has now come to put up* or shut up.

It la a criminal disgrace ami an indictment against all members of this Post, some five handled strong, that we do not have the semblance of a decent meeting plaoe Small­er Posts, colored and white have built or bought Ruts. If we do not secure a Hut in 18W then we have failed and failed miserably, and It would seem that some of the wont things white folks say about Negroes are true.

No doubt you have heard the ex­pression used that "Negroes are a rtee of people who buy what they want (luxuries) and beg for what they need i necessities' and if we do not get a Hut in i85u we will prove our actions that It is true.

1 have a solution, though I must admit that the plan is not my own invention. It Is a solution of Com­mander Grover C. Burson, primari­ly, his official staff and the Ex­ecutive Committee of Post No. 27.

The solution Is very simple, it runs thus:

1. We have a Hut Fund bank abcount on deposit in the Tri State Bank of Memphis, approxi­mately <1,300 as a start.

2 We have a membership of some 500 members: we are asking and expecting each of these mem­bers to contribute a» a minimum contributing the very trifling sum of $10.00 each toward this Hut.

This will give us a total of $6,200 which will be a sufficient amount on the down payment of a build­ing and some of its initial furnish­ings.

2. Commander Burson has ap­pointed fifty captains, who have 9 members on their lists whom they

Republicans Aid In

Administration Triumph. BY LOUIS LAUTIER

. WASHINGTON, D. G. —<NNPA)— Despite assertions that President Truman’s civil rights program was not involv­ed, civil rights legislation figured to a great extent in the Administration’s victory in the House rules change proposal

The issue was whether the House would continue under the 21-day discharge rule or restore to the House Rules Com­mittee, controlled by a coalition of Southern Democrats and Republicans, its old power to bottle up legislation.The proposal was defeated by a

vote of 236 to 183. Sixty-four ReJ publicans, 171 Democrats and one American Labor, many of whom be­lieved the civil rights program would be endangered by a change, voted to keep the present rule.

Voting for the proposal of Rep­resentative Gene Cox. Democrat, of Georgia, were 85 Democrats, all

i from below the Mason Dixon Line, and ninety-eight Republicans.

The Administration victory would not have been possible without the

I aid of Republicans. Many of those ' who refused to follow Representa­

tive Joseph W. Martin Jr., of Mas­sachusetts, the Minority Leader, were swayed to vote against the Cox proposal in the conviction that a vote for it would be a vote against

j civil rights.

Under the existing rule, adopted last January, the chairman of a

I legislative committee reporting a bill can bring it up on the second or fourth Mondays of» any month if the Rules Committee fails to>df within twenty-one days to setid the measure to the floor.FOWER TO PIGEONHOLE

The old rule gave the Rules Com­mittee power to pigeonhole any leg­islation that a majority of the com­mittee opposed. The only pigeon-

j holed legislation could be pried out of the Rules Committee was by a discharge—petitioned by 218 mem-

| berz.If the“ Cox resolution to restore

the old rule had been adopted, the coalition of four Southern Demo­crats and four Republicans could have side-tracked President Tru­man's whole legislative program. The Rules Committee has a mem- kwiMr-Kl— —* 1 •

TO TAKE HONOR

"Noboly at the regirtration office knows any of them. But the regis­trar of voters knows all of us. Our automobiles, our gas, and our time was spent in taking Negroes to the registration office in large numbers, so that our people might make a creditable showing, and now these so-called big shots are trying to take tlie honor from us."

The Independents alleged that the ' brass hat«" of the GPPVL had met and collaborated with political can­didates for major offices, and had not informed them of what had tak­en p<ace, relative to what the Negro might expect for hfe political sup­port of the more than 30 candidates in the field.

He was carrying a card from the YMCA in Norfolk. A 32 calibre re­volver rested under his head, near a gaping hole made by one of the bullets. An identification card from the Westinghouse Electric company In Philadelphia was also on his person.PRINTS MATCHED

COURT RULES VICTOR IN

DISPUTED BALLOT CASE By SAMUEL F, PERRY, JR. |

Boston - <anp> -, superior •Court Judge J. Arthur Baker ruled ’ last week that Laurence H. Bans; candidate for city council in Wand 9. the heavily populated Negro ward,-h»i- been elected over Coun-

. cilor Daniel F. 8ulllvan, who was seeking re-election.

However, Baker's decision, which gave the elation to Banti by 16 votes and accused an election offi­cial of deliberately marking Banks votes for Sullivan, did not seat Banks as a city councilor. Immedi­ately the Boston City Council met. went into executive session and then consulted Assistant Corpora­tion Counsel James Kelleher on the Banks-Sullivan case Kellehe^mled that Sullivan cannot be recognized as a member of the council until final appeal of the court case. Acting on that opinion, the council subsequently wait back to open session witn Sullivan as the Coun­cilor from Ward 8.‘ Meanwhile, the election commis,

sinners were in their quarters and took no action on the dectahn by

I

Judge Baker. Banks himself then conferred with George Fingold and Matthew S Heaphy, his attorneys. Fingold sent word to the Section Commission he will appear there later to press the qlalm that the commission should certify Banka immediately as the winner. •

Judge Baker ruled that Of 34 di­sputed ballots, 11 are to be counted for Bulliv^n 22 for Banks and one Is to be discarded because the vot­er signed his name.to It.

At the recount of the close con­test. Sullivan ins given 4.377 win including the 11 ballots which Banks protested Banks at the recount was given 4371 votes, which did not include 22 disputed ballots which- the judge ruled should be credited to Banti.

Judge Baker ordered a writ of mandamus be issued directing the Election Commission to certify Banks as legally elected councilor. It is an appeal from this ruling to the State Supreme Court which thus far is holding up the seating of Banti 1» the council.

Answer:It seems as though you have a

habit of permitting the fellows to consume so very much of your time. Such long, long courtships! Risky In several ways!You did not say that you love

either one. The fellow who gam­bles and flirts too would give you plenty about which to worry.Let me tell you this. It is pretty

tough growing old and still older all alone. So if you ever intend to get married at all, why not give boy friend number two a matri­monial chance?

Do not do so, however, if you feel that you do not love him.

Eleanor

Aaswer:Your husband is just neaping

the responsibility of supporting yM and the kiddies, because you art letting him. He cannot legal­ly. pass up that responsibility.He should feel ashamed to ex-

pact your people to support his family. Tell him that as soon as he provides a comfortable placr jph him for you and the chil-

■An, you will be glad to eome and MR with him.

Write him a brier letter and re­mind him that if he does not be- gta supporting you and the kid- dies Immediately, you «III be farced to go to court and ask fur separate maintenance Du not per-

- mil him to hitch-hike on your-.parents any longer! Eleanor

Dear Eleanor;I am a lady in my thirties and

I have been going with a man for ' just about eight years. He says that

he wants to marry me but he will net let other women alone, and he gambles.

I have also gone with another man ( for twelve years. He has been away

for a long time but has returned \ asking me to marry him.

He has recently begun to drink because I wouldn't marry him. Which of these men. should I take

Dear Eleanor: -I am a lonely girl 16 years old.

I have been going with a boy who is 16 also,

I I have other boy friends but I love this one best of all. I have been going with him since May. He has been calling me every day, but when he calls me, I scarcely talk to him. I know that I haven’t been fair to him and I am sorry.

I want to call him and ask him to forgive mt. but I don't know what to say.

1 am in the eighth grade at school and want to quit. Will you please tell a lonely girl how to get her boy friend back?Answer:

Invite him to come to see you. Name the hour and the date — that's a good start.Ethically, a girl has the right to

have dates with other boy» until she becomes engaged to one cer­tain boy, No apologies are neces­sary! •1

Do not eve* think of quitting school. Study harder and stay iu school for if you quit school be­fore finishing high school and

Beauty Griefs Can’t Be Endured With Wrinkles

not wrinkle«. Some smiling, bright-eyed optimists call them “expression lines.” That is no comfort to the woman who has them. "Expression, nothing!" she thinks. She could have an expressive face without them, probably did have for many years before time had to touch her portrait with sharpfingers. ,

, Bv CARL DITON Fur ANP ( NEW YORK iANP) Marian'

Anderson, Wirld-fanious contralto, gave her annual winter concert al Carnegie last Sunday before a large and devoted audience.

Miss- Anderson sang groups of songs by Handel and Schubert, a Verdi Aria and a set by American composers, to wit; Samuel Barber, Samuel Zlmballst, Howard Swanson and Charles F. Griffith. Arrange­ments by Hall Johnson. Hamilton Forrest and Edward Boalner brought up the customary rear.

The artist did her best work in Handel's "The Trumpet is Calling," Schubert's "Auf der Bruck" and the Verdi Aria "Madre, Pietosa Ver- glne*' from “La Forsa def Destlno," freed as it were from the shackles of simple lyricism, which added so much to her popularity at this stage of her career. Having sounded the depths of success in the formal con­cert, it does seem plausible that a venture by this endeared idol in an operatic role would not only, prove Interesting but refreshing.'

The accompaniments of Franz Rupp, especially in the opening group, were al times exquisite In texture. And the contemporary songs of Barber and Zlmballst were aesthetically most noteworthy.

Bv MARK HYMANPHILADELPHIA - |ANP) -

White residents of a Philadelphik area was said to have threatened to bomb property j recently bought by a Negro nurse Mrs. Juanita Green, last week.

Mrs. Green, who operates a nurs­ing home in the city said that after her hearing before the Philadelphia Zoning commission last Tuesday morning, both women and men have been calling her home and using the word "nigger" to her They have said that they "Don't want any nig­gers in our neighborhood.”

The calls' actually began before the hearing Mrs. Green said. Even these people called names, but none threatened to bomb the home. She said that the four-story structure which she hopes to convert into a modern nursing home was damaged by vandals after the calls and liiat most of the plumbing was removed.

At the hearing Tuesday morning, approximately 50 persons from the 17th and Spring Garden area ap­peared to testify against the estab­lishment of a nursing home in the aren An undertaker pointed to the traffic hazard saying that the old people would be endangered by pass­ing autos. Ope landlord said tills owner of 1901-05 Bpnng Garden St. said that this was an area for apart­ment houses only.

The counsel for the complainants said that the noise of the sick pa­tients, the coming and going of de­livery trucks, ambulances and visl-1 tors would create a noise and park­ing problem.

When pennit ted to speak, Mrs.Green told the commission that as, far as traffic was concerned, none of her patients would walk the streets alone if at all. She said that there was ample space in the rear of the building for all deliv­eries and visitors' cart.

The healing was .shocked when she openly charged her prospective "neighbors" with not wanting hea In the vicinity because she was col­ored. She pointed to the phone calls and the wrecked property.

John McShain, chairman of the • conunission, rebuked her openly for

bringing in the race angleH He said the commission did not decide on issues with any bearing on race dr color.

Mrs. Green shouted at the com­missions "If I am not permitted to operate my home there, I'll open up a home for colored Ol's.

The case was dismissed and the petition signed by the whites in the area in question was taken under advisemqnt. <

When interviewed, Mrs. Green said if her plans are rebuffed by the commissioh, and since one of the main objections to her home is that this is an apartment house area, she will open an apartment for GIs with no less than two chil­dren each.

The second wave of threatening calls began Tuesday evening fol­lowing the hearing. Mrs. Green, who lives with her husband, Luther, at the Hamilton St. address, said that the callers were vile In their use of the word Negro and made bomb-

Ing threats and also said they would buy up the mortgage.

Mrs. Green who holds a regto- tered r.urse's certificate from the State of Pennsylvania, told report­ers, that she feels qualified to op­erate any such home anywhere in the city.

She. also, related phe resented the “weak way they tried to prwe their case" by suggesting to UM commission that this wu not the place tor a nursing home and that the area did not provide adequate sunlight and air. 4

When lut contacted, the nurss said that despite the threat!, she was determined to see the project through.

Muriel Rahn Sings Role - The Barrier

NEW YORK—<NNPA) - Murid Rahn sang the role of Cora beauti­fully in the musical drama, "The Barrier," based on the play, “Mu­latto," by Ungston Hughes, which opened’last Wednesday night in the Brander Matthews Theater at Co­lumbia University for a limited en­gagement of ten performance!

Mr. Hughes, whose play, “Mulat­to," was produced on Broadway in 1885, wrote the libretto for the new opera.

The story centers around a Geor­gia plantation owner, his colored housekeeper. Cora, and the eldest

| of the four children he has had by her. This boy, Bert, refuses to ac­cept his place as Cora's son, which is that of a colored person In the South.

Of Miss Rahn. Howard Taubman, music critic of the New York Tim»,

. said she gave a "stunning perform- lance.'* adding:

"She brings a personal dignity and sincerity to the part, and her singing is not only accurate and full-blooded but charged with dra­matic cogency. Miss Rahn's Cora is the core of the piece — Us fire and artistic conscience.'*

'llie Columbia Opera Workshop presented the play, giving it the advantage of a stylist and profes­sional staging.

Dr. Russell’s retirement wa6 effective October 28, 1949, but his announcement has been ' withheld pending the election of a successor by the Board of Trustees.

Dr Russell’s illness is not recent. He was taken-til suddenly during the summer of 1946 and underwent a major operation. It is believed that he returned to the duties of the office too soon after the opera­tion and that as a result, his recov­ery was seriously retarded. During the summer of 1948 he suffered a set back and was hospitalized for a

I attended tlie moat interesting eiub meeting the other day — ana came away with so many new ideas for my home, that I'd like to tell you about it. The entire program was completely fascinating — "The Story of Glass and Home Decorat­ing”—which our chairman, and a group of six members whom »he had selected, presented following a com­plete program guide furnished by the Pittsburgh Plate Gias* Com­pany.

The afternoon just flew by as our members told us the complete history of glass from its first dis­covery by a group of Phoenician sailors up to its many uses today. One very interesting part of the pro- Kam was the presentation of three

autiful fail colored wall charts showing how glass can lie used for decorating in today's home. These, too, were part of the material furn­ished by the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company and prepared by Theresa Bootn Wells, the noted club auth­ority

All of us were especially eager to get decorating suggestions for our own homes — and were certainly not disappointed—for the members who participated in the program showed us 101 way» in which glass can be used to make our homes more oon- venient, as well as more beautiful. » rm chairman of another club meeting scheduled toon for a dif­ferent group of women, and I’m planning to obtain thia same ma­terial to present to this group.

Old Man weather has put his "sun suit" on and we can start on first base.

With old man weather donning his “sun suit," it seems at this stage of our weekly trips around the hassocks that we are about ready, to start sprinting ofi the in­itial station Yes, fans, spring is not too far off and it won't be long when well begin sending our charges through their daily train­ing sessions at Martin Stadium.

And in tune with the current mid-summer weather this, is as good a time as any to give you u preview of the 1950 edition of our Memphis Red Sox. The hose will have back with them this year that pitching sensation, Isaiah Harris, who has been named last

1 season as the strike out King of the Negro American League,

j Scouts from every major league team has been after Harris, and Dr. W S. Martin said that he

would surrender his contract to the team that meets his selling price. Harris took the crown 17 times out of 21 starts. He has fan­ned as many as 18 players in a single game. He set a record by let-, ting two balls going to the out field.

Casey Jones, battery mate of Harris, will return to the Red Hose In the 1950 season. The big Sox catcher is expected to play a ma­jor role in the batting attack for our club this year. Casey’s batting average didn’t hit the .300 charm circle last seesor but the oig fel­low helped us plenty with his long ball smashes to drive runs across the plate.

What do you know? That is right Dr. W. S. Martin has me in the managial slot for the 1950 sea­son. The contract was signed Wed­nesday. afternoon. I will be seeing you at Martin Stadium and I’ll do my part to make the Red Sox nifty in fifty.

Branch Rickey’s reason for not trading Jackie Robinson was that he looked for <(ertain tell-tales which reveal when a player is | slipping, such as failure to pull the ball, and that he couldn't de- x tect such weaknesses in the pris­ed second-sacker The early settlement of Jackie's salary ques­tion according to Branch Rickey, IK was because “neither father or Jackie could afford to let the of cynical basebail people would issue drag interminably as a lot be pointing fingers and saying dad should never have signed a Negro ballplayer and that, now Jackie is on top, he is making dad sorry he broke a precedent.”

Signs For $100,000By PAT ROBINSON '

NEW YORK - Jackie Robinson, number one baseball player of the National League, and Joe DiMaggio, number one ball player in the American League, signed contracts yesterday, Jackie for $35,000 and the "Jolter” for $100,000.

Branch Rickey, Jr, had predict­ed an agreement between Jackie and his father Tuesday. He said then that neither Jackie nor his father could afford to let the issue drag interminably.

“ill tell you why dad wants a quick accord," said Branch, Jr. If this thing gets out of hand a lot of cynical baseball people will be pointing fingers and saying dad should never have signed a Negro ball player and that, now that Jac­kie is on top, he is making dad sor­ry he broke precedent."

Joe DiMaggio smilingly attached his signature to a contract calling for the same figure he received last year, and which continues him as the highest paid player the game ever had.

Robinson, also with a smile, sign­ed a contract and said it was "not all I asked for but highly satisfac­tory." The $35,000 was an increase of $15,000 over his 1949 stipend.

DiMaggio predicted another pen­nant lor his Yankees and Robinson was equally sure that the Dodgers will repeat in the National.

Robinson admitted he was “slight­ly overweight" but expected no trou­ble in shedding the surplus pound­age after he reaches training camp March 1. Meanwhile he is going to the Pacific Coast to make a movie based on his life.

Branch Rickey of the Dodgers said he was willing .to give Robinson a little extra time In reaching camp provided the picture isn’t finished by March 1.DiMaggio said he expects the Yanks to win the pennant again with the chief contention coming from the Red Sox, Indians and Ti­gers in that order.

Robinson predicted another pen­nant for the Dodgers with the Brav­es and Cardinals trailing in that order. Why? »>

"Well," he said, "Because the Braves will have^ three guy? who will be bearing'down all the way— Willard Marshall, Sid Gordon and Buddy Kerr, ex-Giants — and be- ciiu«o of their pitching.

"The Cardinals always are tough bwuuse they've got pitching.

“As for us, we’ve got a young ball club and -the year’s experience last year will have done some of them a lot of good.

"Our pitching surely is bound to be better because in some cases it could hardly have been worse. I don't see how we can lose.”

By the end of this season DiMag­gio will have drawn exactly $545,750 in salaries from the Yanks. He drew $7600 in 1936, his first year with

Homer Curry, popular Memphis basebail campaigner, was renamed to handle the managerial reins of the Memphis Red 8ox baseball club during the coming season, an­nounced today by Dr. W. 8. Mar­tin, president and owner of the lo­cal Negro American League entry.

Curry, known to fans as “Goose" because of his daring base running and flashy performances in the outfield, has been in Negro base­ball for more than 32 years. The Red Sox skipper who. led the Hose to fourth place during the 1949 campaign, demonstrated his demon feats on the base pathway by lead­ing the base bailers for five con­secutive years. He pilfered a total of 335 bases from 1933-38 and also ctgtped t/ie batting championship for six years.

Prior to managing the Red Sox last year, Curry also directed Dr. Martin's Hose in 1931 and 1938. The peppy Memphis pilot has al­so skipped the Oklahoma City, New York Black Yankees, Philadelphia Stars and Atlanta Black Crackers. During his coaching and manager­ial years the Memphis diamond di­rector has discovered several top­notch performers now owned by major leaguers Including Harry Simpson, Bill Cash and Frank Austin of the Cleveland Indians and George Crow, Boston Braves.

Curry, who ,ls ranked as one of the best handlers of pitchers is credited with grooming Isaiah Har­ris as the "pitching find" of the 1949 campaign. The young Parkin, Ark, lefthander under the tutelage

of Curry racked up 17 triumphs in 21 starts as a freshman hurler in the circuit.

Harris, who is being scouted by the New York Yankees and the Chicago Cubs, also proved to be the .strike out king of the league last season by averaging 12 per game and whiffing 18 batsmen on two different occasions.

Dr. Martin, who also serves as Administrator of Collins Chapel Hospital here, said that Harris " would probably be sold this year to the major league.

At the same time the Red Sfx owner announced that a complete face-lifting Job is currently be n<> done on the new »300.000 Martin Stadium including new painting and a general going over of the re­cently completed all-steel covered stadium. 7 --■■■■■the only owned and operated sta­dium in at Iowa banked now by the newly complet­ed Crump Boulevard: ■

-' In addition to regular Negro American League contests schedul­ed for the coming campaign, ar­rangements are also being made to stage several bffc time shows and band concerts, Dr Martin pointed out. The stadium is erected to ac­commodate more htan 8,600.

Dr. Martin and Manager Curry will leave here next week to re­present the Red Sox at the annual meeting'in Chicago on February 7 and 8 when the official schedule for the 1950 season will be arranged.

Melvin Young of the Fort Valley State Wildcats netted 25 points, Donald Owen tallied 17 points. Hamp Allen got 14. Emmett Brown tallied 5. The rest were scattered between Hart, Peek and Turner.

.A.Bingham said the rule was enact­

ed because of the ’’unanimous de­mand of every coach present for legislation that would protect play­ers from illegal use of elbows and resultant punishment.”

As the rule now stands, if the hand or forearm is used in blocking it must be kept below the shoulders of the opponent and be in .contact with the blocker’s body the whole time.

PINEHURST, N. 0—The rules committee of the National Athletic j Association Wednesday voted to loosen the already lax football sub­stitution rule by allowing five time-1 outs each half instead of four. |

The decision of the committee was announced Wednesday night by Chairman Bill Bingham, Harvard athletic director, at the conclusion of a three-day executive meeting at Pinehurst.

In a formal statement, Bingham said the controversial substitution | rule would be held Intact for "at least another year” ao its true worth could be evaluated.

The time-out decision Is the only, change in the 1949 ruling.

Bingham said coaches will be al­lowed to substitute freely while the clock is running until the five time­outs are exhausted.

Howeyer, in a move to step up the game, the committee ruled that the clock should be started when the ball la ready for play Instead of when it is snapped.

The group also voted to tighten the blocking rules in regard .to the use of elbows.

The committee also voted to pro- » vide special protection for the hold­er of a place-kick. Bingham said the new ruling is designed particu-M larly for polnt-after-touchdown at-" tempts. ;

The rule wiN give the same pro­tection to the holder as that pre­viously assured the kicker, with a 15-yard penalty going to the of­fending team.

The group also Junked three pro­visions which, it said, have fallen into disuse during the last decade. The discarded rules had prohibited the flying block and the flying tac­kle and provided for the lair cAch.

On other reoommendattons sub­mitted by the American Coaches Association, the committee detided:

That the coin-toesing ceremony to determine goals and receiving team be staged no less than 10 mi­nutes before gametime. (The coach­es wanted the ceremony to be held 15 minutes before the game so that the starting line-ups could te an- nounced). ■

That the realignment Of officials during goal-line plays be left to the discretion of the commissioners of the Various conferences (The Asso­ciation proposed that the officials' position be changed so they would have a better view »nd to prevent a play being instituted before the snap of the bsB);

And that the officials' signal for unnecessary roughness be reinstated in Its 1946 form.

Getting down to the real reason for a visit, Mr. Towns consented to give us what he termed il brief round-up of the incomplete half of the twentieth century. On unfinish, ed tasks he declared:

“We entered the 20th century more as a nation of isolationists than otherwise. Only the churches through missionaries had done much to reveal a great interest in spreading the doctrine of human brotherhood, and they, far less than they might. The First World War brought the first great shock and efforts of President WHson to make the world safe for democracy. World War II endeavored to es­tablish under FDR tiie four essen­tial freedoms which would es­tablish the one world advocated by Wendell Willkle. »

“The second half of the twentieth century, continued Mr. Towns, "will receive a bad inheritance from the first half in the form of a pagan philosophy. Thjs philosophy as­cribes to life no purpose, acknow­ledges no God' and offers no sub stitute to bewildered and slruggl-

| .ng peoples."“Things we should continue to do,

Mr. Towns emphasized are: 1) ex- | tend human rights to small nations aim minorities in large nations, 2) offer protection in the enjoyment of those rights, 3) providing for equality before the law as the foundation stone upon * which all building of a civilized community must rest, 4) equality in education­al opportunity, 5) the free partici-

i pation in the suffrage as the best ' method of assuring a democratic government, 6) unrestricted right to work and equal pay for equal work

j in quantity and quality."SOLID CITIZEN

Those who have, watched Mr Towns in action can vouch for his sincerity in these beliefs, for In past years, he has virtually staged Mark Turner and Sam Marshall
