Mai Meld Will Receive Sullivan Trophy NEW YORK MaJ Whitfield, whose private life lifts been mucb in the lime light as to whether or not he was committed to marry a Swedish girl, has nonetheless handled himself very well as « track star t>y becoming the? first Negro to ever win the James E. Sullivan Memorial Trophy. The trophy goes to America’s out standing amateur athlete of the year. Of course, it was a bit of irony ttuit ‘54 was not Mai’s greatest year, for it was In ‘53 that he was the No. 1 Sullivan candidate after setting five world records indoors and out doors. But his name was taken off the ballot due to his being investigated for alleged viola tions of amateur rules. He was never formally charged and eventually won clearance from AAU. Copping an award that not even the great Jesse Owens could capture, Mai won in com parative ease. He was named on 262 of 667 ballots cast. The Sullivan trophy which is award ed each year for the last 25 years to the “amateur athlete who by performance, example and good influence did the most to advance the cause of good sportsmanship,” will be pre sented Jo Whitfield on Febru ary 20th. At present, the track star is in the Far East on a goodwill tour for the state de partment. rr rr Womanless Wedding" Set Hillside Jan. 10 The Broadcasters Club ,pif Hillside High School will pre sent a “WOMANLESS WED- ' DING", Monday, January 10, at 8:15 p.m. in the school audi torium.

We usually talk about the type of picture taking we all do in this column. When we use the word “photography," we’re usually re ferring to the science that enables us to have snapshots of the people, things, and places that are per sonally important to us. But, today, let’s take a look at some other aspects of photography and how it affects the way we live. It does, you know. Without pho tography our lives would be dif ferent indeed. Today, we know not only how all ol ^e leaders in our country look, but would also recognize many of Uie people who play im portant roles in current history all the way around the world if we met them on the street We know how England’s queen looks in stately robes, and how she looks when she plays with her children on the lawn. Whether we’ve ever been to London or not we can close our eyes and visualize the changing of the palace guard. The Empure State Building’s famous tower is almost as familiar to people op Small World the West Coast as it is to the na tive New Yorker. When disaster strikes in any part of the world, we can see for ourselves what happened^ When a new line of clothes is introduced in Paris, women in every city, village, and farm in this country know by the next day what the newest style is. Photography communicates all tliis information to us through the medium of newspapers, maga zines, motion pictures and tele vision. Understanding the Importance of pictures in general helps us understand the importance of our own snapshots. With them we can keep various members of the fami ly, although they be widely scat tered, up to date on the happen ings at our house. Through ex change of personal snapshots we can watch children grow, see new homes being built really keep up with the doings of our favor ite people. Just keep in mind—anything that’s worth remembering is worth a picture. —John Van Guilder NewtThree Million Dollar Building Opened At Howard University Structure Is Designed To Ac comodate Some 400 Dentistry And Dental Hygiene Students Building is Fourth to be Com pleted in University’s Post-War Development Program.

I will have roimded out ten years of foreign duty in the service of our country; the gavel will be passed on to those who have come after me. I cap assure you that the decision has been a dU- ficuUt one but there comes a time when we need to catch up with ourselves. And now I am back on the job busier than ever loiowing very well that I wont be ready to "throw in the sponge” when 1956 comes. We don’t need a Christmas season or for that reason any particular set aside time to count our blessings. Would that we could remember to put the very most into each day that’s our privilege to be a part of.... that we would give our kind words, flowers and gifts while they can be enjoyed. In our hearts no matter where we are there will always exist the spirit of Christmas—and as was said by Fra Giovani In 1513. I salute you: There Is nothing I can give you which you have not; but there is much that, while I cannot give you, you can take...No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in -it today. Take Heaven...No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in the present. Take Peace... The gloom of the world is but a shadow; beiiind it, yet within our reach is joy. Take Joy... And so at this C^stnias time, I greet you, with the prayer that you, now and forever, the day breaks and shadows flee away. iWOKD ABOUT BOYSCOim By Henry Gillis . District Scout Executive Census figures show us tlait by 1960, there will be 45 per cent more children between 10 and 17 than there were in 1930. It is estimated that by 1960 the ntmiber of delinquent children picked up by police will num ber one-and-a-half million per year. We know from fingerprint arrest data gathered by the F.B.I. that the number of child ren under 18 Vho were arrested for auto theft went to 61 per cent from 1948 to 1951. Each year, one authority says, the crime bill in the United States is 15 billion dollars. Mji^e than one half of the adult criminals in this country have a past his tory of juvenile delinquency. In 1952, children under 17 com mitted 2.3 per cent of all bur glaries, 15.2 per cent of all property stolen, 9,2 per cent of all rapes, and 41.2 per cent of all auto thefts. I have said and will always say, there is no such thing as a Delinquent Child-But there are untold thousands of Delinquent Parents, Delinquent Communi ties and Delinquent Institutions! You may say it can’t happen to you, or your communiti^ According to the 19M ccosus, there were 4,233,000 Cub Age Boys (11-13), and 4^,000 Explorer age boys, (14-18) in the United States, or a total of 12,414,000 boys a^ S-17.
