If he is elected, Daniels said, I the first item on his agenda wiH I be to examine the Northeast I Ward's precinct boundaries. The Carver precinct, ^aid Daniels, is too large and needs to be made smaller or divided into two precincts. Other precincts need to be examined as well, he said, to see if existing polling places are the most reasonable and convenient for \oters. Daniels said he also wants to involve as many citizens as nn?i. ? r ble in making decisions that affect them. , 4'We rfeed new people involved I\ni tin, niiifc ary, tmties,,v Daniels said.

Stay away from alleys and bushes. If someone does try to attack you, yell "fire" instead of "rape." Keep your car in the best possible condition and at least onequarter filled with gas.

"I don't compare fighters," he said. 'That's sort of like comparing^ Alita Joe^ Lewis. They were both very good fighters." Benjamin fought his last match in 1940 at the Golden Gloves tournament in Greensboro. "I fought this boy named 'Dutch' Clark from Indianapolis, Ind.," he said. "He was going to N.C. A&T at the time. That was the only tight 1 lost. I still believe I would have won that fight if I hadn't eaten such a big meal before the fight." After fighting as an amateur for four years, Benjamin began teaching the sports' basic skills to youngsters. "In 1939, they tried to make me turn pro, but I didn't want to," he said. He tried, instead, to instill something more than boxing in his students. "1 used to make them bring me their report cards. You can't win if you're a dumb fighter," he said. The kids also would come to him and talk about their problems. "I did a little counseling, too," Benjamin said, adding that if he hadn't offered the young men an opportunity for selfimprovement, they wouldn't have kept coming back. From time to time, some of his SUBS( I " t0 1 I Winston-Sah I 722-1 m Page A3 I IMIIMtMMIMMtlltlMIMIIMtlltllllltltltlllMIMIIIIIIIIIItlllll I he is. I "I'm a sincere person," he I said.

"Boys come back with doctor degrees and the like and the first thing they say is, 'Coach, I bet you don't remember me,"' he said. "But 1 usually do." - Benjamin stopped coaching at the Y when his leg began giving him trouble. That setback, however, didn't keep him from doing things he liked. "I do a little singing, too," he said. And, he said, he plans to start singing again as soon as he can be? fitted with a artifical leg. "Yeah, as soon as I can get around, I'm going to start back singing," he said. "There is no need to bt going around feeling -bad-and ti^oopy-abou^-this^eg.? I'll just wait until I learn to use the artifical one." Benjamin and his wife, Earline, have been married for 48 years and have three children: sons Samuel and Christopher, and a daughter, Constance. "When I was boxing, I fought for myself and the fans; I gave it everything I had," he said. During the interview for this story, Benjamin's telephone rang and a man at the other end of the line sought some boxing advice. "If you don't get that boy down ?
