CALLIN' ALL ENTERTAINERS . . . The Recorder s forthcoming picnic at Camp Belzer for the benefit of more than 400 boys and girls needs your cooperation in order to make the annual outing a delightful and entertainingly all-day affair. . . . Thom Ervin, circulation manager, has gone all out this year to provide everything possible for the pleasurable enjoyment of these youngsters. . . . Won't you give him a RING at ME. 4-1545 and tell him that you'll be there to do your part on this big entertainment bill? 10,000 PEOPLE EXPECTED HELLO, BASEBALL FANS, this is your man Hibbitt on base, taking a long lead as Promoter Wes Jackson winds and gets ready to throw another good pitch for the home town Yes, I mean Friday nite, July 13, when the NAL World Champion Kansas City Monarchs charge into the league-leading Detroit Stars at Victory Field. . . . Game time is 8 p.m. Currently at the top of the heap and playing every ball game like it was series' time, Detroit is pounding around the base-paths with the aim of scoring again in the second half of the pennant chase. Geared for fast action, the Stars and the Monarchs promise a lot of thrills and fine plays for the local fans Friday nite. Buses will run to the park as usual and a reduced fare has been set in order that as many youngsters as wish may see this fine bill. Senor Jackson snuck away like one of those Arabs of the legend . . . and reappeared a few days later all broke out with secrets and smiles and a bit of this and that. . . . And what do vou know? THE NESBITS! Even so, THE FLYING NESBITS. None other. And they'll be at the ball yard Friday nite making like line drives, bloopers and bounding grounders. STARS OF SCREEN, stage and TV, and the only acrobatic show of its kind in America, The Flying Nesbits captured the hearts of thousands when they shared star billing with the fabulous, fun-making Goose Tatum and Marques Haynes and their Harlem Magicians here in the fieldhouse. . . . The way Papa, Mama, Junior and Daughters Nesbits fly around, there is just one way to case these cats, man . . . they're real nervous . . . and so was I. Well, that's all for now, baseball fans, see you Friday nite early for the big baseball battle . . . and the extra added attraction ... for real—W.C.H. WHAM! AND THIS IS IT . . . DEATH TO THOSE WHO PEDDLE NARCOTICS. . . . Congress has just passed a bill permitting juries to recommend the death penalty for anyone who sells or gives heroin to children under 18. . . . The bill would outlaw heroin—called the "slow death narcotic." . . . Our new penalties include: For possession of narcotics, 2 to 10 years and a $20,000 fine for a first offense; 5 to 20 years and a $20,000 fine for a second offense, and 10 to 40 years and a $20,000 fine for a third offense. . . . For selling illicit drugs the new penalties are 5 to 10 years and a $20,000 fine for a first offense and 10 to 40 years and $20,000 fine for a second or subsequent offense. The bill now goes to the President. THESE SEVERE PENALTIES should serve to knock this vicious racket right into the ocean. ... If local peddlers don't get hep after reading the above, then, he or she, is dumber than we think. . . . When one looks at the human wrecks strollin' along the main stem, he can begin to realize why such strong measures are necessary to stamp out this trade in narcotics. HEAP BIT GOOD . . . Congrats to Sgt. Anthony Watkins on his promotion to lieutenant, and to Patrolmen Oscar Donahue and Roger Harrison on their promotion to sergeants. . . . Also a hearty salute to Mayor Bayt, Chief Mueller and the Board of Safety for these timely and well-deserved promotions. . . . These hard-working officers fully deserve'this consideration and should fill their new responsibilities with honor and dignity. . . . They are well known in their community and will be a credit to the police department. . . . We are still waiting for that appointment of captain, which we believe will come (we hope) subsequently. . . . Also an accolade to Officer John Metzger on his promotion to the Traffic Education Department of the Traffic Bureau. . . . John is now sporting one of those Accident Prevention (white) cars. . . . This fella is sure to do a good job. . . . Thanks to Capt. Audrey Jacobs. WE FEEL THAT SGT. TOM WILLIAMS, who was demoted to patrolman, should have received more consideration. . . . The fella had his eye shot out in the line of duty and deserves more than he received. . . . Let's find him a better and safer JOB on the inside. . . . How about it, dear readers? While on the subject of policemen, let us remind you that Edward S. Bollen has been appointed a captain in the St. Louis Police Department . . . becoming the first Negro in the history of that city to be so honored. He'll command a police district. ... A Negro, Inspector Alston, is the assistant chief of police in the city of Columbus, Ohio, making him the highest-ranking Negro police officer in the country. BREEZING ALONG WITH THE NEWS. . . Leo Lesser, Jr., was host to a party at George's Bar last Monday nite, honoring Lieutenant Anthony Watkins and Sergeant Oscar Donahue, recently promoted in the police department. . . . Yours truly and Opal Tandy attended the swetegant affair. . . . Both officers were accompanied by their wives. . . . Also present among the guests were Lee Harding, Jr., and Tryzes. . '. .
