CONTEST FOR HOTEL

test for a new name for the
Trenier Hotel, located at Oak
wood Boulevard and South
Parkway has been swamped
by the letters of persons seek
ing to win one of the coveted
substantial cash prizes that
are being offered. That this
contest, which is being spon
sored by the new owners of
this hostelry, has created a
widespread public interest is
attested by the receipt of
many letters from out-of
town residents.
Much of the keen interest mani

respective of the patronage or
clientele catered to, and it was
only necessary for a new owner to
introduce a managerial policy such
as they have done to immediately
.win the approval and support of
the public.

for Editor
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 10 (A
NP)—District Six of the National
Alliance of Postal Employes which
had a large and successful meeting
here this week, and which probably
is the best organized branch of
the national body, made one of
their principal resolutions the en
dorsement of Percy L. Hines for
editor of the Postal Alliance, the
official monthly paper of the pos
tal workers. The editorship of the
Alliance seems to be actually de
veloping more interest than the
election of a new president. Hines
is a Chicago resident, a clerk in the
Chicago post office, active on civic
and club life and widely known
among the Postal Alliance member

MEMPHIS TO HAVE SPORTS
FIELD
Memphis, Term., June 10 (ANP)
Plans for building this city’s first
public athletic field for Negroes
were announced last Tuesday by
Mayor Overton when bids were
opened for rebuilding the drainage
system through the Booker T.
Washington high ochool grounds.
“PWA money or relief labor will
be used to build a first class athe
letic field,” the mayor said. “There
will be nothing elaborate about it,
but there will be a football fibld,
baseball diamond and the other fa
cilities of an athletic field, with
bleachers and probably a field
house. The colored schools now
have no suitable place for athletic
events and I think they should
have."
