...must sometimes use ladders in place of stairways, outhouses instead of running-water toilets. With the jungle overcrowded, other immigrants fan out into other areas in the city. Some well-off families manage to slip into fine old neighborhoods like Germantown, where they keep well-run homes. But the net effect of the migration is to create new ghettos, drop real-estate values, drain tax revenues, lift the crime rate,† and overburden public schools (18 are all-Negro; in 50, Negroes comprise from 50% to 90% of the student bodies). "There are 60,000 units housing 200,000 people...
...whole communities throughout predominantly agricultural Minnesota. Assigned to look into economic and social conditions in depressed farm towns, Rowan returned from a 90-day tour convinced that scores of communities will have to shift gears or perish. He found that a long-term drop in the state's net farm income (down $97 million since 1949) was aggravated by an agricultural revolution that is eliminating the country town's longtime function of marketplace and supply center.

...game began in a rough fashion as the referees handed out three penalties in the first six minutes of play. Cleary opened the scoring for the varsity when he took a pass from Guttu and scored on an open net. (Pitts was out of the cage, scurrying after a rebound.) Fischer made it 2-0 when he tipped in one of Owen's slap shots from the blue line at 15:30 of the opening period...
Cleary put the varsity ahead 7 to 1 when, with the varsity short one man on a penalty to McClaughlin, he scored on a classic breakaway. The Crimson captain took the puck in front of his own net and literally stickhandled his way through the entire B.C. team to score. The goal gave him his 61st point of the year, 28 behind his brother's recordsetting total of 89. Vietze scored the final varsity goal at 15:41 when he tallied on passes from Bob McVey and Les Duncan...
