The idea of the benefit at Lewis ohn Stadium was originated by Neil Scott and his wife, Carol Brice who served as chairman of the Isaac Woodard Benefit Com mittee with Joe Louis as co-chair man and Mayor Wm. O'Dwver as honorary chairman. The affair was under the complete direction of Neil Scott and was financed through the Amsterdam News Wei fare Fund. Because of the inclement wea ther the committee was unable to make use of Lewisohn Stadium, Friday, August 19th, which was granted by the Citv of New York to the Isaac Woodard Benefit Show. However, on Sunday night. August 18th, the Isaac Woodard Benefit Show began promptly at 8 pm. and ended at 12 pm. The delay because of inclement weather necessitated additional expense for promotion, advertising and other particulars necessarv to make the show a success on Sun day. Accordingly, Neil Scott and As sociates would like to submit as a partial report the following Sta ll—=ia , tistics which were submitted to him by the Amsterdam News Wel fare Fund Business Department. Whenever subsequent data is re ceived. Neil Scott should like to announce thht he will immediately make such data available to the general public through the same channels throughout the communi ty which he used in promoting the Isaac Woodard Benefit Show. The show grossed 23,180.08. 18, 970 persons paid admission. Con servative estimates point to the fact that Woodard will receive at least $10,000. Of the 21,000 tickets printed, 17. 476 were sold. 1.465 were returned and 2,034 are still out. There were only 25 complimentary tickets gi ven out. In addition, 1.494 tickets for standing room were sold at the stadium doors the night of the benefit. After that number had been sold, the police ordered the doors closed and would not per mit entrance of any more of the crowd outside which has been var iously estimated in the neighbor hood of 10,000. Twenty-two thousand, seven hun dred and sixty-four dollars and 20 cents has been realied from ticket sales after the first count. In add ition $425.79 in donations has been received. Thus the gross income for the affair was $23,180.08. After the $4,000 government tax is paid, expenses will amount to about $10,580 on the first estimate although all bills have not yet been submitted. Balancing all known and unknown factors it is estimated $10,000 may be left over -.ii . . =n »... .^aEDi City-W ide Excavating * Basements & Hauling • Grading “Dozer • Heavy Machinery Hauled —FREE ESTIMATES— —BOB & JOHN OLIVO— | WA. 2324 -a l*o ' Radio Repairing • GUARANTEED PARTS AND SERVICE CAR RADIOS OUR SPECIALTY —M.

OLD He Wanted to Live in Omaha Nebr Mr. Tuggy Simpson said to his father in Mobile, Ala., when he was 6 years old he wanted to make Omaha, Nebr. his home some day. When he finished high school in Mobile for some reason he doesn’t remember just why, he went to Chester, Pa., where he went to work for the Government as a student in welding and later was sent to Philadelphia in the Govern ment ship yard there he became a teacher in welding. He met up with a misfortune while instruct ing one of his students. He remo ved his welding goggles to show his student how to use the welding machine. Unexpectedly the stu dents' machine touched the rivet and a flash sprayed across Mr. Simpson's face and he became to tally blind from this accident. He was sent to the Government hos pital. There he recovered his sight. But in Pennsylvania where the air is damp his eyes gave him trouble so he was advised by the physician to seek a sunshine climate. Mr. Simpson said to his wife we shall go to Omaha, my life’s ambition. They came to Omaha and took re sidence at the late apartments at 27th and Erskine Streets. Omaha’s climate proved to be the cure for his vision trouble. But Mr. Simpson became lonesome for the roaring of his welding ma chine so he took his wife to Cal ifornia; San Francisco. He was employed as a welder and in a few weeks his expert ability got him a berth as a foreman of the • ship’s welders by the superintend ent. In his new position he was carried from one end of the ship to the other and from top to bot tom with his crew. Mr. Simpson says now he ean take a crew of men and build a ship. When the war was over and the ray of the machine began to subside, he mo ved to Oakland, Calif., across the bay. After spending a few months in Oakland. Calif., he decided to go back to Omaha, his boy hood wich. He came to Omaha, joined his wife and they became members of the Mt. Moriah Baptist church. Mr Simpson said he has lived a good Christian life since he was 20 years old. After he decided to make Omaha his home, he purch ased a duplex apt. at 2430 Grant St., where he now resides. Mr. Simpson has not been a spend thrift during the hay days. He is now thinking of other investments in Real estate. If you have a bar gain give him a ring, phone AT. 0691.
