National Big Brother Week Observed January Six to Thirteen
National Big Brother Week marks a decade long effort to aid boys in trouble. The Dade County Big Brother Association formed last year to fight juvenile delinquency, growing from 30 to over 200 members as it runs a recruitment drive. Eligibility requires being 21 or older and a genuine desire to help or support the movement. Interested persons may send in an application for membership.

Jackie Nixes $50,000 Giant Bid
Jackie Robinson rejected a $50,000 offer from the Giants as a possible first base replacement for Willie White and a spark for Willie Mays. He said there was little chance he would play, though he left some doubt in his mind about his decision. The Giants sought him to bolster defense and offense as Mays’s form waned in 1956.
