This Advisory Board.  Before this Advisory Board we had a Residents Association.  With another man, we established this and with a another man who was a Reverend in the Gospel Church and I realized that this man was powerful when we started this job together.  We used to fight these things together and other elderly people joined this Residents Association and then they agreed with us and they were by us so that they would solve all those many problem.  After that, this Advisory Board was only established much later, in 1939 it was in November.  That's when the Advisory Board started.  Before it there was no White person.  There were only Black people and Mr Goosen was the first to be the superintendent of the community.
