COMMITTEE ON INTER
RACIAL COOPERATION
400 Palmer Bldg, Atlanta, Ga.
R. B. Eleazer, Educational Director

Alexandria, La. - For saving Joe
Hardy, Negro prisoner, from mob
bent on lynching him, Sheriff U. Il.
Downs and Jai1er w. G. Penney, Of
this city, were publicly honored here
last Sunday by a great popular mass
meeting, at which their courage and
faithfulness were Landed by distin-
guished speakers and handsome bronze
medals were awarded them. The
meeting was held in the First Baptist
church at the morning preaching hour,
and was featured by sermon suited
to the occasion by the pastor, Rev.
Carl DeVane.
The presentation of the medals was
made BY Hon. T. w. Holloman,
prominent attorney. The medals were
provided by the Commission on Inter
racial Cooperation and were awarded
by a committee composed of Hon.
Hugh M. Dorsey, former governor OF
Georgia; Gov. John w. Martin, OF
Florida; Mrs. J. H. Mccoy, Of Ala
bama; George B. Dealey, president OF
the Dallas News, and Marshall Bal
lard, editor of the New Orleans Item.
In 1925 the commission authorized
the preparation of medals to be con-
ferred on officers successfully resist
ing mobs. Up to the present awards
have been made in eight cases, and sew
eral others are now under investiga-
ton. In the Alexandria case, mem
bers Of the mob went to the jail on
February 1st of last year and de-
manded that Joe Hardy, Negro pris-
oner charged with the murder Of a
Louisiana planter, be turned over to
them. Jailer Penny fatty refused and
sent a hurry call to Sheriff Downs,
who rushed to the scene and advised
them not to start anything. Convinced
that the officers meant business, the
mob dispersed.

Of orange juice" says DR.. Bundesen
Oranges give vitamins and good
food values; they make for strength
endurance, firm muscles, clear mind
and bright eye In spite Of what is
commonly believed, oranges are food
for an acid condition Of the blood
Orange juice is mild laxative, is not
fattening' and is a good between-meal
drink. Therefore, recommend the

arose early to get through Bakers
field before it got too hot, as it is
another hot one. Just as we got
within few miles of Bakersfield,
had fiat tire, SO uncle put on the
''spare" and had to get the other
one patched up in Bakersfield, and
there we staid for one and half
hours-h-o-t! In leaving Bakersfield
we went over what is known as the
Ridge Road. Of all the crooked
roads it is sit" A fine concrete road,
but just curves for 80 miles over the
mountains.
We arrived at Hollywood at p.

a few minutes, then they brought
me back to Brentwood, Is miles.
The folks staid over night with me.
This was lovely trip. We were
gone eight days and travelled about
100 miles, averaging 1877 miles per
day, or better. would like to spend
one week in Yosemite instead of two
days. There will be new road
open in August, which will make a
much better way to get there. We
saw people from about every state
noticed especially those from Ohio
and Washington, D. G.. California
Is very dry now, the fields are dry,
and in many places we saw signs
up "No smoking allowed" A lighted
match or cigarette thrown away
n or
stickers to put on auto wind
shields, Prevent Fires" We saw
one fire when coming home. There
has been no rain there since Easter
Sunday. I think California at
this time of year is very unattractive,
with all the hills and fields dead
nothing green except where irri-
gated, and of course, the scrub oak
and pines in the mountains). They
take every precaution against fire.
Now little about the Grand Can
yon trip: We left Los Angeles for
Denver, July "a, via Santa Fe. I'm
Gle and family came out to Brent
wood for Lucie and me- We left
at noon and it was quite warm. By
night it was still hotter. At Needles,
Calf, 118 miles from Los Angeles,
it was so hot we were glad to get to
bed, but did not sleep much until
early morning, when we got up In
the Arizona mountains. Arrived at
the Canyon at $3.50, leaving our
bags right in the car. Hiked up
steps to the hotel and peeked over
the rim of that wonderful canyon.
Just to look over and down one mile
almost takes ones breath away. 1t
is vast space. IL miles wide and
one mile deep, with the Colorado
river running through it. You cam
not see the river, only at certain
points We took what they call the
Rim Trip, with a guide to point out
all interesting things. The pictures
l took are not very good, as it is the
coloring that is SO beautiful. Some
rode the mules down to the river,
but it is days trip, and hard one.
We looked through the telescope at
a party coming back. To look with
the naked eye, they looked like ants
along the trail. Our train left at
7:35 p. M, and we arrived in Den
yer, July 27.
