An Inter-Race Marriage

In Rockville, Connecticut, a purely
New England town, young white

the Mavflower Pilgrims, chose to
marry Clarence Kellem, a colored
man, whose ancestry probably came
over on the same ship, or whose
grandparents may have fallen in de-

If Kellem did fail to have this proud
ancestry in his right, his name is on

world democracy. Therefore, he
comes in for bit of distinction too.
As Kellem's mother was white and

perfectly natural that he would want
to marry a white girl. This is

Unemployment Situation

There Is much talk about prosper

chock-full and running over with
news concerning the marvellous era
of business progress. 1t may be good
psychology but facts do not warrant
any such optimism. To lead the pub

Theer is wide spread unemploy-

there is general depression. The
