PM Breezy Meadow Camp Sunday
band wagon from the beginning and
he went all the way +. John Louden,
as we see it, isn't asking for any fav-
ors but was very timely rewarded for
the faith he had in his candidate Tobin
and for the sincere work he did for
that candidate who did not forget him,
not merely as a colored man, but a
worthwhile political worker . other
Mayors of Boston have had this same
opportunity but very few have consid-
cred colored man in the city's legal
department . if my memory serves
me right James M. Curley made the
only other appointments in that de-
partment, Atty's Rainey and Wolff
thanks to Maurice J. Tobin for his
equal consideration not only in this
last appointment but in city wide
sweep of jobs, Federal Housing etc.
where he has seen to it ~ersonally that
the colored voter has gotten his share
. E. . we know that Boston's legal de-
partment will like the smart and eff
cient new associate, namely John Lou
den and we wish him success.
CORRECTION PLEASE
Due to an error beyond our control
the name of Sikh Robinson employed
in the office of the Lenox Street Pro-
ject sort Of crossed our column in the
past few months with that of Simion
Roberts, Janitor, on the same project
. there's plenty of difference be-
tween the two gentlemen in question
as you perhaps know physically,
mentally and socially . in regards
to the promotion we mentioned last
week in Mr.. David Lanes office we re-
peat the gentleman was Carodean R.
Robinson popularity known as "Siki"
take bottles for comparison with
apologies to both gentleman, Sikh is
quart in size and Simion is a half
pint so there you are physically, the
rest you can judge for yourself. Sim
ion as he goes about his daily task he
has the interest of ward nine in his
heart, thus is his real reason for enter
ing the councillorship fight in that dis
trict so his associates say . Sikh
Robinson's work covers a much larger
field majoring in the social work he
had in mind when he first entered col
lege Skis day by day program
carries him all over Boston ending up
his time in the evening matching
points with his pretty wife who as you
perhaps know has made quite a name
for herself in her own department
so when the Robinson, Roberts COM
bination graces our column repeat the
names slowly to yourself, they both
work for the Housing Authority one
as I mentioned before a janitor Mr..
Roberts, and the other an investigator
assisting David Lane, Mr. Robinson
. sorry for any embarrassment any
one of you may have suffered because
of my error.
SOCIAL JOTS.
