Going to Town
Continued from Page 81

as a fine example of community spirit
the annual safari of the jenkins
Orphanage School instrumental bands
and vocal quartets are in town again
and doing their stuff on downtown
street corners with tootlino horns and
childish voices personally, I can't
see pulling all those kids from town to
town IN dilapidated vehicles from coast
to coast it endangers both their
health and mentality dragging these
boys and girls over the country with
crowded living and travelling condi-
tons when they should be allowed to
develop normally instead of being
placed on public display like migratory
cattle IN an effort to exploit their pow
erty and lure the public into dropping
few nickels and dimes into the tin
cup =. the day when there was a need
for such spectacles is past and colored
America should realize it . wake up
to our opportunities and cease retard-
ing the forward progress of our people
with such stupid shows there are
sufhclent government and private social
and charitable agencies existent to care
for the problems of such school
who prospers on the income of this
Junket while the youngsters are away
from school or does the prohibitive cost
OF such venture eat up all the profits +?
these orphans should be given the
chance to lead normal, healthy child
hood the same as other children for the
sake OF the promise which the future
holds for them e.. through no fault of
their own, they are herded like animals
and lead a life of professional beg
gary for which they reap vainglorious
reward something should be done
