This boy, lonely and broke landed one day

The kid fell for this talk hook, line and
snker. He got into the car and drove it down
six blocks. There he waited for his newly
found friend as he was told to. But instead
Of the man a cop came.
When the cop approached the car, Of

did not suspect anything wrong.

Dope runners, marijuana punks and peddlers,

In this manner hundreds of boys and girls

A few minutes later instead Of tho man

20 prevent fifth columnists disguised as
hohocs from sabotaging our railroads
and shopping in places where they
shouldn't we passed a resolution at our hobo
convention last May in Jersey City, N. j., to
clear the roads Of hoboes during the present
national emergency,
We felt that in serious times like these
the hoboes must stop bum gazing and must
contribute their share in helping this country
through its difficulties.
AS il is there are about 10000 of more
than 100000 members of our organization,

is 10 be found in Great Britain Canada, and
in all the other countries that are on the side

However there will still be number Of

the difference between a hobo and a tramp
and tramp and bum, Too often a hobo IS
degraded by being called a tramp or a bum
by those who don't know better.
The hobo is a person afflicted with the
wandcrlust and who believes that the world
owes him or her an opportunity. He takes
that opportunity and earns his living by work.
ing whenever he can, lie doesn't shirk from
work, but he is cursed with the urge to be
always ON the go. to be always somewhere
else. It's terrible curse but it doesn't make
bad man out OF him. Some very prominent
men IN American life have been at one time
hoboes and are today members of the hobo
organization
The hobo is the real Knight Of the Road

he meets on the road but also protects them
