MEAT QUOTAS IN
 N. E. ARE ASKED
Dealers Appeal to Roose' welt, Federal Govern.
 ment Officials

Boston, Dec. l6-(UP)-A group of New England meat dealers ap- pealed to President Roosevelt and other federal officials today to cs. tablish a quota system so that New England will get Its fair share of meat,
 The appeal was made following a meeting of the New England branch of the National Association of non- Slaguhtering Meat Producers and wholesalers which decided that eou- pons for meat rationing would be valueless unless immediate action was taken,
 George Kern of Portland, Me- President of the Assoeiatoln's New England district, said that under tho present seystem "all meat goes to the packers and sloughtreH at the source and 1t Is more advan. tageous for them to sell in the VI. cinity of their own sources and use their own distributors, They save, in addition, the shipping costs to Nv England"
 "If the government would require meat to be distributed on on equit- able basis to the New England non- slaughtering proeessers and whole. saers," he said, "there would be some meat for New Englanders."
 The assoeiation's protest to MT, Roosevelt said that tho oPA through It's meat restriction order No 1, created a monopolistic con. trol of meat sluppl''s available for civilian consumption,
 "Packers and slaughterers have denied the proeeSsers and whole. salers their just percentage of meat supplies" it said.

Hartford, Conn, Dec. l6-(UP)-- Newly elected Democratic State Chairman John M. Dove today called on warning party factions to bury the hatchet, settle their dY- lerences. and weld themselves to- Kether to achieve victory "in every town, city, county and district in Inc state"
 Tn a letter to members of the State Central Committee, Dove said lt was his first responsibility to weld together all groups Into a united front"
 "With the achievement of such unity" he said, "the election of the state ticket two years from now will take care of itself"
 Dove was elected state chairman last week with the support C the city organizations of Hartford, New Haven. Bridgeport and Norwalk. He was opposed by elements of the party headed by U. s. Sen. Francis T. Maloney.

It is on the personal basis that we hope to usher in an era of good feeling in Connecticut democracy that has never been surpassed"
 He recommended:

 2. We do not want the local units of the party to become docile, rubber stamp affairs.

 "The Democratic State Central Committee shall encourage the in- troduction of our entire legislative program during the coming session of the General Assembly in the hope that the people will demand its en- actment on the basis Of its merit"
 Dove said he could not subscribe to the doctrine that any town In the state is hopeless as far as the Demo- cratic party Is concerned"

ident of the St. Paul Branch,

ate remarks and after the singing

A. Fineout, member of the Exec
utive Committee of the local

L. M. j.: For two years I have
been going with a boy and he has
asked me to marry him but I don't
love him. My whole family is
crazy about him. Tell me what to
do?
Ans: Stay single. You two young
folks have fused, argued and dis
agreed the whole two years you
have been going together. Why on
earth would you want to take a
chance at marriage under these cir
cumstances. Your family won't
have to live with the boy, there
fore they should not try to in
fluence you to marry him, knowing
you aren't in love with him. Wait
until you fall in love before get
ting married.
A. K: My boy friend volunteered
and went to the Army about year
ago. was his best girl before he
left. When he received his fur
Tough he couldn't wait to come to
see me. When he got here, all the
girls started liking him when they
saw him in his uniform. Now Pm
carrying the torch for this boy and
want to know how stand?
Ans: His thoughts are not CEN
tered on making an Everlasting
love match" That is why he did
not get serious with you when he
was home on leave. He spent most
of his time with you, isn't that
proof enough that the girls in your
town didn't turn his head. Write
him regularly, he does enjoy your
letters.
M. E. c.: What is wrong with the
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1942-05-01

to enlist colored Americans on a
manhood basis. They kept on ask
ing until the question got under
the skins of those who rule the
Navy. Apparently they decided to
do something about it.
So Secretary Knox stepped for
ward, with a roll of drums, a -four
ish of trumpets, and a salute of
eighteen and a half tin whistles and
announced that the Navy was go
ing democratic. The Jim Crow
policy of the Navy was being abOl-
ished, as of the date of his an
nOuneement; the color bars were
being let down, from hencefOrth
and forever after any American
Negro willing to die for his cOun-
try on the high seas would be ac-
cepted into the combat service of
the United States Navy.
BUT, Negroes recruited for the
Navy will be placed in the Naval
RESERVE. After a training
period under white petty officers
they will be assigned to designated
ships or mud scows for service at
sea. IF, after an unspecified num-
Der of light years, any Negroes
only three or four times as brainy
as Einstein are discovered they
may be commissioned as officers
to command colored Naval units, of
course.
To give the Naval Secretary full
credit it must be said that he per-
formed with great aplOmb and
finesse. He simulated a man doing
something decent so persuasively
that he even fooled some Negro
