Willie Curry, 16, wrote his moth
er, Mrs. Luvelle McElrath Of 4405
McClain St., Brighton:
white people down here
treat the colored people like dogs.
The boss man I work for, he takes
his gun. One white man shot at
some colored boys a few days ago.
Our boss always talks about doing
something to us. They beat up
somebody nearly every day." He
said his job was killing snakes
in the canal"
According to statements sworn to
by the mothers, these youths had
been recruited to work for "the y.
S. Sugar Crop" which their state
ment said postal officials said had
no address in Clewiston, Fla.
Two boys are reported to have
escaped" and are now back home.
One boy wrote that their mail
was Grad by the farm officials
and that they had to leave out OF
their writings anything that dis.
pleased the "bosS.''
Most of them had requested their
fare back home" and some moth
ers claimed to have sent such but
had not heard from their sons.

Your Corner
SAY SOMETHING GOOD"
by Grace b. SMITH

Pick out the folks, you like the
least,
And watch them for awhile.
They never waste kindly word,
They never waste a smile.
They criticise their fellowmen,
At every chance they get.
They have yet to find human.
Just to suit their fancy,
From they you'd learn something,
If they were pointed out,
Something every one of us should
Know a lot about.
When some one knocks brother,
Pass around the cup,
Say something good about him.
If you have to make up.
It's safe to say that every man
God made,
Have some traces of good,

Of clay,
The weaklings who have stumbled

All OF these should be forgiven.

May health strew roses round

And the dove ceases her cries,

your splendid case of $40 articles

most opportune moment as we have
been asked by the American Embas-
sy to help an American unit of Air
men serving with our own Forces in
very cold part Of England. AS they
were chiefly from California they
were feeling our climate very severe
and 1t gave us the greatest pleasure
to be able to do some little thing for
the men Of your country who have
done so much and so wonderfully
for us. Though we have tried from
time to time to help some Of the
Americans over here until now they
have all been so extremely well cared
for that 1t was unnecessary.
I'VE have asked the Embassy to
let us know Of any more who need
our help which we shall give with
much pleasure.
Thank you very much for your
continual thought and generosity to-
wards us. I think it is wonderful
now that you are on the line your
selves you should continue to send
things to us, because you have many
demands at home. However, as we
well know, the generosity of Amer

MANY SACRIFICES
URGED BY SPEAKER

Increased taxation, lowering OF
the standard of living and reduced
maintenance expenditures on the
part of industry were proposed last
night by Prof. Hudson B. Hastings
of Yale, at q conference Of Cone
necticut scout executives in the Wa
terbury club.
These sacrifices must necessarily
accompany the successful prose:u-
ton of the war, the speaker pointed
out, and tax increases suggested BY
Henry Morgenthau, secretary OF the
treasury, Tuesday, are not adequate.
More than the $3.50, 0O0, 900 the
government would realize through
the additional levies, Prof. Hastings
said, will be needed to bring about
maximum production for the ma
tion'S war needs.

tender crops are to have effective
protection from early spring cold.
If muslin Is used it can be sup
ported on 1-by-1's or 1athes nailed
every five feet along the frame,
and fastened to the frames on
either side so It may be raised and
lowered easily.
If well-rotted manure Is avail
able, 1t can be spaded into the soil
at the time the seedbed Is prepared,
but manure that contains a great
deal Of straw will actually retard
plant growth If worked into the
soil less than a month or two before
planting time.
USE FRAMES ONLY
WHEN NECESSARY
In the north, many home garden
ers follow the practice of SOW
ing the long-season crops in win
dow-hoxes, transplant the seed
ling plants into the cold frames,
and finally transplant from the
frames into the warden when the
weather and soil have warmed UP
well and the danger Of killing frost
has past.
However, healthy, started plants
of many such vegetables can be
purchased very reasonably from
the local seed dealer, so that win
dow boxes and cold frames may
be more trouble than they sre
worth. Unless you live in a Sec
ton that's not suited to outdoor
gardening, time spent building
the frames and transplanting, may
be used to better advantage pre-
pairing a fine, friable, mellow seed
bed, and the cost Of the frames,
spent on fertilizer and high quality

Cold frames and hot frames, the
knee high greenhouses that are
used quite generally for starting
seed before soil and weather con-
ditions permit planting directly in
the garden, are being used all season
long, in some sections of the coun-
try, not only to start the plants, but
to grow them up 70 harvest rnatur-
ity.
Frame-type gardens are par
ticularly suited to the city back
yard, because they can be cult
waited intensively To produce big
yields Of vegetables from small
areas. They are especially valu-
able In places where shortage of
moisture or extreme summer heat
are hkley to cause crop failure.
NARROW WIDTH MAKES
TENDING EASIER
But whether frames are to DE
for growing plants to maturity or
merely for starting and nursing
them along until they can be trans
planted to the garden, their con-
struction is simple, and their cost
low.
