y
what the foreman told the youth
after he'd knocked him down and
stomped him in the back with
both feet, Fordham stated,
The immediate trouble started
when William Morrel, white fore
man walked up to the youth and
asked him question, to which
the boy answered "yes." Burnt by
the reply, he told the workers.
I'm a white man, and you say
no, sir, and yes, sir to me-"
He then told Fordham to get
his time. When the two got to
the office instead of giving the
youth a pay slip he whirled and
struck him, knocking the boy down.
Then he jumped on his back with
both feet and kicked him in the
stomach when he attempted to
rise, the youth said.
At the behest of an officer,
the victim was carried to the local
hospital where he was treated by
DR.. Lopez, repeatedly a company
physician. When Mrs. Christine
Brown of New Orleans came for
her brother the doctor refused to
give her discharge slip, declaring
that nothing was wrong with the
boy despite the fact that a later
medical examination revealed his
condition to be serious.
Fordham stated that he came
to fill the position of a pipe layer,
but was not allowed to work in
this capacity, because the "pay
was thought too much for Ne
groes."
81 was to get rs cents per hour
but when 1 got on the job I
found that the pay was only As
cents per hour he declared. "When
l refused to work Tor this amount
my employer agreed to give me 60
cents per hour"

M. il am worried about my
work. My business doesn't seem to
improve any. But my work I am
sure is very pleasing. Tell me what
is wrong?
Ans: You haven't been i'm the city
long enough to really make a name
for yourself. You are handicapped
to some extent by living on a side
street. Try to find location for
your business in a convenient Sec
ton of town. There is one thing to
always remember. "a satisfied
customer is the best advertising
you can have.

she won't let me go anywhere
without my younger sister going
with me- So you see, I never will
fall in love if I have to always
have someone to tag along with
me. I will thank you very much
on some advice as to what I must
do?
Ans: Perhaps your mother
realizes that you won't have an
opportunity to get serious about
any boy with your younger sister
tagging along. A 16 year old girl
is too young to think of getting
serious anyway. You are inclined
to regard your kid sister as baby.
but after all, she is only l year
and half younger than you are.

I'm sure every one that reads

THE ALBEE CLAN
When sugar ratiOning first

High school math teacher, still
kept the sugar bowl on the
the dining room table-with
poor results. 1t seems the four
little Albees shot the works
early i'm the week and con-
sequently went without later.
Mechanically inclined EN-
ory solved the problem by CIV
ing each of the kids his own

lotment now split six ways at
the beginning of each week, the
Younger Albees are less inclined
to be reckless with sugar on
