two centuries, the tip wss

1t was the Great Pasture"
of the first settlers and long
remained uninhabited. Be
fore 1900 only ten families
lived there. In later years the
territory was unoff1cially divid-
ed into the Great Neck" and
Little Neck"
Great Neck" stretched from
the west side easterly along
Broadway to the Point opposite
Castle Island. Little Neck"
was along Boston and Dor
chester SITS about to Eighth st;
which was earlier called North

Great Neck" although the
move was strenuously objected
to by Dorchester; was annexed
to the Town of Boston by an
act of General Court passed
March 6, 1904. It took the
name of South Boston and this
portion had an area then of
approximately $50 acres
Little Neck" remained as
part Of the old Town of Dor
chester. In 1886, the inhabi-

being four miles from the
town house and upwards of a
mile from school, petitioned to
be joined to the City of Bos-
ton. The Town of Dorchester
opposed annexation and a
committee of the General
Court also reported against
the measure.
On March 4, 1850, Little
Neck" became officially known
as Washington Village" This
rapidly growing section of the
Town of Dorchester; in meas
urement about $50 acres and
with a population of about 25n
voters; was annexed to Boston
on May 81, 1855.
A new line was established
between the City of Boston
and the northerly edge of the
Town of Dorchester. 1t ran
from the mouth of Roxbury
Brook, near the intersection of
the railroad and Shirley st, eX-
tended, in an easterly di-
rectiop, to an old creek by
the curve in the Old Colony
R. R. bed.
The path Of this line would
follow, approximately; the
present line of Howell ST,
across Boston st, straight to a
point where locust st if eX-
tended would intersect Old
Colony ave, near the South
Boston Stadium. The old creek
previously mentioned has been
filled in to become part of the
Strandway.

PRICES AT A sTANDsTILL

PRICES AT A STANDSTILL
When John came home the

wouldn't balanceI Our grocery
bill for July was $500 higher
than it should have been,
Juniors shoes had thrown the

"Why don't they give you a

told John my troubles. "How
do they make both ends meet
with prices going up and war
bonds to buy?"
But I hare had a raise" he
reminded me.
Eyes, months and months
ago." I replied. "since then
prices on practically every
thing have gone up still more!"
"And if everybody in the
country got a raise in wages,
the way you want me to-" he
explained, then prices would
have to go up again. After
that there'd be a nelU cry for
more raises and the imitation
cycle would be started in
earnest"
"You don't mean to tell me
better-wageS have anything 10

him.
Certainly they have. Wages
are a large part of the cost of
any article. When they go up,
costs are bound to rise. I'd

Segregation; It's Vicious
Purpose

Segregation is the special
American means of branding
COlOred Americans as the in
feriOrs of interiors in Public
status.
When the white South
found itself confronted with
the federal status of equality
for COlOred people, the former
slaves-equality of citizen
ship, of freedom, of franchise
rights, backed by the national
governmental selected the
denial of presence and of SER
vice in places opened for pub
lie patronage as the one great
way to brand COlored people
as having been a slave race
and make them forever the
ScOrn of civil society.
1t is a very effective meas
ure. COlOred people are trait
Ors to themselves to aid and
abet the idea by self-segrega-
ton.

from home era. MultlCuQeS OIL
modern youth sought their pleas
ures outside Of the family circle.
The automobile, the motion pictures
and the allure Of dance halls and
tap rooms were largely responsible
for this; though the restlessness and
thoughtlessness that followed World
War I was a basic factor. The his
toric picture of the family circle
became outmoded. And something
fine and essential went out from
our civilization.
Sober Second Thoughts.
War, and cognate causes, are in
ducing sober second thoughts. More
hard thinking, upon the essentials
of life, is being done today, by more
persons, than ever before. Youth
has become serious minded, and
more given to "long, long thoughts. +"
Naturally, the preciousness OF
home and family life is emerging
to it's primary place. The family
is the basic unit Of all organized
socitey. Out of its weaknesses
grow uncounted social ills; its
strength is the real strength Of
the Nation. No other motive to
sustain a people throughout a war
is equal to that Of the, preserva-
ton OF the home. This accounts
for the myriads Of civilian defense
workers on duty every day and
every night. We shall defend our
homes to the last drop of blood !:
What has befallen conquered Eu-
rope can never happen here. Hun
dreds of thousands of our military
forces are overseas to maintain q
first line of defense of our homes.
Equally urgent is the maintenance
of our traditional standards of home
life. To come directly to the core
of the subject, let us admit that re-
ligion is the first factor In a good
home. We shall have to get back to
the primacy of the place of God in
family life If we are to arrest the
recent trend toward powerless
homes. His presence unifies and
stabilizes and exalts all family re-
lationships. From earliest infancy
