Gypsies Forego SoOthsaying
to Help Nation Produce Crops

FRESNO, Cal. Up Migrants
are nothing new to California, but
the migrants haven't always been
real gypsies.
Now. however, more than 200
gypsles of the non-fortune-telling
variety are settled in San Joa-
ouin valley. All of them are too
busy working in vital war crops
for the food-for-freedom program
TO have their palms crossed with
silver.
More gypsies are expected to ar
rive soon, ordered to this area by
Louis Mort. farm labor co-ordina-
tor for the Romany clans through
out the United States. One of the
tribesmen pointed out that gypsies
long since have given up horse
trading for nomad agricultural la
Dor. touring the entire West from
southern California to Idaho, de-
pending on where Mort feels they
they are needed
Praised by Employers
The police chief of. Mendoza,
where the Romany camp is estab-
lished, reported that they are well
behaved citizens. Managers for
whom they are harvesting crops
say they are excellent workers.
Most of them work in carrot and
broccoli fields. but younger ones
are in the armed forces or nearby
defense industries.
To be on good terms with a gyp-
sy. it's best to refer to him as
Romany. The name gypsy. they
feel. has unpleasant connotatons
of sharp dealings in horse tradings.
They also scott at the theory that
every Romany clan has its own
king.
The President OF the United
States is our king. one said.
Support War Effort
Names of clan members are con-
fusing even to some OF the gypsies.
They themselves are not sure
where or when they acquired such
surnames as Peterson or Jones.
One Romany explained it by say
ing:
Maybe my folks did not know
how to spell their real name when
they landed at Ellis Island
Widely scattered as they are
