First Lady Speaks
To BrOOkIynites

BROOKLYN, New York, (C>
Before a crowd of 5000 at
AME Zion Church, Mrs Eleanor
Roosevelt graciously discussed
the Importance of education in
Iurtherance of democracy.
Education is not just what
you get in school but comes
from a happy atmosphere in
the community in which the
individual lives" she said. She
congratulated the Brooklyn
1nter-racial Assembly for It's
fine work in getting the Grand
Jury to admit in a new de-
cision that they had erred
when they "castigated the
Stuyvesant-Bedford section as
overrun with vandalism"
Then with a hopeful ring in
her voice, the First Lady stated
that there must be no discrim-
nation in race, creed or color
when our boys return from
over there, but rather all Mi
norities will be teated alike.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. 81
New York was thrilled a few
days ago over the coming o fthe
cadet navigators of our racial
group. Twenty-four Of them left
Hondo Field, Texas, in a fleet
of eight planes accompanied by
other white airmen. Included in
the number was the son of some
friends Of mine who live in AS
bury Park, New Jersey. Reading
where their son would make the
New York trip, the proud
parents from the Jersey sea-
shore, DR.. and Mrs. Richard B.
Carter, decided to give their dar-
ing offspring a pleasant surprise
by meeting him at LaGuardia
Field. Accordingly, they jour
neyed to New York and stood
among the huge crowd gathered
to greet the young birdmen. AS
the planes circled the field, their
hearts beat with gIee. Here was
history in the making and young
Richard was a part Of it. Their
minds went back to the days of
his youth when he made models
Of the giant design he would be
navigating. They recalled his in
tereSt in science and engineering
at the University of Pittsburgh
where both fathe rand son had
taken their degrees. With such
thoughts. the proud parents
rushed to the landing planes to
clasp their son to throbbing
ooson1s. But the gods were cruell
No Richard appeared from the
ships that had come to a stop.
Again, there were only six.
What had happened to the
other two? Where was young
Dick? The suspense was too
great for a father who was not
too well. Returning to the city,
it was learned that two of the
planes were grounded in Kan
sas City and with the weather
conditions rather unfavorable, it
was doubtful if these ships would
come on to New York. 1t was too
much for both parents. Tears
Welled from the mothers eyes.
The father collapsed in the office
OF a local newspaper. Later he
came to my home and was i'm
mediately put to bed unable to
stand the strain and anxiety
plus the keen disappointment.
AS he lay in bed, I called the
airport and newspaper Offices
hourly to get some word from
the grounded planes hoping to
give him some word of cheer
and comfort. Nothing of the sort
was Forthcoming. Sadly. the
parents decided to return to

status Of the several thousand

space and have no control Of
the operators working in their
shops. The department, while
postponing the cases, is ignoring
the contention, claiming booth
renting is Illegal and continues
to serve the subpoenas. New
shop owners are being told by
offlcials Of the Health Depart
ment that booth-renting is il
legal. From all indications, both
departments are cooperating in
the latest moves against the
hair dressers. To make matters
worse, agents from the internal
revenue department are check
ing shop owners for Social Sc
curity payments and withhold
ing taxes.
Meanwhile, chapter LOT, the
New York City organization,
Mrs. Gertrude Thomas, presi-

Mrs. Maude Gadsen, president,
have ordered their legal depart

lives and $42O,0OO,OOO in property

Here in Maryland we can take
satisfaction in the fact that, de-
spite the increase nationally in fire
losses, our loss from this cause
was less in 1913 than in 1912, and
all indications point to further
substantial reduction this year.
This we have been able to do in
spite of greatly increased war pro-
duction, the loss of one-third of our
fire fighting forces to the Armed
Services, and curtailed equipment.
This fine record must not, however
cause us to relax in any way in
our efforts, but should rather in
