One day my brother Sonny an6
thought it would be great fun tc
have a puppet show So I invited
my girl friend, Lorraine Glaberman
120 Fifteenth street Sc, and Sonny
asked his friend, Alvin Picower, 2
Seventeenth street Sc, to come
too.
The puppets were easy to make
We went up to Lorraine's balcony
where there is tree hanging over
1t. From the branches, we picked
off some sticks which had three
points on them, to use for the arms
and head. Then, while the boys
were making the stage, the girls
made the dolls.
First. we found an old magazine
and cut heads of some movie stars
like Shirley Temple and Zazu Pitts
for the play was to be "Cinderella')
and pinned the heads to the middle
point of the sticks. Then, out of
colored paper, we cut the clothes.
When Lorraine and 1 were done,
We went downstairs and helped the
boys finish the stage After all our
work was done, we wondered when
to give the show. We decided to
have it on Sonny's birthday.
With our plans for "Cinderella' a
success, Sonny thought it would be
good idea to give whole series of
shows. The next one will be The
Golden Pears"

Uncle Rays Corner

Money is needed to carry on wars.
We read about that when there are
drives for the sale of Victory Bonds,
and we hear it over the radio.
In past times, when there was no
radio, and when wars did not cost
so much, there was need for money
and it was harder to get.
During the American Revolution,
there were times when George
Washington's soldiers had little food
and when there was shortage of
weapons. If money had not been
supplied at the right moments, the
fight for independence might have
been lost.
The world knows how a British
born colonist named Robert Morris
stepped forward to help finance the
American Army, but only a little
had been written about another COL
onist who gave his fortune for the
same cause. The other colonist was
Haym Solomon.
Born in Lissa, Poland, in 1740,
Solomon spent his early years among
the Poles. Then his family moved
to Holland.
At the age of 80 he sailed across
the Atlantic. He wanted to become
a settler in the New York. Soon
after landing, he went to Philadel-
phia to make his home.
That was only three years before
the outbreak of the Revolution
There already was talk of trouble
between Great Britain and the COL
onies and it did not take the new
settler much time to join a little
group of patriots.
Solomon had been successful in
business in Holland and his success
continued in Philadelphia. He was
known as a broker and much OF
his work had to do with foreign
trade. AS time passed his fortune
grew.
Then came war, and meeting OF
the Continental Congress in Phila-
delphia. Among those who attended
the Congress was young man from
Virginia, James Madison This fu-
ture President was filled with de-
sire to help the colonies win freedom
but he had his personal problems
Nowsand then he would ask Solomon
for loans to use in paying his uv-

During these war years, when the
recording of overwhelming current
events has been made in reports of
foreign correspondents and narra-
tives of contemporary historians. it
is interesting to note also the poetry
and the many voices of the fighting
men themselves, who have spoken
of their emotions, faith and courage
in verse.
A number of interesting antholo-
gles have been published, and also
many small, individual collections.

Fairfax High School
Has Its Own WPA,
And It's Fun, Too
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
BY Virginia Burke, I6,
Fairfax High School.

Although all schools now are do
Ing war work, I feels ours at Fair
fax High is both interesting and
important.
We have a project called the
WPA. This stands for Walkers
Project Administration" Mr.. Walker
is our principal.
If we make any unsatisfactory
marks during a six-week period, we
are disqualified for recreation. Our
obligation then is to 60 to our home
room and study. If any one doesn't
report to his homeroom, he must
serve on the WPA for two weeks.
Some Of the jobs that the students
do are: Sweeping the halls, audi
torium, stage and Offices; dusting
the library and Offices, cleaning and
polishing the library tables and office
desks, picking up paper from the
grounds and throughout the build
ing, and many other tasks too
numerous to mention.
Tardy pupils are sent to different
rooms to wash boards and do various
other jobs.
Another way in which we are
helping is that every sixth period
class has charge of cleaning the
room it occupies.
In our particular homeroom, three
people take care of this each day.
In seven days, we each have had a
turn, and the persons who do the
worst job get an extra turn. This
job includes dumping the desks and
Strengthening the rows, sweeping,
cleaning the boards, busting, adjust
ing shades, making sure all the win
doWs are down and all lights are off.
This is fun because we have only
five minutes in which to do it in.

ing expenses. Solomon was glad to
make the loans, and would not take
interest for the service.
The years of the Revolution
dragged by, and each one seemed
harder than the last. Solomon
worked as a Government agent, SELL
ing cargoes from vessels captured by
the Americans. From time to time he
was asked to make loans to the Gov
ernment One of these loans helped
to save the Bank of North America
from failing.
Solomon belonged to the Jewish
faith, and perhaps the most dra-
matte event in his life took place on
Yom Kippur, while a religious cere-
mony was going on. In the midst of
the service, courier from Gen.
Washington entered the building
and handed letter to Solomon.
After reading it, he said to the
courier, Tell Gen. Washington that
his appeal shall not be in vain.'
Then he spoke to the whole con-
gregation, saying:
THE general is in urgent need OF
5000 ,0O0."
The money was needed for Wash
ingtons' army Within a few hours
Solomon turned over the rest of his
fortune to the Government, and
several of his friends advanced funds
to make the total what had been
asked.
The Revolution, at last, came to a
successful close, but the funds OF
the Government were small ano
there seemed to be no money to pay
back what Solomon had advanced
The little broker of Front street
became bankrupt. He was a frail
man, and died of an illness within
two years after the peace treaty
was signed. BY pouring money into
the Revolution, he had become very
poor, but he had the comfort OF
knowing that he had given every
thing to bring about the birth of q
new nation.

| ~ Miriam Young. (Whittle-
seq: $780,
When the Floradora chorus
danced of the stage, mothers
shapely leg was the last one to dis
appear. Back in the golden age
OF vaudeville, it was a remarkable
achievement to be a Floradora girl,
but to become one at Is was some
thing that people should know
about.
| To make sure that they shall
know about it, Miriam tells this
Intimate and appealing backstage
story Of the lives Of couple of old
time troupers-her parents-with all
the gay trimmings of the gaslight
era. She catches the humorous
aspects of wing life in a thousand
and one little anecdotes.
Her mother was a dancer and
her father a comedian. Her early
years were series of Christmases
on trains, nights in small towns and
growing up between acts. She knew
what practical joke was before
she could walk-jokes at the ex-
pense Of the stage manager, fellow
actors, train conductors and wait
ers. She knew the heartache of
being left behind in a boarding
school. She knew the wonderful
feeling of going home to taste
of real family life in their own
house in Brooklyn, and living next
to the same neighbors for more
| than week at a time.
Because Miss Young was real
trouper herself, she can write about
troupers in realistic fashion. More
than anything else in the book,
there's deep appreciation for the
faults and blessings of a bygone
period, faults and blessings, but
more often hearty chuckle which
the reader is able to appreciate as

By Annette Edacards, IL,

The fog creeps out of the sea at
night
On softly sandled feet;
He creeps along with never a sound,
For his tread is light and fleet.
He spreads his mantle of soft, cool
mist
Over the sleeping town.
He shuts gray doors on the starlit
sky
And turns the moon-l lamp down.
He owns the town for the hours Of
night,
But when the sky turns grey,
He gathers his mantle about him
And silently steals away.

This is a book of 224 pages devoted

were a wronged people, they were
the superior people. Both are ap-
parently written in passion to prove
a thesis.
Howard Fasts story is designed to
prove that the reconstruction gov
ernment Of South Carolina was an
enlightened regime which, if it had
been allowed to continue, would
have resulted In great benefits to
the State He tells this through the
history of a Negro member of the
reconstruction Legislature, whom
he considers typical, former slave
who, at the time of his election,
could barely read. The govern
ment of the State In the recon-
struction period was, of course, sup
ported by Federal troops which were
withdrawn on the election of Presi-
dent Hayes. Mr.. Fast holds that
the withdrawal was a wrong and a
calamity. Had the educated and
formerly prosperous white men re-
manned under armed force, he says,
the Negroes would have guided
South Carolina to a condition of
well being which it has not since at
tanned.
Henrietta Buckmaster tells a love
story in which the daughter of a
mildly prosperous planter marries a
poor mountain boy with violent anti
slavery feelings. The pair engage in
helping slaves escape and, in gen.
eral, in doing abolitionist work. The
husband rises in politics and repre-
sents his point of view in the State
Legislature. When the South secedes,
they are obliged to flee. There is a
good deal of honest feeling in Miss
Buckmaster's portrayal of the Ne
groes and the mountain white people
but she mars her work by the un-
qualified hatred which she shows for
the prosperous and educated.
