cation is requesting that Negro
vtterans be appointed to policy
making positions in the Veterans
Bureau, in its national and vari-
Gus set-ups.
In view of your broad under
standing of the problems that

your sympathetic attitude, and
your Expressed desire that all
veterans be cared for alike, we
feel that you could conscientious
ly make the appointments with
out fear or favor. Trusting you
will give this matter your i'm
mediate attention and take under
consideration recommendation
made by this organization, l re-
main,
Sincerely yours,

successful tour on Friday, April

the tour. Meeting at Robert Han
sons at Travilah the group con-
tinued around the county and end
ed up at Poolesville late in the
evening. Mr.. Kalbe from Prince
Georges County and Mr.. John
Small, Laytonsville, were guests
of the club.
The members had the opportun-
ity to see the correct ways of rails
ing baby beeves and learned some
new things they can do when they
get home. Each member kept a
record of each boys calf as to the
feed, salt, water, cleanliness of
calf, feed boxes and hay rack.
Most of the steers seemed to be
coming along very well with a few
outstanding individuals and few
who did not measure up quite to
par which may be attributed to
new feeders or maybe the neglect
of the club member. All in all the
tour proved very successful.
