10 find out about pumpkins or
squashes, is TO plant few diff

they pumpkins or squashes, their
culture is similar, so sow the
seed when the ground is warm
and give the plants plenty Of

Seed should not be sown until
the soil has became thoroughly

may be soWn until July LIST, but
winter squash and pumpkin seed
should be in the ground within

ty Jail when she failed to raise
the amount set by Circuit Court
Judge Blaine w. Hatch at a

ers and Selik were identified by
police as former Purple gang
sters.
Judge Hatch set Monday for
hearing on Sigler's request that
the River Rouge waitress and
nine other witnesses should be
Endorsed for the conspiracy trial.
The nine are from Albion, the
late Senator's home town.

Combat Vets
Go On Parade
100 Receive Medals
for Bottle heroism

BATTLE CREEK, June Is -
(P)- Better than 1000 combat
veterans, all wounded soldiers
now convalescing at Percy Jones
Hospital Center took part in an
impressive regimental parade
here Thursday afternoon as a
climax to special ceremonies in
which nearly a hundred other
combat veterans received med
ais earned overseas.
The fact that the parade was
being reviewed not only by two
Generals but also by the Gls
just honored by the United
States government gave 1t a
dramatic touch. While the pa
rade marched by, soldiers who
had just been given their med
ais stood at attention. The ma
jority of them were on crutches.
one was missing leg and sew
eral had their arms in elaborate
casts.
Not all the marching soldiers
were in perfect step but it was
parade complete with band
that would stack up against any
in training camp. Considering
the majority of participants
were bed patients just a few
weeks or months ago it was an
extra impressive performance.
Brig. Gen. Joseph E. Bastieon,
commanding officer of the CEN
ter, and Maj. Gen. Howard M.
Snyder, assistant inspector gen
eral, reviewed the parade after
awarding the medals. =
Among the dozen Michigan
sons honored was one civilian,
1t. Russell c. Aubrey, Lake
view, already discharged from
the Army. Aubrey returned TO
Fort Custer Thursday so that
he might receive the silver star
he earned for "gallantry in ac-
ton" with the Infantry in New
Guinea last August. An air me-
dial with four oak leaf clusters
for merit achievement while
taking part in an attack on rail-
road bridges in Italy last August
went to Sgt. James J. Caper
who lives near Niles.
A Muskegon Heights boy, Ro-
bert H. Wheater, 1882 jefferson,
was awarded the bronze star for
heroic action in Fraulautern,
Germany, when he persuaded rs
Germans to surrender. AS told
by his citation, Wheater was
painfully wounded in the arm
and then craWIed through a
battered wall, only to find HIM
self in room crowded with
German soldiers. Undismayed
by his own precarious position
Wheater promptly started per
Suading the ferries to give up.
Meanwhile his comrades con-
tinued to fire rockets into the
building. Finally he was Sue
cessful and all rs surrendered.
The following Michigan men
were given purple hearts:

current opinion, the new President
successfully evaded such matters as

the last campaign. A provocative
news story, which did him little

which President Roosevelt is un-
derstood to have had in mind He
must avoid catering to the south

Unless he does these things, or a

The late President smashed pre-

two Negro republics, Liberia and

republics visited him in Washing

The role his wife, Mrs. Eleanor

makes her departure from t h 9

SAVED DEPRESSED NATION


SAVED DEPRESSED NATION
America was gripped in its great
est economic depression and mil
lions of Negroes were jobless when
Roosevelt took the reins of govern
ment in 1888. He Immediately set
up various federal relief organiza-
tons for the poor and needy,
which included the Negro masses,
wherein racial discrimination was
discarded
Franklin Delano Roosevelt made
a masterful stroke to enforce equal
rights for Negroes in sharing the
benefit of public relief by organi-
zing what is Familiarity known as
a "black cabinet" consisting of a
group of Negro leaders who advised
him about Negro affairs. These
leaders were given positions of re-
sponsibility to curb racial discrimi-
nation against members of their
race, marking the first time in the
history of America President had
openly concerned himself to such
an extent with the welfare of Ne
gro citizens.
Some of the outstanding MEM
bers of the sO-called "olack cabt-
net" were Mrs. Mary Mcleod Be
thune, an unofficial adviser to Mr..
Roosevelt on sill matters affecting
Negroes; Walter White, executive
secretary of the NAACP. who con-
ferred with the President regularly
and Charming Tobias, national Y.
M. c. A. secretary, who served on
various boards for Mr. Roosevelt.
Again in l94l, he shattered his
toric precedentS when he set up the
Committee on Fair Employment
Practices by executive order. Ra-
cial discrimination in war plants
and factories was banished by fed
eral regulation for the first time
in American history. The. steady
retreat of jimcrow in the armed
forces has been credited as the
handiWork of President Roosevelt.
