 Folks in Marshall are wondering whether there is any connection in the deaths of these vets with the possible responsibility for the pre- sence of MP's at the polling places in Marshall during the July 27th primary. Perhaps the local "gau- letters" objected to Negro ex-GPs taking steps to ensure those voting fighting a war to protect.

Happy Hour Club

The Happy Hour Club of Belle vue Square was organized on Oc- tober 20, 1943. Starting with only three members this club has taken in quite a few others.
 The main reason for the organ ization of this club now known as the Happy Hour Associates was to benefit Bellevue Square and or ganize younger groups for the same purpose, especially to pro- tect property, sanitation and help get the much needed police pro- lection.
 This club in the past three years has given many social affairs such as musical teas, contests, and ban quets in order to raise funds to support them.
 This past year Mrs. Florence Cunningham, president. with the help of the tenants of Bellevue Square has managed to organize the Drum and Bugle Corps of the North End She has worked faith fully with the children and as ac- complished a fine thing for the Negro race of Connecticut. The children are now striving for their uniforms and hope to have them in the near future. These children are also a part of the club only of the younger group.
 The group is especially grateful to MT. Samuel Dubrow who has given the Drum Corps their first contribution in the drive. Also many thanks to him for paying for their photos.
 We are alsog rateful to MT. Daniel Fletcher, who is manager of Bellevue Square.

FAT SALVAGE PERSONAL

Housewives who live in rural areas have an opportunity to turn in much greater quantities of used fat than urban women. Used fat from farms is not saved in kitch- ems alone; it comes from butcher ing and fallen animals, too.
 Farm participation in the fat salvage drive is very personal - nearly every rural home in the na- tion has made it do" or "done without" during the war years.
 Household and other items and farm equipment will be available sooner if farm wives conscientious ly save and turn in every drop of used fat. Laundry soaps, packaged soaps, clothing, equipment and many other products require in- edible fats and oils to make.
