Symphonic D'Amour" has some

idiom of Frances music halls. An
other OF its virtues is a nice ironic
portrait of French motion picture

whose flair for caricature has earned
her pleasant standing with

Jersey Eks Are Jim Crowed Via Strike Method

Salem, N J.-The New Jersey State Association of Negro Elks were faced with a new twentieth century method of jim-crowing when the eight restaurants of this city remained close for the fourth day, literally isolating the more than 1000 Negro delegates from convenient eating establishments. This convention is an annual af- fair and the strike set 8 record for the state as being the months worst act.
 Mayor Walter I. Bacon, said, "I certainly think they did the wrong thing by not staying open during ahe convention as he swore in 10 special deputies. The mayor al- so remarked, AT don't think there would have been any trouble"
 The delegates set up an emer- gency restaurant and dined with Negro residents throughout Sal em County, when the facilities of the city's only other eateries, two small Negro restaurants were overtaxed.

May we always remember that we
 have all one Father,
 That one God has created us all,
 that we are all Thy children. Give us Thy divine discernment
 that we may be not only
 Thy brothers keeper, but our
 brothers brother, seeing the best Tn all people, developing their per-

 To work together, to build together
 Thy Kingdom here on earth. Thus may we be worthy of the
 blessing of the Psalmist.
 Behold how good and how pleasant
 it is for brethren to dwell To-

 This was followed by a sincere address very appropriate for the ccoasion from Judge Charles Spencer Gross, a member of the Hartford Four dation for Public Giving representing MT. c. Spen- cer Goodwin, head of the Foun- "ation, who was unable to attend. Judge Gross in his address ex- pressed extreme pleasure as to the choice of the winner, and he stressed the fact that more edu- cational opportunities are needed by all minority groups.
 Bishop Gray then gave a brief history of the Inter-racial Com it's purpose, and the work His Excellency, Governor Raymond Baldwin de- livered one of the most sincere and far-reaching addresses that ever came forth from a man in public office.

Vets Convene

$50 delegates to the first Ma tional Convention of the American Veterans Committee at Des Moines, Iowa, proved exclusively that veterans can live and work together regardless of race, creed, color or any other artificial bar rier.
 Forty-two states were repre- scented at the Convention - and there were delegates from the deep South-yet there were no Jim Crow rules or customs of any kind. All the delegates are in the same restaurants, slept in the same hotels, met in the same meet ing halls. When one small restau- rant barred a Negro delegate late Saturday night the reaction among the AVG delegates was spenta- neous and effective. As soon as the delegate and friend were refused at the Rose Bowl, the estaurant in question, they told the AVG delegates in the restaurant what had happened. All the delegates immediately left the eating place, returned to Convention Headquar- ters across the street and notified chairman of the meeting which was in progress. A committee was appointed immediately which be- gan operating at once by ques- tioning the manager of the rest aurant. When they determined that the restaurants policy was Jim Crow, they immediately es- tablished a picket line, led by Oren Root, IT,, former head of the As sociated Willlkie for President Clubs a few years ago and, at present, noted attorney from New York City.

Senior Citizens Colony Esldeal

Perhaps you, too, have read about the Senior Citizens Colony and have wondered just what it was all about! This Colony for the Aged! To you, and to all who should know about this new plan for caring for senior members of our communities, and invitation to help create such a colony is ex- tended at the present time in the Hartford area. Petitions are being circulated among, Hartford voters in support of a resolution intro duced in the Common Council of Hartford by Alderman Maxwell E. Lerner, to provide a Senior Citi- zens' Colony for the needy aged of the city.
 Two years ago Hartford citi- zens voted at the polls for an ap- propria tion of $625, ,0OO for an old folks home. At the moment two plans have been presented. The Hartford Welfare Department has submitted a plan for a freproof brick building of three floors con- sisting of six-bed dorrlitories, etc. Three hundred twenty-five persons would live under one roof. Most of these patients would require in- firmary care. Proponents of the coloney idea, who envision a greater need, present the broader plan. This plan would provide small cott2 ges for older citizens who are still able to enjoy family life, dormitories for those who re- ouire a minimum amount of nurs- ing care, and in infrmary for those requiring full-time nursing care.

June 19, 1946, this afternoon at four } 5een eastern daylight time, your reporter witnessed his tory in the making in an event that will probably stamp itself m the minds of all attending for years to come.
 John c. Jackson, III, son of Mir. and Mrs. Walter Jackson, and the grandson of Rev. and Mrs. John c. Jackson,I, was the recipient of ficially of the 1946 scholarship award of $250O.OO.
 The award, donated by a most representative group of local cit izenry known as "The Hartford Foundation Cor Public Giving" and sponsored by the Connecticut Inter-racial Commission, was sec end orly in importance to the frank sincerity of the donors, sponsors and speakers for the oc- casion.
 Bishop Walter H. Gray of the Inter-racial Commission was mas ter of ceremonies for the mo- mentous occasion. The NAACP Choral group opened the cere- rnony by singing The Lords Pray err ably directed by Mrs. Connie Reedy Mills, with John Moore, a brother of the well-known piano teacher, Mrs. Rachel Moore My rick, and also of Russell Moore, celebrated young tenor of this city, at the organ.
 Rabbi Morris Silverman deiv- cred the invocation, which I feel is worthy of passing on to you: It was as follows:
 Eternal God who has fashioned us
 all in Thine image,
 We thank Thee for the manifes-
 tations of undersb7 nding and Friendship in OUT midst.

 In Mississippi, where many Ne groes will vote in primaries for the first time, supporters of Bill bo's white supremacy policies are planning violent opposition.
