press party.
The occasion was the Washington

HARTFORD NOTES

The summer season is here and the interviewer selected the fol- lowing question. for public opinion. This week the answers are all from the feminine side, next week we will test male opinions.
 Question: Do you think that married couples should plan sep arate vacations?
 Mrs. Rose Williams, Springfield, Mass. - Yes, because it gives a couple a change from each other, and a chance to rest from the household cares and duties, and then it is so very, very nice to get home again.
 Mrs. Louise Pugh, Martin St., Hartford, Conn. - Yes, one week, not two. It is grand for a woman. to get away and visit other plac- es and friends. Most intelligent people do it anyway.
 Mrs. Kathryn Paul, Bloomfield, Conn. - No, for a vacation means a change of scenery, and couple with mutual interests will enjoy sharing a new place together, also it will give them many memories and things for conversation during the rest of the year. They will al so meet friends that they can agree to invite for visit during the year.

NAACP Drive Off To- Good Start

An all prevailing spirit of warmth swept the reception room of Mayor William c. Celentano here today (Tuesday) as the May or paid his respects to NAACP representatives, genial Dan Stew art, chairman, Mrs. Romietta Caple: Mrs. Jeanne P. Johnson and C. A. Hubbard, Secretary, in their drive to step up the membership. of the local NAACP.
 One could not help catching the crescendo of pure unaffectedness as His Honor quickly put all as- sembled at ease, and with sincere handcIasps assured MT. Stewart, as spokesman for the group, of his continued good will and un- swerving friendliness.
 In quiet conversation with the writer preceding the photograph ing ceremonies, MT. Stewart re- ferred pointedly to that part of the Association program that en- visions the restraining of veter- ans, better housing for veterans. also for all indiscriminately, bet ter recreational facilities and an overall program of rehabilitation particularly for the ex-serviceman.
 When informed of these obiec- tlves a bit later, Mayor Celentano, added that these particular actiy- ltles are and have been always in the forefront of his thinking and planning; some of them are due. too, he said, to come before the. city board very soon.
 Informed that the Negro Veter- ans Civic Organization had planned a program of instruction in salesmanship for all aspiring Negro youths and further that it was planned by that group to have various members of the chamber or commerce to instruct them at the community house on DixwelT Avenue, His Honor seemed unmis- takably pleased.

New Britain - Pvt. Thomas J. McDew, Jr., 19 year-old son of MT. and Mrs. Thomas McDew of 193 Hartford Ave, and a soldier, met tragic end last week while swim ming in an abandoned clay pit in Berlin.
 The tragedy occurred while his mother was enroute to graduation exercises of one of her four daugh- ters at Talladega College in Ala bama.
 In an attempt to swim across a clay pit with a friend, MT. Hud- son, son of MT. and Mrs. Sidney Hudson of 193 Hartford Avenue, Pvt. McDew found it necessary to call for help. MT. Hudson and two fellows who were walking by, Ed ward Apelgren, Jr., of 20 Olive Street and Donald DeMay of 36 Connerton Street tried to get Pvt. McDew out of the water.

Negro Congress
 ToSet Up Branch
By James Shankel

The opening salvo in the battle
 against high-handed procedure to-
 ward Negroes and other minority
 groups was fired last week, Tues
 day, at meeting on Dixweu Ave-,
 when "a local organizing group headed by G. Glover, R. Heath, l.. Groom and others gave local fo- GUS to a clarion call to, action by the National Negro Congress of Organizations. A provisional com mittee was voted into being, head ed by R. Heath, it's aim being to contact some sixty-eight organi- cations in this area with mini mum of twenty-five hoped for inn mediately.
 Painting a picture of continued abuses to the Negro on the one hand, lack of intelligent represen- tation and studied indifference on the other, MT. Glover speaking
 first, keyed the listening group to the gravity of the national sit uation and it's insidious threat to the economic status and survival of the colored man. Warming to the subject the speaker referred pointedly to such stereotyped sub terfuges as: attempts in certain Southern sectors to create labor pools by using cheap Negro labor and strike-breaking; to the Chi cago meat strike, where eighty percent of the pickets used were Negroes; to the recent shooting down in Freeport, l.. l., of three Negro men in military uniform by a white policeman who charged the victims with being "uppity," although the Negroes were later vindicated by military and he added, "the po- liceman is still unpunished."
 The need for a permanent FEPC was stressed by R. Heath; also for increased social security benefits, abolition of the poll tax, equality for all minorities. It is the aim of the proposed local group to func- tion in conjunction with the Ma 5ional body as political pressure group and as a spearhead for ac- ton as against such continued . notifications and abuses, he add ed.
 The organizing group envisions the inclusion of women members and a program of enlightenment designed eventually to bring the very best informed speakers to New Haven to discuss Negro prob lems.
 Members of the provisional or ganizing committee are: MT. liar old Rogers, chairman; MT. George Glover, recording secretary; MT. 1 R. Heath, financial secretary; MT. 1 L. Groom, treasurer. MT. Rogers | ,an be reached by telephone s-6127.

strike damned the big brother hoods, but said little or nothing of the billions of profits in the coffers of the companies. Against even the Army and the Navy it now ap- pears that Labor must pitch it's case. It has made mistakes. But the one agency of society which should understand and forgive these mistakes should certainly be the Christian Church. Working men have a right to expect this kind of understanding. They do not expect their ministers and their churches to play the silent role of strike-breakers and mal- contents.
 Today the menace of UNEM- PLOYMENT, U N IS A NIT A R Y AND INSECURE WORKING CONDITIONS AND LOW WAC ES PLAGUE THE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF WORKERS. They are fighting for better health higher standards of education, de- cent housing, care and security in their old age. They have a right to these things. Their method of obtaining them is through organ ization, and united action. They expect that the church which is supposedly interested in justice and the Kingdom of God shoul' certainly be interested in these things - on earth.
 Personally, this writer is weary of the OutwOrn complaint from the churches that they are losing in attendance. It is tiresome to hear the nagging, and beckoning of churches to the tOiling masses to come in and "be saved" when nothing is undertaken in behalf of their problems here. It is because of such deception on the part of the church that the masses stay away. They expect the simple everyday Gospel of the lowly Ma
