BETWEEN US NEIGHBORS
Py Arthur Johnson

The hands of the common man are slowly but surely reaching out to grasp each other in bond of fellowship, despite the ugly at- tempts of Klansmen, haters, and bigots, that blot our times, and on every front we note the innum- merable gains of liberal thinking.
 A firm step in this direction of fellowship has fceen evidence on the New York, New Haven, Hart ford Railroad in the reinstatement of three fellow workers, MT. Charles Hughes, MT. Roland Cams and MT. John Jenkins.
 Neighbors, this sounds like a rather ordinary fact, but it isn't for it means that these men of our community are no longer shunted out of the unity with their fellow workers. These men did not hesitate to rejoin, but were eager to assume their fair share of unionism. Important also, is it to note the word-re-instated, for it means that in the beginning the Negro members were union mind ed, but were forced out by the re- pulsive exclusion clause.
 Further proof of the union at titude of these men, is that MT. Rolan Cams was instrumental in bringing the AFL union to the East Hartford branch. MT. Cams was a committee man, for the company union Ga committee man is the go-between the company and the worker) and in this con- nection he discovered all the mal- practices of a company union Gin discrimanite firing practices no seniority protection, etc.) MT Cams wrote the letters that event ually brought the present Unior (AFL) and was fi1ancial-record ing secretary until forced out by the exclusion clause
 The immediate acceptance of re instatement by these men prove that they think as citizens frs and Negroes secondly.

 Question: What is your attitude towards the continuation of the OPA?
 This week as a follow up -on the last weeks question, the inter viewer tested male opinion on the question: Should married couples take separate vacations
 MT. J. D. Marshall, Sufield St. I believe that a couple of moderate means should plan a double vaca- tion, one week that would give them a chance to get away from the yearly routine, plus a week of sharing new interests and places.
 MT. Thomas Borders, North End Center-It depends on the per sonalities of the couple, if they clash, they should take separate vacations, then their ties will be stronger when they return; if they are in harmony, they could enjoy a better vacation together.
 MT. Dawson Shaw, Harrison St.-Yes, there should be per iod of separation, so that both parties could do something's alone, for example, a fishing trip with the boys. It is also a natural thing for a man to want to renew his independence, which in no way re- fleets upon his love for his wife and family.
