The Mayors Council Tuesday
sent letter to Rev. Morris Robin
son, chairman Of the board Of edu-
cation, and School Superintendent
Willard GOslin, commencing them
for employing Mrs. Mary Ellis a.
a teacher in the Minneapolis public
schools.
The letter-signed by Wilfred G.
Leland, the Councils executive Sec
retary-said in part, I've believe
that this constitutes sound and
progressive educational policy. In
fact, no technique for intergroup
education is more effective than
the constructive day-to-day con-
facts between people of different
racial origins such as those which
will be experienced by this teacher
and her students"

them"
The staff decided, first of all
that the House should emphasize
activities for adults. Too many
parents" Miss Garden said,
send their children here to US,
but don't come around them
selves.We have activities for
every age group"
I'VE want to improve the quail
ity as well as the quantity of our
work too" Miss Garden said. "If
we aren't doing more than just
keeping the kids off the streets,
I'd want to close tomorrow"
The House plans also to sponsor
activities in which the whole fam
lily can take part. The Halle staff
feels that family ties are weaken
ing, and, in an attempt to streng-
then them, the House wants to
have at least one night a month
when families will come as a group,
have supper and play games.
1--WE also plan to form a club
for newcomers" Miss Garden
said. "Our community has grown
rapidly in the last few years and
We want to try to bring the new
Corners into the community life"
Regular House activities will go
on as usual this year, Miss Garden
said. She listed especially adult
classes in home-making, flower ar
rangements, dressmaking, and
others, Sunday afternoon forums
on the second and fourth Sunday
Of each month-the first one will
be Nov. Coed group activities,
movies Saturday mornings for
small children, music groups, a
junior discussion group which is
being planned by the young people.
In addition there will be a well
baby clinic and a branch Of the
family nursing service, and a
branch of the st. Paul public
library, through which readers
may order and return books from
the main library as well as those
in the building.
Miss Garden said that Hazel
Butler, who has been office secre-
tary for II years, is retiring and

Mr.. Dodson, who retires on 0c-
tober /, after twenty-five years
service, started on the job as a
combination porter and caller on
September 10, 1922. The Mime
apolis bus depot was just a small
one-room station at 20 North
Seventh Street.
DOdsOn acted as porter
from 5 am. to 7 am. when the
first bus went out. From 7
am. on, he called busses,
checked baggage, handled
freight, pacified crying babies;
he did everything but sell tick
cts and operate the switch
board.
Dodson called buses on the side
walk in front of the bus depot
when he first started on the job,
but congestion of passengers on
the sidewalk would get so bad from
time to time, that the announcing
business finally had to move in
side. There we're no microphones in
those days. Calling was through
sheer lung power.
The bus business grew by
leaps and bounds from the
puddle jumpers" stage to the
highway super-cruisers of the
present day.
In 1887, the depot was expanded
to include the entire corner front
ing on Seventh Street and First

HOnOred With
Talks, Scroll

Charles l.. Horn, who had spent
the evening listening to several
speakers, including Gov. Luther
Youngdahl, praise him for his fair
employment policies at Twin Cities
Ordnance plant during the war,
lived up to his reputation for being
outspoken by scolding his Negro
hosts.
Blaming Negroes as a group for
mot having enough courage" Horn
said, you've got to fight, not run
out. You can't expect white people
to carry you around on a platter
all your life. But you know,
Negroes are going to make prog
ress in spite Of themselves"
Along with the praise, Horn,
the last speaker at the dinner
in his honor last Monday, took
lot Of joking from earlier
speakers, especially from vii.
fred C. Leland, executive sec
rotary of the Mayors Council
on Human Relations, who rep
resented Mayor Hubert Hump
hrey, and from Frank Madden,
who represented Mayor John
McDonOugh, Of st. Paul.
Leland said that Horn is "trou-
blesome because he is an indepen-
dant thinker who has the courage
to stand up for his ideals"
Mitchell Chief Speaker
Clarence Mitchell, labor secre-
tary Of the NAACP and former
executive secretary Of the st. Paul
Urban League, was the principal
speaker. In his address, Freedom
to Buy Bread" Mitchell said that
Horn was a man who "had made
democracy work in his own estab-
lishment."
There have been many
times when those who were
seeking to persuade other en-
plOyers to hire without dis
elimination have found the job
less difficult because they were
able TO point TO this plant as
an illustration Of what could
be done"
Mitchell spoke Of the need for a
new freedom, the freedom to buy
bread" and said that the rest Of
the world will watch closely "to see
whether this experiment Of many
races, many creeds, and many
points Of view forming a common
country will be successful"
He pointed out that whether
we like it or not we work in a great
glass laboratory Of democracy. We
are exposed to the view Of the
whole world"
FEPC Called Starting Point
As a way Of working toward
freedom 10 buy bread, Mitchell
said that "the passage Of q
federal fair employment prae-
tice law Is one Of the starting
points for those who wish to
see no man waste his gifts in
establishment because he is
not white"
He congratulated the people Of
Minneapolis for having won
city fair employment ordinance,
but said that the problem must
be attacked on a nationwide scale
by the passage Of a federal law"
Governor Wants FEPC

rotary, and that this action will
pave the way for the adoption Of
