who want to enjoy American liberty
On the base of this statue are en-.
graved these inspiring words:
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses, yearning te

The wretched refuse Of your teem-

Send these, the homeless, the temp

lift my lamp beside the golden

Probably no delegate attending
the convention has ever read these
words, either on the base of the
statue itself or in any book. Nor
could any have heard them spoken
Resolutions Adopted.
For among the resolutions
adopted, without dissent, was one
to maintain our present inmmigra-
ton and naturalization barriers and
to bar Constitution Hall, dedicated
to that great instrument upon
which our American liberties rest,
to any except white artists, no mat
ter how outstanding such artists
may be. The Daughters also op-
posed Federal aid to education and
called for adequate appropriations
for the continued work of the OBJ
noxious House Committee on un-
American Activities which, origin
ally known as the Dies Commit
tee, later became the instrument
for the hysterical histrionics of John
Rankin, the "bawl" weevil of Mis-
sissippi. Moreover, those who are
straining at the leash in their
eagerness to start an old fashioned
Witch-hunt, after the manner OF
the late A. Mitchell Palmer, will
also find encouragement in the reso-

FEATHER
HISTORY TOLD
o.
Symbol OF Chest Cam
paigns Has Ancient
Background

Tho Red Feather, adopted two
- wears ago as the symbol OF ma
- tional Community Chest cam
e paigns, has an interesting anu M
ancient history, according to H.
: A. Marks, president OF the Com
munity Chest, soon to start theli
. .nnual drive for a goal of Ill.,
. 996.
Yesterday, Marks observed,
wearers of the feather are
legion. and the organizations
beneath it's banner symbohze
American democracy at WORK
with it's voluntary units dedl-
Gated to public service.
But. as far back as 1850, When
the Black Prince decreed that
unusual acts and deeds OF valor
or shivalry performed by hi $
knights, should be rewarded
with a red plume worn in the
gladiator helmet, the red tea
ther has been he sign of fear
lessness, purity and topknotch
ability, Marks continued.
Long ago in the realm of King
Richard, according to history,
Robin Hood gave a red feather
to his merry men" for out
standing deeds of goodness.
Bri ght crimson feathers
adorned the headdress of tn e
Magyars in the belief that with
such symbol warrior could
not taste defeat in battle. Many
tribes of Indians marked their
most courageous braves with
eagle feathers dyed scarlet.
In ancient China. the feather
robe, or "Hagoromo" was sup
posed to insure Immortality, and
former resident of Honolulu
claims the sign of royalty was
the red feather robe worn by
the ancient Hawaiian king.
"R e d Feathers services !
observe the panorama of human
needs" declared Marks. "They |
bring to thousands, tolerant, un-
derstanding aid, not charity but
service, not shame or embarras-
sment, but helpful guidance,
educational counsel. and con-
structive programs of true dem
ocratic ideals"
Organizations included among
the Red Feather services are
recreation and character build
ing groups, youth agencies,
health services of visiting
nurses, child care programs, un-
married parents, i'll and handi-
capped groups foreign born, and
the family.
To all members of the COM
munity, the services which wear
the red feather, are available to
the public" Marks asserted.
"They are a public service and
public trust, made possible by
the voluntary giving of men,
women and children who care
. and share to build together a
: finer place to live, play, work
and Worship" he said.

in one breath-taking instant, all her
mingled memories Of Dred Cum

him as he came across the Waldorf
lobby. He was older - six years
older, Janet reckoned quickly-and
his face was burgeoning slightly
with the subtle promise OF another
chin. But he still wore his custom
made charm as debonarily as his
weI-tailored clothes.
Janet f1icked down her glove and
looked at her watch. Three twenty
five. This certainly was no time to
be renewing the past. She leaned
back in her chair and turned as
though to speak to the small boy
standing at her elbow. Perhaps
Dred wouldn't recognize her. Per-

Attacked, Imprisoned
Because of Whiskers

Between 1880 and 1910 in Fitch
burg, Mass, a Joseph Palmer was
the target of the strangest perse-
cution in American history, says
Golfers. Because he wore beard
against the protestations of the
townsfolk, he was snubbed by his
friends, sneered at by the trades
people, stoned repeatedly by small
boys and finally attacked by four
men who attempted to cut off his
whiskers by force.
Palmer put up a stiff resistance
and finally escaped unharmed,
only to be arrested later for fight
ing. When brought to trial, he was
found guilty, but as he refused to
pay his fine was sentenced to
prison for more than a year.
