New England bulletin., 1949-05-07

worded a little differently, such as: "This country would never fight Russia" it would not have caused so much commotion. But
 because MT. Robeson is a Negro, il has caused quite a bit of distur- bance.
 Willard B. Rogers, the chairman of the State Development Commits sion doesn't even like the idea that dent of Enfield.
 Pm not trying to favor Mr. Robeson's comment. Nevertheless we must remember that he is a human being and according to our Constitution, a person is entitled to speak his mind freely.
 There are exconvicts, killers, racketeers and politicians that are living in our various communities throughout the country who haven't been asked to leave their homes.
 I'm quite sure that we cannot put MT. Robeson in the same cate gory. Whether he's Communist or not is something that I don't know.
 I do not believe in Communism, but if that is something that he believes in, as far as I am con- cerned, he is entitled to his be- lief.
 The biggest thing that is wrong the obligations which he took upon himself by stating that Negroes would never fight Russia. I be- lieve he is wrong, and if Mr. Robe son should return to the United States and to his home in Enfield, I believe he will find very cool reception, in fact, so cool that I don't believe the statement will help further his career as a singer, actor or a semi-politician.
 Of course, these things which you have read above, is just one mans opinion. We've got to wait until the pinple comes to a head and assure you that I am most anxiously awaiting the develop ments of this situation.
 . Chit-Chat
 When I was sixteen years old thought my dad was the dumbest man in the world, but when I got to be twenty-one years old I was surprised how much my father had learned within the last five years. Who was dumb? |. There are some of the most willing people in this world, there are some who are willing to go to work and then there are others who don't care if they do go to work A daily prayer-Dear Lord, please teach me to keep my nose out of other peoples business Let me live in a house by the side of the road and be the friend to man. But, who can find a house nowadays to live in? East Side, West Side, all over Waterbury's town. What will you find but people looking for jobs, and I do mean-looking for jobs. The first week of April, 1850 will commence the Census year. My, how the time rolls by.
