DR.. Van Waters is great be-
cause no girl entering the Franz
ingham Reformatory was ever
considered lost hopeless. She kept
faith in power Of personality and
humane methods to work mir
acles- and they did! Each girls
case received her creative care
and guidance. She kept faith in
the power of love and service to
melt down the stony heart, and
effect a great change. Her meth
DDS worked; they got amazing
results in altered rebuilt lives
restored to society.
We all await the outcome of
the trial Of this great penologist,
who, like so many reformers, has
been stoned. Even if worst comes
to worst, DR.. Van Waters has
served our state well. The real
failure will be that Of the state,
itself. Often a cause has to have
martyr in order to succeed,
Changes of methods in all our
prisons are long overdue; and the
feudal conditions in many Of our
houses of detention reflect on
society itself which metes out the
punishment. DR.. Van Waters has
made great contribution to pri-
son reform and deserves all the
high praise that has been given
her.

!, THE EMPTY MAIL BOx

If you listen to Steve Allison
over WON from 1890 to 8 a. m.
from Freda's Capri Restaurant
you'll really get to know what's
happening in and around Boston.
Steve really keeps you abreast
with the times. Thursday night
or Friday morning, rather Steve
gave lecture on how important
it is that we should send mail of
some sort to our radio stations
and announcers. The radio is your
public servant, and the strength
of a program is judged by the
mail that's sent into that rar-
ticular program. WVOM's daily
program sheet is like roll call
Of the United Nations. 1t has al
most as many foreign programs
as there are nationalities in the
Greater Boston area. My program
happens to be the only one Of its
kind in Boston Or New England.
1t is considered one of the best
by the critics but my mail box is
always empty. Is it true, with all
the colored population here in
Boston that they fail to support a
program of their own?
People of Boston, l beg of you,
let us not be guilty Of such re-
port. The Greek program, the
Irish hour, the Italian hour and
all the rest have stacks of mail,
but the sepia program or the
sepia hour has received 3 letters
from colored persons since it's
been on the air and that was
Nov |, 1948. Each letter or card
that comes in is recorded and
credited to the specified program.
I'm trying to make showing
l cannot do this without your
support, so please let me hear
from you. 1t is the Eddy Petty
show from 2 to 5 p. m. Monday
through Friday.
Steve Allison has talent show
every Sunday right at the May
fair, 81 Broadway. If you think
you are talented and can sing,
dance or play an instrument,
write to Steve Allison Show,
Mayfair, 81 Broadway, Boston.
] am not saying much about
musical happenings in this issue
because am really disturbed
about the mail situation and now
you know, so please let me know
you know by dropping me a line.
l will be giving interesting news
events on the program each day
so keep tuned to 1000, top of the

You look at married life;
And though unskilled, think all you say

Not wholly rule us, but advise"

No loving wife could tyrannize
No husband would requite it.

A charming wife, sweet home, good bake,
Warrant a perfect liver.

Than taste Pieria's Fountain

ANY SELFISH attitude among

MINORITY group is a mighty

toss away dollars to gambling and

the NAACP aid of a widow

WE RECALL, during the last

agingly OF the NAACP until
their precious sons were sent to
train in the deep south for the
first time. When the boys wrote
back home about the conditions
in the south, and later, in other

In one of the finest sporting

Agricultural Center in Gathers
burg last Saturday night. This
marked the first defeat for the
Sandy Spring team which has
played seven games and certainly
speaks well for the Brookland out
fit. Unfortunately the weather had
been Indictment for two days and
although misty rain was falling
and the crowd was small, these
teams were so enthusiastic that
they insisted that the lights be
turned on and the game proceed.
Some football fans classified the
game as fast with fewer penalties
imposed and played in less time
than most college and professional
games thus far this season.
Much credit is due Henry Stab

for organizing this series of games
for the benefit of the Agricultural
