Negro Boy Hero
Weekly ''Shoony''
Letters To Children

ATHENS, Ga, April 2. CAN
PA new storybook hero has
captured the imagination of chill
dren throughout the country. He
is "Shoofly", a barefooted Negro
lad who sends out letters each
week to his children telling of the
domestic happenings of his family
his pets and of his adventures.
"Shoofly" is a mythical charact-
err created out of the combined
imaginations of two local white
women to afford entertainment
for their children and is based
on the doings of a Negro family
of five children that used to live
just beyond their backwards. The
plan of writing a story inspired
by the Negro family came out of
a coke session between the two
creators, Mrs. Weems Baskin,
now of Columbia, S. c., and Mrs.
Hayward Allen of this city.
The letters are attractively il
Illustrated by Miss Vera Neville and
written by Mrs. John Broadnax
who tells children's stories over
the radio. The creators actively
promoted the idea and secured
subscriptions to launch the pro-
ject.
"Shoofly" does everything boys
like to do in the south. He goes
on fishing trips, picnics and black
berry hunting, his principle modes
Of transportation being the cotton
wagon or his barefeet.
The letters tell of how "Shoo-
fly's" mother, Eliza, lets him keep
a pet racoon called "Spook'1, al
so of "Flopear", the dog; Fluff"
the cat, "Shoofly's" father "Big
Joe", "Grandpappy", NANNY,
Asbury, Savannah and the rest of
the family.
Large legible manuscripts are
printed on three-color letterheads.

an indeterminate term of years
in a state house of correction for
the murder of the 20-year-old Sol

Young Connors was stabbed
while breaking into the hall of
the building where Haley's faith
er was caretaker and occupied

his family.
Levinson volunteered his serv-
ices due to racial prejudice sur

to the State Supreme court, and
finally to the u. S. Supreme

While this action was pending,
Levinson became very i'll. He has
undergone one major operation
and has yet another one to und-
ergo. Levinson needed blood so

Democrats Not Bound
Primary, Cox Says

Robert w. Cox, nonpartisan
candidate for the Arlington
County Board in the November
election, declared the voters
in the recent Democratic primary
do not have any moral or any
other kind of obligation to sup
port the machine nominee for
County Board"
Mr.. Cox said the Democratic
vince voters that because they
entered the primary to express
their choice for Governor they
now must vote for the Democratic
candidate for the County Board.
"They had no choice" Mr.. Cox
asserted. MANY voters were I'M
der the impression that the vote
for one instruction on the ballot
meant that they must vote for
the only candidate on the ballot
or have their ballot thrown Out"
Although the incumbent, Basil
M. Del ashmutt, Democrat, was un-
opposed in the primary his name
was listed on the ballot.
Mr.. Cox said that Arlington civic
groups have requested repeatedly
that discriminatory party labels
be kept out of purely local cleo
tons. -.....
"This request has been ignored
by the political machine" the can
didate declared.
