Mister Burgess pointed out it
takes $3.50 per month to make
$1,000 per annum.
Now Mister Truman, you'd
be surprised how much wrang-
lin an jawin' can go on amongst
a few economizin' people. BY the
time we got the squeeze really
full on, any of us would answer
to the nicknames of Scrooge,
miser an skinflint as we'll as
tightwad.
JAKE an me got so full of zeal
for economy we began to point
out a few things wrong at home.
Both our missuses lit on US like
wildcats. l tell you, it caused
such a hornets nest, both of US
had to take our wives out an
butter 'em up to the tune of a
new hat. But even Mister Bur-
CESS admitted such prudent ex-
penses was okay.
OF course, there's only four
of us here at the Wagon. Guess
you wouldn't exactly call us a
Task Force, but anyhow, we sure
got lot of experience on econo-
mizin'.

''Dear Mr.. Truman

MIR. HARRY S. TRUMAN, PRES.
Blair House, Kitty-cornered

Washington, DC.
DEAR Mr.. TRUMAN,
Jake Bulls, my partner,
thought we ought to write you
- an maybe even Mister Ex-
President Hoover, too. Kind of
thought it might cheer you up
a bit.
Just about the time you an
Congress an Mister Hoover an
his Task Forces started thinkin'
that the Government had to
tighten up an save that little
matter of 3 billion dollars a year,
Jake an me had a talk with
Mister Burgess.
Mister Burgess runs the
bank. He agreed to look over
our hash-wagon business.
An while he wasn't nasty about
it, he said some things about the
way we wasted money here in
the Wagon that might have hurt
our feelin's if it hadn't been our
money.
Mister BURGESS told US we
ought to cut as much as $1,000
a year. Jake an pitched in,
full of penny-pinchin' ideas. The
first month we were able to cut
the laundry bill $l9.40. We
saved $3.05 on paper napkins,
by not usin' 'em to mop up the
counters with. But Mister Bur-
CESS was highly dissatisfied with
US.
Well, we tried harder. We cut

 One thing we do know - there are some fighting, democratic kids in the city of Middletown, black and white, who know they're not alone in their quest for perfection of the democratic way of life which is a better answer to Communism than a thousand un-American com mittee Investigators.

Tn letter to BULLETIN Pub. fisher George W. Goodman, Thomas F. Henry, supervisor of the Fair Employment Division of the Con- necticut Inter-racial Commission, wrote:
 t'This will acknowledge your let ter of April 19 relative to the com plaints of Bobby Cox, Charles At kinson, and Raymond Paige as we'll as Jimmy Gibbs, whose address is unknown to you.
 Immediately upon receipt of your letter we contacted the Ad- jutant- Generals office and related to them the treatment of the above applicants for admission to Cam pany "1" - 1O2nd Infantry, 43rd Division of the Connecticut Nation al Guard as contained in your let ter of April 19.
 Promises Probe Now
 ''The Adiutant- Generals office has assured us that an immediate and complete investigation of this matter will be made and as soon as we receive word from them we will advise you of the results of our investigation"
 The three New Haven men, two of whom were admitted to the Guard unit Cox was admitted pending returns of physical exam ination, reported to the BULLETIN that they had submitted to vote by the members of the company un- der protest after Captain Wickett of the company, had told them that he wanted to find out the reaction of his men to accepting Negroes.
 Publisher Goodman, in letter to Inter-racial Commission Execu- tive Secretary Frank T. Simpson, asked "thorough investigation into the power and the proper ap- plication of that power of local units to reject candidates for ad mission to the National Guard" MT. Goodman pointed out that the General Assembly recently voted the Guard open to all citizens with out racial discrimination.

DIR. ROBERT E. PARSONS manded that the class reject the Washington trip and prove that they had learned what democracy meant.
 Class OK'd Trip
 The class voted 6O-13 to take the Washington trip.
 So the train pulled off that Mon day morning - and somewhere in Middletown, probably a little lone ly and lost and maybe wondering these four Negro seniors. And their white friends who, yet in their teens, have come to know that democracy for minorities means freedom for America and an ex- ample for the world of nations.
 But last week maybe those Ne gro kids who had the guts to fight for what they believed, know that their courage had brought them honor and friendship.
 For last week the mailman rang their bells and brought them a let ter from the Governor of Connecti- cut himself.
 He was sorry, Governor Bowles wrote, that they had been unable to go to Washington with their classmates.
 He knew that segregation exist ed in Washington and he and a whole lot of other people in public life were against it.
 He and whole lot of other peo- pie in public life were fighting dis crimination on all fronts - even trying to make democratic Con- necticut more the kind of state it should be for all it's people.
 The Governor wanted to prove how he felt about the situation and to prove it - he was inviting the four Negro Middletown High sen- iors to invite some of their white friends to visit him in his cham bers at their own state capitol in Hartford. on the date of Wednes-

New England bulletin., 1949-04-30

These four kids could have gone along had they wanted and even if they had been segregated against in the nations capitol, they could have swallowed their pride and had a bang-up time.
 But they didn't go as matter of principle.
 They didn't go because, while they had friends and relatives in Washington who would have glad ly eased the hurt of racial unfair ness, they are far-sighted and ll1l- selfish. Far-sighted enough to know that there are other young people throughout the nation who face the same problem = young folks who, perhaps, wouldn't be able to enjoy good time in spite of seg- regation. Unselfish enough - young as they are - to realize that they are going to grow up and have children some day and that they will want things to be just a little bit better for their children than they are for them. .,.
 They didn't go because they fought a losing battle with their classmates when they and nine white seniors got together and de-

Dr. Ralph J. Bunche, United Nations mediator for Palestine, may become the first of his race to become United States As sistant Secretary of State.
 He reportedly was being con- sidered for the high government post this week.

 By the time you read this story, those kids will have taken advan- tage of Governor Chester Bowles' invitation.
 But that's not all.
 Careful Planning
 They will have been the center of a day of activity which would make any youngsters head swim.
 In cooperation with outstanding Hartford citizens of every race and creed The New England BULLE- TIN for the past two weeks, has been carefully mapping the project. |.

| Mothers Day service in May, 1907.
Held in st. Andrews Church, it
was dedicated to Mrs. Jarvis and
all the mothers of Taylor County.
The next year, Anna Jarvis per-
suaded Philadelphia to proclaim
the first city-wide Mothers Day.
At her urging, West Virginia made
Mothers Day a statewide holiday
in 1912, and Pennsylvania followed
suit the next year.
With single minded tenacity,
Anna Jarvis made innumerable
speeches before mems and women's
clubs and meetings of all kinds.
She carried on extensive corre-
spondencc with governors, states
men, clergymen, and editors.
Public response was enthusiastic.
Congratulatory letters piled so
high that she purchased an adjoin-
ing house for storage purposes.
In 1914, Anna Jarvis persuasive
pen won over President Wilson
himself. He signed a joint Con-
gressional Resolution lauding the
American mother as "the greatest
source of the country's strength
and inspiration" 1t established
Mothers Day permanently and au-
thorized federal display of the
flag Gas a public expression of our
love and reverence for the moth
ers of our country"
In the succeeding years, Miss
Jarvis spent every penny of the
moderate fortune left by her moth
er in establishing Mothers Day as
deep-rooted American tradition.
During these years, too, she cared
for her younger sister, Elsie, blind
since birth.
The carnation was suggested as
official Mothers Day flower by
Anna Jarvis because it had been
her mothers favorite. Gradually
the custom developed of wearing
red carnations to honor living
mothers, and white boutonnieres
for deceased mothers.
In 1913, a small group of her
friends and admirers was shocked
to discover that Anna Jarvis was
penniless, i'll, and nearly blind.
They Immediately placed her in
Marshall Square Sanatorium in
West Chester, Pa, where she was
comfortably cared for during her
declining years.
Devoted sons and daughters will
be honoring more than their own
mothers when they shower them
with gifts and affectionate Moth
er's Day greeting cards on Sun
day, May 8. They will be paying
tribute TO the idealism and perse-
verance of Anna Jarvis, who gave
the nations respect for mothers its
first tangible Mothers
Day.
