TCHS Tales - !
By FRANCES SARVIS

oSome of the girls around high
school are wondering why Mar
garet has taken such a sudden in
terest in Bill Hickman and George
Lay. They have sneaklng sus-
picion that it centers around the
fact that the junior-senior BAN
ouet is close at hand. Margaret,
if you can throw any light on the
subject, please do.
Irene was certainly lucky to
get the lovely present that she
did last week from that boy IN
Washington. It's awfully hard to
believe that she is going to send
it back. Nellie has been drawing
a lot of attention too. If you'll
look on their third, left-hand fin
ger, you'll know what / mean.
Lynwood had a few days home
from the service last week and
he went to all the ball games.
Doris Ann just had to 60 see our
boys win their goth and 2lst
games, and who else would she
60 with but Lynwood? Well?
1t was really raining Saturday
night, and Nancy said that she
got soaked just running from the
car to the doorsteps. The fact that
she had Bruce's jacket thrown
over her head didn't keep her dry.
That will be a good excuse for
Bruce to come back to see you,
Nancy, to Get his jacket. Even
though 1t was raining that didn't
throw a damper on Bobby's date
with Lucille. He doesn't get home
very often though.
Grace says Earl is her right
handman. 1t certainly looks that
way, Grace. 1t must be wonder
full.

Auto Club Head
 Finds Caution
 On The Upgrade

Continuing improvement in the U. s. traffic accident record is ex- cellent testimony for the effective ness. of current campaigns aimed at pedestrian and motoring safety, according to w. G. Robinson, Gen. eral Manager of the Automobile Club of Hartford.
 Crediting safety activities with the improvement, MT. Robinson pointed out that despite an in- crease in miles travelled in 1948, motor car accidents dropped two per cent throughout the nation. He added that the automobile death rate per one hundred million miles was the lowest on record, being 8.1 per. cent.
 Tn using these figures, MT. Rob inson pointed out that motor vehi- cle mileage was up seven per cent last year over 1947; and 19 per cent above the year 1941. These statistics become the more impress sive when it is noted that the 32,- 900 motor vehicle death toll for 1948 was almost 5000 less than the all-time high of nearly 10000 for 1941.
 Tn citing reasons for this inn provement, the motor club execu- tive pointed out as particularly eff fective the increasing emphasis on safety education in the elementary and high schools; and the work of the school safety patrols; the growing awareness that driver edu- cation and training for young peo- pie is one of the answers to the traffic accident problem.

 I agree with MT. Goodman, who has proved himself to be one of our races most sincere leaders, that the reefer tive is strictly cor ny. But I want him to know that we who are really hipped to what goes down are agin' it. It's the squares and the would-be hipsters who play that mess. Not for us.

the voters list.
 This type of indifference is
 not only decided reflection
 upon the intelligence of the in-
 dividuaI but is likewise a real
 danger in the development of
 the democratic ideal. For if the
 people are not interested in be-
 coming voters then a limited
 number of individuals can ul-
 timately take over the govern
 ment and use it for any pur- pose they see fit.
 These truths ought to be ex- tremely important to all minority groups in our population and es- pecially the Negro. For as far as Connecticut is concerned, with the exception of New Haven we do not know that a Negro has ever been elected to the city government. But aside from the matter of being elected is also the matter of being able to raise ones voice in the councils of the planners in propor- tion as they know you represent a considerable block of votes!
 To summarize the whole
 matter, any Negro in New
 England who has not yet
 REGISTERED to vote in any
 and all elections is doing a de-. cided disservice not only to
 himself but the group as
 whole. Are you one of those individuals?

While Negroes in too many
 northern communities continue
 to speculate and talk about
 elective representation in city
 governments, their brethern in
 an increasing number of south
 ern communities are pressing
 ahead with actual victories.
 A few months ago the nation was brought abruptly to attention with the announcement that a Ne gro had been elected to the City Council in Richmond, Virginia and now word comes more recently about similar victory in North Carolina.
 These events are indicative
 of growing awareness among
 Negroes in some sections that
 merely talking about the
 franchise is not enough in it.
 self; that it must be accom-
 panied by action.
 Much could well be said about this whole matter here in New England where there are no ob- stacles placed in the way of any one carrying out his or her citi- zenship responsibility. Too many people in this section, while they discuss the political situation end lessly, have never even made them selves eligible to use the ballot. In other words they have never gone to the City Hall or Municipal Building to place their names on

According to reports of recent survey, 3,395 bonus claims have been denied in Connecticut. That figure represents only a fraction of the 56.889 veterans whose ap- plications have failed to meet the qualifications of the seven states that have already made payment.
 For Connecticut the pub
 ished figure is incomplete
 since applications are still be-
 ing accepted and processed.
 The conditions of the original
 law set the closing date for
 filing a bonus claim at up to
 and including July l, 1949.
 The date has since been fur
 ther extended an additional two
 years. At present the antici-
 pated closing date will be July
 1, 1851.
 The largest number of rejected applications came about because veterans had not met the residence requirements of the state office concerned. Tn most states it is re- quired that a veteran must have lived in the state for six months before induction and have returned to his home state after discharge. The Connecticut law uses the term 'domicile' rather than residence with the understanding that man may have several residences but only one domicile.
 Other payments have been
 withheld because the applicant
 had less than 90 days service,
 had been separated with a dis
 honorable discharge, or not
 been on active duty.
 The state of New York has al- ready disapproved 27,00O applica- tions. Ninety per cent of the re- jections, however, were made on the grounds that the serviceman did not return to the home state after discharge. A constitutional amendment to take care of this group is being offered the voters in November. If it is approved, payments to these veterans who have left the state will begin Janu arv l.
 Apparently a number of vet
 erans have neglected to ac-
 quaint themselves with the
 conditions and requirements of
 the bonus law of the particular
 state in which they have eligi-
 bility. This is true in spite of
 the wide publicity given by
 newspapers and radio and the
 willing advice and assistance offered by veteran and well
 fare organizations and state
 agencies.

Not A Hero, Just A Man

SIR: I think your headline this week is disgraceful. Imagine, glam- orizing a common drunk just be- cause he was beaten by an officer of the law who was simply out to do his duty.
 If you would pay more attention to cleaning up the dives frequent ed by this type of worthless citizen who sets an example for our youth by staggering around the street, you'd be doing a greater service to your community and race.
 I, for one, applaud the police of ficer who had the courage to try to beat some sense into a drunk. Who evidently is a hero to you.

 PEOPLE IN GLASS HOUSES
 The Negro is constantly complaining, protest ing and demanding.
 Not that he shouldnt be.
 Anyone who isn't a candidate for the Liars Club will admit that the gentleman of color catches it; that he is made sucker economically, pushed around politically and snubbed socially.
 But people i'm glass houses shouldnt throw
 People who want to be treated like people ought to act like people.
 The other nil ght were in bar.
 There is nothing wrong with bar. Bars are fre- quented by some of the best people.
 A bar is a convenient place to escape the cares and worries of the day - to exchange the common pleasanries and tell that favorite tall story with out being challenged Some of the finest heavyweight bouts baseball games and contests in political diplo- macy have been dramatzed and re-enacted with the aid of the atmosphere of clear foamtpped beer and little glasses bubbling with Schenley Carstairs
 But when a bar becomes arena for some be- sotted show-of who hasn't the courage to face to his Mssus, but wants to take i'm sight for good reason at aI then the atmosphere or cam radie and pleasure which usually pervades these tablishments can become overhung with illness and terror.
 We had the misfortune to witness incident of this nature. Some drunken dope who had welched enough grog to get himself into state of belliger- ence decided to e1pound his views the question of relations.
 He berated the proprietor in loud voice as be- ing "one of those white people who make their liv- ing out of Negroes
 When reminded by customers of his own race that there plenty of Negroes who make their money out of white people, and that this is posed to be the kind of a country where you make your money where you and how you can, long you don't take advantages, he turned on the Ne groes in the place who were embarrassed by his lan- guage and lack of logic and called them "Uncle Toms."
 Someone finally persuaded him to go home af- ter he had succeeded in making a complete donkey out of himself and when he gone, every one laughed 1t off, but there bit of discomfort be- tween the white and Negro friends who had been fraternzing together, without any thoughts of color other than how beautiful the amber glow of cecold beer can be m glass.

We Think So, Too

SIR: Congratulations on your courage in exposing the unwarrant- ed brutality of that police officer who is unworthy of the name. He may be the biggest man on the Hartford police force, as your re- porter revealed. But he is only big in physical stature and not in the understanding and moral stamina which make a guardian of the law a public servant rather than a cop. Thank God, the majority of the police officers in Hartford are, to my certain knowledge, gentlemen.
