been almost continuously abroad

many colored friends of earlier

Fannie Lonon. The news of the
passing of this great soul
brought back to me many

colored race and the pleasant
associations perhaps broken
temporarily physically by long
absence from Boston, but never
broken spiritually

Bill Protects
Stote Employees

A general Improvement in
State law affecting Massachu-

proved by Gov. Paul A. Dever
this week. This measure brings
the State Youth Service Board
under the same regulations pro-
tecting state employees against
arbitrary removal. State law al
ready covers persons employed
in any institution under the de-
partments of mental health,
public health, public welfare, edu-
cation, correction, or in the
Soldiers Home in Massachusetts,.
This action by Governor DeveI
extends that protection to per-
sons employed in the Industrial
School for Boys, the Industrial
School for Girls, and to the
Lyman School for Boys.
Present at the signing of this
bill were the following officers OF
the Massachusetts State Employ
ees Association John E. Coyne
Of Dorchester, president; Balfour
S. TyndalI of Bridgewater, vice
president; and Esther A. Allen of
Maiden, secretary. Also present
were Senator Philip G. Bowker,

Social Security became more than

government to provide monthly
benefits for families when wages
OF the breadwinner have been cut
off by old age or death.
Right now, 100000 men, wom-
