THE TIRED HEART


Sometimes the heart cries out to
be away
From sounds that bruise the flesh
and break the bone;
The chattering tongue, the cease
less thud of feet,
The auto horn insidiously blown.
Sometimes It's good to let the tired
heart
Have its desire, to see a distant
bird
Nor hear its call, to talk with trees
and grass
And for reply have not a single
word.
And then quite suddenly the same
heart feels
That it must hurry back to hear
again ,
The city noise, to hold the privilege
Of walking in the crowded streets
of men.
Anyway, we hope before too
long to be back at the editors desk,
now being held down so efficiently
by Lila Thomson.

Montgomery SideIiuhts
BY Elsie White Haines

Well warrant that all the his
torlans who beard Mrs. Frank Mish
talk about the restoration of the
old Hager House in Hagerstown,
before the Montgomery County
Historical Society last week, are
planning trek to the famous old
Washington County town once
known as Elizabeth Town, in honor
Of the wife of Capt. Jonathan Ha-
ger who laid out the town in 1862.
Mrs. Mish described the restora-
ton plans for the first house built
by Mr.. Hager somewhere between
1740 and 1745. 1t now stands in
the edge of the City Park. 1t was
built over two springs and has a
most interesting arched stone Gel
lar that was to be used in case of
attack by Indians. The plans are
still on paper but the house is
there.
The first Jonathan Hager and
his wife had son and daughter
and are said to have many des-
cendants, among them the Brents,
Keisers and Comptons in Mont
gomery, according to Mrs. Mish.
Not far away is old Fort Fred
erick, built for protection during
the French and Indian War, used
during the Revolutionary War to
confine British prisoners, and re-
stored during the Roosevelt ad-
ministration by CCC workers.
The fort stands on a spur of
North Mountain, a hundred feet,
above the Potomac and one-third
of mile away from it and the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. "Just
beyond the fort the pools and rap
ids stretch away to the Virginia
shore-to the west and the south
the mountains towering peak on
peak to fill panorama so irresis-
tibly attractive as to compel one
to forget that he is in search of
relic of the past So wrote an
early historian describing the won
derful picture of mountain, valley
and stream.
So get your road maps, friends,
and plan trip to Washington
County during lovely fall season.
Haven't you often heard the ex-
preston "some folks have all the
luck? This week we learned
about a county man who has won
two automobiles in five years. In
1916 Wilbur Watkins won a Hud-
son at an Izaak Walton League
carnival at Silver Spring. His son
had just come out of the Army so
a one-year-old Nash was turned
over to Junior.
At the Hyattstown Firemen's
Carnival in August this year the
same Wilbur Watkins won a Chew
rolet car. Since he had a month
old Hudson Hornet he sold the
Chevvie and bought truck. How's
that for luck? Added to all the
above, Mr.. Watkins has wife who
is clever at all phases of house
keeping, from papering wall to
hooking a rug. Which Wilbur
Watkins is it? We had the same
trouble-three WW's in telephone
dlrectory-Wilbur, ST., who has the
sheet metal place near Cider Bar
rel, above Gaithersburg is the one.

IA. II. Shelton
Proposes Mission

M. H. Shelton, the owner of
Acre City, and promoter of Wash
ington Boulevard, which serves to
connect all of East Phoenix is now
being developed into corporate.
prosperous communities.
Mr.. Shelton states that he too,
is of the same opinion as the
Federal government that, "Free-
dom is Everybody's Business" and
at this time he is negotiating with
land owners on East Broadway fer
the purpose of establishing Bar
lett City, which will become the
Capitol City for Christian Mis-
sion and for the underprivileged
nationalities of America. The mis-
sion is to be equipped with a broad
casting station and many other
necessary things.
Mr.. Shelton says in his opinion
this is a neglected community,
with about $500 intelligent people,
and such a mission will be a great
help to all of those who believe in
freedom.
The state of Arizona at this
time is blessed with a governor
who is really governor of all the
people. Mr.. Shelton said, this state
should become the pride of our
nation. This is the first time Ari-
zona has had a Christian admins
tration.

persons were driven from their

The riots created a national sem
sation and aroused widespread in
dignation because one of the lynch
:ngs occurred within a half block
of the home of Abraham Lincoln,
who is buried in Springfield.
Prior to that she had gained
prominence in 1905 for having
dined publicly with a number of
colored persons in a New York
restaurant.
After the Springfield riots she
took the initiative in 1909, with
the late Dr. Henry Moskowitz and
the late William English Walling,
to form an organization which
later became the NAACP. With
fifty other signers she issued a.
manifesto on the centennial of the
birth of Lincoln to fight for full
rights for colored people. Of this
group only John Dewey, DR.. w.
E. B. Dubois and the Rev. John
Haynes Holmes survive.
She served for a year as Secre-
tary of the NAACP, then as it's
vice president, chairman of the
board and member of it's board
until 1916. She was the author Of
six books, most of which dealt with
the fight for civil rights, including
ner autobiography, "The Walls

in 1947.

Prescott Gives
Honor To~Whon
Honor Is Due

There was a striking demon
stration of democracy displayed on
July 4th, in the mile high city
of Prescott. Those who witnessed
it said the people of that city de-
serve a big hand for the mammoth
children's parade on that day.
Taking part were several hum
dred kiddies ranging in age, from
around three to twelve. Prizes
were given by the merchants of
the" city for the best costumes,
girls and boys; most freckles; red
est hair, boys with cutest puppy;
twins; most from one family, and
many others.
The most patriotic presentation
was won by a little Negro boy.
Mr. Howard Boulter, who wit
messed the affair, commented:
This old world can not be all
wrong, when we have so many
fine kids" He further stated that,
the City of Prescott, county of
Yavapai ana the state OF Arizona
at large are to be congratulated,
and that there is hope for the
world in our children. MAY God

A cremation service was held on
the same day in Newton, Massa-

Kingsbury, in Auburndale, Mass,
Monday, July 16.
Miss Ovington retired in 1947
after a long and active life devoted
in fighting for firSt-class citizen
ship for colored people. A white
woman, she was born in Brooklyn
and lived fairly sheltered life
until she passed two years age at
Radcliffe College.
Her interest in sociological prob

ing Radcliffe she opened a settle

Her open espousal of the cause

Illinois, in August, 1908. The two

US. Supreme
Courts Decisions
Are Ignored

Richmond, Va. (NNPA)-lgnOr-
ing long line of decisions of the
United States Supreme Court that
exclusion of colored persons from
public recreational facilities is un-
constitutional, the Commonwealth
of Virginia last Tuesday asserted
that no constitutional rights are
infringed by excluding its colored
citizens from Seashore Park in
Princess Anne County.
This contention was advanced by
Sidney S. Kellen, State Director
of the Department of Conservation
and Development, in his answer to
a suit charging the state with ra-
ciaI discrimination in violation of
the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Federal Constitution. The suit was
filed in Federal District Court at
Norfolk June 27, asking the court
to enjoin the state from barring
colored persons from the park,
Kellam, along with Randolph
Odell, State Commissioner of
Parks; J. Lindsey, superintendent
of Seashore State Park, and Philip
Armstrong, a park attendant, were
named defendants in the COM
plant.
After admitting several allega-
tons of the complaint, the defen-
dants deny that because of their
refusal of entrance to Seashore
Park, the plaintiffs were denied
their constitutional right.

To Rest With Full
Military Honors

The body of Sgt. Calvin Echoles,
which arrived here last week from
Korea, was laid to rest in the
Veterans Section in Greenwood
Memorial cemetery with full mill
tary honors, last Monday.
Sgt. Echoles lost his life last
September while serving his coun-
try on the Korean front.
1t is interesting to note that the
burial of Sgt. Echoles in the Vet
erans' Section in Phoenix, broke a
precedent, inasmuch as he was
the first Negro Veteran to be ad-
mitted to the section set aside for
veterans only. It is understood
that this was accomplished only
after mucr pressure was brought
to bear fram various organizations
in the city, both Negro and white.

members of the order, adding that
there are now more lodges and
