Continued from yesterday

A score Of years ago the
Nazi horde descended upon
peace-loving Denmark intent
with pressing the tiny nation
within their evil orbit. The
ruthlessness of the enemy pro-
duced Denmark's S h n 6
hour. For the fifth column had
reckoned too lightly with Da-
nish courage and determina-
ton to remain and continue
free. We share our love and
sympathy with your Country,
Ambassador Kaufman, in
that trying time; as our Nation
shared its fighting strength to
free Denmark and all invaded
lands from the malevolent
tramp of the despot's boot.
Worship services were held
throughout the Islands in gen
eral prayer for speedy liberia
ton. When deliverance happily
came in 1915, with the German
Fcollapse, we knelt in humble
thanksgiving before the Lord
Iof Armies.
The industry and initiative
of the Danes are traditional,
but these superb qualities as
sumed new and impressive
proportions, following liberia
ton, when their country set
about repairing its battered
economy with the welcome
aid of Marshall Plan funds,
and other tokens of encourage
ment, sent by the American
people who have never forgot
ten their friends. Denmark
Immediately took her place as
a member of t h e United
Nations.
The American people have
been particularly impressed
by the determination with.
which Denmark has joined,
and the willingness in which
she participates, in the com
mon defense of Europe. The
Government Of Denmark, as
an important member of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
zation, is working closely with
her associate-governments in
our struggle to bring about
permanent peace in the world.

community relationship in col
lective action, especially ii the

VIRGIE. KY. - (ANP) Eight
years ago Negro dentist attempt
ed to buy the small 53-home, all
white mining town of Virgie, KY.
but he was outbid by a Kentucky
state senator. But this did not kill
his aspiration to establish a pre-
cedent of democracy in the
South"
Today, DR.. Alex v. Boston and
his wife are the sole owners of
Virgie's modern 60-bed hospital,
where all people are treated as
equals. The Boston'S are the only
Negro residents of the town
proper.
DR.. Boston got his first glimpse
of this mountain community dur
ing the final days of World War
I, when he was a soldier in the
army. He liked the mountain air
and was moved by the absence
of dental and medical facilities.
The handsome youth from Owl
edo, Fla, journeyed home with
his discharge papers and two
purposes in mind - become
dentist and return to Virgie. After
graduating from Florida A and M
college, Walden university and
Meharry Dental college of Nash
vile, he did just that. In the year
1924, DR.. Boston and his young
wife, registered nurse, were
housekeeping on Caney Creek.
This whistlestop on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad was
characterized by a glaring short
age of everything that might add
to human existence, except the
clean mountain air. Although
trained for dentistry, DR.. Boston
often served as doctor and gen.
eral medical adviser to the whites
of Pike county. The nearest hos
pital was too far for the miners
of Virgie. His nurse wife also
became one of the most impor-
tant women in the county.
He and Mrs. Boston became
known as the walking doctors.
Their pay took the form of barter
- chickens, eggs, livestock and
vegetables.
Today, the Bostons own Virgie's
new interracial Community Me-
mortal hospital, an office build
ing, property in Nashville and
citrus and evegetable farm in
Fla. Their daughter has college
degree and their son is earning a
degree in civil engineering. DR..
Boston gradually is turning over
his dental practice to son-in-law.

- Wilholm Adolf Fierre, a form

week at the age of 73. He was
one of Denmark's few Negroes.
Born at st. Thomas, Fierre left

States in 1917. He built up mil
lion-dollar business in Berlin and
was the owner of two big hotels

him.
Still a Danish citizen, Fierre
