A Car For Mrs. Steward
How The Project Started

A year or two ago, at a
meeting on the anniversary Of
THE GUARDIAN held in Peo-
les Baptist Church and in me-
mory of William Monroe Trot-
ter, founder Of the paper, after
seyeraf hundred dollars had
been quickly raised, Mrs. Lii
liam Williams, president of the
Pastors Club of Peoples, who
had much to do with the
raising of the money, remark
ed that she thought it was
time the present editor of THE
GUARDIAN was publicly hon
ored.
She has done a good job she
said in keeping the paper alive
so that the public would not
forget the greatest race cham
pion the race ever had. The
audience enthusiastically ag-
reed. She asked Mrs. Steward
to stand and declare her age.
The latter had no hesitation
in telling as people seldom be-
lieve that she is as old as she
confesSeS. 1t was revealed that
the age at that time was 70
with 10th birthday coming the
next October. Well, said Lii
Ian We'll have a birthday par
ty and raise at least $1,000.
She said it is as easy as this.
There will be 100 captains or
so, each pledged to raise SIS
by asking 4 friends each to
contribute $1.O0 and with the
captains $1OO there you have
$500 and 200 captains would be
good for $1,000. It's as easy as
that she said.
When the 10th birthday
neared Mrs. Steward said why
not wait for the Both birthday
and Lillian agreed.
Early this summer. Julian
D. Steele recent member of
the Mass. Parole Board, for
mer head worker of the Ro-
bert Gould Shaw House drop
ped into the Guardian office
and said to Mrs. Steward that
he and Rep. Herbert Jackson
had been saying that they
would like to do something big
for THE GUARDIAN and ask
ed Mrs. Steward what she
would suggest. The latter re-
piled that DR.. Steward
thought it was too late in the
day to buy a car but that
she would like to own a car
and really needed one. Mr..
Steele promptly said "a car
then it shall be-" He thought,
however, as he was to be away
at his summer home there
might not be time to get up
the fund by Oct. 5. Mrs. Ste
ward replied to this that she
wanted the friends who would
be asked TO contribute to have
their vacation and the moth
ers to get their children read
led for school and then start
the movement.
Well, to let a long story end,
the movement was launched at
the Moonlight sail last Mon
day which was in honor Of
