Booker 7. Washington Birthday

his Country, and, of course,
in himself.
Without that faith, without
that inner strength, Booker
T. Washington never could
have contributed so fully to
our common welfare.
Booker T. Washington said
once, "To be big you must
first be honest with your
self and your neighbor, never
be jealous or envious of the
success of others. Bigness
means success, whether it be
in business, a trade, a pro-
fession, a factory or what
ever field you choose as a
life's vocation. There are
kinds of bigness you should
stay away from, however,
such a big gamblers, big
DRINKS, big crooks, and above
all, big FOOLS"
One of his most pungent
statements was: 81 know too
many men with enough paper
diplomas to boil a pot, but
not enough skill or initiative
to grow or get a cabbage to
put in the pot"
Another time he said: cit
takes a smart man to build,
but any fool can destroy"
DIR. Washington was always
ready to listen to the advice
OF others, and was happy to
receive opinions from all sour
ces. He summed his feelings
up on that subject when he
said: while 1 am, of course,
interested in what people say,
l am much more impressed
by what they do"
1t has been a great pleasure
to join you here today to pay
tribute to the memory of this
great American-Booker T.
Washington. 1t is to the glory
of America that she produces
such men and that in America
they find opportunity for the
expression of their great hui
manitarian beliefs.

Paroles Rushed
For Christmas

Doors of the Districts penal
institutions swung open this
month for a record number of
paroled prisoners who will spend
Christmas in freedom.
The December total is 80, more
than the number for any other
month this year and comparing
with "a last December.
Hugh F. Rivers. member of the
Parole Board and its executive,
said the board has no Christmas
amnesty policy. But he said the
board made sure that everyone
entitled to a hearing on his ap-
Iplication for parole had one. The
board met four times this month,
the latest meeting being Friday.
Mr.. Rivers said parole officers
did an especially vigorous job
paving the way to liberty for
those granted paroles. Before
a man is paroled it must be
Established that he has a home
to go to and a job awaiting him.
For some this was taken care
of by family and friends. But
there were others for whom the
parole officers had to find jobs
and places tc live. They made
extra efforts to get the eligible
parole prisoners taken care of
before Christmas. Mr.. Rivers
said.
He said most of the 80 had
been serving terms at the Re-
formatory at Lorton for felony
convictions. Others sentenced
for lesser crimes we're at the
OccoQuan Workhouse.
