Illinois Town
Solves Probem
O t the Migrant
— -A Wi»«kly Newsletter
HOOPESTON. III.—A social revo
lution has token place in the small
town of Hoopeston in the nast few
years that Is as Important as any In
the history of this country. And
many experts have called It a revo
lution that Is needed In thousands of
communities In the nation.
The town, with a population of
approximately 7,500, i- located in a
rich food production area. At har
vest time it becomes the home of
between 400 and 500 of America's
2.500,000 migrant farm workers.
Tills was the source of a social ail
ment that it took a revolution to
cure.
In Hoopeston these migrant farm
workers, like in thousands of small
towns from Maine to California,
were Jammed Into outlying areas
where sanitation and cleanliness
were impossible; children were un
dernourished and not allowed In the
public schools; they were segre
gated In the halcody of the local
movie und not allowed in the park
or swimming pool. They were con
sidered a necessary evil, necessary
it Hoopeston was to survive because
the town made Its living from the
canning companies,
their
huge
farms and affiliated industries.
Liberty Gardens
Vital to Defense
Good Kitchen Garden
Can Cut Food Costs
The Department of Agriculture
has approved ■ plan of the National
Garden and Food Preservation Com
mittee for a national Liberty G ar
den campaign In 1952.
The general plan is to encourage
the cultivation ot home gardens as
insurance against shortages, to re
lieve transportation facilities, en
list labor In food production, and
maintain health and moral values.
On the local level the all-out pro
gram provides for usi g all avail
able means to arouse the whole pop
ulation to the need for gardens, to
teach novices how to make gar
dens, make suitable land available
in city, town and suburban areas.
Counc il Is Form ed
Then, three years ago representa
tives of the community’s social and
professional groups met and de
cided that something had to be
done, namely, to give the migrants
the best it had. From this group was
formed the Hoopeston Migrant Coun
cil.
The first thing the group did was
to persuade the migrants to clean
up when they came into town so
people wouldn't be p r e j u d i c e d
against them. Then came lessons in
nutrition and hygiene and English.
The keynote of the campaign was
—move slowly and don't put pres
sure on anybody.
The camps that housed the mi
grants were improved. Sanitation
was Improved, showers made avail-
able, and adequate laundry facili
ties provided.
As for the town, an educational
program was started to teach the
natives something about tne m i
grants and to wipe out the preju
dices. The businessmen started it
off by trying to understand their
customers who began arriving in
the community In late April of each
year.
It has been a long, hard pull. To-
day there Is no segregation In the
local theatre and nobody can name
the exact date when it ended. It
hasn't completely died out at the
swimming pool and in the park, but
it is passing.

NPA ALLOTMENTS EXPLAINED
• Retailers may obtain idea of probable pro

of allotments of scarce materials during next six
months. Approximately 80 categories were divided
into two groups. Group 1 includes essential items
for maintaining standard of living and includes
refrigerators, stoves, washers, office supplies,
fountain pens, fasteners and pins. Group two
contains items regarded as less essential such as
smoking accessories, costume Jewelry, dolls, pen
cils and pianos.
In second group producers will
receive about 10 per cent of their pre-Korean use
of copper and 20 per cent of aluminum.
The first
group will receive up to 35 per cent of their base
period use of these metals and steel allotments
will average about 50 per cent of base for most
producers. So allotments do not ban production of
certain civilian items outright, as was case during
war, but permits production even if at low level.
Passenger cars and small group of goods produced
chiefly for industrial, health, safety and public
welfare uses were not Included in either group.

A. He must have served for at
least 90 days, part of which was
within an actual w ar period or aft

been discharged under other than
dishonorable conditions. The 90-day

Army Revises Officers' Physical Tests
The Arm y recently announced a
revision of the traditionally rigid
physical requirements for officers
that will increase the opportunities
for otherwise qualified personnel to
obtain a commission or warrant. The
physical "profile” system, previous
ly used only for enlisted grades,
will now be used to measure ac
ceptable physical standards for of
ficers. It will also help in assigning
officers In accordance with their
physical capabilities.
Under VA regulations, former G l
bill veteran-trainees who returned
to active m ilitary duty must resume
their training within a reasonable
period after their release from ac
tive duty. That "reasonable period” ,
VA said, will be based on the cir
cumstances of each veteran’s case,
and will depend on the kind of train
ing he Is taking. Veterans are ad
vised to make their training plans
early and avoid the disappointment
of missing out althogether.

An old Negro was watching his
boys trying to break a mule. As
fast as the youngsters climbed
aboard, the critter tossed them
off. Finally he could stand it no
longer. “ Bring dat mule here,
Rastus! You-all don’t know nuthin’
’bout ridin’ a mule! LemME show
you!”
The old man hopped astraddle
with confidence. As Lizy began to
buck, he talked to her: “ Lizy, you
ain’t fooling’ with the boys now—
you’s got de ole man on yo’ back,
so you might as well quiet down.”
Just then Lizy m anaged to toss
the old m an about six feet out onto
the ground. He picked himself up,
turned to the boys and said: “ Now,
boys, d at’s de way to do—when
