Q DITORIAL

The clouds are lifting: The uncertainty of the future is giving
way to a more stable outlook. On every hand we can see evidence of the
coming prosperity.

In Florida, men from the transient camps are being drafted into
the Civilian Conservation Corps by the hundreds.Qut on the Coast, they
are sending men up into Alaska to help out the colonists, and at regular
CCC pay. A news dispatch states definately that transients will be in-
cluded in the CCC and the WPA. Already the bureaus in Florida are being
called State Relief - a change of name that is significant.

Not that the transients as a class have waited for the turn of the
tide. We have watched men in this bureau save up their nickles and dimes
until they have got together a stake - and gone out and get jobs. Some
of them have got good jobs. We get letters day after day from these men.

They are the doves bringing back the olive branches, showing the
waters are receding. The depression is slowly but surely passing on.
When the Works Program gets fully under way we shall see an unprecedented
activity throughout the country in all lines of business. It is inevitable.

The bureaus have been islands in the flood - ARK's of refuge to which
many of us came in hunger and despair. We have worked to earn our keep, and
those of us unable to work have done their share willingly and well.

We have taken things as we found them - and in his heart every
man is grateful.

To those at the head of this nation
who have worked hard and unceasingly to C;”.ﬂ~—
bring order out of chaos we give our heartfelt
appreciation. A new day is dawning,~' 2
and America will emerge from the depression ’5\
stronger and greater than before.

In other words, it seems as thou
we are all going to work soon - and
will get paid for it!

”MEMORIALEM
53 we Malia/State Park

/ / "

The annual memorial services were held at Blue Licks
State Park, Sunda‘, August 18th. At this time, the
museum, shelter and lodge, and other improvements
effected by our transient camp were formally pre-
sented to the State of Kentucky.

In spite of the rainy weather, a crowd of approximately two thousand
persons gathered for the ceremony. A group of transients who had served on
the project were also present. The occasion furnished a wonderful oppor-
tunity to show a representative group what can be done and what was done with
transient labor, and throughout the services and the conversations of various
groups and speakers there was an enthusiastic appreciation for the work the
transients had accomplished.

Mrs.Emma Guy Cromwell, Director of State Parks, Judge Sam Wilson, who
accepted the improvements in the name of the Governor of Kentucky, Judge Ross
and Judge Cochran, who were also speakers, were fully appreciative of the fact
that the project could not have been accomplished on the money appropriated
had it not been for the labor that was furnished by our transient camp.

Mr.Holmes, State Transient Director, was one of the principal speakers
on the program. A draft of his address follows:

"One hundred and sixty years ago a band of hardy pioneers, miles and
miles from home and loved ones, struggling against overwhelming odds, gave
their lives to gain this ter‘itory that we who followed might live in peace
and security. These men we call pioneers, adventured into a strange, hostile
country to escape from.intolerahle conditions or lack of opportunity at home,
roughly dressed, uncouth of speech, unwashed and unshaven, but men, sharing
hardships and unafraid. We admire them for their resourcefulness and courage,
and today, without fear of danger, we meet to praise the heroic deeds of that
generation.

Here in a virgin wilderness, lush with luxuriant cover of blue grass,
gathered wild game seeking to taste the mineral waters we call Blue Licks.
Down from the mountains, almost encircling this knoll, flowed a beautiful
river teeming with fish, furnishing an avenue of transportation and plenty
of easily secured food. It seemed that here was the promised land of which
they dreamed. We can picture them as they stood gazing towards,
the west as the setting sun painted the evening sky in
georgeous tints. It seemed that heaven was pronouncin' ”W
a benediction upon them. They were a reverent group. %E;lcéé
of men and recognized and were grateful to their €5I§éﬁég§~;}
Creator. Their life was not easy, and they were /‘ ' .
driven to desperation as their crops were destroyed,
their homes burned, and their families terrorized by
the aggression of blood thirsty savages incited against
them by possessors of wealth and power. Today, we salute
them for the valiant fight they made.“

Now we stand here in safety, free from any lurking danger, and admire
the beautiful memorial that is erected where they died.'ﬁe appreciate the
beauty and comfort that makes this gathering a pleasant one. Let us then con-
sider the men of today whose skill and labor has produced this environment.

ion from many states, dissatisfied or discouraged with conditions at

home, started out to find better conditions elsewhere. Some of them have lost
their crops, their homes, and even their loved ones. But this res not at the
hands of painted savages against whom vengeance could be wreaked. 3e ho longer
have these to fear. However, an insidious economic change, favorable to poss-

csors of wealth Cid power, has just as effectively reduced large numbers of
our people to destitution, And there is no one upon whom blame can be attached
or from whom recompense can be exacted. Victims of circumstances, unwilling
to burden their relatives, unwilling to sacrifice self respect, they too became
pioneers in new surroundings. Hostile public opinion, narrow selfish local
officials persecute them until at times they are embittered against their
fellow men. Away from home, wanderers, they are without voice or vote to better
their condition.

A leader with vision offers a haven safe from the buffeting world, wherein
these men can find themselves and work to establish esteem of fellow men, and
regain the self respect that is theirs. We have here tangible evidence of this
work. Laboring through the snows of winter, the rains of spring, and the burn-
ing sun of summer, living in discomfort which is strange to most of us, they
have created an enduring monument not alone to those early pioneers but to
themselves, the present day pioneers we call "Transients."

It would take too long to recite the peculiar skill of differeut artisans
we have had; I merely recite that one man of outstanding ability is at this
time commissioned to paint murals upon the walls of yonder building, portray—
ing the lives of those early pioneers.

And these men are reverent. here in camp by flickering oil lights, these
men, removed from churches and their uplifting contacts, have met under lead-
ership of one of their own workers and studied the Bible and sung songs of
praise and worship. Standing outside the building as one of these devotional
meetings was in progress, feeling the very walls vibrate as the words of that
magnificent hymn "Onward Christian Soldiers" fairly burst into the night, a
feeling that maybe these men had better understanding of spiritual things than
city church members came to me. These are the men who builded this shrine.

“.4

Tith the passing years this spot may be obliterated, our words today are
bourne to oblivion by the passing breeze. Our names will not be mentioned on
the pages of history, but historians of the future will have much to say of
the results of the policy that made such work as you see around you here poss~
ible.

When the passage of years enables an evaluation to be made of the in—

fluence and changes wrought in the life of our nation some historian will
point out that'About 1931 all civilation seemed about to disintegrate,
governments were toppling, demagogues were seizing power, and even in the
United States, rumblings against oppression could not be stilled. A small
group had become possessed of enormous wealth and power, and controlled
policies of the government. Suffering of mankind increased and a revolution
seemed imminent. At this time a leader appeared. He revived a doctrine that
had not been preached in nineteen hundred years, and proclaimed that human
happiness and decent living for the masses was paramount to the immense
wealth of a few; that natural resources belonged to all the people and could
not be exploited for the benefit of a few. He was acclaimed on all sides

and at once put his policies into effect. After much opposition, the results
of his program proved the far seeing wisdom of his course. We of today can
hardly understand the attitude of indifference to greed and waste that existed
at that time. The name of that leader was Franklin Delano Roosevelt."

During Mr.Holmes's speech, the audience listened with rapt attention,
leaning forward to catch the phrases as they fell from the speaker's lips.
We consider this speech a most outstanding contribution to the cause of the
Transient, a clear exposition of the principles involved, genuine and sincere,
and delivered with an understanding heart. It is a masterpiece.

The BluechK’s 5’
*7 WON/i Prodect‘

The General Assembly at Frankfort, Kentucky, some years ago appropriated
funds to erect a monument commemorating the Battle of Blue Licks. At this
time there was also funds appropriated to build a small museum, however,

funds were never available for any other improvements. The 1955 /

General Assembly in Frankfort appropriated $22,500 to be used in (Eéj‘7‘)
developing the park. This fund was turned over to the State Park \ Aéza/
Board to administer. After a detailed study the State Park Board éérkl
decided that while this amount of money was sufficient to fur- ' “Z,

nish the necessary amount of money for the improvements, it
did not allow for the necessary labor.

An agreement was made between the State Park Board £225>1
and the Kentucky Transient Bureau to furnish the necessary "'f
labor for the project. In a recent address to the Kentucky fr/
Chapter Daughters of American Revolution, Mrs.Emna Guy //47
Cromwell, State Park Director, stated the improvements '//’
which will have been affected at the completion of the // /
project are valued by the State at $50,000. It can be /7’ /
seen, therefore, that the transient camp has added materially, /
to the value of the improvements.

The Transient Camp was opened August 9th, 1954. It
was closed August 20th, 1955, the final touches being
placed on the project on this date.

Washington was troubled by reports that several liiddlellestern States
had thrown thousan.ds of heads of families off relief rolls, with the object
of forcing workers into the harvest fields. In the meantime, the Department
of Agriculture reported that farm labor is plentiful, and that there has been
no difficulty anywhere in filling all jobs offered. What is this? - more

Speaking of dining rooms - rounnber when transient magazines used to

any bouquets being thrown for lo, these many weeks. The shoe is on the

country: Nick, our Chef, does the best he can with what he has, but now we
only get coffee once a day, butter now and then, and canned beef most all

- ’75on rm: WORKS Mice/MM.

Washington, Aug,16th (AP). The Federal Government today began
scrapping1 its inost un sual experiment in relief, overnight shelters
and rural cam_s for those who took to the open road in search of
jobs or adventure.

Those able to work will g;. jobs in the Civilian Conservation
Corps or some other work relief agency. The remaining twenty per
cent who are unable to work will be sent home, to be cared for by
the State or community like other "unemployebles".

In announcing the new policy yesterday, Harry L. Hopkins was
quick to deny that his transient program had been a failure. It had
not interfered with the supply of harvest labor, he contended, and
"it was the first time in America that anybody had undertook to do
anything about these people wandering about looking for jobs”

The Civilian Conservation Corps will absorb those between 18
and 28, or he ve war re cords, and the Works Progress Administration
is expected to provide for most of the others.

About 75,000 transients are now being cared for, compared
with the maximum of 200,000 some time ago.

If you think it’s fun to run around the country, living off the transient
bureaus, then get a load of this:

"After a long cold ride on a freight from.Newark, N.J., in a blinding
snow storm, I arrived at Harrisburg,Pa. It was in the middle of November.
I walked seven miles through deep slushy snow in quest of the transient
shelter. The registration office was located in the old Y.M.C.A. building.
In a few moments I was engaged in giving my life's history as a preliminary
to receiving service.

But I was to be badly disappointed. The registration clerk was called
into another office to answer the telephone. While he was absent, I reached
over and picked up the registration card and looked it over. At the very
bottom of the card was the notation "Left of own accord“. I will admit I
was surprised. I wasn't even inside yet!

After a time the clerk returned. His first words were "I'm sorry, son,
but we're crowded. All I can do for you is to give you a ticket for one meal."
I accepted the ticket, made out to Davenport’s,a restaurant on the main stem.
I soon found the restaurant and walked in, sitting down at a table near the
door. A waiter approached and said "Are you from the transient bureau?" My
answer was naturally, "yes". ’

He then told me that I would have to sit in the rear, as transients were
not served in the front of the restaurant. I immediately did so and asked for
a menu. I was told that transients did not place their orders, but that a
special meal was prepared for them. Here is their idea of a transient special:

A small amount of baked beans
Two overcooked frankfurters
Two cold hard biscuits

A cup of thin black coffee.

The waiter asked for the ticket. At the sight of the meal, and thinking
of the discrimination against transients, thinking of all the questions I
had been asked and answered at the bureau, thinking of the long walk through
the snow, tired in body and soul, really too hungry to eat, with nothing in
view but a night out in the cold, my feelings got the better of me. I tore
up the ticket and started out.

"If you've got a dog in back he may eat that. I don't
want it". I flung over my shoulder as I left.

Maybe I should have accepted humbly, swallowing the
meal with my pride. Maybe I should have taken a piece
of lead pipe and waylaid some good citizen and thus
secured several meals at one blow. ﬁaybe - but I did
no such thing.

I walked back to the freight yard and caught another
freight!

Contrary to the expectations of maiy casual observers, the
transients are fairly well educated. Of all the unattached tran-
sients studied in thirteen key cities. One third had graduated
from grammer school, and one sixth from high school, according
to their own statements.

Native whites show a marked superiority over other racial
groups in amount oi school completed. 18% of the native white
transients had been graduated from high school, a proportion
about twice as large as any other racial group.

The lower educational standards of the South are reflected
the findings from Jacksonville, Memphis, Dallas, and New Orleans,
where transients have completed the fewest years of formal education.

But the transients registered in Boston have relatively
little edUcational experience, largely due to the high propor-
tion of ioreign born and adult seamen among Boston transients.

In the West; Scott 0, Les A qclcs, and Dcrver, where the
transients are usually 3reung, their educational status is the
highest found in any of the cities studied.

The proportion of college graduates among unattached tran—
sients is one per cent. Graduates only of high school constitute
lSﬁ. Graduates only oi grade scliool cons stitute 26%.

If we assume there are 150, 000 unattached transients on the
rolls at the present time, anrl th2se figures are substantially
correct, then the proportion would be about as follows:

1,500 have graduated From college

19,300 have graduated from Eigh school
29,000 have graduated from grammar school
100,000 have on y an elementary education.

Because of a two dollar mutual ticket, Spearman Lewis was elected
hayor of Surfside, Florida. A couple of seasons back he held the only
winning ticket on the Daily Double at Tropical Park which returned him
$2,642.40. He looked around for some vacant property, found what he
wanted in Surfside and ‘zivested his :avings. Since then he has built two
houses and started a third. Last month he was elected Mayor by the people
of Surfside.
