What have the bureaus accomplished since their inception
‘well over a year ago?

(by/V

‘

Well, for one thing, they have put the mission soup lines
out of business, cured many cases of social disease which
would have run their course unchecked, made conditions
fairly easy for the boys and girls who wish to travel -
and provided hundreds and hundreds of jobs for people as
social workers.

The medical attention received by the clients is an out-~
standing achievement. Next comes the saving in money to the
taxpayers - many of the boys Would be in jail for years

ahead but for the bureaus. Starving men would riot and steal
— we would, anyhow. we have no starving men.

Nothing has been given away. Every man in the bureau earns
his keep after a fashion. Look over the work projects if
you doubt this. Of course, it's mostly elementary work like
digging ditches and breaking rocks. The bureau has been a
rroat lovelor.

..rre's no class distincti n to speak of among the clients.
ack of a dollar makes all men equal — brings them down to
elementals — right down to earth.

And only the dollar can lift them up again.

— "Barnacle Bill”
”That's telling 'em, said Bill, ”They think we must all be
ditch diggers."

”That's alright as far as it goes,” we agreed. ”But how can

we get ahead on this business of relief?”

"You'll have to go to college and learn to be a social worker,"
dill.

said "All the best people are doing it."

Revolution? From what?

That kind!

The sick souls

Herding like hogs in the dark to be rid of the
man‘s burden of living their forefathers won
for them!
Rid of Liberty: - rid of the hard choice! -
The freemnn's choosing of the freeman's journey!
Running as lost hogs run - from the fear of loneliness.
Hunting for one thing only - for the herd —
For the smell of the herd boar's rump againsi their
noses! —
The reek of the rest: a safe life without dignity:
Death in the comforfi of each other‘s dung:
Safe from themselves: safe from the risk and the
run of their own lives.

What can men like that destroy or injure?

What can they do? What's to fear from.them?

We have just heard that Lester 3. Da , Who sign painted after: fashion
around the bureau for almost a year and then left for Indiana, has :cmrurtd
a job as accountant and traveling auditor for some financial concern in that
state. That's real news these days. The salary — $250.00 per month.

The two Jockeys have secured a job at a local stock i‘arm and will be
breaking in yearling s for some time to come - unless they fall off and break
their necks: Several men have secured jobs lately, one as publicityr an w:1th
a carnival, another as a motordcmc rider. Also a number of men have left
with horses from the Lexington tracks to the Northerr Circuits. John S. has»
ilton, formerly with the Lighthouse, has written in from Chicago, and Peter
Deane, formerly with the Cross Roads, passed through more the other day.

Kiss Pellyi {esheimer, a charming and beautiful student from the University
of Keitucky who is studyiniz to be a dietitian. She scans the menus every
morning and takes note. while the boys looks soulfully on. Just for the
experience. She's democratic and ambitious and should go far in her chosen
profession.

We have a rattlesnalte skin tacked on the door of the ARK sanctum which
was donated by Lee Fowler, recently 01 Carxp Foe ter, Yukon, Florida. The skin
acts is a barometer. On dry days it‘s ti ht as a drum — on cloudy days it's
all limp and discouraged. On storm; days it rattles! Very interesting - quite.

The welan was parked on the side 0. the road and as the man drew n(:ar

At last they met for a dismal conference in one of the rooms reserved
for the holders of safe deposit boxes. Worton sat at one 31d 0” the polisP10d

"‘es, and tough on us too," Grant. "I om.not looking forward to

Morton started. "Surely you don't think prism ‘ .Thy after all-”

Grint ignored him and turned to Darby with a hard look in his eyes.

announced brutally. "To fix every‘t1*1ing so the blame falls on one man. He

Mr n '3 heart beat painfully in the silence that followed. ”It can't
be as Mbad as all. that. " He suggested, "Let's wait until tomorrow."

Gr ant gave no sign he had heard. He was looking at Darby. ”What do
you soy?” he ins isted.

Dorm spoke suddenly. "Alright, I'll take o chance if you will".

Here's a letter from Bruce Carlton, one of the pioneers of Cary Lake Robs,

the new camp near Richmond. Sent in to the ARK after the first day on the

job.

"Had you been here yostcrday you would have seen a 1955 version of
the forty nincrs going up and through Immigrant Gap. The truck was driven
across the Dam, through the spillway and right on up the hill, with the
non going ahead using double bladed axes and cross cut saws, cutting down
trees and clearing the way.

‘70 finell' reached the too unloaded the truck )ut us the tent for
., 1’ .9 L 1,
Bob Swmifiord the night watchman, tacked up the camp Sign, and Camp Roha
became a reality.

Talh about a beautiful spot! This is really one. The camp will he
situated on top of a knoll overlookinfi Lake Robe, about two and a half
rules from Richmond. The dam divides the lake, leaving part to the North
and the othnr South. we have been informed we can fish in thc South part
only, and on authority of Lt. Crutchor, he Camp Cormander, he says thcrc
arc plenty of black bass.

Might mention we all have had some real old fashioned southern cook-
ing meals at this boarding house we are staying until the comp is fixed
ul. Breakfast this morning consisted of country fried ham and eggs with
good gravy and home made jam. Almost forgot the biscuits. Did we eat?

The tents are to be lined up in streets, with the kitchen and dining

hall at the Vast one, and the office in the center. Recreation hall to
the West. Tents for the negroes to the South and the white men North.

Cut this morning hauling rock and loveling off the road getting it
into shape to use. The men are going to work six hours a day, five days
a wetk. Writing this in n hurry. Moro later. Maybe you can use the map
layout to give an idea of the canw.
