And, marker.
OK, so, tell me about the types of people that lived in your Los Angeles community in 1934.
The community was just beginning to change, in 1934 the community in South Central. The demographics were largely, about fifteen or twenty percent black, and the rest of it was white. Very, very few Hispanics, and virtually no Asians. It was a rather settled community, in that the population was stable. The exodus to the city was not really at its zenith at that time.
The people coming in would be southerners.
If we could stop for just a second?
OK, I need you to just—
That was take two.
—give me the question, the answer again, and I need to know what the community was changing from, when you tell, also tell me what it's changing to. OK?
In 1934, thereabouts, the South Central community was pretty well isolated. It was beginning to change. The change was primarily from a white neighborhood to a black and then with a sprinkling of white as they remained, but most of the whites were moving out to the suburbia. The blacks who were coming in were primarily Southerners, and rather of the lower income group. Higher income groups were moving to the west side of Los Angeles. It was quite a community in transition.
OK, what, do you know what attracted those Southern blacks to California?
The promise of a better life. I think sometimes, those who were attracted to Los Angeles felt that it was a land of milk and honey, and obviously, they were also running away from things in the Deep South, that is, lynchings, and bad economic conditions, segregation, inferior schools, and things of that nature. They thought that the West promised them a new life, altogether.
OK, you mentioned that your particular community only had a few Asians, but what about Chinese, Japanese, Mexicans, did you see them in other parts of the city?
The South Central area was not a 'multicultural' type of population. It was primarily those who had, older white residents who had stayed there for a long time, and were only dislodged by new Southern blacks. As to the Chinese, the Asian population, the Asian population was concentrated elsewhere, primarily in downtown Los Angeles, so there was very little mixture between the Asians, and the native whites, and the new blacks who were moving into the area in great numbers.
OK. I'm gonna ask you about the movies now. What did you enjoy about going to the movies back in '34?
Oh, back in '34, as far as a Hollywood connection, I recall that at that time, I was just graduating from college, and I had been hired as a delivery boy, in a way, to deliver material to the studios. The studios were quite popular, of course, and my job was to deliver, to the studios, copies of acting bits so that the directors could choose a particular character for a particular scene. It was a very exciting thing for me, beside being a job, of course, that I had an opportunity to go in and out of the studios. The studios were quite discriminatory in a way, very few blacks were in roles at that time. There were one or two blacks, including one outstanding one, Clarence Muse, who was a semi-director, and an actor who acted some parts, but primarily, the best parts were, in my opinion, not of the ideal type. The step-and-fetch-it type of acting, where some humor was provided, or they needed someone to act as a servant to one of the stars of that time.
So—so how did you, it felt very, how did you feel about that, that they got these roles?
I was not too excited about the role of minorities in Hollywood at the time, and I thought primarily, the image that was conveyed of minorities in the movies, reflected really a slavery type, as the plantation type, and that that did not give us, in my opinion, any uplift in the community or nationwide, that blacks were beginning to get into the mainstream of American life, it was just the opposite.
OK, so when you saw a film, and there was a primarily white cast, and, what did you think of the, what did you think of the people portrayed in those films? How did you identify with those people in the primarily all-white films?
Well, it's pretty obvious, as I was describing Hollywood at that time, it did not to me come across as portraying the type of roles that should be portrayed. It was the old attempt of the minstrel days. If a character happened to be of a prominent type, it was a white person blackened to make, to be made into a black in order to portray the role, so that we did not have, at that time, the entrance of the Lena Horne type of a white complexion, black person. The carryover of prejudice and discrimination—one must remember, that California at that time was not a very progressive state, there was a great discrimination primarily against the Chinese, against the Filipino, and later against the Japanese.
Across the main streets of Los Angeles, one could, as one walked down them, see signs in the windows, 'No Colored Persons Allowed', or, 'We Do Not Cater to Blacks',
** and that was quite, quite prominent, so that bigotry was very heavily displayed in Hollywood, it reflected the times.
When you actually went to the movies yourself, what was your favorite part of going to the movies?
When I had an opportunity to go, and a lot of times, we didn't—let me indicate that as far as the theaters were concerned, there was no discrimination in the theaters. That is, blacks were not confined to the so-called "peanut gallery." But the movies, obviously, were just beginning to change, it was very exciting, because we could see the first sound pictures. The new technology was just beginning to come through. Al Jolson type [sic] in the movies was quite an exciting experience, and Al Jolson, of course, was again portrayed [sic] the type of a white person blackened up in order to provide entertainment, and that was quite extensive. The movies were not, from an artistic point of view, the very best, but they were the source of enjoyment, and a new technology. Along with the radio, which was coming into prominence about that time, it was an exciting, new experience for all of us. I made a little radio sets on the side, in order to pick up a little extra money, and we had a little crystal set, a little rock, what we call a crystal set, and earphones, so we're talking about a very, very crude, technologically, age.
OK. You told me that your mother had played a large role in your becoming a Democrat, and I was wondering if Franklin Roosevelt also had any influence on you? Or were you a Democrat before?
We're talking about what-
—were the major influences on me at that particular time—
We're going to stop, we have to change the camera roll. Oh, excuse me.
OK, when you went to movies, and you saw films, and these were films that had white people, maybe inside a house with a white picket fence, everything's going swell, this is the picture that they're putting out in Hollywood, did you identify with those people, in those films?
The question of whether or not one identifies with a film that seems foreign to that individual's culture, is a rather exciting one. I would say that the films of that particular period, and I'm talking about the 30s, were more or less, looked at from an artistic point of view- you weren't really judging it critically, or philosophically, but you went there for entertainment, and that's about what you got. As to whether or not it was actually portraying something, it was so exciting as a new experience, that I suspect that one would overlook the ideological aspects of it, and while it did not portray, let us say, black America as black America was, or as we had hoped that it would become, was not really the important thing at that time. Later we became more critical of entertainment as such, because we could see that it was shaping the image of people, and influencing, politically and socially, American life. But in the early days, we were thrilled, really, to see something on the screen.
OK, [ gap: ;reason: unintelligible ]
Yeah, it's not that [ gap: ;reason: unintelligible ] .
OK. Were you aware of the economic power and the political influence of Hollywood at that time?
At the beginning, one had very little thought of the tremendous influence Hollywood would have on America, and on the world, for that matter. It was seen, from a technological point of view, and the acting was the "Charles Chaplin Type," that is, you looked at it as a person who was a good actor, good actress, and so on. It was only later that we discovered that acting was not only entertainment, it was also politically motivated, that it was a means of shaping things, of shaping our lives, creating lasting influences on people. Then it became a rather controversial [sic], and I guess this led to the later inquisition, in which liberal writers and liberal actors were somehow ostracized by Hollywood, because they were beginning to change American life. But at the earlier period of time, that was not so.
OK. But the motion picture industry did provide jobs for blacks, not necessarily on the screen.
The motion picture industry from the viewpoint of employment of minorities, was not a great source. I would say there would be many more blacks employed as caterers on location, or let us say, in more or less, the "lesser" occupations, custodians, preparing actors for different scenes, of that nature, but, and as chauffeurs, and so on. So that was only indirect employment, it was not a major source of employment for minorities. As a matter of fact, even in the case of dramas where Mexican actors were supposed to be featured, many times they were not Mexican. It was not just black, it was a cultural bias that extended across the spectrum.
OK. Now I'm going to go back to the question about your influences, what made you become a Democrat. Do you, you were a Democrat when it wasn't very popular to be one.
The question has sometimes arisen, that, why did I, in a sense, become a Democrat, in an area that was highly Republican at that time? And in the 1930's, the area that I lived in, and that I represented later in Congress, and earlier in the legislative branch of state government, was just beginning to change. The greatest influence, I would say, at that time, on myself, was that I had struggled to get through school, to go to college, only to find out that I had no better opportunity than one who hadn't gone to school at all. To me, the situation was, that Republicanism was obsolete for blacks. Blacks were still Republican merely because it was the party that had presumably freed the blacks and brought them out of slavery, but they were being starved to death under the Hoover policies of that day. President Hoover, in a sense, drove blacks out of the Republican party, into the Democratic ranks, but that was just beginning. When I decided I was a candidate for office, my influence came through my mother, who was a Democrat, and wondered why my dad, who had lost all of his money in bank closing under the Hoover administration, and when we were thrown without employment, and as a family had to depend on surplus food and so forth, she couldn't understand it. So she shamed my dad into becoming a Democrat, but in a sense, she started me out as a Democrat, and when I ran for office, I ran as a Democrat.
OK. You already answered a couple of my questions, so I'm gonna move on to Upton Sinclair for a minute. Did the Democratic Party welcome Upton Sinclair to the fold?
During this time, there were many "erratics," I would say, in terms of departures from normal living. In California in that period of time, that is, throughout the 30s, we had various movements. The so-called "Townsend Movement" to give everyone two hundred dollars a month, and we had the "Ham and Eggs" proposition that every Thursday everybody was going to get a certain sum of money. Nobody ever asked how these things would be financed, but they were dreams that people dreamed, because times were tough. Huey Long was doing the same thing in the State of Louisiana, and in California, we had the rise of an author, Upton Sinclair, and he had an idea that he was going to "end poverty in California." That's where the so-called "EPIC Movement" started. He was, in effect, a Socialist, and was viewed as a Socialist, not as a Democrat, and was not really accepted in the Democratic Party. He was a great influence on the politics of that day, and obviously he became the Democratic nominee, because the rest of the Democratic candidates were too conservative, and too Republican-like, to make a difference. So Upton Sinclair really upset the politics of the state, and brought on a great opposition of all of the forces throughout the state: the established groups, the religious groups, the so-called establishment of the conservative business people and so on, and frightened the people so much until, fortunately or unfortunately, depending on one's view, he lost. But by sweeping the state with a great movement of that type, he did get elected a progressive set-up in the state, that is, Congressmen, state legislators were primarily elected as a result of this movement.
OK, can we cut a second? I wanted to show you a couple of things that I brought along-
OK, so I showed you all that, that anti-Sinclair prop, stuff, did you think that propaganda was fair?
During the so-called EPIC Movement in California, and the candidacy of Upton Sinclair, I would conclude that the state was shocked and highly motivated, in reaction to the type of thing that was done in politics at that time. Upton Sinclair was a very believable type of individual, but he was not a convincing politician as such, and I think that people were not quite ready for the type of statements that were being made. So it was fairly easy to scapegoat things by portraying Upton Sinclair as a Communist, even beyond being a Socialist. People were not quite ready for change. The minorities, who had recently made some gains, were obviously conservative in trying to protect those gains, and so Upton Sinclair, as far as the minority community, for example, did not make many inroads. Obviously, the role of the minister in many communities was a great influence, and by and large, the organized churches, organized religion, was heavily against Upton Sinclair, so that was a real force throughout the state. But the type of things that were circulated is hardly believable. There was, the whole idea of the state was, if Upton Sinclair was elected, California would almost sink into the ocean. I think the propaganda was such that eventually, it was just too much to overcome. There are those who say also that some of the elections were manipulated in certain areas, and I wouldn't doubt at all that ballot boxes were changed in conservative areas where they could get away with it.
There was a determination that Upton Sinclair was not going to be allowed to win, and he didn't. But the fortunate part of it was, that a lot of
** good people, rather liberal, forward-looking people, were elected at that time.
** I recall that Culbert Olson became governor, later, because he was elected a state senator in the Sinclair landslide, and he built on that and became governor of the state, and proved to be a good governor.
Right, right, OK.
Actually, could I ask you repeat one [ gap: ;reason: unintelligible ] , it was very noisy in it, you were talking about minorities who made gains during that time period tended to be more conservative? Can you talk about that again? Because there was a lot of street, and honking behind it.
Do you remember what you said?
We were talking—
I can, I can refresh your memory, you were saying that many people were not ready for the kind of changes that Sinclair proposed—
And in the minority communities where people had made, recently made some gains were conservative and wanted to protect them.
Yeah, in the period of the mid-30's, when minorities were beginning to get a toehold on the state, in terms of political office, in terms of breaking down discrimination in the unions, when they were beginning to become judges for the first time, and to be integrated into the postal service, that they were, in a sense, becoming middle-class. And, as such, we had a movement that blacks becoming more conservative, politically, and not the type—
they were getting a piece of the action, and they wanted to protect it. I suspect that many, just becoming a part of the middle-class, also did not enter into the EPIC Movement
** as such. Professionals tended not to be supportive of the EPIC Movement. I recall that my own brother was a practicing physician, and to him, Upton Sinclair favored socialized medicine, and I recall that I went into one of the Sinclair headquarters, invited to give my own views because I was a candidate, I indicated that I favored a pre-paid health insurance, but not the socialization of medicine. I recall that as a result of that, I was not supported by, not endorsed by the EPIC Movement. In the primaries, after I won my primary, in the final analysis I was a part of the Democratic ticket, but not in the primary, and I think that illustrates the conservative trend that was developing at that time.
So, you weren't, you weren't an EPIC endorsed candidate, but they seem to have claimed you in their victory-
Well, all of those who became Democratic nominees were a part of the so-called "EPIC ticket" in the general election, and that is the way it came about. I was not opposed to the Sinclair movement, I just did not take a real position on it, and as I say, because of one or two issues that I had expressed myself on, I was not endorsed by Upton Sinclair in my primary election.
OK, generally, just to repeat, go over something that you said in the middle of another question, blacks didn't respond very well to Upton Sinclair?
As to whether or not blacks as such responded to the Upton Sinclair movement, I would say that it was very, very lukewarm. They were just becoming Democrats, and I think that that change was fast enough for them, for most of them, they weren't about to change from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party, and then overnight become allied with what was termed a Socialist movement. It was just too shockingly quick. I think that in the final analysis, they voted for the Sinclair ticket in the general election, but that's because they were then becoming strong Democrats, and their economic conditions made them more allied with the new Party, even though Sinclair was a part of it, than with the older party. And consequently, I would say that the support of Sinclair in the black community was lukewarm. The ministers, who exercised quite an influence, were not pro-Sinclair.
Were they anti-Sinclair?
Well, you can phrase it as being anti-Sinclair, I would not go that far. I would say that they were supporters of the Democratic ticket, and more a matter of splitting that ticket than it was a matter of being strongly anti-Sinclair.
OK. Did, did Socialism scare the members of the black community?
The black community has never really been scared by Socialism, and I'm not trying to identify necessarily that voting for or against the EPIC Movement on the basis of the fear of Socialism. Socialism, during those days, was not a great [ gap: ;reason: inaudible ]
And audio ran out. There is no more audio left.
OK, let's talk about what attracted the blacks, or what didn't attract blacks to the EPIC Movement, and that they were attracted to the Democratic Party.
Well, let me state in terms of that particular time and the politics of that particular time, it was not a separate movement as such, but we had several movements that coincided.
** as such were not attracted to the EPIC Movement as such,
** they were never a strong part of it; the leaders were not, let us say, involved in the movement. The movement had very few minority leaders as such, as a part of the EPIC Movement. But blacks were changing, they were becoming Democrats, and the election was not only an election that featured Upton Sinclair, but it featured a lot of other candidates, including myself, as an example, as a Democrat, and I was running as a Democrat—
—who happened to be on a ticket with Mr. Sinclair in the run-off, but the whole—
Sorry, we just ran out.
We ran out, we ran out of film.
Wait for my mark, call, thank you—mark. Second to mark.
OK, so tell me about you running as a Democrat. Explain how you weren't necessarily an EPIC candidate.
During the EPIC Movement in California, let me make it clear that I was not actually running as an EPIC candidate, I was never a strong EPIC supporter, no particular reason, I had no ideological objection to most of the program. I was, however, a Democrat, a new Democrat, who was running as a Democratic candidate. It was tough convincing many of my friends and supporters, as a Democrat, that that was the right thing to do, but I just happened to be a Democrat, and I ran as a Democrat, and while I disagreed with one or two things in the EPIC Movement, it doesn't say, doesn't mean, that I was opposed to the whole idea of changing things across the state. There were many things that needed changing. And so it just happened, we just happened to converge. I think one must put into proper perspective, that that was not the only thing that was happening, particularly in the minority community.
Minority was just beginning to break through many barriers. In those days, we had a terrific time to get a black judge elected, the first one in the state, the first supervisor in the post office,
** the first woman, black woman in the post office, and so forth,
** and all of these things were happening at the same time as the EPIC Movement was happening, so it was not a monolithic community, it was a community that was undergoing a great transition, and as such, people, I think, I think a majority did vote Democratic, and consequently, for the EPIC ticket. And so those two coincided rather than one being the cause of the other.
OK, thank you. When Social Security passed, oh, let me ask you about, I have one more EPIC question, did you hear about some of the scare tactics that were used for businesses?
During the EPIC Campaign, I think that most of us do recall the tremendous pressure that was put on everybody, throughout the state, to oppose Upton Sinclair at least, the top of the ticket. I recall that in business after business, throughout industry, employers would call their employees in just before the election and say, now look, if Upton Sinclair is elected, you're not gonna have a job. I can recall that in many household, blacks who were in service, and that was a great number of them, were told that, if Mr. Sinclair is elected, I won't be able to hire you to continue in employment. And that type of pressure was throughout the state, and that was a tremendous dis-incentive to vote for the top of the ticket.
OK. All right. Social Security. Why did African-Americans feel so happy when Roosevelt signed the Social Security bill?
For a long time, African-Americans were not the ones who enjoyed government benefits. They had been denied this in the Deep South, and even in the north, and also in the West. The idea of the government helping them was somewhat foreign. In 1935, when the Social Security Act was passed, I think one must remember that the Act included not only protection for the elderly, but it also began protection for children. For the first time, child aid became a reality, and that was an important part of the Act for blacks, and the Act also provided help for the disabled, and led also to such later programs as Medicare and Medicaid, and whatnot, and these were tremendous benefits to the black community which had been denied them, even when they had been offered to others. But for the first time, everyone enjoyed the benefits of something, under the Social Security Act, and I think that to blacks it was a great life-saver. It's pretty difficult to visualize what type of security people didn't have, in those days. Instead of Social Security, the elderly were confined to what we call, then, 'the poor houses', it was a place that was set aside for the elderly, where they were, in a sense, incarcerated, in a poor house, when they became elderly. The mental cases were actually locked up, those who did not have families, and families, the families just put their mental patients in a—
—in a room—
[ gap: ;reason: inaudible ]
This is take eight.
OK, so, once again if you could tell me why African-Americans felt very happy about the passage of Social Security.
With the adoption of Social Security in 1935, to blacks it was almost like the Emancipation Proclamation, or something comparable, or something like the Magna Carta in the English tradition. For the first time, blacks considered themselves, having something which others had, and which was guaranteed to them, which could not be denied. Everything that happened that was good was somehow denied to African-Americans, but under the Social Security Act, there was no such distinction made, and so it was a real breakthrough. To them, it simply mean, meant, at that time, that as they grew older, they knew that they would gain this as a matter of right. They knew that their children, under childcare, which later became the AFDC and Medicaid, and so forth, they knew that this was an opportunity that they could pass on to the next generation. So it was revolutionary, and a great, great day, not only in American life but I think an outstanding day, similar to the Emancipation Proclamation among African-Americans.
OK, were folks angry that domestic workers were left out of this, though?
At first, obviously, there was this omission, there was the omission of domestic workers, but that was soon repaired, and on the state level we moved to do it, we moved to get those benefits for domestics on the state level. But at that time, and later, obviously, domestic service was not as important to blacks as other occupations, and are we getting, sort of anticipating a later period, when domestic service was no longer the major activity or source of income for black Americans.
Can we cut a second, please?
OK, 1934, what were your hopes and fears, your personal hopes and fears?
In 1934, we in the state were highly involved in civil rights, I would say that we had a civil rights movement prior to the one in the 60's. I have indicated that there were signs throughout the state that indicated that blacks were not welcome in places of public accommodation. Traveling was a problem, at first it was directed against the Chinese, Orientals, who could not ride street-cars in some places throughout the state. At that time we moved to strengthen our civil rights act, we had a civil rights act in California very early, but it was not very strong and it was very poorly enforced. So we moved to strengthen that, and I would say, in the period from about '32 to about '40, that the great impetus was in strengthening the civil rights act. We were not as much concerned with other issues as we were with the one, great issue of civil rights.
Was this your personal feel, [sic] hope?
It was my personal hope that, as a member of the state legislature, we could strengthen the act, so that we could in effect allow minorities to ride undisturbed on street-cars, to testify in the courts where white persons were concerned, in order to break down segregation in the schools, the schools were highly segregated, and also—
—we were just starting out to strengthen the law which would protect minorities against restrictive covenants. They couldn't buy in certain neighborhoods, because they were restricted.
OK, we're out of, we're out of film for right now.
OK, tell us what motivated you to run for State Assembly.
I'm often asked, what motivated me to run for public office at that time, to run for the State Assembly. One, I think, has to put it into proper perspective. In the state of California we had one official, one African-American elected official, and that official happened to come from our community. The individual was very conservative, a dyed-in-the-wool Republican, who did not really do much in terms of the needs of the people, was not concerned with jobs, and housing, and civil rights, and so forth, but merely because he was black, was supported rather with great pride by a community that felt that that was the only official we had, he's ours, and we've got to elect him. And so, a group of us, young people, having graduated from college and without jobs, felt that that indicated to the, to the state and to all forces throughout the state, that we were not really meaningful, we had no power, we had a voice that didn't speak for us, and so we decided that that individual had to be defeated in order to turn things around. We supported a candidate in 1932 in order to defeat that individual. The candidate lost, because the candidate had really been put in by the opposition, and so we decided that, among this little group of young people, that we had to put one of our own up, and I happened to be selected by that group, and supported. For that reason, I ran, and happened to be elected in that election.
OK, thanks. Can you cut?
OK. In 1937 there was the so-called Roosevelt Recession. What effect did this recession have on California?
Near the end of the decade of the30s, there was a reaction to the New Deal programs. Business interests that had really profited under the New Deal, decided that it was too revolutionary, that in some way various activities would be nationalized, or that the so-called private enterprise would be somewhat diminished by national regulations and social programs. A recession developed, and we began to see unemployment again, that we had escaped a decade earlier. As a result of that, the New Deal was hard-pressed to think of new programs...Mr. Roosevelt persisted, however, and at first there was an attempt to balance the budget. When that failed, failed to produce the kind of economic activity that was needed to put people to work, Mr. Roosevelt just thought of new agencies, and just kept thinking of new agencies to put people to work, to provide for those who were in hardship, or distressed, and so we began to see again some of the agencies that were earlier created, such as an extension of the Works Progress Administration, the Public Works Administration, and so on. So, instead of having people idle, or go on the dole, we had new agencies that created jobs, building bridges, preparing buildings that needed preparing, the concept being, put people to work doing that, which would not compete with the private sector.
OK, can you cut?
There were, there must have been cuts in California, as a result of this.
All of the activity that I've indicated was happening on the national scene, was duplicated, on a smaller scale, within the state. The state was beginning to develop some huge projects, which did employ people. We had to go over to the Colorado River to get water, so that we had to build a transmission line. That employed a large number of individuals. We had to go three hundred miles to the high Sierras to get a water supply for the city, so the metropolitan water district became a most important thing for the development of Southern California. And so in terms of building flood control, getting a water supply, irrigating the farms of the various valleys, individuals were employed. This was a type of work which gradually we got minorities into. Proud of that time. Many had been sent over the mountains, what we call the mountains was a ridge route to San Francisco, in order to pick cotton in the valley. That was a temporary type of work. Harvesting the crops, but-
So, so, so when they cut the money, what happened? When there was less money in the state, did these projects fall through?
The projects were primarily supported by taxpayer's money. The metropolitan water district consisted not only of Los Angeles, but every small town in Southern California that needed a water supply. So the money came from bond issues, and the people taxing themselves in order to support them. The generation of power from the Colorado River, the old Boulder Dam Project, as it was earlier called, was federally supported, but it was a regional project, localized primarily in California, which needed the power more than any of the other states in the Southwest.
But indirectly, there were such projects as this, that kept the people employed.
OK, all right. What, at the end of the decade, basically the New Deal started unraveling. What did you feel about this?
Well, as the, as the Work Projects idea became obsolete, or didn't employ enough people, we began anticipating the arming of the country for the, what became World War II. So along with such international episodes as Mussolini going into Ethiopia, the Germans going into Czechoslovakia and so forth, there was a great amount of activity started in California, because of its climate, in, in preparing for a defense posture, and that began to employ people. While it accelerated much more, later, it started about '35, between '35 and '40, 1940.
OK, can we cut?
Mark. Go.
OK, go ahead. Well, tell me about the sense of lost as the New Deal closed in California.
In California, we never really marked the close of the New Deal. I would say that we suffered less than the rest of the country. California was a progressive state, is, much more progressive than even now, and we were moving ahead in order to anticipate an increased prosperity. We were beginning through universities, through California Technology, through Stanford, University of California system, and such universities, to develop outstanding products and actually, we were on the, we saw the verge of growing technology, and in many places we were quite advanced. Now, I'm not saying that that kept up, but at that time with respect to the rest of the country, we were doing extremely well. Agriculture was highly productive, we had mechanized farms, we had specialty crops, and I would say it was to a long time of a leading industry [sic].
What about the War? Did that have any effect on the state, the coming of the War?
The, of course, the war effort was more highly developed in the 40's than in the decade of the 30s, but our defense industries were developed, and ship-building, aircraft, and allied industries. So we were ahead of the rest of the country.
Were people coming from other places to—
It's pretty obvious that out of this activity we attracted people from all over the country. We, as a result of that, had problems—
—because we not only attracted engineers and scientists and professionals, but we also attracted individuals who were, in a sense, the victims of poverty elsewhere, and—
For a long time we had problems with that, because California had earlier attempted to put up a blockade to stop people at the border, which was declared unconstitutional, fortunately, but we accepted them in terms of welfare benefits. It was said that our benefits were better than most of the other country, other states', however that is no longer true.
Right, OK, we're, we're out of film.

It's never easy to share bad news, but the task can feel especially hard when it comes to talking about disturbing situations with kids.
Whether it's answering questions about frightening front-page news or talking about the passing of a loved one, it's key that children understand they have support from a trusted parent or caregiver.
Here are 8 tips for how to handle these tough conversations about difficult news:
- Tell kids the truth.
- Start by asking them what they know – and correct any misunderstandings.
- Tell them first, before they hear it elsewhere.
- Put the facts into terms they can understand.
- Don't give them more information than they ask for.
- Ask how they feel about it, and listen to their concerns.
- Let them ask questions and lead the conversation.
- Reassure them that they are safe.

STRONGSVILLE, Ohio -- A woman was robbed at gunpoint almost immediately after she purchased three smartphones at a Verizon Wireless store in Strongsville.
The 28-year-old Cleveland woman reported at 6:30 p.m. Saturday that she bought three Apple iPhone 5Ss at the Pearl Road store. The phones were worth a combined $696.
A man she recognized only as "Steven" approached her in the parking lot with two other men. One of the men pulled out a black semi-automatic gun.
The men took the cell phones and left the parking lot in a light blue Chrysler Town and Country with a temporary tag, the woman told police.
The incident is still being investigated, police said Tuesday.

Clearly, Marrone felt it was an area the Orange could exploit despite the knowledge that special-teams breakdowns had cost Syracuse directly in four of its five losses while Louisville had been able to rise above similar mistakes and prevail.
He sensed that Louisville's return teams were set up more to simply get the ball safely into the hands of dynamic quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and the offense rather than produce a big play. He studied the Cardinals' coverage teams and believed they were susceptible to decent returns tilting the field position in his favor. And he felt his punt-block team could produce a game-changing play if needed.
"We have two different punt blocks in," he said on the eve of SU's 45-26 upset in the Carrier Dome. "We're going after him (Ryan Johnson) hard if the situation is right."
On his side of the ball Marrone thought long and hard about the status of sophomore kick returner Jeremiah Kobena, who had fumbled the opening kickoff a week earlier in a 35-24 loss at Cincinnati. Ultimately, he decided to stick with Kobena. Junior place-kicker Ross Krautman would also remain in the lineup despite a frustrating 10-for-18 season.
As it turned out the Orange never went for a punt block, likely because it played from in front nearly the entire game and didn't want to risk a roughing-the-kicker penalty against a team with such a potent offense. It got a 37-yard kick return from Kobena and a 22-yard punt return from Ritchy Desir
Krautman made his lone field-goal try, a 20-yard chip shot. Jonathan Fisher chipped in, too, averaging 47.3 yards on three punts. Only one of them was returned, for two yards.
And Syracuse got a gift early when for the second time in two games an opposing punt returner – this time Louisville's Scott Radcliff – dropped a punt deep inside his own territory and SU's Lewellyn Coker fell on it.
The ensuing touchdown got the Orange rolling. Mirroring the performance of the SU offense and defense, the special teams played a significant role in the victory.

Reading Police said a man was shot overnight in the city, but the details of the incident are sketchy.
Officials said a man arrived at Reading Hospital with a gunshot wound early Saturday morning. Police said the man told them he was shot as a passenger inside a taxi in the city at 5th and Penn streets.
But police said they contact both taxi companies in the city, neither of which was involved in any shootings, officials said.
Police said they heard shots fired in the city at Franklin and Orange streets about an hour before the man showed up at the hospital. They also found shell casings at that scene. Police said they are investigating whether that's where the man was shot.
There's no word on his name or condition.

Album Summary
- Jonathan Biss (Piano)
Notes & Reviews:
Wigmore Hall Live releases a new CD by pianist Jonathan Biss of works by Franz Schubert and Gyorgy Kurtag. Recorded before a live audience at Wigmore Hall this past May, the album is Biss' first for the Wigmore Hall Live label. "It's very interesting how these kinds of pairings across the centuries work," said Biss. "It's not only that Kurtag responds to Schubert but also that the reverse is true. Somehow Schubert's music is changed and affected, and its chemistry is altered by sharing a platform with Kurtag."
American Record Guide, November/December 2014
Jonathan Biss chooses to program Schumann and Janacek together. He is not the only one who has done this recently: Piotr Anderszewski regularly performs the two together in his concerts, as does Marc-Andre Hamelin (his take on Schumann and Janacek is also covered in this review). Movements from the Fantasy Pieces are interspersed with five movements from On the Overgrown Path to reveal connections despite two different musical idioms. The pairings are done thoughtfully - Schumann's 'Warum' and Janacek's 'Blown Away Leaf' have the same lyrical qualities. Biss's approach is moderate, without much harshness or fury, but full of vivid colors. Davidsbundlertanze, dramatic and evocative, is well done. A very sensitive 'Gesange der Fruhe' concludes the program.

The bird has been causing havoc for toll collectors and motorists as it runs across toll booths, plays in traffic, and sits atop toll collectors' parked cars.
Turnpike Authority spokesman Joe Orlando said efforts during the weekend to catch the turkey were unsuccessful, and for the time being, the bird will be left alone.
Collectors will have to continue putting cones on their parked cars because the turkey likes to jump on the cars, and motorists will continue dodging the bird.

PAUL SMITHS - The former Camp Gabriels is not in good shape.
Many of the 50 or so buildings leak or have problems with mold, several people who have been on the property said at a town meeting on the former prison's future Wednesday evening. The problems with the old buildings - some of which contain asbestos - have only gotten worse since the prison closed in summer 2009.
"The state didn't do us any favors by just closing everything up," said Brian McDonnell, who is on the reuse committee the town created in early 2010.

Bruce Sawyer, who worked at the prison for more than 26 years, said its water and sewer systems would have to be upgraded. He said the average winter electric bill was between $10,000 and $12,000, the boilers used 250 gallons of fuel a day in the summer, and for these and other reasons, it would be cost-prohibitive to run.
One takeaway from the meeting at the Paul Smiths-Gabriels firehouse is that the property could be easier to sell if the buildings on it were torn down. Chris Leifheit called the buildings "the elephant in the room."
"The buildings are the thing we seem to be stuck on," he said.
"Level the buildings, and plant trees," said Chris Woodward. "You're going to have a hell of a lot more value in that property than you've got now."
The state put the property up for auction last year, and a number of potential investors toured it. The minimum bid was $950,000; bidding closed in November with no bids.
Another takeaway is that the more than 40 people in the room, for the most part, opposed the town of Brighton's taking it over. Town Supervisor John Quenell sent a letter to a large number of town residents in the days before the meeting, inviting people to it and raising the possibility of the town's acquiring it at no cost.
Quenell said Wednesday night that he had "floated a concept" but that the town board had not seriously discussed taking over the property. He said the town would only acquire the camp under "very special circumstances."
"We're not going to burden the taxpayer any more than we already are," Quenell said.
Tracy Santagate said it would make no sense for the town to take on the expense of the camp, noting that the town hall is still vacant and being renovated.
"The cart is so far ahead of the horse, we can't even see the horse," Santagate said.
Leifheit said the camp is "not something we can deal with," and McDonnell said he would be opposed to the town doing anything other than trying to get property tax revenue from the property. Currently, the state is not paying any property taxes.
One idea, which most people in the room supported, is to change the property's classification so the state would pay taxes on it. It doesn't sound like this would be possible with the buildings on it, however, town Assessor Doug Tichenor said Thursday morning.
"Buildings owned by the state are exempt," Tichenor said. "It's no longer a prison, but it is owned by the state of New York."
Camp Gabriels would be worth $2.56 million at a 100 percent equalization rate; its current $2.2 million value is based on the town's equalization rate of 86 percent. Tichenor said he thinks the assessment is too high and plans to change it to about $995,000.
"If it sells, it will sell for that or less," he said.
At a $995,000 assessment, Tichenor said the property's total town, county and school tax bill would be about $25,000 yearly.
The state does pay taxes on its Forest Preserve property. Environmental advocate Dave Gibson said in a recent commentary on the Adirondack Almanack blog that, as state-owned property in a Forest Preserve county, Camp Gabriels is Forest Preserve by definition in the state Constitution and its sale would therefore require a constitutional amendment. The state is currently treating the land as surplus property, however, not as Forest Preserve.
A few people suggested finding a way to preserve the 100-year-old chapel even if the other buildings are torn down. The chapel was designed by the architect Isaac G. Perry, a Keeseville native who designed many well-known buildings throughout the state. Local historian Pat Willis suggested the chapel could be a historic museum and library for the town.
"We have no place to put artifacts now," Willis said.
The meeting started with a half-hour-long debate on how to run the meeting. It was advertised as a public hearing where town resident Bob Eckert would run a brainstorming session.
Eckert is CEO of New and Improved, a company that specializes in helping people explore problems and find solutions. His plan was to present data, then divide the attendees into groups that would discuss it, build off each other's ideas and come up with written proposals.
Town board members Lydia Wright and Peter Shrope objected to this format, saying they wanted more of a traditional public hearing, where people would voice their opinions to the entire audience.
"As a board member, I want to hear directly from all the people in the room what their thoughts are," Shrope said.
"I had no idea it was going to be this structured," Wright said. "I certainly didn't know this was what the venue was going to be."
Sheila Delarm, Eckert's wife, defended his proposed format, saying that the point was to stimulate ideas and that Shrope had endorsed that as the purpose when they discussed it on the telephone before.
"Shame on you for taking people down the path that there's a certain agenda for tonight," Delarm said.
Eckert did agree to run the meeting more like a public hearing, and the rest of it consisted of people speaking one by one.
A few people questioned the point of discussing the camp's future use - if the town isn't going to acquire it, then the state will decide whom to sell it to or if to sell it.
Delarm said she thought the town's residents should still discuss their ideas. She said people in the community would be upset if, down the road, the property were to be sold without their having the chance to voice their opinions.
"I'd rather get in front of it than have the state sell it to somebody that comes in," whose plans might not be compatible with the town's goals, she said.
Woodward said he thought it would be useful for town residents to brainstorm possible private uses they would like to see and use this to market the property. Shrope agreed and said that would be "step number two. This needed to happen first."

This infographic from Finances Online is great. Not exactly telling me anything I didn't already know, but it's cool to see the actual stats on it.
Women dominate online. We kind of rule at this whole communicating via the internet thing.
What? Women like communicating? SHOCKER!
This is how you do Twitter. Hands down.
When I followed @drawnyourtweet yesterday morning they were at around 2500 followers, now, as I write this he or she is up to 11.6k!
Everyone wants their tweet drawn. I am no exception (unfortunately they do not take requests)! It plays into our deep desire to be recognized by a stranger, and takes it even further by making something we wrote most likely in about two seconds without a further thought, into art. Brilliant.
Also, the art itself is super cute. This person could make serious money if he started taking requests/making it into a business. I'd request a drawing of Mr. Bojangles. It's a genius marketing strategy for an artist – similar to Chris Piascik's Daily Drawings.
Go follow the account, and check out a few of my favourite drawn tweets below.
I think the only people who should have Twitter accounts are comedians. Because it's all about one-liners. I would love it if Conan O'Brien or Reggie Watts or Stephen Colbert were to walk into a room and tell me one joke and leave. But you don't want Gore Vidal telling you 'I'm doing my dishes right now'.
Hello friends! New Years Eve is tomorrow, and if you want to avoid the typical godawful New Years party as described above, I suggest hitting up the El Mocambo or Silver Dollar – great bands, no guidos, no dubstep, normal priced drinks (and free Steamwhistle at midnight Elmo), low cover, lots of good rock music – that's the way to ring in 2012.
Last year I spent my New Years at the Garrison doing exactly what the above mock poster says – spending too much to get into a packed dance club, waiting in long lines to get a drink/use a bathroom, and being unable to talk to any of my friends over the incredibly lame music (it was a 'best music from every decade' dance party which sounded cool but the DJ had a terrible idea of what the "best" music was from every decade so it was just embarrassing). I refuse to ever do that ever again.
Whatever you do, don't be stupid – be safe, stay close to your friends, do not drive (!!!) as the TTC should be open all night for free as per usual so use it – and lets make 2012 the best year yet. We are another year closer to Rob Ford being out of office, that is something to celebrate if you ask me.

Today Your Legal Corner will provide information on recognizing the signs of Domestic Violence.
Despite acknowledgment of a domestic violence relationship, many victims choose to stay. There are numerous reasons why victims decide not to end a domestic violence relationship.
The reasons range anywhere from financial through emotional. For example, a union of two may find it financially difficult to live independently as one, especially when there are children involved.
For this reason alone, even with the risks of substantial harm, a victim will choose to stay with his or her abuser.
In fact, in this country, statistics show that on average, 11,000 victims per day are severely assaulted by their significant others.
Additionally, although the protections offered under the Domestic Violence Act are gender neutral, protecting both women and men, most victims are female and most abusers are male.
As education can be the greatest equalizer, learn to recognize the signs of domestic violence.
The cycle of domestic violence has three steps which include the tension-building phase, the abuse phase and the honeymoon phase.
1. Tension Building
The first step is known as the tension-building phase. Here, the abuser begins to complain, yell or criticize. Alternatively, the victim tries to please the abuser in an effort to stop the incident from happening or escalating. Quite often, the victim falsely believes that he or she can alter the abuser's behavior, minimizing or preventing a domestic violence outcome.
2. Abuse
The second step is the actual domestic violence incident. The abuser may strike, threaten or, by some other way, instill fear in the victim. The victim is usually not assaulted the first time he or she is exposed to the cycle of domestic violence. Rather, the type and intensity of abuse will heighten each time the cycle is completed.
3. Honeymoon Phase
The last period is known as the Honeymoon Phase. This is where the abuser proclaims how sorry he or she is while promising it will never happen again. Yet, any seasoned domestic violence attorney will tell you that without counseling and or legal intervention, domestic violence behavior will happen again, and again, and again.
Domestic violence education helps everyone to recognize the signs of abuse. Should you witness or experience a crime of domestic violence, don't just sit idly by. Take a moment to report the incident to the police and to contact an experienced domestic violence attorney if needed.
To find supplementary domestic violence information, contact the national hotline at 1- 800-799-7233. The National Hotline can provide the available local programs within your area or another area should a victim require discretion.
In Gloucester County, SERV is the domestic violence service agency and their number is 856-881-3335. For Salem County domestic violence information, contact the Salem County Women's Services at 856-935-6655.
For the safety of our communities, we need to report acts of domestic violence by calling 911. Remember, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter!"
Till next week, God bless, keep smiling and remember who's in Your Legal Corner, when YLC will discuss "What is the Domestic Violence Act."

Letting Students Attend Ironmen Game Was Fine
February 6, 2013
To The Reader's Forum: I have been floored by the amount of negativity that has been milling around the community in regards to our local school districts attending the recent local hockey game....
Why not teach them respect honor have you any way of doing that taking them to a hockey game I seem some of these kids you say we're good you must have been watching the game and not them

I don't know if taking kids to a hockey game - a sport known for violence between players - is good, especially to teach "public etiquette". Why can't this be left up to parents? Kids shouldn't be playing video games during school hours anyways.

I'm with Jazz. All those mentioned reasons are something learned from the parents and by just being in a school environment. Nothing educational here. Makes some bureaucrat feel warm and fuzzy and gets points with the kids. Expect more when the kids start evaluating the teachers.

It amazes me how ignorant/uneducated some of you are! Many of you missed some of the main points: *Parents(not all) are not teaching their kids these things at home, the teachers are responsible for teaching ALL aspects of life. *@Jazzie, hockey is no more violent than some basketball, football, or soccer games I've seen. If a hockey player is inappropriate, he gets a consequence(penalty/fine), and the video game comment doesn't even make sense, the idea was to show a way to be active/fit, rather than play video games, not that they are playing video games in school. @izzapriss, Inservice days are most times packed with information and training for teacher to improve(huge on state evaluation of teachers, everyone wants better teachers), it's your problem if your child sat around for a week, make her do something (volunteer/babsit) when she's not in school. Not sure what we can do about snow days and government holidays. @50s4ever, I would love to have my students evaluate me!!!

"I don't know if taking kids to a hockey game - a sport known for violence between players - is good, especially to teach "public etiquette". Why can't this be left up to parents?"
Let me assure you, as someone who spent 14 years working in public libraries, that parents themselves often do not understand public etiquette let alone bother to teach it. I have literally been screamed at by a parent for intervening when her child was strangling another, smaller child. ("Boys will be boys!" she said. Uh, I guess? Right up until they're corpses.) Unfortunately public servants are now expected to teach and enforce it in public areas.
Yes, museums and planetariums (and libraries!) are wonderful, but sports also have something to teach. Also, exposing children to a wide range of experiences in a controlled, educational environment certainly teaches them more than just doing the same things over and over.

The shame is that the hockey game is probably the only option. I remember the trips to the Zoo, Museums, and even Toronto. One of our favorite parts of the trip to through Buffalo was the smell from the steel plant. My youngest childs furthest trip was to the challenger center in Olean.

Is Hayden Panettiere's 'Telescope' a real hit or a novelty?
Hayden Panettiere has a top 40 country hit, but is it real? In an art-imitates-life-imitates-art way, Big Machine Records, home to such artists as Taylor Swift, released "Telescope," a song Panettiere's character, Juliette Barnes, sang on the ABC series "Nashville."
[More after the jump...]
The label released the tune, slightly slicked up for radio, under Panettiere's name and shot a video that in no way ties in with the television show. So it's entirely possible that people are hearing the song on the radio or seeing the video on CMT and thinking, "Oh, that girl from 'Heroes' has gone country," without know that there's a connection.
We're used to songs released from non-reality television shows by now: "Glee" does it every week. "Smash" has tried it as well. What's interesting about Panettiere's case is that Big Machine is clearly testing the waters to see if she can have her own country career outside of "Nashville." She's young, she's cute, she can marginally sing... hey, it's worked before.
The song debuted on Billboard Country Airplay's chart two weeks ago at No. 51. Last week, it moved to 45 and on this week's chart, released Monday night, it leaps to No. 39 with a bullet. Note that this is Billboard's Airplay chart, not the Billboard Country Songs chart. There is now a big distinction to be made between the two since Billboard changed its reporting structure a few weeks ago.
Billboard's Country Airplay chart is, as the name implies, based solely on airplay from 126 monitored country stations. Billboard Country Songs chart now incorporates digital download sales and streaming, as well as airplay, into the calculations. On last week's Billboard Country Songs chart, "Telescope" was No. 43. This week's Billboard Country Songs chart will come out on Wednesday.
Will "Telescope," the lead single from the forthcoming "The Music of Nashville: Original Soundtrack," be a real radio hit or just a novelty? Probably somewhere closer to a novelty. "Telescope" received 360 plays this week, up 60 from the week before. The telling number there is the low number of increased plays from the previous week. For example, Chris Young, who is coming off a series of No. 1s, is at No. 36 with "I Can Take If From There." The song received 567 spins, up 100 from the week before. Tim McGraw's "One Of Those Nights" is at No. 33 with 648. That's 420 more plays that it got last week when it debuted on the chart at No. 44.
For a sense of perspective, this week's No. 1 song on Country Airplay, Luke Bryan's "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye," received 5,839 plays.
Hillary Lindsey and C. R. Barlowe wrote "Telescope," and they're collectively behind such hits as Carrie Underwood's "Jesus, Take The Wheel," Swift's "Fearless" and "Untouchable," and Lady Antebellum's "American Honey," so it passes the sniff test there. But we can't help wondering how the song would have turned out if someone with more sass, such as a Miranda Lambert, had cut it.
Plus, the video looks like it was shot for $3.95 (though we had to laugh at the quick shot of a map of Nashville so folks can try to connect the dots). Panettiere seems very uncomfortable as she hogties her cheating beau and hangs him up like a slab of meat. It's a horrible concept, badly delivered.
However, it's foolish to bet against Big Machine head honcho Scott Borchetta, who can be relentless when it comes to pursuing a hit. He told Billboard.com that when time allows, Panettiere will be out visiting radio stations promoting the song, just like any other brand new artist.
If we had to make a prediction, we say "Telescope" tops out no higher than 25. When's Connie Britton's single coming? Oh yeah, radio doesn't play "heritage" acts anymore.

By BILL GUNDERSON
Investors, look up from the weeds, just for a moment. Here is what you should do even when you do not know what to do.
The big picture begins with panic: Don't.
The Bull is dead. But it is too soon to announce the new Bear. We are in between.
A financial talking head on a cable TV news program recently told her clients to sell everything. Mistake.
Amateurs go to cash. Selling everything is an emotional knee-jerk reaction to turmoil that can ruin years of portfolio planning.
That is not to say you should hold on to your dogs: Lots of people make the expensive mistake of confusing big and well known with safe and secure.
If your portfolio is full of high visibility, under-performing duds like General Electric (GE), Microsoft (MSFT), Cisco (CSCO), Intel (INTC), Bank of America (BAC), and Pfizer (PFE) -- by all means sell.
Few people realize how truly dismal these big-time stocks have been in the bull market. They will not get better if times get tougher.
Doing nothing is almost as bad: There is no excuse for sitting on your hands and watching your portfolio sink into ruin.
No one knows if this indeed is the beginning of a new bear market. But just asking the question should open some doors and shut others.
Just like a garden, it is time to trim, prune, weed, and hedge.
Kill your darlings. Even if they made you a lot of money, get rid of the investments that are breaking down. I recently locked in nice profits in Fossil (FOSL) and Golar (GLNG), both have been big holdings at my firm and have more than doubled since purchase. I also do not like the action in Caterpillar (CAT), CSX Corp. (CSX), and Cummins (CMI), and a few others, so I got rid of them. Not before making a buck or two along the way, I have to say.
These are good companies, just not good stocks -- at least right now. If things change, I'll be first in line to buy them back.
A reminder: These are good companies. Not good friends.
The recent market turmoil has revealed quality: There are still keepers out there: Apple (AAPL), Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR), Priceline (PCLN), Alexion (ALXN), Autozone (AZO), First Cash Financial (FCFS), Central Fund of Canada (CEF).
These are all "A" rated stocks from my Best Stocks Now book and app. Of the 2700 stocks I follow, I rate less than 8 percent investment grade.
William Shatner and Priceline have made their owners a heck of a lot more money than any of the CEO's on the President's Jobs Commission. Publicly traded pawn shops are far better investments than your biggest banks.
It's a new day.
Consider hedging your portfolio with some inverse Exchange Traded Funds (ETF's) that go up when their underlying indexes go down. I currently have positions in SEF (Financials), EFZ (Europe), and EUM (Emerging Markets), which I feel are some of the weakest areas in the market right now.
It used to be very difficult to hedge a portfolio. You had to short individual stocks or purchase options. You also needed a margin or options agreement. In addition to this, many custodians would not let you short stocks in an IRA account.
Now with the advent of inverse ETFs (I like Profunds) it is very easy to hedge or un-hedge a portfolio.
If you like gold, and you should, then investing in the Swiss Franc is a great way to capture that.
Evaluate your positions one at a time. Do not try to convince yourself that everything will be fine if the chart of your position is breaking down. Do something if necessary. If you own "A" rated stocks, and the charts are holding firm, do nothing.
It is never too late to create a plan. Never too late to get out of the weeds and get ready for Spring.
