The Kind "of
INDEPENDENCE
Henry W. Grady talked about years ago
and which we quote below is just as true
today as it was when he spoke it. The only
change we would make is that of adding
the tobacco farmer:
“WHEN every farmer in the south shall
eat bread from his own fields and meat
from his own pastures and disturbed by
no creditors and enslaved by no debt,
shall sit amid his teeming gardens, and
orchards, and vineyards, and dairies, and
barnyards, pitching his crops in his own
wisdom and growing them in independ
ence, making cotton his clean surplus,
and selling it in his own time and in his
chosen market, and not at a master’s
bidding, getting his pay in cash and not
in a receipted mortgage that discharges
his debt but does not restore his free
dom—then shall be breaking the fullness
of our day.”

school auditorium, being sponsored by
the Henderson Cooperative Concert
Association, was born in Boston of
Folish parentage and was brought up
in Lowell, Massachusetts. One of the
youngest pupils of Marcella Sembrich,
the girl also studied at the Institute
of Musical Art in New York under
Madeleine Walther, from where she
was graduated in 1933 with the high
est honors in her class.
The faith such vocal authorities as
Mms. Sembrich and Frank Damrosch
have had in Carolyn Urbanek has
been more than justified by the suc
cess which has marked the first im
portant steps of the soprano’s singing
career.
Miss Urbanek was reviewed most
favorably in Boston. Various periodi
cals spoke of her as “a young musican
of much promise with a natural in
terpretative sense,” one whose voice
“has sweetness, purity, and range,” “a
voice of natural excellence and
beauty.” Another says, “Her tones had
not only brilliance, but warmth.”

Five-Year Old Girl Loses
Thumb, Fingers While
Coloring Pictures
Margaret, five-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Morris, route
1, Oxford, lost her thumb and the
first three fingers of her left hand
yesterday afternoon about 4 o’clock at
her homo while coloring pictures with
crayons, in a picture. There was an
explosion, and bits of metal were
found in the room, which led the pav
ents to believe the child had been in
jured by a dynamite cap. A safety pin
was also found in the room with the
point burned and blackened, and
pieces of crayon with pin holes in
thorn were found, leading the parents
to believe that the cap was imbedded
in the crayon the child was using.
The little girl’s right eye was closed
just in time to keep it from being in
jured, it was said, the outside of the
lid being injured.
In Brantwood hospital, the little
girl was said to be doing as well as
could be expected.
