THE MIGRANT Illinois Town Solves Probem Of the Migrant HOOPESTON, HI.—A social revo lution has taken place in the small town ol Hoopeston in the* ~iast 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, iz 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. This 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 sanitatior and cleanliness were impossible; children were un dernourished and not allowed in the public schools; they were segre gated in the balcony of the local movie and not allowed in the park or swimming pool. They were con sidered a necessary evil, necessary if Hoopeston was to survive because the town made its living from the caiming companies, their huge farms and affiliated industries. Council Is Formed 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 g£oup did was to persuade the migrants to clean up when they came into town so people wouldn’t be prejudiced 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 the mi 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. Children In School The children go to school with the Hoopeston kids and are even learn ing a little Spanish on the play ground. But more important, they are learning that the world is a big place and Hoopeston is not neces sarily the most important in it. The majority of Hoopestonites not only accept the migrants now, they're proud to have them and know that the Latin Americans en rich their town’s life, both finan cially and culturally. The social revolution, of course, was not without its painful moments. And it still goes on in some seg ments of the population. But it hap pened and it could happen in other towns that want to show the world that democracy works. Edith Lowry, executive secretary of the division of home missions of the National Council of Churches, who knows as much about migrants as anyone in America, says that Hoopeston has done the best job of any town in the country. "It no longer has a migrant prob lem,” she said, "because it grasped its migrant opportunity.” Profit Sharing Pottery Firm to Be Sold Soon SCIO, Ohio—Most of the people fa. the village of Scio have shared in the profits of the Scio-Ohio Pottery company for several years. A $3,000,000 business, it has brought prosperity and considerable fame to the community. Now the business is to be sold, but the profit-sharing system for employees will continue. Lew ' Reese bought a pottery company in the town for $3,000 back in 1982. Since then it has grown into the $3,000,000 class. Every year he has shared the profits of the company with employees and been host every Christmas for an em ployee party. Last year he pic 1 ed up a $30,000 tab after bringing more than 1,000 workers to Pitts burgh where he practically took over an entire floor of a large hotel. Since he bought the plant in 1932, Reese estimates he has paid out more than $1,000,000 to employees in profit-sharing bonuses. Workers showed their apprecia tion by putting Reese and the plant back on their feet after a mll- lion-dollar fire leveled the plant in 1947. They donned old clothes, got out the tool boxes, and pitched in beside Reese to rebuild the plant without pay. Reese, who is 59, has been seek ing a buyer to avoid paying about $500,000 in inheritances taxes that would have to be met by his estate after his death. Reese says his estate couldn’t pay the levy. JUST REWARD Two Irishmen, meeting one day, were discussing local news. "Do you know Jim Skelly?” asked Pat. "Faith,” said Mike, "an’ I do.” "Well,” said Pat, "he has had his appendix taken away from him.” "Ye don’t say so!” said Mike. "Well, it serves him right. He should have had it in his wife’s name.” Smart Father . Father looked hard at his wife and then at his son. "That boy has taken money from my pocket!” he stormed. "Ernest,” she protested, "How can you say that? Why, I might have done it.” Father shook his head. "No, you didn’t; there was some left.” Habit Forming Judge (in dentist chair)—"Do you swear that you will pull the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth?” 'Turn About A ladies’ sewing circle is a gath ering in which more husbands are darned than socks. CURE FOR HICCUPS A man rushed Into a drugstore and asked the druggist how to stop the hiccups. The answer was a slap in the face. Amazed and angry, the man demanded the reason for such behavior. "Well,” the druggist said, "you don’t have the hiccups now, do you?” "No,” shouted the rustomer, "but my wife out in the car still has.” Seldom Seen People don’t miss money they don’t see or handle—that’s why husbands and small taxpayers are so unconcerned.

"Who is it?” an irritable voice shouted. “Patrolman Smith,” toe knocker answered. "Well, what do you want?” the woman’s voice cried again. "It’s your husband,” the patrol man said.

"Are you acquainted with any of the jurymen?" asked toe district at torney. "More than half,” grunted the witness.
