School Plaq
By ROGER B. LETZ
The A&M Future Farmers of
(Ed. Note: Mrs. Hesser is re
ferring to our editorial on the
hospitality being offered the
Madisonville Cattleman Associa
tion’s most anti-Texas individual
Mr. jHaHoran. ,
For non-Philadelphia visitors,
Chestnut Street is one of the
more cosmopolitan drags in the
“friendly" city, while Race Street
is the main Negro district.
We used the reference to
Chestnut as a light suggestion
that we would like to visit Phil
adelphia again.
After reading Mrs. Hesser’s
letter we aren’t too sure. Maybe
that old rebel malady of racial
prejudice has seeped farther
north than we thought.
Thinking back on it all, it does
seem that we recall Race Street
for the pleasant music of Duke
Ellington and Chestnut for the
expensive drinks that were ser
ved some of our fellow sailors
and refused to; others.
The friendly city is probably
still just as cordial as ever, but
it seems that even the metallic
William Penn atop city hall has
turned his back on Race Street
and prefers to smile down at
Chestnut.)
