Carr in a telephone conversation with The Star-Telegram said that the papers had published a lot about the removal of the portraits without his consent and when asked the direct question of whether the pictures were to he returned, replied: ''That's none of your particular business." Peak as president of the Historical Society , wrote a letter to the City Manager remonstrating against the removal of the portraits recently Carr in reply stated that a business office was not the proper place for such portraits and that the portraits were really the property of the fire department instead of city hall. Taken Up by Letter. One member of the Historical So- ciety, who asked not to be quoted, said Saturday morning that the society look the matter up with Carr by letter after a committee waited in his anteroom more than two hours without receiving an audience. The Historical Society in asking that the pictures be returned to their original places takes the stand that while they are not works of art the portraits represent the pioneer spirit responsible for the founding of Fort (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2.)

June 1931 issue of the Moslah News, the newspaper of the Moslah Temple Shrine and printed by students of the Masonic Home and School in Fort Worth., MOSLAH NEWS JUNE 1931 Moslah NEWS FatherTalks Son Shriner to His (From Sudan Bulletin) STEN, Son: I am saying this to you as you lie asleep, one little paw crumpled under your cheek and the blond curls stickily wet on your damp forehead . I have stolen into your room alone. Just a few minutes ago, as I sat reading my paper in the library, a hot, stifling wave of remorse swept over me. I could not resist it. Guiltily I came to your bedside. These are the things I was thinking, son: I had been cross to you. I scolded you as you were dressing for school because you gave your face merely a dab with a towel. I took you to task for not cleaning your shoes. I called out angrily when I found you had thrown some of your things on the floor. At breakfast I found fault, too. You spilled things. You gulped down your food. You put your elbows on the table. You spread butter too thick on your bread. And as you started off to play and I made for my train, you turned and waved a little hand and called, "Good- bye, Daddy!" and I frowned, and said in reply, "Hold your shoulders back." Then it began all over again in the late afternoon. As I came up the hill road I spied you, down on your knees, playing marbles. There were holes in your stockings. I humiliated you before your boy friends by making you march ahead of me back to the house. Stockings were expensive-and if you had to buy them you would be more careful! Imagine that, son, from a father! It was such stupid and silly logic. Do you remember, later, when I was reading in the library, how you came in, softly, timidly, with a sort of hurt, hunted look in your eyes? When I glanced up over my paper, impatient at the interruption, you hesitated at the door. "What is it you want?" I snapped. You said nothing, but ran across in one tempestuous plunge, and threw your arms around my neck and kissed me, again and again, and your small arms tighte'ned with an affection that God had set blooming in your heart and which even neglect could

I have copied some of these items from the files of the paper now in the. Fort Worth Public Library, and am enclosing them her th .

Long before the hour of commencing the seats were all occupied, at the 8 1/2 o ' clock , there scarcely remained stand­ing room, and many who arrived later were obliged to retrace their steps, unable to gain an entrance. The. band entered the door at the appointed time, and much to the discomfiture of the ladies suddenly pealed forth a quick step march, it being the signal for the entrance of the scholars , who, in their pretty co costums e, marched down the isle (?) in single file, and disappeared from sight behind the stage curta

Letter to Helen Hascall of Saratoga Springs, New York, possibly written by Judge John Lynde from Plattsburgh, New York, opens with a preamble commenting on the quality of the writing paper stating, "I suppose it was ruled for the benefit of those who cannot write straight." In a self deprecating manner, the preamble further warns the letter's recipient of the drudgery of reading it and suggests that if she has better things to do, then she "had better put this [letter] in the fire." The author of the letter expresses his approval of a Mr. Chittendon escorting Helen during her travel, "because you will feel at liberty to call on him whenever you want." Judge Lynde also reports that their mutual friend, Lemuel Stetson, has excellent business prospects.

The Wonderful Web: A Biography of Mr. and Mrs. Belle Burchill, by Edna Burchill.

Biographical essay on Mrs. Belle Burchill creating a benevolent home for children in Fort Worth, during the 1880s., A BOOT-BLACKS HOME In the early 1880s Worth Mrs. Delia Collins and two sons, Frank and Warren Collins, arrived in Fort Worth Mrs. Collins and my Mother happened to meet and were discussing the frightful condition of the bootblacks in Fort Worth. In those days there were no Negro bootblacks; they were all white boys who migrated from the North because of the mild climate. They slept in alleys, in boxes, because there were no child welfare organizations in those days; charitable in fact there . was no provision for either a boy or girl, . in 1885 So Mama and Mrs Coll Collins wteon ttalk to Captain M. B. Loyd, who was President of the First National Bank; and he told them he had J building Third and Main Streets boot-blacks homreent free collected books so they could have something to read at night., and f hey five had breakfast for five cents lunch at noontime cents, and their supper was five cents. They had the facilities of a hot bath and clean clothes,. My Mother had an agreement with the police depart-ment that should one of these boys get into trouble they would never put them in the calaboose be cause it was alive with lice, and to simply take the boy that was in trouble to this home and the next morning let her know and she would see what could be done. and in later years I knew many men in Fort Worth who had found a haven in that bootblack's home, And I they never forgot the kindness of Mama and Mrs. Collins in giving them a chance to make something of themselves in life. 926 We lived at 9-li W. Weatherford, and one morning W.J. Boaz came to discuss a case with my Mother, wh ich was very disturbing to him There was a man by the name of Seymore who had a l ittle watch repair shop, ai..a he had two girls and a boy and they had remained out all night in thef cold, because Mr . Seymore was drunk and the children could not get in the house. Well Mama tried to explain to Mr. Boaz that you could not put little girls in a bootblack's home, but if he would help her she

Letter from Julian Simon, attorney on behalf of Edna Burchill, to H. Hittson, Fort Worth Director of Parks. Mr. Simon informs Mr. Hittson that Belle Burchill had sold twenty acres to the city, at a reduced price, with the intention of providing a park to the city. Mr. Simon wishes to amend the deed of property, in order to protect the Burchill's intention for the land, which is in the vicinity of Cobb Park., SIMON, JONES AND RATLIFF JULIAN E. SIMON KENNETH H.

Hittson, Director of parks RotaryPark Summit and w. 7th St., Fort worth, Tex a Re : Edna Burchill Land: Cobb Park Area Dear Mr. Hittson, Purauant to our telephone conversation of the date, this to advise that Miss Edna Burchill has taken up with me the problem that she has in regard to 20 acres that she sold to the Park Department in 1949 adjacent to Cobb Park. As you are possibly aware, at the time the road was put in front of this land in question and certainly when Miss Burchill and her mother could ill afford to do so, she was re requested give 40 feet off this land for the purpose of con- structing an-80-foot roadway, with the Park Department hoping get the remaining 40-teet from w. J. Bailey, who owned the rip of land directly adjoining this on the west When the Park Department approached Mr. Bailey he refused to make such contribution, so that Mr. Ed Collett, who was then on the Park Board, went back to Miss Burchill and her mother and requested that they give the entire 80-feet. This was done by Miss Burchill and her mother, whose circumatances were auch at that time they could not even afford to purchase the abstract, so the City agreed to purchase the abstract. After this gift was made by Miss Burchill, they then acquired the strip or land to the west of this proposed roadway from w. J. Bailey for some caah consideration, the amount of which is not now known to Miss Burchill or the writer. The purpose in making this gift of the roadway to the City was twofold, the first being to help the City grow, as Miss Burchill had been a great contributor to the growth of that section of Fort worth, and then the thought that it would enhance the value of her remaining land and that some day, when conditions warranted, she could develop this 20 acres and receive some benefits there­from.

Letter from Preston King of Ogdensburgh, New York makes a comment to Lemuel Stetson, "you closed the proceedings of our county meeting, the greatest gathering of the democracy I ever witnessed out of the city of New York."

Letter from Emanuel Ziegler informs Lemuel Stetson that his son, John Stetson, was killed in battle [Battle of Antietam] near Sharpsburg, Maryland on Wednesday, September 17, 1862. At the request of John's regiment commander, Mr. Ziegler has marked the grave site and offers to show it to Mr. Stetson, if he should desire. Mr. Ziegler regrets "the necessity which compels me to convey such distressing tidings, the consolation is still afforded that he died for his country."
