Enterprise’ from Mrs. lrene Palmer of De Quincy, la., and published in “The Enterprise’’ on Aug. 3, 1966: These marches, demonstrations, riotings, lootings, police slayings and the such makes me literally sick, especially the reasons our Government officials are trying to cram down our throats as causes of these law-breaking episodes. Sir T bce suhst herd served r- = Weartiny hes iship, pain and suing is. I had polio at age 5 months which left my left leg one and ‘ofte-half inches shorter than my right and about one third the size. My father died at 6 p.m. Sunday in 1935, was buried Monday on my seventeenth birthday. My brother died at 5 a.m. Tuesday and was buried Wednesday, leaving me with two-small sisters and my mother to support. At 17 I was not a drop-out in school. With no education —not enough, anyway—no experience and with only one good leg, I quit school and went to work to support a fami- ly. I didn’t have a teen-age life because my working hours were always from 10 to 20 hours a day. In 1948, I got my right hand—my working hand; I'm right- handed—in an elec- tric ice shaver and mangled it. It was doubtful whether I'd ever be able to use it again, but after much pain and suffer- ing I learned to use what I had left of a hand. This left me with one good leg and one good hand, but I didn’t give up. “Follow Me Just One Day—"’ - .1 would like for Earl Warren, President Johnson, H. H. Humphrey, Martin Luther King, and all the hell-raising juveniles to come to my home and follow me just one day. I can guarantee that they wouldn’t have enough pep left to “go on a demonstration, marching or rock-throwing partv. My day begins at 4 a.m. and ends about 8 or 9 p.m., when my health permits. [ do my own housework, cooking, washing, ironing. sewing, raising fowers and a garden. In fact, for the past three weeks I have been standing in a hot kitchen, over a hot stove, canning my vegetables. Have an air conditioner? Are you kidding? Neither do | run up town when I get hot and tum on the water hydrants. nor start rioting and looting stores. Do you see any civil-rights work- ers doing this kind of work, trying to add to their income? If vou do, show ine. U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT Aug. 22, 1966 Aalmer, this te nonsense, ae Jeave. school of 17, Mrs. ppled, force ine has wotked: hard, without. lexuties, Seok: #You will Never “see us in. @ (marching : “demonstration: line “wanting something. for a seer We're too" pen for thot.“ L have two wonderful children who were reared most. of their lives in hot. crowded apartments. They know what it is to do without a lot of the better things of life. If we could have afforded just one vacation for them, it would have been a luxury, vet neither are rioters, rock-throwers. nor lawbreakers. I would like to show some of the officials in Washington, the marchers, rioters, and all those who have their hand stretched oul for a barmivui, some of the baudicapped peu- ple who are making; it on their own and not asking Mr. No- body for anything. ... “Excuses for Riots Are Tommyrot”’ Sir. can our President, Vice President, any civil-rights worker, agitator, or whomever they may be, stand-up and look us handicaps, whose very life itself has been a struggle for most of us, in the eye and try to cram down our throats an idea as idiotic as hot weather, crowded living quarters, low income, hard working conditions and all the other ex- cuses they try to pass on to the people as being reasons for these riots we are having? I for one cannot nor will I swal- low such tommyrot. You may see us handicaps become furious when we see a gang of able-bodied men and women, whether they are black. white, purple or spotted, running up and down our nation saying I want this, gimme that. without lifting « finger to earn it, but vou will never see us in a marching demonstration line wanting something for nothing. We're too proud for that. I believe a great lesson could be learned from the handi- caps. First, faith; then courage, patience. love, kindness, long suffering, pride. competence and al] the things that make lite worthwhile. Sir, I didn’t intend to write a newspaper when I started, but IT have watched so much of these disgraceful crime waves. which are so useless, on television, and read so much about it in the papers, until I just had to say my piece. So | will close and leave an open invitation for the Pres- ident, H.H.H., Martin Luther King and his followers, the agitators or whoever it may be who thinks it takes a crime wave to make a living in this old world, to come and follow in my footsteps just one day and I'll show them what can be done if anyone has the get-up about them to try. tr co

We can point with pride to our success in Columbus also, but, Atlanta, being such a large city, would nat- urally be more in the national scene than Columbus and it has certainly been noticeable over the country that Atlanta has had progress on such an amicable basis. It is not my personal opinion that the Negro citizens in Atlanta are to blame for this outburst. The source of the trouble is far more basic. It is certainly the fault of the powers who countenance such demonstrations and actually encourage them. We wish you every success in your progressive program. With best regards.

Never was I as proud of you as I was after noting how you handled the disorder which erupted in Atlanta on Monday of this week. You have given Atlanta wonderful leadership and I think your courageous handling of the racial dis=- turbance will do a great deal to prevent others from occurring. I think there are very few who want to see the colored race mis- treated. On the other hand, we do not feel that they should be per- mitted to completely take over and have no regard for law and order. In this respect, you handled the situation in a very noble manner. My congratulations to you, Mayor Allen! Sincerely, HUBBARD PANTS COMPANY JT ~ George C. Turner Vice-President GCT:fs

I don't know that I have ever seen anyone display such courage and in my humble opinion, I don't think that anyone could have handled the situation any better. I do not believe that there are many men that would have stood up to the situation like you did and the people of Atlanta and the State of Georgia should be most grateful to you.
