Personalised Party Label
With the popularity of sweet tables at parties and glass beverage dispensers these labels are designed to make sure your guests know if they can help themselves or let them know exactly what they are getting. Who wants to get confused between plain lemonade and alcoholic punch!
Perhaps you would like a label that says Please help yourself ... / Please take one ... / Lemonade / Pimms?
You choose what you would like to say in uppercase or lowercase or a mixture of both.
The labels are made from card and measure 18cm by 6cm but if you need them bigger then please just ask. They are strung on bakers twine which measures 30cm each side but if you need it longer just let me know.
I have listed some colours but if you have another colour in mind please just ask ....

Biking on North Tarawa
Atolls are a great place for a bike ride - the southern part of North Tarawa has no cars so biking gets you a lot further to see more. Good news - atolls are flat so it makes riding easy. Bad news - you come to a channel of water to cross about every mile or less. I would not recommend it for South Tarawa though as the drivers are pretty agressive.
Take Air Kiribati between atolls
If you dare.... one of their two little planes crashed. And when I was on Air Kiribati, there were 3 more passengers than seats - passengers were sitting in each others' laps !
Here is the view of Marakei atoll from the air. -
Visit Abaiang, an outer atoll
Abaiang is a 4-hour boat ride (or 15 minute plane ride) from Tarawa. I really enjoyed it. It offers a more traditional and more rural Kiribati than Tarawa. There is one ring-road through Abaiang. You see people employed with coconuts - harvesting them, cutting them open, drying them, etc.
Electric power comes on only at night, for a few hours.
When I was there, there appeared to be only one other tourist on the atoll. -
See the WW2 guns and tanks
In December 1941, a few days after Pearl Harbor, the Japanese occupied 3 of the atolls of Kiribati. They remained until a US offensive in November 1943 - this was the Battle of Tarawa, and took place at Betio (the island at the extreme southwest of Tarawa atoll). The US won this battle, but at great loss of life (thousands of dead on both sides).
You can still see many remnants of the Japanese military occupation. You can see eight-inch guns, anti-aircraft guns, the remains of some tanks, and many bunkers. -
Wander the streets of Betio
Do this during the day only (see my danger tip). Tarawa's population is most heavily concentrated at Betio, which is at the far southwest emd of Tarawa. This is also where the WW2 battle took place between the US and Japanese.
See Betio Harbour
In general, you see very little economic activity happening in Kiribati. But take a trip to Betio harbour and you'll see some activity. This is where the boats go to the outer atolls. It's also where many fishing vessels come in. Kiribati makes a fair amount of its revenue from concessions to Japanese fishing vessels to fish its waters.
See the parliament buildings
Kiribati's modern parliament buildings are on Bairiki Island, north side, on Tarawa atoll. A photo of them appears at the top of my Kiribati intro. They are a stylized version of traditional Kiribati huts.
Just in front of them is this map of Kiribati. This gives you a good idea of the vastness of the area over which the islands are scattered - apparently they are scattered over an area of ocean as wide as the United States. Also, Kiribati straddles both sides of the equator, and both sides of the International Date Line. -
See Kiribati from the air
Kiribati consists of dozens of atolls. Each atoll consists of many long narrow islands arranged in a circle; by 'narrow', I mean usually less than 200 metres wide. The whole circle of islands in an atoll may be 50 km or 80 km long. Here is a view of Tarawa atoll from the air; this is the most populated atoll, and the one considered to be Kiribati's capital.

Outer Gilbert Islands
If you're feeling more adventurous and have enough time to see more than Tarawa, then fly to one of the outer Gilbert Islands. They are all serviced (relatively) regularly by Air Kiribati, although these services are subject to delays and cancellations as the fleet consists of ONE aircraft! So allow a significant buffer zone around your plans.
If you can make it to another Gilbert Island, you'll find real Micronesian lifestyle and culture, with communities living off the land and from the sea in harmony. Most people live in traditional houses and wear traditional clothes. Your presence will be at least a novelty, and more than likely the village you visit will consider your presence to be an honour. I stayed with a family in Bikewa village on Butaritari island and I was looked after very well, including a song and dance performance to welcome me!
You will not enjoy mod-cons or even the level of comfort you are used to, but that is compensated by the environment you will stay in; pristine tropical scenery, happy communities and no crime. The outer islands of Kiribati offer one of the few intact indigineous cultural experiences in the world. I stayed in Butaritari, but believe the other islands offer roughly the same experiences.
The other islands groups - the Line and Phoenix islands - are even further flung than the Gilberts and with the exception of Christmas island, are only accessible by boat.Related to:- Beaches

Real Kiribati life in the capital
Tarawa, Kiribati's capital atoll, is roughly divided into two halves, north and south. South Tarawa gets a lot of bad press, and in many cases rightly so, so if you don't have the time or inclination to get to an outer island, I strongly recommend a visit to North Tarawa, which is very close to the south (which in almost all likelihood you will be staying) but despite this offers a glimpse of traditional Kiribati life, beautiful scenery and safe swimming (South Tarawa's lagoon is polluted).
You can either go for a day trip from South Tarawa or arrange to stay there for a longer experience. For a day trip, either do it yourself or take the Otintaai Hotel's tour on Saturdays. I didn't do this, but heard it's a nice day out for workers or those on tight itineraries. To do your own day trip, take the bus to Buota (the last point on South Tarawa going east), then the canoe over to North Tarawa (50c, five minutes). You can spend the day walking and swimming in beautiful rural Micronesian bliss and will probably be the object of fascination for local children. If you're lucky, you may meet friendly villagers who will invite you to have lunch and/or some sour toddy (alcoholic coconut sap) with them. Then make sure to get the canoe back to Buota before sunset.
For a longer trip, you could stay at the Tabo Te Keekee Homestay (see my accommodation tips) or one of the few other options. Go to the Pacific Travel/DHL/Air Nauru office near the Otintaai Hotel in Bairiki or the tourism office near the post office in Betio for more information.Related to:- Hiking and Walking

War relics
Get the bus to Betio and check out the leftovers from the Battle of Tarawa, one of World War II's fiercest conflicts, which took place between the US and Japan.
First of all, take a look around the town of Betio, which is the bustling population centre of Kiribati and is the only place to find reasonable shopping, facilities and nightlife.
First of all, head to the harbour and walk along the lagoon side, heading west, and you'll get a good vista of various shipwrecks close to shore. Continue walking in that direction and you'll get to Red Beach, so called because of the colour of its sand, which is not actually red but is a darker colour than the usual white sands of Kiribati. I'm not sure if there is some geological explanation or it is simply discoloured through decades of littering and human waste being washed on to the beach. Yes, the sand and sea is filthy, so DO NOT SWIM, but it's worth a look out of morbid curiosity to see the "slums" of Tarawa, which face the sea and apparently have a higher population density than Hong Kong.
As your round Red Beach, you'll come to the westernmost point of Tarawa, where the battle was fought. There are few unidentifiable rusting items half-submerged in the sand, but most impressive is a huge, concrete-mounted gun which was used for firing at incoming ships.
There are also American and Japanese war memorials in Betio.Related to:- Historical Travel
WWII relics
This wreck is in the Butaritari lagoon. It is not a museum of any sort, the wreckages are just there because nobody have removed them.
Large battles took place between Japan and USA during WWII. The linked page is Jane Restures page about these battles.
In Betio, a part of the Tarawa atoll, one of the worst battles of the second world war took place. Many war relics can be seen there, especially at low tide.Related to:- Beaches

Copra is a main export product from Kiribati. We visited a muto in the Butaritari lagoon, where local people move out for a couple of months each year to make copra. See the travelogue about the visit on my Gilbert Islands page.

Trip to Butaritari
Butaritari is one of the outer islands in the Gilberts, 1 hour by air north of Tarawa. Since Butaritari is not a destination of it's own in VT, I have made a travelogue about the trip on my Gilbert Island page.
All in all the week we spent on Butaritari was the best part of our Kiribati adventure!Related to:- Eco-Tourism
- Adventure Travel
- Backpacking
Trip to Abaiang
Abaiang is another Island in the Gilberts. It does not appear in the list of destinations, thus I made a travelogue about this journey on my Gilbert Islands page.
Travelling around Kiribati has tought me a lot, like for instance: serenity, equanimity and patience. Why rush? The boat leaves when the tide is right and the plane arrives after dropping of some passangers on another island to make room for you. You WILL get to wherever you want to go, and the waiting gives you lots of time for contemplation :-)Related to:- Backpacking

Athens —
The No. 10-ranked Trinity Valley Community College Cardinals come into Saturday regular season finale against Southeast Prep knowing where they stand in the post season.
Following a 55-31 win over Tyler Junior College last week, the Cardinals (6-2 overall) are now the outright No. 1 seed in the playoffs and regular season champions.
"Our punt return group did a great job, the kickoff squad gave us good field position and the kickoff return team was solid," Seven-year coach Brad Smiley said. "I thought the punt team was very disappointing and we spent time on film work this past week."
Smiley said the game against SE Prep is business as usual.
Southeast Prep is comprised of players who attend school at locations including San Jacinto and Lone Star College.
It's not unlike a junior college, in that the roster is comprised of many players who were academic non-qualifiers to play at the Division I level coming out of high school.
Kickoff for the non-conference finale at Bruce Field is scheduled for 3 p.m.
"We don't know a lot about them," Smiley said. "We know they have struggled and we don't know much about them personnel wise."
Southest Prep (0-8) quarterback Ben Holmes has led the offense this season for the Spartans.
His favorite offensive target has been 6-3 wide receiver Alex Pina-Rhoden.
Rhoden caught both touchdowns in the Spartans 58-13 loss to Kilgore last weekend.
"They play extremely hard and they have good numbers and size," Smiley said. "The quarterback is good and their receiver caught a couple of touchdowns against Kilgore last week. They have a defensive end that I really like."
Smiley said defensively, the Cardinals will see a mix of spred and I-formation throughout the contest.
"They will spread out and run some I-formation football," Smiley said. "We have to be sound and have our eyes where they are supposed to be."
Sophomore quarterback Ryan Polite will once again led the Cardinals offense on Saturday after he was named the Offensive Player of the Week last week in the conference.
Polite completed 29 of 53 passes for 393 yards and three TDs and added 21 yards and one TD rushing against Tyler.
Polite has thrown for 2,429 yards with 21 touchdowns to only eight interceptions in eight games this season.
The receiving core of Tata Green, Jarvis Baxter and Franky Okafor continue to led the conference in receptions as they are No. 1, 3 and 4 respectively.
Green has 54 receptions with four touchdowns this season for the Cardinals.
Defensively, the Cardinals are led by Josh Pickett — who is currently fifth in the conference with 70 tackles in seven games this season.
Two players that could cause havoc for the SE Prep quarterback is Jhaustin Thomas with 9.5 sacks and Duval Jackson — who is second in the conference with eight sacks.
Notes: Per Southwest Junior College football conference rules, all playoff games will begin at 3 p.m. The Cardinals will have home field advantage throughout the playoffs. The last three playoffs spot will be decided between four teams on Saturday. ... The game against SE Prep will be aired on KCKL radio, with pre-game scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m.

Half of the job losses will occur in Sweden.
Husqvarna plans to cut about 600 jobs in a move that will save 220 million kronor ($33 million) a year by 2014.
"The proposed measures aim to improve efficiency, reduce the fixed cost base and further increase flexibility," Chief Executive Officer Hans Linnarson said in a statement.
Almost half the job losses will come in Sweden, mainly in Huskvarna, where the company is based, it said. The cuts will be carried out during the first six months of next year after negotiations with unions. The cuts will cost about 250 million kronor to implement, which will be charged to fourth-quarter operating income, the company said.

They promised to settle all my accounts for less than 50% of my balance and I ended up paying more on my Capital One. I only owed 590 and I ended up paying 597 with the threat of litigation if I did not settle. They promise to help but all they do is charge you a ridiculous amount of money and you really do not even save CLOSE to 50%. I did settle 3 of my accounts but they were smaller. My largest account I owed 6000 and I had to settle with 3400, with the fee Credit Solutions charges I might have saved 1000, really not worth the hassle. So yea it SOMEWHAT helps but they just want your money and half the time you have to stay on their butt about getting settlements.

Its better than paying everything you owed even though you agreed to terms that you would pay back everything. Not all your creditors are obligated to settle, which is probably why you paid Capital One everything.
Posted by Starlord on 2010-05-27:
You are laboring under the delusion that Credit Solutions made a promise to you to save you at least fifty percent of legally owed debt. They can make no such promise. Just as schools used to offer placement upon gradutation from their courses. The FTC made them stop, as they cannot promise you a job. They can help you in many ways, like helping you write a good resume, tips on how to dress and comport yourself in interviews, etc, but they cannot promise you a job. Credit Solutions can promise to do what they can to help you clean up your credit, but every case is unique. As the people on Operation Repo say, "It ain't no joke, if you don't pay that note."

A debt settlement company shouldn't even be contracting to settle a debt that is only $590. Where is there really any room to move, plus then they add fees to do it, so what's the point.
If one is going to look at trying to settle out debts, I would say do it with an attorney. Many now have gotten into the field and i doubt many would ever take on small questionable accounts like that. Debt negotiations really only work well for those who have big time 5 figure debt problems.

Hear the one about the Englishmen, playing in Wales, who've been picked by the Irish to play Scotland? The Easterby brothers hope Saturday will be no laughing matter as they both join the Irish senior squad for the first time. And both flanker Simon and older brother scrum half Guy have acknowledged the importance of Welsh club rugby in their success. Both born in Harrogate and educated at Ampleford College they have had a varied rugby background with Simon joining Llanelli this season from Leeds. "I moved because I wanted to be part of their ambitions and playing style," he said from the Irish team's headquarters in the Wicklow Mountains. "The way Llanelli play suits me and the fact we have done well in the Heineken Cup has helped me get this far. Gareth Jenkins has been superb in helping me develop and there are a lot of quality players in the side who have helped give me this chance." Brother Guy who has played for Harrogate and for London Scottish before their demise last season is now in the unusual position of vying for a club place at Ebbw Vale with Wales reserve scrum half Richard Smith. "Don't start talking about the possibility of us playing against each other when Ireland play Wales in April," said Guy, "It's a bit early for that yet. A lot could happen in the meantime. But the club's success has given my career the push it needed." Both were impressive in a historic Ireland 'A' win over England on the eve of the Twickenham test and are among 10 new faces in the Ireland 22 for Saturday. Should Guy come on they will be the first set of brothers to play for Ireland since Paul and Richard Wallace lined out against England in 1998. It would also mean that Ireland will join a far from exclusive club this season, with five of the six nations fielding sets of brothers either in the World Cup or Six Nations, the exception being England.

Funerals Begin In Newtown, Investigation Continues
Originally published on Mon December 17, 2012 3:10 pm
Six-year-olds Jack Pinto and Noah Pozner — two of the 20 first-graders killed Friday when a gunman stormed Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. — are to be remembered at funeral services this afternoon.
Jack loved sports and was said to be a big fan of New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz, who wrote the boy's name on the cleats — along with the words "My Hero" — he wore Sunday.
Noah was "smart as a whip" and "just a really lively, smart kid," according to an uncle, Alexis Haller.
The Hartford Courant reports that the boys' memorial services will be the first for the children and six adults killed at the school. Other funerals will be held throughout the week. (Update at 3 p.m. ET: We've posted some details of the boys' funerals here. Our original post continues below.)
Meanwhile, the investigation continues into the murders and the young man who authorities say brought a high-powered rifle, two handguns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition into the school — and then began killing the children and adults who tried to protect the youngsters, before taking his own life. Before the rampage at the school, authorities say, 20-year-old Adam Lanza also killed his mother Nancy at their home in Newtown.
The Associated Press writes this morning that people in Newtown who knew the mother, say Nancy Lanza spoke little about her home life. But, says the AP, "the divorced mother of two ... was always glad to share talk of her beloved Red Sox, gardening and a growing enthusiasm for target shooting."
We're expecting to learn more this morning from a news briefing Connecticut State Police plan to hold in Newtown. We'll also watch for other stories throughout the day about an event that President Obama says should be a wake-up call telling Americans that "we can do better than this." And, that "if there's even one step we can take" to prevent other such tragedies, it needs to be taken.
On Morning Edition, NPR's Quil Lawrence summed up what's known so far. State Police, Quil reported, say they have collected a great deal of evidence and that some of it "suggests a motive, which in the coming days will be made public."
Also on Morning Edition, NPR's Scott Horsley reported on the president's address at Sunday evening's memorial service for victims. And, Brigid Bergin of WNYC profiled a teacher who lives in Newtown near the Sandy Hook school, and how it's not going to be easy for him to talk with his students in nearby Fairfield about what happened.

To the River: A Journey Beneath The Surface, By Olivia Laing
I am haunted by waters", Olivia Laing tells us, as in this book she joins the best nature writers, becoming part of the revival begun by Richard Mabey. With it comes an inclination towards rhetorical ornament that can become self-consciously obtrusive. But not here. Laing is a brilliant wordsmith and this is a beautifully accomplished book. It recounts a walk she made, in the course of one week, tracing the path of the River Ouse in Sussex. The catalyst was a "minor crisis". The loss of job and boyfriend in quick succession proved an immediate stimulus. But this walk also engaged the depths of what she knew, and preparation for it must have begun in childhood.
Laing is a superb naturalist. She can describe the architecture and ornamentation of pollen. She looks so sharply at wheat and at other things around her that at one point she travels no more than a few yards in one hour. She shares in the pleasures and irritations of a solitary walker, kicking her backpack irritably when a path takes her astray.
But like that great anatomist of melancholy, WG Sebald, she also allows the journey to trigger historical, literary and mythological reflections. Take the view over the meadows from Lewes Castle. This brings to mind the soldiers and horses who drowned as they fled during Simon de Montfort's challenge to Henry III at the Battle of Lewes in 1264. Here, too, tellingly encapsulated, is the tragic story of Kenneth Grahame's son, for whom The Wind in the Willows was written.
Laing's discursiveness is always entwined with her obsessive hydrophilia. But it is inevitable that the Ouse should be associated with the Woolfs: here Virginia committed suicide, as Leonard realised the moment he saw her stick lying on its bank. But none of Virginia Woolf's biographers has identified, as Laing does here, the watery start to their partnership.
"They went on a date to the Titanic inquest," she reminds us, also throwing in the first kiss by the English Channel and a boat trip up the Thames to Maidenhead. Wackily erudite on any subject she cares to make her own, Laing is equally canny on fossil hunting, and how it changed our view of the world, as she is on the strange machinations behind the Piltdown forgery.
"Water is sly; make no bones about it," she warns. There follows an absorbing account of the engineering involved, down the centuries, in the reclamation of marshes. It is preceded by a passage on floods, beginning with the biblical flood, taking in the St Elizabeth flood of 1422 and ending with that which severely damaged Lewes in 2009. "There's something about a flood, something mythic and disturbing, that gets to the heart of uncertainties about our place in the earth at all."
This note of ontological enquiry deepens as the book progresses. "How strangely we spend our lives," she remarks, after analysing the architecture of Hades, with the help of a map that will be familiar to readers of Dorothy Sayers's Penguin translation of Dante. Heaven, too, is reviewed, from various perspectives, while she also keeps Ithaca, Odysseus's destination, in mind. But it is finally the land that Laing loves best, that which is "planate with water, their histories conjoined", in which she places her faith. Sharing Woolf's observation of the Ouse valley – "this has holiness. This will go on after I am dead" – she finally rattles home in the train to Brighton.

Seemingly human in stature and characterization, the network executive is unusual in the sense that its brain is seated firmly in its tushie region. As this area of the executive's body gets the least amount of blood during an average day this leads to some very strange programming decisions. Thus, the reason that viewers were entertained by Cop Rock, Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire? and that sitcom that starred Emeril.
This lack of blood also causes memory loss. At least, that's what I believe it does because it's the only way I could think of that NBC would hire Ben Silverman to co-chair the entertainment division. Or, rather, hire another man named Silverman to help program their primetime schedule. For, if their memories were working properly, they would have realized that another man with the last name of Silverman came to the NBC 30 years ago and proceeded to muck everything up as well.

Oral history interview with Igal Roodenko, April 11, 1974 interview B-0010, Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007)
by Igal Roodenko
1 edition published in 2007 in English and held by 18 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Igal Roodenko was born to first-generation immigrants in New York City in 1917. Throughout the 1930s, Roodenko was drawn to leftist politics and pacifism. He describes the internal dilemma that he and other pacifists faced as they sought to reconcile their ideals of non-violence with their belief that Hitler's regime warranted opposition. Ultimately, Roodenko became a conscientious objector during the conflict. Rather than facing a prison sentence for his refusal to bear arms, Roodenko spent most of World War II in a camp for conscientious objectors. Increasingly involved in leftist politics during the war, Roodenko participated in hunger strikes while at the camp and eventually did serve time in prison. Following the war, he utilized his experiences with peace groups and Ghandian non-violence to become a leader in the burgeoning civil rights movement. Roodenko speaks at length about his participation in the Journey of Reconciliation (1947). Already a member of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), Roodenko helped to organize the Journey, an interracial endeavor to test the Supreme Court's ruling in the Irene Morgan case (1946) as it applied to public transportation in the South. Roodenko describes the strategies CORE employed as they tested segregation policies on buses for Trailways and Greyhound. In Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Roodenko and fellow activists were arrested for refusing to abide by the bus driver's demand that black and white passengers not sit together. He recalls the threat of mob violence against the activists and the role of Chapel Hill minister Charles Jones in helping them escape town safely. Roodenko and the other CORE activists lost their court appeal and he spent 30 days working on a segregated chain gang in North Carolina. His recollections in this interview help to illuminate activist strategies, interracial cooperation, and reasons for limited success as the civil rights movement began to build momentum in the late 1940s
Oral history interview with Septima Poinsette Clark, July 25, 1976 interview G-0016, Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007)
by Septima Poinsette Clark
1 edition published in 2006 in English and held by 17 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Septima Clark was a teacher and citizen's education director for the Highlander Folk School and Southern Christian Leadership Conference. She also worked with the South Carolina Council on Human Relations, YWCA, and American Friends Service Committee. This interview covers her childhood in Charleston, SC, and her family's efforts to survive poverty and racial prejudice. Her mother was a washerwoman reared in Haiti, and her father was a former slave on the Poinsett plantation. Her first job as a teacher on John's Island (1916-19) led to her early activism with the NAACP, her friendship with Judge and Mrs. Waring, and her work with the Charleston YWCA. She married Nerie David Clark as an act of rebellion against her parents, but she chose not to remarry after his early death. She attended college in Columbia, returned to Charleston in 1947, and lobbied for the first local credit union to serve black workers. After she lost her teaching position in 1956 due to her NAACP membership, she worked for the Highlander Folk School encouraging voter registration and education. The SCLC hired her to form education programs, but her plans for increasing community involvement, protecting the labor rights of black teachers, and educating black voters were often ignored because she was female. The interview ends with her thoughts on why she started receiving more recognition for her work in the mid-1970s
Oral history interview with Josephine Wilkins, 1972 interview G-0063, Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007)
by Josephine Mathewson Wilkins
1 edition published in 2006 in English and held by 17 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Josephine Wilkins was born in Athens, Georgia, in 1893. Raised in a religious family, Wilkins began to challenge authority at a young age. She was educated at the Lucy Cobb Institute in Athens before being sent to "finishing school." In the mid-1920s, after finishing her degree at the University of Georgia, she went to New York City to study art at the New York School of Fine and Applied Arts. While there she took a course in social science at Columbia University and decided to work more closely with people. In 1925, she moved back to Athens, Georgia, to work for the Georgia Children's Code Commission and worked on passing child labor laws. Around this time, Wilkins became increasingly involved in the League of Women's Voters and, by 1934, she had been elected as the organization's state president. In 1937, Wilkins received a grant from the Rosenwald Foundation, which she used to start the Citizen's Fact Finding Movement (1937-1940) in order to promote awareness of issues pertinent to Georgia and its relationship to the South in general. In addition to describing her involvement in the League of Women's Voters and the Citizen's Fact Finding Movement, Wilkins describes her perception of and involvement in the Southern Conference for Human Welfare, founded in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1938. According to Wilkins, the Southern Conference sparked concern among government officials for its leftist leanings. Wilkins explains how communism was certainly a present, if not predominant, thread in the Southern Conference until the rise of McCarthyism in the early 1950s. Wilkins also discusses her friendship with Jessie Daniel Ames and Ames's anti-lynching organization, the Commission of Interracial Cooperation which disintegrated and was succeeded by the Southern Regional Council in 1944. She remained involved on the executive board of the SRC until her death in 1977
Oral history interview with Arthur Raper, January 30, 1974 interview B-0009-2, Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007)
by Arthur Franklin Raper
1 edition published in 2007 in English and held by 17 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Arthur Raper was a noted Southern sociologist and civil rights activist. During the late 1920s and 1930s, Raper served as the research director for the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, based in Atlanta, Georgia. Focusing primarily on those years in this interview, Raper speaks at length about his interactions with Jessie Daniel Ames and the role of the Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching within the Commission's broader program. Describing the ASWPL as a relatively small, independent branch of the Commission, Raper argues that Ames was both an effective and contentious leader. He describes her as an "excessive feminist" in this interview, explaining that she advocated for the importance and necessity of separate women's groups in dealing with social problems such as lynching. While Raper indicates that this stance was beneficial in allowing Ames to garner support for her declaration that white southerners ought not to use racist violence to "protect" white southern womanhood, he also suggests repeatedly that Ames' outspoken nature and ambition generated tensions between her and the male leaders of the Commission, including executive director Will Alexander and director of education Robert Eleazer. Raper cites only one instance in which he came into conflict with Ames: he argues that she sought to sabotage his testimony during the Senate hearings on the Wagner-Van Nuys federal anti-lynching bill because the bill did not reflect her views on how to best combat lynching. Raper concludes by discussing the contributing role of the ASWPL in the declining number of lynchings during the 1930s, and the exclusion of African American women from the organization. Researchers might find particularly interesting the ways in which Raper's assessment of both the negative and positive aspects of Jessie Daniel Ames reveal the underlying tensions and assumptions that characterized the challenges women faced in public roles during that era
Oral history interview with Guy B. Johnson, December 16, 1974 interview B-0006. Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007)
by Guy Benton Johnson
1 edition published in 2007 in English and held by 17 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Dr. Guy Johnson was a UNC professor of sociology, an author, and the first executive director of the Southern Regional Council. This interview focuses on his work with that organization and with the North Carolina Committee for Interracial Cooperation in the 1920s and 1930s. Johnson also promoted the education of blacks in the 1920s with Dr. N.C. Newbold, and he discusses other colleagues in that endeavor. Johnson describes the annual meetings of the Interracial Commission and the role of women and church groups in the organization, especially Gertrude Weil, Mrs. W. H. Newell and Charlotte Hawkins Brown. Johnson's growing dissatisfaction with the Interracial Commission led him to accept the leading role in the Southern Regional Council (SRC) in 1943. He describes the forced resignation of one of its key members, Mrs. Jessie Daniel Ames, and some of the work she did in the early days of the SRC. As the new director, Johnson dealt with the difficulties in staffing and financing the SRC. He also witnessed controversy among the people with board membership in the SRC and the Committee on Interracial Cooperation. The issue of segregation proved highly contentious for the SRC, leading to disagreements among black and white members. Among the activities of the SRC during the first year were attempts at mass membership and the creation of publications. These activities also fueled conflicts between the SRC and the Southern Conference for Human Welfare, a more radical organization. The interview concludes with Johnson's analysis of the influence of foreign politics in the Southern Conference and the attempts of the SRC to emphasize and deal with post-war economic problems of the South as well as the racial issue. His wife, historian Dr. Guion Johnson, also contributed to this interview
Oral history interview with Gladys and Glenn Hollar, February 26, 1980 interview H-0128, Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007)
by Gladys Irene Moser Hollar
1 edition published in 2007 in English and held by 16 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Gladys Irene Moser Hollar and her husband, Glenn Hollar, describe their childhood in rural North Carolina and their working lives in the glove industry and elsewhere. The Hollars grew up in large families in which everyone had to contribute to eke out a living. As a married couple, the Hollars spent most of their lives near Conover, NC, moving from job to job and weathering the 1918 influenza epidemic, the Great Depression, and hostile supervisors before reaching retirement. In this interview, the couple shares recollections about laboring and rural life in the early 20th century. While they share some details about their lives, this interview is not particularly rich in reflection
Oral history interview with Kathryn Killian and Blanche Bolick, December 12, 1979 interview H-0131, Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007)
by Kathryn Killian
1 edition published in 2007 in English and held by 16 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Kathryn Killian and her sister Blanche Bolick recall their upbringing near Conover, NC, and their careers making gloves. They fondly remember the distant world of their childhood, rich in family bonds and community connection. They are less nostalgic for their working lives, however. Killian is the more talkative of the pair, eager to share her dislike for factory work. Her work arrangement was an unusual one: after the death of her husband, who was crushed by a tree, her employer, also her brother-in-law, set up a glove-making machine in her home, making her both a stay-at-home mom and a working mother. This interview offers a useful look at the working lives of women in the early 20th-century South
Oral history interview with Guion Griffis Johnson, August 19, 1974 interview G-0029-1, Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007)
by Guion Griffis Johnson
1 edition published in 2006 in English and held by 16 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Guion Griffis Johnson was among the first generation of female professional historians and a pioneer of social history. Her book Ante-Bellum North Carolina provides a comprehensive study of how people maintained and sometimes traversed social divisions in this state. For this interview, she discusses the work she did for Dr. Howard Odum of the University of North Carolina Department of Sociology from 1923 until 1934. She lists the community activities she participated in during and after this period. While her husband, Guy Johnson, taught for the Institute for Research in Social Science, she copy edited issues of the Social Forces journal, researched projects on St. Helena's Island and antebellum North Carolina, and worked toward a Ph.D. in sociology. When the workload became too cumbersome and tedious, she transferred to the history department to finish her Ph.D. She lost her job with the Institute in 1930 when the University cut costs by laying off married female academics. The interview ends with her description of how she continued to work without receiving wages before going back to Baylor College as a professor
Oral history interview with Eula McGill, February 3, 1976 interview G-0040-1, Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007)
by Eula McGill
1 edition published in 2006 in English and held by 16 WorldCat member libraries worldwide This is the first part of a two-part interview with union activist Eula McGill. McGill describes what it was like to grow up in various mill towns in Georgia and Alabama during the early twentieth century. Born in Resaca, Georgia, in 1911, McGill grew up in Sugar Valley, Georgia, where her father worked in the Gulf State steel mill. McGill describes her childhood and early education in this mill town, focusing on her early awareness of union activism in the town. At the age of 14, McGill had to leave school because of her family's economic hardships; she found work in a textile mill as a spinner in the Dwight textile mills. During her teen years, McGill continued to work in textile mills, during which time she briefly married and gave birth to a son. Because she had to work, McGill's parents became the primary caregivers for her child. In the late 1920s, McGill moved to Birmingham, Alabama, where she briefly worked at the candy counter at Kress's department store. Shortly thereafter, McGill migrated to Selma, Alabama, where she returned to the textiles industry as a spinner at Selma Manufacturing. McGill describes working during the early years of the Depression, when it became increasingly difficult to make ends meet. During the early 1930s, McGill became involved in labor activism and helped to organize a local union and general strike in 1934. Following that, she moved up in the ranks of the labor movement as a labor organizer. She emphasizes her work with the Women's Trade Union League and the Amalgamated Clothing Workers' Union. In addition, she explains some of the obstacles that the labor movement faced in the South and what it was like to be a single woman who worked as a labor organizer
Oral history interview with Clark Foreman, November 16, 1974 interview B-0003, Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007)
by Clark Foreman
1 edition published in 2006 in English and held by 16 WorldCat member libraries worldwide This interview covers three separate conversations with Clark Foreman regarding his career in race relations, public service, and politics. His childhood in Georgia and his travels in Europe led to his work for the Commission on Interracial Cooperation in Atlanta with Will Alexander. His enduring reputation as a radical and rumored communist began during his tenure with the Phelps-Stokes and Julius Rosenwald Funds. He acted out his growing commitment to integration and political equality while supervising New Deal projects for the Department of the Interior, the state parks, the interdepartmental committee on Negro affairs, and the power division of the Public Works Authority. This interview also addresses his attempts to provide more public housing for African Americans, and his opinion of leadership styles within the Interracial Commission and the Southern Conference for Human Welfare. He explains why the Southern Conference needed to endorse the Henry Wallace 1948 campaign, even though it was unsuccessful. He also compares the contributions of socialists and communists to the Southern Conference at state and national levels. Foreman lost jobs over false reports that he endorsed communism or was too aggressive in his work. The interview concludes with comments by Clark and Mairi Foreman about his work with Black Mountain College, the Navy, and the National Citizens PAC, especially focusing on how his children developed radical views during those years
Oral history interview with George F. Dugger, Sr., August 9, 1979 interview H-0312, Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007)
by George F Dugger
1 edition published in 2007 in English and held by 16 WorldCat member libraries worldwide George F. Dugger, Sr., had practiced law in Elizabethton, TN, for fifty-five years at the time of this interview. After detailing his family history, he describes his involvement in the dispute over unionization at the Elizabethton rayon plant. As the plant's lawyer, he worked both for and against unionization. In 1936, he helped smooth unionization at the plant, protecting a union leader's identity. But during a 1929 strike he worked with mill management to return strikers to their jobs. Most of this interview focuses on that strike, which turned violent as strikers attacked Dugger, the police attacked strikers, and Elizabethton citizens assaulted at least one union leader. This interview provides a useful, if sometimes difficult to interpret, account of the 1929 Elizabethton rayon plant strike and will be of interest to any researcher concerned with this incident. Dugger has a remarkable family history. Researchers interested in learning about five generations of the Dugger family, stretching back 239 years, should read the first few pages of this interview
Oral history interview with Ruth Vick, 1973 interview B-0057, Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007)
by Ruth Vick
1 edition published in 2007 in English and held by 16 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Ruth Vick joined the Southern Regional Council (SRC) in the 1940s, becoming its only black employee at the time, and rising through the ranks to become a board member at the time of the interview. In her lengthy conversation with two interviewers, Vick discusses decades of SRC history, describing its leadership, organizational details, internal politics, and the SRC's place in the growing civil rights movement. The SRC supported the direct action civil rights movement that emerged in force in the 1950s and 1960s but chose study over sit-ins as a means of change. Vick devotes a great deal of time to discussing the role of African Americans within the organization. The SRC was not immune to the pervasive racism of the segregated South, and African Americans struggled for recognition and equal treatment within the organization. This interview will be most useful to researchers interested in some of the organizational details of the Southern Regional Council
Oral history interview with Modjeska Simkins, July 28, 1976 interview G-0056-2, Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007)
by Modjeska Monteith Simkins
1 edition published in 2007 in English and held by 16 WorldCat member libraries worldwide This is the second interview in a series of two with Modjeska Simkins, an African American activist from South Carolina. In the first interview (G-0056-1), Simkins briefly described her family background, her childhood, and spoke about her work with the South Carolina Interracial Commission, primarily during the 1920s and 1930s. Here, she elaborates on her family background and upbringing before describing in great detail her work with the NAACP and the Richland County Citizens' Committee. Simkins begins by describing her childhood, spent primarily in Columbia, South Carolina, although there were times when her father's reputation as an accomplished bricklayer led them to other areas in the South, including Huntsville, Alabama. Simkins explains that her family was prosperous, and she emphasizes that her parents imbued her with a sense of responsibility to help those less advantaged. Simkins attended Benedict College for her primary through post-secondary education. Following her graduation with a bachelor's degree in 1921, Simkins taught at Benedict for a year before accepting a position teaching at Booker Washington High School in Columbia. She taught at Booker until 1929. Over the course of the 1920s, Simkins became more involved in social causes, primarily via her membership in the South Carolina Commission on Interracial Cooperation and the NAACP. She continued this work into the 1930s, during which time she was employed by the South Carolina Tuberculosis Association. Until 1942, Simkins worked for the TB Association, helping to educate people about health-related issues. Increasingly, however, Simkins lamented not being able to focus more explicitly on what she saw as more pressing issues for African Americans. In 1942, she took a position with the NAACP and served as the state secretary until 1956. Simkins describes in detail her role in the NAACP's shift towards direct legal action in taking on school segregation. In addition, she describes how she helped to organize a boycott in Orangeburg County around 1956 following the Brown decision and a white backlash against it in that community. Despite her support for the NAACP's legal work, however, Simkins was becoming alienated from the NAACP by the mid-1950s. She left the NAACP to become the public relations director for the Richland County Citizens' Committee. At the time of the interview, Simkins was still serving in this capacity. She spends the final portion of the interview describing her work with the Richland County Citizens' Committee, focusing on their involvement in state politics, their role in efforts to desegregate the Palmetto State Hospital in 1965, and with the integration of Columbia public schools. Throughout the interview, Simkins offers telling anecdotes about the nature of racial tensions and its consequences, the inner workings of civil rights organizations like the NAACP and the Richland County Citizens' Committee, and relationships between leaders of the movement and their related organizations
Oral history interview with Arthur Little, December 14, 1979 interview H-0132, Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007)
by Arthur Little
1 edition published in 2007 in English and held by 16 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Milk delivery boy Arthur Little hated getting up early to deliver milk and dreamed of owning a glove factory instead. In this interview he describes realizing that dream and details the glove-making industry in Newton, NC. Most of this interview focuses on Little's life as a factory owner and his observations about work in his mill. He describes a relatively unchanging industry, where work methods and the young, mostly female workforce have evolved little over the course of decades. Little disapproves of unions and government spending, which may reflect his struggles during the Great Depression and his hard-earned financial success. He sees the role of the Ku Klux Klan in the aftermath of the Civil War positively, however--a view that perhaps reflects the beliefs of many of his generation in the rural South. This interview will offer researchers a useful top-down look at the glove-making industry in North Carolina more
