FIRE COMPAl'lY BULLETIN Ye Olde Fire Corrpany is still trying to keep up the good work, but at times finds it an up-hill proposition with so many of you fellows in the Services, To overcome this handicap, vje have taken into meiiibership Junior Firemen, who when you boys were around were about 13 or 14 yrs, old, but, who now have passed 16. These boys, Bob Myers, Joe Uright, Mason Hilton, Fred Bunting, Bob Rovre, Bob Hornberger, Harry Wilkey, and Junior Reedy, do aswell job under the leadership of older fire¬ fighters. The thirty-three Salvage Coromittees of Lancaster County, most of which are sponsored- by Fire CoriipaniQS..D.£,the county, were each awarded acitation of merit on July 10th by the State Salvage Committee for outstanding salvage collections in the past two years. Lancaster County, with Earl Rebman as Chairman, has far ex¬ ceeded its quota in every drive to date, and was the first in the county to receive recognition for its efforts in collecting scrap. The uniforms of the Drum and Bugle Corps are ’itching’ to be worn, and we are counting upon alarge supply of drill masters to be available when Victory is ours. On July 15th we placed thirty-six red roses in front of the Honor Roll in memory of Ross Benner who gave his life ayear ago in order that we might enjoy the peace and freedom of home-tovms like Christiana, The Carnival season is on...and what asuccessl O u r r e c e i p t s for the first four nights total $4900 and if the vraathcr favors us on the nights of July 21 and 22, will pay off the #3200 note at the, bank, which represents the final payment on the Autocori Engine, VJho is doing the work at the stands?.

  • 1919, the Year of Racial Violence: How African Americans Fought Back
    7 “It Is My Only Protection” Federal and State Efforts to Disarm African Americans On July 31, 1919, Major Walter H. Loving of the army’s Military Intelli- gence Division (MID) went to 135th Street and Lenox Avenue in Harlem to watch people buy newspapers at the corner’s four newsstands. Wash- ington’s riot had ended ten days earlier, while Chicago’s still raged, and Loving wanted to know how closely New Yorkers were following the events. What he saw greatly impressed him. Eager readers snapped up new editions as soon as they arrived, thousands of copies selling within ten minutes. “People, white and black, actually scramble to get these papers,” he marveled, and the “bigger and more sensational the head- lines, the quicker the paper is sold.” Loving worried that New York was on the brink of its own race riot. “Never before have the Negroes of Harlem been so worked up over anything as they are at present over the recent race riot in Washington and the present one in Chicago,” he remarked ominously.1 Loving was not exaggerating New York’s racial tensions. Late on the night of July 19, an argument between two men – one black, the other white – almost led to a riot in Harlem. According to the New York Times, when the white man disputed something the black man said, the latter drew a handgun and fired five shots, wounding two bystanders. By the time a police captain and fifteen officers arrived, “several thousand excited negroes” had filled 127th Street between Second and Third Avenues.

  • Materializing Modernity
    CREATING MEXICAN CONSUMER CULTURE IN THE AGE OF PORFIRIO DÍAZ, 1876-1911 by STEVEN BLAIR BUNKER Bachelor of Arts, 1992 University of British Columbia Vancouver, British Columbia Master of Arts, 1995 University of British Columbia Vancouver, British Columbia Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of AddRan College of Humanities and Social Sciences Texas Christian University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May, 2006 Copyright by Steven Blair Bunker 2006 Acknowledgements The support of mentors, institutions, friends, and most of all, family, made this dissertation possible. First I’d like to express my gratitude to my mentors at Texas Christian University and the University of British Columbia: Dr. William H. Beezley for his persistent recruiting effort, his sage advice, his funding generosity, and for graciously agreeing to direct my committee from afar; Dr. William E. French for first interesting me in Latin American history and then overseeing my first two degrees; and Dr. Susan Ramirez for ensuring the completion of my dissertation with her timely support and counsel. TCU faculty helped immensely, from the editorial knives and conceptual assistance of Dr. Claire Sanders and Dr. Sara Sohmer on my earlier chapters to the constant support of Department Chair Ken Stevens and his wife, Nancy, and the guidance of outstanding committee members Dr. Don Coerver, Dr. Mark Gilderhus, and Dr. Arturo Flores. Dr. William B. Taylor at UC-Berkeley not only taught an excellent course on the Colonial Church and Society but offered a professional and personal friendship for which I am most grateful. Scholars such as Jürgen Buchenau at UNC-Charlotte and Glen Kuecker at DePauw University sharpened my thoughts on consumption.
