W. C. Handy, Remembering
Leaner Years, Gives White
Song Writer A "Break"
HENDERSON, Ky.— (ANP)—
W. C. Handy is not only the
"father of the blues,” but is “fath
ering” many a struggling musi
cian with whom the fates have
not dealt too kindly. In keeping
with the tradition that music is
color blind, Handy has come to
the rescue of a white cripple, a
man who is nearly blind and who
has been bedridden with arthritis
for 13 years.
During the long years that
Hugh Edward Sandefur lay on his
#bed, songs have been forming in
his mind. Local friends in Hen
derson who believed in his tal
ents, constantly encouraged him
in his efforts but sought in vain
for a publisher for his creations.
But now, thanks to the under
standing of a Negro who came up
the hard way, Sandefur has been
taken out of the amateur class
and introduced into professional
circles.
Handy Brothers Music company
of New York has published two
numbers by Sandefur, “Stars Hide
Their Faces’ ’and “Heaven Sent
You.”
Henderson has special memor
ies for Handy. He well remem
bers the day in 1894 when he
landed there on a freight train
with empty pockets. “Here,” says
Handy, “I had my change . . from
hobo to professional musician.”
Some forget the struggle when
they breath the refined air of suc
cess, but Handy continues to be
generous in his encouragement of
fellow musicians.

Duties of the Slave
The slave’s work began early
each morning. On some planta
tions breakfast was prepared in
the slaves cabins. On other plan
tations breakfast was then taken
to the workers in the field after
they had begun their tasks.
The majority of the Negro
slaves were field hands on the
planations. On some plantations
the master gave each slave a cer
tain amount of work to do each
day. The slave was permitted to
stop working when he had finish
ed his daily tasks. The children
helped the adult slaves. At night
and on Sunday the slaves worked
for themselves. Some of them
worked in their vegetable gard
ens. A few slaves were able to
earn money, and saved enough to
buy their freedom.
In the winter the slaves were
kept busy repairing and building.
They mended the broken rail
fences. They repaired the cabins
and storehouses. They went in
/he woods and cut logs for the
buze fireplaces. They mended
the harnesses. They learned to be
carpenters, masons, wheelwrights,
coopers, blacksmiths, sailors,
typesetters, movie engineers,
mechanics, jewelers, and silver
smiths. Some slave Mechanics
could not only build but also
draws plans, make contracts and
complete a house.
Some women learned to spin,
weave and sew. They were cooks,
maids, dairy maids, and laund
resses. Some of them became
good nurses.
The slaves were not only taught
how to work; some few masters
and mistress taught their slaves
how to read and write.
