1950

During the height of the "Red Scare," city employees were pressed to declare loyalty oaths against communism. Another photo in this series has councilman Paul Brown signing the oath. According to the October 15, 1950, Burbank Daily Review "Councilmen Do It--Even though he is in St. Joseph Hospital on doctor's orders to take a rest, Burbank City Councilman Paul Brown volunteered to sign immediately the loyalty oath now requested by city employees. Mrs. Addie Jones, city clerk, witnessed the bedside signature."
