VOICE OF the LEGION

Are we developing segment OF
our group into professional soldiers of
fortune?
We do not know exactly how many
Negroes were recruited in America
for the loyalist forces, for the very
reason that such things are kept con-
cealed as much as possible, but we
do know that there is far greater
number than the man in the street
would imagine. From time to time,
news has filtered through of these
men who believe, and no one can
wholly deny, that they are carrying
on for the same purpose which led
so many of them on their initial adj
venture, the World war, "to make the
world safe for democracy" That
they have been credit to themselves
and their race in the field, is best
Judged by the meager reports OF
their heroism that are received.
One cannot help but marvel at the
development of a political philosophy
so high, that it makes these men not
only leave their homes and loved ones
for a horror they have previously
undergone, but to take up such serv-
ice in country with whom our ma
ton has not the remotest alliance,
proves that we as race are reach
ing higher level of Idealism along
with our more tangible progress.
Nor is this feeling confined to men
alone; we have made a contribution
in the form OF. nurses, which is not
to be ashamed of. Only recently, a
young colored nurse of Harlem was
cited for her efficiency and spirit of
sacrifice in giving aid to the wounded.
While we do not personally feel in
clined toward soldiers of fortune, due
to the liability of international en-

Youth Challenges
Through hayeraft

One of the prominent arguments
against Kenneth C. Haycraft, candi-
date for the office Of mayor, is "the
man is too young and inexperienced"
e wonder sometimes if the makers
o. this statement actually believe that
re is too young for the job. If they
20 then the argument breaks down
of it's own accord. Some weeks ago
we were believing, or about to be-
lieve, that the honorable members of
our highest court were too old; that
their experience was the mother of
a static and ultra-conservative group
of minds; and that their thoughts
and ideals had become callousei with
cage" What shall we do? What
course shall be followed? What doc
trire shall be adhered to? Shall
we choose a middle ground? Let
US seek our answer in the political
order of the day. The president of
this nation will be quite young
man, as compared with his prede-
cessors, when he has finished his sec
ond term. The Governor of Wiscon-
sin was definitely youngster when
elected to that high office, and he
has served we'll that trust. The gov
errors brother who is junior sena-
tor from Wisconsin approXimates the
same age level The late Floyd
Olson was we'll on this side of the
halfway mark. 1t is a fact that he
died young man. So it is, we could
go on and on and pile up fact after
fact to support young mans right
to a place in public life, but let US
bring our ideas little closer home.
What will be our reaction in the
future when we find our own chill
dren struggling to rise above adver-
sity in the economic and social life
of tomorrow? After we have pre-
pared our children for "life" are we
going to stand by and see them
beaten and discouraged because some
one said that they are "quite young ?"
Well, it is not human nature to leave
our young so unprotected.
1t is up to every citizen to create
and perpetuate a rich social heritage
for the youth of today and of to-
morrow; it is youth who must take
up our quarrel with the foe; and we
cannot with IMMUNITY condemn any
practice which has for its aim the
encouragement and exultation of the
young men and women of our land.
Youth makes it's challenge and is
backing Mr.. Haycraft to the limit
as their leader in this battle for
place in the sun.

BORDER BRIEFS"

The Candlelight Communion service
last Sunday evening proved quite i'm
pressive and challenging, and the
members expressed themselves as be-
ing pleased. And, whereas we are
holding evening services only on the
first Sunday, during the summer
months, we will have a special Sun
day evening service Sunday, June
goth, at 7:45 P. NJ, when DR.. B. F.

will be present and preach. Our
senior choir, under the direction Of
Mr.. c. c. Underwood, ST., will render
special music, and to this service the
general public is cordially invited.

selections, and each division of the
Church school will have a special pro-
gram.

Sunday at $50 p. M, offering to the
young people of the Church, and all
others who have no church affilia-
ton, a program of worship, fellow
ship, inspiration, and fun.
Our Church Night programs each
Wednesday evening, at 7:45, offer
the members and friends opportunity
for prayer, praise, fellowship, iDspir-
alton, and instruction in the Holy
Bible and the Discipline of our

children should know that we will
be very pleased to have the children
attend the Daily Vacation Bible

Church, Eleventh and Lyndale ave-
nue. north, beginning Monday, the
14th. See that your children attend
these ten weekdays of religious in

Zion Baptist Notes

Perhaps the GOODNESS of Sunday
morning was responsible for the small
attendance at the early prayer serv-
ice. So we are expecting a large
group the first Sunday in July.
Communion and two sermons whose
themes touched upon the reasons for
the observance of the Lords Supper
provided much spiritual interest for
the day.
The Young People will enjoy an
evening of feast and fun on Friday
when the "Reds," winners of the
"chicken and bean" attendance and
finance contest will be entertained
by the "Blues.' Mr.. Wade and Mr..
Bell were leaders of the "Reds" and
Miss Eunice Riley and Mrs. Vaughn
were "Blue" leaders.
Whether your favorite color is
green, red, yellow or blue, you will
find a pew at the "color rally" on
Sunday afternoon, June goth, at 800
o'clock. The Volunteer club has in
vited all the churches to participate
in this event. Rev. Wilson of Fourth
st. Church of God in Christ will
preach and his choir will sing. Be
present to enjoy wonderful pro-
gram. Mrs. Emma Gates is chairman
of the rally.
The attention of all parents is
called to the fact that daily va
cation Bible school will be conducted
at Zion Church from Monday, June
18th, to Friday, June 25th, a. m.
to noon each day. The Border M. E.
church is cooperating and all chill
dren are welcome.

Although ] am not politician, L
feel that is is my duty both to my
self, and to a man who has proven
his worth to our little community,
the third ward, and to the many Of
us who have felt the need of advice
and assistance from our alderman, to
say that I know that Mr.. Bank is as
loyal as anyone can be, both to his
duty, and to the people he represents.
l know that his record is above
reproach as a councilman, and l also
know that everyone in the Third
Ward who has taken any interest
in such things must agree with me.
When Mr.. Bank was first elected,
he brought hope to a great many
under-privileged people, who had
known the full meaning of suffering.
In the period he has served as
alderman, he has not betrayed that
trust.
l know that the promises he made
to so many of us regarding our per-
sonal affairs have been carried out
as far as humanity possible.
If the many, who by the very ma
ture of their circumstances, have no
voice, were permitted to speak, l
and many others know there would
be many a word of praise said for
this true and sympathetic man who
has taken his responsibilities of office
SO seriously that none can say, 81

-1HE moment when your child tells
you his first lie is painful. Yet sur
prisingly enough the lie itself IS not
j important But the purpose behind
it is important - for lie always serves
very real purpose in a Child's life. There
fore the first thing to do is to discover why
YOUR child has suddenly found lying neCes-
sary. After that it is usually easy to find
substitute.
1t is also essential to remember that
truthfulness is acquired, not inherited 1t
comes from training and experience. Only
in this way can your child, or any child
learn that honesty is the best policy.
The exaggerations, Misrepresentation,
and phantasies and lies told by children
are all efforts to evade responsibility or to
avoid punishment, or to escape from
reality.
Children are very apt to lie in an effort
to cover up their misconduct. This is es-
peciallv true when the punishment Is apt
to be unduly severe. And timld, sensitive
child is more likely to resort to falsehoods
in order to avoid reprimands than cour-
ageous youngster is. So your discipline
should always be planned with due regard
for the personality of the offender. Never
should it be 50 rigid or severe that lying is
practically forced upon child as method
of escape.
Then there are sometimes the tasks that
children do not want to do. Perhaps they
try to lie their way out. Unfortunately
they have often learned from their own
parents that it is easy to escape from an
unpleasant task by telling a white lie.
They realize that mothers headache is
