THINKS OPPORTUNITIES ARE
NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY

Editor:
On the 18th of Sept. one year
ago, was married to a progressive
bachelor, Mr.. Martin Brown, of
your city. After a lovely trip
through the East and to our ma
TONS capitol, I arrived in your city
with my husband one year ago to-
day. I am happy to say that I have
experienced many happy moments
during my first year as resident
in this beautiful Northwestern
commonwealth.
I am beginning to get acquainted
with the people and the customs of
your community. / am also happy
to say that I have observed that
there are many social and church
organizations in the community
and that some of these organiza-
tons appear to be making some
progress. On the other hand I OBJ
served some of them seem merely
to be marking time.
While it is not matter of inn
portance, but the author is for
mer resident of the southwest's
most cosmopolitan and leading
city, st. Louis. 1t is also needless
for me to make mention of the fact
that in this beautiful city are to be
found some of the most progressive
religious institutions comprised of
our people in America. Notwith-
standing the opportunity offered to
the members of my race in Mime
sofa is somewhat better as per-
tanning to educational and political
matters. It appears to this writer
that so many of these worth while
opportunities are never taken Sc
riously by the majority of our peo-
pie.
I am deeply interested in all mat
tiers and things pertaining to the
social and religious and educational
progress of my people.

today as it did the conditions it
sought to alleviate.
We cannot be sure that six years
hence it will not still be pertinent.
If there was need then to counsel
patience and understanding, a need
for a fortnight determination to
make the best of things as they
were, to girdle with courage our
wavering hope, there is even more
reason now and for the future to
keep our view unclouded and to
study with even greater intensity

Poetic Thoughts
Safety First
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.

Safety first is the proper of precaution
That as individuals should hold a nation,
To preserve ideals and integrity right here,
Is playing safe by keeping heads clear.
Safety first in how drive
Is very essential if we want to keep alive
For speed or lack of caution only sends
Us to the hospital in Jail ends
Safety first in playing the game square,
Without any buster undue flair,
For folks will see just how it's done,
And if it's not right there's need to run.
Safety first is the only way to live ...
Do your work right your employer can give
You chance to progress, with security yours,
By protecting what you have and opening old sores
In these times of strife and struggle -<s
Let us keep out of any foreign huddle
For experience has shown us how it ends
That this democracy is the one who spends
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1938-09-30

bending our energies toward the
welfare of the many.
The article follows:
Lets talk little more of de-
preston. It's the most popular sub
ject of the day. Even those who
know least about tits cause, or
cure enjoy rolling it under their
tongues like some sweet mOrsel. A
peculiar thing about this depression
business is the fact that lots of
folks who suffer least are crying
most-usually with loaf of bread
under their arms.
True it is that many men and
women are out of work, but it is
also true that far greater num-
Der still have their jobs even if at
a reduced rate of wage. In fact
most of these are no worse off than
before because of the reduction of
commodity prices which permits
the dollar to buy twice as much as
in other years. Most of the folks
who seem to be greatly perturbed
by facts of depression are uncOn-
sciOusly adding to it's burdens by
their attitudes of fear. Fear to
spend what they have through the
usual channels, doing without the
things they really need, restricting
their own overhead they also re-
strict business expansion and give
more life to depression.
Governmental agencies are do
ing all that can be done to help US
back to normally. No sense in find
ing fault with the men or the party
in power; no other set of men; no
other party could do any better.
"In flush times all of US were at
fault in spending too recklessly; we
are still at fault if now we seek to
curtail our spending beyond the
need of reasonable care. We still
have before US a hard winter; that
is admitted, but it will pass. Let's
face it with courage. Give what
help we can to those whose situa-
ton is really worse than our own.
And quit wallering in the doldroms.
Let's be thankful that things are
no worse than they are and remem-
Der we are not dead yet; while
there is life there is hope"
The head of one of the largest
religious organizations in the cOun-
try recently permitted his assOci-
ated officials to issue a nationwide
call for love offering for him.
He is alleged to be in receipt of
an income of $4,000 a year. Far
be it from me to suggest that a
labOrer is not worthy of his hire.
But he is not worthy of more and
$4,000 a year should be a sufficient
compensation.
It sets a bad example. It is fol-
lowed altogether too frequently by
incompetent and therefore I'M
worthy members of the cloth who
travel the country over expecting
the already overburdened members
of local churches to bear the ex-
penses of their pleasure trips.
They should remain at home and
do the work for which they are
paid. If that pay is not enough to
allow countrywide trips they are
not worse off than the great ma
jority of US who in these decadent
times find it hard to make ends ap-
proach-much less meet.
