Poetic Thoughts
In the Street
By MORRIS GIBBS. ST..

Some friends always in the street,
Never home and don't mind the heat,
Weather doesn't interfere neither ice snow,
Stops these people who continue to go.
The wonder is how their work be done,
Always just gone a little rum
No matter how you try to repay call,
Just have patience and make another attempt that's ALL
Nothing worries people always the go,
Don't even think that the furnace may get low,
Only sickness stops their pleasure; sometimes bad feet
When nearly well-start convalescing in the street.
It's true, it's nobody's business what is done,
How the house is cleaned your business is run,
For your sake and we all know it's true, .
Stop giving gossps any possible clue
Actions we know speak louder than words,
So govern yourselves there won't be any birds,
twittering here and there about what you do,
Remember when in the street you're in the public view

Howdy,' Folks:

Howdy, Folks:
AS am writing this it is only 81
below; rather chilly but very ex-
hilarating. One girl came to work
with red plaid ear hobs, and were
they ever becoming. An old
woman told me that her milk bot
ties were so frozen that the milk
looked like the eruption of Mount
Vesuvius. They are telling this on
one of our popular Minneapolis
boys about town. It seems as if
the steering wheel on his car was
so chilled by twenty-one below that
the car ran sideways, turned
around and ran back into the ga
rage. Now, that's a good tale if
there ever was one.) A glimpse at
the SilhOuette's party last week
end: That "just friends" couple,
JEWELL MANN and WALTER
DOBSON were there having the
time of their lives. Who was
looking at BARBARA MCCLURE
in anything but an Indifferent way?
That cute couple, GEORGINA
and JAKE COLLINS, still have
that ever-glowing 81 am so in love"
look on their faces. (Ain't it
grand?) Bein' that the official
title of the party was "Coke Par
ty," that grand master of ceremo-
MES, Chubby" Brady, was SEEM
to it that everyone had as many
coca colas as possible. PAT
and PEARL SCHOFIELD (the so
proud parents) were back in the
swing again. (Poppa Pats chest |
is still swelled with pride over his
new little daughter.) AS has
always been in the past, the Sill
houettes and their company had. an
enjoyable time. Event of the |
week: The Credjafawn's party |
Monday, February 20, promises to
break the monotony around the
Twin Cities. Everyone and his
great grandpop (of course, the
who have been invited) |
are planning to be there. From all |
the girls are going to fall |
out in some too mellow gowns. One
girl told me that an awful catas-
trophe had occurred at her home.
Her lovely formal, which had been
stored away carefully with the
moth balls was brought. out of it's
so long seclusion to be worn at the
dance. Upon looking it over she |
found to her amazement that the |
moths despite the moth balls) had |
eaten the straps almost off her
gown. The girls mother, being |
quite resourceful, has remodeled |
the dress into one of these strap
less gowns. Don't forget to look |
for the girl with the taffeta strap
less gown Did you know:
MRS. RAYMOND HATCHER had
to leave the Twin Cities unexpect-
eddy for Alabama, where she will
stay with her mother, who is quite
i'll? -.
Another event of the week: The
College Women's Founders Day
Tea Sunday, February 10, is an
other pleasant event the Twin
Citians are looking forward to.

Here And
There
By w. N. Smith

This writer believes that the age
of reason is coming to his people
in the Twin Cities. Indeed, fol-
many it is already here. There are
numerous evidences the careful OBJ
server may see.
There is less of the emotional
fervOr which in the past too fire.
quently was responsible for unwise
decisions. There is less jumping
to conclusions which final analysis
often proved to be mistaken.
There is less of carping criticism
and a steady growth among lead
ing minds of awareness of a duty
that falls to intelligent leadership.
Cooperation is more often on the
tongues and in the actions of the
people. Restrictions which limit
our spheres of action in so many
directions are being resisted no less
determinedly but with the thought
more clearly in mind that such re-
sistance must have more of unity,
more of tolerance for each other,
more willingness to sacrifice for
the general welfare the selfish in
terests of the individual.
We are coming to see values in
these things which heretofore have
escaped us. We are realizing that
the power of our resources in our
religious, civic and economic lives
takes on a new strength when
such resources are directed by
mass opinion toward definite OBJ
jectives rather than by divergent
forces of individual initiative dis
sipated in many directions.
The coming to our cities of Mr..
c. R. James, eminent historian, au-
thor, and lecturer, has served to
emphasize these developments. To
our great satisfaction we find our
selves we'll on the way he has so
eloquently and logically pointed
out. And while we do not all see
eye to eye with our distinguished |
visitor we yet can see its peril
nency and are assured that even
now we are following in the path |
he so firmly believes leads from the
labyrinths we have so long and
so unsuccessfully sought to escape.
What moots it that blind and
prejudiced Washingtonians refuse
to hear the gifted Marion Ander-
son? Do we know, too, that the
whole southern country, by its fool
ish attempt to keep the black man
down, is delaying and possibly de-
stroying its own opportunity for
social and economic parity with the
rest of the United States? Do we
not know that thousands and thou
sands of our young men and wom-
en- are coming from the highest
Institutions of learning in the land
to join in a more compact, better
organized, better prepared physi-
cally and mentally to carry on our
fight for social justice?
Shall we not rather regret than
blame the great world leader, the
Catholic Pope who passed from life
this week, cannot wear in his en-
blem of many laurels the brilliant
gem of passionate protest of the
rape of Ethiopia.
If we can find this state of mind
present in US we may be sure the
age of reason is with US. We may
be sure, too, that whatever prob
ems face US of the Twin Cities we
shall bring to their solution our
united forces, free from intoler-
ances, justly directed, inviting the
and sympathetic aid of all
who hope to see our people prosper,
