Star-JOurnal Treatment

below:
To the Editor:
l have Just finished reading in tonight 5

Reference to Octavius Roy Cohen's carl
cature of Birmingham Negro society"
seems to me somewhat out of place in a
description of such an event. Moreover,
the subtle sarcasm of this statement is
unmistakable: The sophisticated and
moneyed of the Negro population. decked

white counterpart :" This is not in
tended to be a diatribe on the race ques-
ton, but rather a comment on journalistic
policy. In discussing other matters your
statements are generally restrained, but
you might refer to the European war as
that highly civilized" pastime. What do
you think?
Very truly yours,
JOSEPH A. BAILEY.

Mothers Day
By Norris Gibbs, Sr.

All! This is day of deep reverence,
When think back and see,
All the kind things of remembrance
That Mother means to you and me.
Every year we do give homage,
On the second Sunday in May,
For her loving spirit shows to every age
What love do every day.
AS grow older in wisdom
We realize more what she meant.
Her place couldn't be taken for a kings ransom,
No matter how things went.
1t seems to take years for certain recognition,
AS human beings slow to show gratitude
But time shows a closer expression,
AS the world shows more loving attitude
We can never say too much,
About the love and sacrifice Mother made
For always feel tender touch,
AS her memory will never fade.
Children should never get disgruntled angry
At what their Mother may say,
For she didn't want you to overstep the boundary
That would cause grief some future day.
Let gladness and gratitude fill your memory,
AS you look back upon the years,
Pray she may live to century,
And during that time you caused her tears.
