Dark Hands
By MAMIE NJ. TRAVIS
In Sept. Opportunity"

Dark hands, grown strong from
battling with oppression,
Patient from years of unrequited
toll,
Look to your skills; improve your
craftsmanship;
Hold fast to honesty.
The troubled world is racked and
torn today
By brutal, grasping hands, so
disciplined
In ways of treachery and law1ess-
ness
They seek no other course.
When this destruction shall have
spent itself,
Theren be a need of clean;
strong, patient hands
To Gull the broken parts and build
again.
Dark hands, keep clean; prepare.

Poetic Thoughts
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.
Knights of the Road

They have no place to sleep
No regular meals to eat,
No home to call their own;
It's difficult to keep themselves
neat,
The heavens form a canopy
For them to rest under at night,
Their weary bodies relax
To endure another torture is
their plight.
They awake each day no better
Looking for the same thing,
Some food, maybe an odd job
If fortune is theirs to bring.
Tattered clothes and WORKOUT
shoes
Misfit hats and maybe a cane,
Comprises their baggage, extreme
ly light,
For they travel over rough
terrain.
Many a saddened heart
Has taken to the road,
To try and find a solution
To overcome Depression's load.
Wanderers of the nations high
ways,
AS you go from place to place,
With little food and earnings less,
Keep trying and depression will
fall in disgrace.

Until your strong arms, reaching

Shielding them in your breast
Until they rest

How sadly you have failed.
Unless your lips shall speak, and

Saying, "These too are mine, and

Unless you so shall act and think

was obtained today at the headquar-
ters of the campaign in the private
dining room Of the Capitol Cafe.

der of the Army IN High Point, who
has been here working with Sam AL

visory board, said the campaign.
would be concluded at the end Of
this week, and he hoped that reports
vet to be received from workers
would run the total figure in that
time to near the goal sought. He
was pleased with the response Of cit
liens, but urged full support OF the
program. He said one pledge amount
ed to 5000, but did not reveal tn.
name of the donor for publication.
Much Of the contributions has beer
in cash, though most has been in
pledges, and virtually all of these
appear TO be good for the full sums
pledged.
The campaign was made necessary
at this time because the community

in the past two years, is not function
ing in 1910. II was noted that in this
drive some supporters had made lar
ger contributions to The Salvation
