GIVE 1T
ASIGET 1T
BY Emory o. Jackson
LIFE TODAY

from many parts OF the world.
The top always depends upon its
bottom.
1t is an old doctrine of ethics that
when the top becomes rotten its
virus filters down to the bottom
and poisons it. When the middle
segment becomes rotten then civil
lization crumbles. Civilization
rests not upon guns, science, in
dustry and ETC., but upon morals,
substantial values, and lofty vir-
tues.
Greece had her great men but
produced few good ones. Rome
had her mighty men but produced
few virtuous ones. Gone is the
glory that was Rome's and the
grandeur that was Greece's.
Youths Hunt
Something like 4S2 black and
white youth attended the sixth
annual American Youth Congress
which convened at College Camp,
Wis.
Paramount aim of these youths
was "a chance to shoot its mouth
off, and draw attention to its prob
lems."
Youth has been the number one
irritant of late to the adults, who
among other things, see these lead
ers of tomorrow unfortunately as
Communists. Some Of them may
be, But how would they have
youth? What is their answer to
unemployment, social happiness,
creative expression, life security,
all faced by youth? Would they Of
fer their own society Of greed,
selfishness immortality as a way
out? Little salvation is found in
condemnation. Youths hunt is one
of happiness.
The Aged-up view youth as
"brash, bad-mannercd, ignorant,
and Red" The more friendly
adults tell youth to "show good
manners, refrain from splitting in
its elders eye"
Manpower
You may not want to go to war
but any sane man should want to
be able to protect himself il he is
jumped on. Even if you turn the
other check it should be able to
take n crashing blow without cav
ing in.
THE very first requirement In
warfare is manpower, Square
shouldered vital specimens Of mas
culinity. Weaklings would be use
less-in the way"
Manpower and manhood 60 hand
in hand. Both depend upon 'vigor.
Gus health 1t cannot be acquired
by sapplng strength by par
taking of every temptation.
Flesh Shop
Comes the news story from Rio
De Janerio, Brazil, South Ameri-
ca that Lonesome men" go shop
ping for love" in tho flesh mark
cts in the same manner as the
American housewife shopping for
tender steak"
Stalled up like milch cows In n
dairy stable, the women Of oil ma
tionalities give themselves on the
spot for 15 and 25 cents Men make
the purchase and enjoy It,"
There are something like 500 girls
to tho block.
Men mill the flesh rows looking
over the herd and "when they de-
eide, there isno need for words.
They simply push open the door Of
the girls cage, walk in, drop the
curtain and follow their instincts.
