anything you've done. Any deed
that will earn you a spot near

and my eyes filled with tears,
"Tve Just worked on q shock
line for twenty long years. I
haven't done good and ! haven't
done bad. Work, worry, and

There just was no leisure time
for me to look around. I'm 80
sorry, St. Peter, please don't
send me DOWN"
He just looked at me and
slowly shook his head His halo
quivered and this is what he
said: Twenty years on q pro-

Live Right
By Morris Gibbs, sr.

People have no right to holler
When they are put on the pan,
Because the public won't talk
If they will keep their own man.
Some folks get awfully mad
When they are set right,
But-never stop to think
It's unChristian to bite.
They should get mad at themselves
For stirring up a mess,
Motley never see it that way
Everything's platonic; what's to
confess?
Live right and you'll see
No talk can ever start,
But if you give the public
something
Watch and see friends part.
Keep from the appearance of evil
When you're in the public eye,
For folks will search with a spy
glass
And say things thatIl make you
cry.
You'll lose your prestige also
Better if you start some place
anew,
Remain, you'll have to suffer
The retribution that is due you.
So here's a warning to all
If the editor thinks anything's
news,
He'll print it regardless
Too bad if it causes the blues.

Mrs. j enkin~s Says
Choir Members Had
No Malicious Inten-
tons

Editor: The former choir men,
bers of st. James A. NJ. E. Church
in st. Paul were told that on last
Sunday, Jan. 9th, the men who
served as ushers and the police who
came to the church after the serv-
ice were there by orders of the
house committee to keep US from
breaking up the church" as one of
the men informed me after service
was dismissed.
We who were there were there
for the purpose of worship. Some
one is spreading malicious gossip
about our intentions. We are far
too intelligent to stoop to gutter
stuff and too Christian to try to
break up the church. We leave
that to those who have been doing
it.
Because some folk show their
ignorance does not mean we are in
that class and we are far too busy
to do the thing we were accused
of plotting and which some who are
spreading these malicious rumors
would like to see happen.
We are all intelligent enough to
know what dissolved means and if
those who are spreading these ru-
mors would apply their time in a
more useful way we would be
grateful.
We know some folk are not Civ
ing us credit for being Christian in
our actions but we are at the least
Christian enough to keep our
tongues from malicious gossip and
to also maintain our solidarity.

LANSING. Feb. IA softened
sabotage prevention bill was APP
proved by the judiciary committee
of the Senate today and sent to
the floor for debate.
The original bill, introduced by
Senator d. Hale Brake (R) of

quest of the AFL and other union
leaders to make the penalty for
sabotage read two years in jail
and 81 900 fine instead of 10 years
and $4,000.
The new bill also would make
it harder to convict questionable
sabateurs by forcing officers 10

to stop strangers prowling within
