WO WORDS mat USED 10
play an enormous part in
L American family life are
"duty" and morality" These
terms went out of fashion q long
while ago; our younger genera
ton wouldn't know how to ap-
ply them to general behavior.
Duty, they think, means do
ing certain disagreeable things
whether you want to or not. And
what a nerve anyone has to tell
you what you should or
shouldn't do!
Morality means not lying,
not talking scandal, keeping
your word, keeping your
thoughts and your actions
pure, conquering in your soul, as
much as you can, feelings Of hate,
revenge, Jealousy. lust, anger. Not
being incorporate. Not being proud.
Not being selfish.
isn't it comfortable to be good?"
one Of the wisest women I know
said one day.
Secret Of Married Bliss.
So that when an old wife talks
to 4 younger one, and advises her
to make humility and patience. for
giveness and understanding . part
Of her wedding outfit, she is not ad-
vocating 4 course that leads to mar
tyrdom. She Is giving the bride the
secret Of married happiness. She
is telling her that she will be hap
pier in the long run, will indeed be
one Of the truly successful and con-
tented women Of the world, if she
goes into matrimony armed with q
sense Of duty and a strong deter
mination to keep the moral law.
Once that law is accepted firmly
nothing else matters.
Here is a letter from a woman
whose experience unfortunately is
somewhat typical today. It is just
possible that if some good mother,
20 years ago, had given her 4 sound
respect for morality and duty her
story might have been different.
Twelve years ago I was madly
in love with a doctor I will call
Bill" she writes me. HE loved
me, too, but he didn't want to get
married. It hurt my pride to be the
one most in love, but there was no
help for it, and even though I knew
he wasn't any paragon, was weak
enough to give him everything he
asked.
First Love Renewed.
"After awhile he went away, and
I formed a deep affection for an
other man, Frank. Frank was the
one in love now, but I liked him
80 much that eventually we were
married, had q nice home, and a
son and daughter. Five years ago
We lost our boy, grief that caused
me q serious illness. In this illness
my doctor was Bill, who had come
back to town, and soon the old in
fatuation took possession Of us both.

The Postal Service has shown that this can be done.
| know of no case where riots or fights have occurred
in the postal service because a white mandld not care
to work beside a colJred man. This TRADITION Oh the
Post Office, regardless of political ADMINISTRATIONS,
should be an object lesson to all industry. IL shoulo
be hammered li1me to all employers who hesitate 10
take in Negroes because of a fear that the whites
will object. 1t should be remembered by all LABOR I'M

fear of offending the "sensibilities" of their White
members. :,
Let them look at the record OF colored men ana
white men working side by side in the United States
Post Office. They can then be treasured. lhey can
then take immediate steps to give equal opportunity
in making a living to the colored citizen, for his own
sake and the sake of his and our country.
1t is more than fitting that seventy-flye yeas
after the war which brought about the political tree
dom of the Negro, we should honor Lincoln and the
spirit which guided him. Now the world is engay ed
in a death struggle between democracy and the dc
satorships. We should call upon all true America IS
to make this nation a genuine shrine for democracy
by fighting for the integration Of our Negro citizens
into the industrial effort of our defense. To that
objective. let us pledge ourselves here d)day!

the possibility. there were many
who believed unidentified aircraft

A federal indictment today charged
California and Florida fruit CX-
changes and fruit auction firms
throughout the nation with fixing
prices Of citrus and deciduous fruits
and controlling the methods of
their distribution.
A spokesman Tor the department
of justice said the action would
assure the American consumer of
more reasonable prices for fruits
grown in California and Florida
and yield growers a better price
for their produce.
1t Wa5 pointed out that alleged
excessive costs of fruit were the
result OF the methods of sales
and distribution. and that once
that evil is corrected, the consumer
will enjoy lower prices. 1t also will
prevent any unusual rise in prices

other commodities. it was said.
