ABRAHAM LINCOLN
1.-THE APOSTLE OF HUMAN
- LIBERTY
BY Harry ii. Schlacht
Editor, East Side News
~ NE hundred and thirty
three years, ago a great
soul beamed like a
. morning star on troubled
world.
In a log cabin among the
green-clad hills of Kentucky,
and in an atmosphere that
was similar i'm its humbleness
to the birth of Christ, the
first cry of the babe that was
Abe Lincoln fell upon human
ears.
Like Christ, he lived for
others and sacrificed his all
that humanity might live in a
better world.
Carlyle said that in Dante
ten silent centuries found a
voice.
In Lincoln, America found
hers, a voice that pleaded and
thrilled and ultimately
brought light and life to OPP
pressed mankind.
He was the great cOmmOner
of history.
His homely, humble and
honest humanity carried him
to the heights of rare achieve
ments.
He was child Of the
people.
There il no accounting for
genius: il has neither ances-
tors nor descendants.
Genius is the child of neces-
Sity.
Lincoln was the product OF
a crisis, and a crisis gave
birth TO its saviour.
He was the persOnificatiOn
OF Americanism, a symbol OF
all that gives life and strength
to the nation.
His worth is reflected I'm
every impulse Of his heart,
and in every act Of his life.
and their splendor shOne in
one lustrous orbit.
In the armament Of life he
moved in a circle all his own,
the course Of which has never
been paralleled.
Lincoln said that "Our reli-
ance is i'm our love of liberty
which God has implanted in
us"
Our defense is i'm the spirit
which he priced as the heri-
D tage of all men everywhere.
' He pIucked a thorn and
planted a flower.
He caused in human beings
the hardness To vanish, the
pettiness and the cynicism to
depart; and in their place he
planted flowers Of strength
and power, love and human
kindness.
He knew and Obeyed the
higher sentiments of his soul.
He Travelled the upward
trail, for he dedicated his
energies to the common good
of mankind.
To him America was not so
much a place as il was a peO-
pie, not a creed nor a dream
but a breathing thing with a
magnificent past and a great
future.
Lincoln at Gettysburg was
an immortal and sOul-stirring
scene rich i'm sOlemnity and
pregnant with historical sig
nificance.

A. Since your rent ceiling has been set by the OPA and repainting and redecorating has been done as a part of 8 customary maintenance program by your landlord, there Is nothing in L-4l which prohibits your landlord from continuing such main tenance work.

 A. Take up the problem with your OPA area rent director.
 Q. My landlord promised to build bookcase in my apartment and I accordingly signed an extension to my lease. He tells me that he is not permitted to build the bookcase because he is limited to spending less than $500 fo rnew construction during any continuous twelve month period. Is that correct?
