NEW YORK CITY-The So
called smear of Harlem is a
crime wave center" is a pa.
thetic problem confronting us
at this time; especially when
we all need harmony and con
SiStency in mind, body and
soul, The RECOMMENDATION of this
violent force should not be
overlooked. If these socalled
"muggers" and bandits" were
given a decent chance in life
I'd say they would not make
this design for living. This
writer takes the opinion that
right is always right, and no
wrong makes right and hopes
that the appalling situation
will soon be healed.
Give our people the same
opportunities in New York City
and elsewhere to get jobs that
pay well. The cost of living is
not determined by race or
creed. It's the same old "story"
that a dog will never bother
anything else if he's not hun
cry.
"MUGGTNG UNFAIR"
If you haven't been mug

dark street in Philadelphia,
near the Fay Theatre, at 10th
and Market Streets, where I
made an attempt to see my
pal and friend, Duke Ellington.
Whether the thugs followed me
from the Postal Card Cafe at
18th and South SITS is a last
quandary, but I do know that
the pair Of youths that did the
job were amateurs. One
grabbed me by the neck; tore
the buttons from my overcoat,
and made a bee-line for my
wallet; and finally took time to
unleash my Bulova wrist watch,

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

There is q door in every
heart called Friendships glad
retreat; and those who enter in
that door, find life so grand
and sweet. Some keep their
friendship door ajar. Some
have theirs widely thrown. But
those who keep theirs tightly
closed have meier real pleasure
known. So let's all share and
have part in this worlds
friendship realm; it makes life
so much more complete, when
friends are at the helm.
