Design For A Better Life
By Charles C. Garvin

Your life has a specific purpose. It is, for you to make what you can out of it. Some desire to be- come doctors, some lawyers, some professors, and still others have no hopes. It is true that all of us can't achieve all of these things, but it is unfair for the majority of the Ne groes to continue in such menial capacities as are witnessed ln this modern world.
 Here in Middletown, there are few, if any, race leaders. The chil- dren who are approaching manhood and womanhood are incapable to slave off the danger faced by youth in this town and similar towns in the state of Connecticut. l am sure that some of you have thought of the future. If you have, the pie ture you see must be very gloomy. You see boys and girls of other races who have enjoyed measure of success. It is true that they had what you didn't have. There are so many things that you are able to do to help the younger ones who are depending on you for a future which seems no brighter than the one you had. This world of ours is changing. The future will afford any number of valuable things for the babies of today.
 The discovery which man has made that has surpassed all others s- oR hTnncak Ask yourself this question: what is my purpose in life? I know that you know that all men have the same life functions. If one can, ] am sure you are able to do like wise. Life is not always bowl ot cherries. Life is tough and real. A Quitter never gets very far. Things which have value are the things which are harder to obtain. First of all, set your mind on particular goal. Work diligently toward it and one day you will find that your plans will materialiZe. During the youthful years of your life is the time when all preparation is made. Build strong body to withstand all of the hardships of life. Along with a physically fit body must be a we'll developed mind. Your mind, like your body, needs the proper food. The kind of training ones mind should get is the kind that will prove to be of use during his lifetime and even after. There are any number of men whose thoughts and ideals will never die. Therefore, the development of one's mind is important.

IN OUR CHURCHES
 By Charles c. Garvin

The Little Zion Baptist Church on the north end of town had many members and visitors for their reg ular morning services. All were happy to see their pastor, Rev. Z. A. Hart has returned from his re- cent illness. Rev. Hart was in good spirit and preached the morning sermon. He went to Matthew 16- 26 for his subject. "What hath thou gained?" The soul of man which God chose to be the everlasting part of mankind was the beginning of life. From that day on Man has been struggling for his safe return to God. The body deteriorates, rots, or vanishes; but mans soul returns to God Who gave it. The world is earthly and is left behind. Our faith in God will insure everlasting life for us.
 Rev. T. J. Riddick, Pastor, of Cross Street AME Zion Church will be away on his vacation for the next two weeks. He and his family are spending their vacation at Eliz- abeth City and Gastonia, North Carolina.
 Foreseeing his vacation Rev. Rid dick used subject for the morning services to fit the occasion: "Good News," his subject, is taken from Mark 5-19. How many of us have taken part in the spreading of bad news. The word of God and the goodness derived from his teach ings are living examples of good news. When it's good tell your friends. Tell the world that Jesus has entered your life and that you are no longer afraid.

NEW BRITAIN

NEW BRITAIN, Wednesday - The local NAACP held a mass meeting here Sunday afternoon to discuss the possibility of obtaining redress in the case of the false ar rest and jailing of James Robinson in the now-famous "rape" case in which he was the central figure.
 Several weeks ago woman was attacked in this city by man she described as "A Negro" and shortly afterward Robinson, who happened to be in the general vicinity, was arrested.
 Robinson stout1y maintained his innocence. In vain, character wit nesses declared the good character of the man. He was held in jail for weeks, however, and finally bail was set at prohibitively high fig ure.
 Shortly before the case would have come to trial another man was arrested, and during question ing on another crime admitted guilt in this one.
 Under Connecticut raw, stiff pro- visions of the law can be applied for the redress Of persons whose lives and welfare have been injured by false arrests by over-zealous police and law enforcement officials Tn this case the NAACP is pre- pared to utilize the full weight o1 its membership in fight that will be carried into the highest courts should the necessity arise.

These units are components of the 51st Fighter Wing, under the com mand of Brigadier-General Louis E. Boutwell, of Maiden.

There are vacancies in the grades of Master Sergeant, Technical Ser geant, Staff Sergeant and Corpo- ral. Applicants seeking these po- grades upon their separation from the serivce and must have been in the same classification or MOS number. A list of the type vacancies still existing follows:

Ruth happens to ask me to ac-

about the Democratic and Republi-

why, when Henry Wallace was muz-

In the minds of the people, what
Mr.. Wallace is going to keep to

hurts the Democratic Party more
than if he said it right now, be-
