 MT. Hale's desire is very sincere, in which he states, "I want to have four more years of college and earn a degree in education. Then I will make my career as voca- tional guidance counselor, a per sonnel man. I want to work a. mong the handicapped veterans, and perhaps help them"
 The only time that Vasco's de- termination has faltered was when Harvard University turned him down. However he is still waiting and hoping. At the present time he and his wife are buying their own home, located a half block beyond the Hartford city line.

 Lieutenant Hale spent 8 years in different military hospitals be- fore arriving at Avon Old Farms Convalescent Hospital. The finest of courage has been shown in his new start. He was forced to give up his clay molding because it was inclined to deaden his thumb which he needed for Braille. Most of his time is spent preparing to re-enter college. Although Army medics say Vasco will never again have the use of his sight, taste, and smell, he plans to re-enter college and further his education.

i Two More Vets Lynched In Texas

New York, August 22nd - Lynch terror continued unabated in several Southern States today, faring up in Marshall, Texas, where two Negro veterans met death at the hands of unknown persons" Although Texas police attempted to characterize the lynchings as isolated murders, Ne groes in Marshall live under the pail of lynch law.
 NAACP investigators have re- ported what they believe to be two new lynchings to the National Of flee in New York and are continu- ing their investigation in spite of an ominous lack of cooperation by the towns police. The two new victims of the terror, both for mer GTs, were Richard F. Gordon, 31, and Alonza Brooks, 25.
 Gordon's death, according to po- lice, was at the hands of a hit and-run driver. But one of che people who saw his body lying on the road Ibefore it was taken to the morgue, stated that his throat had been slashed from ear to ear un- doubtedly by a knife, that his head and body were horribly cut and bruised, and that prints on the road leading to where the vet lay, showed evidence that he had tied to the rear of an automobile. Negro residents in the vicinity of the killing said they were ava kened early in the day by two automobiles containing groups of white men, who were making a great deal of noise, and who re- mained on the scene of the killing until the police arrived, leading to the belief that the lynchers and police were in a conspiracy toge- ther.
 Several days before his death, Gordon had been questioned by the police on a charge of stealing his wealthy white employers whiskey. Although he had no knowledge of the theft, and vehemently told the police so, he was fired. Two days later, he was rehired, by his for mer employer, and was killed at dawn the next morning.
 There is even more mystery about the death of Alonza Brooks, who was found dead in the woods near Marshall, three days after he had left home in his car to visit friends after driving his family to church. He had no

 It seems that this is not to fbe the only objective of such a Radio Station but one of it's primary obligations. The plan for such a station comes out of the feeling that both the large daily papers and the existing radio stations are not inclined to give this grave problem either the consistent hon. est treatment that must be given if a real solution is to be reached.
 Among. those individuals who are vitally interested in honest so- cial adjustments in the nation, there seems to be the feeling that

 1t is expected that within a very short time, forms will be available on which veterans may apply for terminal leave pay.
 It. is contemplated that, where possible, all applications will be filled out under group instruction so that it will be assured that all forms are made out accurately and with no cost to the veteran for mo- tary service.
 All men and women eligible for terminal leave payments are ad- vised to have photostatic copy of both sides of their discharges made immediately. Only full-size photostats will be acceptable.
 Any person who has lost his dis charge certificate should immedi- ately obtain Certificate in Lieu of Discharge"

GOSPEL TALKS
SEEK AND READ

Seek We out the book of the Lord
and read" - Isaiah 34:16
1t can be said without fear of con-
tradiction that a Bible that is never
read is a Bible that is bringing no
blessing to anyone. Yet, many Bibles
are never opened and perhaps their
owners are wondering why they do
not experience more of Gods
blessing.
The Bible is a book that never
grows old. Its truths endure forever.
'The grass withereth, the flower
fadeth: but the word of our God
shall stand forever = Isaiah 40:8.
The message of the Word of God is
timely = it meets the needs of this
age just as much as it has met the
needs of past ages.
Universal Bible Sunday, which is
being celebrated throughout the
world on Sunday, seeks to call to
peoples attention the great spiritual
heritage we have in the Bible and to
promote study of it. 1t calls us from
the pursuits of life to seek out the
book of the Lord and read it. Learn
the message of the Bible for it is g
message of salvation through
Christ message of hope for
hopeless souls.
