Community Center, Inc, of Hart
ford, Conn, gave a stirring adj

Director for the Red Cross over
seas. He stressed particularly the
fact that the time has now come
when each individual must put
aside his Indifference and take
an active part in the civic and so
clal aralrs OF his community and
the country as a whole. He point
ed out that though the war has
ended, the world is still permeated
by hate and misunderstanding be-
tween nations, races, individuals
and religious groups. In spite of
this fact, however, human nature
is still good at the core, end each
mans desire is to do to the best
Of his ability the job that is given
him But the time has come for
each man to strive to understand

THE PREVIEW
By ST. CLAIR KIRTON

(Written at the death of the great humanitarian
Franklin Deano Roosevelt and reprinted upon the first
anniversary of his passing by request of its author
Well done my son. thou vert a faithful steward,
Come view the land from old Mount Pisgah's height;
That land of which thou dreamst and where stored
The hopes of millions caught in sorry plight.
Thine was a charge to keep, thou kept it well!
Honor and justice thine earthly creed;
Courage sustained thee in thy fight to quell
All evil forces bent sordid deeds
Cast off thy mantle, fling it into space
And let it fall upon a servant true;
These lasting virtues may be- too, embrace
Til victory the he shall pursue!

Harrison expressed the long ac-
cepted story that Trotter"s mill

fray and had stuck a hat-pin in
a tender spot of one of Boston's
bluecoats at that time seeming to
favor the forces Of the visiting
DR.. Washington who had over
whelming support of wealthy citi-
zens and the local daily press.

speech with a rather gay note as
