THIS and THAT
C. TOWNS



Hello Friends: -- Here comes
that man again. A little bit of
this and little Of that. First as
to the understanding between
two people (the white and the
black, the white has never been
black and can't understand the
black. The black has never been
white and can't understand the
white. Let us imagine the races
reversed with the conditions re-
naming the same. Educational,
financial and other opportunities
for the other fellow Always
afraid you will be made to feel
embarrassed. Always in fear of
unjust punishment. Always be-
ing reminded of your race. Know
ing that nobody of the other race
has any confidence in you. Know
ing that whatever offense one
might commit, the whole race will
be looked at with hard feeling
and charged with the same error.
Don't be so quick to take ven-
geance and lay your religion
down. Jesus Christ said, Let the
wheat and the tares grow togeth-
er, and he would do the separat-
ing, Christ knew you couldn't
separate the two without uproot-
ing the wheat. Here is a DEM
onstration of what l am trying to
say. In cooking or baking, we
use milk and don't care whether
it comes from white COW or a
black one we use eggs and don't
ask whether they were laid by a
white hen or a black one we use
sausage and pork chops and don't
care whether the hog was black
or white we eat steak and all we
want is a good steak regardless
of the color of the steer it was
cut from. Why gag at a gnat
and swallow a camel?

AGENCIES PRACTICE
DISCRIMINATION

New York (CNS) Rather
than comply with New York
City's Race Discrimination amend
ment, six Protestant child-care
agencies have been shutting their
doors to public charges.
AS result of this inhuman dis
elimination against helpless chill
dren, facilities, formerly avail
able for the care of dependent or
neglected children both white
and black are reduced to 719.
This curtailment of service took
place chiefly during wartime
when all foster care resources
were severely taxed. Mr.. Robert
r. Lane, executive director Of the
Welfare Council of New York
says, "This shocking situation stilR
continues so that now we have q
list of 900 to TOO children Of an
races awaiting foster care. Thee
six agencies are lacking in civic
conscience and moral response
bility."

PAINTERS WIN
DOUBLE HEADER

Philander Smith College PAN
theirs staged an unusual game
when they played one of the
Panthers and his five brothers.
the Donald Brothers from Menu
fee, Wednesday night at the USO.
In spite of the fact that the
Donald Brothers got Off to late
start, they played a brilliant
game, but the fast passing,
straight shooting, and reserve
strength of the Partners proved
to be too much for them.
The Panthers were leading by
a score of Is to 0 at the end of
the first quarter and by 80 to 8
at the end of the half. But the
Donald Boys came back in the
second half and displayed a beau
tiful spectacle of handling and
passing, but the Panthers' defen-
sive play did not allow them to
come close to victory. Tillman
and Williams were high point
men for the Panthers while
Nick Donald starred for the
Donald Brothers. The game end
ed SIS to % in favor of Philander.
On the same night Philander
girls played A. B. c. College girls.
Philander won Is to Is. A sue
cessful shot by Eva johnson in
the last seconds of the game
brought PSC the close and excit-
ing victory.

With hard tackles, fast running,
short passes, and an extraordinary
amount of fUlmbles on the Nogales
team, the Nogales Apaches dropped
a closely contested game to the Casa
Grande Cougars at the high school
stadium Friday night, 14-7.
A touchdown in the first period
was the climax of a march by the
Cougars when they began to roll on
the mid-stripe, ending up with Wah-
lin plunging over the line for the
six points. The placement split the
red and white crepe papered up
rights for the extra point. The
Apaches were on the bottom of the
TO score at the end of the opening
quarter.
The tribesmen threatened the
Cougar goal line constantly
throughout the second stanza of the
game but fell short of the goal by
fumbling twice on the two yard line.
The third period found the Apa-
ches on the march again. With
long runs from both teams, the

Hardin-Simmons Football Team

cepted Utah and Marquette univer-
sites. BY Oct. 26. the Hardin
Simmons Cowboys were one rung
ahead of the Cats in national team
standings, in eighth place, largely
because of the running prowess of
Doc Mobley, third-place individual
in rushing offense. The fact that
the Arizona passing attack has been
good enough to lift the team to
seventh place nationally in total
offense partially equalizes the Mob
ley threat.
Hard to meet will be the Hardin
Simmons potent defense against
rushing and passing. Their record
on total defense places them among
the first Is in the nation, in tenth
place. The Cowboys were scored on
only twice while running up total
of 1876 points against IA in their
