OUR ANNIVERSARY

With this issue of the Forum

hind US, and to the future we
look with the highest optimism.
We shall continue publishing
this paper with the highest
regards for journalistic ethics
and the highest standard of

 "That the inter-racia1 commis- sion can be effective only in SO far as local organizations through out the state work with it, for the fullest attainment of it's ends" The speaker also cited the case of Mrs. Cuffy, recently appointed as supervisor of state welfare work CTS, as an instance of an out standing position being secured solely on merit.

Varick Receives Beelllan Singers

Approximately 15O persons ga- thered at Varick A. M. E.

 Eight selections were offered by the group to the obvious de- light of the audience, who were either soberly affected by such of ferings as 70 Man of God Arise, 9 or "Glory Road," or invited to share little seemingly kibity by an amusingly rendered 'Dry Bones"
 Soloist of the evening was Mrs. Estelle Andrews, who offered three operatic selections accom- panied on the piano by Mrs. Con- stance O+Dell of Waterbury, Ct.
 Mrs. Andrews seemed quite able to command the interest of the audience, as with remarkable breath-control, cperatic roise and artistic Interpretation, she held her listeners breathless during the course of her three re,7 diiions.

The internal arrangement of our city government is infested in poli- tics with many key men more in terested in granting political plums" than in working in the in- terests of you and me. Take poli- tics out of the administration of city government; (c) The pres ent city charter is nothing more than a patchwork of conflicting, antique ordinances which would drive a Philadelphia lawyer to drink.
 Many opposed to city manager plan propose a Strong Mayor form instead. Such a form merely dele gates more power to the mayor yet does not remove the real i'll of our present system. In order to do this politics in the adminis- tration of city government MUST be removed. Only by so doing can we ever hope to have a de- mocracy of government of the people, by the people and for the people.
 Of course city manager form is no panacea or cure-a1l, but it does represent the more economical and efficient than any other. A form which can bring these factors about without sacrifice of the peo- ple's rights or control.
 In deciding between Eyes or no city charter" let us bear in mind that real democracy has three vii tai "pass-keys":
 1. Free majority choice.
 2. Efficient administration by the majority's choice in the in. terest of all the people.
 3. Definite apportieHment and acceptance Of responsibility and obligations on the part of the ma jority's choice and the people as 8 whole. These "pass-keys" are contained in the proposed new charter for city manager form for Hartford.
