THANKS FROM NEGRO
FESTIVAL OF NATIONS
COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN
954 St. Anthony Ave.
St. Paul, MINI.

954 St. Anthony Ave.
St. Paul, MINI.
April 80.
Editor: Please allow me, in be-
half of the NEGRO Group" of the
Festival of Nations, to express
sincere appreciation and thanks for
your unselfish cooperation during
the recent Festival Of Nations held
in St. Paul.
Without such cooperation from
your papers and the many public
spirited individuals and organiza-
tions of the Twin Cities, it would
have indeed been impossible for
the Negro Group" Of the Festival
to enjoy the overwhelming success
that was by wide acclaim justly
theirs.
May the Recorder and Spokes-
man newspapers live long and con-
tinue their present policy of cham
pioning worthwhile civic programs
Very truly yours,
Mrs. John NJ. Patton
General chairman of Negro
Group" St. Paul Festival of Ma,
tions.

many peoples faith in Governor
YoungdahPs strength with the con-
sentative legislature, the drive for
the enactment Of the law was not
well organized. This paper was
guilty Of believing that conserva-
tive leadership in the legislature
would rally to the FEPC and pass
it because Of its merit and because
the Governor was intellectually
behind 1t. That was an error which
none Of US must repeat again.
To pass such a measure we must
be well organized and we must get
over to the rural districts the bene-
fits Of laws which would protect
minority group rights.
The liberals like Humphrey, the
CLIO, the Minnesota United Ma

The Veterans Administration is
worried because a lot Of ex-GTs
who bought homes on CT loans are
selling them in deals whereby the
buyer simply agrees to take over
the existing loan on the property.
The VA points out that in a deal
like that the veteran remains per-
sonally responsible for the pay
ment of the loan, if the new owner
fails to keep up his payments.
In addition, Joe, if the guy who
buys your house on one Of those
deals fails to make his payments
the agency which loaned you the
money to buy the house can force
a trustees sale where the property
can be sold for less than the
amount of the debt remaining, and
make you pay the difference be-
tween the proceeds Of the sale and
the amount Of the loan outstanding.
On top of all that the Govern
ment will pay the lending agency
any portion Of the debt which it
guaranteed you'd pay and then you
will owe the government that
amount.
Sure, you can buy a house on a
CT loan, and in many cases sell it
the next day for thousand dollar
proft-but if you sell, be sure that
the purchaser either pays cash or
arranges a loan in his own name.
And while you are at it, Just
remember that once you have used

SCHOOL DAZE

Joe, if you are already in school
under the CT Bill and plan to at
tend a different school this sum-
mer you should apply now for a
supplemental certificate of eligi-
bility. In fact, you can't get into
the new school until you have one.
Getting one is simple enough.
Ask the registrar at the school you
are now attending for one. If he
doesn't have one, your veterans
coordinator or your VA training
office will.
When you get the application,
fill it out and send it to the VA
regional office having jurisdiction
over the school which you are now
attending. That office is the only
one authorized to issue you a sup
Elemental certificate and the VA
says if you don't file your applica-
ton well in advance of the end Of
the spring semester you might run
into a few bitches when you show
up at the new school, which. among
other things, may delay your sub
sistence check.

Dear Joe
BABIES OR A
LITTLE FUN!
BY JAMES L. HICKS

Over in England, as a result of
the war, there is an extreme short
age Of men and a surplus Of women
that wolves like to dream about.
Last Tuesday as a remedy for
this situation the Rev. w. G. Har-
grave Thomas, the vicar Of Need
ham Market, in Suffolk, England,
recommended that a pool of heal
thy men" be created to help frus-
trated English women produce the
babies that they want.
Said the Rev. Hargrave-Thomas:
women who feel the need for a
child should have one. But | don't
approve of artificial dissemination.
Emotion surrounding the sexual
act is necessary and beautiful. Test
tube babies will produce robots"
The good Rev. added: Il suggest
there might be a pool of healthy
men who would perform the sexual
act for needy spinsters-to produce
beautiful babies but not for mere
lust, of course"
Now, Joe, no one will dispute
the Reverend's right to speak his
mind land few people will deny
that he can find as many healthy
men as he wants for that pool
but these Englishmen land women
should make up their minds.
You see, Joe, according to re,
ports from London, another result
Of the war is the fact that there
are already more than 10000 il
legitimate babies in England which
colored CTS, stationed there dur
ing the war, helped the "frus'
trated" English spinsters produce
But the strange part of the stu
alton is that England, despite the
acute shortage of manpower, is
making a desperate attempt to ship
those babies to the United States
Wonder if it's babies these Eng
lish women really want?

The Church Is Needed

No community can get along
without the Church and the in
fluence it exerts upon all human
life. The world would be flooded
with uncontrolled viciousness If it
were not for the curb of Christian
religion. Few men today would
want to live in community where
there were no churches. Why not
interest yourself in this vital in
stitution of the Church? Why not
find out what it stands for and
whether or not you need it in your
life?
Worship in the church of your
choice, but don't neglect this Wit
al need in your life. If you have no
church home, you are invited to
worship with us.
