litter SONG
ON AGAIN

NEW YORK - Following al
most international ban, Gloomy
Sunday" the suicide song, has
been recorded by romantic bari
tone Lee Richardson and the
Luis Russell orchestra, and is
being released this month.
1t was written some IA years
ago by a Hungarian cabaret
pianist, when Budapest was ex-
periencing a severe economic
depression. Six or seven self
inflicted deaths in a day became
common. Finally police traced a
large percent age of these deaths
to Gloomy Sunday" and there
after forbade public playing of
song. Today in the more emo
tionllay stable times the music
public welcomes the revival of
Gloomy Sunday" Luis Russell
produces the additionally weird
music for the Apollo disk by
means of unusual techniques in
troduced with his new 17-piece
orchestra accompanying Lee
Richardson.

Rep Laurence Banks
at Calvin Club

Representative Laurence H.
Banks of Ward 9, was the
speaker for the John Calvin FL
deity Union, May 2. The speak
er gave a full report of his bril-
liant legislative record; among
the hard fought contests won
by him was getting the House
to memorialize Congress for a
National FEPC law. The speaker
of the House left his chair to
lead the fight against the
Banks FEPC memorial resolu-
ton, but the Massachusetts,
FEPC HAD BEEN TOO WELL
ROOTED IN THE HEARTS OF
DECENT LEGISLATORS FOR
THE SPEAKER TO DEFEAT
THE Banks resolution. Repre-
sentative Banks is trying to
serve not only ward 9, but is
sharing his elective Office with
citizens throughout Massachu-
sets whenever an emergency
arises.
A Springfield barber was re-
fused his license because a
State departmental head Elk
AGGERATED the qualifications
for the licenses. When it was
learned that Mr.. Banks was not
just a lawuer but a legislator,
the barber was courteously CIV
en- his license. Representative
Banks is much concerned about
the acute housing conditions in
Ward 9 and Massachusetts.
He is a member Of the legis-
lative Constitutional Law Coo
mittee and the very powerful
Rules Committee. He was &C
corded the historical honor of
being Speaker of the Hous for
one day and his parliamentary
direction of legislation merited
praises from many veteran leg
islators.

M0THER-LOVE

What do we understand by
the term "mother-love": and
why is it regarded so highly by
humanity? 1t is because moth
er-love manifests unselfshness,
willing service, purity, constan-
cy, readiness to forgive, unread
mess to take offense; in fact,
all the elements of the wonder-
full quality described in the
thirteenth chapter of Paurs
first letter to the Corinthians.
A mothers love is unselfsh
because it is never tired of serv-
ing. Nothing is too much trou-
Bile, whether or not anything is
received in return. It's purpose
is to give, and it is little con-
cerned with getting. It's great
est JOY is derived from seeing
the beloved ones free and hap
py.
Who has not seen a busy
mothers face light up as she
watches her child at play, or
listens with loving sympathy to
something the child has come
to tell hero And who so readily
opens comforting arms when
consolation is needed? The
prophet Isaiah must have rec
ognized this quality when he
represented God as saying, "As
one whom his mother comfort
eth, so will I comfort you.
When a child has been dis
obedient, mother-loye is not
weaned from the child. Rather
is 1t found waiting for the least
sign Of repentance on the part
Of the erring one, ready to give
encouragement and fresh OPP
portunity to do better. Mother
love does not say: I trusted you
ones; I cannot trust you again.
Being patient she is afforded
fresh opportunities every hour.
If the child be irritable, DISC
bedient or wilful, mother-love
knows that the child is simply
not himself for the moment.
So, where another might return
anger for anger the mother,
who realizes pure mother-love,
pours forth all the more gentle
ness and patient tenderness, till
the error is dissolved

CITIZEN JOE ON 81 AM AN
AMERICAN DAY.

I'm an American and, as an
American, there are things
I believe things no man
or party or government can
change without doing wrongand
going wrong.
/ believe the man sitting neyt
to me in the bus, the man at
the factory bench, the banker in
his office, the editor at his desk,
the minister in his pulpit is MY
neighbor and worth as much to
God as l am. When I went to
school, I was taught men are
created free and equal. I believe
that and, as an American, I'm
against the agitators who want
to drive some of our people ont
because they don't like their
race or religion or the country
that they came from. That
sounds to me like thu stuff Hit
Ter peddled-and we don't have
any place in America for any
thing like that.
I don't see what a mans race
Or religion has got to do with it.
We're all human beings made by
the same God. We all have the
same life. We all suffer from
the same things-and what
makes one man happy is likely
to make everyone happy.
I Certainly wouldn't like it if
anyone spoke against the people
Of my race or my religion and
tried to drive them out of
America. So-I'm treating other
people the way I want them to

treat me, That's the only kind
Of real Americanism there is
and it's the only kind we have
room for in this country.
And I want to say something
else. AS an American I don't
believe in talking down business
men-or capitalists, as some call
them. That's communist talk
which divides our people along
class lines. With business it's
the same as it is with races and
religions. You judge a man for
what he is-by what he says and
does-not by the class he be
longs to. We must keep our
people united if it's strong
America we want. That's what
want as an American-aGd
so I'm against spreading hate
about any race, religion, or
class.
And I don't think it's enough
just to be AGAINST hate. l
believe we must be FOR democ-
racy and a united America. So
I fight for it. And don't think
1 haven't a lot of company
good company-because I GER
tainly have. I'm part of the
majority on this question Of
keeping America united ard
free of hate of one group for an
other. Most Americans think as
do about that. Our big job is
to stick together. We must not
let the fascists and communists
divide us. And that's what were
doing, too-just sticking togeth-
