Observations

In this age of striving for sup
eriority, rather than the Joy of
accomplishment, l notice a prac-
tise of closing the door of hope in
the face Of many an aspirant for
knowledge, and I think it is very
unfair to the public. What l
mean is the general refusal of
music teachers to take pupils who
are not already good. So often /
hear of teachers who, hold audi
tons of prospective pupils to de-
termine whether to accept them
or not. These teachers ca nnever
experience the joy of following,
lesson by lesson, the growing Of
the human voice into an instru-
ment which will eventually per-
form according to the accepted
standard. / like to train voices,
and the more they need train
ing, the greater the challenge, and
the more enjoyment 1 feel as they
grow in beauty and placement. /
have never closed the door Of
hope in the face of any one who
wished to sing. I cannot promise

can guarantee, with your CO.
operation to improve you, and en-
courage you to enjoy what voice
the Creator gave you. Come in

Your gentle face and patient

With sadness I recall.
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
The voice is mute and stilled the
heart
That loved me well and true.
Oh, bitter was the trial to part
From one so good as you.
Getting used to being lonesome
That's the hardest cross to
bear.
Getting used to all the heart
aches
You were once so glad to share.
But it's sweet to know we'll meet
again
Where parting is no more.
And my dear Joe-Joe I loved so

And whispers-hush, he only

your face
The face / loyed so well.
Some Gay, some time, I'll clasp
your hand,
And never say farewell.

tive land against a tyranny
which promised to destroy AM
erica and the whole free world.
They did together what they
had determined to do. They de-
troyed the tyranny. They won
the victory.
Who are these dead? For what
did they win the victory? Was it
victory to reestabLsh the old
hatred between religions, races,
and classes? Victory to return to
the prejudices and dissentions
which mock and divide us?
They did not die for that -
they who marched side by side
as Americans, and fought that
way and died that way-without
regard 10 any mans race, reli-
gion, or color.
While they breathed they
had a right to believe that we
would honor them and secure
their victory by living as they
had fought - all races, all re-
ngions united in the common
purpose of keeping America free
for all her sons. They had q
right to expect that.
They died together that we
might live together in the
same towns, the same factories,
the same schools = in dignity
and without fear.

Ghandi Teaches Resistance
= by Non-Violence.
Ghandi is called Mahatma.
The word means "a Great Soul"
He's the worlds most beloved
human being. Perhaps he's hu-
manity's best lover. While not a
profeSsed Christian, he more
nearly reflects the crystal spirit
of Christ than any of his follow
erS. If any man ever became
poor that humanity might be-
come rich that man is Ghandi.
He willingly shoulders his cross
to win freedom for his people,
and his considering is helping
to save India. He desires freedom
for his people paSSionately. Again
his love for freedom has cost him
hunger, imprisonment, floggings.
He believes in suffering for the
things held dear,
His fertile Imagination con-
ceived of the plan of waging a
campaign of passive resistance
against the mighty British EN-
pire. 1t seemed madness and his
best friends thought at one
gulp the British lion would swal-
low the mouse. Threats were
many and jail sentences were
given freely, but no amount of
suffering ever stopped this little
man from fighting British ex-
ploitation of his brothers. He
could have been a millionaire
many times over, if he had only
looked the other way and left
his brothers at the mercy of the
British lion. The only weapon he
went forth to slay this beast
with was the sword of truth

Board Referendum

A referendum on the selection of

Adding support to the previous
similar request of the County Citi-
zens' Committee for School I'm
provement, Mrs. Brown, in letter
to Gov. Tuck, urged that the ques-
ton be placed on the agenda of the
special session of the State Legis-
lature.
Since the schools of a community
touch the lives of every citizen SO
closely" Mrs. Brown said, sit seems
but the essence of democracy that
the voters should be allowed to ex-
press an opinion through the ballot
as to how they wish their school
board members named.
II strongly hope, therefore, that
you will place before the special
session the question of referendum
on this matter, allowing the voters
in county such as Arlington to
say whether they wish to retain
the present system of appointment
of School Board members by a School
Electoral Board named by the
Judge of the Circuit Court, whether
they favor appointment of School
Board members by the County
Board, or whether they favor direct
election of School Board members. >
