in one Of our columns a pun OF drag
about the other and their work, al
though we really were friends. To
the public we wers-well a mess.
Georgia has really been on the
beam since she left st. Paul. Here
Is good idea Of what she has
accomplished,in the short time she
has been gone and believe you me
it Is something to crow about.
She Is CO-EditOr Of the Bulldog
Sentinel, a school paper; columnist
for the California Eagle, and Fea-
ture Writer In the Destiny Maya
zine. and has been elected Youth
Editor for the Bee-H a new
youth magazine on the order Of the
Ebony. She also has feature ar
ticles, fashions, and In charge Of
the interviewing Of music notables,
such rs Herb Jefferies, Ha d d a
Brooks. Louie Jordan. and Lena
Horne. GEORGIA intends to en-
ter UCLA this fall.
After reading what she has done
IN such u short time NC can see
just how most Of US are standing
still while the world moves on. The
majority Of US usually use the ex-
cuse, well. just don't have the
time for this and that" but you
can bet your bottom dollar that II
we don't have time for the things
we say we haven't time for, we
must be awfully lazy. II we but
have time for the things that are
expected Of us we would find that
we are not worked very hard.
GEORGIA will pay us all n visit
this June and am sure she will
find II the same ole $3.50 place.

A note to all the Minneapolis par
ents: Do not forget the Progressive
Youth City. for soon it will call for
the support Of the parents and per-
sons who are interested in seeing
that this summer and all summers
and winters that things for the
child or juvenile measure up TO fit
place for them TO live and play.
Some Of the fellows and girls
know have had several get togeth-
ers this time for the purpose Of
finding just what is wrong, and
right. II seems that every time
a person or place Of business pro-
vides a place for teen-agers to go
some person as quickly as possible
puts a stop to it. and many 9TH
ers feel that rather than some per-
son always trying to spoil and stop
a deal, they should try TO help and
start a deal. BY that I mean, in
order for the Teens" TO stay off
the street they have to go some
where and II n place for them is
ok, why stop il? Some Of us
would rather sit at home and talk
about a place than go and see just
what in the devil is the matter with
II. II you think that this will help
your child you are so badly mis-
taken. II is a shame, because by
closing a place on only hear-say,
and telling kids TO stay out Of II,
will do as much good rs telling
John l.. Lewis that wages are too
high, because teen-agers' minds
are capable Of thinking up some
thing else to do.
So my conclusion is. If more Of
US would start trying to find some
place for the cats to go rather than
some place for them not to go,
great trend will have been started.

EARN OR MAKE A LIVING?
by Ruth Toylor

In magazine the other day. come upon this line,
"Do you want to earn living moke lWing?"
Thot cogent question stood cut from the printed
poae In it lies much thon clever sentence In it is
the root of true success Are willing to living
to merit each step odvonce whether it be in employ
ment or the regard of fellow workers. Or do we want
to make living soshing it out, and forcing place tor
ourselves?
If we wont to living, will work at it con-
scentiousy doing fair share OF whatever put before u.s.
not cutting corners cheating turning out shoddy
piece of work The some is with living outside OF
our work IF we people TO like us, will be friendly
courteous fair to all No task will be TOO insignificant tor
we will respect ourselves too much to do bad job.
w want to make living, will carve out place tor
ourselves perhaps scrupulousy We will be putting
ourselves first and subordnotng oil things and all people
to the one end of ambition only, gives even OF
bitterness, breaker full the poet wrote
Most of US wont to living. We come from that
sort of people We have tradition of hard work behind u.s.
of people who broved the unknown to build through the
labor Of their heart and hands home for themselves and
for those to follow
We have had enough of those who wanted to moke
living of the peoples who not willing to ocheye sue
cess by the slow but who wonted to grab for them
selves not "a place in the SUM- but THE place in the sun
We have learned that the appeal of the dctotors LETT
or ruht is to those who do not won't to living They
substitute taking for earning They do not build They de-
stroy.
Whot is true of nations is true of individuals What is
true of individuals is true of notions to What DO
we want to do make a living living?
