few Of many. First Of all. you are
going to have to approach these
problems with the idea Of putting
something Of yourself into the eff
fort Of their solution as well as
getting something out Of II. You
are going TO have to give Of your
time, your energy, your ideas, your
money, and. for the most part, you
won't get many thanks for your
efforts.
What specifically can you do
about better government? You
can do everything within your
power TO see that every member
Of your community II informed
Of the issues and has the OppOr-
tunity TO vote and participate in
governmental activity. This
means work. II means keeping
fully informed yourself. II means
nominating and eleetinR TO Office
candidates who are Trustworthy
and who will not serve a few
special interests.
What specifically can you do to
rid your country Of It's slums and
to provide decent homes for your
fellow citizen? You can get the
facts on housing in your commun-
ity and you can work up some
interest in getting something done
about il. There are various gov
ernmental ARencies-federal, state,
and lOcal-that can help you. But
remember that II Is you who are
going to have to carry the ball.
When you personally would be
willing TO live and raise your fam
lily In the poorest house in your
community, you can consider your
job Is done.
What specifically can you do to
protect the rights Of labor in your
own community? The first thing
you can do is to get the truth about
labor. and the labor organizations
In your community and, for the
most part, you will have to go
beyond the daily press to do IT,.
You can help your fellow workers
to organize and bargain collective

ing are rights and not privileges.
What can you do specifically to
protect and extend civil liberties
You can be on your guard against
public officers who overstep their
lawful bounds. BE vigilant but not

member that laws are designed to
serve the needs Of men and not the
reverse.
There are many more things
that religious youth can do and

TO do something, 20 take an ae-

the Bennings Heights housing prof.
ect Of Washington, d. c.. in good
stead these days. When the boys
found that vandals were stealing
the coin boxes in the projects in
dividual Bendix laundry machines,
they got together. organized and
told the manager Of the project to
place all the laundry machines in
one place under lock and key. 1t
worked.
Encouraged by their success they
went back to the manager and
asked for one Of the laundry rooms
for use as recreation room for
the project. It worked again, and
the boys set it up along the lines
Of a CT Day" room complete with
ping pong balls and what have you.
Feeling their strength they then
called on the Recreation commits
sion Of the District Of Columbia to
provide their project with a full
time recreation worker for the day
room. In a few days Ito their sur
priSe) the recreation worker was
assigned to the job.
Somebody then heard that one
Of the excl tenants had a piano
in storage because his CT home
was too small for the piano. A COM
mittee paid him a call, persuaded
him to get the piano out Of storage
and put 1t In the day room. A
Howard University music student
moved into the project. The COM
mittee promptly had him organize
a band composed Of tenants in the
project.
On Valentine Day the vet group
will hold its first dance in the
wreck hall" The dance is already
a sell-out. You see, somebody ru-
mored that some tenants might OBJ

daneers-so the energetic commit
tee went to work once more and
