country, and believing that the
unity of this order was one way,
for him to express himself, and to
offer us the knowledge of his ex-
;periences..--for his experiences,
and his knowledge was what we
believe the bases for the better

Negro of today. The loss of these
two Brothers is a great loss to our
Order, and a great loss to our Soc

weapon with which we try to shoot
our way out of next impasse.
And when the shooting starts, the
minorities suffer.
So we Americans must do 2 two
things, First, we must be on our
guard against the military even as
our liberty-minded forefathers
were. Second, we must THINK
our way through the difficult pro-
blems which lie ahead and not wait
until we come to the end of our
blind alley, and then try to shoot
our way out. Our way must be the
way of unity and cooperation.

NEW YORK, CP)-Tip for what it's worth: our old pal MT. Reli- able Source says if Bernie Moore has good season at Louisiana State tand the grads will moan louder than the recent hurricane if he doesn't, don't expect him to be around for another. Sever al pro football teams have been flirting with the veteran L.S.U. coach and Bernie is about to look coquettish and drop his hanky. California golfers are looking for big things from Ron Livingston, l6-year-old San Gabriel high school kid who can shoot in the low 70's. When fullback Ted FritSch reported at the Green Bay Packers training camp he entered the luxurious lodge lugging a bootblack and shouted: Come and get it, boys. Five cents a shine and don't forget l got conces- sion." A couple of fumbles and he'll need it.

And certainly the seats at home are softer. Jim Tatum has had a nine-f foot board fence built around Maryland's "se- cret" football practice field. Sup pose they'll call the place the Ia tum Patch?

Feature Story
 Brings Big Scare To Delano, Minn.

DELANO, Minn. PA)-They'Ve pinned the title "Orson Welles of Minnesota" on John F. Tischler, editor of the Eagle here because Tischler, as far as Delano is con- cerned, developed as much local hysteria as the Welles Man From Mars" broadcast.
 It all started when Tischler sat down to write a feature story a couple of weeks ago. News was light and he found himself with vacant front-page spot.
 Sc he wrote:
 "Denalo police trapped a des- perado here Saturday noon but he was killed as he resisted attempts 10 subdue him. "A companion. who had evidently become suspicious of the trap. escaped and is still at large. although the police are on the lookout for him. He is believed 10 be lurking in this vicinity.
 Dead, as a result of a severe clubbing over the head. is Arcto- mys Monax, who had a long rec ord of violations.
 Residents in Brooklyn along the highway near the railroad tracks had reported a number of minor thefts, but little was thought of the events until Miss Lucy Fon- fara spied Monax and a compan- ion acting in a suspicious manner near her chicken coop Friday noon.
 Miss Fonfara called the police but by the time the officers arrived on the scene. the culprits disap- peared. After consultation. they sci an elaborate trap.
 At noon Saturday, Monax emerged from his hiding and walked right into the police. Flu rious at being trapped, Monax made a desperate fight for free dom, but officer Luffey clubbed him on the head, causing his death. Because of the overwhelm- ing evidence against the desper- ado. no inquest into his death was held"
 When the paper hit the street, the town went into an uproar. Women hurried home, barred their doors and windows, spent a rest less night, fearful that the com panion of Monax might try to find refuge in their homes, Tischler claims.
 Some of the men in town. he adds. were forming a posse. Others wanted 10 visit the mayor and urge the removal of the police chief for his brutality.

 Tuberculosis kills more persons between the ages of l5 and 45 than any other disease. In the age group l5-24 it kills one and one half as many women as men
 When we walk we take 25 breaths a minute; when we run we take 50 deep breaths a minute; when we lie in bed we take 10 shallow breaths per minute. Thus bed rest gives the lungs afflicted with tuberculosis a chance to heal.
 In tuberculosis control there are two fundamentals. First, find the person who has the disease; and second, prevent the spread of the disease to others. If these two fun damntals were applied in their proper relationship, there is no reason why tuberculosis could not be eradicated from Alaska within a few decades.
 A cold fact about tuberculosis: Eight out of ten who enter the sanatorium for treatment are in an advanced stage.
 Many of the plaques that once wiped out thousands of lives have been eradicated, tuberculosis has never given man any peace. Slow ly, however, this old, treacherous enemy is being forced to give ground.
 Tuberculosis does not Just hap pen. It is passed from person to person and the close contacts of family life make the spread of the disease difficult to control. That is why early diagnosis is import ant.

humorous misunderstanding of

my dear cousin,
ut has been wonderful to take
out off your box five pounds of
sugar and five pounds of flour,
milk, coffee, and want the cho-
colate. Oh, what they had been
glad then they saw cocoa in
their cups, my four children.
The boy is very sick and there
fore he got it also. Our so>,p for
dinner is now always a little
sweet by sugar and the dinner
in the evening when our father
is coming home always gets a
little fat. My mother got also
fat, sugar, egg powder. The sick
son got today a teaspoon full of
egg powder mixed with a little
sugar-beautiful.
