many parts Of the Bible, its appli-
cation in all relationships apart
from the written word" was
stressed as being that which we
must make the common denomina-
tor of all our activities. He pointed
out that he hoped the Negro would
never cease to regard walking with
God as the paramount duty of the
individual, the nation and mankind.
MethOdists Praised
The Methodist Church was
praised for what it is doing in
an organized way TO further the
cause Of peace. He said the
Baptists are doing some good
individually but not as much as
they might in an organized way.
1t was good to hear Mr.. Wallace
make this report, for most people
who see conditions and people in
the South for what they are have
grown to feel that there is little
place in the white Christian
churches for the living word" and
few of the leaders are permitted
or have the courage to dare advo-
cate the Giving word" On the
race question, unhOly traditions,
mores and the law Of the oppressor
are given a higher place than the
law Of God. Here is the great task
confronting the Church South as
it works for peace.
Millions agree with Mr.. Wallace
that there are those who want to
make war for selfish reasons, to be
fought by little people. AS we are
driven toward a final world war
by those who want to spend and
be spent for charity abroad and
not at home, we are, meantime, be-
ing manipulated into a depression
which can only be averted by a
united struggle for universal peace
and universal brotherhood.
To this, Negroes should contrib
ute their all, for as we move into
a manufactured depression, colored
people, as is always the case of a
minority group, will feel the pinch
first, suffer most and longest. In
their being rejected" | see the
day coming when they may be
called upon, if prepared, as those
who have evolved most in suffering
in this business of the living
word" to become the chief corner
stone in the house of peace.

Dear Joe
POST WAR ITEM
By JAMES L. HICKS

You can do anything you want
to do to a veteran these days now
that the nOncombatants have re-
gained their nerve. For instance:
The Senate Civil Service Com
mittee last Tuesday unanimously
voted to report favorably a bill
which would make it necessary for
veterans to pass Civil Service
examinations before they would be
given extra points because they
are veterans.
You see, Joe, as it is now if you
make a grade of IS on Civil
Service exam you can still get a
government job even though you
failed the exam because your vet
preference gives you five points
which brings you up to 10.
Well, it seems that some of the
boys are getting Jobs too regularly
that way so this new bill will make

Falls Junior High
Begins Monday

Monday the AZ eighth and As
seventh graders in Columbia Falls
will start classes at 8:45 instead of
9 m as the new junior high school
is officially underway.
Teachers in addition to Princi-
pal Ralph Magnuson are Mrs Mar
cha Crum, Mrs Violet Carter and
Mrs Gayle Shefloe, who has just
been employed.
Creation of a junior high was
considered necessary in view of the
increased grade school enrollments,
and the system will allow for con-
siderable additional students.
1t is an accepted method of tea
ching seventh and eighth graders
where enrollments are too large for
one teacher to one classroom. The
instruction is also considered sup
erior for upper classes with the
teachers specializing and teach
ing four or five subjects instead
of eight and nine as is the case
where one teacher has one class
room.
Mrs Lillian Dougherty will
teach a combined fifth and sixth
grade instead of a combined fifth
and seventh grade.
