St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1947-08-08

OF you VINO already are members OF
the club are reminded that under
no circumstances can your mem
bership extend more than a total
Of 81 weeks. II you draw 500 a
week for only part of the 52-week
period you had better start look
ing around for a job now because
you can only draw it again for the
unused portion Of your 52-week
entitlement, despite the fact that
the benefits extend to July 25, 1919.
Incidentally, the 1920 club had
1874, 900 members in May. Uncle
Sam paid them $55, 726, 900 for be-
ing gentlemen of leisure.
INSURANCE: The July 20 date
does not affect your National Serv-
ice Life Insurance. The deadline for
reinstating your lapsed insurance
policy without a physical exam is
still Aug. l, 1913. What the He'll
are you waiting for, Joe?)
TERMINAL LEAVE: The July
25 date has no effect on your ter
minal leave pay. The deadline for
applying is still Sept. l, 1913.
Incidentally, you can cash that
terminal leave bond on Sept. /,
next. President Truman signed the
bill to give you the right just one
day after he signed the bill ending
the wartime laws. In signing the
bill, however, the President warned
if you don't need the cash imme-
diately it's to your best interest
not to cash your bond just now.
TEMPORARY HOUSING: If
you happen to be living in one Of
those fancy temporary houses
which the Government put up on
Government land to house veterans,
you had better start now looking
for another place to sleep.
You see, Joe, some Of the nice
civilian property owners have OBJ
jected to the huts you live in being
placed so close to their palatial
mansions and two years after July
rs all such huts located on Govern
ment property must be torn down
and removed.
Where you gonna live, did you
say? Don't let it worry you, Joe.
If things keep on like they are
going now you probably will be
bivouacked somewhere in Russia!
1--WE choose our newspapers, our
magazines and our books based
upon individual prejudice. 1t is
an easy step from prejudice to hate
and from individual hate to group
hates. The person who promotes
discord thoughtlessly or in ignor-
ance needs to be enlightened in
the harmonious processes Of a
democratic society" Lloyd E.
Graybiel, vice president of the
American Trust Co.
Take the matter of languages.
Laugh all you want to, but the
best way for a man to learn any
language is to have female teach
err. And if you just happen to be
holding hands or lying in a wheat
field or spending a weekend in your
teachers apartment in Brussels or
Paris-why you just naturally
learn your lesson faster and re-
member it longer than if you
studied in a classroom" Ollie
Stewart, former war correspondent.
The Southern Conference for
Human Welfare is the principal
discrimination against Southern ne
groes in politics. Were it not so,
they would gang up in the negro
political parties. That they scorn
to do. They treat Southern negro
parties with contempt. They in
sist upon staying and voting in
a party that would admit negroes
but be dominated by white men
And they would expect to have
as allies the minority Of negroes
wherewith to gain control of the
party machinery" Charleston
News and Courier (smAll ms their
own).
