 Thursday we met ScoutmaSter B. G. Baker and the rest of the troop at Pilgrim Springs station. Then we all hiked to Pilgrim Springs which is about eight miles. The men carried guns be- cause it was told that there was a big brown bear in the vicinity.
 When we got to the springs we couldn't cross because the river was too high and the boat was on the other side.
 That night we put up a lean-to and spent the night across the river from the Springs.
 The next morning we hiked back to the railroad and headed for Iron Creek.
 We spent Friday at the road house and went fishing Saturday, but few fish were caught.

Dear Joe
BLUE DISCHARGES
By JAMES L. HICKS

Don't let anyone tell you that
because you have a blue discharge
you are not entitled to benefits
under the CT Bill of Rights. In
most cases, if you take your case
up with the Veterans Administra-
tion you will come out with the
same rights that the Joes with the
honorable discharges have.
The House Veterans Affairs
Committee takes the view that in
framing Public Law 346 (GI Bill
1T was the view of Congress that
benefits should not be denied a vet
eran, who, because of some minor
offense, was given a discharge other
than honorable but that benefits
should not be extended to a per
son, who, although not dishonor-
ably discharged, nevertheless was
separated from the service under
dishonorable conditions because of

we know 1t today. More than I
who later became the greatest ad-
vocate Of the Cause Of Christ,
under a new name, Paul, came
near converting the world to Chris
tianity. The Golden Age Of Chris
tianity may be said to be the hour
Of Sauls becoming the Paul we
Of later generations know about.
The greatest contribution TO the
solution Of the sO-called race prob
lem in America, and in the deep
South particularly, will be brought
about by Southern white people
once the impossible feat Of con-
Verting them TO acceptance Of d.
rectiOn from God in the field Of
race and human relations is
achieved.
For the next half century that
might well be the objective Of men
Of God, particularly the individual
men Of God among colored people.
One man who dares to practice the
tenets handed down from God to
n decadent world, through the man
ifestatiOns Of God, can turn the
course Of human relations in any
community.
The Negro has demonstrated in
the field Of science, literature, poll
tics, business, arts, industry, in
ventions, and philosophy and in
the bloody trenches of war that he
is the equal Of the best in any other
racial group. This, Of course, makes
him no better nor worse than the
best or the worst in any other
group. But it is my feeling that
he will make his greatest cOntri-
button TO the evolvement Of man.
kind and incidentally his own racial
group in proportion as he demon
strates that under all circum-
stances he Is determined to walk
with God at all cost-even his life.
II he can achieve such surrender,
God through him can convert the
white SRuls Of the South into Pauls
who will strive with equal fervOr
to initiate the Golden Age in the
South.
Everywhere in the deep South,
we have an abundant supply of
men who have a religion about
God, but very few possess the re-
ligion Of God. We have a host Of
blacks and whites who are loyal
in their effort to be good, but for
the most part, their goodness is
good for nothing. 1t lacks courage.
1t is not spendable. It can not be
spent. 1t is a farce. 1t is the soil
in which division and darkness is
nurtured.
Here, in the South, the need Is
greater for active men Of God than
anywhere else In the world. make
this statement because l agree with
the renowned Persian religiOnist
who says that America Is destined
to lead the world spiritually and
that this leadership will be most
effective II II stems from the South.
Whatever it is that makes men
so void Of real Goodness in the
so-called Bible Belt is the star
which tells US where to concen-
trate in our efforts on getting the
Pauls from among the Sauls to
crusade for the Golden Age Of the
South and begin the establishment
Of not only the lesser but also the
greater peace for mankind every
where.
Men Of God when found in the
field OF leadership lead other men
to build and find for themselves a
richer and fuller life by seeking
that sort Of thing for others rather
than for themselves. Such men also
recognize that to accept or seek

benefits for themselves or any par
ticular group, based on race, creed
or color, at the expense Of others
kills a man just as thoroughly as
neglected cancer, tuberculosis, or
heart disease OF a dose Of hot lead
from a machine gun.
This is indeed an age which de-
mands great living Of individuals
who not only preach against unfair
employment practices, but are fair
in their dealings with their fellow
men; men who are just as strong
in their advocacy Of the application
Of pure old-fashioned American
ism to all Americans as they are
against the spread Of Communism;
men who will support consecrated
missionaries, who labor to rear up
and support an army Of men and
women in various walks Of life who
dedicate themselves to liberating
the ignorant, superstitious, diseased
and those who are economically en-
shaved in the deep South.
This is a task which will require
not less than 20 years, if enlighten-
ed men Of good will by the thou
sands all over the nation will dedi-
cate themselves to this most i'm
pOrtant responsibility. The eradi-
cation Of Southernism seems to
me to be just as essential to the
peace Of the world as the making
Of America immune to Communism
is essential to the preservation of
government by the people, of the
people and for the people.
Looking at the Southern scene
as a whole, you have little to build
on in the SOuth's leaders-whites
or blacks-but we must build on
the little that we do have. Good
men Of courage who translate their
goodness and courage into action on
a scale comparable to Paul's effort
to convert the world to Christ Is
the great need.
These men may die at Nero's
chopping block as it were, but if
their effort is spent converting the
ungodly in the deep South and the
nation to goodness as supreme rule
Of action and living in their rela-
tionship with all the people Of the
South there will be a beginning
Of Americas redemption from its
crime against humanity committed
when it, with force and trickery,
robbed the Indians of their lands
and enslaved my ancestors. That
too, will mark the beginning of
the Golden Age of the South.
