BY ). A. (Jaek) Johnson

AS we go to press this week, a
Republican controlled Congress is
playing political football with the
destiny of all minority group
Americans. Called into special SEES
sion by President Truman to con-
slider first of all the high cost of
living and the danger of initiation,
serious situation that concerns
all Americans, the Republicans in
stead introduced the anti-poll tax
bill to purposely allow Southern
Dixiecrats to filibuster and waste
time so that no good of any kind
can result from the special SEES
sion. The question before us now
is, will we be fooled by such tao
tics? The answer to this question
is yes II we fail to register and
be ready to vote at the coming
election.
All over the nation registration
has already reached its highest
peak. More people will vote in
l94S than ever before. The nation
Is sure to get a majority express
sion from its citizens than ever be-
fore in all its history. It is our
job to be on hand, registered and
ready to cast our ballots and be a
part OF that majority. Registration
for the primary election closes

She seemed reposed in all her

pain, mute evidence of devine
peace. She faced her Maker, with
out having suffered the least bit
of pain. Her final preparation for
retiring, her outstretched arms,
her eyes looking heavenward was
her response to her winged mes

That midst thy leaves of healing
My soul shall find her nest,
Where the wicked cease from

And the weary are at rest.
