which congress will consider at its
next session.
Hoover has served in many other
useful public capacities since he left
the White House. He can afford to.
Indeed, he not only spent consider
able sums out of his private funds
on secretarial and research assist
ance when he was secretary of
commerce. and later in the White
House, but he also voluntarily
turned back a part of his salary as
President in 1882 when, under the
Economy act. the salaries of all
government employees were cut
Franklin Roosevelt also turned
back part of his salary under that
same act, and later, in 1943. when
he was advocating a $4,000 ceiling
on all salaries, FDR again volun-
tarily refunded to the treasury a
portion of his own.
But not all presidents are born
with, or acquire, silver spoons.
Few could afford the luxury Of
working for nothing and so.
when they leave office most
have to look around for job.
Fortunately, former President
William Howard Taft, in the years
before he was called back to Uncle
Sans workbench as chief justice
of the supreme court, possessed
enough of the worlds goods so that
he could afford to render at least
semi-public services teaching in the
Harvard law school position
which a man of slenderer means
might have had to turn down in
favor of a higher salary from some
purely private enterprise. His son.
Sen. Robert Taft, mentioned this
recently when he suggested that
former presidents should receive a
substantial pension, perhaps $685.
900 year"
Ex-presidents also should have
the privileges of the senate floor.
Taft believes, with the right to
speak, but not to vote, on pending
legislation. In so honoring them
the nation would benefit.
Coolidge might or might not
have welcomed an opportunity
to take on some governmental
responsibility after his presiden-
tial term expired. AS it was,
he accepted lucrative position
with an insurance company and
continued his private law prac-
tice as well until he died.
Most presidents leave the White
House poorer than when they went
in. Franklin Roosevelt wrote a
$4,000 personal check every month
to meet White House expenses, and
other recent residents have estimat-
ed that they had to 60 down into the
old sock to the tune of $500 a
year over and above what the gov
ernment gives them, to meet the
cost of living in the executive. man.

KEEPING THE SEVENTH DAY
HOLY

dOLI
An aged couple living in
small village of the State of
Kansas entertained me over a
weekend. The custom they cher
ish and preserve of making pre-
paration for the observance Of
the Lords Day brought back
memories Of early days of my
youth and helped me to see that
If one longs for Sabbath Rest, he
must pay the price.
Right after the evening meal
this couple began to make prep
aration for keeping the Lords
Day. Water was heated in tea
kettle and pots, the galvanized
iron tub was brought in, and one
by. one the inmates of this home
had their baths. MY turn came.
I enjoyed the dip and felt no re-
sentiment for want of the mod
ern bath tub. The truth is-with
the coming of the bath room the
human race has been losing the
fine discipline of Tub Night.
In this humble home most of
Sundays dinner had been cook
ed by Saturday night. The clean
linen had been laid out, and
everyone anticipated the coming
of Sabbath. Saturday was home
night, the night Of getting ready
to meet the Lord in a big way
on the Lords Day. Every mind
was set on going to some church.
And the blessing of Sabbath Rest
began to brood over that simple
home long before Sunday came.
We were caught up in the
spirit of the Lords day before
Sabbath came. The day when it
oaWned was one of icy and glad
ness and peace because of the
physical and mental preparation
ALREADY made. Sabbath Day in
Rosedale, Kansas. was OF a diff
ferent brand. Every body started

The National Citizens Council
has three detectives. 1t believes
first that the recommendations
of the Report of the Presidents
Committee on Civil Rights must
be fought for in leach mans
backyard" Communities, large
and small, throughout the coun-
try must take responsibility for
winning recognition of the rights
of those Americans who, as yet,
in some areas, are deprived Of
the opportunity to exercisetheir
rights fully. The Council will find
a lot of support. All over this
country there are people who not
only will fight for human rights
but who have already given a
a good account of themselves
Sometimes we GO not hear about
then. But without them there
would be no victories for Amer
lean ideals.
The National Councils second
objective is stated thus, 'eFhis
