SUNSHINE"
BY Mrs. Nellie Maye Taylor

Hello there, here and every
where. These cool evenings and
brisk mornings are treat from
the gods which we all appreciate.
Isn't it wonderful to live in the
present. And not dwell in the
thoughts of yesterday and yester-
year. Sometimes that is why we
fail to grow, spiritually and men
tally because we dwell too much
in the past. Each day we can be-
gin anew. Forget and remember at
will. Things worthwhile are easily
forgotten, more so than things not
worth while. For instance a funny
joke can more easily be remem-
bered than a line from the Bible
or Shakespeare, That is the way
we train our minds, or our men
tality. It is strange but is true.
The capacity of each one of us is
limited, yet it is amazing how much
can be accomplished with what
abilities we have. once heard an
old adage, which said, take what
you have and make what you want
out of it," Many voice has been
improved from the instruction of a
capable instructor. The size and
color of a person has nothing to
do with his ability. We must get it
in our minds that today will soon
be yesterday, and yesterday is gone
forever and ever. The Supreme
courts decision rendered void the
76 year old law against intermar-
IMAGE. There is no need in anyone
telling people not to marry be-
cause of their color. That should
be left to the individual since they
will have to live with one another.
I think that should be included in
the four freedoms, marry or love
whom you wish or desire" After
all love is not based wholly on col
or, it is mostly on tradition. Our
thought for today, "When a man
begins to understand himself he be-
gins to live. When he begins to live
he begins to understand his fellow
men,"
Bye Now-So long-'til then.

Our good friend Editor Doc
Benson just called me. Wanted to
know where my letter of the week
was. Should have been in yester-
day. So this will of necessity be
short and sweet. Anyway short.
Haven't been doing much, but
manage to keep busy early and
late.
That rain washed out all had
to say. Or did you notice? / mean
the me of the sign board out front
of Reddy's Corner. All that 1 was
saying -Campaignin'? Nope
just needin' your business 1 had
thought that some one might just
think that was running for Dog
Catcher or something. L wanted to
put them straight. All I'm here for
is to serve yOu. I'll leave politics to
someone else for the time being,
anyway.
Had some pictures taken of the
place. The photographer had q
hard time getting the picture, too
much business he said. Too many
people coming in and ont Of the
front door. That's all he knows
about it. We like to see you come.
We really didn't need a picture any
way. Speaking of pictures. There
is quite q contrast between ReddyS'
Corner today and the picture
printed in the Sun last week. We
will have a picture for you soon in
the Sun of the place as it is today.

School Building At
Magnolia Raced BY
Fire, $4,000
Loss

Magnolia, Ark. = Firemen here
battled a blazing fire for three
hours in sub-freezing temperatures
in an effort to save the $4,000
Race School which was destroyed
with the exception of the adjoining
Home Economics and Agricultural
buildings.
1t is believed that the fire ORR
ginated from an electrical short,
apparently caused by falling tree
limbs broken under the weight of
ice. Because of the inclement wea-
Their, Magnolia was isoated for
several days without electricity
and telephone service. Highways
were impossible, which delayed the
report of the fire.
1t was reported by School Of
ficials that the School was insured
for $4,000.

Celebrated 112
Birthday

Elgin, III. = Mr.. Robert "Uncle
Bob" Wilson, Veteran of the Con-
federate Army, observed his 10Th
birthday anniversary Tuesday with
big cake and party, but he
says his best birthday gift is a
half-dollar.
The so cent piece was sent by
Gov. Green to replace similar
coin the governor gave Uncle Bob
five years ago during the Gov
errors tour of the Elgin State
Hospital, where Uncle Bob lives in
the veterans ward.
The first coin was ''for tobacco"
bat Uncle Bob refused to spend it.
He proudly displayed it to visitors,
but lost it a few weeks ago, and
had been disconsolate as a result.
Uncle Bob has been very feeble
but still manages to read the BIZ
BILE daily. He was born a slave
on January 1885, the hospital
said Confederate records showed.
Mr.. Henry Watson, an employee
of the Confederate Institution and
a brother of Mr.. E. S. Scott of
this city is responsible for the
above information.

Anti-Segregation

Jefferson City - Representative
William MSssingal, Dmocrat of
st. Louis, Mo-, one of four Race
Members in the House recently
sponsored a Bill to prohibit racial
or color segregation in Missouri's
public places.
The bill itroduced in the House
will not, said Mr.. Maksingale,
change the states policy of pro-
viding separate educational facil-
tiles, but it would permit equal
rights in hotels, tourist camps, re-
sorts, restaurants, gymnasiums,
theaters, bowling alleys and bill
lard parlors. (
Any violation of the proposed
bill would be a misdemeanor, and

Alabama Governor
May Be Aiming
At Third Party
Vice-President

Montgomery, Ala, CAMP what
Gov. James E. Folsom is up to in
announcing his intention to bid
for the Democratic nomination has
Alabama political circesl puzzled.
Some think that the bid is really
a test to see whether things are
favorable for him to get a vice
president post on Henry A. Wal
lace's third party ticket.
Folsom, who has been one of
Wallace's supporters for years,
made his announcement in a rad
10 address here last Wednesday
when he vastigated President Tru-
man for his leadership of the DEM
ocratic party. Not only are Ala
bamians wondering about the pres
idential bid, but they want to know
Folsoms stand in the state party S
projected battle against any pro-
posal to remove racial barriers
in the south.
When Folsom appeared before
the state Democratic executive
committee, he ignored the racial
isue, but did express opposition to
any move to pull away from the
national party.
He rode to the governorship in
1916 on the support of the CIO,
which has a mixed white and Ne
gro membership. However, the ex-
ecutive committee laid advanced
but thorough plans to Combat any
attempt to disturb the South's ira
ditional segregation cusoms, If
Folsom or any cher person should
move along that course.

choosing Sylvan Hills as a place

her made me forget about the

She said 'Pediatrics". Not know
