Sunshine"
BY Mrs. Nellie Maye Taylor

Hello there, here and every
where. I am sleepy. just can't get
enough of this good sleep these
good, cool and soothing nights. Can
you? Well you better make the
best of them now, because later on
they will be Whee; Oh! bruther
Just wait and see. You should stop
by and see our new office, I think
it is very nice, with venitians, those
things they call blinds, at the win
dows all white and everything. A
desk for the big boss and one for
the little boss, (of course she thinks
she is as big as he is when he IS
out, and I think I am bigger than
both of them when they are both
out. You know how it is to rare
back with your feet on the table,
with a cigar, only my boss is minus
the cigar.) Did you know there is
a place in town where they sell
cars by the pound, different makes
of cars are different prices. l think
the prices are about the equal OF
meat, you know steaks and pork
chops such stuff like that. Every
one is getting worked up as to who
will be President of these United
States. Who ever wins someone
will be dissatisfied. Even if our
Master came down from "up yon-
der" some of us would not be
pleased. Just look at the South who
voted nine to one against the Civil
Rights program. In Texas they
said, Trying to stir up feeling be-
tween blacks and whites and it is
so unnecessary and those Yankees
forget that the whites are superior
to those Coloreds." And in Alaba-
ma, Negroes should not be treated
the same as whites, and the civil
rights program was made without
understanding our peculiar situa-
ton down here. Can you imagine
supposed to be intelligent, educa-
tors and leaders making such state
ments as those, against their own
fellow Americans. S o m n n e
should be done about it but what!
Your guess is as good as mine. They
tell me that Prayer changes things
Suppose we try it just little. Re-
member our fore-parents did and
they had an answer freed from
slavery. Somehow, someway they
knew that things would brighten
for them someday. They knew il
they didn't live to see the day OF
Freedom their children would
That is how the only true Ameri-
can Music was born which will live
through the ages, "The Spirituals.'
Through prayer the hearts of those
in power were touched and we
were freed, the same Master is In
power today. But I will assure you
that prayer will change all condi-
tions. There is only one Supreme
Being and he doesn't think of col
or. All men are one to Him. Don't
forget to send out that sincere de-
sire of the heart which is Prayer
for love, peace and harmony for al
mankind everywhere.
Bye now-So long-'til then.

EAST JEFFERSON AT 10TH SIT.

April 23, 1948.
Well Folks:
How goes it? We here at Reddy'S
Corner say fine! Our gross business
for the past month, March, was
larger than our total receipts for
the first year we were in business
here. In fact about $3.50 more. So
why should we kick? We are not
kicking! We are thanking you folks
for your continued patronage over
the years and hope that we can
continue to warrant your patron
age in the future years.
Have you seen a good baseball
game lately? Reddy's Boosters
have, we believe, one of their hard
est League games scheduled for
Sunday, April 25th in East Lake
Park. Your attendance and support
will go a long way toward their
chances to win that game. I'd like
to see everybody out there. I'd like
to see that park so full that there
would be standing room only"
The boosters can play ball and will
play ball if they know that they
have your support. Come on out
and give it to them.
just as Redd's Boosters need your
continued suppOrt-sO do we here
at Reddy's Corner. We are "Red-
dy" and willing to serve you. Come
and get it! 1t is here for you!
VIRLEE-EDDIE BELL
and "REDDY."
p. S.-Annie Mae was called east
to attend the funeral of a close
relative, in Des MOines, Iowa. We
can only wish for her a satisfactory
trip, and hope for her early return.
During her forced absence Eddie
Bell Bailey will be here to meet
you with her pleasant smile.
Thanks,

Letters TO the Editor
Dear Editor of The Sun:

Dear Editor of The Sun:
Two weeks ago I heard a Rev.
Morris deliver a most inspiring
sermon, at an NA.A.C.P. meeting.
He stressed the necessity of all
common people uniting and work.
ing for the good things of life Here
Now. He spoke of the promise of
walking down the street paved in
gold, but, he said, "We are not
there yet, so we will all work for a
pavement to keep us out of the
mud" We shall partake of milk
and honey in that beautiful land,
but we can't partake of it yet, so
we will all fight for some pork
chops and modern homes here now.
"There are too many people" he
said, "Who pray to the Lord to
guide them, then they stand still
doing nothing to help themselves.
The Lord cannot guide anyone that
is standing STILL"
Truly that was a sermon, from
one following the teaching of
Christ.
Yes, Christ worked for the unity
of the common man. At that time
they spoke of unity as brotherly
love, and all of one blood.
Christ said to the people, "I wish
above all things that you prosper
and be in health"
We are not prospering living in
novels, going without proper food,
proper clothing and needed medi-
cal care, neither can we have
health.
Christ went into the (churcheS)
Synagogues and by force drove the
money changers out.

LeBeau Accepts Offer Grand Jury Selection
To Debate Bond Issue Set for Tomorrow
With County Treasurer In Prince Georges

Oscar R. LeBeau. former chair

terday snapped up County Treas
urer John Locke Green's offer to de-
bate the merits of a proposed s4.-
100000 school bond issue, which Mr.
Green poposes.
Mr.. LeBeau declared he also will
accept the county treasurer's pro-
posal to pay for the radio time he
uses.
Il feel it my civic duty to defend
the financial estimates of H.
H. Miller. New York municipal fl
nancing expert" Mr.. LeBeau as
serted.
Differ on Tax Rise.
In letter to Mr.. LeBeau M.
Green declared the proposed bond
issue would necessitate 75-cent
increase in the county tax rate. Mr.
Miller has estimated the necessary
tax rise about "a cents. a1r1r.
Mr.. LeBeau pointed out that Mr..
Miller was employed as joint fnsn-
cial advisor to the School and
County Boards on recommendation
OF County Board Member After E.
Frisbie. so
He has anaEzed the present and
possible future bonded indebted
ness of Arlington and recommended
plans that are sound from the
standpoint of one who has de-
voted his life to that kind of work"
Mr.. LeBeau asserted.
Claims Expert Advice.
"It IS difficult to understand how
one member of our county govern
ment can issue fantastic public
statements contradicting the care
fully evolved estimates of those who
are responsible in these matters. It
is particularly hard to understand
when both boards have obtained
expert and impartial advice.
In various statements Mr.. Green
has prattled about the tax cost of
total county Indebtedness. total
school Indebtedness and the pro-
posed school bond issue. But in
each case the alleged increase in
the tax rate is IS cents per 500
OF assessed valuation, while the off,
cial estimates place the anticipated
cost at less than one-third that
amount.
No one can seem to find out
what arithmetic Mr.. Green has used
to arrive at his wild estimates so
obviously pryamided to frighten the
taxpayers"
