Voter Joins With
Humphrey in Supporting
New Charter Amendment

Editor: AS an individual citizen
interested in good government, a
leader of the Third Ward, DFL
Party, and a member of the Rail
way Clerks Union, l am very
happy to urge my friends to join
with Senator-Elect Humphrey in
voting yes on December 9th for
the charter amendment.
AS Senator Elect Humphrey has
said IF the average wage Garner
of Minneapolis votes against the
amendment he is voting against
his own best interests" Those of
us who are not involved in city
politics in terms of jobs are inter
ested in better housing, better
schools, and more for our tax dol
lar. The present system is Corroded

not to befall US, we must now de-
mand a day Of reckoning.
Remember the Atlantic Charter,
which was promised to every ma
tion-the great and small, the
weak and the strong, the victor
and the vanquished-and, individ-
ually, to the black, to the brown,
to the red, to the yellow, and to
the white alike? 1t has become

Again when our liberation of
the tragic peoples of Europe and

them transferred from the hands
of one dictator into the bloody
hands of another.
Again the peace" about which
the self-styled international au-
thorities are shouting from the
housetops, is merely the extension
of brutal war technique to mil
lions of helpless and innocent
men, women, and children.
Again the agreements" under
which the victors are attempting
to hold the mad chaos of Europe
and Asia together, have become
brutal, immoral, and uneconomic
political absurdities.
If our financial books were bal
anCed, we would find that Ameri-
ca, as the world spendthrift and
chief advocates of international
pumprlming, is the first great ma
ton in history to have fought two
wars in order to finance a bank

Yale's Election of Leir
Jackson Gives Reader
Happiness and Satisfaction

Editor: In ones life there are
always certain moments Of hap
piness and dissatisfaction arising
from the realization of a deeply
cherished dream, hope or asplra-
ton. Levi Jackson's election as
Yale's l949 football captain, to me
was one which afforded such a
moment. In no era has the Negro
youth gained such recognition as
in the field of sports.
Let us hope that this will in
spire our youth of today to higher
education and greater heights
through any field of endeavor.
Sincerely yours,

A CHEERFUL PRAYER

Give me good digestion, Lord,
And also something to digest.
Give me healthy body, Lord,
With sense to keep it at its best.
Give me healthy mind, good Lord,
To keep the good and pure in sight,
Which seeing sin is not appalled,,
But finds way to set it right
Give me mind that is not bored,
That does not whimper, whine or sigh.
Don't let me worry overmuch
About the fussy things called l.
Give me sense of humor, Lord,
Give me the grace to see joke,
To get some happiness from life,
And pass it on to other folk.
