early July to late November. But
the average seasonal decline is
only five per cent. And the me-
dunn and good lambs dropped ov-
err rs per cent from early July to
November. Usually, lamb prices
hold quite steady in the fall.
Looking back, Hobson finds
these reasons for the sharp de-
cline: In the first place, he says,
market supplies of all livestock
and, meat were extremely short
last summer. But consumers had
high incomes. As a result, they
bid actively for the limited sup
plies available. That forced meat
and livestock prices to new all
time high levels. And the short
supplies forced consumers to find
ways for getting along with less
meat.
Then the fall runs Of hogs, grass
tat cattle and lambs started. They
came a little earlier and more
suddenly than usual. But consum-
ers weren't in any mood for
taking all of the increase in sup
plies of meat unless they could
buy at substantially lower prices.
That resulted in severe declines
in livestock and meat prices.

Comics Hit Nations

Responding to nationwide de-
mand, the Delta Sigma Theta So
rority and the National Urban
League released this week 300,-
600 copies of NEGRO HEROES,
No. 2, picture-color true stories
of outstanding Negroes, This is
sue features life histories of
Jackie Robinson, Booker T. WASH
ington, Sadie T. M. Alexander,

and short sketches OF Frederick
Douglass, Katy Ferguson, Phyllis
Wheatley. Tom Molyneaux (early
10Th century,. Alexander Pushkin,
the Russian poet.
The true stories in the 32-page
booklet meet long-felt need for
inspiration material for young
America. They will also serve
to supplement Negro history texts
and to promote interracial under
standing, Following the publica-
ton of the first NEGRO HEROES
in l947, hundreds of enthusiastic
letters were received by the Ma
tional Urban League from teach
ers, counsellors, and parents, COM
mending the venture and urging
additional issues. Many of the
letters came also from boys and
girls who listed the names of
other Negroes they would like to
read about, several of whom are
included in the second issue.
Cooperative Venture
The successful publication of
the second NEGRO HEROES is
the result of an unprecedented
gesture of cooperation on the part
of Delta Sigma Theta, one of the
two oldest national sororities of
Negro college women. The soror-
ity selected the magazine to help
implement its national project on
Job Opportunities.

- From the days when they sang
the hymns Of David, the Jews were
prosperous to the degree that they
were true to God In their worship
and IN their reverence for all
things holy. This lesson traces the
story, leaving no doubt In any

The Young Man And
Farming
Every young man is faced with
the question: What shall | do to
make living and to make my for
tune? The wrong answer to this
question means failure and diast-
err. If the question is faced
squarely and a fair and honest
seduction is sought. success is al
most certain.
The call of the soil is persistent
and continual II springs eternal
in the human breast. Mother ma
ture nurtlues her offspring well
No wonder the. three hundred
thousand people in the United
States turn their faces to the farm
each year. The call Of the soil
Is well-neigh irresistible.
Farming with machinery as 1t
Is done today requires knowledge
knowledge and skill. Electric
farming seems to be in the near
future Engineering skill Of a
high order will be required to
successfully manage farm so
equipped No occupation calls
for more knowledge nor more
skill than farming The modern
farmer needs to be a mechanic,
a carpenter, blacksmith, natural
list, a breeder, salesman and an
executive, as we'll as an expert in
a number of other skills. Surely
no other calling has a need for
better trained men. No calling
issues a greater challenge.
When the young man thinks Of
farming. he should not over look
many other phases of farm life.
The farm is a place of security.
One farm woman has said: II
like to live in the country because
there is more room for the soul
to grow, when | sit on my front
porch in the quiet of the twilight
and listen to the call of the
whippowill or the bob-white, !
feel oneness with the universe
and my SOUL expands. | thank
my Greater for the peace and
contentment.
1t is true that farm families feel
more secure in their homes and
are not elected from them City
people move from one place to
another. The farm owner, even
in times of depression, feels more
secure and is not apt to become
worried over the loss of his home
and property.
Let the young man know that
the farmer is the heir of all the
ages with an opportunity to bene-
fit all mankind. His task is to
keep the faith and 60 forward
with the work his Creator destin-
ed him TO perform, and SO may he
hear opportunity say They DO
me wrong who say l come no
more. when once | knock and fan
to find you in; for every day l
stand outside your door and bid

WHY WE co r6 CHURCH

N1 chant prince, was once asked
why he went so regularly to
church. He replied
II go to church for two main
reasons. First, because God com
mands it; second, because 1t en-.
riches life"
The Jews teach US, in the long
record Of their faithfulness or un-
4aithfulness. tina. the people who
20 regularly to church are the
most dependable people in any
community. And we can bring it
right down to our day and genera.
tion. and get the same answer.
A business man told me recently
that he had check made OF the
several hundred young people in
his employ. and he found that more
than ninety per cent Of the regular
church-goers were advancing in
their work with his company. He
further discovered that almost
without exception, the people who
were giving trouble were the people
who neg entered church.
OUR NJ b OF PUBLIC WORSHIP
0UH bodies require regular
~ nt [rishment And our souls are
just al dependent upon regular
nourishiment. would not say tina,
II Is absolutely necessary for one
to attend public worship to grow
spiritually. but the odds are en-
firely against those who claim that,
they can grow spiritually without
attending public worship.
There 10 a place Of worship within
the reach Of well-nigh every person
in the United States. We arc re.
sponsible before God II we neglect
to claim the advantages and bless.
ing Of public worship.
The place Of the temple In the
life Of Israel is symbol which
teaches US today that we dare not
forsake the assembling Of ourselves
on the Lords Day in his house. The
fellowship Of worship is the sweet
est fellowship on earth. II Is our
surest road to peace here and here.

Lemke Is Right About This

Ihe present Oldage assistance law is not home pre-
server but home wrecker 1t is nhuman cruel and brutal
Congressman "Blp Lemke progressive North Dakota
Republican.
Oldage assistance is not the part of the Social Secur
y system under which employers and employees taxed
for pension fund 1t the part in which Uncle Sam and
each state share 5050 in the cost of pensions for poor old
folks who need help and would not get any other way
These 'oldage assistance PENSIONS Lemke pointed out
run low $14 month in states Yet get
that pance the old folks must assign their homes to the
state welfare board and the Federal government demands
one-half the money received from this source"
In other words if and wife have managed to pay
for home by lifetime of toll and thrifty scrmpng but
have income when they too old to work. they must
sign their harened home to the and Uncle Sam
get no help.
Moreover Lemke explained 'they must prove they are
paupers before they get relief Such humiang and
shameful red tape should be cut out"
If we can afford billions to assist the Old World,
should certainly be able to relieve impoverished
"senior citizens"
