SUNSHINE"
BY Mrs. Nellie Maye Taylor

Hello there, here and every
where. Our thought for today is,
"It is better to give than to- lend
and the costs is lots cheaper" 1t
seems our boy Joe Louis is going to
fight again, after promising so
faithfully he wouldn't. And became
very angry when different sport
writers said he would. Al Negro in
New York City has been placed as
bank clerk in the Merchants bank
there. There seemed to have been
some protests, but he has the job.
It would make me feel very, very
good to walk in one of our city
banks and see Negro inside doing
something besides singing a mop
or shining brass. We have some,
quite capable to fill such jobs from
the president on down. Did you
know that there are several Negro
Banks in the south, east, north and
west. The newest being in Oak
land, Calf, so you see if a Negro
is capable of organizing and oper-
ating a bank, there should be some
somewhere around here who can
work in some of our City Banks.
Don't you think so, or am I doing
my own little thinking alone.
Down in the state of Georgia,
thirty u. S. agents and two air.
planes are on the lookout for the
protection of small doves. Anyone
caught shooting doves before Dec.
18 will be arrested. It seems that
state thinks more of it's wild life
especially it's birds than it does its
Negro Citizens. If one of them are
shot down, there is nothing done
about it, seldom ian investigation.
If so its just a shame. You remem-
Der how the two men and their
wives were shot down like mad
dogs. There has been nothing done
about it. The FBI can investigate
and solve other crimes lots smaller
than the death of the two couples.
Doesn't it seem strange that a
crime as large and serious could
not be solved too. Why was Harri
son not arrested and taken through
the third degree, he would have
confessed and named all concerned.
Justice is something the Negro
knows very little about in the
states below the Mason and Dixon
Line; not only that it is very lit
tie Justice he gets anywhere in the
great land of ours. The Negro is
indeed the bravest of all True
Americans, because he has been
treated worse than other humans
that has ever set foot on this soil.
And yet he is loyal. Let's look for
ward to a brighter day which is
bound to come for the Negro.
Bye Now-So 'long-'Ttil then.

mine and said, "Son, read
more" I did, and the tears con-
tinued to flow. Finally I put
my hand upon his forehead
and said, dad, you haven't
long to live, your hours are
numbered. You know you are
a sinner; you have sinned
against God. Believe on His
Son, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Who died for you. Receive
Him as your Savior, and God
will have mercy on you. Thank
God, he yielded himself to
Christ! Others, of a different
faith entirely, wanted to come
into the room, but he said, "I
do not want any one in my
room but my boy, who will
read Gods Word to me. Then
he cried, Forgive my sins,
Lord Jesus Christi" and pass

After he had passed away,
what reception I got from my
family because Dad had be-
come a Christian! I wish I
could tell you about it. I took
an awful beating from my
family; and I took it because

family constantly since then,
and have asked God to give me
my family one by one for the

want to be an old scrub man

And 1 no more as now shall sing;
But oh, the joy when I shall wake
Within the palace of the King!

And shall see Him face to face,
And tell the story, SAVED BY
GRACE!
Some day my earthly house will fall,
I cannot tell how soon twill be;
But this I know, my All in All
Has now place in heaven for me.
Some day, when fades the golden sun
Beneath the rosy-tinted west,
My blessed Lord will say, "Well
done!"
And I shall enter into rest.

WAR GAINS CONTINUE

Akron Remember reclaim
rubber?
1t was awarded front page
publicity as savior of the ma
ton early in the war, after ma
tural rubber imports were cut
off and before the synthetic
plants swept into production.
Since then it has quietly be-
come bigger business than
ever before. A dozen rubber
reclaimers intend to chew up
rs million old tires and other
scrap rubber this year for a
record output of 100000 tons.
Reclaim has shown smuggling
ability in the competitive
rough-and-tumble. There's lots
more natural and synthetic
available now, but the rubber
industry actually figures on
using less new rubber and
more reclaim this year, if pres
ent price trends hold.
Price packs a wallop. Ma
tural rubber, after some vio-
lent fluctuations, is selling for
about 2212 cents a pound. Syn
thetic is still price-pegged by
Uncle Sam at 1872 cents. First
quality black reclaim is selling
for 8 cents.

MOVED TO OCT. |
No New Cases Are Reported
Since Saturday; One
Remains Critical

With no new polio cases report
ed since Saturday, September II,
and with the situation apparently
leveling off in Ottawa county, DR..
George Poe, health commissioner,
$abmitted the following summary
on Wednesday:
"Of the total cases reported in
the county, one resulted in death
and one is critically i'll. All 9TH
ers are making satisfactory pro-
gress.
"The ban on football practice
and games has been extended un-
til October 1, and if necessary the
time may be extended further.
q "While there has been consider
able pressure from the citizens to
close the schools, we have avoid
ed this action because it is not in
accordance with the national and
state medical opinions. In support
of this position it is pointed out
that DR.. John Porterfield, director
of the Ohio Department of Health,
on Monday, September 13, OBJ
jected to the closing of schools in
.pne Ohio county and stated, "Clos-
Wing schools does not stop epi-
demics.'' He further stated that
Children have no more bodily con-
tact with other children in schools
than they do on the Fairgrounds.
If their mothers stayed home from
the movies and their fathers
stayed home from work there
might be some justification for
keeping children home from school,
otherwise it does not work"
"The Ottawa County Health De-
sJartment advises the following pre-
cautions as the best polio preven-
tative. Battle frequently to keep
clean at all times. Spray flies.
Carefully wash all foods eaten raw.
Keep garbage pail clean and COW
cred. Give children plenty of rest
and if i'll, isolate them and i'm
