Drivers License
DeadIine Dec. 81

Motorists who have failed to get
their 1850 drivers license can avoid
lot of trouble if they make sure
they purchase one before the close
of the year, it was pointed out this
week by licensing officials.
Any person who does not have his
license by December 81 must take
out temporary permit before he
can procure the regular license. In
order to avoid the necessity of pur-
chasing the temporary license and
taking the driving test it will be to
their advantage to buy regular Ii
cense before the year ends.

In Memoriam

In loving memory of Margaret
Joyce, who passed away five years
ago, January 2, 1945.
"The heavens shall glow with
splendor,
But brighter far than they,
The saints shall shine in glory,
As Christ shall them array.
The beauty of the Saviour,
Shall dazzle every eye,
In the crowning day that's coming
by and by.
"Our pain shall then be over,
Well sin and sigh no more;
Behind us all of sorrow,
And naught but joy before,
A joy in our Redeemer,
AS we to Him ere nigh,
In the crowning day that's coming
by and BY"
Sadly missed by the parents,
S. F. Nonnamakers and
Richard Mumma Family.

The development Of jet en-

YMCA Plans Three
Way Program

The ESoker L. Washington
branch YMCA, in preparing for
the day in which they look for
ward to moving into its new
building, has set up three-fold
program. A city-wlde campaign
for building purpose will get
under way early in 1949. The
three-fold program aims to in
crease the membership, establish
a broad program Of recreation
and character education, a pro-
gram CT public relations to in
form colored Milwaukeeans OF
the need and value Of a dynamic
YMCA in the community and to
arouse cooperation from white
resident OF the area served by
the branch to support the inte-
grated program. A reorganization
of the program is now underway
and is being we'll received by
the boys and young men. Club
groups are receiving Instruction
in the philosophy of tie YMCA
anG each group will seek to make
a contribution to community
welfare.
Robert w. Starms, executive
secretary, came to Milwaukee
December l, 1913 on the invita-
ton Of the Milwaukee YMCA
from Indianapolis, Indiana.
The following statement is an
indication Of the kind Of YMCA
the new executive hopes to de-
veIop, he states, 1.-THE YMCA
must justify it's existence BY de-
veloping the opportunity for
character development and lead
ership training. Our youth must
be given the chance to express
and demonstrate their talents.
Thus the YMCA must be a dy-
manic institution which seeks to
break the status quo, it must
approach human problems with
Christian craftsmanship, 1t
must champion human freedom
and seek, through it's entire pro-
gram, to develop attitudes and
leaders who will seek to give
practical application to our
Christian democratic ideals. With
these goals in mind, the entire
city of Milwaukee will benefit
and our youth will receive the
stimulus which will develop them
into intelligent and useful citi-,
zens.

Charles had been waiter

one day in 1886 they tapped him

So Charles came back. became

its 10000 times worse when you

with eager listeners.
IF I did not see, would not
believe what happened here the
last three days before the Russians

brought out and told to use ma
chine guns. Thousands of Hitler
youth brought out and told to
fight. The old men die like flies.
So did the kids. but never was
there anything like those l5-and-

They were fanatic. They did
things. risked death-and did die
too-that no veteran soldier would
do.
Streets Full of Bodies.
"It was terrible. the streets fill
with the bodies of boys and old
men. and boys and old men
wounded and screaming. Nothing
could be so bad as those days"
Charles stopped talking, his
gaze wandering back to scenes he
cannot escape.
1T would have been different if
your American Army come he
continued, but the Russians! We
knew what that meant. But it
was not good for put boys in the
barricades. For me, all right. If

We are ready. But how much?
How long must we work. Why

Watch-they will not order food. /"
Nor did they. Two sandwiches
were served in a room with so
people. One bottle of wine was
opened. The rest ordered only
ice and glasses. Our good meal,
