Now, you can buy grits at most
any store In Washington. but It's
q thoughtful man who puts them
out where you can see them. And
tired we are Of hearing people
say that grits are no good. It
depends on how you prepare
them. Any Southerner knows
that grits cooked to q thick mass
are awful, too. But cook them to
the right consistency, add but

bacon into them, and who knows

NOT BY BREAD ALONE

Each year, during the third week in October, Ma
tonal Bible Week is observed The 1949 observance will
run from the 18th to the 23rd
The week is designed to again focus attention on
those basic principles of Christianity which much of the
civilized world is supposed to live by and which are so
widely and tragcaly violated Here in the United States
to say nothing of other nations have little to pride
selves upon as Christians We have the highest rate of
crime and delinquency in our history-three times as
many people ncarcerated in penal institutions
attending universities and colleges Eleven out of IL young
people are not active church members Over SOO0 900
people under treatment for mental disorders Reig
and morals often openly rdcued and totaltar
principles which directly opposed to Christianity
and all the other great religions WE'LL advocated
and taught There has never been time when much
cheap and tawdry entertainment - in books and maya
zines, and the radio, stage and screen offered
for sale, and it has huge audience. Racial and class
hatreds rampant
Looking the international scene it is clear that the
failure live the basic ideals of Christianity has led
misery and despair for Millions to the ensavement of
oncefree peoples, to cold which is absorbing more
and of energies, thoughts, resources
The world is moving swiftly toward cynical materialsm
which may destroy it unless the trend is checked.
At time like this, National Bible Week has a vast

foreman of the jury, colored woman made known the
verdct-The jury had found each and every one of the
defendants guilty"
Sentencing of these II people is in the hands of
Judge Harold Medina.
The maximum fine is $1,000 and ten years imprison
ment.
This trial began January II, and is said to be one
of the longest criminal trials in the history of the United
States There so witnesses 35 for the defense and
Is for the prosecution With five lawyers for the Defense

a million dollars.
The case has been followed with interest throughout
the world and naturally there diversity of opinions
It is regrettable that two outstanding Colored men are
in the "11" however the fact still remains that Colored
people are the most loyal in the world
Judge Medina sprang surprise when at the conclu-
sion of the he said II have little unfinished busl-
ness to take up He then ordered the five lawyers to
stand up and charged that their behaviour had been de
berately entred into cold and calculating manner to
delay, confuse misria impair his health. They

of appeals for funds, and as con-
sequence, probably none of them
got as much as they might have or
ought to have. Agencies jealousy
held onto their own longtime bene-
factors and wealthy philanthrophlsts
gave only to their own pet charl-
ties year after year. In many in
stances. the staff of social agency
had to use much of its time out on
the street soliciting funds when it
should have been devoting all of its
time to taking care of the clients
of the agency.
| Before the idea of the community
chest gained public recognition and
acceptance, the nationwide general
picture of social and welfare organ
izations was one in which expenses
were not being met and the agencies
were getting deeper into debt each
year.
! Something had to be done to bring
order out Of chaos, solvency out OF

first started in the midwest and
soon spread to most of the nations

the community chest has been sue

! country.
The agencies belonging to h &
Community Chest are varied in the
type of work they do, but they all
have one thing in common their
accomplishments are worthwhile
and beneficial. In the hour of need,
the sick and poverty-btricken can
find real help from an agency of
the Community Chest. The fine work
they do cannot be measured in dol
lars and cents, but our help with
dollars and pennies can do much tc
bring health and happiness to 9th

fortune.
