Good Friday and Easter Bless
ing for all mankind to love and
respect one another, to treat
all as men and women and not
as Colored, Irish, Jews, Polish,
etc. Some day I am praying
that Easter will be the fulfill
ment and love the brotherhood
Of man for which Christ died.
For he died for the love He had
for all. A very happy Easter
to all!
POLITICS
Well, folks, it won't be long
now and the fight for the May
or's Job for the next two or four
years will be in full swing and
you can mark my word there
will be plenty Of punches thrown
and some pretty low, also there
will be tricks pulled, propaganda
to confuse you, and certain
dailies will print screaming
head lines because they figure
that's all the average citizen
reads any way. Now is a good
time to find out about your city
government and what makes it
run. You can't depend on all
you read, when some papers we
know make a personal attack
on our present Mayor. We must
look at. the overall picture and
see what is best for the majority
of the citizens OF Boston rather
than the chosen few on the
Hill and State Street. There Is
one thing I will always believe
and that is this. Politics is a
game that you should know
Know the candidates, know
them to the extent that you and
your friends viii have all the
confidence in voting for then
because they have proven thrr
the years that they appreciate
the colored vote as any other
racial group. And who typifies
that more than our good friend,
Mayor James NJ. Curley.

And olive trees all hushed and gray,

Followed by crowd whose piercing cry

ESSAY FOR THE WEEK
Good Friday"

Villagers and friends, am
wondering what Good Friday
means to US at this critical and
uncertain period that we and
the whole world are facing. Yes.
on this glorious eve OF Easter
there is SO much we should be
thankful for and also the privi-
lege Of living and working in
the greatest democracy or we
should say the greatest country
IN the world. All over the en-
tire globe there is unrest, greed,
selfiShness, and the ever present
monster, Discrimination. Let's
take a trip around and view
such sections as South Africa,
where thousands were murdered
because Of the caste system.
Palestine where the Jews and
Arabs were fighting a terrible
war was agitated by the lust
and greed for control OF stra-
tegic defenses or aggressive
footing and valuable oil deposits.
Take iran where there Is a con-
slant spasmodic border clash
with Russia which might be-
come a real war any time. Also
the same thing is happening
with Finland and Russia in the
far north and extreme cold
waste lands. Then there is a
civil war in China, where AM
erica and England have thrown
in the towel, it seems, and just
south of China there Is another
civil war in Indonesia? The
world was supposed to have
ceased firing in 1945 and the
signing of several peace treaties
was to have made this old world
one big family OF friendly ma
tions, but I think It did just
the opposite. Coming back to
the United States, there have
been cruel and vicious lynchings,
bloody, deliberate murders, mall
icious and deviliSh discrimina-
ton against the colored man,
1un,,ldn,t Il be q blessing. q

in the moving picture version of
Native Som. His efforts to have
one of the American motion
pictures companies to make the
picture failed so he turned to
Argentina. Wright said he tried
also to make the film in Europe
but none of the Marshall plan
countries would give him permits
sion. His hearers gathered that the
United States did not want the
world to know that scenes of the
sort described in his book could
ever occur in this country and
that countries dependent upon
them for financial aid therefore
would not entertain the idea of
having the film made on their
soil. Whether Argentina consented
because she is more or less cool
toward the United States and does
not care particularly what her op.
inion might be in a matter for
conjecture.
His co-producer will be Jaime

Maryland officials today an
nounced that tonight's boxing
match with Catholic University
at Ritchie Coliseum is a COM
plete sellout, and there will be
no tickets sold at the door.
Fans without tickets have been
requested not to come to the

Thus, more than 5000 fans
will see the Old Liners try to
upset the slightly favored Car
dinals, who take an unblem-
ished record of four consecu-
tive victories into the match.
Coach Eddie La Fond's charges
earned their rating of favorites
largely because of a 512-to-212
victory over The Citadel, which
defeated Maryland, 5-3, in the
first match for both.
Chief interest tonight will
center in the 155-pound bout
between Maryland's sensational
Ed Rieder, undefeated in IL
matches. and Bucky Ennis.
Both carry sleeping pills in
their rights, and it's almost a
foregone conclusion that the
affair will end in a knockout.
Ennis has three straight kay

Ray started out with a big curve
