Senator Robert A. Taft and Senator Harry F. Byrd
have chance to their states against Government hand
outs about which they have preached and argued and writ
ten much for so long and so loosely
The Housing Act provides millions for slum clearance
lowrent housing and aid for rural housing. Farmers
getting Government money-some of it free.
And the Public Works Act provides 500 million to the
48 states during the next two for making plans for
public works projects Billions will be required to fulfill the
plans Conservative bankers will handle the funds and
servatve city planners and councen and chamber of
heads making plans to clear sums and erect
housing.
So Taft and Byrd those demon haters of socialism
and protectors of the Federal budget have chance to
the farmers and bankers and chambers of
of Ohio and Virginia to turn that money back to Uncle SAM
If the people accept that money, won't the Buckeye
State and the Old Dominion be tainted other such So
cialist commonweaths as Maine and Vermont?
Cmon Mr.. Taft Tell your Cleveland people they don't
need to clear any sums.
C'mon Mr.. Byrd. Tell your Dnwiddie and Wise county
farmers they don't need housing aid

FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is defined as init
macy and mutual attachment. If
love and esteem are not found
here, then friendship has been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting, for the one should not
be considered without the other.
Those who have real friends are
rich. / say rich, yet I do not refer
to financial wealth, but to the in
dividuals whom we love and by
whom we are loved.
The one in whose understand
ing we can equally confide, whose
opinion we can value for its just
ness, its honesty and sincerity is
the friend we should have. Friend
ship found in the early part of
our lives, / believe, is the most
lasting, for it is like a young plant
that grows slowly but firmly.
From a friend we can discover
our real character. From him we
learn our virtues as we'll as our
faults. 1t is only a real friend who
can speak hurtful truths with low
ing words.
The friendship of the world is,
on the whole, an outward show
full of hypocrisy and hatred. 1t
is like Delilah's love for Sam
son, or an Arnold's love for his
country.
No real life can exist without
friendship. To love and to have
love returned is the greatest hap
piness of existence, as the love of
Damon and Phythias.
In the following story I shall
try to illustrate friendship.
Betty was a poor country girl
who had lived on a farm for the
, 1949-02-28

nine years of her life. Her parents
had now moved to the city, and
for the first time she was sent to
a city school. On entering the class
room all the children, Except one
little girl whose name was ALICE
laughed at her coarse looking
shoes, her queer-looking dress
and her two pigtails.
During the recess period, Alice
made friends with Betty. Know
ing that she was much loved and
respected by her classmates, Alice
decided that she would get even
with them for laughing at Betty.
She warned them that anyone of
them who dared to offend her
friend again would lose her friend
ship.
When school was over John,
who thought he was a bully
laughed into Betty's face. Like a
tiger, Alice sprang at him, and be-
fore he knew it, he had a bruised
and aching body.
From that time on Betty's and
Alice's family became great
friends. The former soon learned
to dress like the city children and
was just as well respected as
Alice.

the examples.
BECAUSE we are small,
and far away, it is all the
more necessary that we speak
with one voice, so that it may
be heard in the places which
will bring the most effective
good. An example of such
unity came when the bill to
have one Resident Commits
sioner for the Virgin Islands
and Puerto Rico was proposed.
No one in the continental
United States, or anywhere
else tor that matter could mis-
take our attitude, for we spoke
as one man. There is much for
US to learn from the under
standing and the tolerance
which must be present in or
der to make agreat nation, or
a great people, or a great Vir-
gin Islands.

A GOOD EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW

GOOD EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW
ON HI INLAN National Brotherhood Week has
just ended. During the entire week the church, the school
radio and stage programs were devoted to hammering home
the great advantages of racial, religious, and social brother
hood, and the evils of hatred, bigotry and prejudice in what
ever form they may be found. Hollywood turned in a parti-
cular appeal for tolerance, and the need for understanding
and sympathy. Throughout the week, on the programs the
underlying theme was that America was great because it was
a great melting pot of races, Of men, and their ideals, each
contributing to prove beyond question that men can live to-
gether and by SO doing see in, and bring out, the best there
is in everyone.
AT H TIME National Brotherhood Week was parti-
cularly significant because of communist efforts to cut down
every trace OF independent thinking which might in any way
challenge the state. The trial of Cardinal Mindszenty brought
to light the great struggle between the church and the state,
and the determination of communism to tolerate nothing,
even the freedom OF worship which would tend to divide
untaiLng loyalty. In the democracies it is different, for men
in free countries have learned that it is entirely possible to
give loyalty where it is due, and that men may worship as
they please without having to pay fealty to any man-made
form Of government.
WHILE WE R far away from the swift current of
things, and may have a tendency to ignore them, yet we
cannot escape the great implications and the lessons they
teach. We have no problems such as face the people of East
ern Europe, for we are well engrained in the democratic prin-
ciples OF free government. Yet, the basic principles Of Nat
ional Brotherhood Week may serve US well. We need to un-
derstand and know that only in the closest cooperation can
we hope to accomplish the greatest possible results, and that
so long as there is still the tendency to divide these islands
into gfoups, Just so long will we suffer. Petty iealousies, de-
Gberate misunderstanding, artificial differences create the
type of problems which shacke progress, and countless are

evidently fascinated by boy
who doesn't care anything about
you. The mere fact that he

that he doesn't care anything

work a young mother can do
than to take care of three small
| children, teaching them to be-

them priceless memories OF a
happy childhood. You and your
husband will no doubt enjoy the
rewards of your labor many
times over in the years to come.
Civic work is fine, but let
those women do it who can
without neglecting their children.
1t. is nice to have some outside
interests, but as long as you and
| your husband are satisfied and
the children are happy, pay no
attention to what your friends

In the House, there are no
such measuring rods, since all
representatives run for reelec-
ton, or quit, every two years.
AT present, there are 263 Demo-
Gratis in the House, l7f Republi-
cans, and two American Labor
members. But the Democrats are
aware that in off-election years
when the presidential term does
not expire), they are in danger
of sustaining upsets-since some
