At the Co-Eds' Monday night
meeting, there were about $50
present and all had a wonderful
time. There were twelve tables
for playing cards and other
table games. There were also
is minute lectures and % min
utes for dancing. We are only
keeping the young people one
hour so as not to interfere with
their school work. This is a
group of young people who will
be our future leaders and now
is the time that they should
have the proper training. We
woul like to thank Willie Wash
ington, one Of our finest young
men, who has given so much
of his time to our recreation
program. Rain or snow, he is
always at the social hall doing
whatever he can to help. The
young ladies can't all have him,
but he is really popular. We
think he is the kind of young
man every mother and father
would be proud to own.

and with others there is a con-
tinuation Of arguments and
fights throughout the year. Don't
you want to be happy and peace
full and live In a cheerful and
wholesome community. Let's
knock on our neighbours door,
give them a smile, chat awhile
and see If you don't feel better
or even have a different view
point on life. All Of us will
finally sink or swim together.
This message is not only for the
Villagers but for the city, state
and country and the world.
When man has made the man
next door his friend, then wars
and strife shall end.

They say Harold Busby is the

very close friends, Gloria w. and

this very interesting case. Who

Mr. Willis with his staff of
workers were happy over the re-
suits of the Monday night ses-
sion with the Co-Eds. Much
time is given toward the mental
ana Spiritual development OF
our young people. We feel that
much progress is being made
toward leading our young people
out Of darkness into the light.

GOOD ADVICE

Dear Villagers, the project is
no different from any other
neighborllood or community.
Also you are the same person
that was once living outside of
the project. You hear gossip,
lies and the same arguments as
any other citizen Of Boston, but
take the reporters advice, when
you tell deliberate and SANDER
Gus lies on some one, be sure
you can repeat those lies in
court. If you live in a glass
house, don't throw rocks at one.

There are two sayings which

the laundry, it is difficult for her
to understand the need for spe-
cial exercise.
If we depended on exercise alone
to keep us slim we would never
have a lovely figure. The number
of Galleries we use up in physical
energy, of course. does play some
part. A sedentary person needs
fewer calories than more active
one and q day lahorer must have
