BASIC STUDY IS HUMAN NATURE

There are many readers of The Marion Pro-
gress in Marion, who constantly resolve to i'm
prove their minds by reading inteligently-
ten books, in hope they will become better
equipped to understand the many issues that
crowd upon them as they try to keep pace with
this modern world.
This impulse is good and should be acted
upon, but, very often, in search for the
new, we have tendency to overlook the value
of the old.
For this reason, we would remind our read
ers that under all modern issues however ex-
pressed, human nature asserts itself much the
same as it dit in past ages. Therefore, the basic
study for us is human nature and the solution
for modern troubles is improved human be-
ings.
By the general consent of almost all of man.
kind the Bible has long been recognized as pre-
eminent in the field of human nature, possess
ing the fundamental guides to improving hui
man beings. 1t might be a good idea, then, for
all of us to give little more diligent study to
the great truths that are set out in the Book of

GOVERNMENT WORTH OUR TAX

Society, as we know it, could not be perpet-
uated without government Whether it is the
best, the best possible, only fair, the contin-
uance of peaceable lives, the carrying of
farming, business and commerce, or any of the
hundred and one necessary modern activities,
require law and order established processes
and the cooperation possible only
through government.
Regardless of some waste and waste cannot
the average citizen gets more for his tax dol
lars than for any other expenditure he makes
The average family head does not pay as much
taxes as the children cost the government for
their education, if he has an average-sized IA
raily All the rest of the benefits from govern
ment he gets over and beyond that!
Government cannot operate without some
money and, therefore, taxes are necessary. Ev-
cry citizen should be willing to pay his proper
tionate share of the common cost of these ben
eficial services. =
OF course, every effort should be made by
tax officials to equalize taxes so that every cit
zen is fairly treated and is not called on to
pay proportionately more or less than his neigh
bors to pay. Yet, the task of perfect equa1iza-
ton is hard to accomplish and just as hard to
maintain after it's accomplishment, in view of
the changing factors involved.
Notwithstanding the many centuries during
which various governments have collected tax
fort and cooperation of every good citizen.

RECIATE SUCCESSFUL MEN

Those of us who live in Marion ought not to
have to be taught the valuable lesson Of CO.
operation. Cooperation plays vital part in the
successful growth of any city.
Today, however, the power of cooperation
is not as evident as in the olden days when ev-
cry citizen turned out to put his shoulder to the
wheel to accomplish some public enterprise.
One of the most valuable assets that any
town can have is successful men. Get that, and
remember it. It is high time that the worth of
successful business men be appreciated. From
them, if from anywhere, will come the impuls-
es that lead to bigger and better Marion

This announcement was made

director of the Americans All"
radio program, a Sunday after
noon feature. of station WOOK.
Not wishing to pin himself down
to a definite promise, the Virginia

her if she told her mother or ia

would whip her with a "Big Strap

Crown Point was the scene OF
another raid last night as 10 men
we're taken into custody by deputy
sheriffs in the vicinity of the Lei
sure Hour Club 214 Bluecrest ave.
Despite the closing of the club last
April by court order of Common
Pleas Judge Don Thomas, by a re-
straining order on the charges of
being a common nuisance to the
community, the area around the
club is still being rated as object
ionable by residents in the area.
Among those arrested last night
were: Marion J. Wolf, %, of 1876
Penrod ave; Harold L. Bell, 20, of
box FOG Skyway lodge; Charles
Dellard, 26, Of IA Imfirmary Rd.
Clarence J. Hoffman,, AZ, Skyway

rested were charged with being
driving while drunk and lettering.
For the second time in as many
nights deputy sheriffs visited the
residence of PA Bluecrest avenue
in Crown Point and arrested six
soldiers from Patterson Air Force
Base and charges them with being
drunk, early Wednesday morning.
Tuesday night the same officers
raided the club room across the
street from the Leisure Hour, now
under temporary restraining or
der and ~pad-locked by the order
of Common Pleas Judge Don
Thomas on the charges of being a

citizenship rights for Negroes"
but "this fight sometimes is sort
of like a checker game-you make
plans and then circumstances re-
quire a shifting Of those plans"
In reply to DR.. Todd's question
on what benefits the Negroes of
Richmond had derived from his
election, the councilman, said:
"My election was made posi-
BILE by the concentrated and in
tensive work on the part of a
large number of Negroes of all
walks of life to develop political
consciousness among Negroes in
our city. Consequently, my cleo
ton was a personal victory for
each O fthem and a vindication of
their preachments against the eX-
ponents of apathy.
SIN my opinion, the greatest
single benefit Negroes have de-
rived from my election is that it
has created for the first time
| among a large segment of them,
a feeling of belonging to and be-
ing a part of the government"
The Councilman went on to
| point out that unless a citizen can
| feel that he is a part of the gov
} eminent and can actually partici-
| pate in it, he is always going to
feel like an outside. 1t has al
ways been quite common for Ne
gro citizens to say "what are they
going to do about such and such
a thing" when referring to the
government, declared Hill, but it
is surprising to note how the Ne
groes of Richmond have begun re-
Gently to refer to governmental
activities by saying "what are we
going to do about it." "That we
is most gratifying and important
he emphasized.
He told the radio audience that
the elimination of segregation botf
by law and by custom would &C
a long way toward removing many
false issues which unnecessarily
plague the economic, political ano
social structure Of this great ma
ton.
He said he had been treated
most cordial by the other members
of the city council since he hae
become one of it's members. Thu
same spirit Of cordially has beer
manifested by the administrative
officials and city employees Will
whom he has come in contact.
In introducing Atty. Hill, DIR
Todd pointed out that he is tn
only colored American in the soutl
who was elected to a similar OF
: flee as a result of a city-wide cleo
ton "This uniqueness Of Atty
Hill's election is enhanced by tn
