Unless we unite ourselves in love,
There's no way for our people to stond.
We must stond up for Jesus,
And that means d National right;
He said love one another in this world,
So thot means both black and white.
Christ set up segregation on earth,
When he soid for his people to separate;
Why not obey his program to-day
Before it is to late
Christ seeroted against oil sin,
Why not we do the same;
Stop turning the world into Gods house,

OLD-AGE SOCIAL
SECURITY PLAN
How to Secure Information
Relating to Federal Old-Age
and Survivors, Insurance
QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Questions relating to Federal
Old-Age and Survivors Insurance
will be answered in this paper or
by mail. Address all queries to So
cial Security Administration, Old
Customs House Building, 9Th and
King Streets, Wilmington.
Q. am rs years old and a citi-
zen. I have never worked in a job
covered by social security. I did
some nursing companion work but
I understand this work is not COW
cred. Am I entitled to any social
security benefits?
A. Unless you have worked in a
job covered by social security and
were paid at least SIS in each of
six calendar quarters since Janu-
airy 1, 1889, you are not entitled
to old-age benefits under the So
cial Security Act. II you go to work
now and earn these six $50 quar-
ters, you may become fully insured
and become entitled to benefits.
The nursing companion work in a
private home is generally not COW
cred and may not be counted to-
ward the necessary six quarters.
@. Please settle this dispute.
Jones claims no matter what day
of the month you attain the age
of SIS, If you are fully insured and
file an application in that month,
you are entitled to a check for the
full month. Smith claims that you
do not become entitled until 80
days after your birthday.
A. Jones is right. The Social
Security law states, if you are fully
insured, have attained the age of
65 and file an application in the
month in which you attain age SIS,
you are entitled to a primary in
surance benefit beginning with
the month in which such individual
become so entitled to such insur-
ance benefit. /. !" There is no pro-
ration where the individual attains
age IS late in the month.

TEACHERS WHO FUNK

In a recent issue of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin a recent graduate of Harvard takes his alma mater severely though sorrowful to task No son of his Will 90 to Harvard he says The reason? The indifferent professors who will teach him. and the harred grad uate students who assist them, intent on their own research and productivity that they have no time to give to being good teachers
 There are Harvard who, remembering the brilliant and inspiring teachers they have studied under will utter loud cries of protest says the Chris tan Science Monitor There are men and women from scores of colleges and universities who will add that the criticisms might equally well be brought against their own faculties But leaving aside all exaggeration all comparisons all exceptions the fact remains that college teaching in general has put far too little emphasis the teachers ability to teach
 The University of Michigan has tried the experi- ment of having it's students grade it's faculty five of whom have received "flunking grades. Some of the hapess five may be giants in research, but appar ently they are pgmies in communication.
 It is healthy to have this matter brought up.

if the Republicans contributed twice as many signatures as the Democrats, the COP committed reasons, the blame for fail;.l to act cn civil rights will fall d--ectly on. the Democrats.
 So far, the National Committee admits, the Republicans have talk en beating in the press for their compromise on the filibuster. As an example o1 Negro reaction, the committee cites the editorial bitter ness of the Afro-American, lead- ing Negro newspaper which hither- to had supported the Republican ticket.
 We made a grievous mistake in supporting the reelection of a Re- publican Congress- declared the Afro- American after the Republi- can-Dixiecrat deal. Twice in the past week have the actions of the Republicans in the Senate showed us how grlevous was our error.
 The committee points out that most newsmen believe it is lm- possible to muster the necessary 66 signatures to shut off civil-rights debate, as required under the con- promise agreement That is the yesason the committee urges every republican Senator-to a man-to sign the gag petition.
 Not only will this save the re- election of Taft, Capehart and Don- nell, argues the National Committee, but it will cut into the Nemocratic vote in Kentucky, Cal. lia, Illin- ois Connecticut Pennsylvania, Ok lahcma, Maryland and New York where there is heavy Harlem bal lot
