most good for the greatest number These ideals have
cherished as sacred trust to our many readers and to
this community. We also made it clear in our first mes
sage, had political to grind no friends to favor
nor enemies to punish and could be depended upon
to print the news considered exped1ent.
Maybe progress would have been more rapid had we
chose the radical method-the blood and thunder

stray from the straight and path No doubt that
type of newspaper would be far popular with the
majority not only in this community but ninety percent
of others
After seven years, we still feel, newspaper which
exists and hrves by the patronage of it's readers and ad
obligation to build and uplift, focusing light things
which will inspire to greater heights.
The SUM- in it's years struggle has tried to live
up to the ideals of decency and common sense in all
of it's relation to the people and the community We

In our determination to continue to build the SUN,
feel it, and when it is full grown, people will always
hold in highest esteem the SUN it's editors and publishers
who maintain the principal of clean uplifting Journalism
for the benefit of the Negro race.
We very grateful to the well-wishers whose
kind words and comments have been received through the
years. Each kind remark has lifted another pebble
from rocky path and tended to make sacrifices
and we do mean sacrifices bearable.
Criticisms have come too usually from people who
say they want paper but would do nothing to help it's

"The Zionists of America" said
DR.. Neumann, "were beginning to
consider themselves unimportant.
In this vein, they felt that since
the state of Israel was already es-
tablished, they would no longer
be called upon to help. This feel
ing is entirely wrong and the Zion
lists of America should be made
to realize that Israel in its pres
ent infancy needs their support
more than never before"
Arabs Remain Threat
In the years to come, continued
DR.. Neumann, Israel will be be-
set with great difficulties, both
from within and without, and it
still will be surrounded by un-
friendly Arab states which will con-
tinue to try to destroy it's indie
pendence.

LONDON-Rl- The British Par liament expects to hear lot about animals after Christmas. A nation which brides itself on treating dumb beasts with kindness is in- sisting that there be more legisla- ton protecting them from cruelty. The animals will have to wait until after Christmas because, at the moment, there is no room for them in the crowded government legis- lative program.
 Legislation combating cruelty can he taken up only in the form of private members bills-measures introduced by individual legislators without government sponsorship.
 For the past several months, because of crush of business in which the government has had a vital interest, private member bills have not been accepted. The plan is to begin consideration of linn tied number of them at the years end, and the animals friends are preparing for action.
 Most widely discussed is the proposal to prohibit the use of
