Hello there, here and every
where. The fall has come, and the
summer has event." and I don't
think it happened by accident. Hope
you like my poetry. These few
chilly days caught many of us un-
prepared In Montgomery, Ala.
the Negro underprivilege boys will
have a town of their own. Why
couldn't it be for all the youth,
after all there are other under
privileged youth besides Negroes.
A boystown like Father Flanagan;
Boystown can't be beat-No creed
nor color. Joe Louis, our brown
prize, is writing a book, haven't
learned the title yet 80. That guy
DR.. Bunche, has received another
medal. 1t is said Swiss producer
is planning a film "The Mediator" ,"
to be based on DR.. Bunche'S life.
It is strange some of the great pro-
ducers of California hadn't thought
of that, since that is his native
home state. 1t is said prophet is
never honored at home. Gen. Ike
Eisenhower prexy of Columbia U,
says of DR.. Bunche, "The greatest
statesman this country has pro-
duced."
In Kansas City, the Bishop made
the decision to close the Jim Grow
Catholic High school; now there
are II colored students enrolled in
five Catholic High schools in Kan
sas City for the 1949-50 school year
. Down in New Orleans, the city
park commissioners insisted upon
racial segregation at the park sta
dunn so the Catholic archbishop
cancelled the annual observance of
holy hour at the stadium. The pre-
late said my church want to in
clude members of Negro Holy
Name societies, as the expression
of holy faith and universally of
the membership of our church" If
things like that continue to happen,
something will soon be done about
it, even in the deep South.
Wednesday, Oct. II is known as
Columbus Day. You know he is
the guy who discovered this coun-
try in 1892. It has been said that
this country had been discovered
before by other guys, but Colum-
bus got the credit because his ex-
plorations led to colonization. Did
you know that his body was dug
up and re-buried five times, the
last time back at the first place it
was buried-in Seville, 400 years
before. Thought for today, is a
thought from Walter White: "No
matter what you do, there will be
people who viii misinterpret your
motives, deliberately or through
ignorance. Decide in your heart
what is right-talk it over with
God-and then, having made your
decision, stand by it." Bye Now
So long-'till then.

In MARYLAND, Report Declares

Service and the State Soil Conser-
vation Committee.
The report dealt at length with
the. danger of depicting underground
water supplies.
I'm some instances, the overpump-
age of underground water so de-
pleted the local supply that salt
water from the bay or harbor was
drawn into the wells.
Pure water could formerly be OBJ
tanned in the Baltimore area by
digging well as few feet deep, but
in the early 1940s it would have
been necessary to drill to depth oi
$50 to 100 feet in some places before
finding water"
Noting that the annual cutting o1
trees has exceeded the growth, the
commission advises a proper balance
be established to prevent rapic
runoff, thereby checking the water
and preventing soil erosion.
To establish this balance, 1t sug.
gests a large scale program of tree
planting be established, backed BY
an initial appropriation of S105,00C

he saw no reason why the program

There will be no difference in the

because these services are under
