 E GIVEN SALUTE
 AZ GOOD kElCHB0R

James Walsh, district traffic manager for Pan American World Airways at Nome, Alaska, was saluted as Good Neighbor over the coast to coast radio program Breakfast In Hollywood" Monday.
 It all started when Mrs. Ben F. Gillette at Nome wrote Good Neighbor" letter to the program. It read:
 Way up here in Alaska, we enjoy your program whenever we can hear it. Our Good Neightor here in Nome is an outstanding young man who was born right here. He is James Walsh by name-Jimmie for short-who is the Pan American World Airways agent here.
 Ever since he was a little boy

and delivered the milk from the only two cows Nome has ever seen, through fair weather and blizzards, he has been fairly bursting with personality and a sincere de- sire to do everything he can to help anyone-things he has no obligation to do. The nice part about it is that he means 1t and seems always anxious to do some thing for somebody in the little courteous ways that count in life.
 T hope you will 'PanAm an orchid to him. The whole town of Nome would love to see him hon ored Nome-where not even a tree grows and the only gardens are ln pots on window sills."
 Walsh will receive an orchid from Hollywood because of Mrs. Gillette'S letter, and his reputation for being an outstanding Good Neighbor.

Workers; United Furniture Work CTS; United Clearinghouse Workers; United Fur Workers.
 Significantly not in this list is E the International Longshoremens Union, headed by Harry Bridges. Although the leading CIO leftist, Bridges can not take his union out of the CIO. An attempt would split it wide open. He is already under powerful attack within the organization.
 However, it is reliably reported that Bridges had a leading hand in the decision that convened the leftist meeting. If he doesn't show up personally. he is certain to play a decisive role behind -the-scenes. He is the No. choice to head their new leftist labor organiza- ton.
 Meanwhile, Murray and his anti Communists leaders are setting the stage for clean break with the ".efties" at the Cleveland conven- ton. Regardless of what the lat ter do at their August 30 meeting the CIO chiefs intend to purge heir rolls in Cleveland.

SHORTS

In early American days, a fav- orite gift to Presidents was wigs. John Quincy Adams received more than 50 wigs while in the White House Since 1889, the U. s. has expended more than s72000,- 100000 in foreign loans and aid. That is nearly three times the na- tional debt in 1882. Senate Democratic floor leader Scott Lu- cas is certain his Republican op- ponent next year will be former Rep.

BIG TIPPER

For months, Rep. J. Parnell Thomas, R., N. J., awaiting trial on kickback charges, was patient at the Army's Walter Reed Hos pital. With the exception of $1- a-day charge for meals, Thomas two major operations and other extensive medical care were free. Taxpayers footed the bill
 Recently he was released from the hospital It is the custom for civilian patients, upon leaving, to give their attendants a bank note as a token of appreciation for their care. Thomas observed this tradition-after a fashion.
 To his attendants and nurses he presented autographed admission cards to the visitors gallery of the House.
 Note-With. both chambers of Congress undergoing extensive reno- vation, visitors galleries are shut down and will remain so until next year.

SPRING CLEANING
By Ruth Toy1or

All this great country Of ours-in city town and

in goy coIors, cleaning homes from otic to cellar
storing away the dark coverings of winter stotnq our
garden pIots-in short. going through the some
spring cleaning that predecessors did eoch wear
since they first cleared their bit Of wilderness and coIIed
it home.
But this year there is another kind Of sprino cIeon
ing need to do. The rising of sop, the BUDDING of
the trees the gradual growth of sun-touched country
side into bloom and beauty indeed the very freshness
and ceorness of spring weather should have it's coun
terpot in hearts, in minds and in our lives Let
clean houses for spring-but let also clean
our heart for that joyous season.
Let and refurbish our unequo|Ied hertooe
the institutions OF democracy with their equal riqhts
for o regardless of race creed color or Gloss LET us
GLOW bios senseIess prejudice to moke US dis
crminote against neighbor Let us not "co homes"
mentoIy Judge him by generoIities rother thon
individual very like ourselves
Let give full of Joy to the fortunate
children in lond-ond from our oraesse LEI
share with those unfortunate little ones over secs
who, in the years of devastating war learned the terror
of hatred Let us keep children from this scoIdno
flame. Let them not learn the bitterness of intolerance
because of some careless word of ours
Let US clean our minds of prejudice Let US keep
our indignation for the unworonted act rother thon
for those enmeshed in it. Let us condemn the deed
other the doer And let us conserve our eneroies TO
strive for principle rother thon against people
Losty, let live ond lean and grow as nature does
Let there be whitening of the spirit our sprinqtime

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: One reason that comes
Saturday Night, I like to Visit my
Favorite spot along the Ole Ave.
nue. and enjoy good bate Of
Fresh friend Fish and ice Cold
Beer, is that / have found it a
never failing source of wisdom,
the kind, generally unadorned,
but always expressive of a depth
of understanding, perhaps not
readily transmissable but at all
times satisfying the needs for
understanding of the individuals
in certain category. Enjoying
my Fish and Beer this past Sat
urday Night I was listening to
a conversation not far away, the
subject of which was DIGNITY
AS the talk went on I heard
somebody define dignity after
stating that dignity was what
Aunt Haggar's Chillun's needed
to like, Especially the women
AS it was being explained One
fellow says, You see some of our
best looking women they just
don't like for no man to act
with dignity. The first thing they
IL say is, huh, chile, every time
you see him he's got on a color
and tie and standing around talk
ing almost in whisper. I
wouldn't fool with him for nuth-
in He thinks He's some-
thing. 1t was further explained
that this was said because most
of our folks just didn't like dig
nifty. I had to agree as / sat
listening that this was more'n
seventy-five per cent right. This
like of appreciation for dignity
is one of the chief reasons that
we as Aunt Haggar's ChilIun's
are still suffering from the pub
lie conduct of most of us.
started off to tell how one fell
low explained the meaning of
the word DIGNITY. Pointing at
one of the group at the table he
said DIGNITY is the way you
act yourself SO that people will
respect you, but that's jest for
you. Now D T G M T A :
t | 0 N that means when
everybody is got it. What all of
us needs, he continued, for our
self as each, is more DIGNITY.
What we need togather as a race
is more DIGNITATION. AS I sat
watching / new that everyone in
the group had got the meaning
of what was being said and per-
haps to far greater extent
than would have been possible if
Dignity and its application to the
individual and the group had
been explained to them by some
learned professor. Yes, the Ole
Avenue of a Saturday Night is
a great place, and where most
times the UNDERSTANDING is
far deeper than the wisdom.
