wish I knew just what to say,
To introduce this part;
It's on my mind both night and

I wish l had the children here,
Well, then l couldn't write;
My mind would be in such cheer,
My heart in such flight
That l would not believe my eyes,
That I was not in Paradise.
The above poem was written by

BIRTH OF A SALESMAN
Continued from page twenty-five

These men high up in the lum-
Der business are quick thinkers.
George Spenlow had seen the way.
Nov listen," said Spenlow.
He had taken Lord Ellsworth
affectionately by the arm and was
walking him up and down the
lawn. Nov listen," said he. Il
think you and l can get together"
Lord Ellsworth, to show that
his heart was in the right place,
smiled another conciliatory smile.
Eyes, yes, I know" said George
Spenlow, wincing. But l think
we can. I'll put>my cards on the
table. l know all about it. My
wife. She gets ideas into her head.
She imagines things"
Lord Ellsworth, though logged,
was able to understand this. MY
late wife was like that" he said.
"All women are like that" said
Spenlow. They let their imagina-
ton run away with them. They
entertain unworthy suspicious"
HERE again Lord Ellsworth was
able to follow him. He said he
had noticed the same thing in his
sister Constance, and George Spen-
low began to feel encouraged.
"Sure, sisters, wives, late wives
E. they're all the same. So here's
what. What you tell her is that
you found me enjoying a quiet
home afternoon with a few old
college friends. :. Wait, wait"
said George Spenlow urgently.
"Wait while finish"
He had observed his guest shake
his head. This was because a mos
quito had just bitten Lord Ems
worth on the ear, but he had no
means of divining this. Shakes of
the head are as hard to interpret
as the language of the eyes.
"Wait while l finish," said
George Spenlow. Here's what l
was going to say. You're man
of the world. You want to take
the broad, sensible outlook. You
want to study the situation from
every angle and find out what
there is in it for you. Now then
how much?"
"You mean how many?"
"Eh?"
How many would you like?"

George Spenlow, when l said
fifty, l meant a hundred. l think
that's nice round number"

''Or at Christmas.

Extraordinarily difficult"
Shall we say $500 on account?"
That would be capital.
And remember" said George
Spenlow, with all the emphasis
at his disposal. "Old college
friends"
A passer-by, watching Lord
Ellsworth as he returned some
twenty minutes later to Freddie's
dream house down the road,
would have said to himself that
there went an old gentleman who
had found the blue bird, and he
would have been right. Lord
Ellsworth, as he fingered the
crisp roll of bills in his trouser
pocket, was not actually saying
"Whoopee" but it was a very
near thing. He was feeling as if a
great burden had been removed
from his shoulders.
HE girl was asleep when he
reached the house. Gently, with
out disturbing her slumbers, Lord
Ellsworth reached for her bag
and deposited the five hundred
dollars in it. Then he tiptoed out
and set a course for the golf club.
He wanted to find his son Freddie.
"Ah, Frederick" he would say.
$50 you sell dog biscuits, do you?
Pooh! Anyone can sell dog bis
cults. Give me something tougher,
like richly bound Encyclopedias of
Sport. Now, l strolled out just
now and sold a gross at the first
house l visited. So don't talk to
me about dog biscuits. In fact,
don't talk to me at all, because l

GENEVA, (JTA) = The U. N.

social committee this week ap-
proved a resolution designed to
eliminate statelessness. The res
olution urges all governments to
examine sympathetically applica-
tons for naturalization from
stateless persons residing habit

The Agudas Israel World Or
ganization earlier presented a
memorandum to the AID Hoe
Committee on Statelessness urg-
ing the adoption of Article XIV
of the U. N. Human Rights
Declaration, asserting that every
human being has a right to ma

The Agudah memorandum
suggested further that supervis-
ion of the Convention be entrust-
ed to the office of a High Com
missioner for Refugees and that
organizations enjoying consulta-
tive status at the United Nations
be permitted to submit proposals
to the commissioner. The Agudah
also suggested that the Conven-
ton be open to ratification by

Mayer, JDC's director of oper-
atoms in Switzerland for 10 years
and a leading figure in the Swiss
Jewish community, died of a
heart attack at the age of 81, on
Sunday night, July 80, in st.
Moritz. A funeral took place
Wednesday in st. Gall, the little
Swiss community in wifi C h he
made his home, and from which
he directed a fabulous wartime
rescue network in behalf of Jews
imprisoned in Hitler's Europe, at
the expenditure of several mil
lions of dollars.
In making known the news,
Edward M. M. Warburg, Chair
man of the Joint Distribution
Committee said, "Jews every
where have lost a rare and in
spring figure with the death of
Sally Mayer. He gave his fullest
devotion to the cause and welfare
of his fellow Jews, and was re-
sponsible for helping to save lit
orally hundreds of thousands. He
believed implicitly that it was the
duty of all to be their brothers
keeper and he fulfilled that be-
lief in a manner equalled by few
men in his time"

BOLD WORDS
FROM BAPTISTS
BY FRED A. STERN

The Baptists comprise the Sec
ond largest Protestant denomina-
ton in the United States, being
exceeded in numbers only by the
Methodists. The present occupant
of the White House, Harry S.
Truman, is member of this sect.
Last week the Baptists held an
international congress in Cleve-
land, where twenty thousand del
egates representing member
ship of eighteen million in fifty
two countries gathered. In strong
language they issued a manifesto
against racial and religious dis
elimination and segregation, a
manifesto in which they did not
spare themselves, in which they
had the courage to recall their
own sins in this connection. It
was in recognition of their own
failure to rid the Baptist church
of all discrimination, the dele
gates stated, that they called
upon their own congregation to
take the lead in the movement
for equal treatment of all racial
groups.
1--WE believe" says the resolu-
ton adopted by this great gather
ing, ''that discrimination and seq
regation based on religion, race,
color and culture are officially
and morally indefensible and con-
trary to the Gospel of Christ and
the principle of freedom for
which Baptists stand" Baptists in
their respective countries were
asked to use their influence to
have discriminatory laws repeal
ed and o h er laws enacted to
safeguard the rights Of oppressed
racial groups, while they called
upon each individual Baptist to
his own soul with a view
to freeing himself from racial and
cultural prejudices.
The latter task, Kidding ones
self of ones own prejudices, is
perhaps the hardest of all that
the Baptists have set themselves.
It is all the more heartening to
the cause of good will among men
to know that they are not finch
ing fir o m it. Jews, particularly
here in the United States where
BaptiSts play such a prominent
part in the life of the country,
cannot fail to applaud the efforts
Of this and other Christian groups
during recent years to apply
Christian teachings to the daily
relations among men here on
earth.

technicians, process specialists,

tendent, supervisors, technical
statesmen, and technical writers.
The program provides a
thoroughgoing background which
meets all the educational require
ments of semi-professional techni-
cal vocations. The student at the
conclusion Of the course is
thoroughly prepared to enter the
particular work for which he is
adapted, trained and experienced.
In addition every effort is made at
Sinclair to see that the overall
detectives of the college c%uriculla
are met. Convocation and orienta-
ton help accomplish this purpose.
The need for Negro high school
youth to consider the potentialities
of this training cannot be over
impressed. It all too often occurs
that industries let down their bar
/ riers and ask agencies to send
Negro applicants which can now
where be found.
In Dayton this situation exists
as surveys have shown. Agencies
like the Urban League are MAX
ing every effort to bring about an
Improvement. This can only be ac-
complished by the serious appli-
