"cHRISTIAN FRIENDS" TACKLE
PROBLEMS OF DISCRIMINATION

news items gathered from various
racial newspapers, and announc-
ing meetings to be held in Seattle
which have to do with human re-
lations. Our latest educational pro-
ject is a speakers panel of an in
terracial group of young people,
which is called American Con-
versations." We also help the
churches secure soloists for Sun
day morning services.
Problems of Discrimination
But besides our social and ed
ucational program, we are con-
cerned with the solution of specific
problems of discrimination which
are caused by prejudice. We have
an DISCRIMINATION Committee,
Committee on Restrictive Cove
nants and Community Attitudes
and a Legislative Committee, each
working in its own area to improve
conditions. We have cooperated
with other agencies in bringing
cieS of restaurants and other places
of public accommodation, in the
policies of auto insurance compa-
MES, in employment opportunities.
Our members worked actively in
helping to bring about passage of
the state law against discrimination
in employment. For years we have
been concerned about racial re-
strictions in local cemeteries, and
have been in continuous commune
cation with cemetery owners. Re-
Gently one of the cemeteries has
announced that it intends to change
its policy, to make all burial plots
available without discrimination.
At the present we are intensifying
our work on this problem, in the
hope that other cemeteries may
follow suit. We also send many
letters to legislators and other per-
sons in places of authority, in or
der to exert what influence we can
for more democratic practices.
These are some of the general
areas in which we are working. We
are not professional people. We
come from all walks of life. But
we are bound together in COM
mon work because we share a
common ideal. We have an Office
at 5145 Arcade Building and we
wish that you would stop in and
get better acquainted.

Social Contact Necessary
Occasionally the criticism is
made that it's too bad that such an
artificial method must be employed
to make people acquainted with
members of other races; that con-
facts should come in a more nat
ural way. To this we reply that it
certainly is too bad that society
is so segregated that most people
don't have natural contacts; but
since this is so, then manufacture
ed contact is all the more neces-
sary; and the good thing about it
is that the artificial contact soon
becomes a natural one, as real
friendships grow.
Mrs. Steinmetz, Founder
The GRE was organized in 1912
with charter membership of IT,
and under the energetic and de-
voted leadership of its founder,
Mrs. Edith Steinmetz, a former
missionary to the Philippines, its
membership has grown to more
than TOO. Mrs. Steinmetz moved
recently to San Diego, California,
and the new president of the

Rudd, missionary under the Wash

Financially, the program is sup
ported by voluntary contributions
made by members and other
friends. Anyone who is willing to
sign our statement of purpose is
welcome to work with us.
Educational Program
There is a real need for workers,
for even though our unique feature
is our emphasis on social activities,
we are not social only. We also
have an educational program,
which is carried out by securing
outside speakers for our monthly
meetings, and by making available
to other groups, representatives
from our Speakers Bureau, so that
the Christian Friends as well as the
general public may become better
informed about existing conditions
in race relations and stimulated
to do something about these con-
ditions. We publish monthly Ra-
cial Equality Bulletin, containing

Sentence Sermons
By Rev. Frank Clarence Lowry
For AMP

Some men and women even
loudly boast of not letting any
body put anything over them; but
when Satan dresses up his finery
and offers to keep all pockets full
he knows there will be plenty of
willing folks who will walk in
the counsel of the ungodly, stand
in the way of sinners and sit in
the seat of the scornful.
But ah, the man or the woman
who delights in giving God a
chance, will find that everything
like Job, that he or she possesses,
God will be delighted to- enhance.
Individually and collectively,
if in the churches this system
would become the general aim,
what a power for God would the
churches be in setting mems souls
aflame.
It was never intended that the
church of God should try to mimic
every worldly pursuit, but thru
humility, faith, love and patience,
bring forth abundant and eternal
fruit.
When God, without compromise
is given a real chance and in our
home-life church and state, we
uphold His name, then shall come

Hoss Opera Fan
Shot In The Foot

CHICAGO, Ill., They said it
could never happen. A shot rang
out in the Joy theater in Chicago
as hard riding cowboys dashed a
cross the screen in a red hot, gun
totin picture.
"I'm shot! cried Charles Carter,
who was enjoying the boss opera
with his wife and their child.
Sure enough, a bullet had pierced
his left foot.
The shot was fired by a woman
patron who carried the gun she
kept in her purse. Police said the
woman's child knocked the purse
to the floor and the pistol was dis
charged.
She disappeared during the up
roar and Carter was taken to
County hospital.

CYO Conudcts Another
Good Boxing Show
In Chicago, civic interest and
the first against juvenile delin-
quency r synonymous with the
Catholic Youth Organization. Last
week the CYO conducted another
set of excellent finals of it's an
nual boxing tournament before
$4,000 fans at the Chicago stadi-
um.
Boys from various races and of
various religions won titles. Good
craftsmanship was displayed, and
everybody enjoyed the fights, the
fans and the boxers, themselves.
Fights conducted by the CYO
r run under an ideal setup, one
in which no fighter has ever been
seriously injured. This system
guards the health of every boy
entering the ring, and it works
to see that he does not take too
much of a lacing when he has
lost.
It would be ideal if profession
al boxing could be operated just

as carefully and efficiently. Then
stumblebums would not be allowed
to fight year after year when they
no longer have it.
Back to the CYO most OF
the CYO activities are not cent
cred upon boxing, but are connect
ed with other projects. The box
ing meet provides most of the
funds needed for this group to re-
main active. Chicago's CYO cham
pions will meet teams from other
cities during the coming year to
raise more funds.
CYO activities may cover a
regular juvenile delinquent put in
care for rehabilitation, os it may
serve adults in certain types of
study. 1t could serve a youngster
who likes to play checkers or
one who prefers football.

ton work gives to them a clos
er contact with the outside
world. The many projects which
are chosen to fill a fiscal year
include a variety of subjects,
some cultural and some educa-
tional.
There has been a renewed
trend in home sewing since the
war and work shops in this
county have directly helped doz-
ems Of women and are reach
ing many indirectly through
project leaders. Projects on
knowing woolens and knowing
rayons have given the women a
better knowledge of these two
kinds of cloth and will eventu-
ally influence store managers to
buy and place for sale a con-
tinually better and more deSir-
able product. This is one type
of free advertising.
A fine project is being planned
to inform women of all the
new packaged products which
have come into being since the
war.
The projects are all designed
to help the homemaker to buy
better quality products with her
housekeeping dollar, as well as
helping the grocer to improve
the quality of his merchandise
progressively.
Projects on housing and re-
modelling are now in progress
and IS families are taking ad-
vantage of specialist advice
which may save them building
dollars as we'll as disappoint-
mentS and mistakes.
1t was over a year ago that
the women of the county clubs
begged for information on
Brucellosis, commonly known as
undulant fever or Bangs disease.
AS a result of the educational
work on Brucellosis, four COM
munities in the county have I'M
dertaken wholesale vaccination
of replacement heifer calves
and $50 farm families have had
their dairy COWS tested for
BrucellosiS with all reactor ami
mails being removed.
Our county agent gives the
club women credit for the sue
cess of this campaign of work,
and of knowledge to STAMP out
this dread disease in our coun-
ty.
Several sections of business
facts have been presented to the
clubs, and information hereto
fore unknown by the majority
of women has evolved to give
us a better understanding of
our laws and regulations.
Repeated requests are coming
in every year for work shops on
upholstering, frozen foods,
meats, vegetables and nutrition.
Requests are being made for
new clubs, particularly by our
friends the Grow and Chey-
enne Indian women. We are
very thrilled by their requests
for clubs and are especially
anxious to share with them

Now we come to the sad part
of our year. The county COM
miSSionerS have hesitated to re-
new the extension agreement to
include Home Demonstration
work, because they question the
value of the work to Big Horn
county.
However, they have agreed to
hold a public hearing on Tues

preston of attitudes and opini-
ons concerning Home Demon
Stration work.
Persons who are directly or
indirectly interested and who
wish to express confidence or
rejection of this phase of ex-
tension work are urged to be
present.

PLANTING NURSERY STOCK

PLANTING NURSERY STOCK
Careful attention to planting
operations will have an impor-
tant bearing on the successful
establishment of nursery grown
trees and shrubs. One of the
first things to consider is the
fertility of the soils in which
this material will be planted.
It should be well supplied with
organic matter in the form of
well-rotted manure, and also
chemical fertilizers. 1t should
also be thoroughly prepared in
advance of planting.
When the nursery stock ar
rives it should be planted as
soon as possible. If there must
be a delay in planting, the
roots should be soaked well.
The bundle may be stored in a
cool. moist, dark root cellar if
one is available. Or better, the
stock can be "heeled in" out
doors. Select a place under the
shade of a tree, or on the north
side of the house and dig a
sloping trench. Remove the
nursery stock from the bundle
and spread it along the trench.
Fill in the trench and tramp
the soil around the roots we'll.
Water the soil generously. Plant
the shrubs and trees in their
permanent position as soon as
possible.
When handling the nursery
stock for planting, carry the
trees and shrubs in a pail of
water or in a wet burlap sack.
Do not expose the roots to dry
ing winds or hot sun. Dig the
planting hole for each shrub
and tree deep enough and wide
enough to accommodate the roots
without crowding or cramping.
Plant the nursery stock slightly
deeper than it existed in the
nursery row. Fill the hole with
good topsoil and tramp the
soil in we'll around the roots
of the plant. Fill up the hole
with good topsoil almost level
with the ground. Give each
planted shrub and tree a good
soaking of water to settle the
soil around the roots.
Occasional thorough wateringS
will be advisable during dry
spells. Keep the areas around
the base of the trees cultivated
at least during the early years
of the growth. Shrub borders
are best kept cultivated at all
times.
Younger nursery stock, pro-
viding it is well grown, is as a
general rule easiest to eStab-
lish. Planting young trees is
desirable if one wants to train
the trees in any particular man
ner. BY all means it is neces-
sary to prune back a newly
planted tree or shrub as much
as one-third to one-half just
after planting. In the nursery
many tree roots are broken, and
so this pruning in necessary to
balance the top with the roots.
It is also desirable to prune off
any broken roots or excessively
long roots at the time of plant
ing.
Evergreens are more difficult
to establish. Nursery grown ev-
ergreens are usually easier to
establish than wild tranSplants
as their root system is more
compact. The nursery-man also
wraps the roots with burlap be-
fore sending the plans to Gus
toners. This burlap should not
be removed until the evergreen
has been placed in its planting
hole. There it only needs to be !

Younger Generation
IGNORES Old Customs
OF Romance in Japan

TOKYO, Feb. 81 (CDN Its

may not like it, but there isn't
much they can do about it.

Is enough to convince their elders
they are going to pot in a wheel
barrow.
Except in the most sophisticated
circles, dating was never heard Of
In prewar Japan. Everything was
done to keep the sexes apart. They
were separated in schools, at fam
fly gatherings, and even in movie
houses there were separate Sec
tions for males, females and fam
flies.
A girl who had a boy friend
could be expelled from school.
Was Family Arrangement.
Meetings between boys and girls
were, with few exceptions, ar
ranged by their families. Mar
riage was usually the result and
love was purely incidental.
Even in postwar Japan many
perhaps most-marriages still are
arranged. But the old ways are
dying fast.
Today 1t is common sight to
see Japanese students and their
girl friends strolling unselfcon-
sciously through the town.
Office workers were among the
first to break the ice. Others have
emulated the casual social be-

Much Of this may be attributed
to postwar generalization and the

But contributing factor is that
