IN MEMORiAM

In loving memory of our dear
mother and grandmother,
MRS. MADDIE E. JACKSON
who departed this life Dec. IL,
1948.
Two years ago you left US,
In this wild world all alone;
Your space in the home is always
vacant
Life is lonely without you,
And your voice no longer heard;
Here we have a time of sorrow
Pain and anguish day by day;
But there will come a time Of
gladnesS,
God will wipe all tears away.
Gone but not forgotten.

CAN have peace in our time, de-
clares Ralph Bunche, 1850 Nobel
Peace Prize Winner, in an article
released in Look Magazine today.
We can have peace when the
peoples of the world are willing to
work and pay and sacrifice for it.,
Bunche continues. "All the nations
must mobilize their peoples for
peace, as they would for war, by
welding into an irresistible force
the will that there shall be peace"
Indeed, if the peace is lost
through our complacency, our lack
of awareness and determined eff
fort" warns the Look article, "the
blame would be shared by all of
us = peoples and governments
whose intentions were sincerely
peaceful as well as by those whose
aggressive actions provoked war"
