aHeartS That Are Joined

Hearts That Are joined
Just fifty years ago. two heart:
were joined together.
And neither God or man has
caused to sever.
We are here to bring back to
their mind
The joys of many years they
left behind.
When two have lived in peace
for fifty years.
They should be greeted with
warm hearty cheers,
So we arc here to honor them
this happy day,
With our congratulations we
all do wish to say.
The children God sent them
just numbered three.
What joy they have brought is
plain for all to see.
Maynard found his life work
in school.
The main lesson he found,
should be the Golden Rule.
Ada's work has been to help
mother and Dad
And for love that it shows will
never be sad.
She has been so Staunch and
ever so true.
Just helping in ways what ever
she might do.
Nora has gone to help those
who are i'll.
Our work taxes us where ever
its God will
She will be blessed for her
service to others,
For she is doing Gods work
while helping her brothers.
Their grandchildren have only
numbered two.
But they have brought JOY to
their hearts in things they
do.
This day many friends have
come to express,
Their blessings of JOY and con-
tinued happiness.
Their are many faces that were
here many years ago,
But they have gone to a better
place. God thought it better
so.
There are many that come from
far and near,
And hope tokens they brought
bring JOY and cheer.
We wish them many, many
more happy days
With peace and contentment
we all can say.
Until the day when they reach
that golden shore,
We wish them happiness for
ever more.

A Representative At Work
Sic 'em Carl!


In order to be favorite Of the people must prove
you willing to fight to what is right and just
for their benefit
This is just what Representative Carl Sims has done
and continues do since he elected OF the first
Negroes the legislature last fall Maybe some call this
playing politics. If it s it is the kind of politics need
and we hope he keeps at it.
The daily paper carried article stating Rep Sims
has locked horns with the Attorney General accusing
him of "beatng the devil around the BUSH by evadng
direct opinion whether desegregation in high school
districts can be accomplished only through vote Of
electors.
1t seems that decision important and far reaching
this should be considered at time This issue may
be before the legislature at but before the
people of Arizona and should be ruled for the benefit
of the thousands of Negro children whose plight hang
ing in mid-air awaiting the decisions Of school boards
throughout the state.
Imagine handful Of men, a few prejudiced
electors having the authority to send these children IN
question 20 and 80 miles daily to school if they were
epers when these children have school houses at their
front doors.
inconcevalbe that to decide this ISSUE would be
a special consideration, Mr. Wilson!
The people of Arizona have right to assume that
you stand ready correct wrong whenever called upon
to do
Hats off to Carl Sims for his spunk and courage to
fight! May he belong lived!

The Crystal
BALL
By Ernestine Mathews

Hello Everybody
Again I stare into the great
Crystal Ball to foretell the
strange future.
The Crystal Ball shows me a
very beWildered person. I believe
it's David Hicks. Yes, it is Hicks,
waiting and longing for his long
gone friends, Glen Love and
Charles Hopper, who temporarily
are on vacation. (Cheer UP Hicks,
they'll be back soon0
Now my eyes follow the crystal
light to a project where I see
a very large crowd of people =
they're really excited. I wonder
why? Oh! Now I see. There's a
gang of girls fighting, although
the crystal ball won't allow me
to call their names I wonder who
will end up in the Mack and Long
Hospital or Heard and Mathews
Mortuary?
Somewhere in this town some
one is very angry, in fact, that
person is so angry that the crystal
ball shakes. Now I see = it's Ru-
dolph Sims = he's all the cause of
the excitement. I wonder why? Oh!
Now I Understand. I see Jean
Heard at a drive-in holding hands
with a boy but the Crystal Ball
won't allow me to call his name
either. Again very bright light
dims the crystal light. Whatever
it is, comes all the way from the
east side. I wonder what could it
be that shines with such brilliance.
On, it's c. L. Robinson's shoes still
shining.
Now a big object darkens the
crystal light. 1t appears to be sing
ing a song = "Here I Sit In the
Moonlight, forsaken by women,
and men, and I'll never eat onions
again." My advice is to go to the
Clark Drug Store, 1914 E. Palm
Lane, and ask for Heard and
Mathews mouth wash = guaran-
teed to kill that onion breath.
If you want this wonderful
mouthwash by mail, send 75c to
926 M. Apartment, 1880 So. 7th
Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona. If not
satisfied, none of your money
will be cheerfully refunded.
Two lonely figures also darken
the crystal light. I can't make out
who they are right now = oh, I
see = they are Joe Williams, the
other, Giles (ShoD Therce. be-
lieve they are singing. I can hear
better now They are singing "Why
doesn't somebody haul off and
love us sometimes"
Why, there's Mr.. Rogers john

They Should Be Banned

Buried among the items Of legislation pro-
posed by the Davis subcommittee on District
crime was an amendment to the dangerous
attention. This suggested amendment would add
switch blade knives to the list of criminal
weapons whose possession is banned in Wash
ington. The proposal is important because of
the increasingly widespread use of this type of
knife by local criminals.
switch-blade knife is an innocent-looking
but potentially dangerous cutting instrument
that can be bought in many hardware and other
stores for small cost. 1t is so named because by
pressing button the side of the handle
long blade instantly switches into slicing (or
stabbing) position. Thus with an almost sleight-
of-hand motion, the knife may be whipped out
of the pocket and made ready for whatever use
Its owner desires. Police reported to the Davis
group that majority of stabbings and cuttings
in Washington are committed with switch blade
knives. Last year there were nearly /, 400 knife
assaults in the District, many of them in the
course of holdups.
If there we're any lawful use of a switch
blade knife that the conventional pocket knife
does not offer, there might be some reason to
continue to permit its use But the only advan-
tage the push-button knife has over the type
instantaneous operation And that attribute
makes it the preferred weapon in most knife
assaults The Star agrees with the Davis sub
committee that swtch-blade knives should be
banned from general use.

Take Time for q Survey

The recommendation of regional committee
for an engineering study of Northern Virgnias
critical sewage-dsposal problems is well-rea-
soned and should be adopted promptly by the
four political subdivisions concerned Although
1t is true that the State Water Control Board
is breathing down the necks' of communities
which lag in anti-pollution measures it would
be a mistake to plunge ahead blindly," as the
committee expressed it. An engineering survey
now, jointly financed by Arlington and Fairfax
Counties and the cities of Alexandria and Falls
Church, is an essential first step in cleaning up
the badly contaminated Potomac River. Skipping
this first step could lead to costly and ineffective
measures that would prove to be only temporary
remedies satisfactory neither to the Water Con-
troll Board nor to the communities served.
Complicating the situation, of course is the
fact that Arlington, Fairfax and Alexandria
already have drawn up plans for separate sew
age treatment plants. Fairfax has borrowed the
money to begin construction and Arlington is
ready to do so Alexandria is faced with State
order to take positive action of some sort at
once But the committee is right in warning
against too much haste, in view of the possibility
of obtaining better and cheaper solution of
the pollution problem through joint action. The
committee pointed out in its report that present
plans for individual treatment plants offer only

This and That

"Babbitt" will remain, to us, the best
of MS books.
We believe it will stay so with most
readers.
There were other good ones from his
pen, but "Babbitt" somehow retains our
affections
That chapter telling about sunrise
over Zenith is one of the great chapters
in American fiction.
We are glad we read it when we were
younger, not older. Age does something
to the reader, as well as to the athlete.
Most ball players do not seem to func-
ton well beyond the age of 40 years,
most prize fighters not too far past 80
or 35 years, at the most.
We who prefer reading to almost any
other sport (even television) like to pre-
tend to ourselves that we can go on
reading with unabated enthusiasm to the
end Perhaps we fool ourselves, but
please don't tell anybody.
1t was reading happiness, then. to
have discovered George Babbitt and the
town of Zenith in our youth.
Though we might not have recognized
it at the time, it was true and whole
some experience for young men brought
up on the elder bearded poets.

we needed.

THE BATTLE of the censors appears
l. to have been joined again - this
time in Korea-and it's shame that
Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman isn't
around to participate.
History unjustly remembers Uncle
Billy primarily as man who was care
less with fire. From the standpoint Of
sheer color and vigor, however, his
march from Atlanta to the sea pales
beside his three-year running feud with
the American press during the Civil War.
Far from making an effort to get
along with the newspapermen who were
assigned to report his campaigns, Sher-
man publicly referred to them as "cow-
ardly newsmongers" and Infamous
dogs" and on one occasion tried to
have correspondent shot as a spy.
For their part, the newspapers. not yet
exactly models of responsibility. made
concerted effort to hound him out of
the Army and into lunatic asylum.
Cump Sherman came to public notice
as one Of the few commanders to be-
have decently at First Manassas. His
newspaper troubles started not long
after he was promoted to brigadier gen.
eral
Shortly after Sherman arrived in
Kentucky in the fall of 1861, a Cincin-
natl neWspaperman reported to the gen.
eral and announced himself as a cor
respondent. Sherman gave him two and
half hours to get on train back to
Ohio. When the newspaperman said
his readers wanted the truth Sherman
replied
Truth, eh? No, sir; we don't want
the enemy any better informed than
he iS
Word got around, and soon reporters
were sending home dispatches slyly al
luding to Sherman's fiery stare, his
habit of smoking cigars, and his pre-
occupied manner of pacing up and down,
lost in thought.
Eventually the unthinkable had to
happen. The same Cincinnati paper
whose reporter Sherman had chased
out of camp front-paged an item head
lined, General William T. Sherman
Insane"
"The painful intelligence reaches U.S."
the paper said, that General Sherman
is insane. 1t appears that he was, at
the time while commanding in Ken
lucky, stark mad" 1t continued for
several paragraphs.
The news item did little to improve
Sherman's opinion of newspapermen.
"As to the press of America" he said,
1T is a shame and reproach to a

Sinclair Lewis gave us about as much
naturalism, in the novel, as we could
stand.
That was his place. for us. He enabled
somewhat timid readers, bred in the
elder tradition. to see life as it really was.
So we have been able to take" modern
America in stride, without once losing
touch with ongfellow-thankS to Lewis.
Sinclair Lewis would have wondered
over this but we were all among his
most avid readers and admirers. Without
us, he would have remained mostly un-
known.
Emile Zola, in France, had rolled out
his Mana" and though we sneaked
bit to read him, somehow his stories
struck us as being about strange people
away off there.
Theodore Dresser was mostly unknown.
Though one went through high school,
and was graduated from college, his
name and works were not mentioned.
Even Walt Whitman he of the strange
verse, was an unknown name at one
time, and only beginning to be men
toned in the more proper and orthodox
smaller colleges.
1t was Sinclair Lewis who showed us
timid readers that there could be

opinion of myself that I am their butt
I shall begin to suspect myself of being
in a decline when a compliment ap-
pears in type" He would, he wrote his
wife. "get even with the miserable class
of corrupt editors yet"
The sanity story did not take hold
to any great extent, but it did give
other newspapers an opportunity to
comment on Sherman. The Chicago
Tribune's correspondent said he wasn't
so sure Sherman was crazy, but he did
consider the general of doubtful loyalty.
Sherman later retorted that If he had
to make choice he'd much prefer
bowling to the will of Bragg and Beau
regard-Confederate generals-than to
that of the Northern press.
At Shiloh, Whitelaw Reid Of the Gin
cinnati Gazette reported a rout that
apparently never occurred. Sherman
opined that Reid must have been speak
ing for himself. "He ran like scared
wolf" was how the general put it.
Things got much worse before they
got any better. 1t all came to a head
at Vicksburg, Miss Thomas w. Knox
OF the New York Herald had written a
rambling story of Sherman's failure,
blaming the loss Of the campaign en-
tirely on him. He mailed his dispatch
to New York through normal channels.
