True And Tried Friends
A. r. Cunningham

There is an old adage that says
friend In need is friend indeed. This state
ment though gray with age is as true today
as II was when II was first uttered. There
Is no one who can deny II. This country of
ours has had Its enemies and II has its
friends To know your real friends is of
much concern 10 an individual as well as TO
a nation or state.
A friend in need is certainly one indeed
The ant that bit the hunter who was aiming
10 shoot the dove that had rescued the ant
from drowning few days before was sure
~ a friend to the dove The little mouse that
gnawed the ropes that had trapped the
great lion that the hunters had caught was
indeed a friend to the lion.
The above stories teach lessons that
men created in the image and likeness of
God often neglect wilfully and refuse TO
render assistance where assistance is need
ed after they have been blessed with the
helm of others. Not only have individuals
been guilty Of this but nations have likewise
been derelict in rendering aid to others who
have helped them.
In this our great L. s., the greatest and
richest in the world of the democracies, who
at present Is looked upon as the staff and
the standard for other countries to follow
and initiate, has not been gutless in rem.
dering rights due one group in her borders
that has never faltered or failed her in time
of peace and in times of war. This group
has been in her midst for over three hun.
dred years and not one traitor has been
found among them This group has titled her
farms, built the towns, cleared the forest.
raised her food and built her roads and
homes without owning any for themselves.
This group made 1t possible for them to
live In luxury while they lived In sauacr
They have made II possible for them to
attend schools and colleges while they toiled
without pay and sufficient food on their Ia.

should be a government of the white peo-
pie by the white people and for the white
people, with limited provision for others.
While we marshall our best blood and
weapons against autocracy abroad, there is
thus group which would have us practice
autocracy at home so far as race is con-
cerned. This policy carried to its logical con-
clusion would ALLEVIATE Japan, China, India,
Pakistan, Africa and every other dark race
of the world Democracy cannot survive
half-dominant and half dominated The
struggle must go on till we stand forth
champions of democracy that includes all
races, sects and nationalities, or until the
nation bushes the cry for democracy and
takes its place beside the dead autocraces of
the past and the living autocracies of the
present.
Senator Mccarthy drew round after
round of applause with attacks on the
Truman administration. Anybody could in
Savannah.
The prophets of the present can predict
with the certainty of the prophets of the
past that this nation cannot move backwards
and continue to live dominantly among the
family of the nations. The issues have been
too prominently joined ever to be dismissed
No successful candidate of any major party
can ever again in this nation advocate caste
and domination based on race as the Ameri-
can way of life Whatever may or may moi
happen in the future, the present admins
tration has banished forever from the ma
ton the day when major party can take
as one of its principal tenets the oppression

Let's Learn From The Brooklyn Dodgers

OF the second place team.
You could have offered twenty 10

there would have been no takers They
couldn't miss. You said So said so. Every.
one said so. We were all agreed: They
couldn't miss.
Yeah,
Well you know what happened That
lead was nibbled away. Week after week
and day after day. Then there was no lead
left
Give the Dodgers credit for a last ditch
rally But the process had become a force
OF its own that eliminated in an overwheln.
ing last moment surge.
The Dodgers lost. The greatly favored
Dodgers who couldn't lose went down IN
defeat.
Let's ask ourselves this question. Is
ulis country's lead our lead being nibbled
away? Certainly a parallel seems to OK.

OF the Brooklyn Dodgers.
