Your Union And A Saturday Ball Game
BY Elliott Carlton

BY Elliott Carlton
ball game yesterday. 1t Of those fathers
and days and took my boy along.
We had good time What with hot dogs orange drinks,
peanuts and winning had really good
time.
Yesterday, by the way Saturday.
So what?
That's what said too for moment when the thought
struck So Saturday So what? What's so unusual
about going a game a Saturday afternoon?
Well you and | and everyone else tend to take too
much for granted Why say spend Saturday after
in having good time?
Sure should But let's think about it for a moment
Suppose you're forty maybe little more Did your Dad
take you Saturday afternoons?
The chances that he didn't Not that he didn't love
you He loved you much you love children But ne
couldn't possibly take you to ball game on Saturday
You see he working
Yes, he working and he wasn't being paid overtime
1t was just another day in the week.
Your father didn't like that He didn't like that and lot
other things about his job That's why he got together
the other who worked with him and formed union
local. or just joined that already in operation
And in the long years that followed father and the
other union worked together for better pay and better
conditions Saturdays off for instance overtime pay
But that's all there is to this little story We saw the
yesterday They had Abrams Reese Sider ROD
inson Hodges Campanea Furo and Branca playing yester
day. Different religions different different national
backgrounds but all playing together as a team.
Just like union. And maybe that's why they'll win the
pennant
Here's hoping that I'll be able get ticket for the World
Series game that will be held Saturday So many folks now
have Saturdays off!

sas Democrat.
Does the Arkansas editor mean that
the people of the south have become so bad
that they will not observe the law? We
know gangsters, common thieves, bootleg
gers, etc. will not observe the laws of the
land, but it is unthinkable to even enter
tain the remote idea that substantial citi-
zens of the south will fail in observance
of the law.
The Democrat continues, "The only kind
of progress that can be made fast is pro-
gress downhill to worse conditions than ex-
listed before.
What conditions in this country can
be worse than racial segregation? Racial
segregation is solely responsible for ninety
five percent of all evil that exists in Ameri-
ca today. Segregation posons peoples
minds, and when that is done, there is no.
thing left but hate.
1t is our opinion that if these southern
editors who do the thinking for their people
would emphasize more the workings of de-
mocraey and put less emphasis on keeping
it from working, we'd all be better off.

will these students be told about the
Martinsville Seven, or about the Negro min
lister who was burned to death few weeks
ago by two white hoodlums for preaching a
sermon against segregation? Will they be
told that Virginia police have done nothing
to apprehend these two lynchers?"
He added, people in foreign countries,
as well as Negro Americans, will learn much
from the creation of this anticommunist
school in Virginia bastion of racism in
America.
They will see more clearly than ever
the hypocrisy Of those U. S. government
officials who seek to spread their racism to
every corner OF the world"

case, for the incident did happen, and among
followers of Christ'O
We have seen whites and Negroes side
by side in public gatherings in Little Rock
without incident When President Truman
spoke to the nation from the War Memorial
stadium in this city, white and Negro sat
side by side with the exception of the
Negroes who preferred segregation in the
absence of racial prejudice. When an in
ternational ice show played here, white and
Negro sat together in the coliseum and no
one was any worse off for doing so.
Were we to compare the racial COM
patibilty during the presence of President
Truman and the famous entertainers, WHO
held the interest of the people to such an
extent that racial hatred was discarded,
With the disturbance that took place over
seating arrangements in the House of the
Lord, the conclusion would offer no i'll
spiration.

PEACE iF YOU PLEASE

Although you may not believe it, war
and peace have their licensees in many
ways Several years ago we were being
told that war would be worth all II costs
Now we assume that the same people will
be telling us the, same thing about peace
II is my opinion that the genuine lasting
peace for which we hope and pray cannot
be obtained by fighting wars, nor will we
be any closer to it when and If the cease
fire order is given. If there is no peace
in the hearts of men, there shall forever
be a conflict. There arises question in my
mind whether or not ii Is true that the
source of war can very well be the same
source of peace.
Citing present peace negotiations OF
the Korean war we find that the UN, the US
and its allies were reported to have decided
TO call for an Arnistice in Korea. That was
the formula suggested by Soviet Russia re-
Gently, but we are still remembering that
Russia Is not on record as being a partic-
pant in the present conflict. Accordinr to

How the so-called democratic way of

countries in jim crow hotel in Virginia,
1t is reported.
The state of Virginia recently took lives
of the Martinsville Seven, Negroes who were
executed on a charge for which no white
man has ever been given the death penalty
The anti-comnunist school at the Jor
dan White Sulphur Springs hotel in Virginia
is said to be financed by group of retired
industrialists. Their aim is to send the stu
dents back to Europe, as they put it, "in-
spired with hope of accomplishment as well
as clear vision of a western world which
is essentially inspired with Christian ideals
and democratic philosophy"

secretary, commented What cynscism'

S. S. taylor

A few days ago, we looked at little
boy, or years old, who had been beaten
by his mother with a rope or wire till welts
and bruises stood out over his body and
there were also bruises and discolorations
on his face. We have no doubt that the boy
did something which exasperated his mo-
Their. In fact, children can be almost as
eexasperating to grown folks as grown folks
are to children. The only difference is that
the big bullying adult can slap, cuff, and
knock the child around while the child can
only get off to himself and whimper and
resolve to pay somebody back when he gets
older
The brutal beating which this boy had
undergone made the writer reflect serious
ly on the beating and bullying of children
by parents and teachers 1t is bad enough
to strike a child under any circumstances
but when the striking is done under such
conditions as to leave discolorations, marks
bruises, and cuts on the body we think there
ought to be law against it. In fact, we
understand that there is a law against such
wanton handling of children. Not even a
parent has the right to punish in such a
fashion.
Too often, the punishment Of the child
Is not so much the inflction of discipline"
on the child so much as it Is the expression
of irritation, annoyance, evaporation, and
temper by the parent, guardian, or teacher.
TO the average person, the well disciplined
chlld who is afraid to do anything which
will offend the adults who govern Cor rather
misgovern) him by virtue of superior
strength, legal authority, moral nsensitvtv.
and thoughtless unconcern about the final eff
fects Of their 'punishments." To MANY
child, the adult is a capricious person like
~ to erupt into violence on unpredictable oc-
casions for unforesecable reasons.
The effect of slappinr, beating bullying
is usually defective personality The child
grows to have either a sullen response to
authority and persons in authority, or a
maladiustment toward his entire social
circle, or cowed and cowardly reaction
