Life At A Glance
BY Ray Lawrence

From all the news you gather from the
newspapers, comments over the radio and
TV about the growing tension between the
great powers of the World, you wonder just
how much the leading statesmen are inn
pressed during the week of brotherhood"
To tell you the truth, from all the talk a
bout war, and the swift shifting of world
opinion nobody knows in what direction, the
word brotherhood" becomes secondary. But
war makes talk about brotherhood and peace
seem outdated.
But strangely enough, history, at least
modern history in particular, has shown
that war Is the determining factor in the
fall of regimes. No regime falls for purely
domestic reasons. Scandals, economic stress
and party strife never endanger the exist
ence Of the government. OF course the pop
ulace Is hardly ever concerned about such
questions. II Is only limited sectors of pub

After attending the annual meeting of
the Greater Little Rock Urban League, |
am convinced that Little Rock can stay
ahead in its race relations, but realizing the
opportunities which lie ahead, we should be
very careful lest we make a backward steo
in our stride for first class citizenship.
There is still a big job for each of us since
our intention is to advance economically.
With this In mind, am sure that our civic
leaders, both white and Negro, will not fail
us by displaying self-interest attitudes.
The large turn out of Negro and whites
at this meeting displayed new born in
terest in civic affairs. Among some twenty
or thirty civic leaders and dgnataries
heard Harry S. Ashmore, executive editor
of the Arkansas Gazette deliver an adj
dress entitled, American work
Works" Mr.. Ashmore told the audience
that prejudice is beyond the reach of laws
and that the hearts and minds Of people
have to be touched. He further declared
that, "Ten years from today the raising of

for war and the other peace, the one for
war invariably wins and there is nothing

During the week of February 18th,

thousands and thousands of flowery words

famous quotations, and nobody remembers
one word of these flowery words and praise

Silas Judson is not his name, but the

We met him first in Memphis Tonnes

intelligent; was an active member of our
organization; took part in civic enterprises
and boosted that he was one hundred per-
cent American - except that he had feel
ing the Negro should be kept in his place"
He could never believe they should be al
lowed to sit in the union meeting nor attend
schools with whites In fact, he openly con-
tended the Negro is an inferior type and
that God never intended him to be the
equal of the white man..
Some years later we met Silas Judson
again. He was not as active as formerly
Said he had the rheumatism which was
keeping him from getting good jobs in meat
shops. He thought it was shame that
"Niggers" were being hired in Memphis in
some shops while white members were
loafng.
We made another trip to Memphis later
and met Slas Judson again. He was in a
wheel chair. His hands looked cramped and
twisted. His face showed signs of excru-

A little more care -. little more

for others could have spared us most of
the suffering and bereavement resulting
from these disasters. All too often as mo-

we consider the thoughtlessness or boorish-

nous work are to be commended for the ana
lytical manner of their approach. There are
folk tales from many lands with its pages
and yet there is never a passage which
smacks of intolerance. Even the section on
cannibalism is treated analytically and
respectfully.
Many Negro folk-tales are included in
the two volumes, some of which | have
heard and others which are unfamiliar to
me. But il is interesting to note that Negro
culture is not topheavy with superstition
an impression which has been widely given.
To my mind this is worthwhile adj

art music, literature. II is well to be in

been extremely impressed with very schol-
arly and all-inclusive work recently pub
lished by Funk & Wagnals Company, the

work, in two volumes, is called the Folk

Included within its pages are concise

the many stories, superstitions and beliefs

folklore.
You'll find complete analyses Of such
varied subjects as nursery rhymes and

way of thinking these volumes are inval-
liable in understanding the cultures. SUI
