ing, and the gravy train came to stop last
January as result of mandate from an
overwhelming majority of the American peo-
pie. Now the so-called liberals have changed
again. but this time they are broken up into
divisions. There are those "libtzers" who are
looking in on the game from the outside crit
icizing every play, and predicting failure at
every turn There are those who say that SO
far there hasn't been much of a change, and
didn't they tell you so before the election.
And then, there is another group that
wasn't sincere in the first place They are
much more comfortable now because they
don't have to pretend. AS a matter of fact,
because they think that to be liberal is no
longer in fashion.

there's no profit in talk they can express

And this is fine for two reasons: First,
it clears the field of the out and out phoneys

In order to get along, colored Americans

more alert, more Industrious more militant
and more willing to sacrifice than members
of groups more fortunately situated.
Ii is the willingness to sacrifice that fore

all Americans, we seem too anxious TO BUY
gadgets and conveniences that we should do
without, All too many of the oppressed OF the
earth use such conveniences as oplateS.

first fired and are always relegated to the
least desirable Jobs, should be careful how
they spend their money when they get it.
This writer would be the last one to de

We are beset with uncertainties on every hand,
Outside pressures are harder on us than on

However, those who really want to get along
and those who want to see others like them

The Chameleon -
BY Olive A. Adams

Among Gods amazing creatures on TINS
earth, there is an intriguing little reptile call
ed the chameleon. He's a Shiny thing, AND
looks like a stunted lizard, Although he's
only a few inches long, he moves incredibly
SLOWLY except for long sticky tongue that
shoots out to a distance of eight inches and
more and snares its prey in fraction of sec
ond
But the creatures most amazing talent
is that he can change his color to suit his
surroundings Up among the branches of his
fayorite tree, he's as green as the leaves; and
when he moves down on the trunk, ne can
hardly be distinguished from the bark
OF course, all of this sounds like de-
scription of some people we know, as
a matter of fact whole segment mlshaineu
liberals" Now, these people, i'll equipped
mentally, and hungry, took on the color Oh
the ROSY and beautiful Franklin Roosevelt
Henry Wallace let's say we love every
body era and with their long sticky tongues
7ulled in their prey by the thousands. Their
reward was of course greater stature IMAM
they could have ever attained in the mghy
competitive solid business world; and 1t dldnt
matter whether they knew anything about
government or economics because they ope-
rated by directive anyhow from some alpha
betical bureau in Washington.
Politically speaking, these boys didn't
have to produce any legislation to back up
their talk because they could always blame
ole debbi coalition of southern Democrats
and reactionary Republicans" for their own
failures. 1t was nice time The Twin was
easv. talk was cheap and the gravy flowed
But all good things must have an end
