Filling IL Up

section
late and ye editor IL without inspiration This happens quite
oenmoe often the years by Most of the time by the
final dcAdnc render will walk in and give idea
will person the who will by their
appearance something they say provide us with some
typewriter fodder
This week started out fine On Monday when our editorials
should have been the copy box had flock Of visitors
and spent entirely too much time talking There
couple Of emergencies including failure Of the gentlemen who
mops up the front office 70 do his Job let know he had
not done II.
This small item Of swinging n mop which formerly did
work up sweat leaves putting and blowing
Now there four other gentlemen In and Of office
the payroll but OF them signed up for swinging
mop One offered to help but since he had call many
fGsdious customers Monday refused and spent As
minutes swabbing the floor.
One our most severe critics who claims do nothing
but loaf around all week making believe busy,
in 10 pay her subscription She seemed surprised
welding the mop but her look mixed with joy and
disbelief She probably thought cheap get
somebody mop the floor That another story should
say It's harder to get somebody mop floors with
good Old pensioners who used TO work such part
time jobs fear to take them for fear Of earning
limit allowed them under social security.
Anyhow, that hopping took something Of us aud we
never did get down 10 writing anything for this space
did get to work the personal column the page
column and 4,
II Ia ~ noon, now In Tuesday and Dale Sargent who by
the back shop foreman, looking direction
every time he passes by cluered office The bookkcper
social and personal editor
And here aitwhout original thought IN our head
and the empty copy IN be filled We could write about
Maenkovwe about Stain last week The daily papers
have beat both Of the Red Russians Ito death however and
probably can't think of anything original Maybe we should
say right here that don't much Mankovs trumpcng
for peace-but II is worth Investigating
We might write something about the proposed
Minnesota Employment Merit bin but the Minneapolis
TRIBUNE sdtOraiss Carroll Binder and Bradley Morrison
have covered side Of the better than we could
We are tired OF writing about prejudice anyway
have vowed 10 edition week wherein
not single mention Of racial difference conflict This
harder to do than you think because Americans Of Negro
descent still being denied basic rights every state Of the
union.
We could write about progress which around rs The
nice homes Twin City Negroes have and building The
fine interiors tAstefuy furnished and the kept lawns
Maybe should dwell the dry rot which Il striking
Twin City where the property deteorang because
OF eareenes and often absentee landlords Ncighhorhoos
which are deteorang could be rrSuscaed by ncVhborhoo
action sponsored for example by the Urban Leagues
Maybe should comment editoraly on the growth of
the Twin City churches and the fine influence most Of them
have on the community and the people they serve Worth
mention the fine fight the people Of the RondoS Anthony
district under the splendid leadership Rev Foyd Massey
and others are putting up for school in area
The Credafawn Club is probably worth an editorial As
the Sterling Club There are others hut these strike Ms
as worthy Of little editorial encouragement and exposition
every and then.
The Juvenile crime wave which was all the talk . few,
month have quoted TO such an extent that
exhoraon in this space would be out Of place However the
interest which civic leaders aud parents exhibited in
Minneapolis especially should be allowed to wanr because
crime always turks hidden around the corner waiting 60 dl
youth and their chances
Maybe We ought urge few of the youth who viii have
to serve in the armed services anyhow to Join the National
Guard units In the Twin Cities and get some Of the training
that when they drafted by Uncle Sam they win know
their way around
We wouldn't be wasting space we could convince some
Of the youngsters in school that they should he thinking
early what they desire follow as their life
occupation It's not too early start thinking about this in
junior high school
In the vein probably should trot out our old
theory that persons without education are tremendously
handicapped in the modern world no matter wha, kind 81
work In which they engage.
or course education OF the formal variety any other
kind Is not the total answer but diploma handy thing
to have around II You don't believe read Of the job
