Sour Note

There was just one man, SO far
as we know, who did not see eye
TO eye with the optimists in Israel.
His name was Amos and he lived
in the back districts as hired
man. perhaps as migrant work
er. He had had a good look at
Israel from the seamy side, for
his layer in the social cake was
somewhere below the bottom.
He is known to history as a pro-
phet, but he did not claim that
title for himself The Lord spoke
to me. he said, and that was
enough. Perhaps the reason he
did not care for the label Of
prophet is that he did not want
to be mixed in peoples minds
with such Yes-men as King Ahab
had gathered around him. But
he believed and we believe that
he had the mind of God, and
that is what prophet has. He
went up to Bethel, one Of the main
cities of Israel, and there made
some speeches that nobody liked.
He even got himself attacked as
subversive. At all events, he
brought what the leaders Of Israel
thought was very sour note into
the sweet chorus of prosperity.

What Is Happening to People?

Amos looked at prosperity in
another light, or we may say he
measured prosperity with diff
ferent yardstick Whether a coun-
try is on the up-and-up or on the
doWn-and down is not to be dis
covered by looking at dollar signs
or counting freight cars The real
question is: What is happening to
people? The first Of all questions
is: Which seems to you more i'm
portant. people or property? If
they both seem equally important,
or if property seems even more
important, then Amos would say
you are certainly using the wrong
yardstick, He looked over the ma
ton of Israel and he saw two
classes of people, the poor and
the rich. The poor went to jail
for robbing the rich. but no one
ever jailed the rich for robbing
the poor The rich were growing
richer and the poor were growing
poorer This was not the worst
of it, for in the process Of be-
coming wealthy, the luxury
classes of Israel were growing
both softer and harder than they
should be softer by indulging in
ltxuries harder by Indifference
to the troubles Of the people at
the bottom of the pile.

Election Date
federation

The District Federation Of
Women's Clubs voted yesterday
to change the date Of its annual
meeting so that Mrs. Erich w.
Schwartze could attend the con-
vention Of the General Fedora
ton Of Women'S Clubs in her
present capacity as president Of
the local organization.
The action was taken over
the protest of three past presi-
dents and the parliamentarian.
who opposed it on the grounds
that it did not conform to pro-
visions of the bylaws.
Mrs. Schwartze is completing
her two-year term as president,
and her successor will be named
at the annual meeting, which
originally was scheduled May "a.
With the convention to be
held May 31-June 4 in Denver,
the District Federation report
would have been made by It's
newly elected president. had the
annual meeting taken place be-
fore that time.
The election was postponed,
however. when the delegates
voted 43 to II to adopt a mo-
ton by Mrs. Stella Kopulos
changing the annual meeting
date to June ID.
The next president of the Dis
trict organization is expected to
be Mrs. Arthur G. Davis of the
Woodbridge Book Club, whose
name headed the slate presented
yesterday by the Nominating
Committee.
Mrs. Davis did not partici-
pate in the debate over Mrs.
Kopulos' motion.
The past presidents speaking
against the proposal were Mrs.
Gertrude Parks, Mrs. Edward c.
Magdeburger and Mrs. Stuart E.
Womeldorph.
Mrs. Parks said she had been
federation president for three
years but had attended only one
convention as District federation
president because two CIVIC
meetings had been held on dates
following the Districts annual
meeting.
Mrs. Magdeburger conceded
there are discrepancies" in the
bylaws which should be cor
rected at another time, but that
for the present, 'if we have a
constitution and bylaws, we've
got to stand by them"
Mrs. Womeldorph agreed that
revision of the bylaws should
wait until we can see what
we're doing"
Mrs. Charles H. Pierce. par
Humanitarian, maintained that
the proposed action was breach
of bylaws procedure. IF we
show so little appreciation of
our rules, wouldn't we Just as
likely break the laws of o'lr con-
Stitution?" she asked.
Speaking in defense Of Mrs.
Kopulos' motion. Mrs. Ernest w.
Howard said it was not a matter
of revising the bylaws but
question Of principle" She
said she thought it only fair
that Mrs. Schwartze should re-
port on her own administration
at the CIVIC convention.
Mrs. Constante v. Batoon, the
federation's corresponding Sec
retary, read the report Of the
Nominating Committee.
In addition to Mrs. Davis, the
candidates are Mrs. T. David

Talk About Peace Brinqs Dems Jeer

When Michigan Democrats gathered at Jackson to
smpoon President Eisenhower they had fact thrown
in their faces:
State Chairman John Fekens-invited by the Demo-
Gratis to their show-ponted out that President Eisenhower
ended the Korean War.
He quoted Democrat, Gov Byrnes of South Carolina,
who said that: "The American people should be evera.t
ingly grateful to President Eisenhower for ending the
shooting in Korea
And what the Democrats reaction?
They booed-booed the fact that the shooting in Korea
and that American blood longer was being
shed on the battlefield!
