Wait A Minute!

Sure, everyone Is wrong Why can't those in power
do the right thing? That isn't what stand for? Why
doesn't someone do something about it?
Wait minute brother Are you sure you have all
the facts? Are you that from where you sit you
all that is going on? The only exercise people
get is jumping to conclusions.
Can you watch the game from the sdeines and be
umpire well? After ALL you did the voting. You
had the freedom of choice The you elected to of
actions. Suppose you wait bit and find out what these
reasons are.
Besides you have job to do. Certainly = it is your
right and your duty to ride herd the you elected
to office but don't just complain at random For the
umpteenth time say write to those whom you elected
what you think - but write constructvey not de-
structivey. And remember hndsight always better
than foresight.
And in the meantime, have you done your job? Have
you kept the wheels turning IN your own particular
baiwick? Missed any days atey Was your easy chair
should have attended? If it don't grippe about what
was done in your absence.
Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying you should
MT raist your voice in objection, when you some
thing going wrong. You should. And I'm against the
good American custom Of Criticzing the government
1t is of safeguardswhen it is based reason
But being a citizen means lot more than lust

boss to kill traffic ticket for you 1t taking
active part IN p0tcs-and keeping watch to that

Everywhere, and rybody, including the State

President Boyd Should Resign

From out at the meeting of the State Executive
Committee of the State Negro Teachers organization
comes reports that President Boyd has refused to per-
form the duty in accordance with the mandate of the
iorty members of the organization, and of the
jorty members o. its Executive Board, of signing
check to turn the money allotted by the organiza
ton to aid in suit to establish the right of Negro
students of the state to attend the State supported
institutions of higher learning.
We hundred percent in favor of Mr.. Boyd's
right to be opposed in his capacity individual per-
son. the NAACP, the Christian Church, any other in
dividual, group organization with which he finds
satisfactory personal reason to be in opposition
However, Mr.. Boyd, president of the State
Negro Teachers organization is subject to the majority
will and vote of the organization, the rule of the
jority being in accordance with the highest American
democratic process.
If it is true, and the reports of the meeting
from the most reliable sources when Mr. Boyd found
himself unable to carry out the mandate of the majority
member of the organization and of the majority men,
bers of its Executive Committee the next step for him
that of submitting his resignation President of
the organization.

On Waiting
By RUTH TAYLOR

Does having to wait for people, for telephone
calls for things to happen, annoy you? Do you get
impatient with other peoples procrastinaon? In short,
you easily ried?
I tiny that to be late to be discourteous, |
haven't much patience = and yet - how spend
period of waiting may well change the whole of
lives.
There is story of man noted for the breadth and
depth Of his knowledge. He asked how he had
found time to acquire such education. He replied: Il
make it rule to be always little ahead of time and to
have book in my pocket He saved the pennies of his
time and turned them into dollars of wisdom.
Another person | knew always used to concentrate
thinking out some problem, using waiting time for
complete concentration, for working out detailed
not think ahead We do not have alternate plans of &C
ton - which would save time effort and energy
The difference between leader and follower is
primarily one OF thinking leader has goal has esti
mated the possible opportunities and contingencies and
h3 carted The follower acts the spur of the
nhgEnent and sees only what is Immediately ahead
Whether what we waiting for is a person a pro-
notion, governmental action legislation or world
shaking crisis upon which will hang war or peace -
waiting is opportunity.
Waiting for person gives time to think and plan
quietly Waiting for promotion gives opportunity
to prepare ourselves for better job Waiting for gov
ernmenta action gives chance to see to it that the
think and what want done. Waiting for world
shaking crisis gives invaluable time in which to
become strong alert and ready for any emergency Gf
we prepared enough, that readiness may tip the
balance toward peace.)
Wait and see" was phrase that always annoyed
me But change the wording slightly make it "Wait
to see and it is both challenge and an opporunity!

LOS ANGELES-Clothes consci-
Gus women are jamming the Tiff

Many of Los Angeles most fash

stare as we'll as to listen. AS for
the latter they were treated to the
Divine Sarah at her best in such
new tunes as Easy Come, Easy Go
Lover" her latest Mercury record
release.
Later in her dressing room, re-
laxing in black velvet Toreador
trousers and flamingo pink ruff
fled silk skirt, she told her we'll
wishers that she spent two months
assembling her specially created
Wilma wardrobe. She estimated
that she spends at least $4,000

You can find a repair shop in
