Well, folks,
:. What did you think about the
Public Forum held i'm the East
Lake Park auditorium OH last
Wednesday night? To those OF
YOU who did not attend:
There were nearly 500 of us
who attended. You missed some
thing! Speaking on "What Better
Race Relations Mean to Me"
were our two gubernatiOrial can
didates and our two cOngressiOn-
al candidates. True, they all did
some hedging, but if the Forum
accomplished nothing else, it has
indeed mace the candidates rea-
lize that there is strength and
solidadity behind those of us who
are definitely interested in "Bet-
ter Race Relations" regardless
as TO which of the candidates
wins in the coming election.
Those candidates will give much
more thought to the promoting
of "Isetter Race Relations.
We shouldn't be given that
sold Brush Off" that has so often
been the case i'm years past. We
have made a good start. Now to
consolidate our gains. Nothing
has been accomplished if we do
not get out and vote.

Corner are still in the whiSkey
