What OF Tomorrow?
By RUTH TAYLOR

What of tomorrow? The Ienten season is not one
of deprivation sacrifice and repentance only They are
but the to the end They but the preparation
for the tomorrow of Easter.
What of tomorrow? There is sentence of ST. Au-
gustlnes that think should be watchword for Lent
God has promised forgiveness to your repenence but
he mas not promised tomorrow to procrastnation
What of tomorrow? You have given up some ma
ter1a things for Lentbut have you given up your pre-
JUDGES, your resentments, your dslikes? Have you
taken the time to consider their causes and discard
those that not based principle and principle
alone? By all means, shun those things that are evil
but do not confuse the issue and condemn without know
edge
What of tomorrow? The sacrifice of little luxuries
is not enough Giving up is good in it's way-but giving
of self is important Let your Lenten keeping be
time to do those things you have left undone-the little
acts of kindness and thoughtuness that you have put
off, Let Lenen keeping be translated into action
for others
What of tomorrow? Lent is a time for re-evauation
both OF yourself and OF program for life Are you
using talents to the utmost of your capabilities?
And if not why not? Do you know where you are go
ing? What are your plans for the future? And how
sincere is your desire to attain those ends? Andare
those ends worthwhile?
What of tomorrow? No man knows what the future
will bring We are living in a world where the forces
OF tyranny united and the forces of freedom cracked
by dissensions The outcome depends on our fnnness
and our faith Fmness in the right and faith in the God
OF our fathers and that His right will prevail.
What of tomorrow? Now is the time to think that
we may be ready when the time comes to act.

Visit OF Bishop
To Malaga Still
Being Hailed

BALTIMORE, Md, March IA
The recent visit of Bishop and
Mrs. Edgar A. Love, Baltimore
Area of The Methodist Church, in
Malaga is still being hailed by ma
tives as significant event in
their religious experience.
Principal Yong Kew Kim of the
Anglo-Chines School in Seremban,
where Bishop and Mrs. Love deliv-
cred several addresses, writes the
following appraisal of the Loves
visit in the current issue of 1.-The
Silent Signpost," the schools Of

"The visit to this country of the
American Negro Bishop Edgar A.
Love and his wife is an event
significant to Malaga for two rea-
sons:
(D The fact that our disting-

is proof that in the Christian

no East or Vest

that given equal opportunity, a

Catching A Ride
70 From: The Christian Science Monitor

The immediate controversy which swirs around
the administrations bill for federal aid to public schools
has to do with the method of putting federal help behind
construction financing But obstacles thrust in from
other directions threaten to delay acceptance of work
able plan.
The Deep South is displaying fear lest federal funds
be used lever to force desegregation independent
of time and directonal charts the Supreme Court
pected to draw it again tackle the problem with
full bench And from rural warning that
endeavOrs to hold construction everywhere to minimum
wage requirements based upon metropolitan conditions
could block school aid for a long time to come
Now it is understandable that Negroes in particu-
lar should seek to for augmentation of the SUI
preme Court decision to counter equally understandable
efforts to win time for great adjustment And
the desire of labor is understandable Also maintain
floors though which wages cannot be dragged down by
competition from low living standards and labor sur
pluses But the familiar tactic of riding one cause
through opposition the coattas of another cause does
have to be resisted.
Congress may have to decide, if it wishes to direct
federal aid through local channels and to maintain local
control that it must treat schools Schools wages as
wages and race relations problem big enough all
by itself.

NEW YORK (GLOBAL)
BY RUBY TENNYSON

NEW YORK (GLOBAL) -
Things are buzzing among the stu
dent nurses at Harlem Hospital
School of Nursing these days.
They have two big events coming
up during the month of March,
and they are determined to make
both successful, memorable affairs.
The Students Association will hold
its annual Spring dance on March
18, at the Renaissance Ballroom.
This is always very pretty af-
fair, and this year, they say it
will be better than ever. Is that
possible? Then, on March %, the
Hospital will hold Open House, and
it is expected that the staff will
play host to large number of
visitors.
Independent Builders, Inc, an or
ganization Of builders and con-
tractors, held a get-together with
members of Citizens Committee
March IL at the Theresa Hotel, to
outline plans for the Pageant of
Progress" Exposition which is
scheduled for the 369th Regiment
Armory in June. This promises to
be quite an educational event, and
the Builders are turning over
whole section of the Armory 20 the
Citizens Committee for the pur-
pose of setting up exhibits to show
the Negroes contributions to educa-
ton, literature, the arts, science,
medicine, religion, politics, and so
on Modern Trend Club, a
discussion group made up of young
people in the community, busy
making a study of Negro news
papers. The results of their find
ings will be discussed soon at a
public meeting. The group has
long been interested in the Negro
Press and makes periodic studies
of the work the various newspapers
are doing in community work, in
the various crusades of civil rights,
and so on Beulah Bullock will
display some of her fine fashions
at show at the Hotel Diplomat
here in New York March q. You
haven't seen anything until you've
seen Mrs. Bullock take a piece of
material and in one minute by the
clock, drape a model and turn her
out in a glamorous evening gown.
Sounds incredible, but it's true.

o Lord, please let shame come back
To Americas great land today
Jesus will return sooner or later
But we won't know the hour or the
way.
Be We also ready, he said
He is coming to receive His own
The He'll hounds are on the Chris
tian's track
But Jesus knows where they be-
long.
There is but one way to be ready
when he comes
And that way is to abide in His
Fathers love
Then He will give you an eternal
home
In His Fathers kingdom above.
We will not know the day or the
hour
When Jesus Christ shall come
again
He is coming to receive his broth
ers and sisters
For his Fathers children where
there is no sin.
Every living soul that believes in
Christ
From his heart and not in vain
Shall have a home in His Fathers
kingdom
And the angels will sing his name.
We want you to feel the spirit of
God
His love is the salvation of man
Unless we abide in Gods love
! There is no way for this people to
stand.
The love of God has no cross road
1t is direct all the way to the end
And at the end is eternal glory
Where there is not a speck of sin.
We want you to see the right side
of life
Not the rich side nor the poor
We have got to love We one another
Because Jesus stands at Heavens
door.
There is only one family in Heaven
today
That's a family of love we are
taught
We have got to love We one an
other
Or else we have lost our soul.
Every church is set up in the
hearts of women and men
Is the Church of His Father we
are told
The House of Worship is to wor-
ship God in
And to strengthen the weak ones
soul.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo, premier
of the Western region, addressing
his people on the historic scheme,
said that better than $40 million
would be spent on the education
plan.
"The educational policy of this
government" said Chief Awolowo,
lis such that if your child is very
clever, it is possible for him or her
to be educated free at the expense
of the state from primary up to
the attainment of a university de-

The premier said that as soon
as the primary education plan is
under way, the government will

million and yearly expenses are ex-
pected to run around $18 million.

Emergency Landings In Anchorage Area Put
 Crash Crews On The Spot

ANCHORAGE, LR - Three An chorage policemen had a narrow brush with death Friday night in two forced airplane landings at separate fields here. The action caught embarrassed fire crash crews right in the middle.
 Patrolman Aubrey Mayo es- caped injury when his small plane pancaked on the ice at Lake Hood while attempting to land with a broken ski.
 Lillian Cunningham and Rob ert Riedel, two colleagues, walk ed away from their private plane at the city-owned Merrill Field 10 minutes later despite a land ing on the ice covered runway with a broken axle.
 Through a mixup, city fire res cue crews were halfway between both airports. Bremen were standing by at Merrill Field after having been told of an emergency landing when the tower notified them the plane had crashed at Lake Hood instead
 No sooner had firemen left Merrill Field for Lake Hood when Cunningham guided his crippled ship in without incident. Mayo's plane was extensively damaged, however.
 Cunningham had taken Mayo to Big Lake, 25 miles northeast of here, earlier in the day so that Mayo could retrieve his plane. The officer had left the plane there several days ago when the ski was damaged on landing.

 Only $50 miles away-a half hour by jet fighter, only two hours by troop carrier-lies the tip of Soviet Siberia.
 The Soviets know the precise position of the Galena airfield. They should. Russian pilots flew in and out of here throughout much of World War II, ferrying American-made aircraft to Russia in the days when the two nations were allies.
