HAITIAN BOY AMONG RECENT
HOLY GHOST GRADUATES HERE

Situated on the Western third of
Hispaniola, is the Mountainous SUM-
drenched Republic of Haiti, the
only black Republic in the Western
hemisphere. In a jasmine scented
garden, in Port au Prince, the capt.
tol of Haiti, sits a fond mother
waiting to hear the glad news that
her young son has completed the
first hurdle in preparation for his
career. Among the graduates of
Holy Ghost high school last Sun
day nigh twas Berth Edmund, af-
fectionately known as "the Hal
tian" by his friends. Berth travel
ed all the way from Haiti to con-
tinue his education here in the
states.
This "black republic" from which
Berth came, is by no means a
classics nation. The creme is a
hereditary, mostly mulatto elite
consisting of well-to-do lawyers,
doctors, poets and government Of
ficials, who consider themselves
"colored Frenchmen," and quote
Racine and appreciate fine wines.
The graduate is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Alcide Edmund, who has
one other son Ossin and one dau-
ghter, Lima; both plan to visit the
United States one day.
Berth has always planned ia
come to the United States, in fact
as long as he can remember the
midget French cars, the bullying
orange buses, and the sad-eyed
donkeys, wing through he
streets of Port au Prince. His
native tongue is French, but speaks
English fluently. He is we'll liked
by both his teachers and his school
mates. Now that his studies are
over until the fall, he says that he
plans to listen more to his mambc
collection and teach a few teen.

GOD is THE FATHER OF
ETERNAL HAPPY LIFE. OBEY
HIS WILL.
The death of wrong is right
Yet wrong stands around your door
Trying to make believe he is John
When you know that it is old
Uncle Joe.
With all of our polished brains
today
Your heart is the timkeeper of life
Jesus created a new heart in his
people
Will give US that Eternal Life.
Your heart is the moving power
of life
Brains without a moving heart are
dead
Long as the heart of a man is alive
For life you are not in a dread.
Come all We that are heavy laden
With a sinners heart to get rest
Brains are good to polish up
But new heart will give you rest.
The most of the world is excited in
in life
Prosperity is pressing their brains
Ninety per cent of the people today
Are just about car insane.
The love of God makes you wise
No other way for Jesus Christ
We have got to love one another
If we expect eternal life.
The Holy Bible tells US how to live
To enjoy that eternal happy life
We must love we one another
And that's all it's not any price.
It's nice to have a good time
Let the love of God be your guide
Honor your father and mother
And you have nothing in life to
hide.
Good time in the right way
Protect the wealth of our race
It's the virtue of our young girls
And stop bringing about disgrace.
Brains are too weak to save our
wealth
1t takes the love Of God nothing
less
Save the virtue of our young girls
And our homes will all be blessed.

Dear Otis:
Have you explored all possibili-
ties to help the boy at home? Send
ing a child away is such a final
step, and it frequently does not
solve the problem. Are you sure
you understand the boy and that
he understands you? Possibly the
advice of a professional counselor
will help you all.
1t could be that you cause re-
sentiment in Tee when you compare
him with his brother. If he doesn't
have the ability to reach his broth
er's standards, you cause him much
anxiety and loss of status in the
home. For this reason, he picks
on other children or causes dis
turbances in his class. These things
gain attention for him.
Ted is an individual. Let him
know you approve of him as
person, and praise him when he
performs task at the peak of his
ability. You, as parents, must be
patient with him and you must
determine what it is you expect Of
him.
Sending Ted away would be con-
firming Ted's belief that you do not
love or want him. If you can
prove to him that you truly love
him for himself, you'll have
changed boy. You certainly should
be proud of your other son be-
cause of his high scholastic stand
ing, but do not measure Ted by
the same yardstick, or show favor
ties. Perhaps you would find that
Ted has some very important tai
ents if only you would look for
them.
Let Ted be himself and love him
for himself. You'll be surprised
what it will do.

New York, (GlobaD - Security
is never found in fearsomeness
or worry. Such activities waste
your most precious asset, time. and
delay your entrance upward into
the consciousness Of security. Time
is life's gift to you. Cosmic wis
dom should be your gift to your
self. Wisdom-spent hours, day in
and day out, are certain to react
in the glory Of q protected, secure
life. The most intelligence you
introduce into your operation Of
daily living, the most inspiring
and rewarding your life becomes.

My Dear Mr.. Greene as one of
your ardent admirers and follow
ers | am writing you in regards to
recent conversation concerning
the telegram sent b. you to The
Hon. Mr.. Diggs.
There are those whom it seems
would question the wisdom of such
an appeal. The question being asked
is, is Mr.. Greene going soft? But
as for me and hundreds who think
as | do, we are not likely to for
get that it was you who paved the
way and opened the door for the
Negro in Mississippi, to participate
not belligerently, but intelligently
in the government of their COM
munities and state.
There may be some who may not
care to admit the fact, but we all
know that you are the Negroes
Moses and we are proud of you, and
are willing to continue to follow
such wonderful leadership.
We pray God speed to you and
long may you live to lead your
people on in peace and harmony.
Mr.. Greene you are at liberty to
print all or any part of this letter
| also wish to say that | am very
sorry that circumstances beyond
my control prevented my being

you will receive a letter following
this with remittance for plates.

Dear Miss Ball:
. Ted is Il, in the proper grade,
but rather dull. He is just the op-
posite of his brother. He admires
him, who we try to use Mat as an
incentive for Ted. Instead, he
seems to do worse in school and
every where. Often he trips or
hits other children, or pulls the
girls hair. He doesn't have any
friends, but will help his mother
at home frequently. This isn't nor
NAL for boy. He can really be ex-
asperating at times. We're consid-
ering sending him away, but don't
know of just the proper place.
Could you help US?

decided to do something about
the weather.
No one has tried to outlaw tor

After cutting the Weather Bu-

raised the appropriation to $29.9
million, earmarking $2.25 million
for an emergency storm warning
system. The Senate increased
the total to $32 million, $4.25

In a separate fund. the ad-
