The New South

Hail to the students of Georgia Tech,
These young Americans true;
Who bravely showed they wish to check
The evils their elders do.
With the bigot governor of their state
They openly disagree;
They want no football bowl of hate"
But bowl for democracy.
Hail to the southern columnists,
Wise leaders and coaches too;
Who have the courage to berate
The backward, narrow view,
Done with the ante bellum night
They welcome the modern day;
Heralding true freedoms light
And a new south on the way.

ST PAIL LUTHERAN

Sunday, December 9. the Chill
dren's Division Of the Missionary
Society Of St. Paul Lutheran
church observed White Gift Sun
day. The regular monthly meeting
Of the society was held IN the sun
day school rooms during which
several Christmas carols were
sung, and Pastor Carl G. Sunwall
showed colored slides picturing
the birth of Christ.
Following the showing OF the
pictures, another carol was sung,
after which the children went in
procession upstairs for the morn
ing worship service. Before taxing
their seats, they placed gifts
wrapped in white tissue paper un-
der the beautifully decorated and
lighted tree. These gifts Will -
sent to the Children's Home IN
Red Wing, MINI, where about 80
mentally retarded children are
cared for.
These children range in ages
from three to 13 years. Some OF
the children, even as old as eight
wears. are not able to be up and
play, but must lay in CRIB all OF
Inc time. The resident children Of
this home are all wards of the
state.
The Vasa Children's Home is
church sponsored home and the
children are cared for by Christian
nurses and workers. May those
children who are able to play get
some pleasure from the gifts
which they receive. May we who
are older and even the children
whom God has blessed with good
health and so many other good
things, experience that it Is more
blessed to give than to receive.
The church choir rendered two
beautiful anthems at the service.
THE Kingdom Of God" was the
theme for Pastor SunwalPs ser
mon. In his closing thoughts he
said that we who are Christians
are united in Christ, our citizen
ship is in heaven and that caring
for the children is the work of the
Kingdom of God. Anna Wendell,
reporter.

The League said that the
Negroes psychological attitude
about himself and his future is
much TO blame for his poor pre-
parations.
The group further stipulated
that the Negro has assumed a neg
alive attitude OF resignation TO a
lower status job. This Is caused in
many cases by the passing on OF
such an attitude from parent 10
