ONE WORD
Can Change Your Life
By REV. ROBT. OLEWILER
Pastor, Grace Reformed Church
Washington, d. C.
Heart

There's a legend about a prince
who had a crooked back. He said
to his sculptor friend: Il want you
to make a statue of me with a
straight back SO | can see myself
as | might have been" The sculp-
tor obliged and the prince placed
il in a secret nook in the palace
garden where he gazed lOngingly
upon it every day. Each gaze set
his blood tingling and his heart
throbbing Soon the people began
to comment: The princes back is
not as crooked as it was" Then the
day came when he realized it had
become as straight as that of the
statue. He had become the man he
longcd to be.
Just a legend but like most leg
ends there's thread of truth run
ming through it. You can be what
you know at your best you ought
to be if you keep gazing upon God
with all your heart, the word that
can change your life.

One Man Looks
At God
CBy Charles w. Carlson, Pastor,
St. Marks Evangelical Lutheran
Church, Oakland Maryland.)

1ilul Nug NJdhlcllN Nlcil y lelllNAsy
In continuing our series on the
Ten Commandments, this week we
will consider the Fourth Command
ment, recorded in the Book of Ex-
odus: 20:12, Honor your father
and your mother, that their days
may be long in the land which the
Lord your God gives you.
There has been a good bit writ
ten about the problem and impl-
cations of juvenile delinquency.
From what / have been following
over the past ten years, the pcndu-
lum of opinion seems to swing
first to one side, then to the other;
one article will blame parents for
the problem-the next article will
decry this horrible generation of
tecnagers." To my way Of think
ing, based on what God has re-
vealed to me, and to all who will
take the trouble to read His Word,
neither point of view is entirely
accurate. 1t is neither the fault of
the teenager or of the parent, but
a combination of both.
In the first place, and this is
the most obvious Interpretation of
the fourth commandment, children,
by their very nature, need the
strong guidance of parents. Al
most without exception, parents
orders are meant to be followed.
In the order of Gods creation.
this is the basic scheme of life:
Parents have children through the
gift of God, raise them, helping
them to adjust to the problems Of
this world-then they, the children
that is, in turn grow up and have
their own children and raise them.
This cycle continues throughout
history-for how many genera
tons it has been going on, we do

and so, children should follow
the advice and guidance Of their
parents, for this is the way God
intended Tor thihSS to be. Yet
there is still another side to this
problem as is so clearly Indicated
IN PauI's Letter to the EpheSians,
where he discusses the fourth com
mandment IN this way: Fathers,
do not provoke your children to
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1956-06-28

is willing to show the way. Too
many parents allow the church to
take over in the religious instruc-
ton of their children, never bother
ing to teach them by their own
Christian example. How many
homes are there here in Garrett
County where the Bible has a role
to play in the daily life Of the
home? How many homes where
family prayer is a regular part of
tho routine? How many homes
where discussions of the role of
God in family living have part?
Unless | am greatly mistaken, no
more than three to five percent.
And so we come back to the
problem Of juvenile delinquency,
and for that matter any other of
our problems of society. These
problems can only be worked out
when parents and children alike
live in accordance with the Maker
of this world seeking out His
Word, in His kingdom. If you are
not a member of church or have
become inactive in your church,
why not start back on the right
track this Sunday. There is not a
church in Garrett county where
you would not be welcomed with
open arms by people like you, peo-
pie who cannot get along without
God people who have found their
Lord, and are happy to share Him.

primaries and Negroes in the
South by the thousands have
registered as Democrats and now
vote in the Democratic prima-
ries for city, county, and state
officials.
It is quite the custom in the
South now for candidates to
advertise in the Negro news
papers appealing for the Negro
vote. It is also true that many
public officials are elected by
the Negro vote and acknow-
ledge it in their newly found
respect and consideration for
Negroes.
The number of Republican
Negroes in local southern poll
tics is small because the elec-
ton of public officials takes
place in the Democratic prima-
ries. The desire to have a part
in national G.. O. P. affairs how
ever keeps many Negroes regis
tered as Republicans.
It is natural that Negroes
should vote in terms of what
they think will most profit the
Negro cause. Here in Arizona
the political situation is differ
ent from that in the South. The
great majority of Negroes have
cast their lot with the Demo-
cratic Party because that party

There are a good many Me-

compared to the total Negro
voting population, there are re-
latively few and the number
will grow smaller as time passes.
Most of these are people who
left Texas and Oklahoma and
other southern states more than
ten years ago when Negroes
could not vote in the white"
Democratic primaries in the
South and in the "Solid" South
there was practically no Repub-
lcan Party. All the efforts OF
the national Republican Party
to build up a white Republican
Party in the South at the ex-
pense, of the Negro Republicans
have failed, so the Southern
Republicans came into view on

Meany Endangers Unions by Appeasing Racists

back the following disgraceful
lines: "It is most disturbing to
learn that so much miSinforma-

with obvious intent to weaken
and disrupt our trade unions in
the South. have in mind par
ticularly the information which
seems to be the basis of this
letter to the effect that our or
ganization has given financial
support to the NAACP. Let me
state that the AFL-CIO has
given no financial support to
the NAACP in the past and no
proposals have been advanced to
have done that in the future"
Meany then repeated the for
mula of all capitulartoS to Jim
Crow to the effect that the Su-
preme Court school integration
decision needed ''long time to
work out" He also mumbled a
few words about law and order,
but according to Kempton, his
letter catered sufficiently to
prejudice in the Tillam local
that it has been reproduced for
circulation throughout the state.
Meany is trying to ride two
horses travelling swiftly in op-
posite directions. In response to
the pressure of Negro and SOL
idarity-consciouS white union
lists in the North, the AFL-CIO
has given limited support to the
NAACP. Now in response to the
pressure of Southern reaction,
Meany is trying to hide this
support.
His letter is a treacherouS
blow to both the embattled Ne
gro people and to the unions
he is supposed to be leading. It
should be the subject of vigor-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To The Editor Of
The Arizona Sun:
| VOTED FOR The MAN IN 1852

Back in 1852 I voted the Re-
publican ticket although I have
been a Democrat for long num-
ber of years and I know what
good things the Democratic Par
ty has done for this country.
But I heard so much talk about
what Mr.. Eisenhower was 60
ing to do in his great crusade,
and how he was going to get
rid of communism in the govern
ment and a lot of other things
and how you should vote for
the man instead of the party,
so T decided I would vote for
the MAN instead of the PARTY.
Well, it just didn't work out.
I found that after all was vot-
ing for the Republican Party
when I thought I was voting for
Mr.. Eisenhower. I didn't know
that the big INTERESTS in the
Republican Party would boss
Mr.. Eisenhower and cause him
to permit the "give away" of
the Tidelands oil interests which
I thought belonged partly to me
as a U. S. citizen.
Also my interests in the Ma
tional Wildlife Refugees have
been lost by the Republicans
granting 274 leases to big oil
companies for as little as SO
cents an acre. I don't know
whether the government people
in charge of my interests in the
National Forest land were out
smarted by the big Alabama
mining company from Mobile,
Ala. when they let the company
take IL million board feet of
timber off ORGANS Rogue Riv-
er National Forest when they
leased it for mining, or if the
government people just out
smarted me, when they let that
mining company have $250,O0O
worth of timber for $2207.
never would have thought
that the Republican Party could
have got my favorite general
that I voted for to let my in
terests in a $35 million govern
ment built plant in Missouri for
making oil from coal, go to the

Arizona sun., 1956-10-18

It is the duty of the AFL-CIO
to lend full support to the Strug-
gle of the Negro people for
equality. The need to do so is
dictated by basic principles of
justice and brotherhood. It is
an indispensable condition for
the preservation of the unions
themselves. We have stated this
fact many times. Regrettably, a
thick-skulled, cowardly and op-
portunist top-union officialdom
makes it necessary for us to
continue repeating it.
It is no longer any secret that
the leaders of the white suprem-
aciSt movement are as much the
enemy of organized labor as
they are of the Negro people.
For example, the authors of the
legal measures to cheat the Ne
gro people of their rights are
also the authors of the numer-
Gus fright to scab" laws and
other anti-union statutes.
It is also well known that the
White Citizens Council gangs
are now trying to split South
ern local unions away from
their international organiza-
tions. These moves constitute a
on-busting threat that must
be met head-on. The AFL-CIO
must declare war on the anti
labor racists. It must educate
and rally it's Southern white
members to a program of labor
Negro unity and convince them
that this is the only way they
can better their own lives.
Instead, the top union brass
is trying to hold off the racistS
by appeasing them. An example
of kowtowing to white Suprem-
acists is found in a letter to the
Tillman local of the IntI As
Sociation of MachiniStS in Char
lesion, Sc, from AFL-CIO Pres
ident Meany.

local wrote to Meany that the

To The Editor of
The Arizona Sun:
| AM CONFUSED

I know that the Republicans
said in their platform that they
were not going to confuse Ne
groes or exploit them for poll
tical purposes. I have tried to
understand that statement ever
since I read it, but I am still
confused and am getting more
and more so by the Republicans
political behavior. For instance,
they brought Atty. Pierce here
to talk to Negro voters. A lot
of important Negro citizens,
mostly Democrats, received in
vitationS to an expensive free
lunch at the Desert Hills Motel
as the guests of the Republican
Party. I know that only Repub-
lican money could finance this
kind of campaign. Then they
invited "every body" to big
barbecue to hear Mr.. Pierce.
There are two things that con-
fuse me. 1. Do the Republicans
think Negro voters are all so
hungry that the promise of a
barbecue sandwich will bring
them out to a Republican meet
ing? Of course, the barbecue
sandwich customers were not
invited to the luncheon. Only
the big folks got that invitation
and many of them did not go.
(Some other time, Mr.. Pierce,
we will be glad to pay our own
way to a luncheon to met you)
What is confusing is-waS this
Republican largesse intended to
confuse or to exploit?
2. Last Sundays Republic
carried a plea from the Repub-
lican State Committee for small
contributions of the kind the
Democrats must ask from their
supporters. The thing that con-
fuses me is-why do the Repub-
licans spend BIG money feed
ing Negro Democrats and beg
for little money as if they need
little money? Could it be that
they are trying to confuse
minority group = the Arizona
Republicans-who will vote for
Griffin, Jones, Rhodes, and Eli
Senhower?
CONFUSED.
