Integrotion Turmoil

lntegrotion Turmoil
In the turmoil and confusion
that surrounds us today as a
free country, it is pathetic to
see soldiers having to protect
children in our country by see
ing that they go to school
safely. 1t is pathetic that the
children are barred from first
class higher learning because
Of the color Of their skins. Let's
face facts honestly. We all
know that children know Moth
ing Of hate by color. especially
one particular group. Children
have a friendship code all of
their own, to love naturally.
But the principle Of children's
hate. deplorable as it is, re-
mains the same basically as
juvenile delinquency, THE
fault of the parents" They
teach their children the same
hatreds that they themselves
hold, some of them even bring
their children to the school
door to make sure they give
their contribution to the hate
campaign against colored
children. 1t is indeed a pity be-
cause little do they realize the
same hate they teach their
offspring will one day be used
against them. How much bet
ter of we all would be as a
Nation If we all taught our
children Love.

Russian tanks. machine guns,

force the Germans back into
the fields and factories against
