ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1956-08-29

During the past seven months ending
July 81, 1856, vigorous campaign was con-
Quoted to reach a predetermined goal OF
5000 new members into the fold of the Gro
atian Fraternal Union. While the final re-
suits show that we were short of this num-
Der by 81 members, we can without reser-
walton, say that the CAMPAIGN WAS A
GREAT SUCCESS.
Taking into consideration the steel strike
and the slow down, in some cases complete
shutdown of other related industries, and
the fact that so many of our members and
prospective recruits are employed in these
industries we are able to conclude that had
it not been for these snags in the economic
status of our people, our end results would
have been far in excess of the goal originally
set
For this success we would like to COM
mend the Campaign Committee who in ad-
dition to their regular duties in the Home

Brisk makes teeth stronger
Brisk's fiuoride has repeatedly proved
its amazing ability to strengthen tooth
enamel. Concentrates in weak or soft
spots where decay usually starts. Actu-
ally combines with and becomes part of
the tooth itself and thus defends against
cavities as no other kind of decay-fgIiter
ever could! Daily brushing with Brisk
builds stronger, Sounder, more decay
free teeth. Keeps breath fresh!

All fIuorides in toothpaste
are not alike
Of the many types of fluoride, Brisk'S
fluoride has again and again proved
itself both safe and effective against
tooth decay. 1t is the fluoride that is most
widely used and approved by medical,
dental and public health authorities.
And only Brisk has it in its most effec-
tive toothpaSte form.

for two or three years my attitude
was discrimination is wrong but
I want no part of Indignation. y
In 1948, while waiting for assign
ment at Camp Kilmer, N. j., my
room mate was Negro lieutenant
from Prairie View College in
Texas. After a couple days (dur-
ing which l was somewhat dis
pleased that a Negro had been
assigned to my ROOM we discussed
the political campaign, FEPC and
number of other subjects. l real
lied there was absolutely no diff
ference in us other than the color
of our skin and thoroughly enjoyed
his company. Since then I have
been quick to speak my mind when
racial subjects, school Indignation
ETC., are discussed. / have noted
a change in attitude of others too.
For instance, my wife's brother
in-law (from Virginia) would loud
ly complain about Negroes buying
homes near him in Baltimore few
years ago. Now, however, when
we discuss Indignation southern
bigotry, etc, he "agrees passively."
A man in my office from Cairo,
Ill.,, complains about Negroes want
ing to eat in downtown restaurants
and makes disparaging remarks
about Gigs" However, he always
says "I'm not prejudiced, integra-
ton is coming and we shouldn't
try to stop it." I'm sure that
few years ago he too said keep
them in their place."
My reason for writing is to get
your opinion on couple things.
/ get Disguised with those who say
ut takes time" 600 years looks
like plenty Of time) and at the
same time l realize hurrying and
pushing is causing trouble. First,
just what is your opinion of the
NAACP? Would you recommend
my joining the NAACP? If not,
what might l do to help the prog
ress of integration?
Sincerely,
Wilbert Quick.
