Mr.. p d. East
Petal, Miss.
Dear Mr.. East:
The first reference l saw of
you and your paper was in a
complimentary subscription of
the Caroline Isarelite and it was
sufficient to whet desire to know
more of you.
A mutual acquaintance of ours
saw letter from me in the Com
mercial Appeal, Memphis, re-
Gently and said he was sending
it on to you, and true to his word
in his appreciative letter he has
sent me also the booklet of re-
prints of your editorials in the
Petal Paper. This | have read
avidly from cover to cover. My
first comment is thank God for
a man of true courage
When the Gray Amendment
was proposed and the campaign
for and against its adoption in
Virginia was in progress, pitch
ed in and wrote letters against
to the Richmond Times-Dis-
patch, engaged in radio forum
in Danville, and preached in my
pulpit there at the First. Christian
church, trying to give an interp-
rotation of the spiritual signifi-
canoe and values of the issue in
volved. | weathered the storm
for awhile, even receiving vote
(unanimous) confidence from the
official board.
A second campaign of Icing and
ssillification against me in whihc
| was called Communist and a
SOB. so undermined my wife's
nerves that ! felt it necessary to
resign. Anonymous phone calls
did the trick.
/ came here last May first and
soon was in the fight again when
hoodlums rioted in Sturgis and
Clay, nearby towns, I thunder
ed against the mobs from my
pulpit on two successive Sun
days. My felow-pastors delived
their souls. The community IS
pretty we'll informed as to where
we stand. Thus far there have
been no untoward repercussions
against US. We anticipate dis
turbances next fall when inte-
grafton is legally scheduled to
go into operation. We are pre-
pairing for that
/ hardy know what to think
about preachers generally in the
South. It will be recalled that a
generation ago the pulpit was
called the towards box. pri-
marilly because evangelists at
tackled personal sins and sinners
with savage glee. Now l fear that
the pulpit is the towards box"
for another reason: it is saying
nothing about the greater sin of
Segregation in the light of the
essential Christian gospel. TAX
ing refuge in silence is bad e.
nough. but I observe that some
preachers are conforming o u t
of fear OF their positions as min
listers. This is even worse OF
course in my book.
AS a Southerner, born and
reared, | agree with all you say
about the wickedness of Segre-
cation and. l may say, that /
have never accepted in silence
the claim of the White Supre-
macy fanatics. 1t has always been
abhorrent and repugnant to me.
Most cordially yours,
Harry M. Wilson

One day last week | reminded Of something
which knew but had forgotten And that was the fact
that during the latter days of the thou
sands of German POW's in this Well let me quote
from the note received Before World War II
some German soldiers were sent South to work
prisoners The German soldiers guarded by Negro
soldiers OF the us. Army The German prisoners
allowed to eat at will in Southern hotels the Germans
enemies, and the Negro soldiers the uniform
of the United States Army Yet they denied the
privilege of eating in the hotels with the POWs.
Therefore, hungry American soldiers forced to
guard enemy soldiers who had full stomaches."
l mention this only because I've been trying to de-
eide which costing all Americans the most the
tary psychological loss result of discrimination
But then how anyone measure what happens to
person when treated? But believe is suffer
ing an untold loss and think it's every last one of
us who call ourselves Americans!

1t is certainly hoped the following revelation will
offend my good friends Rabbi Charles Mantinband
and Rev. Aubrey Smith.
Aubrey Smith, who lives just two doors down the
street from me- pastor of the Parkway Heights Meth
odist Church in Hattiesburg When teevsion doesn't
interfere with Sunday evenings, my four year old
daughter Karen attends Aubreys Church Recently she
cornered Aubrey follows
"Awbur," she wanted to know, chow you don't
go with and Mornmie and Daddy down to the Syna-
god to church,
Aubrey didn't reply immediately SO Karen contn-
ued "Now Awbur the Radio don't keep half as long
as you do And Awbur, he don't make the noise
you dol"
Frankly, I'm not real sure what Aubrey told Karen,
but think he agreed with her,

full than by having them meet with such out
standingly successful personalities as Rock
Hudson, star Of one Of the greatest Holly
wood success stories Of them all?
Meetings such as this are wonderful source
of inspiration for our teen-age students, give
them insight into the kind of personality
that Clicks. 1t also gives them understand
ing Of the many ingredients that go into
making person poised, self-confident, and
attractive to others.
Epitomizing everything that today's teen
ayers seek eventually to be, Rock Hudson is
an example of someone who is assuming the
full responsibility of leadership. We are
proud that we can make it possible for our
teen-age students Of ballroom dancing to
meet and discuss problems with young lead
ers such as Rock Hudson.
We are proud too, that our Arthur Murray
ballroom dancing classes give more than just
dance instruction to the many teen-agerS en-
rolled in our five studios in the Greater
Washington Area.

1t isn't easy to grow up to be successful,
popular, sure of oneself socially. There are
so many pitfalls, so many situations that are
awkward to handle, SO many times when we
just don't quite know what to do.
Frankly, everyone finds himself in a dilemma
when it comes to social etiquette, without
proper instruction and knowledge. No one
can be poised, popular, and leader in the
crowd-by accident No, indeed, success in
life, whether it be in business, in school, or
in social life, comes from effort and knowl-
edge combined
That's why we of the Arthur Murray Studios
feel it so important to help our teen-age
students become-not only polished smooth,
poised dancers-but polished, poised, self
confident personalities, as well.
What better way can we accomplish this than
by teaching our teen-age students how to
mix socially how to meet those of the OPP
posite sex graciously, how to handle them
selves in various social situations? What
better way can we teach our teen-age
students how to become popular and success

difficult transition from childhood into adult

Many devices for inducing sleep have been recommended
= from counting sheep to wearing blndfods and ear
plugs. "a word Of warning: One of my patients once
pushed an earpug far into the canal that had to be
recovered with forceps)
The most important aid to Sleep however, to cultivate
the art of relaxing With little practice you can discipline
yourself to lie still with muscles loose and to turn your
thoughts pleasant things, rather than review the days
problems Try follow the advice given by great
doctor Sir william Osler undress your soul at night
by shedding you do garments the daily sins
whether of omission of commission"
You find by trial and your best time for Sleep
ing 1t is usually best to keep reasonably regular hours,
though you should avoid becoming slave to habit One
Widespread faacy about sleep that hour before mid
night is worth two hours after that deadline.
DR.. Osler - one of the keenest observers Of human
nature that lived divided students according to their
sleeping habits into the owls and the arks, and said
that the trait was n neither virtue in neither fault
He postuated that the individuals temperature curve
might be responsible for the difference between those stu
dents who like work late and then sleep late, and those
who are "eary to bed and early to rise His guess
that the lark" had higher morning and lower evening
temperature the "owl'' the reverse.
Strangely Osler did not try to establish his theory by
clinical research Long aferward however, Dr. ketmans
experiments proved that Oser right and that are
most wide awake when the daily temperature curve is
highest.

You Can Make lt Up

If YOU are forced to lose sleep for more nights,
possible for you make it up" later on? Although
auhorties have long maintained that this cannot be DONE
my own experience and extensive research by Dr. Nathaniel
Keiman professor Of physiology at the University OF
Chicago afford good evidence you make up lost Sleep
Personally after weeks of sleeping less than six hours
night during epdemics of Influenza. have been able to
sleep or II consecutive hours for number Of successive
nights until had paid off my sleep debt Other doctors
have told me Of similar experiences.

Mankind has always been interested in the mysterious
phenomenon of Sleep and in these and anxious times
not getting good nights Sleep is source OF major con-
many of US. Such concern produces tension and
tension is well known to be the enemy of sleep.
The self-proclaimed insomnia can start relaxing BY
recognizing that there is no standard number of hours we
should spend sleeping While eight hours has long been
considered the proper amount of tme is being more and
more recognized that individuals vary in their requirements
Nearly two centuries ago the celebrated British surgeon
John Hunter gave the proper allowance Of sleep SIX
hours for man, seven for woman and eight for fool
The fact is many get by with less than six hours
while many men require more than eight Not even his
bitterest enemies would have called Woodrow Wilson
fool yet he said have needed nine or ten hours sleep
