How not tol eat

How not to- eat
This is the real problem,
rather than how to eat. on
which subject the American
people are receiving a lot Of
free advice.
How not to eat is more i'm
portant. because most people
eat wrong, if one may believe
his own eyes.
Here a girl rushes into q
restaurant and orders a cup
Of black coffee.
Just that. and nothing more.
Not much of a breakfast.

protein. no carbohydrates, no

Here is a young man who
comes into the Office with a
bag Of things he has purchased
on his way.
With a paper container Of
coffee, he sits down to break
fast, which he had better
eaten at home in a leisurely
manner.
Out of the bag he takes a
doughnut. the sort that used
to be called a cruller.
We have always liked that
word. cruller.
1t comes from the Danish
krullen, to curl; loosely, says
the dictionary, a friedcake,
all one word. just so.
The man takes his cruller
out Of the clean paper bag
and dips it into the coffee.

He may not know it, but
this is the favorite food in
institutions for the mentally
deficient.
They love to dip bread, any
kind of bread, into their coffee.
Attendants say they would
ask for nothing more in the
food line, If they had their
way.
Any inmate could consume
a loaf Of bread and several
cups of coffee. maybe sew
eral pints. at a meal.
Those in charge Of these
sad persons say such a meal
is the high spot Of their day,
and they would not willingly
exchange for steak, vege-
tables, fruits. cake. pie and
ice cream.
So the man dips his cruller
into his coffee and what does
he have?
He has some 500 calories,
enough for a good meal, but
mostly fat and sugars.
It is not good eating, except
for a snack, now and then.

Experience AZ "a truck driver
the past eleven years plus
Army training In truck main
tenance mechanics has just
about convinced Charlie that
he'd enjoy the rest of his life
behind the big steering wheel.
Now, Charles isn't quite so
sure.
In Kansas City, Missouri, where
Indignation as Minnesotans know
it did not exist until late in 1854,
Charlie had no trouble obtaining
membership in Local 5l4, General
Drivers, Helpers and Terminal
Employees Union. He had even
less difficulty finding employ
ment at a truck driver.
However, rumors of better jobs
and opportunities in Minnesota
reached Charlie down" in Kan
sas City and in April of this year
he came to st. Paul, the capital
city of Minnesota. But let Charlie
tell you his own story;
When I got TO st. Paul, l bet
I made the rounds of every truck
ing firm here. l read the want
ads day after day. One day, Muir
ply Motor Freight advertised for
drivers and freight handlers.
The personnel manager out at
Murphy's took quite bit Of time
explaining the company's opera
ton to me; you might almost
think he was glad to see me. Dur
ing my interview ] could see sew
eral white men busy with the
written part of the drivers ex-
animation. Several Of them were
hired, but / didn't even get to
take that part of the test.
Being a union man I reported
the incident to Local 120, the driv-
er's union here in st. Paul, but not
having my Kansas City union
credentials with me at the time.
l suppose they didn't take me too
seriously. At any rate, 1 haven't
heard anything from the union"
Charlie is currently employed
by the Post Office Department in
st. Paul but he would prefer driv-
ing a truck. But even more than
that, Charlie likes the good things
he has seen in Minnesota.
It is tragic that earnest, hard
working young men like Charles
Williams, American, cannot have
both.

We decry the injustice of the
south's legalized discriminatory
practices and point with pride to
ordinances and laws prohibiting
similar practices in the north. The
irony of our situation escapes us
in our SNUG complacency for we
too often forget that the south's
actions, no matter how repugnant
to us, are couched in custom and
that custom has been given the
sanction of the law
But, IL the sOuth's actions are
repugnant TO us, what then of
our nOrth's actions which defy
even the law without the sane
ton of custom?
Not since the Reconstruction
Era has so much noise been direct
ed against an unjust south. From
the august halls of the u. S. Su-
preme Court; from the ivied walls
of campus in Alabama; from the
corpse of the Till lad lying beside
a river bank in Mississippi;
from the mob-infested streets
in Little Rock; from all of these
have come the hue and cry against
a legalistic south. And all of this
sound and fury is good, discordant
but good!
But what Of the illegal" in
justices of the north where FEPC
reigns full-robed in platitudes I?
The southern Faubusite is no more
iniquitous than the northern writ
er Of restrictive covenants and
neither is worse than the tongue
in-cheek employer who, while in
terviewing prospective employees
of Negro ancestry, seeks every
means at his disposal to evade
FEP legislation.
In essence then, if we in the
north condemn the south assert
ing as we do that legalized dis
elimination is unjust, we must
stand ready to receive and correct
the double charge against us:
DISCRIMINATION IN MIME
sofa is BOTH ILLEGAL AND
UNJUST.
