Plea To United Nations
In a resolution on the Middle

tinuance of the United Nations
emergency force in the GAIA Strip
"as long as necessary to guaran-
tee that no raids or counter-raids,
retaliation or counter-retaliation
are undertaken"
The resolution declared that the
force must remain "as long as it
is needed to protect freedom of
navigation in the Straits of Tran
and the Gulf Of Aqaba."

Old Man. His life of shadow and
sunshine is told by Carl B. Wall
in the May Readers Digest.
Handy is blind and 81 years old
today, yet vigorous and cheerful,
still entertaining people with his
golden trumpet and philosophy.
His father told him, "Wear life

he remembered that counsel when
he was first stricken blind, from
overwork and worry, in the 1920's.
That was just few years after

try, and made him a late success
over night.
Handy changed his ways in order
to follow his fathers advice. He

recovered his health and, after an
operation, recovered his eyesight
too. Handy rebuilt his shattered
business, and shared his talent and
good fortune. The more he inter
ested himse- in others, the more
his business picked up. For ex-
ample, song he had written years
before, Aunt Hagar's Blues,' sud-
denly became hit. Even as he
paid off his own debts, Handy ad
vanced grocery money to impover-
ished song writer's, paid hospital
bills for musicians out of work,
contributed to scores of private
charities.
One e"ening Handy listened pa
tiently toxa stranger. The man
had a novef,-idea-and the money
to back it up. The idea was a
concert in Carnegie Hall in New
York City, to show the evolution
of Negro music.
The concert was a tremendous
success. Others like it followed.
Paul Whiteman and other fine or
chestras made symphonic arrange
ments of Handy's music. Royalties
poured in from record sales and
Handy was freed forever from fl
nancial worry. His music is an
important part of the mainstream
of modern culture, and Handy has
a secure place in the gallery of
great Americans.
This recognition, and strength
of spirit, sustained him when
Handy was stricken blind perma-
nently in 1889. He continued work
ing vigorously and cheerfully. He

The provisional agenda for the

in relation to the African Cont

problem and steps to be taken to
safeguard the independence and
sovereignty of the Independent
African states.
Economic cooperation between
the African states will also be

from the West Jefferson High
School, Denny Stratton and Rich

to attend the American Legion

Perry on June z.
"The Legion wants them to learn

every right and privilege there is
a. corresponding duty and RESPONSE
bility. They will learn to be vigil
ant lest any force develop that
would invade or threaten the fun
damental rights that belong to
every citizen. They will be taught
to be able to accept responsibilities
and to carry out their respective
duties and they will be asked to
bring back to their school the OBJ
jective citizenship ideals and les
sons which they have learned
while attending Buckeye Boys
State" said a Legion member.
