Why Waste Time?


instinctively ask yourself Il wonder what he thinks
about me?" Do other peoples opinions of you absorb
much of your thinking time?
There teacher l once knew, who used to say:
There very few people who Intentionally.
When people it is merely that they afraid
frightened people don't think clearly They lash out at
anyone and everything. And if you of your
self, you will have only pity for them"
The biggest l know is living example of
that truth. He is constantly reved and sandered by
little people, who even more disturbed when they
find he has no hatred for tnem only kindness He is
selfcontaned and enough of his beliefs that
he has time to understand the other mans problems.
And therein lies the secret of his and of the
devotion he inspires in those who know him. He takes
the trouble to understand what it is they trying to
do-and why He does not assume he knows their
ves He is too big to ever be petty to hold grudge,
though he will fight to the last ditch for cause in
which ne believes, for friend-or enemy - in
trouble.
Most people not interested in problems. They
interested only in their own situations If we could
realize that would not continuously be seeing
insults where insults exist, misnterpret actions
and speech to detriment. For time spent on
worrying what people will think is that much time vast
ed. We should remember that difficulties
important to than to others, theirs to
them.
Men hate each other because they do not under
stand each other The know about their neigh
bors, either in shop in store in street in state
the less they will hate each other and the better will they
work together for the common good
know preach on that too often But it is the
secret of all human relations 1t is the only key to bet
ter conditions in bormanagement relations in national
affairs and in world crises And it all goes back to the
individual Only consider the other mans side Of
the situation only you recognize that he looks at
his side first you big enough to overlook pet
tness and apparent meanness-remembering that, al
most invariably, it is caused by panc-and you

Whom The Gods Would DESTROY

The other day read the report of a lengthy
study which reached the conclusion that the American
Negro is losing his of humor
That there is much evidence which to base the
conclusion that the American Negro is losing his
of humor may be easily from the criticisms, by
certain Negro individuals and groups, levied against
such presentations of the humorous side of Negro life
the Amos and Andy Show the performances of Louise
Beavers MAINTAIN Morean Rochester and other outstand
ing Negro comics, criticism that afraid would
also be levied against the great mater, Bert Williams,
he alive and on the stage today.
The American Negro will never rise to greatness in
his estimation, in the estimation of Others is
long he looks back in anger at the art forms which
his history and tradition has produced.
In looking at the conclusion, and the evidence that
the American Negro is losing his of humor
him getting mad, and and the victim of
psychological turmoil the result of having virtually aban
doned pride of in the struggle for civil rights and
first-class citizenship
Indeed it may we'll be the efforts of certain groups
to refute the idea that there is such thing Negro
that has led to the Illustration and bewderment
evident among the American Negro masses today.
Those Negro preachers whose main pre-occupation
to be that of leading in the civil rights field
could the far better by turning their talents
and attention to this growing evidence of madness and
anger among the Negro Masses especially they recall
the ancient saying Whom the Gods Would Destroy,
They First Make Mad"

West Texas to the Gulf Coast was
denied. The companies said ex-

the market demands.
Also rejected was a request by
producers that pipeline companies
connect all wells, unless they prove
the connection is not justified. The

that the producers were not really

More Texas Wells

Austin The Texas Railroad

The commission set up a new

to get pipeline connections.
Both the pipeline and producers
may apply for exceptions to the
order.
The commission would examine
evidence relating to ability Of the

Those Accidents Moy Not
Be Accidental

isn't it a shame about Alice
you know, falling and break
ing her wrist last week? That's
the fourth time in the past three
years she's tumbled and broken
something. Guess you'd call Alice
accident-prOne."
Comments such as the above
are repeated hundreds of times
in America every day. However,
a better term than accident
prone" would be "fatigue-prone."
There are several reasons why
some people fall frequently, or
suffer repeated industrial acct
dents, or become involved in a
series of automobile crashes. But
one of the major factors lead
ing to accidents is fatigue. And
not necessarily physical fatigue.
Constant worry and mental
stress can so benumb the senses
that the weary victim becomes
careless and negligent. He exper-
fences his many mishaps while in
this state.
If you're the type who has
more than his share of accidents,
don't blame it on dad luck" Ov-
erworking? Worrying too much?
Take advantage of those coffee
breaks and paid vacations. Man
agement realizes that the rest
periods actually improve the
quality of your endeavor.
Get out to the ball games on
weekends, or in the evening. Go
to the theatre and concerts,
where your enjoyment of the en-
tertainment won't be interrupted
by family conversation and bick-
ering. If you commute by bus or
train, doze off whenever you can.

Don't Be Coy About
Turning Cruy

Gray hair, depending upon the
way you look at it, can be mark
of distinction or a mark Of dis
Indignation. But whether those
silvery strands begin to appear
when you're 20 or 60, the grazing
process can be caused by some
emotional disturbance or chemi-
cal upset in the body.
Most Of us have heard of
cases in which persons literally
turned gray over night" after
suffering a great emotional shock
or narrowing experience. Not
quite as spectacular, but far
more common, is the gradual
change in hair coloring due to
mental stress or a dietary def
cheney.
Adequate rest and relaxation,
learning to conquer worry, will
help combat gray hair if your
work or home life is fraught with
tension.
For those whose problem can
be traced to diet, foods high in
B-complex vitamin content are
recommended. Some of them are
whole wheat, whole rye, pork,
ham, oysters, shrimp, clans, liv-
er, sweetbreads, and brewers
yeast.
If your hair is prematurely
turning gray, don't just shrug it
off by explaining, dad was snow
white before he reached 49,"
Your doctor of chiropractic sug-
gests the possibility that your
trouble is more deep-seated than
an hereditary tendency. And
there still may be time to restore
the original color of your hair,
as well as to improve your over
all physical condition. A complete
physical check-up is the first step
for you to consider.

in case you happened to miss them,
you might like to read them. One,
you notice is copy of my column
taken from the Pittsburgh Courier.
Another is Sam Hoskin's column in

taken from the white dailies. One
points up the fear that Negroes are
now encountering in Georgia Tin
line with your contention that race
relations in the South is at its
lowest ebb); the other is an ac-
count of a Bishops (white) con-
tention that the Negro should
strive to get the vote before fight
ing for Indignation (the same argu-
ment which you advanced). |
thought these latter two items were
significant in that they came to
