The Practical Approach To Peace

In Americas search for the perfect missile and the
perfect missile defense, forgetting something?
Are we forgetting the search for the only perfect
luton to the present world crisis?
Are we forgetting that the principles of brother
mood and offer the only hope and
world security?
This is fearsome age. Man has welded to the
instruments OF awful destruction he has devised the
power to deliver them No nation no part of civiza
ton is secure And Americas response to the eney's
power OF destruction is frenzed effort to match it.
missile for missile, warhead for warhead.
Have we forgotten the divine warning that he who
lives by the sword shall perish by the sword?
This is not to suggest that we stop our efforts to
keep strong enough technologicaly and miltariy to
deter any attack We do need to keep strong We do
need missile program
But we also need program of spirituality, of
human understanding of seeking for peace.
We need the creation of presidential peace COM

When the Lord made heaven and
earth
And then made man we are told
Blew breath into mans nostrils
you see
Man became to be a living soul.
Gods holy word tells us all today
To love one another, it is all true
His word did not mention color at
all
Neither did it mention white or
black.
We must obey the holy word of
If we expect our soul in heaven
to rest
We must not add or take away
If we expect our soul to be blessed
The Lord gives to me these words
every week
And they all l can say are true
facts
| have no certain race to love
Gods love is for both white and
black.
We might as well get right today
Tomorrow with you may not come
The Holy Bible tells US all the
same
Gods will it must be done.
Why build house to worship the
Lord
And allow the devil to be boss
Jesus has and all seeing eye
1t takes the strength of God to
get across.
The house of God must be cleaned
out today
It's a place for us to gain heaven
true souls
1t is not place for the devil to
get in
| With the Gavel in his hand to rule.
The spirit of God must rule his own
1t is time for the big fellow to
come down
For Jesus is the door keeper for
heaven
So how about getting you a crown.
We have got to allow Jesus to lead
| The big fellow is about at the end
of his row
Because Jesus says | am the way
And no other way to go.

,, SO we must lift up Jesus Christ
If we expect our soul to be free.

President other requests for action
in the field of Indignation and civil
rights, all of which were repeatedly
included in a nine-pCint program.
81 should say that the confer
ence has put new hope in the
hearts of Negroes throughout the
country" Randolph told newsmen
after the White House conference.
Lester B. Granger, Executive
Secretary of the National Urban
League, said following the confer
ence that the program presented
the President was not something on
which he could reach his decisions
in a brief conference. He said it
would have been injudicious had
the President said Immediately
that l will do this or that.
The group also urged the Presi-
dent to proclaim to the nation be-
fore schools open in September
that the law will be upheld with
the total forces at his command.
That a White House conference
be called to discuss methods of
obtaining peaceful compliance with
Supreme Court Indignation rulings.
That government agencies sup
ply information, resources and ad-
vice to all communities and officials
seeking to solve school Indignation
problems.
That the President appeal to
both political parties to support
civil rights legislation which would
include, a provision, rejected last
year, to- spell out more power for
the U. s. Attorney General to en-
force Civil. Rights.
That the President also order
the Justice Department to. protect
the right of citizens to register
and vote, so that thousands of
Negroes will not be denied the
right to cast ballot in the 1858
election.
Some observers here saw in the
silence OF the President some re-
action to the bitter criticism made
by certain Negro leaders, including
some of those present at the White
House Monday, of his address to
the Summit Conference of Negro
Leaders recently held here.

Judge Refuses To
Stop His Order
Delaying School
Integration

Little Rock, Ark. - A federal
judge Monday refused to stay his
own order delaying school integra-
ton here for 21s years. He indi-
rectly advised the National Assn.
for the Advancement of Colored
People to try for the stay in a
higher court.
Wiley Barton, a Negro attorney
for the NAACP, said he would take
the cue.
"Have motion, will travel" Bar
ton quipped.
u. S. Dist. Judge Harry J. Lem
ley denied Barton's motion Mon
day morning after hearing six
minutes of oral argument and re-
cessing court for an hour to write
the opinion.
From a practical standpoint to
grant this motion and stay the en-
forcement of our judgment would
to large extent nullify our ORDER
Lemley SAID.
Would Continue
He said it would probably take
three months to carry the case to
the Supreme Court "and in the
meantime the situation at Central
High School which we have found
to be intolerable would con-
tinue
The 74-year-old jurist said he
had handled the school boards
petition for an integration delay
as quickly as possible in order to
reach a decision before Sept. 1.
ain the meantime the plaintiffs
can apply at least to the Court OF
Appeals of this circuit for a stay
of the enforcement of our judg-
ment," he said.

munities help themselves - to
prevent, combat and control jul
venile delinquency.
Mrs. Scott was president of

rected a survey of Anticipated

Sponsoring White

The Richland county All coun-

Tag Day Sale on March 20. All
members will be selling the min
iature white canes on that day
for the benefit of the Montana
Association for the Blind, Inc,
which has four aims; (1) aid in
prevention of blindness, (2) aid
in physical restoration of the
blind (3) aid in vocational re-
Mobilization Of the blind and az
to work for the social and eco
nomic Improvement of every blind
person in the state.
The fourteenth annual Summer
School for the Adult Blind will
be in session at Hamilton Hall
on the MISC campus in Bozeman
from June is to July 10. Spon-
sored and directed by the Mon
tana Association for the Blind,
its continuance is entirely de-
pendent upon the success of the
White Cane Drive. Proceeds from
the drive have been steadily de-
creasing in recent years while the
cost of operating the school con-
tinues to increase. The average
cost per student is now over 5000
for the five-week session. Except
for incidentals, the school is free
to all students. This must neces-
sarily be the case since very few
people indeed could afford to pay
this amount out of their own
pockets. For scores of usually
handicapped people this has been
a stepping-stone to a new, happy
and useful life. Give generously
to the tag day campaign and as
sure the continuation of this pro-
gram which means so much to
Montana's usually handicapped.

Host to National
Representative

Richland Post No. IL played
host to three national and de-
partment members Thursday eve
ming, March 9th at the Lalonde
hotel. National Field Representa-
tive j. Lloyd Wignall spoke of a
recent meeting he attended in
Washington, D. c. He stated: 'eThe
American Legion was well receiv-
ed by the Legislature in Washing
ton and that he was assured no
drastic changes would be made
in the present program of the
American Legion in respect to
the benefits for veterans. He
also stated that the Legion
represents only 1870 of the veter-
ans in the United States, but
our lawmakers in Washington ac-
cept the 'Voice of the Veteran"
as spoken through the American
Legion because, regardless of
creed, color, religion or whether
a veteran is a member of the
American Legion, no discretion is
shown in the benefits he receives.
Therefore the 'Voice of the Vet
eran" is heard through the Ameri-
can Legion.
Department Commander Harold
S. Brubaker spoke on the state
and nation = wide membership
drive for the American Legion.
He especially praised the efforts
of Richland Post No. IL in their
effort to obtain the goal set by
the department. And especially
the efforts of one of Richland
Post No. IL members, Hurry
Carey, who took it upon himself
to contact 20 delinquent members
on Wednesday and Thursday of
last week, in order to secure as
many applications as possible be-
fore the meeting. 1t was a great
act and all Legion members could
well follow the pace set by Mr..
Carey. incidentally, he signed up
all 20.
Richland Post No. IL was also
honored by a visit from Vernard
H. Hanson, assistant department
adjutant, who spoke briefly on
the membership drive in general
and wished the post the best of
luck in reaching it's goal.
Commander Fulkerson stated
that Richland Post would not be
satisfied to just reach the goal,
but would strive 10 go beyond.
The distinguished guests were
kind enough to make a recording
for KICK radio and it will be
