Strong hands beat at my head
and pushed me into a waiting
automobile.
Strong, vengeful, angry hands
held me. They throttled my breath,
ing and tore at my hair. Then they
pulled me out Of the automobile
and threw me to the ground. They
picked me up again, and dragged
me across a ditch to a tall oak tree

Strong, hateful hands placed a
coarse moose around my neck.
Grating, fiendish voices called
me vile names. A woman had
been harmed, they told me, and
they said that 1 was to blame
because 1 had been there, at the
mouth Of the alley, and 1 was 1.

1t was a clear, crisp day. Many

walked toward the table where
they claimed their ballots. But a
man stepped out, thrust his arm
at me, and ordered me to leave

thinking the real estate man said
they would get a huge sum. He
said they would get a fair price
for their home and they did, she
said.
Their cry is that they cannot
go out and buy a home comparable
to theirs for the same price. They
do not understand initiation. 1t is
sad plight for a great many
older couples who have lived in
their homes for many many years
to be uprooted in the late years
Of their lives but they realize pro-
gress must be made and so, in
time, they will realize they must
move out of their dear familiar
homes and buy a new house and

near like the old home as possible.
They will have to.

councillor and take his advice
about the price house they should
buy and she hoped it would be all
right.
AS she was leaving she said
they would buy income property
and the best they can. Their
are many young people who are
faced with the same problem. Their
homes are paid for and they, too,
will have to pay a huge sum for
the next one they buy, due to in

When the committee recessed

proposal. The committee adjourned

I hadn't written any column since

A lady stopped me on the street
the other day and was trying to
tell me about being put out of her
house. At first I did not realize
what she was saying but soon she
told me this sad story and it is
happening all over wherever they

She said, they told me I could

can buy home with the money
they gave me for our duplex. Our
duplex is in good condition, we
have good tenants and we could
live there in peace and comfort
the few short years we have to
live. (She and her husband are in
their late 70s.)
The money we will receive for
our duplex will just make a down
payment on a house that is not as

Self-Styled Liberal
Though Inouye is a self-styled
liberal as far as civil rights goes,
this pronouncement gave Southern
congressman hope that another
member might be swayed to join
their side.
Earlier, they had fought Hawaii's
admission as a state, fearing that
this additional vote would aid the
pro-intergre alton n congressman.
This fear stemmed particularly
from the fact that Inouye, a jap
anese- American, comes from ethnic
melting pot of the Pacific-Hawaii.
