1t seems as if the young man
of whom you spoke has flunked.
Why couldn't one of the girls have
taken up this correspondence and
showed our side of this great
controversy that is rocking the
world? I am very much disap-
pointed and embarrassed in writ
ing to this young man. 1t seems
very hard for a large part of our
group to realize the Power of the
Pen and the Press, and the Seq
regationists are using the Pen and
the Press for all they are worth;
and are getting away with it,
whilst a lot of our group are still
asleep on the job.
The Saturday Evening Post is
carrying serial by Prof Virgil
Blossom on the Central High
School at Little Rock. In one
place. he describes Miss Eckford
as making three attempts to pass
thru the Line of Soldiers to get
to the school building, but they
barred her way. When it did
happen, it was SO touching that l
wrote Miss Eckford a letter and
enclosed a check to encourage her
to press on,for she had touched
the hearts of the world. Some
one advised her to not open the
letter, but had her to send it back
to me with the check in tact. 1t
is grand thing to know now to
use an opportunity when it comes
to us.
A short while ago you had a
very fine Editorial on why some
preachers in Little Rock refuse
to fight for Civil Rights. You
quoted one as saying, that he
had very expensive window lights
in his church and that he was
afraid that they might be broken
out. Another said that a good
number of his members worked
for white people for their living,
and that they might lose their
jobs. Now as a minister of the
Gospel of Christ, I had this to say:
1t is written Without faith, it
is impossible to please Cod A
gain: YEA though I walk through
the Valley of the Shadow of
Death, l will fear no evil. Thy
rod any Thy staff they comfort
me-
Again: "The angels of the Lord
encampeth round about them that
fear Him, and delivereth them"
Again: "A thousand shall fall at
thy side and ten thousand at thy
right hand but it shall not come
nigh Thee"
Now in the face of all the en-
couraging Scriptures showing
Gods protection for His people;

Another unfortunate case
Of accidental poisoning in
the home has been brought
to my attention. Another
innocent child cut of in its
early years because of the
carelessness of its parents.
I have been reading that
a well known surgical-dress-
ing firm has been going all
out in a campaign to cut
down on avoidable poison
ings in the home. They call
the bathroom medicine chest
a potential home "booby
trap" because it is likely
to contain a tumble of
leftover remedies, out-of-
date prescriptions and lethal
drugs"
HERE ARE SOME excel
lent precautions:
/. Keep all poisonous sub
stances and dangerous drugs
in a safe storage place and
not in the medicine chest.
Store these out of reach Of
children.
2. Clean up your medicine
chest twice a year and throw
out old medicines and I'M
used prescription drugs.
3. Date all drug supplies
when you buy them and pro-
tect the labels with trans
parent tape.
4. Follow prescription di-
rections exactly.
5. Always throw bottles
away If the labels are miss
ing and you are uncertain Of
the contents.
6. Paste the name and tele-
phone number Of your doc
tor and druggist in your
medicine chest.
7. Prevent any one from
taking another persons pre-
scription.

at all possible to carry this

fair to impose weight and
anatomical specifications for
public positions where excess
poundage isn't clearly de-
monstrable as a hindrance to
productivity?
It can be argued that be-
cause people vary consider
ably in physical traits and
eating preferences, it is dis
criminatory to single out the
overweight as undesirable.
There is a marked trend
these days against barring
people from public employ
ment, whether it be on
grounds Of race, religion, pol
itics or other matters of in
dividual preference which
aren't directly related to the
individuals ability to perform
his duties. Heavyweights, too,
are entitled to their day in
court If the going gets rough.
It is also debatable whether
or not portly people are less
eff1cient-or not as respected
las their less ponderous as
sociates. After all, Winston
Churchill and Nikita Khru-
shchev. to name just two
public figures. are hardly
lightweights, yet both are
characterized as highly en-
ergetic and forceful people.
Chances are that the
opponents Of obesity no
matter how sincere their re-
formist zeal may be-will be
called upon to prove their
case so far as weight restric-
tons in job qualifications are
concerned.

There used to be a time
when excess weight was a
sign of affiuence and success.
But in this age Of high style
and higher blood pressure,
extra pounds are definitely
out Of fashion. We may be
approaching the time when
people who like to revel in
the iniquity of having too
much lard on their bones will
be a prosecuted minority.
A few years ago the United
States Army began to ride
hard on military fatties. with
a compulsory program Of spe-
cial diets, extra work and
threats Of dismissal. Now
comes news of Jimmy Bah

he is too fat. F. s. Rivers,

in Ontario Province, said
that the decision to drop the

by the Provincial Teachers

the ground that fat people do
not make good teachers. One

ity in teachers has q bad
