A Durned Serious Mufter
RIGHT HANDED VS.. LEFT HANDED
RAYMOND BUKER

lIlB people Ddck 10 Wnere they
came from idea. l doubt if the
Indians would take this country
back, after three hundred years
of white mis-rule. They had
good thing here. They practiced
soil conservation. The streams
ran clear. There was hunting and
fishing plenty for everyone. Of
course, they only killed as neces-
sary for food and clothing. There
were no taxes and no debt.
Look at it now. Forests cut
down, soil eroded, rivers choked
with silt, sewage, and sIudge
from industrial wastes.
The great white hunters spend
a lot of money for equipment
and licenses, then wantonly kill
ed in the name of SPORT.
We work a fourth of our time
for the government and the
amount of money it takes just to
pay the interest on the national
debt is more than a person can
possibly imagine. No, the white
man can't be too proud of the
progress he has made.
Speaking of morals, did you
ever compare family life in pri-
mitive tribes, anywhere in the
world, with the upper stratum Of
cociotxx. ~ A.y,S1r5on e =
Jesus had some pretty string
ent rules about adultery, stealing,
killing, and the strange part of
it all, these primitive tribes,
whether they were black-skinned,
red-skinned, or what, and who
had never heard of Christianity,
had just about the same set of
rules, and enforced them. Com
pare that to the record of Chris
tan America.
/ would like to challenge you
to spend ten minutes day
THINKING about this racial
question. Select one point that
you believe you believe about a
race other than your own, for ex-
ample, Negro children are men,
tally inferior to white children.
Think about this for ten min
utes. Tomorrow, take up where
you left off today. Think this
point through until you can
definitely decide in your mind
whether this is truth or prejudice.
Whenever you have this point
settled to your satisfaction, take
up another point, and so on.
Prejudice and good clear thinking
| just don't get along together, but
think it out for yourself.
There is one thing about the
Negroes in America that / can't
understand. I can't understand
how they can be so patient, so
forbearing, so loyal, in country
that boasts of equality, individ-
ual freedom, and justice, and still
treats a whole race of people as
second class citizens. We've tried
every other way, let's try the
Christian way, even in our
churches.
/ So, you folks who are left
| handed, you keep in your place
| and don't try integrating with us
right handlers.

Parade Against Hate

The worldwide epidemic of
anti-Semitic vandalism has led to
a rash of speculation by states
men, religious leaders and social
scientists. It's a little difficult,
they agree, to spot just where a
possible neo-Nazi conspiracy ends
and the suggestibility of psyche
paths and hooligans begins.
Christian leaders view these acts
as attacks on all religious

What do you think about peo-
pie who are right handed and
people who are left handed? Is
it the right handed ones who
have high mentality and the left
handed ones who are practically
morons, or vice versa? Are the
right handed ones of good moral
character and the left handed
ones hopelessly immoral, or vice
versa? Are the right handlers en-
titled to live in the best neighbor-
hoods and to send their children
to the best schools and leave the
slum areas and the separate and
unequal schools for the left hand
ers, or is that vice versa?
It's got me confused. Really,
though, I will admit that per-
sonally l don't think there is so
much difference between right
handed and left handed people.
Seems to me it's just one of those
physical characteristics that dis
tinguishes one person from an
other and that's about all it
amounts to, same as any other
physical characteristic you might
name, such as color of the skin,
for instance.
Seems like a lot of people are
confused about that one. Sort of
like some farmers are kind OF
prejudiced about what color hogs
they raise, some like red hogs,
some like black hogs, some like
white hogs, and some even like
black and white hogs, but they
all make pretty good ham and
bacon. I've never been able to
taste the difference.
This matter Of prejudice, seems
like it has more lives than cat,
it just carries on and on. Reminds
me of the story of the keeper Of
the pearly gates. There came a
timid knock and ST. Peter called
out, whats your Manner. "Mar-
ian Anderson, sir. ooh, yes, you
were a great singer. Well, come
in, but remember you are a
Negro, so keep in your place.
Another knock and again
Peters question. The reply
Jackie Robinson, sir" ooh, yes
you were a great ball player
Well, come in, but remember you
are a Negro, so keep in your
place"
This time a banging on the
gates. s'Who's there?," asked
Peter. SIN white and Protest

else do you have to know?." ssNo
thing at all, brother, come on in
you can have the run of thu
place. If the service isn't salts
factory, just let us know"
Poor old st. Pete. How doe
he keep all the rules straight?
Speaking of Negroes, / hav'
heard it said that they should b.
sent back to Africa where the,
belong. I'm in favor of that. A
the same time I think the Irisl
should be sent back to Ireland
the Germans back to Germany
the English back to England, tn
Swedes back to Sweden, and tn
rest of the white Americans bacl
to whatever country they cam
from.

The French will find it easier
to pay their way as tourists in
the United States following re-
taxation of money export re-
Strictions.
The United States Commerce
Department reports that French
residents travelling abroad may
now pay hotel and restaurant
bills by credit cards not SUBJ
ject to Government limitations
on foreign exchange for travel
outside France.
The credit will come under
the new International Hotel
Association card, which will
cost the Frenchman about $40
This new move, combined
with previous easing of cur
rency restrictions, will allow the
French tourist a wide margin
for spending abroad. The French
now can pay for transportation
before departure, draw foreign
exchange of about $500, and
export another 500 worth of
new francs for subsequent con-
version into other currencies.

countries in an effort to better
relations between those nations

the move as a drastic and per-

could permanently wreck Cuban
