hinder notes in the kitchen and all around the house; if the family sees it in writing they can't forget it. I don't think the problems are any more special than having five or four or two children. 1t just costs more; they eat and eat, and go on eating. I bought six pairs of shoes today and there are several more to buy yet. Yes, I'll name the children so you can keep them straight There is Bob, seven teen; John, fifteen; Jim, twelve; Tricia, eight; Kathleen (Corky), four; Maureen (Tammy), three; and Tom, who will be seven months next week"
 Cmdr. Richmond said, Every once in while I stop and think how old I'll be when the last one gets out of high school and it's a pretty fantastic figure. We'll have grandchildren by then fer sure. We have only six at home right now; Bob is working this summer on three-man purse seiner out of Lazy Bay. Our son is cook, among other things, and knowing how little he likes to cook we wonder what sort of meals he serves. It's a wonderful experience for him"
 How have the Richmonds moved around so widely (they have had children born in all four corners of the United States) with their family? Mrs. Richmond answered this. we had a trailer for some years until we outgrew it when the fifth child was born. We went back and forth across the country and made vacations of our trans fers. and we sometimes used the trailer as a guest house when we settled down at the various sta. tions. We bought it before the days of the big plush houses on wheels; flower pots fell and broke, things turned over all the time, or slid around. We had some funny times in that" Chet Richmond suggested that they might go back to a trailer as the children go off the top and the family gets smaller.
 Up until now" Mrs. Richmond said, "our most interesting tour probably was Hawaii because il was there in 1946 that we had g severe tidal wave. Chet was away and our house was in Punuluu

Our morning worship was very
inspirational and surely all of us
received food for thought from 1t.
DR.. Floyd Massey spoke on the
topic, mo Backing Up Now.
His text was from Judges 11:35.
The story is told of Jeptha, who
went from very humble beginning
to a position of greatness, because
of his determination to follow
through with the vows he had
made to God. DR.. Massey urged
us to be steadfast in our convic-
tons and never go back on the
promises we make to God or man.

described before. Again it had
seemed that the fundamental
truth of human nature that oper-
ated then, was operating now.
The Minneapolis commission
wanted to find a way of disposing
Of the cherry pie before it, without
cutting the pie. That is, they want
to solve the discrimination in cab
companies without taking some
public action which might have
the appearance of their taking
sides for the justice-which they
are suppose to serve.
After an experience such as l
had before the commission, Ger
tain realizations are reinforced.
First, the notion that all men are
equal under the law is an theology
and not a practiced fact-espec-
tally where the Negro is concern
ed. Secondly, only in a few in
stances will white land Negroes
as welD continue to work toward
remedying an Unjust situation when
the pressure is brought to bear
and sides must be taken.
What Good Is FEPCS
This experience with a FEPC
also raised a question in my mind,
which I am sure must have been
raised in the minds of others, as
to the F.E.P. Commissions utiH-
ty. Is the FE.PC. doing the job
it was set up to do or is it just
another place where some middle
class individuals can relieve their
guilty feelings about the injustices
done to the Negro in the United
States through the years.
Although it seems that I am
rebuking all white people and all
Negroes who volunteer their time
to serve on such things as the
FE.P. Commission, that is not the
case. I am well aware that there
are some hardworking, sincere in
dividuals-white and Negro-who
do not bend under the weight Of
adverse pressure due to their pub
lie stand in favor of the Negro s
fight for equality. They continue
to walk upright and straight. If
this were not so, I dare say the
advances Negroes now enjoy would
not be as great. My feelings on
this matter can be summed up in
this little phase: Not every white
man is my enemy, but not every
Negro is my friend.-Maurice F,
