In Raleigh when the trial Of 43

In fact there was a suggestion
by one city official that the trial
be held in the city auditorium to
accommodate all the Negroes who
wanted to attend.
This, however, did not mater

her friends never find time to come
to see her or to take her out in
their cars.
Her friends have not forgotten
her but she has changed 50 much
it is almost impossible to even
spend a few hours with her. She
is bitter because Of her physical
condition, which could be 50 much
worse; she Is bitter because she
cannot go and do as she used to
and she actually envies her friends
their good health and strength.
She complained to her doctor
about her aches and pains and he
told her she had lived a good many
years and machines wore out In
time and so with life In order to
be as healthy as possible after a
certain age, you have to keep work
ing to keep going, physically. OF
course she didn't like to hear her
self compared to a machine but
that is the truth. Anything wears
thin with old age and you do have
to work, be happy and live as well
as you can
Don't grumble because you are
not as well as others, but do all
you can to help yourself be as well
as possible, and you won't have
time to feel 50 sorry for your own
condition. Before you know II
you win find yourself smiling more
and more and a smile will certain
ly bring your friends back.
You and you alone are the cause
Of friends displeasure. No one has
time to sit and listen to your
complaints each time they go to
see you. They are not unsympathe-
tic to your condition, but they want
to help you by avoiding the sub
jet Of health except to say you

look better. Telling a friend she
looks better really win make her
feel better. She may know she does
not look any better when she looks
in the mirror but hearing you say
it she feels, perhaps I do look
better and that gives her a new
thought.
When you say-ycur friends
have forsaken you-do you ask
yourself If you are as friendly as
you might be or have you grown
sour and unfriendly?
Friends, as a rule, are more than
loyal to those who have real prob
lens, whether the problems are
financial losses, loss Of health or
family cares.
In order to have a friend you
must be a friend Try it.
Generally, it's the YOU-boat
which sinks the friendship.

From Sif-DownS

Raleigh Durham, N. c. - Ms
directed resentment, citation, de-
termination, pride and unexpected
benefits are some Of the interest
ing by-products Of the sit-down
demonstrations against jim crow
lunch counters in the two North
Carolina cities Of Raleigh and Dur
ham.
An employee Of the Negro-owned
Farmers and Mechanics bank In
downtown Durham, said that q
number Of whites working In the
downtown district are resentful
over the closing Of the lunch count
ers in three chain stores which
they patronized at coffee breaks
and during their lunch periods.
TITS all right for the Negro
students to have their demonstra-
tons" one vexed white office
worker said. but they didn't have
to close down lunch counters to
make their point"
It's Store Managers Fault
1t, Of course, didn't occur to the
woman that it wasn't the protest
ing Negro students who had shut
down the lunch counters. Instead,
it was the store managers who
decided to close up the counters
rather than serve the Negroes.
But all whites are not unhappy
over the situation. A number Of
small independent merchants with
no particular fondness for the
chains which can undersell them,
have noted an increase in business
since the students threw up picket
lines in front of the chain stores.
They don't care how long the
picket lines remain
And this has been an unexpected
blessing to the two Negro papers
in the cities. Seeking to capture
the Negro trade lost by the chains,
some independent merchants who
never thought it worthwhile before
are advertising in the Negro press
as a subtle hint that Negro trade
is welcome in their establishments.
I'VE Can Outiast Them"
But in spite Of repeated arrests,
and threatened Jail sentences the
Negro students are continuing with
their demonstrations.
I'VE know we can out-last
them" one told me. because
things can't return to normal I'M
til the issue is settled"
And things aren't normal when
even a white person can't hop up
on a lunch counter stool and get
a cup Of java and a cruIler.
Though they are keeping hands
off, adult Negroes are backing
the students to the hilt- There's no
shortage Of money to be used to
bail the students out Of jail or to
provide them with legal represent
alton in the courts.
Asked If they didn't feel the
demonstrations by the students
were not a rebuke to their elders

Humane Society Of
US. Enters Sfote
At PierSon Urqinc

A move is shaping up to give
Minnesota a stronger coverage of
volunteer organized effort in the
forming of a state and national
all powerful new humane society.
Addressing a group of humane
enthusiasts from the Twin City
area and Washington County at
Midway YMCA Friday, June 10,
Truman T. Pierson, longtime pres
ident Minnesota Humane Education
Society organized in 1850, incorpor-
ated 1926, and president Allied
Cat Lovers International Inc, en-
dorsed and applauded entry of the
Humane Society of the U. S.
Washington, De-, into Mime
sofa.
He successfully offered motions
to bring about amendment of the
bylaws of Animal Protective AS
ISOLATION of Minnesota Inc. and in
Clusion of so chapter members
into new corporation to be known
as the Humane Society of the
US, Minnesota branch.
Pierson declared that there are
too many loosely knitted aggrega-
ton groups "dabbling' at human
welfare for children and animals
and said it was time to revamp
and thoroughly organize Mime
sotans to combat cruelty to chill
dren and animals.
He said such a group as the
comparatively new, but quite eff
fective Humane Society of the
United States is to put teeth into
anti-cruelty laws and establish
stronger laws to stop dog poison
ing, horse tail docking, cat cruel
ty, pigeon slaughter and poison
ing, dove destruction, sparrow
shooting and unnecessary slaugh-
ter Of other bears and birds.

lied humane societies.
