AS a picture of Qualification,
I consider the people in the
South, yes, of how they suffer
and are tormented, yet we, the
Negro grow stronger in our be-
lief that our freedom can be
obtained.
One man in the Congo lost
his life because of his want for
freedom, iPatrice Lumumba,
noble leader. Although our peo-
pie are so violently tormented
We still walk in the path of
faith.
The people of the Congo have
for several years been seeking
4 chance to be equal to the man
Of his country. Leader after
'eader has not as yet decided
what can and must be done a
oout the great question; What
3an be done to insure our
freedom 2"
More can be done, much more.
f only the people, the Congo
'ese, would disregard others
helping them, and help them
selves. The Communist is surely
not the answer, but I do believe
Z more courageous and stronger
leadership is needed.

WHAT | THINK OF THE
;TRIFE IN THE CONGO
BY Theodore Harris
8th Grade Student,
Kellar School

What think of the strife
in the Congo is that the Congo
lese people are trying hard to
have their freedom. Many of the
whites don't want them to have
their freedom, and they are try
ing to gain the right to do the
things anyone would do.
Some of the people of the
Honpo probably cried because
of their leaders, death, Patrice
Lumumba. He was trying to
help the Congo to a better way
of life. In the Congo there were
probably a few of his own peo-
ME that would have killed him.
I don't think thew had the least
idea to kill him, because he was
advancing them toward freedom.
The whites were the ones that
would have killed him because
of their jealousy, to keep the
Negro from being free.
Their present leader, Kasavu-
blu might have many enemies,
hut because of Patrice Lumum-
ba's death, he is probably on
the lookout for any of his enc
mics, Negroes and whites.

ginning to come to life, and we
are being respected by every
other race of people. [ think
that every person who is ever
considered to be Negro, should
be proud and not ashamed, and
should really appreciate the
strife, hardships, and sadness
that these persons are going
through to be free.
Here in the United States we
are considered to be free, but
we must realize that the dark,
skinnd people of the Congo are
our brothers, and I think we
should all be very proud and
respectful of and to our brothers
of Africa, who are SO willingly
fighting to gain their freedom.
Africa was once called the
dark continent, but no longer
can we refer to it by this name,
for out of Africa has come
some of our greatest spokesman.
Such a man was Patrice Lu-
murnba. 7 think that the Ne
groid race everywhere has suf-
fered loss, which is irving to
be regained by the dark men
of Africa.

In this day and age, you heal
about so many tragedies that
are happening in the Congo. ]
think that it is a shame, and
something should be done about
it. Everytime you turn on the
radio or television you hear of
something about the Congo.
We are all united in this big
United States of America. Some
of us are white, Negro, Indian,
Chinese and many other differ
ent races. I think we should all
stick together and be peaceful,
and not fight and kill like they
are doing in the Congo
Now we have a new President,
who is Mr.. Kennedy. Maybe in
the future he will do something
about the strife in the Congo.
He should take a trip to the
Congo and have long, serious
talk with the people, maybe
that would help.
Negroes in the Congo and
anywhere else are just the same
as in a prison, or locked up for
safe keeping. Maybe in the near
future, Negroes will have a bet
ter chance to succeed in the
United States, or even In the
Congo
We can't help the Congo just
by staying at home and saying,
What a shame" and ooh my
God" We should all get together
and form an organization and
see what We can do. It may not
be very much, but at least it
would be start.
People in the Congo are peo-
pie just like us. They are hu-
man, they aren't wild beasts in
the jungle. Some white people
in the Congo theat the Negroes
as it they were wild beasts.

In the earlier part of this
month, Congolese Premier Pa
trice Lumumba was killed. This
was undoubtedly one of the most
heart-breaking deaths ever ex-
perienced by the Negroid race,
not only in Africa, but in many
other parts of the world.

They can be built to fill in
narrow or irregular shapes.
For the hobby-minded

According to a recent
technical bulletin issued by
the Division of Housing Re-
search, a full basement un-
der a one-story house of
average size is worth about
$4,000 as compared to a cost
Of $1,000 for an ell or addi-
ton above ground to house
the heating plant and a Ger
tain amount of storage space.

Basement or Crawl Space?

The question as to whether
a house with a full basement
or cellar is better than a
house with just a crawl
space is still being argued.
Our own opinion is that,
inasmuch as we no longer
have to store 10 tons of coal
in the cellar or make room
for barrels of potatoes, ap-
pies and flour, the crawl
space is the ideal plan for
the modern home. We be-
lieve that an ell or utility
room above ground is far
better than twice the space

Get the Most From Outdoor LIVING

dow wall. The trick here is
to make the outdoor portion
a mere extension of the liv-
ing room and at the same
level.
Easiest way to accomplish
this is to design a wood deck
at the exact level of the liv-
ing room floor.
Evening star., 1961-09-15

To really get the most out
of outdoor living facilities,
they should be designed so
the family has easy access to
them from the home.
Ideal is the indoor outdoor
living room. whose indoor
outdoor areas are separated

dries, workrooms and recrea-
tons rooms,
Considering this question
from a completely practical
angle, it does seem that a
house which is built over an
ample crawl-space and has
good provisions made for
storage, heating and family
activities, is far better than
one which costs more and
makes it necessary to go
below ground to take ad-
vantage Of space.

If there is plenty of room
and a large patio wood deck
is desired, then it is also
smart to have an access to
the deck from the kitchen as
well as the living room. This

The party was led through series of buildings,
he said, and emerged on the ar6eld where, parked
some distance away, was a huge flying saucer. 1t
was shaped like bell, about 100 feet in diameter
and 80 to 40 feet high In silent awe, they walked
out to the space ship where, Berney boasted, 'be-
cause of the high regard which officials of the
Federal Government have for me, was asked to be
the first to enter"
The voice became visible
Inside the saucer" he continued, II heard
voice. The voice said had been chosen the
representative on Earth for the planet Venus. After
a brief conversation, the voice became visible
blue glow - and the blue glow suddenly changed
into the form of human being.
''He identified himself as Prince Uccelles. The
prince said that his planet wished to create bond
of friendship with the United States and Venus had
chosen me go-between. Uccelles promised to give
his planets archaeological formulas to the United
States on condition they were kept secret At this
point, two very high officials of our Government -
am not at liberty to tell you their names stepped
forward and gave our country word that UcCeles
every wish would be respected
After this astonishing encounter, Berney told
Miss Book that he flew back to Pittsburgh with the
Westinghouse OlIlCldIS IHdl evening",
Uccelles revealed himself to Berney in his hotel
room and disclosed the secrets of the Venutian
Modulator which Westinghouse to manufacture
as the first of series of marves from outer space
This valuable machine functions by extracting
energy from the atmosphere" Uccelles explained
and in his words Overtone of the magic box
which Berney had described to the Rehoboth Beach
couple in 1853. ut not only generates power for
light and manufacturing but manufactures of itself
the product we call magnetic hux,' source of
limited power. The Modulator can softly lift and
lower millions of tons in fraction of second
1t propel planes and space ships at the speed of
light - or hold them motionless in the sky. 1t
produces power potential far greater than any
thing your atomic energy can contrve." In per-
sonal aside during this interesting conversation,
Uccelles told Berney he was 900 years old!
The flying saucer croze
If it seems incredible that anyone should accept
such fantastic tale without investigation bear in
mind that for years the press had carried stories
about flying saucers. The Air Force has explained
most of them mistaken observations of quite
natural phenomena. For few, no easy explanation
has been offered as yet
