If this theory were practiced to it's
ultimate end, any part of the United
States could ask or demand the right to
form its own government, and it would
be granted. Yet we are observing the
centennial of a war fought for that
very reason. We say this only to show
how ridiculous the position which the
United States has taken with regard to
BUSTING the Belgians, Dutch, Portuguese,
French and British from their colonies

The United States is being backed in

Prince Edward In The News

WITH the anniversary Of Black Mon
day, May II, 1854 just few weeks
away, Prince Edward County is to be
visited by news agencies, magazines,
television and what-not. Already stories
have appeared in media of national
circulation - New York Times and
Saturday Evening Post, and if the rash
of additional reporters and writer's is
any sign more publicity is in the offing.
AS distasteful as continued rehashing
of Prince Edwards school stand is, the
people of the county must become &C
customed to it. Even though Prince Ed
ward is still before the federal courts,
and many questions of far-reaching
purport are still to be decided in courts
the situation is thought to be news
worthy.
Prince Edward County's action in re-
fusing to tax itself for integrated public
schools is so simple, that only to those
entirely familiar with the. past can
readily understand Writers and re-

Friends

It's nice to have some good old friends
Whose hearts ore kind and true;
The kind Of friend who'll always lend
A helping hand to you.
When soy this, know it's true,
Because, my friends, you see,
have such friends with kind true hearts,
In my vicinity.
While some Of them are neiehbors, close,
Others ore miles owoy;
But whether close or whether for,
love them all today.
IT is tine when things ore going
IN way to make you blue,
To discover friends ore showing
0ood old-foshioned foth in you
It is good when life seems dreory
And your hopes ore near their end,
Just to feel the hand clasp CHEEKY
Of Q faithful loyal friend
Sometimes think Of mother Eve
Who had no one to know
When she and Adam lived alone
I'm Eden, long ago.
She had no neighbors, near or for,
She had no kith or kin;
And for one, can't blame her much
Because Of her one sin
Back then, she had no women friends
To in her, interest toke;
So Why should we be hard on her
FOR talking with that snokeo
She had no friends to gossip with
Like women do today:
So, she just ate forbidden fruit
To poss the time away
SO, let's thank God for friends WE hove
Whose hearts ore kind and true;
Who olwoys stand with heIpinq hand
While life we journey throuoh.

Wisdom Divine
Lesson for April 80. 1861

OF all the strange features Of
the book Of Job. one Of the most
puzzling to all students of the
book is its ending. Let us pick
out just one of the difficulties
and try to get some light on it.
1t is in what God says about Job
and his friends. The friends are
condemned. Job is praised. On
the face Of it, this does not seem
to make sense. For God says to
the ends, You have not
spoken of me what is right, as
my servant Job has" What
makes that sound very odd is
that throughout the drama the
friends had never once criticized
God. but on the contrary defend
ed him. Job on the other hand
complains about God over and
over again. He complains be-
cause he was born. in the first
place. He feels he has been I'm
fairly treated. and he wants God
60 explain himself. He complains
that God will not come out and
talk to him like man. How can
it be that Job speaks Of God
what is right" while his friends
do not
The Unanswered Question
To solve this difficulty. some
students of this book declare that
what God means about speak
ing right" does not refer to the
whole debate between Job and
his friends. but only to Jobs alb
ject repentance (42:1-6). Job ad-
mits he was wrong to pry into the
secrets of God. while his friends
say not a word in the humility
of worship. This may be part of
the solution: but there may be
another part of it which needs
looking into.
For one thing, the great ques-
ton Of the book remains unan-
swered to the very last. Why do
the righteous suffer was the
question. and in particular. why
does this good man Job suffer?
An important part, therefore,
of the wisdom that comes from
God consists in admitting that
some questions. while not beyond
God. are beyond us. Wisdom is
not being able to answer all
questions. Wisdom is knowing
the difference between questions
which can. and questions which
can't, be answered so we can
understand them.
God Does Not Need Our Advice
Further. Job learns that wis
dom does not consist in our get
ting so smart that we are
equipped to offer God advice. Job
had more than once. in debate
with his friends. rather limited
that he could (if he were as
mighty as Cod arrange and run

points. than God arranges and
runs it. But in Chapter 40 God
says to him: Shall a Pathfinder

do you still want this job?"

THAT is WHAT President Ken
nedy is said to have asked Dick
Nixon after their conference last
week. But Mr.. Nixon, if he had
been elected, would not have
made it such a job, would not
have taken over everything in
sight - from Centennial hotel &C
commodations at Charleston to
maneuverS in Cuba.
What this country needs is
hero. It wants someone to rally
behind, look up to. Right or
wrong, and in spite of his youth
full charm, Mr.. Kennedy can't be
a hero unless he holds up a bit,
is more remote. He is into too
much, photographed at too much,
become too everyday, is letting
us know him too well.
THEN, TOO, we the people
have come to have too many Of
our patriotic, country loving
emotions evoked in negatives
rather than positives. Look at the
John Birch Society with its in
-disputably patriotic ideals, stand
ing before the nation in terms of
accusation, of negation of minus
signs against nearly everybody in
sight. If it could give us hero
rather than a lot of nominations
to be whipping boy for charges
of communism.
MR.. NIXON, after travelling
the country. says President Ken
nedy is exceedingly popular but
that his program isn't. But we
begin to need someone to be
more than popular, someone to
play hero for us as FDR did for
so many and Ike did.

Hauling equipment, almo ST
100000 worth, arrived in Window
Rock last week, on its way to Nava-
10, New Mexico.
Two Perer-Bilt, and two Auto
Car trucks, and S Eidal Trailers,
arrived from Albuquerque, where
the Tribal Chairman, Paul Jones,
took delivery for NFPI.
The Eidal Trailers were built
to specifications given to the COM
pany by the Navajo Enterprise.
The trucks and the trailers will
hold some thousand board feet of
lumber. OF course, this will be in
the form of logs, not lumber.
This new equipment is in the
form of an experim e Mt for the
Tribe.
A Committee, establi shed by the
Navajo Forest Products Industry
Management Board, met to study
and sum up the past experiences of
the present Sawrnill op e r tion in
the field of log hauling, and make
recommendations to the Board.
This Committee was made up of
Ned Hatathli, Sam Day III, J. Maui
rice McCabe and l.. J. Rodell.
In consultation with the Navajo
Tribal Chairman, the Executive
Secretary and the NF PI Board, the
following recommendations were
made:
1--continue present c ontrac ct
log-hauling, individuals would not
be replaced.
2--purchase 1 log truck to be
used as basis for standardizing
truck rates, maintenance costs and
for training truck drivers and op-
orators.
3--employ truck supervisor
trainer. Have him instruct in truck

operation, maintenance and record
keeping to contract-owners.
4--specify types of trucks to be
used in operation. Present trucks
will not return profit to owners.
5--recommend not more than 3
trucks to each contract-o wner.
This will spread opportunities and
responsibilities to more Navajo
owners.
6--arrange for loans through
Tribal funds for contractors to
purchase trucks.
After study of the recommen-
dations, the Board passed a reso-
luton authorizing the General
Manager to purCha Sc a trucks and
S trailers from the lowest bidders,
and use these to train Navaios in
the business of contract log haul
ing.
This equipment will be used to
train and to haul at the same time.
While they are used as school for
the trainees, the NFPI will put them
to good use moving logs from the
cutting areas to the sawrnill. There
is already some 4 million board
feet of cut timber on the ground,
waiting for transportation to Navajo
and the new sawrnill for the OPEN
ing day of operation.
Leigh Hubbard, Secretaryof the
Board, stated the need for more
Navajo personnel, with proper
trucks, to enter into the contract
log hauling business with the Nav
ajo Tribe. If you are interested,
contact Howard Fourmentain, Log
ging Superintendent, at Sawnill,
Arizona for complete information.
Navajos are also neededto enter
the training classes to be conduc-
ted by the Navajo Forest Products
Industry.

make it large enough for 1000
children. There will be dormitor-

and new houses for employees.

For the Fiscal Year 1862, $773:
600 had been appropriated for the
needs of 28,70o Navajo boys and
girls who attend school. OF that
sum, $623, 900 was spent in the first
issue of clothing.
Seeing the expected need for the
funds, the Navajo Tribal Council

Steve De Pass another Negro
artist is on the Freddies Cafe bill
with Gregory.
Dick Gregory is just getting
started on what may be one of the
more significant careers in Amer
lean show business.
In the past, the only kind Of Ne
gro comedy accepted by whites has
been at the Amos n Andy level,
where the colored man is pictured
as an ignorant laughing buffoon.
What makes Gregory refreshing is
not only that he feels secure
enough to joke about the trials
and triumphs of his own race, but
that he can laugh, in a sort Of
brotherhood of humor with white
men about their own problems.
Gregory's emergence suggests that
there may be a relaxation in the
longstanding, well meant but
dreary taboo against racial" hu-
NOR.
Gregorys humor is not exclu-
sively racial, either. His program
ming is nicely balanced and clever
Including Freddies, Dick Greg
DRY has dates lined up at San Fran
cisco's hungry /, Cincinnati's Surf
Club and also the Blue Angel in
New York.
In a world where singers are al
ways being classified by the type
of song they sing, such as jazz,
folk or pop, a new singer has APP
peared who does not fit any Of the
classificationS available. For in
stead Of just singing standards,
jazz tunes or folk songs, Steve De
Pass creates songs as he sings
them. He has the unique ability to
transpose instantly any subject
matter into song in perfect meter
and rhyme.
Steve De Pass was born in
Queens, New York, but almost |
Immediately moved to Kingston,
Jamaica because Of his mothers
health. Here he learned the songs
and styles of the natives. His
mother, who also sang impromptu |
verse was his inspiration and they |
would often hold entire conversa-

each other.
Steve De Pass Is not only pop
ular for his impromptu verse, but |
for his singing ability in Spanish, |
