 The Egyptians used beer in their daily diets, and the oldest medical document in existence lists 100 prescriptions calling for beer. An cient Greeks, the Romans, North ern Europeans and the hardy, bold Vikings-All these peoples brewed and drank beer. Many Danes still breakfast on soup of bread, milk and beer.
 Brewing was done at early-day monasterieS wh ere the friars served the beverage to the pilgrims and the poor, as we'll as being all loted certain amount for their own use.

When. as a child, we stayed with our Prussian grandfather and Ger man grandmother in Wisconsin, we were always given small glass ot beer with our dinner. We accepted it as a normal part of the meal be- cause it was served in most homes in that part of the country, which had a population of predominately Germanic people.
 At that time, or during the lrl- tervening years, we never gave thought to the process of making beer. We never wondered how long it had been used as a beverage nor who first began brewing it.
 It was not until we made tour of the Olympia Brewing Company plant at Olympia, Washington a few weeks ago that we realized that brewing beer is an art that dates back many centuries.
 Archeologists date the begin ming of beer brewing somewhere between 5000 and 5000 B. c. A Bab- ylonian tablet revealed the first known written record of beer, which was brewed by women. High priestesses of that long-ago culture, they used special brews in their religious ceremonies.

KILLERS OF THE DREAM, by

In this brilliant and moving
work, Lillian Smith recreates the
southern experience" She does
this in order to help her fellow
southerners, and indeed all men
to understand the forces that have
led us to "kill the dream" of a
democracy in which equality, jus
tice and liberty were true terms
and not the playthings they have
become.
Miss Smith illustrates the work
with a description of her own
growth, of the influences of her
childhood in small u h e n
town, the terrible and poignant
polyphony of taboos, manners and
exploitation that led to white SUI
rremacy. Southerners had been
degraded by the Civil War of
everything except their whiteness.

not building a private bomb shell

ject to his conclusion that God is
on His side. I myself am in favor

Please tell DR.. Anderson that the

He is on my side in this.
