There Are $50
Children Needing
Adaptive Homes
social orphans

MinneSota's social orphans
need homes.
For the past several years, the
states child welfare agencies have
become increasingly concerned
over the growing number Of min
ority race children who need adop-
tive homes, but for whom such
homes are not available. At pres
ent 358 non-white children are
waiting for homes: $50 Of these
are Negro youngsters.
Most of the difficulty in finding
homes for these boys and girls,
child welfare agency officials be-
lieve, results from two factors: 1.
public lack of knowledge about
their availability; 2. public lack of
understanding of the adaptive pro-
cess.
To overcome these two problems
and to hasten the acceptance Of
minority race children into adop-
tive homes, Parents-to-Adopt-Min-
ority-Youngsters-Project (PAMY)
has been set up. 1t is sponsored
by all Minnesota adoption agen-
cies, the Minnesota Department Of
Public Welfare, all 81 county well
fare departments, the st. Paul and
Minneapolis Urban Leagues, and
the Community Welfare Councils
Of Hennepin County and st. Paul.
PAMY is financed through funds
from the US. Children's Bureau
and the Ripley Memorial Founda-
ton, Inc.
Negro children needing homes
range in age from infancy to adol-
escence. Now living in boarding
homes under child welfare agency
supervision, they are normal,
healthy children who could bring
real joy to adaptive parents.
PAMY does not actually place
children in adoption. Instead, it
refers interested couples to ap-
propriate agencies. Couples wish
ing to adopt a minority race child
are urged to contact Harriet
Fricke, PAMY coordinator, 5th
floor, Centennial Bldg st. Paul.

. A novel variation of pay tele-
vision" is expected to be available
to Africans in Northern Rhodesia
by the end of the year.
The plan will enable Africans to
buy television sets in syndicates
or groups and dealers will get their
money back by charging an admis-
sion fee to anyone who wants to
view. 1t is anticipated that this
market will be larger than the
sale of sets to individual Africans,
since many could not afford them.
The idea somewhat resembles the
still controversial pay television
plan in the US, with the major
difference being that Americans
would own their own sets but pay
for special programs on a sub
scription basis.

THIS NJ THAT
By Hazel Underwood
The Will,


Wherevers will there's a way my lad
If they will have the strength to serve;
But the goal is not reached in a day, my lad
And the winning takes patience and nerve
It's long long way and hard, hard road
And lifetime is hardly enough:
But you'll win if you stick
To the roadway you pick
And your heart is the right kind of stuff.
Oh, a bit Of song will help my lad,
And grin will ease many a pain
The coward goes down with yelp my lad
Get up and go at them again.
It's long long way and hard, hard road
To do the thing you're longing to do
And the key to the game
Is stick to your aim,
And courage will carry you through.
Aye, many path leads out my lad,
From the road to the thing you want,
And they're pleasant to travel doubt my Lad,
And it's hard to know that you can't.
It's long, long way and hard, hard road
And you haven't the time to rest:
So pick up your load
And stick to your road;
You will win: if you give it your best.

mess of doing the family washing
was begun.
BY this time, the kitchen was
steaming hot and you had to keep
the fire in the stove going until
you had the washing ready to hang
on the line, outdoors. But first,
you stood over the hot stove and
moved the clothes around in the
boiler that scalded them clean
and white.
Enough water had to be carried
to rinse them several times. Don't
grieve for those mothers because
they were happy that they did not
have to wash clothes as others
did, by going to the waters edge
and beating them clean, as they
had read in books about women in
other lands.
Today's bride picks up her vac
cuum cleaner and runs it over the
rugs and carpeting in a few min
utes time.
When Mother was a bride, do
ing the weekly cleaning was a big
job. She took the broom, swept
the carpets and had to wait for
the dust to settle before she
could dust the furniture.
Very few of today's children get
honor badges, ribbons, etc, for
regular attendance in their Sunday
school classes, even though today's
bride has only to get the car out
and drive them there.
When Mother was young, with
her husband and children walking
beside them they walked three
miles to church every Sunday so
their children could attend the
Sunday school class. Her children
went by themselves as soon as
they were old enough to know the
way, but Mother and sometimes
Father always came to the morn
ing services to walk home with
the children.
Today's brides and yesterdays
brides are sisters under the skin.
The vast majority of them have
one interest in common. that of
making their homes a happy place
for their husbands and children to
come home to.
Each generation has its improve
ments, but any bride can improve
herself in any generation.
Many of today's brides are wage
earners and they deserve a great
deal of credit because they have
two jobs. They work all day in
their place of business and when
they get home they work some
more To their credit, quite a few
of the husbands help their wives
so when the days work is finished
both the husband and wife sit
down and relax while reading or
watching their favorite television
programs.
When Mother was a bride,
very few women worked outside
Of their homes. II they kept up
with their work they had a full
days job every day, at home. But
they were happy and content as
are most Of the brides Of today.

There is a law or Police Regulation whereby vehicles parked or

1t is being urged that the Police Department station an officer
at the crossing of Market and Company streets in Christiansted, dur
ing the hours when the children who attend ST. Marys or ST. Johns

The srangest thing is that an officer is usually stationed at
the point where there is a stop light on Market and King Streets,
directing traffic, while the little ones are lodging and running for
their lives on the opposite corner--just a block away, where there is
no traffic light.

The Committee was made up of members from both towns. Tn.
program was so arranged that there were activities in each town
without conflict. There was but ONE queen for the Island. The con,
testants were chosen from all over the Island. The only require,
ments were that the contestants must be unmarried and within an
age group. There was always a splendid cross section.
