LIFE GOES ON


Some time ago while strolling down
A street l chanced to see
Some workmen tearing down house
Brought memories back to me.
l knew the folks who once had dwelled
Within this old house, had
When young, played with their children and
This picture made sad
Today, travelled once again
My eyes beheld treat,
! saw a new home standing there
Upon this very street.
saw a mother peering from
A window, as on guard
She watched her children romp and play
Outside in the front yard.
Thus, history repeats itself,
life passes in review
An old house gone, new one built
To start its world anew
Then walking home, my heart was glad,
Was void of any tears
May this new house be filled with Joys
throughout the coming years.

The young girl lies bleeding
on the sidewalk of Birmingham

the police authorities, and, God
help them, many editors and
columnists around the country
do not wipe away the blood
from her face, but instead shake
her by the shoulders and de-
mand an answer: "Why did you
disturb us by getting beaten and
bloody?"
Thus we have seen a reversal

he is reflecting the attitude Of
a considerable segment of the
population as illustrated by the
Gallup Poll. In areas that are

In fact we often look disdain-

cliches of those who like to take

This is not difficult attitude

would emerge with Stevenson as
spokesman? Many people were
worried. Would we end up apolog-
izing to the world for our admitted
shortcomings - segregation in the
South? Religious bias? More tail
fins, less culture? Hunger in West
Virginia?
Or would we pretend these weak
nesses did not exist and, in the
recent tradition, act as II this were
the best Of all possible worlds?
Fortunately Stevenson avoided
all the pit falls. He speaks as the
representative Of a nation that has
slumbered, but Ii now awakening.
GROANS FROM GROMYKO-
The word that comes back here
from the U.N. is that Soviet For
eign Minister Gromyko was as

years the world heard an Amer
lean spokesman refuse to be in
undated by implied threats Of
war, or to accept the notion that
the Communists have a patent on
virtue
ITO use the unhappy state Of
affairs in the Congo as an excuse
for such insensate attacks on the
8 Secretary General" Stevenson
said Of Gromyko's remarks, COM
pounds the offense to the dignity
Of this body and to the very sur
vival Of the United Nations as an
effective instrument for peace and
progress.
The Soviet Union demands the
resignation Of the Secretary Gen.
eral. We win oppose this demand
with all our strength" Stevenson
said. I'VE must not allow the
United Nations to be demeaned by
vicious attack on its most dedicat-
ed servant"

that we mean business? Or can
we now finish with the hot words
