three times, and just about
every other office the post has.
A retired mail carrier and vet
eran of World War I, Fassett is
an inspiration to the younger &C

accord the legion and other vet

preferred treatment that veterans

Being active for the past 81

it has given me a sense of achieve

Marty Asks Board
To Expand Surplus
Food Distribution

The Minneapolis Board of Public
Welfare was asked to expand the
present surplus foods distribution
program by Fred c. Marty, ALL
CIO Community Services repre-
sentative and former director of
the Boards distribution program.
In a letter to Mayor Naftalin,
President of the Board of Public
Welfare, Marty said, Il believe that
the present program can be ex-
panded to include low income peo-
pie without an appreciable in
creased cost to the City of Min
neapolis".
In his letter to the Board he
asked that the Board of Public
Welfare call a public hearing on
the question of expansion of the
surplus foods program.
In a report to the Board of Pub
lie Welfare Marty said, THE pres
ent program fails to cover any
thing but relief recipients and
should be expanded to include
those families who may be receiv-
ing only 500 to $50 a week I'M
employment compensation, and re-
tired persons who have to man.
age on small pensions and social
security income. Marty pointed out
that Minneapolis could adopt the
recommended State eligibility lev
els for the marginal groups and
could expand the present work re-
lief and rehabilitation program to
handle the increased applications
for this food.
Il see no reason why we could
not use the services of a respOn-
sible voluntary organization to as
sist in processing the paper work
needed for the expansion Of this
program such as is now being used
in Anoka County where the Women
of Zion assist in the distribution
program, he said.

had failed to recognize the growing
significance that nationalism had
for increasing numbers of Africans.
The challenge of nationalism would
not be evaded by churchmen han
kering after some form of neo-
colonialism.
I'm the coming years the Church
In Africa will have to recognize
African nationalism for the power
full, revolutionary moral force that
it is, with its double emphasis on
liberation and on human dignity.
Let us make no mistake, national
ism has come to stay in Africa.

Radical Rethinl1ing"
TT is imperative and urgent that
the Church now realizes that the
colonial era is ending in Africa. The
missionary policy and strategy
which was effective in colonial days
is rapidly becoming outmoded.
Unless the Church missionary
societies and missionaries recognize
this they will all become increas-
ingly paralyzed and confused in
the new Africa" It was ridiculous
to attempt to continue relation
ships between the Church in Brit
ain and the Church in Africa as if
vast African territories were still
being administered from London,
Paris, and Brussels.
The times called for a radical
rethinking of missionary strategy.
But there was still an urgent need
of men and women in almost every
walk of life who would be prepared
to give a limited period of five
years to Africa.
mot Impressed"
ut is no longer sufficient for
men and women from overseas to
be willing to work for Africans.
They must be prepared to work
with them and, if necessary, under
them =.
white church people everywhere
need to learn that the peoples of
Africa are no longer greatly i'm
pressed by words, even Christian
words. Now they watch the auth
ors of such words closely to see if
they match their words with deeds.
1.-THE unpleasant truth is that
the Church in Africa has been far
too content to reproduce the social
pattern of secular society in its
own life.
mot that the Church in Africa
is the only Church that has been
guilty of this particular betrayal
of the Gospel. The Church every
where, as much in these islands as
anywhere in the world, is contin-
ually exposed to the temptations
of conforming to the pattern of the
society in which it is set"
