looked up and saw Mae getting
out of her car with a pail and
some packages. She had come to
share Ellen's happiness in getting
ready for her mother. She insisted
on getting her pail ready and
started from the other end of the
porch cleaning the woodwork, the
furniture and windows and while
working) they talked and laughed
until the porch was soon finished.
Ellen said, Come inside and we
will have a little lunch" To her
very big surprise Mae opened up
a package and told Ellen she had
brought their lunch. Ellen told her
she surely would like to fix a lunch
but Mae said she had come to
help, not to make more work. The
two friends sat for sometime talk
ing and Ellen told Mae she didn't
realize how kind friends were I'M
til she found herself needing one.
Ellen had always been kind and
had always helped her friends in
any way she could and they told
her how much pleasure it gave
them to make life a little easier
for her, now.
Happiness, like perfume, cannot
be poured on others without get

Chicago minister went on trial
here last week as one of the first
of rs anti-segregationists to face
charges stemming from a demon
stration last Aug. %.
The Rev. Alan B. Anderson, 27,
completing his doctorate at the
University of Chicago, received
notice of his trial earlier in the
week and flew here from Chicago
Before leaving, he said:
Il am grateful that my case is
being called, and that the ques-
tons of law and enforcement rails
ed by our arrests can be raised in
the courts"
THE newspapers are filled with
stories on the military struggle
against communism in Cuba, but
in this country we must not forget
the Importance of our moral strug-
GLE"
Anderson was with a 75-member
interreligious delegation from Chi
cago and New York City arrested
while praying in front of the Al
bany city hall. He has been charg-

HOW DO YOU SHARE?

Not long ago few friends were
discussing the hard luck one of
their friends was having and the
thought occurred to one of them
that the group as a whole should
try to share a part of their burden
without letting Ellen D. realize it..
Ellen is a widow with a young
son ten years old. Her mother was
in a hospital and would have to
be there for some time. Ellen was
trying to arrange for someone to
take care of her son the days she
had to drive several miles to see
her mother.
So, one of the group suggested
that each one take the boy a day
a week and that would help Ellen
a great deal. The suggestion was
carried out and the friends who
kept Gerald really enjoyed having
him.
He had been well trained at
home and he seemed to realize his
mother needed his help so she
could go see his grandmother, and
he stayed with each Aunt" will
ingly.
Two or three other friends de-
cided they would take turns driv-
ing Ellen on the long trip to the
hospital, occasionally. They not
only made life much happier for
Ellen but found they really looked
forward to the day it was their
turn to take her. They found SO
many women in the hospital who
seemed cheered up to see them.
They tried to share their time
with as many as possible so Ellen
could talk with her Mother.
Later, one of the friends, Mae T,
called Ellen to see why she had
not called to tell her what time
to come for her to go to the hos
pital and "Oh, forgive me for not
telling you. I had a note from
Mother telling me to come and get
her the end Of the week as she
will be coming home.". Mae said,
what are you doing now?" Ellen
told her she was house cleaning
the front porch so her mother
could sit out there and enjoy the
sunshine. Mae said that would be
nice for her and said goodbye.
Ellen had cleaned one end Of the
porch and was washing the win
dow near the porch door when she

JFk WANTS ELECTRONIC SAFEGUARD AGAINST FIRING OF NUCIEAR HEADS

WASHINGTON AR = President Kennedy asked Congress yesterday to appropriate S23.3 million for an electronic lock to reinforce safe guards against accidental or un- authorized firing of nuc1e ar weapons
 The United States, it was learn ed, has informed it's European AL lies that such device has been developed
 The White House declined to 20 into any detail on =Kennedy's re- quest except to say in announcing 1t that the additional funds are required to procure devices for in stallation in certain deployed nu- clear weapons to prevent the pos slbillty of unauthorized use.
 The budget amendment. raises the estimate for Atomic Energy Commission operations in the year that began July to S2,388, ,588 GOO
 The Allies were told through the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- ton that the new electronic lock will broaden the margin of safety ln nuelear weapons control systems and strengthen the exercise of direct control over weapons by top commanders. US. officials said the development of increasingly secure control systems becomes more in- portant as the number of weapons increases.
