Offended by the satirical

Of a song entitled Damn,

Unfinished Business

Addressing Congress on
Novemb Der 81, President
johnson said: &c. no memo
rial Grafton or eulogy could
more eloquently honor Presi-
dent Kennedy's memory
than the earliest possible
passage Of the civil rights bill
for which he fought so long"
A massive expression Of
public support now might
make this happen.
Let us act now. to honor q
great American and to reaf-
firm for ourselves and the
world our faith in the basic
democratic values on which
Americas greatness is
founded.
Leon Reinstein.
The late President Kenne-
dy himself might consider
the remaining Of countless
public parks and buildings
throughout the country,
admirable as the intent
might be, as a hollow gesture
compared to what might be
done.
The most genuine way we
could honor him, and per-
haps the way he would like
best, Is to take a real and
active interest in his unfin-
ished political program and,
along with President john
son, pick up the Kennedy
legislative torch and do what
we can to carry it to victory.
This not only includes the
high-priority civil rights bill,
but other measures close to
Mr.. Kennedy's heart such as
tax reduction, medicare, aid
to education and foreign aid.
AS regards this latter, there
is a unique and effective
form of foreign aid that was
especially close to President
Kennedy's heart. Not Yankee
dollars, but that noble
knight in armor crusade
the Peace Corps. I think the
late President would be more
pleased could he know that
one young person of charac-
ter entered the Peace Corps
as a tribute to his memory
than to have a whole flock OF
public parks renamed for
him. Bill DOn0ghue.

Of many colors met at the
appointed place when the
sign was in the sky. They
gathered around the small
black altar where a tiny flame
was burning. AS the mobiles
chanted the fire rose throb-
bling as If it were beating out
a musical tune. Then 1t was
that Artaban said to those
who had Travelled far at his
call: I'VE worship not the
fire, but Him Of whom 1t Is
the chosen symbol, because 1t
is the purest Of all created
things. 1t speaks to Us Of
One who Is the light and
truth"
In q noble home, inscribed
in letters of gold above the
warmth and radiance Of the
open fire. is this saying Of
Jesus. preserved by Origen,
He who Is near me is near
the fire!" In the churches Of
Christendom flaming wicks
speak a universal language,
the speech Of the souls
highest and deepest moods.
In the witchery Of a lighted
candle there Is q mystic
touch that makes all man.
kind kin and the centuries
one. In the waxen lure Of
candlelight each taper Is a
burning bush out Of which a
tongue Of fire utters winged
words.
And now may it be that
multitudes who gaze at the
fire blazing at the tomb Of
the martyred young Presi-
dent. may see in that ever
living flame an inspiring
symbol, speaking Of the light
which never was on land or
sea, the perpetual light
which the blastS NJ death
cannot extinguish.
Such was the lamp lighted
long. long ago in Oxfordtown
when Bishop Latimer, and
his comrade, Ridley. met q
tortured death inflicted by
twisted minds who charged
them with denying the faith
which they really exemph-
fled. Stepping into the char
lot Of fire which bore them
to their reward. as the
flames like fiery rapiers
stabbed their mortal life, the
Bishop called out: BE Of
good cheer Master Ridley:
play the man, by Gods grace
we shall this day light such a
candle in England that shall
never be put out" And as
they thus finished their
course, and kept the faith,
even on their graves o per-
petual light was lit.
And so, history has this to
say:
Ldtimer's light shall neuer
90 out
HoweUer the minds may bIotD
it about.
Ldtimer's light Is here to
stay
Till the trump OF a coming
judgment day.
And Of the light on many,
many a grave at Arlington,
and under all skies, is it
true:
Their names
Shall kindIe many q heart
to equal flame.
The fire they kindled shah
burn on and on
Til all the darkness OF the
lands be gone.

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
A Perpetual Light
By DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS

Always q cemetery Is
shrouded In the darkness Of
separation and farewell. The
thing for which every grave
utters a poignant CRY is light.
When the ground opens to
receive a tenant Of clay all
lights seem extinguished. A
cemetery Is q city Of the
dreadful night, though when
dust Is committed to dust
bereaved hearts may listen to
the triumphant assertion,
He hath brought life and
immortality to light" The
one emblem most fitting to
proclaim a faith that defies
physical death is a flame
that the fiercest assaults Of
the elements cannot put out.
Such a symbol has been ig-
nited in stored Arlington,
the bivouac of the Nations
defenders who have marched
through the waiting portal
men call death. Until now no
flame has stabbed the dark
ness there. Now perpetual
fire leaps from q new-made
grave. But the light on one
grave but calls attention to
the flame which faith sets
up on every grave marked by
the white sacramental stones
which stretch endlessly
across that vast camping
ground Of the valiant who
threw their mortal bodies be-
tween their loved land and
those who lifted a sword
against her.
Now for those who have
eyes to see every grassy
mound is aflame as graves
glow like the twinkling stars
when the night deScends. For
on this sacred soil, which
belongs to all America. one
family in their unutterable
grief, shared by the Republic
and the world, have said,
Let there be light, and there
was light"
AS it blazes anywhere we
are reminded that fire is a
prime factor in mans climb
from the cave to the cathe-
dral. 1t Is q primitive and
elemental thing-a bit Of the
red heart Of nature laid bare.
1t is almost impossible to
imagine any notable progress
at all without discovery of the
means Of producing fire at
will. Out Of fire came the
primary arts. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that from the
time man grasped the secret
of producing fire by friction,
the history Of the race can
be epitomized as B. F. and A.
F. Before Fire and After
Fire.! No wonder mythology
exalted Prometheus, the god
who brought the suns fire to
earth.
John Oxingham bids US
kneel when we light a fire as
If taking q sacrament, and
with thankfulness, for this
sweet grace Of warmth and
life" AS a matter Of fact,
that Is exactly what mankind
has done from the dim dawn
Of history. Fire has been the
sign and seal Of the human
search for the unseen and
eternal. Among many people
there has been found this
veneration for fire. In the
religion Of ZoroaSter the
common name for priests
means literally belonging to
the fire" Elijah's challenge,
"the God that answers by
fire, let him be God" has
found an answering echo
from universal seekers after
God. Fire is a fitting symbol
of the deathless verities
which death can no more af-
feet than a sword can sever
a sunbeam.

market, ready for anything that was fun
and different from wartime drab. Every
body went on color spree. Helping the
spree was the fact that dyes had now
been perfected SO that they had much
more clarity, depth and performance.
The FIRST big fashion colors that were
wildly promoted and sold on a large
scale after the war were cerise, magenta
and bright scarlet. More recent color

It's only very recently that bright coIors

to the neutral shades.
