Vocation Bible
Schools Important
BY Josie HoIIon1an

Vacation Bible school Is making
the days count for christian learn
ing and teaching. 1t is a summer
time educational program in our
community.
In towns and cities Vacation
Bible school is a part of an inter-
church program. Has your church
done its full share to reach the
boys and girls in the community?
Has it set up a planned organized
program? Is it properly stated?
Do you have enough material to
keep the children busy after they
have been reached? This Is
problem faced by many Of the
churches. The greatest problem is
people who can give their time
and service but hesitate for one
reason or another Perhaps be-
cause of the limited publicity or
the short period of time that has
been accorded, the vacation school
has had to take a back seat in our
every day training. 1t is equally
important as other programs since
it helps the growth of Christiani-
ty.
The issues that have been faced
recently by church and state about
using different forms of religious
worship or practice in our public
schools should serve as a cohesive
resolution of loyalty and duty for
the adults who inspire for better
living.
The state says no you cannot
practice religious beliefs in Public
Schools, therefore it is returned
to the homes, churches and com-
munity.
Now, Protestants, the import
ance Of your Sunday Schools, your
vacation Bible and all the other
seemingly smaller training pro-
grams begins to come forward. To
few Of the wise this has been
apparent for years but the majori-
ty, has not taken the time or has
been too lazy and left it to others.
Extra curricular teachers need
help too, in order to give their
best.
Not to bypass or forget the
other religious groups who have
the same or different problems as
we, but then they would be better
revelators of themselves.
The achievement Of good schools,
trained teachers and adequate
material will be the deciding fac
tor in whether a child in the fu-
ture belongs to secularism or Sec
tarianism.

CITY COUNCIL MOVES
TO FoRESTALL RACIAL
DEMONSTRATIONS IN

Los Angeles (ANP) - The Los
Angeles City Council last week
voted favorably on a motion by
Councilman Gilbert w. Lindsay to
request that the county Human
Relations Commissions be support
ed in sponsoring a conference to
avert the spread of racial tension
and violent demonstrations.
II feel this would greatly en-
hance the prestige of our city"
said Lindsay. This type (Birm-
ingham) Of demonstration is not
necessary as long as sensible peo-
pie can sit around a table and re-
solve their differences"
The resolution called for the city
and county to join in a leadership
program to be conducted by the
commission. The proposed confer
ence would bring together leader
of civil rights organizations, civic

CORE Move In"
Technique Has DC.
Apf. Owner Puzzled

washington, DC. (ANP) - The
owners Of an all-white apartment
here were in a quandary recently
after a Negro moved into the
building in a shrewd move engin-
eered by CORE to launch a dwell
in" campaign to end racial dis
elimination In the sale and rental
Of housing in the Washington area.
Occupying the $s7.5o-a-month
efficiency apartment" in the Mir
amar building owned by the CAT
ritz Company was Wadell Lindsay,
a bachelor. At last report, Lind
say had been entrenched in the
apartment for several days and
had passed through the lobby sew
eral times" without incident.
An official Of the Cafritz COM
pany said I'VE have decided not
to do anything about 1t at the
time being" To this, Julius Hob
son, CORES Southeastern region
al director, replied:
I'VE win be here and the only
way Mr.. Cafritz will get us out
is to go to court" The Cafritz
company has been a frequent tar
get Of CORE activity.
Lindsay obtained the keys and
access to the apartment in this
way. Charles @. Berger, a white
CORE member rented the fiat
and then cody left town for six
months after turning it over to
Lindsay.
Hobson said the move was "the
first Of several dwell-ins we plan"
(here).
Meanwhile, officials Of the Caf-
ritz company were left scratching
their heads over the outf1anlSing
move by CORE.

Observing that many people
now demonstrate against Negro
impatience, DR.. Schiotz said '"The
time for the practice Of patience is
tapering off for the Negro and is
setting in in earnest for the white

said. He suggested that the words
of the prophet, Amos, "You have
turned justice into poison" may be
applicable ITO us as a nation"
DR.. Schiotz said the whole body
Of The ALC's membership should
be concerned about "the dishonor
present events bring to our nation.
Communism makes hay out OF
our iniquity. The proclamation OF
our foreign missionaries is robbed
of much of its power. But God can
make the present evil serve for
good.
Before us lies the possibility
that our nation may be the first

that God is the Creator and Re.
