kHlAsII,ss'!Ix I LYING;
THE THREE WREATHS

It's Memorial Day, 1868. On
May 80 each year we remem-
Der with gratitude those who
loved their country to the death.
Said a chaplain to a wounded
English soldier who was about to
leave the hospital: ''You have
been hurt, SIR"
Eyes, sir but thank God, |
am alive. am going home with
out my right hand, but my
mother will be glad to have
what is left of me-"
''Shall | write to her for
you," inquired the chaplain,
"since you have lost your right
hand2"
The soldier looked up quickly.
81 did not lose my right hand,
sir; gave it."
Life was not lost; twas given.
Life was not lost; it was in
vested : In our freedom.
In memory of these brave men
we would place on their graves
today three wreaths.
First would be the Wreath of
Gratitude. They did something
for us. They helped us secure
and maintain our national indep-
endence. They made 1t possible
for us to continue to enjoy our
basic freedoms freedom of
speech, freedom of worship,
freedom to hold property, free
dom from punishment without
trial by jury. BY these freed
oms we live, for them we thank
God and our fallen comrades.
Upon their graves today we
would also place the Wreath of
Prayer. Not indeed that we
should pray for them. The
wreath would rather remind us
to pray for ourselves that we
may preserve the liberties they
purchased for us at the cost of
blood. We will prayfor our lead
ers of state, for the parents and
children of our nation. We will
pray to be noble of character
and deserving of the freedoms
they purchased for us.
The Wreath of Dedication we
would also lay upon their
graves. We would translate ap-
preciation into action, prayer
into practice. BY life and by
death they have made their
lasting contribution. This is
our day of opportunity to es-
pouse a cause worth living for,
worth dying for.
Honored dead, accept our
gratitude and count on our ded-
icationl

little work between Christmas and New Year. And on.
these occasions their cup of enjoyment fills to the brim.
For several weeks preceding Christmas they are busted
with preparations for their festivities. Indeed their toll
through the whole year is cheered by their anticipation
Of Holiday happiness. For these festivities, all there is Of
turban, calico, ribbon, geegaw and trinket, among them,
is reserved to adorn their persons. Dancing is their only
festive resource.
The laborers on each estate elect their Queen and

NAACP Enters
Case For Discharged
HoSpifoI Orderly

The Minneapolis chapter OF
NAACP, will oppose the releasing
of Robert Hickman, 1924 Bird Av,
S., Minneapolis bedside orderly at
General hospital when the appeal
which Hickman has made comes
before the Civil Service Commits
sion.
Hickman was given notice of
termination on July IL, that his
release would become effective
July 20, about 30 days before he
could qualify for full civil service
status.
In reporting the case to NAACP,
Hickman stated that he had
worked at the bedside orderly job
nearly twelve months on sixty day
permit basis. After the first of
January, 1868, he was put on the
regular employee list to qualify
under the six months probationary
rule.
When the case was related to
NAACP, it was reported to the
Labor and Industry committee of
which Rev. Lowell Johnson is chair
man. After some investigation and
discussion on two occasions with
the hospital supervisory personnel
by Curtis c. Chivers branch presi-
dent and Rev. Lowell Johnson, it
was felt that the only alternative
was an appeal to the Civil Service
Commission.
Hickman filed an appeal on July
%. The case will be heard before
the commission on August 22, with
Jim Wills, NAACP legal redress
committee appearing in behalf of
Mr.. Hickman.
