bers Of the community?
The speaker added: IF you are
in a group where derogatory re-
marks are made about racial min
critics, do you object or do you
remain silent 10 avoid mourning
the in will Of friends and associ-
ates."
Mr.. johnson told the audience
that if their individual answers
were negative they were not doing
all that each could do for better
human relations; that they were
not assuming the responsibility
every American should assume
Just attending a human relations
meeting will not excuse lack of
individual responsibility he stated.
American IdeOlogy Challenged
THE American ideology Of the
equality Of man, Mr.. johnson stat
ed ''and the dignity Of the indi-
vidual is being challenged now as
never before. If democracy is to
survive, it must have the support
Of not only governments, but Of re-
hgfous institutions, the schools and
the support Of the individual citi-
zens when the principles Of DEM
ocracy are maligned."
Euologized Martyred President
The internationally known pub
Usher eulogized President John F.
Kennedy and called him a Presi-
dent who spoke for the dumb,
and stood up for the downtrodden;
A President who walked roads Of
danger and risk for the poor and
the forgotten in the slums; who
loved social justice and cried out,
like the prophets Of old, for broth
erhood and peace; this man, this
young father, this great vision lies
dead - struck down, at the height
Of his powers, by hate, by intol-
erance, by bigotry. And his death,
good men Of good will all over
the world are reminding IN, raises
painful questions about American
public and private responsibility"

ents recognize their children as
trusts from God. They know that
some day they will have to answer
TO God for their children.
And so they take the responsdb-
dities of parenthood seriously.
They talk to their children about
God. They teach them Bible stor-
les, table prayers and bedtime
prayers. They enroll them in Sum
day School, parish school, Vaca-
tion Bible School. They sit with
them in church.
Yes, mothers help a lot" 1t is
wonderful when a mother through
her life walks with God. It Is even
more wonderful when she brings
her children with her.

Mr.. Johnson told the meeting
that too many people rely wholly
on organizations and groups to
advance the civil rights cause in
the US, in his address ON Com

composed of people and we will
not make any real progress in this
area (civil rights) until each one
of us becomes a Committee Of One
"a committee working day and
night 10 improve civil rights and
human relations in America"
Cites Lack Of Individual
Commitment
"One Of the great problems in
all areas of American life, the
speaker stated "is the lack of in
dividual commitment. Too many
people want to do things In groups
and committees. Too many people
are reluctant to take personal re-
sponsibility for unpopular decis-
bOns.
Not What We Say
Mr.. johnson added: Often
times, In human relations, it's not
what we say as individuals but
what we don't say. Oftentimes, it's
not what we do, but what we don't
do"
IT think all Of us would be sur
prised, Mr.. johnson said, TAT the
progress we could make If each in
dividual would assume RESPONSE
bility for himself and would take a
stand on the side of truth, morality
and democracy at all times"
Would You?
Mr.. johnson directed a number
of questions at his audience, stat
ing: IF you are asked to recon-
mend someone for a new job at
your company, would you recon-
mend a person without regard to
race, color or religion, or would
you recommend a person who
would be accepted without ques-
tion?

selves and our current attitudes
toward our fellow-men.
IF anyone in the nation Is to
feel the sting of ostracism, 1t
should be those who engage In the
foolish pastime of mounting hate
filled phrasings.
Life can be a cruel thing, but
even at its worst, 1t can teach us
the invaluable lesson that respect
for our fellow-men is a farLbetter
thing than prejudice"
The Argus, st. Louis: I'm the
light of the death of our President,
America must take another look
at our rising tide Of lawlessness
and moral bankruptcy; at our
wanton disregard of authority and
personal discipline Surely we
have had enough!
President Kennedy was a man
of immense conviction. He was a
President of extreme courage. No
President of the United States had
gone as far as he had in handling
the minority problem. Not only is
there civil rights bill reposing In
Congress, but Mr.. Kennedy opened
the White House for the first time
to all persons, regardless Of race
or station in life. He appointed
more Negroes to significant posi-
tions than any OF his predecessors.
In the matter Of foreign policy, the
Kennedy Administration was firm.
His presence in the White House
brought refreshing new look in
American politics"

groes have lost not only a Presi-
dent and a world leader, but a
friend - a real friend who cham
pioned the civil rights cause more
boldly and forthrightly than any
other President who ever occupied
the White House.
Kennedy was becoming known
as the civil rights President - so
much SO that he was losing part of
the South because of his strong
stand against Governors Barnett
and Wallace and his denunciation
Of racism and segregationists.
president Kennedy, the modern
day Bmancipator, died a martyr
as did Abraham Lincoln, the first
great Emancipator.
"The staying Of President Ken
nedy Is not the only evidence Of
our sick society. Six months ago,
the nation was shocked by the
sndper staying Of Medgar Evers,
NAACP field secretary in Mississ-
ippd, and last summer by the ldl-
ing Of four children by a bomb
placed in a Birmingham church.
President Kennedy, as did good
citizens and churchmen all over
the land, denounced the staying
Of Evers and the bomb deaths Of
the children but the sickness Of
hatred persisted A nation sick
enough to gun down a Medgar
Evers and to kin innocent little
Americans Is sick enough to as
sassinate q President as unbeliev-
able as 1t seems"
The Amsterdam News, New
York City: This Nation, under
God and John F.. Kennedy, has
progressed further In the past
three years toward the brother
hood Of man than It had during all
the years prior to the time John r.
Kennedy was sworn into office.

American people have no other

bring about the type Of world for

This Is Your Life" o
Program. Honors q
Mrs. Wreufho Maxwell


The annual This Is Your Life
Program" sponsored by the Usher
Board No. 2 Of st. Peters AME
Church, Of which Mrs. Lucille Nc
Adams, president, presented one
of their most beautiful and inter-
esting programs Of the year on
last Sunday, Nov. "a, when they
honored Mrs. Wreatha G. Maxwell,
long time member of st. Peters
Church, and a worker in the Youth
Department of st. Peters.
Mrs. Maxwell was formerly Di-
rector of Religious Education for
the church and a weekday teacher
for the Greater Minneapolis Coun-
Gil of Churches for 16 years.
Through her work in the Released
Time Program, which necessitated
her attendance at the Faribault
Summer School of Religion for
eight years.
The real success of a This Is
Your Life" program not only to
secure attendance of the many
friends and co-workers Of the sub
ject, but to keep the affair a secret.
Both Of these things were very
well done, for the most surprised
person in the whole church was
Mrs. Maxwell herself.
Mrs. Lucille McAdams, through
the help and inspiration Of Mrs.
Ida Mae Young, director of the
Nursery Department of the Church
School, were able to make the
many contacts through Mrs. Max
wells friend, Mrs. Betty Hale,
supervisor Of the Audio- Visual De-
partment for the Greater Minne-
apolis Council Of Churches.
AS a result OF their contacts,
about Is friends and former CO.
workers were present to honor her
for her 81 years Of service in the
city Of Minneapolis.
The Youth Work of st. Peters
Church, a work pretty close to her
heart, was represented by some
young women who are now heads
of families themselves and sending
their children TO her to be taught.
They were Mines. 10 Ann johnson,
Dorothy Ann Cunningham, Mar
lene Allen, and Vivian Patterson.
The Greater Minneapolis Council
of Churches was represented by
DR.. Earl Baumhofer, former direc-
tor of weekday work and present
director, Jerry Farenholtz and
daughter. Mrs. Baumhofer also was
present. The Weekday Released
Time program was represented by
the following teachers: Mr.. and
Mrs. Iver G. Hovland, Mildred
zurich and husband, Austin Dob
ratz, J. v. Sanderson, Bertha Mill,
Carmen Sandstrom, Gladys Soren-
son and Miss Marie Kjelaas. Also
Mrs. Marie Dixon, Mrs. Archam-
beau and husband.
F'aribault School Of Religion was
represented by DIR. and Mrs. Paul
Meter, pastor, Hamline Methodist
Church, st. Paul, and Misses VIII
ma and Eva Bly,. Mrs. Myrtle Mix
kelson, a friend, and Miss Ruth
Marshall director Of the Mime
apolis YWCA.
Mrs. Maxwell's husband, John
didn't cooperate too well, for he
complained of being sick and sent
her in a cab, but was the first to
appear TO bring greetings.
The pastor Of st. Peters Church,
Rev. Lovell johnson also brought
greetings.
Some presents and a nice cash
donation were given Mrs. Maxwell
In the Undercroft refreshments
were served and many old friends
who had not seen each other for
many years had a chance to chat
about old times.

'UNWANTED"

bAcSo ne" CdrcoESs
'UNWANTED"
Compared 10 high school grad
uates, dropouts suffer greater I'M
employment, take longer 10 find
jobs, get pooer jobs and earn less
money. Unframed and incompletely
educated, they are often under
employed, face the prospects of
lifetime of blind alley jobs, and
sometimes remain permanently I'M
employed, except for part-time and
odd jobs. They are unnecessary
and are unwanted in the work
force.
Negroes and other minority
group members are sometimes
arbitrarily excluded from many
training and employment oppor-
tunities. The inequality Of oppor-
tunity is seen in lower incomes
and poverty, poor housing and
slum neighbor4Toods and lower lev
els of education and skill. A study
in one Pennsylvania city makes a
point: Negro college graduates
earn only five cents an hour more
than Negroes with an elementary
school education, whereas Negro
college graduates earn seven cents
an hour less than white Protest
ants with only an elementary
school education.
Determinations strike even
deeper in a personal sense. Aware
of the barriers TO employment,
many minority group youngsters
are reluctant TO enroll in available
training courses. Thus when op-
portunities for us do in fact open
UP, we are unprepared with the
stills needed to be hired. In giving
up in the first place, we become
victims of a vicious circle, and
many of us lose our desire to i'm
prove our situation.
Another especially disadvant-
aged group are those who migrate
to the big cities from rural areas,
many of whom are Negroes and
dropouts. Unprepared for both city
life and work, we founder for
hong time and many of us never
really find ourselves.
Some of the dropouts, in mi
grants and minority youth might
possibly be marginally employable
regardless of the state of the econ
omy, but the premium automation
has put on training underscores
the urgency of reaching these
youngsters and motivating them
toward work and training. Studies
of drop-outs reveal that 10 per cent
have at least average intelligence
and are capable of completing high
school. From 6 to 13 per cent are
smart enough to do college work.
But we are victims of economic,
social, cultural and psychological
pressures which we have not been
able to cope with alone. We are re-
jecting situation that we feel has
rejected us.
The problem Of our nearly one
million unemployed youth is a for
midable one, but 1t may be rela-
lively minor in size compared to
what Is ahead Of us in the future.
There Is reason to question the
wisdom of a policy that urges
their return to the classroom be-
fore our schools have been streng-
thened sufficiently to attract them
and deal more effectively with
their special needs.
We have the wisdom and re-
sources to lick this problem. We
unlocked the secrets Of the atom
and are currently putting a man
into space. Surely we could come
up with a crash program" and
find the way to train and employ
our youth.

BY GAME TINE THE asphalt burners
had failed to thaw the field in an 1lth-

though, was grateful to shed his cowboy
rig and suit up. He wasn't used to the

high-heeled boots which Owner George
Marshall ordered him to wear. You're a
