Had you stooped to fasten th*

wouldn't be In the hospital now.
You saw him running and if you

him to tie hla shoe or tied it

He was so tiny to be running.
You would gladly have done it
for him, but you just didn’t think!
You could have helped some on*

the opportunity paae because you
were looking for a big Job to do.
You knew your neighbor would
like to attend the church of her

by her church on th* way to
yours, yet you didn't thing of her
until you had passed her church.
She is alone and has no car.
You Just forgot!
When your friend* were In

you could have said, “no one
was sure It was the truth” and
that would have nuulo them

again, But you didn't.

There are a great many shut

they could have letters written to
their loved ones. That would be a

thought of doing that?

Then there are the homes for
the aged I know they would ap
preciate having various groups
help mend and darn sox and other
articles of clothing for the men
and women who no longer can see
to use a needle and thread. Thia
would be a big help to them and
you would be going something
very worth while.
• • *
You wonder why your friends
can afford to buy this or that.
They save a little money each pay
day and it soon amounts to a big
sum. You just don't see how they
can save because you have not
acquired the habit of saving a
certain amount each pay day.
( You. too. can do it. Go to the
bank each pay day If you only
there becomes a good habit. Try
It!
Yea, you, too, can help!

He was going to be all that a

No one should be kinder or

A friend who was troubled and

Who'd be glad of a life, and who
needed it too;
On him he would call and see
what he could do, Tomorrow.

"Bureaucrat!"
THE LOWDOWN
By Masco Young
New York— (ANP)— In the
world of bright light* the most
exciting news of the week and
perhaps the year is originating
in Philadelphia where an inter
racial musical comedy starring
Lena Home and white actor
Ricardo Montalban bowed at the
historic Shubert Theatre.
A calypso comedy sprinkled
with some of the season's most
clever music, "Jamaica” is an ex
citing love story which finds the
great I-ena pitched in a turbulent
romantic battle with Ricardo, who
plays the part of a happy and
carefree fisherman. Already in
ternationally known as a top art
ist on the nitery circuit, Miss
Horne literally throws every ounce
of her unquestionable talent into
her vocalizing chores, effectively
winning the audience applause by
singing three of the first four
numbers of the show.
Playing the part of the only
dressmaker on the Pigeon Is
land*. Lena’s dally dream I* to
transfer her designing profes
sion to another, bigger and rich
er island, Manhattan, (New
York City.)
Judging from audience reaction.
Lena's best performance comes
when she delivers the charactisti
cally sultry “Take It Slow Joe"
number. Employing the manners
and expressions she has learned
through the years of cafe work.
Miss Home. In th* style of a typi
cal bistro chanteuse, puts consid
erable emotion and telling facial
expression in her songs.
While "Jamaica" Is easily a top
drawer stage production, In addi
tion to being Lena Home's first
Broadway starring vehicle, the
spectator couldn't help but think
that it's recognition of the calyp
so music and dance craze has
come a bit too late —inasmuch as
calypso Is a dying fad. But with
the principal roles of "Jamaica"
in the capable hands of two vet
erans like Lena Horne and Ricardo
Montalban it is probably that a
successful Broadway run is forth
coming. despite the cooling nation
al interest in calypso.

Chicago—(ANP)—The 41st annual convention of the

RIAD THE WANT ADS
tion, was turned down by the
union's executive council. The
southern contingent pleaded that
further discussion should be had
on the merging, that while they
believed integration possible, the
51,000-member federation was
harming itself by setting a dead
line for the merger.
The Jan. 1 date for merger was
set at the organization's 1956
December 1, 1.855 members of the
Atlanta local withdrew in pro
test against the ultimatum. At
last week’s convention, however,
the executive council, though giv
ing thoughtful consideration to
the southern contingent's appeal,
remained adamant in the stand
taken at its 40th convention.
Earlier In the week, at a
"Democratic Human Relations"
luncheon session, the teachers lis
tened to an address by Edwin C.
Berry, executive director of the
Chicago Urban League, who,
among other things, declared that
Chicago is “the most segregated
city, residentially speaking,” In
the nation. He said that "this
causes us to have segregation in
all the institutions within the
segregated areas: churches,
schools, playgrounds and busi
nesses.”
Here'* How It Works
“Here is how it works,” Berry
said. "When we deny a man a
job for which he is qualified, we
keep that man so poor he cannot
buy the goods the rest of us pro
duce. We force him to take his
family to live in the slums. By
products of unemployment dis
crimination are poverty, disease,
crime, delinquency and personal
ity disintegration."
"We must learn and understand
the importance of developing a
society of brotherhood, and we
must become interracitlly mature
and sophisticated. This means
simply learning to apply the same
criteria to every individual.”
Conclave Theme Based On
Brotherhood
The convention, operating under
the theme of "Brotherhood." pass

New York Teachers guild, which
said:
