HIS EXAMPLE
There are little eyes upon you, and they’re watching night and day
There are little ears that quickly take in every word you say;
There are little hands all eager to do everything you do;
And a little boy who's dreaming of the day he’ll be like you.
You’re the little fellow’s idol; you’re the wisest of the wise;
In his little mind, about you no suspicions ever rise;
He believes in you devoutly, holds that all you say and do,
He will say and do, in your way, when he is grown up like you.
There’s a wide-eyed little fellow, who believes you're always right
And his ears are always open, and he watches day and night;
You are setting an example, every day in all you do.
For the little boy who’s waiting to grow up to be like you.

Now that you are grown you can
still tell him how much his ex
ample of living has meant to you.
If possible, be sure and see him
on his day. He is pleased to ac
cept all of the attention he re
ceives on his day even though
he says it isn’t at all necessary.
You know he has worked hard
to provide all of the necessities
and as many of the luxuries as he
possibly could, so be sure and mail
a card, a gift or at least write a
letter and tell him you just want
him to know you have appreciated
him and wish him a happy Father’s
Day.
Hearing from you whether in

not ask for much but is greatly
pleased to be remembered. Watch
his face as he is handed a gift
or anything from any of his chil

happy he is.
He will also be thinking of his
Father and thanking him for his
loving kindness in raising him as
he did. He vowed to raise his
children in like manner and now
feels happy to know he is not
forgotten on his day.

ACLU Raps
Housing Bias
New York (ANP) The need
for State and local governments to
take legal action against discrim
ination in the sale of rental of
private housing on grounds of race,
creed, color, national origin or
political affiliation was urged this
week by the American Civil Liber
ties Union.
Patrick Murphy Malin, ACLU
executive director, released the
text of a new policy statement ap
proved by the Union’s Board of
Directors covering discrimination
in both public and private housing.
Major emphasis in the state
ment was placed on private hous
ing discrimination, Malin noted, be
cause more and more legislatures
are coming to grips with this part
of the housing problem. "It is our
hope,” Malin said, "that the Un
ion's views will help legislators as
/1
E
they debate this suggestion."
Aware that various States and
cities will have different approach
es to legislation covering private
housing discrimination, the ACLU
said that neither its national office
nor any of its State affiliates need
oppose or refrain from supporting
such legislation merely because it
contains exceptions to the general
prohibition of discrimination. The
ACLU will take action on specific
legislative proposals as they arise,
the statement said.
In making the policy statement
public, Malin also pointed out that
the Union's established opposition
to discrimination on political
grounds in the public housing field
has now been extended to the
private housing field. "The Union,”
he said, "is thus again urging the
application of a fundamental civil
liberty principle, that every person
should be treated on the basis of
his individual worth and not on
the basis of any group classifica
tion.
GEORGIA SHERIFF SECRETS
NEGRO ALIBI AND VICTIM
OF ATTACK FREE HIM
Quitman, Ga. (ANP) —While an
armed posse of some 500 persons
searched the back roads and
swamps for him, Jesse Graham,
Jr. surrendered to Sheriff R. W.
Jones who had asked Graham's
aunt to have the man contact him.
Graham was secreted to Thom
asville, Ga., 45 miles from here,
by Sheriff Jones to prevent recur
rence of what had happened in
Poplarville, Miss.
However, reporters spot-check
ing the posse denoted a different
mood from that of the masked
and armed men in Mississippi. In
fact, many of the posse wanted
to "prevent a lynching.”
Also, Graham's employer vouch
ed to the sheriff’s office for the
time element, stating clearly that
the man was working in his gar
age at the time of the attack.
