Last year at this time everything was moving along under its own power, but now its a different story. This is mainly do to the fact that there are certain people among us who falsely believe they are Intellectually and socialy su perior to the people in the com munity. For as nuclear as they are, as “far out” as they may seem, the reason for their existence re mains the same, which is love for and service to others. With malice towards none, and love towards all. This should be the creed that dictates our life. It seems like we have forgotten those little gems of wisdom. In our incredible, diabolic ego, we are constantly trying to figure out how to hurt our neighbors or ruin their reputation. We are like lob sters in a barrel—when one of us is at that threshold of immortality and striving for the pinnacle of success, there is always someone to grab us from behind, and pull us back to what they think our station is on earth. I ask you, how close do you think we must come to being hori zontal before we earn the right to be perpendicular? Most of us live in insecure sheltered worlds, with little or no hope of finding our selves and facing up to stark reali ty. When we look into a mirror and see our image, it is usually a super ficial iihpose likeness of what we would like to be, and not what we actually are. And yet fools that we are, we still go along in our mock world of inefficiency, situated on a found ation of sand and built on fear and superstition, where the least little disturbance will send it crumbling along with ourselves into mass confussion and whole sale chaos, from which many of us will never fully recover. It was a memorable occassion this past Labor Day at the Arthur H. Andersons’ residents in Minne apolis. On this traditional day of rest, Gloria Jean Page, Shirley Ann Moore, Justine Jackson, Vic tor Samuel Bristol, Clarence E. Barbour, and yours truly were treated to a superbly prepared din ner, which consisted of various delicacies served on the patio. After dinner the guests were served liquids of various degrees, this along with the fine food and smooth music made it a never to be forgotten occasion. I am sure one would have to go back many years, and dig into the archives of time to come up with a more enjoyable time. On the evening of Sept. 20, 1960, Miss Delois Bell of Minneapolis was hostess at a surprise birthday party given for Victor Bristol at Marion’s Tea Room. Some of the activities included impromptu picture taking, gab sessions, and all the rest of the functions that make a party a success. Those in attendance were Shir ley Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Duke, Billie Jean Marshall, and Elaine Syng. Also in attendance were Vic Syng, P. J. Young, Levell Jones, Earl Echart, and a throng of others.

Council Of Clubs Gets Behind Civic Progress Movement (Continued from Pago 1) persons), pleaded that each mem ber write at least one legislator. Attention-getting posters were painted and placed in key spots— some were placed in church lob bies. This action was designed to leave no doubts in any legislator’s mind as to how the rank and file of the Twin City Negro communi ty felt about the bill. Proof that this type of collec tive support had some effect may be born out in the state ment of one of the bill’s chief legislative proponents, who con fided that he felt one of the key factors in putting the bill across was the organized, active sup port the Negro community dem onstrated to the legislators. The Council's "Fair Housing Committee” also worked tirelessly to get supports at the legislative hearings on the bill. The highlight of this effort was realized when at one of the key hearings, a huge delegation patiently waited an hour and a half in order to fill virtually every seat in the small hearing room. This visual display took the "meat” out of the opposition’s argument that minority groups were satisfied with segregated housing. “Freedom Ride March” The latest such community ac tion project to be tackled by the Council is now forthcoming. Its promotion machinery right now is in operating at full throttle to arouse the community for a “Free- Snowballs in Summer I 4 * 5 ’ KEEP COOL! Keep wonderful ice cream snowballs on hand in your freezer all Summer! Scoop ice cream into balls . . . about six to a quart is right . . . and roll the balls in Raker’s Angel Flake Coconut.

In addition to the excellent sauce given here, you may like to try this quickie: Mix a quarter pound of chocolate-coated peppermint wafers with about 2 tablespoons water.

Add milk and sugar. Mix well. Heat until mixture is smooth. Serve warm.

These students must raise heavy appeal bonds to escape serving up to six months in the Mississippi State Pentitentiary at hard labor. Obie Kipper, a tireless workhorse of Council committee work, is hading this program. Although it is generally agreed that the Twin City Council's pro jection in civic action projects has added new vigor to the communi ty’s direction, it has not been without criticism. A typical crit icism is one voiced by a member whose club was one of the pioneers of the movement: “They are per verting the meaning and purpose of the Council of Clubs. It was meant to be the central place of keeping club dates synchronized, and not all this other stuff.” We called on Mrs. Margaret Ben ton (Urban League Guild), a hard worker on many of the Council’s recent civic projects, to see how she views this accusation: "Criticism of the Council’s civic endeavors, I think, represents a very minor faction. The vast ma jority of club memberships, I am sure, go along with this program. The best proof is in the fact that the Council continues to grow. Not only does it grow in size; but I think there is also a mental growth —a maturity of purpose and direc tion. Personally, I don’t see how an organization such as the Coun cil could survive in a community such as ours being oblivious of its social-economic needs.” Willard Jones (Mpls. Socialities), longtime civic chairman of the Council agrees. “It is basically the civic programs wherein lies the true potential of this organiza tion", he stated. New Group The Cosmopolitans Organized The Cosmopolitans, a group of civic minded young women, was organized at the home of Mrs. Constance Price, 1030 Iglehart Av enue, St. Paul, on Wednesday, Sep tember 13, 1961.
