It would end employment discrimination be cause of race with contractors or subcon tractors holding contracts in any city , county or state department of public works . This week by executive pen of President John Kennedy , a similar and more inclusive order covering private firms obtaining feder al contracts and government employment agencies .

He presented Ed with an old oil painting of his mater nal grandfather. It had been stored in the attic for many years and now it would be taken across the Atlantic Ocean. Ed’s grandfather is dressed in the kilts of the famous Black watch brigade. He wears the brush type mustache of the times and he strikes the classic blood and guts soldier stance. His countenance is stern with pier cing eyes. Before packing this picture in my pullman case, my spouse and I agreed that it would not hang over our spinet. Leaving Huddersfield was a hectic chore. We had been hon ored by so many parties as a farewell gesture that we didn’t get much sleep. Six o’clock came earlier than usual. We hustled about, making sure we didn’t forget anything. With in a couple of hours we left the small hotel. The stoop-shoulder ed porter held the taxi door open and the manageress bade us good by. We climbed into the car and sped to the train terminal. The train we were trying to catch was just pulling out when we pulled up to the front entrance. The cabbie jokingly said that the morning express was usually late but no doubt the holiday rush hadn’t delayed scheduled. We checked our luggage with a por ter and went in the tea room. In less than an hour another train arrived. We boarded it and began the worst train ride of our lives. I have read stories of the mis erableness of foreign train ser vice. I have laughed at the plight of travelers in movies and stage plays. I have listened to the tales of railroad woe told by ex servicemen. My husband has re lated to me the difficulties faced on the European railways. But, believe me—nothing serves one like experience. COn’t. P. 6 Views,Previews* Reviews EDWARD BANKS Four years ago on March seventh I became a naturalized American citizen. It was a grand and glorious experience, the kind which comes possibly twice or less in one’s lifetime. Regardless of the stability in any European country at any given time during the terrible wars that have coursed its history since the turn of the century, this land across the Atlantic Ocean has always held a mysterious drawing power for thousands of Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans, Italians, Greeks and many more nationalities. I suppose there is a little bit of Marco Polo in many men and I had been taken by the desire to see the world by my tenth birthday. Two of my uncles had been soldiers during the British colonial days in Africa and India. As a child, I was thrilled by their stories of far away places. I had read many travel books and I was keenly inter ested in world history and geography. Since living in the United States and becoming a citizen, I am dis mayed at the native born citizens apathy in learning about their country or government. Few of them realize that most Europeans know much more about their great men, their topography, their history and language than they do. This lack of knowledge leaves most of our citizens with a lack of patriotism—a true love of country. There are many speeches about combatting communism, but the most specific way to abhort its extension in this nation would be to teach American to know and love their way of life. Since giving up my British citizenship, I can still understand why that nation has survived s ome of the most deadly attacks that Napoleon and Hitler could dispatch. The people are fiercely proud of their homeland and although they freely criticize their government’s faults—they are tightly welded by bonds of patriotism and culture. America with all of its territory and ability to grow from a group of poor colonies in lss than 200 years—is truly the land of oppor tunity. It Is not a perfect place but neither is England or France or Russia. This country is great because nowhere else can a man have so many ways under the governmental and economic system to rise or fall as he desires. I can say simply that I am glad to be a small part of a great nation. REPOSSESSED Simmons Hide- oJteMly? hard l ° gr ° W ° ld a-bed, cost $289. Bal. due $79. ° # Dealer, 4101 S.
