SjSM/// Literary Column A PRAYER FOR EVERY DAY Make me too brave to lie or be unkind, Make me too understanding, too, to mind The little hurts companions give, and friends, The careless hurts that no one quite intends. Make me too thoughtful to hurt others so, Help me to know The inmost hearts of those for whom I care, Their secret wishes, all the loads they bear, That I may add my courage to their own, ' That I make lonely folks feel less alone And happy ones a little happier yet. May I forget What ought to be forgotten, and recall, Unfailing all What ought to be recalled, each kindly thing, Forgetting what might sting. To all upon my way, Day after day, Let me be joy, be hope! Let my life sing! —Mary Carolyn Davies . People of Nebraska Miss Mary Nelson, former Lincolnite and graduate of the University of Nebraska, who has been with the U.N.R.R.A. in China for the past 18 months is vacationing in Manilla. Miss Nelson who is a sister to Bill Nelson received her Master’s Degree at Ohio State and did work on her Doctorate in New York, she has taught for a num ber of years in Tennessee, Wash ington D. C. and Georgia. Mrs. John Johnson, 1310 A St., a cousin to Miss Nelson received the following letter from her re cently: Dear Odessa. ¥ just left Shanghai yesterday and am now out in the Pacific headed toward Hong Kong. Along time ago I worked one summer in Louisville, Ga., a little southern city near Stratesboro. It had a slave market stand in the middle of the main street which reminded me of the fountain that used to be in the center of eleventh St., there in Lincoln, until they re moved it* because of so many ac cidents. Well anyhow on Sat urday afternoon the country folks all dress up and come into Louisville to shop or meet their friends. So one Saturday after noon in front of one of the prin cipal stores I heard one woman say to another, “So you did got here before I dead.” ‘Well, I feel (Continued on page 8) The Voice "Advertisers" are making this publication possible —show them your appreciation by your patronage.

You’re a good ball player, however, and you’ll do all right. Just stay in there and fight back, and always re member to keep your head up.” After offering those words of encouragement, Greenberg went about his business of playing ball and so did Robinson. But Jackie didn’t forget what Hank told him. In fact he was grateful to the Pirate star for showing such an interest in him. “He sure is a swell guy,” Jackie said after the game. “He helped me a lot by saying the things he did. I found out that not all the guys on the other teams are bad heels. I think Greenberg, for in stance, is pulling for me to make good.” • # • » The Challenge of the Mile The only lagging specialty now noted among our track stars is the mile-run. From the 100 yard dash through the 8880-yard run, our bronzed heroes have chased the Caucasian names completely out of the book of world record title holders. Jesse Owens owns the century at 0:09.4; Owens also owns the 220, with an 0:20.3; McKenley the 440, with an 0:46.2, and no Ameri can has beaten Elroy Robinson’s 1:49.6 for the 880. In view of the fact that the high school mark for the mile is 4:21.2; it seems rather dismal that our collegians are still turning in terrible marks a 4:31.6 at Hampton last week, and a 4:41.3 at the Tuskegee Re lays, a week earlier. The mile is now the “classic” race, domin ated by the names of Gunder Hagg, Erne Anderson, Les Mc Mitchell, Gill Dodds, Glen Cun ningham and Bill Hulse, all of whom have done at least a four minute, nine second effort in the mile. We have yet to develop such a topnotcher, although Frank Dixon was once very close. Here is a challenge to our coaches and athletes: get in there and do a decent mile.
