As the years pass into eternity, each one likes to recall these milestones of history—the dreams which have come true, the expe riences which have marked epochs of time, the sorrows that have been shared, and the joys which have brightened life’s pathway. To each one, these memories of the heart bring new hopes, new desires, new challenges to be met, or new victories to he won. To the young couple, what can mean more than the first wedding anniversary? Yet, as the 25th or even 50th anniversaries come and go, each succeeding one becomes more rich in happy memories. To the young college graduate, what day can hold more of a thrill than the day he was awarded his diploma signifying the accomplishment of high edu cational standards? And, what can challenge him toward greater accomplishments more than a vision of new and higher goals to be attained? In the field of science, an era Is initiated by the discovery or de velopment of a previously un known substance. An inventor may, by patenting some new tool, bring added enjoyment and con venience to the busy housewife in her task of making a happy home. More pointedly, as we think of anniversaries, let us pause to pay tribute to “The Voice” and to its editors—Rev. and Mrs. M. L. Shakespeare. As “The Voice” en ters into another year, let us think of the help that it has of fered to each reader in every walk of life—aids to the housewife, features for the “younger set,” comforting words for those in need or sorrow, thoughts to help each one grow, articles and editorials for the advancement and welfare of those whom it represents, and, above all, the Christian ideals upon which the paper is founded. To you—Rev. and Mrs. Shake speare, and to all others respon sible for issuing “The Voice,” we would j&in in paying our tribute, and in wishing you happiness and success as you continue to inspire your readers to higher goals and more worthwhile attainments! m ( (Mrs, Brevy Miller Mrs. Miller who edits the Household Hint column for “The Voice” came to Lincoln in 1918 immediately following her gradu ation from Yazoo High School in Mississippi. She was a student of Union College for two years and studied music at the Molzer School of Music. She is active in church, and social activities of the community and her hobby is can ning, cooking and gardening. Mfs. Miller’s interest and enthusiasm in “The Voice” grows as the days go by, and she never tires of working with it and for it. Great things are accomplished by those who are never quite satis fied! Delight Killinger, Hastings, Nebr. Intolerance No Sectional Problem CHICAGO. (ANP). An exhorta tion to “give all Americans a chance to exercise basic human rights” was delivered by Mar shall Field, owner of PM news paper and publisher of the Chi cago Sun, before a meeting of the Fifth Ward forum here last week. Mr. Fields was outlining a five point program for liberals which included maximum employment at all times, a realistic national program of health insurance, a housing program to restore to American families a sense of sta bility and dignity, development of responsible attitudes toward pro duction by management and labor, and full racial equality for all , Americans. Teen Age Chatter By Dorothy Green Well this marks a year of teen age chatter in “The Voice” and I think it has been a great success (not bragging) for the 1st year and I hope it will continue to be as great a success in the coming years. The 4-H club is having a mas querade party the 31th. Get your tickefrat the door. Time 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Place, Urban League, 2030 T Street. Admission is 10c. Fun and prizes for every one. Well, we have lost two more of our teen-agers to the married set. They are Margarite Gill (Bell) and Walter Bell who were mar ried Sunday the 26th and did she look charming! I know there are other teen-agers who envy her. * * * Did you see what I saw Sun day? The new bride, (Margarite Bell) threw her bouquet to none other than Miss Freddie Powell (the lucky girl). I also noted that Nathan (Nate) Harvey was here Sunday. Could this mean that the old superstition will come true? You must remember Mrs. W. Bell Jr. caught the bouquet of Mrs. Bettye Tarpley Rogers. In the Fashions I noted the fine red suit that Betty Bowman had on Sunday. She wore some cute red shoes. Also, another piece of Date Bate was Joyce Williams (Miss Dobbs) who had on a fine green dress and a fine green (Dobbs) hat that is keeping up with the styles. During the year Susie May Whitehall found out some very cute nicknames. They were: Phyllis Holcomb—Pete. Lois Hatcher—Red. Hazel Wilson—Lu Lu. Loretta McWilliams—Shretta. Susie Mae Whitehall—Cuddles. Fletcher Bell—Bomb Bell or Jon Rosco. Weiland Tarpley—Dr. Boon. Gerald Davis—Count Davis. Nolan Davis—Duke Davis. Guess who these are 1. Motorcycle king. 2. Blue streak Sunday Man. 3. The eyes on 20th Street. 4. The switch on T Street. 5. Suffa suffa gal. So long until next week.
