NEW DEAL VERSION 23RD PSALM Mr. Roosevelt is my shepard, I am in want, He maketh me to lie down on park benches, He leadeth me beside the still factories, He disturbeth my soul, He leadeth me in the paths of destruction for theparty’s sake Yea, though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Depression I anticipate no recovery, for he is with me, His policies and his diplomacies, they frighten me. He prepareth a reduction in my salary And in the presence of mine enemies He annointeth my small income with taxes, and my expenses runneth over. Surely unemployment and poverty shall follow all the days of my life and I shall dwell in a mortgaged house forever. -Anonymous. INTERNATIONAL NEGRO PRES3 RECREATION Never befre has our group seem ed so co conscious of physical ex ercise. Every block has its nightly street boxing sessions, the parti cipants ranging in age from five years upwards. Ropes stretched across the sidewalks at different heights make an adventure of what hiherto has been an ordinary “con stitutional walk” ais future Corne lius Johnsons and David Albrit tons practise higher jumps, corn down on the hard flagstones seem ingly heedless of the jolts that would reduce older bones to frag ments. Vacation time is almost over, but that does not mean the end of re creation time. Heathful living in cludes recreation. Since the days of Hoppocrates the regimens of heathful living drawn up by hy gienists have st re sues! fresh air, food, rest, cleanliness, the correc tion of physical defects and exec eise. Whether we are at work or at school, we have leisure and what we do in our leisure time has an intimate part to play in determin ing thait perfect balance of mind and body which we call health. It does not matter whether we have an hour of leisure time or a week end; what does matter is that the time be uised to truly recreate. Listening to or making music is a form of recreation. If a person has ever had the experience of for getting bodily fatigue while listen ing to music, isn’t it worthwhile to spend some time in working out a way to have the experience re peated often? The radio makes this form of recreation very accessible, but we fail to take he greatest ad vantage of it. Too often we chat ter through he finest programs al most shrieking in order to be heard above the music instead of per mitting the soothing strain to per meate our souls and replenish the wells of life. Reading for pleasure is another form of recreation, but tastes in Raising the Family* Cou)dHonry have attended that Sr.h~r,r flshef i - l voOvB Sajd ^ wvi fco-r- yyy**'0 ,r!l \?C«ooi.s «sc ptiwc ICtoeKers to wr H6M ? | 'Mvx ! _ W6U.

'4 cup cream >4 cup red cherries Add all ingredients except cream to gmham cracker crumbs and pack into loaf pan. Let stand in reading material vary. Not only do individual tastes very, but in appetites for one or (another form of reading are subject to season able changes. On a spring after noon one may perfer 'poetry, while a cold winter night mtay make a detective story first choice. The principal thing, however, if any in dividual loves to read and knows that reading can always give that bodily relaxation nd mental stimu lus sought, is to secure reading matter which fits that person’s baste. The contemplation of beauty can be used to re-create. From our jumbled storehouse we recall that a poet, a Persian, we believe ad vised “If thou bast two loaves of bread, sell one and buy white hy acinths for thy soul.” Of course what is beauty for one may not be for another. It is quite possible that a second loaf of bread might appear more beautiful o some, peo ple than a field of primroses. The important thing is to seek what ever brings peace or ecstacy to the eyeis of the beholder or the ears of the listener. Physical exercise to be truly re creational is a much a matter of personal taste as the book one chooses to read or the music one likes to hear. To indulge in swim ming, skating, baseball playing, tennis or gold because it is “good for you” rather than because it is enjoyable is to transform a lei sure time activity into work. Let us then not lose the gains that the summer has brought us, but continue to use our leisure time for the purpose of replenish ing physical and spiritual ener gies. , . f BRONCHIAL COUGHS Just A Few Sips and— Like A Flash — Relief! —■ * All coughs look alike to Buckley’s Mixture (triple acting)—one sip of this grand medicine soon stops an ordinary cough — tough old deep seated coughs and the persistent bronchial cough are under cofttrol after just a few doses—no more tor menting, sleepless nights.
