Wyatt on his recent visit to Chi

objectives of the Veterans’ em

for all veterans who need them
for themselves and their families
regardless of race or creed
Wyatt strssed that it would be
up to each community to tackle
its minority housing problem as
its local program was mapped out.
In the American Council state
ment Weaver commented, the
/\att program involves more
than emergency housing. It erta
blishes the basis and will set pat
terns for all future postwar hou
s ng activity, the reeds cf min
ority groups must be fully anc'
adequately considered before po
licy on local programs becomes
fixed.
Weaver also pointed to Wyatt’s
suggestion that the local emer

ej bym ayors, include repretenta
.. ves of govemmpr.' veterans
labor, builders, building material

to pa?s the Ives-Quinn bill assur
ing employment opportunities to
minority groups also require the
passage of the Austin-Mahoney
bill. It is useless to give job op
i portunities to minority groups if
they are denied education which
will give them tools with which
to perform their jobs. It is most
appropriate that this legislation
should follow closely upon the
heels of the Ives-Quinn bill and
that the power should be given
to the same agency as was esta

World wide leaders told us t’:at world war No. two,
j And you remember the slogan too,
^ as for world wide democracy; To free all men from
slavery; and from strife and tyranny—
And if they were victorious,—
A bright happy road was before us.
And India too, was promised her freedom by Britain
after the war was won.
And yet nothing has been done.
The same untruthful promises as ever before,
And a darker future lies in store.
For as long as men are held in slavery, lasting —acc
shall never be;
For freedom is every man's birthright—be he h!a?k or
white!
Aet leaders keep groups and nations in slavery still,
Knowing it is against God’s Holy will.
The peace of the world—and the world itself is at stake!
Because leaders won't give all men and nations an equal
break.
They would rather be blown to kingdom come_
Than grant equal rights to everyone!
It is sad to think we stand on the brink of world war
number three,
Just because a few men fail to see—
or will not face the fact—
That a L united States and British military pact,
^ ill not only turn the world against us.
But will prove disasterous!
(And how about the Anglo-American pact?)
(How will the darker races like that?)
e can't pat Russia on the back;
and then give her a back hand slan!
For Russia might not take that stuff.
And might call our bluff,
And when the Russian bear begins to growl—
It might be our time to howl !
For we are sowing the seeds of suspicion ami mtsirust;
And shall someday reap the bitter harvest.
^ e shouldn't forget wre owe Russia a debt—
which we can never repay; for it was her gallant
fighting which held Germany in check;
and paved the way for complete victory!
Today Russia is busy building and working to make her
future secure.
^ hile Americans are idle and shirking, with strikes and
i unrest everywhere.
And once again peace is far-far away, and once again
Americans are called to pray—
But they can pray every hour of the day,
And all through the week
And if they fail to keep
God's holy word, their prayers are unanswered,
If the world is to escape total disaster;
It must turn to the blessed Master!
Accept His teachings and obey His word,
Before prayers for peace are heard!
For thus spoke the Saviour of men,.
“AH things whatsoever ye would that men should do
unto you. Do ye even so unto them.*’

The farthest distant point on earth is now less
than 40 hours away by air travel. You can have
breakfast in New York—early dinner in London or
Paris.
The telephone has a tremendously important role
in this new concept of distance. As the barriers of
space and time are reduced, trade and travel are cer
tain to increase . . . bringing steadily greater need
for the fast, sure exchange of thought provided by
telephone service.
To catch up with present telephone needs ... to
plan and build soundly for the future, is the huge
job now facing your telephone company. In the
next few years this program will require an expend
iture of 10& million dollars in the five states in
which this company operates.
We don't have the necessary capital for this pro
gram. The only source for it is people with money
to invest. They will choose to invest in the tele
phone business only if it offers earnings comparable
to other businesses requiring huge sums of money.

THE USEFULMESS
OF COSMETICS
MRS. ALTHOUSE
"Cosmetics" used in a general
sense means anything which adds
to the charm of one’s physical be
ing.
To the public cosmetics are ar
tificial aids to charm and there
still hangs about their use an at
mosphere of unrighteousness or of
worldliness.
Historically the use of cosme
tics has gone in waves- During the
French and American revolutions,
as we all know, fashion dictated
an almost complete disguise by
cosmetics, powder, face powder,
rouge, beauty spots, etc., making
the natural face almost unrecog
nizable. Then followed a complete
•eaction.
The pendulum fs now swinging
hack aga'n and cosmetic8 are be
ing used by respectable women
of all classes to a greater or les
ser extent.
In mv opinion the use of cos
metics has no moral aspect. The
°'d idea that these artificial aids
were a devire of the devil to tempt
us into sin is nonsense and on par
with the idea of witchcraft.
