The rummage sale w ill be held at the South Hubbard city limits on 99E. Various staff members of the Valley Migrant League have given help to the new organization VIVA, in Washington County. VML help ed VIVA get started. We believe that VIVA w ill grow up, to take its place in society. Meanwhile, if VIVA gets satisfac tion out of belittling the Valley Mi grant League, the Migrant Minis try, CAP, and other organizations, we hope that all these agencies w ill maintain their dignity and pay no attention to the childish jibes. OUR JOB IS TO FIGHT POVERTY R I A L We know that VML shares these purposes w ith several other organ izations. OUR ENERGIES ARE NOT FOR QUARRELING W ITH MALICE TOWARDS NO NE Under no conditions do we wish to discourage VIVA or any other organization from pursuing con structive goals. Under no condi tions do we wish to feel any jeal ousy toward any group which strives to combat poverty. We have no intention of entering a battle of insults with persons who are our brothers. In the new publication La Espuela we find many items of in terest. We recommend the article on page 2, "Designs," which lists the objectives of VIVA, as well worth reading.—D.W.

We hope that all groups which share the pur-, pose of defeating poverty in this nation w ill understand that we are a cooperative force.
