If you want to have a lot of fun,
just try getting some of our people
to do something for their own good
and the good of the race. Take this
Registration thing for instance
that we have been doing for the
past month. You meet some very
interesting people and you meet
some people that make you wonder
after all, why am I worrying about
whether they register or not, or
even breathe, for that matter.
Then you get to thinking about
people like Dr. Carver, Harriet
Beecher Stowe and Abraham Lin­
coln and you start out all over
again. Renewed in the determina­
tion to help your Race even though
there are some that do not appre­
ciate your efforts in their behalf.
We are lost for words to explain
a phenomena that came to our at­
tention a couple weeks ago, but
which we have just had a chance
to view with our own eyes. We were
told of a place in Vancouver, Wash.
