the necessary concessions the
individual will be called upon
to make, such as integration
of your own neighborhood or
on the job, here is where the
problem will become personal
and, I am sure, in many in
I stances call for a measure of
self discipline to overcome
whicn is, in most cases, the
psychological phase.
To make the close inter
mingling of the races harmon
ious will call for adjustment
on both sides. Herein is
where these incidents will ap
pear but lime will prove a
great factor in smoothing the
relations, for as the parties in
volved become more accust
oiscd to close association with
each other the easier it will be
to accept one another. In other
words what seem to be ob
stacles now will disappear i;
we approach them.
In the co-mingling of any
two groups of people brought
up under diflercnt standards,
the menial attitude, a sincere
desire to understand each
other in the start is of great
value to the success of the
veglure. So if we enter into
tins new relationship with dis
regard for race, creed or color
we will find it little different
than what we have been used
to among our own, where in
dividuals are not always con
genial to each other. It need
not ruin the overall pattern.
The mass march on Wash
ington was a fitting climax in
calling the attention of the
entire nation.

All You Gotta Do . , .
To the Editor:
The Bircher's say go to
right
i And we will be in clover.
Well, the right's been running
things
In England now, for several
years
And Holy Cow; just look em
over.
The prissy right, so lily white,
By Christine's charm was
smitten;
The stage is set, and you can
bcl,
That they are through in
Britain.
Or, as Aslor said to Profumo,
"When you gotta go, you
gotta go"
That Mandy was no kitten.
Oh, the Bircher's can cure
anything
Both domestic or foreign.
All you gotta do is impeach
Earl Warren.

Then a union dared not show
its face .
And the "colored brother'
"knew his place".
You worked twelve hours for
a buck a day.
And the rest of the time was
I yours to play.
Things were better then;
You wouldn't dare to even
mention medicare.
And as for social security,
To approve of that, would
show lack of maturity.
And then we had no income
tax,
Or income either to tell the
facts.
As for this "aid to education",
It was "let no one rise above
his station".
I
Of course, we folks had not
been born
So tine word wasn't out to
"impeach Earl Warren".
j Now, Mr. Welch is Uie leader,
He a the one who gets the dues
From the Utile old ladies in
tennis shoes.
He never knew Christine or
Mandy,
His money came from making
candy
And I bet he made good candy

No if's, no and's, or but's.
After all. he has a corner
On the world's supply of nuts
Remember: all you gotta do is

Sunday and Heathens
To the Editor: MT., Aug.
23; Mr. Thomas N. Bostwick.
and Aug. 28, Mrs. Barbara
Corwin; in answer:
Wish to stale that 1 heart
ily agree with Mr. Bostwick
in regard '.o pagan and gentile
beliefs that have crept into
our Christian world today.
Look it up in history. One of
the greatest errors that was
ever made was when Chris
tianity accepted Sunday from
the Gentiles as the day of
worship and the worshiping
of the cross.
Look on page 302, General
History, by Myers, revised ed
ition, for the changing of Sat
urday to Sunday for the day
of worship, and page 300 for
the cross. This was accepted
by Christianity and still in
force but God will soon
straighten this out together
with graven images and stat
ues, banquets and social af
fairs in the supposed house
of the Lord.
The only part where I do
not agree with Mr. Bostwick
is the word 'Heathen. Read
your scriptures and you will
find that name used to iden
tify the people of today out
side of Israel and .ludnh. On
page 42 of same history you
will find Saigon 11 captured
the Ten Tribes of Israel and
scattered them in the year
722 B. C. In Rev. 11-2. the
Gentiles reign 42 months, a
day for a year, 1260 years.
(Rev. 12-8) God's church fled
from the power of Dan. 7-25
for 1260 years. Add the two.

On tha Natura of Poetry
Poetry survives. It endures even the occupation of the
poet. . . . The poem is an expression not of a private area
of a man called his talent, but of the entire individual, the
talent being the manner in which that man gels himself

A Thing of Beauty
IFrom "Endymion")
A thing of beauty is a joy forever:
lis loveliness increases; it will never '
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing
A flowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearlh
Of noble natures, of the gloomy days,
Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darken'd ways
Made for our searching: yes, in spile of all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the pall
From our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon,
Trees old and young, sprouting a shady boon
For simple sheep; and such arc daffodils
With the green world they live in; and clear rills
That for themselves a cooling covert make
'Gainst the hot season; the mid-forest brake,
Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms:
And such too is the grandeur of the dooms
We have imagined for the mighty dead;
All lovely talcs that we have heard or read:
An endless fountain of immortal drink,
Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink.
-John Keats
O
Aristolla Now
"... The Epic pools were succeeded by Tragedians, since
drama was a larger and higher form of art."

Worms
I saw a man of woman born,
With can in hand one lovely morn,
Looking for a hapless angleworm
That soon from some fierce hook would squirm.
The world was draped in pearly mist,
Like "gentle lover gently kissed;
And Time, swift demon on the run,
Was racing madly 'gainst the sun.
Man, like a heedless, careless boy,
Both fish and self seems to destroy.
Christ was a fisher among men
It's time for Christ to fish again.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JHMKINS
Wednesday was quite a day
i in our history.
Our nation had braced it
self for trouble in Washington,
where a throng of more than
200,000 white and colored
Americans had assembled to
call upon the Congress to end
all manner of racial discrimi
nation. But trouble didn't come.
Kind Words
To the Editor: During many
years of extended travel
through most of our states, I
had become painfully aware
of the generally low quality
of many city newspapers.
Featuring cheap sensational
ism and devoting excessive
space to trivialities, news of
real importance whether
local, national or internation
al often is meager and
sketchy by comparison. Edit
orial fare rarely is any better.
Newspapers of quality are,
unhappily, the exception:
among them, such as the em
inent and unrivaled New
York Times and its less dis
tinguished yet also excellent
neighbor, the Herald-Tribune;
the Christian Science Mon
itor. Atlanta Constitution,
Raleigh News and Observer,
Detroit Free Press, Louisville
Courier-Journal, and -praises
be!-the Medford Mail Trib
une. Notably poor, as I ob
served again on a recent trip
to the east, arc the news
papers of Boston, Mass.
really a sorry lot. That great
cultural, commercial and in
dustrial center deserves a bet
ter fate.
Medford has reason to be
proud of its many cultural
and other community assets:
not least, its own disting
uished newspaper (mindful of
its having been the recipient
of a Pulitzer prize and its
managing editor last year
having served on a Pulitzer
award panel). In this connec
tion, I, offer an excerpt from
my first letter to the MT,

John Heywood, who lived

the answer when he wrote in

"OF A GOOD BEGINNING
COMETH A GOOD END."
Medford Mail Tribune. I have
been delighted to find its
coverage of national and
world news exceptional for a
city this size . . , Particularly
gratifying to me is your
paper's able, independent and
forthright editorial comment
and its judicious use of quotes
from such outstanding writers
as Walter Lippman, 'Scotty'
Rcston and others."
Quite unusual, too, Is the
generous space you regularly
devote to letters lo the editor.
Commendable also is Uie im
partiality of treatment accord
ed these communications.
However, I share your con
cern that such a dispropor
tionate number of these is
from assorted cranks: (ill
mlnations and sputterings of
the perennial "antis" most
ly uncredited quotes from the
professionals of that breed
who have collected fortunes
from their gullible followers.
As a regular reader of our
"Trib" these three years, I of
ten say to my fellow Manor
residents: "Now that you are
a citizen of Medford, the Mail
Tribune is your 'home-town'
newspaper and you should
read it regularly, so that you
may be well informed on
local affairs and activities
as any g ood citizen should
be."

'THE good beginning?
A It was provided by a Little
Old Lady.
rpHE Little Old Lady?
A She is Mrs. Acquila Bale
man. Colored. Seventy . four
years old. And crippled. She
limped on her bad leg to the
Lincoln Memorial. There,
standing before the gigantic
statue of Abraham Lincoln,
chiseled by Daniel Chester
French some four decades
ago, she bowed her head in
reverence and asked, the dis
patches tell us, a small favor
of the Lord.
She prayed:
"Oh Lord, be with us today,
and keep us in the hollow of
your hand. May we love each
other. May we GET TO
GETHER. I pray that nobody
will do anything PERSONAL
BAD to anybody else in Wash
lngton today."
IT WAS a good beginning for
a day that might have been
fantastically tragic.
If Booker T. Washington
was hitting somewhere on a
cloud and Hstening, he must
have murmured reverently to
himself and whispered: "Well
done, thou good and faithful
servant."
WHO was Booker T. Wash
ington.' He was born a slave. At the
age of 16, he walked 500
miles from his home to Hamp
ton Institute, where he work
ed his way through and grad
uated in 1875. Afterward, ha
taught at Hampton Institute.
He showed such ability that
in 1881 he was chosen to or
ganize a similar school for
Negroes at Tuskegee, Ala.
He opened his school in an
old church with only 30 pu
pils, but in time the school
grew into the famous Tuske
gee Normal and Industrial
Institute.
He grasped the fundamental
fact that EDUCATION was
the way out for the members
of his race. It is STILL tha
way oul.
