the Elks observe what is known
as. the Annual Thanksgiving
Service, which -is a national~ observance all over the countfy.

This year the units from Ann
Arbor, Pontiac and Saginaw
were guests of Flint. The parade

cities marched from Stewart
and Maines street to the Fairview School

Youth Bureau, was dynamic
in his deliverance, This particular program was open to the
public. ee

Bro. Ben James, exalted ruler
and Bro, Luther Martin, Col.
Antler Guard unit, expressed
sincere wishes of the area cities
becoming regiments and the

and belief in our organization.

MOTHER~Even He who died
for us upon the cross, in the
last hour, in the unutterable
agony of death, was mindful of
His mother, as if to teach us
that this holy love should be our
last worldly thousht; the last
point of earth from which the
soul should take its flight for
heaven.~Longfellow.

MOTHER~Mother, when your
chillren are irritable, do not
make them more so by scolding
and fault-finding, but correct
their irritability by good nature
and__ mirthfulness. Irritability
comes from errors in food, bad
air, too little sleep, a necessity
for change of scene and surroundings; from confinement in
close rooms, and lack -of sunshine.~Herbert Spencer.

And at the same time as the

in connection with the Seaway
are scheduled for May 28 at
Amherstburg, Ontario, a French

_ as the Seaway is completed.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MEETING in Washington had
a most challenging theme this
year~unleashing the cteative
energies of people. In my talk
before the group on April 30
I congratulated the national
Chamber on their emphasizing
this theme which is the patter: of free enterprise now and
in the future if we are to meet
the challenge of maintaining
he stability of our economy.
And I pointed out-that this
creativity -must not. be limited
to. the channels of invention..
There must be further creativity in production methods, in
meeting the,demands that will
be placed upon us by the growing incidence of automation in
industry, in solving the vast problem of secondary and. higher
education arising from our increasing population. There must
be creativity) in- selling and adverstising, in| developing leisure
time activities and in all the
professional pursuits. In a word
there must be creativity in businéss managment~and to the
extent that it is developed, to
that extent Government must
retreat, as it should, from the
affairs of business.:
BUDGET FEVER, as it should,
continues to be the principle
item of concern all over the
country. Here are some of President Eisenhower's long range
budget remedies which are now
under scrutiny by the Congress:

as possible to reduce and eventually eliminate the postal deficit.

2. Establish interest for Government loan piograms that
will induce private, funds to
participate in their financing,
and at the least ~require such
rates to cover the borrowing
césts of the Federal Government.

3. Provides user charges for
such things as use of Federal
airway. facilities that will relieve the general public of having to subsidize governmental
services affording special benefits..

4. Require State financial
participation in Federal disaster assistance programs,

5. Encourage State and local
groups to engage in partnership with the Federal Government in major water resources
development. x

6. Reject new projects not
approved by the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors
and not reviewed by all interested parties, including the
affected States; provide where
appropriate for more local
participation in~ approved projects; and withhold authorization and construction of. all but
urgently needed projects.

7. Enact bills approved by
the Administration to implement Hoover Commission re
June 30.

on the basis of annual accrued
expenditures and the extension
of the Reorganization Act of
1949.

8. Establish procedures that
will facilitate the return of
surplus Federal land and other
property to private, local or
State use.

9. Before adopting unbudgetec programs, project the costs
they would impose, on the Federal budget in years ahead, and
reappraise the necessity for and
rate of implementation of each
program.

10. Grant the President veto
power over specific items in
appropriations ~bills. _

AVERILL, near Midland, was
famed in its day for hug log
rollways and river drives.
Known as Red Keg, its uproarious lumber life has been depicted in two of Eugene Thwing~s novels; ~The Man from
Red Keg~ and the ~Red Keggers.~-The name Red Keg borne
first by a widely patronized
saloon in the vicinity.

Best wishes.

_, MONEY TALKS ~

| Rooseveit ~Money Honey~ Brown was slouched in a chair
and intently reading the April 27 editorial of the. Bronze
porter, when I entered his room. + 1
~Well, you did ask me in, didn~t
queried.
~Huh? oh, yeah~have a sit down and give yo~ feeta
break,~ ~Money Honey~ Brown said absent-mindedly.:
~Do you mind telling me what is it that is absorbing
your attention?~ ete
~In \a minute, Buster, in a minute,~ he promised and
continued reading. eat
| removed my coat and began fo make a place to be
seated. It was necessary to relocate a newspaper, a
sweater, and a magazine to do so. By this time, Roosevelt
~Money Honev~ Brown was removing his reading glasses
and I interpreted this gesture to mean that he was ready
to give me his undivided attention.

you, my friend?~ |

~What do you think about our big-shot bizness and pro-.

fessionals?~ He began, ~Ah agrees with dis!~ (pointing to
the editorial)

_ ~Let me refresh my memory,~ I stated, taking the paper
and re-reading the article.

~It is true that some egotistic persons may be guilty of
exhibiting too much arrogance and sophistication, but I don~t
think we should condemn all of them,~ I explained after the
review. Eee

~Dere vou goes, always defending them peepul, But
thank God we here in Flint have the freedom to spend
our money where we wants to. Ah wuz down in court
before the grand jury begun. A cullud lawver comes up
to me and says as if he was. the Almighty hisself, ~~Whut
are vou doing here~ Ah told him that ah wuz there fo~
mah constitooshun and walked away from him. He don~t
kno~ how to talk to nobuddy.~~: 5

~~Do you think that you were too sensitive about his approach to you?~ I asked simply.

~Lissen, Daddy-O, um~s as good as the next purson.
Nobuddy kin treat me like ah~m dirt and expects to get
mah money. The white lawyers are so friendly and unnerstanding. Dat~s why no cullud lawyer was detained to represent any ~of us at the grand jury hearing, or. at least. one
of the reasons.~~

~Then vou just don~t believe in catering to the business
and professional element of your race. We have many
capable men and women in our race and | think if all
things are eaual we should permit them to serve us whereever and whenever possible.~

~Whut you say sounds down right purty and racial, but
whut do you say to this. Do you remember when everyone
wuz concerned about no teachers in our schools and no
cullud girls in the downtown offices as clerks or secretaries?
Do you remember the big crowds who came out to the
NAACP meetings?~ es

~Yes, I do recall how the Negro was forced to ban. together to gain an objective. And I also remémber the pride
of the average Negro in certain accomplishments made by
certain race individuals. What has happened to this pride?~

~Befo~ ah answer that vou tell me where is this group
when the monthly NAACP meetings is being held; where
is this group when church is in session;. where is this
group when it comes to supporting:his own.newspaper?
~Ah'll tell you. They~is too important being ~uppity and big
shots. They wants to be bettern than us little folks.~
~ ~What about the racial pride, ~Money~,~ I repeated.

~Whut about commos courtesy and humility?~:

Though the day has been Set aside... remember...

that she thinks, or has thought of you: always. So as days,
months, years, roll by DON~T FORGET... REMEMBER!

Applications now are being
received at Lawrence Institute
of Technology for an accelerated pre-college program which
has proven popular to high
school graduates who want to
become engineers or scientists
but who failed to take enough
science ~and mathematics in
high school.

A twelve week program will
be offered during the summer if
sufficient applications are received, according to President
E. Geerge Lawrence.;

Currently, the pre-college studies are offered. Tuesday and
Thursday nights during the regular college semesters.

Under the program, students
are able to make-up their deficiencies in the shortest _ possible time. In most cases high
school students are not completely short of: the engineering
requisites which include 1%
years of algebra, a year of plane
geometry and a year of physics
or chemistry.

It~s Clean-Up Time

The clean up, paint up, fix up campaign extends far beyond that of the official and public announcements. It is
the duty of every resident of the city to set aside this time
to improve the appearance. of his residence, neighborhood,
community. and town. Too frequently, when this time
comes, the complaint is that proper publicity has not been
given of clean up dates; however, each year more emphasis
is being attached to observing the period for such activity..

Why not stop using excuses and get right up and take
care of your share of the project?

The plan makes good sense and enables you to get rid
of debris and what have you, at the city~s expense. ~ It
happens once every year. Why be so lazy and stop there?
Have a little initiative; dig up that lawn and plant flowers
and grass, put a little paint where it is needed most; rebuild -
or repair those.torn down areas and anything else to make ~
home a better place to live. |

Many organizations are. putting forth every effort to
make the campaign a most successful one. If a few of these
things can be accomplished, oh what a better community
and city we will enjoy.

Yes, today we~ll say is Mother~s. Day,--aut,,our. thoughts
are of years gone by. We remember her smile, her. happiness and even her soft little cry. There was a comfort to
know, when we were not too old, we had her between us
and the world. We remember that smile... a frown once
in a whilé; both we know we deserved. Can you remember
some cold night, a cool hand caress a fevered brow...
kind eyes look down, though they were tired, they were
most comforting. A soft whisper, get a little sleep,.
mother will be here. ee

We grew up and mom was still there with us. Perhaps
God has called her, yet her presence would always remain
in her teachings. She taught us to pray.... to do good...
which without, no man would long survive. Even in
Foreign lands... on battle fields... wherever we might
be, we remember mother.

How often have you been guilty... thinking only of
her on MOTHER~S DAY? This great love that mother has
is like a tree; it has the strongest of roots; then comes the
branches which bears the leaves, representing the many.
ways and various responsibilities which comes with motherhood.
