Red Cross Call For Help

One of the attributes that sets us humans apart from
most of our fellow inhabitants of this crowded planet is the
desire to help someone in need or in trouble.

Even in the best of us,

this impulse of mercy may

seem to weaken under the pressures of daily living in this
highly organized and impersonal society of ours,

But, through our voluntary contributions of: time and
money to such welfare agencies as the American Red Cross, -
we are helping people i need as truly as if our hands

were touching theirs.

March, designated as Red Cross Month by the President
of. the United States, again gives us meer to extend

a helping hand to others.

ih More than a million Americans will be conducting a
nionth-long, nation-wide drive to enroll their neighbors as,
Red Cross members with a ~Good Things Happen When

You Help~ appeal.

When you become a Red Cross member, your help
ing hand reaches:

Next door, where the mother, trained in Red Cross
home nursing, takes care of a sick child;

_ Down the block, where a man trained in Red: Cross
first aid, saves tne life of a traffic victim;

Across town, where Red Cross-collected blood keeps

a hospital patient alive;

Across the nation, where Red Cross disaster workers

T6, Saudi Arabia,

are hel ping a tornado-stricken family rebuild its home;: where a Red ross field director. is

helping a U:~S. serviceman make an emergency trip home,
d

To Chile and Morocco, where the American Red Cross

Societies help

- and other members of the world-wide League of Red Cross
earthquake victims.

Truly, through your Red Cross you help make good
things happen wherever people are in need or in trouble.

Crack Lunch Bias

NW ORLEANS~Both of the
New Orleans major bus terminals
have served CORE test teams at
their lunch counters.

The. CORE groups -tested the
terminal restaurants after the
Supreme- Court banned segregated ~eating facilities in interstate commerce. The Greyhound
station has served all at its
~White Only~ restaurant with no
difficulty. The Trailways restaurant will serve Negroes~if they
have an interstate ticket.

The CORE group first sent a
team of white observers to the
Greyhound terminal. Then a Negro team entered the ~White

At N. 0. Depot

Onlyy~ restaurant. They were
served by a Negro waiter called
over from the ~colored~ restaurant. They were not asked to
sho. wtheir tickets.

At the Trailways restaurant
they were asked to show their
tickets ~ to Mississippi. - CORE
representatives have urged all
citizens of New Orleans to take
advantage of these ~facilities,:
~Many of us have gone to jail
in this fight, a: few stares won't
hurt anybodyy. ~

CORE is also working to end
discrimination at the.railroad station restaurant.:

GOOD THOUGHTS TO REMEMBER:

Jesus said, ~A new conimandment I give unto you;

That ye love one another; as | have loved you, that ye also

love one another. ~

~By this shall all men know that ye are m disciples,: ye have love one to another.~

(John 13:34, 3)

_, Appointment:

ST. LOUIS, Mo., ~ The local
NAACP chapter this week. asked
U.S. Senator Edward V. Long
({D~Mo.) ~to hold up the appointment~ of Harold Jinks to the
position of- regional operations
director of the Post Office Department here..

Margaret Bush~ Wilson, NAACP
president, charged Jinks with
being ~directly~ responsible for
initiating and promoting radial
segregation in party. affairs.in
the City of, Littie Rock (Ark.).~

She specifically cited.an Octo- ~

ber, 1959, incident in which Jinks

is said to have ~arranged public
ly insisted upon a racially segre
gated Democratic dinner party. thei~ ~Bartorr Coliseum in Little
ock,

~Senator | Stuart: Symington

(D.,~Mo.), was invited as speaker,
~Mrs. Wilson continued. ~Mr.
Symington cancelled this speaking engagement, and local Negro
Democrats informed the St. Louis
press that prior to Jinks no such
policy of segregation had existed
at party affairs.

~The St. Louis Post Office is
progressive and has a forward
moving record in race relations

-and equal job opportunity,~ Mrs.

Wiison added..

~We belive that a person with
Jinks~ views~! would bring to the
office, for which he is being
considered, ideas which would
not be desirable and in keeping
with the spirit and climate in
St. Louis,~ she concluded.

Christ Jesus the great exemplifier proved God, Spirit
to be the underlying. substance -of life when he fed
the more than five thousand
with two loaves of bread and
five fish, and still had twelve
baskets full of food left. It
was-in this manner of doing
things by the Holy Spirit that
Jesus proved all things for
the purpose of helping others
learn that God is the real
substance of life, then, now,
and forever.

The investigation of Chris-..
tian Science by Mary Baker
Eddy, has, brought many new
people into the study, and
application of the divine
Principle it teaches. And day
by day we learn that many
are dialing their televisions
to the services on Sunday
mornings and receiving the

great. esteem and regard.
And often watch tor a chance

position we occupy enables us

~Take my yoke upon you,
