The recent developments in Atlanta may well have
performed a miracle, and to quote Secretary of Commerce, 
Maurice Stems, "Here's Where Black Power Turns
to Green Power," as he cut the Ribbon signaling the formal 
opening of the nation's first one-stop Office for Aid
to Minority Businesses.
The Secretary told of the $100,000,000 available to
Minority Businesses, and especially available to the Negro
American. The new "Minority Business Enterprise" is a
brain child of the Nixon Administration, and should remove 
all doubts of the sincerity of the President to aid
the Negro.
The newly opened "Cannolene Company" may well
be cited as a dream come true for the Negro businessman, 
and his approach to the main stream of American
social and economic world.
While not presuming to be a 'Drum-Major' for the
President or the Republican Party, one must admit, that
the GOP's got here the firstest with the mostest.

The Vote For 18 Year Olds
The question of giving 18 year olds the right to vote
on a national basis is presently before the congress and
many pro and ocns will be forthcoming, but the real
issue is not simply giving the 18 year olds the right to
vote, but conveying the meaning of the vote to these
youngsters.
In the state of Georgia, 18 year olds are already
voting and thus far everything is fine, but this state has
learned the lesson that the right to vote does not necessarily 
mean that the youngsters will vote.
In times of great stress on a national scale, the
right to vote is sertainly a grand privilege, as well as a
duty, it ought to be the concern of our law-makers that
a persons given the privilege to vote in elections, actually 
know the value of the vote.
Despite all of the 'Jive' talk about participating in
our various Governments, the only manner that John Q.
Public can actually participate is through the power of
his or her vote.
We find no fault in the 18 year olds voting, but one
may wonder what policy is forthcoming to teach the new
voter how to vole and what to vote for.
To all who would be community leaders, this is your
challenge Teach them.

The Arrival Of Summer
The summer solstice arrives midway between the spring
and fall equinox.
The first day of summer this year is June 21st, as it often
is, and summer lasts until September 23rd, the first day of
autumn. The hottest days of the year will probably comeif 
the weather follows the traditional pattern–after the longest 
day of the year (the 21st).
This is true, usually, because the earth stores heat in the
period when the sun shines longest. By July and August the
earth has stored great quantities.
Summer means vacation-time to many students, and shorter 
vacation periods to many adults.
To make this summer different, drive safely on trips to
mountains, lakes and beaches; reduce the death rate, which
might include you.

Father's Day
American fathers make more money than those of most
nations and give their families a higher living standard.
But in spite of such plenty, American families are not much
of an example to the world, as to permanence, child behavior, 
juvenile behavior.
On the contrary, American children are pushing the juvenile 
crime rate to record highs, the nation's divorce rate is
constantly increasing and the breakdown in the rate of stability 
and endurance of the American family seems to parallel 
the breakdown of paternal authority in the home.
One of the major reasons for this turn of events is the
"dunce" role so often played by the American father these
days. Whether the average American father is brainwashed
by television programs constantly stressing female dominance, 
(selling women the products being advertised) or
whether he has simply abdicated his role as the rock of stability, 
security and authority in the home, is a question.
Psychiatrists tell us wives want a husband they can respect, 
look to for guidance and the maintaining of discipline
in the home. Too many of them aren't getting much of it from
American fathers and husbands.
As wives and children remember them Sunday on Father's
Day, this is something they should be thinking about.

Black Profiles
Of Courage
By Lou LuTour
Ralph J. Bunche, who has been associated with the U.N.
since 1947, knows that faith, courage, determination and preparedness 
are necessary in order to accomplish things worthwhile. 

Mr. Bunche became a member 
of the faculty of Howard
University, Washington, D.C.
in 1928. In 1944, he was invited 
to join the State Department, 
where he successively
held the position of; Area
Specialist (Expert on Africa
and Dependent Areas) in the
Division of Territorial Studies; 
Acting Associate Chief,
Division of Dependent Area
Affairs. Office of Special Political 
Affairs, Associate
Chief and Acting Chief of the
Division of Dependent Area
Affairs, In 1946 the United
Nations requested his services 
on loan from the State
Department and he subsequently 
resigned from the
State. Dept. (1947) to accept
a permanent post in the United
Nations Secretariat.
After the death, in September 1948 of Count Folke Bernadotte
the United Nations Mediator in Palestine, Mr. Bunche was appointed 
by the Security Council as Acting U.N. Mediator in
Palestine, and in this capacity directed the negotiation at Palestine 
and elsewhere, which began in January 1949and ended
in July of that year, resulting in the four Armistice Agreements 
between Israel and the Arab States. He was assigned
by the Secretary-General in March 1964 to a supervisory role
with regard to the U.N. Operation in Cyprus (UNFICYP) involving 
a U.N. peace force of more than 6,000 Officers and
men.
He has been the recipient of numerous honorary degrees and
awards. Among the latter are Phi Betta Kappa; The Nobel
Prize in 1950; The Spingarn Meal in 1949; The four Freedom
Award in 1951; The Peace Award of the Third Order of St.
Francis in 1954; and The Golden Key Award in 1962. In 1963
he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Articles concerning Mr. Bunche may be found in the following 
magazines. Colliers, June 1949; Saturday Evening Post
August 1949; American, February 1950; Reporter, Dec., 1949;
Reader's Digest, April 1950; and February 1955; The Progressive, 
January 1955; Catholic Digest, July 1958.
An Undersecretary General of the U.N. Mr. Bunche is not
afraid to speak out on the issues of today. He stated that
racism was the No. I problem in the nation today, in terms
of its potentiality for disruption, for trouble in the country.
He said that "any Administration today, if it is goint ot deal
realistically with this problem, must wage war on racism
on the same scale as the Vietnam war-a cost of about $30
Billion a year.
His family consists of his wife, Ruth and a son, Ralhp Jr.,
who has been in the service since 1968.

Father of Father's Day

By JERRY KLEIN

SUNDAY, June 21, will be Father's Day, and here is the
original father for whom our annual Father's Day holiday was
begun!
His name was William Smart. And the traditional observance 
was started in his memory just before World War I in
Spokane, Wash.
The guiding force behind the holiday honoring fathers was
Smart's daughter, Mrs. John B. Dodd of Spokane. Out of
reverence for her father, she started the practice of having
a special day set aside in his remembrance.
Then with the help of local ministers and the YMCA, Mrs.
Dodd was able to organize a nationwide Father's Day to
honor all dads. Spokane was first to establish the special day,
but it spread not just throughout the United States, but to
other countries, too.
Small lived to see President Woodrow Wilson authorize a
Father's Day insignia in 1916. However, he died before another
president, Calvin Coolidge, first recommended a national ob-servance of the day. That was in 1924.

Women & Home
Foreigners often look on
in bewilderment at the sight
of so many American women
dashing here and there, in
all sorts of organizations,
clubs and tea parties, to the
almost complete neglect of
homes and families.
To many American women
the desire to conform, or to
be a community leader, socalled, 
is so great it confuses 
their values.
Taking care of one's home,
family, and garden, is a big
job in itself. If properly done,
it requires many hours of
planning, work, and perhaps
supervision, each day.
Yet the happiest women
are those who enjoy doing
this demanding job well, the
psychiatrist tells us.

SPACE A PEACE
Moscow—Premier Aleksei N.
Kosygin says that space cooperation 
between nations depends 
on better relations on
earth. He said that international
cooperation in space exploration 
and the use of outer space
for peaceful purposes-must be
based on the development of
mutual understanding and trust
among peoples.

LOUISA'S
LETTER
Dear Louisa,
I am very much in love with
a boy and we try to be together
as much as we can but my
problem is my mother. She
thinks I should limit my dates
but why should I do that when
I would rather be with him than
with anyone else in the world.
I am in high school and I know
how to behave and the boy I go
with is a gentleman. He lost
his job a few weeks ago but
it wasn't his fault because the
company had to cut down its
working force. So, of course, I
can see him a lot more now
than when he was working.
I would like to know what
you think about this situation.
D.F.-Va.
Answer:
There are several good reasons 
why a girl in high school
should limit her dates with a
young man even though he is a
perfect gentleman and she
knows how to behave. The
first of these is that two young
people should not be together
constantly unless they are old
enough to get married and the
boy is financially able to support 
a wife. Now, if you are in
high school I shouldn't think
that you have enough education
or responsibility to get married
and in your case with this boy,
unemployed, he is a poor risk
as a husband.
In the second place, while
it seems wonderful to be together 
so much, sooner or later
one of you will begin to get
tired of so much togetherness
and then the other one will become 
more possessive and
frustrated.
Use your own common sense
and limit your dates. Put the
blame on your mother–I'm sure
she couldn't care less. Find
other things to do and encourage 
your friend to look for a
job or go back to school if he

is that young.
There are so many temptations 
for young people to sidestep 
in this present era that
they have a difficult time to
live up to their Christian standards, 
but believe me, it will
pay you in the end if you try to
do the right things and think
about what your example means
to younger girls who probably
look up to you.
Also, give a little thought to
your parents. The rules they
make for you are not done to
harass you but to protect you
from making mistakes. When
you grow older you will understand 
why and regret, many of
your disagreements with them.
Louisa

The SST
William Magruder, head of
the U.S. supersonic transport
program, said recently he
was "absolutely confident"
two projected SST prototypes
would be constructed and
tested on schedule. (The airlines 
plan to introduce the
SST in 1978.)
This is encouraging in a
program that has been on and
off again for years and in an
age when every aircraft ordered 
by the military services
seems to encounter production 
delays, performance deficiencies 
and unexpected
cost increases.
Magruder says the public
has been partly misled by
half-truths and rumor concerning 
the noise problem
connected with the development 
of the big supersonic
transport. He believes the
big supersonics will be
quieter than today's commercial 
jets along takeoff
land approach paths and that
the noise problem elsewhere
can be solved by an extensive 
technological effort between 
now and 1978.
The big supersonics, built
in America, will bring billions 
of foreign currency into
the country if successful;
this alone is a good reason
for their construction. In addition, 
these are undoubtedly
the air transports of the future 
and U.S. security and
technological preeminence
are involved in their development. 


NOTES, COMMENTS
The politicians have convinced 
us that some of them
have to be liars.
A vacation is not going
away from your work; it is
getting your work out of your
mind.
People usually haven't got
time for unpleasant jobs even
though time isn't the problem. 

If you haven't noticed,
there is a church nearby
where you are welcome.
You can always question
the intelligence of the man
who boasts of what he
knows.

Daybook of America 1770—1870—1970
By CLARK KINNAIRD
He was the first who dared to
take a broadhorn (a low, flatbottom 
ark) heavily loaded from up river
over the turbulent Falls of the Ohio (at
Louisville). He out-butted, out-gouged, outstomped 
all challengers in the roughest variety 
of frontier "rassling," He out-ate, outdrank 
anybody. There were hundreds of tales
about him that expanded in retelling till it
was popular assumption he was the strongest, 
fightingest, sure-shootingest, most devilish 
man the lengths of the Allegheny, Kanawha, 
Ohio, Mississippi Rivers. Countless storytellers 
professed to have known him.
Who? Why, Mike Fink, "king-of the flatboatmen," 
and one spectacular companion of
Davy Crockett in some actual and much
fanciful folklore.
There was" a Mike Fink more real than
Paul Bunyan; he's due bicentennial atten
tion. 
For 1770 is given as his birth year at
the Forks of the Ohio (Pittsburgh). "As a
historical person little is known of him; in
the field of American legendry, he is the
hero of many a tale. It is certain he was a
keelboatman, that he was a remarkable rifle
marksman, that in 1822 he" joined a party
which ascended the Missouri River to its
uppermost reaches to open up trade with the
Indians of the Northwest," says an authority.
That was an epochal expedition organized 
by William H. Ashley for the Rocky
Mountain Fur Co. From it came back tales
of Mike Fink riding a wild moose, wrestling,
a bear, eating a whole buffalo. Mike didn't
come back himself. The first time he ever
missed in "shooting the cup," i.e., a tin cup
of whisky from a head at some thirty strides,
he was slain by a friend of the dead cupbearer, 
who had been forced—Mike's idea of
a joke—to be an
unwilling William
Tell.

ofound statements
as: "My God, what is this country coming to?"
Or... "This country will be better off once we
"get rid of those irresponsible, long-haired kooks
and black militants."
No doubt this is a serious and perplexing
time for all Americans, black and white. But it's
not going to get better until we all start getting
involved. Begin by re-appraising your own feelings 
and prejudices about people and things.
Stop hating people simply because they're
black, white, yellow or red. Look at them as individuals 
with the same rights to opportunity
and happiness as you have.
With the polarization of the races rapidly
approaching the dangerous stage, the philosophy 
of "I got mine, you get yours," must go. If
it doesn't, nothing else that happens will matter.
