Troubles Ahead For Next President" No one knows who the next President will be But whatever his name and party label, he is in for a rugged time. United States News and World Report recently dealt what the new President will face in a brief but comprehensive feature article. As it observed, the job offers many unique assets and prerogatives. The Chief Executive lives in one of the most magnificent homes on earth. Legions of assistants and servants are at his beck and call. He is treated with the utmost deference by everyone. Hardly a wish goes unfulfilled. He is paid a large salary and receives a $50,000-a-year tax-free expense fund in addition. But all these material benefits lose much of their lustre in the light of the enormous problems with which the President must deal — and of the fateful decisions he, and he alone, must make. The U. S. News article is called "Troubles Ahead For Next President." Here, in capsule form, is the gist of what the magazine anticipates for him: DEBT. Soon the national debt will touch the $275,000,000,000 legal ceiling. The President will have to choose between asking Congress to raise that ceiling or cut the spending. Either way, he will make political enemies. WAR. It seems certain that the Korean War will still be going when he takes office, even though it may be relatively passive. This is a stalemated, totally unpopular war. What will he advocate to end it? BUSINESS. Many economists think that the boom is running down. Next year, it is forecast, there will be a substantial decline in industrial expansion, There will probably be a drop in profits — and that will bring a drop in tax collections, making the budget problem still more difficult. The ranks of the unemployed will be swelled. All this may happen very soon after the next President moves into the White House. AGRICULTURE. Some farm commodities are in a surplus state now. Other surpluses are anticipated. So, as U. S. News put it, "The next President is to be caught between the pressure of city people interested in cheaper food and a farm population insisting that government support farm prices against substantial decline." BUREAUCRACY. The President is the titular boss of 6,200, 000 people — 2,500,000 civilians and 3,700,000 military. This huge payroll is one of the primary causes of our outsize Federal budgets. And here again the next President must make a difficult decision. In the view of U. S. News, "If he does not cut the payroll and the functions of the government bureaucracy, his financial troubles will grow. If he does cut the payroll, some people will be out of jobs, raising political fuss, and if he cuts functions some group or region will lose a good thing and also will raise a political fuss." These aren't all of the problems the beleaguered next President will face — not by a long shot. And great problems we can't even anticipate today may also be his. But they serve to indicate the enormous and unavoidable burdens that are part and parcel of what is accurately described as the biggest job in the world. Ike Gets Mud Bath General Dwight D. Eisenhower has clearly reflected his amazement at the looseness and informality of actions by some of his newly-won political supporters. The General, who is accustomed to strict discipline and respect for rank and formality, is getting the old American "candidate" treatment. When he arrives at each new stop there is often someone who, feeling great, wants to hug the General or buddy-buddy with him. To Ike, that is a far comedown in dignity from his recent NATO commander post, in Europe, where formality is so strictly observed in the upper brackets. At a recent conference, a reporter shot a poison-tipped and loaded question at the General. If it was not designed only as a smear, that was at least one of the natural reactions. It concerned the General's membership in an organization, the leader of which has been accused of Communist sympathy. It was obviously a hot political question, and the General obviously got hot. Eisenhower reddening noticeably, shot back — "What did you say? What did you say?" Then, more relaxed, he said: "Ladies and Gentlemen, I don't think it is necessary for me to stand here and defend myself against charges of fascism and communism." The press group roared its applause. To The Editor Of The Memphis World, Stimulated by the effort on the part of the City Council of Civic Clubs to have the Municipal Park and Memphis Zoo, both municipally owned and supported by the Tax Payers money opened to all of its citizen alike. The Hiawatha Club, led by its committee on Education, engaged in a lively discustion, which revealed keen interest in and generous approval of the program. It was observed that St Louis, Chicago, Washington, D C. and New York City have a set a democratic pattern in this matter and have observed it for years without disaster. It is believed, that the white people of Memphis are as fine as the white people of St. Louis, Chicago, Washington, or New York City have set a demgroes are on par with Negroes in these other sections. Then it stands to reason that we can demonstrate that we are not tardy in our ability to get along with, each other. Even though some fear was expressed by one, lest we we go. "Too Fast" it was the general opinion of the members present, that there is no better time than now to begin true democratic practices. Rosa Brown Bracy, For the Hiawatha Club Confab Set Up To Study Bias Status The status of the all-out light against segregation being ward by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will be discussed and studied in two half-day sessions on Thursday, June 26, at the 43rd annual NAACP convention to by held in Oklahoma City, Thursday Marshal, NAACP special counsel, and Daniel E.

PARSON by: ALICE ROSS COLVER CHAPTER TWENTY OUT OF THE corner of his eye Donald could see Anne taking a place next to someone he did not know. Mrs. Atwood Had gone to the back of the room where Gus had shrunk into a corner beside Mary. Sam, upon entering, had dropped inconspicuously into the old armchair left empty by Barth, and was quite alone. "First, let me introduce to you your new Group Leader for the year. To some of you he is already known. You have met him in school. To those of you not so fortunate, this is Donald Kent, my next-door neighbor and very good friend. He will work with you this winter taking charge of all the meetings. I, myself, im not deserting you—don't think it—but will content myself with a background role." He turned to Don. aid. "Now will you take over Donald, and tell our friends here something about our guest speaker whom you invited to be with us tonight?" Donald rose. He was easy and confident. His enthusiasm over what He had to say seemed to go out in waves to his audience. Anne listening, yet not listening thought, "Maybe things are all right again between us. I don't know. I hope so but I don't know.' "—and so Captain Mapes has come back to us with marks of honor. I'm sure he has some interesting tales to tell of the places he has been and the things he has seen and done. I'm sure, because I've already heard some of them Captain Mapes, will you step up here now and give an account of yourself, please?" He gave his quick brilliant smile to the man who, until that moment unnoticed by most of them, rose and move forward with his shy half-smile. "I'll do my best, sir." At the sound of his melodious voice there was a flurry in the fifth row. A girl rose and, with her coat over her arm, began push ing her way out. Donald looked at her in Uncertainty. Barth, sunk in the armchair again, held himself still in an alert quiet. Sam waited Constance stepped up quickly from the back of the room and met her in the aisle before the big back door. In the silence her low question and Cynthia Randall's answer were plainly audible. "Is there anything the matter my dear?" "I just don't care to remain here, that's all." She snatched open the back door and marched out. No one followed Sam began to speak, telling them of Army life. On the Monday before Christmas, Barth stood in line for the opening of the morning show at the Radio City Music Hall. This was a regular relaxation for him. The week, which was always full with its sick calls and its meetings and its plans for his talks and sermons, together with his own private work on astronomy, this busy week always reached its climax in the Sunday morning service. But he was taut until the Youth Group had disbanded in the evening. Then, the next day, feeling drawn into a knot inside him sell, he made for New York and the great amusement place, where, for a few hours, all his duties and responsibilities and nagging uncertainties slipped from him. What gave him physical and spiritual restoration was the vast dark quiet, the soft magic of the changing lights, the miraculous stage effects, and the magnificent organ music. Presently he was inside and moving toward the area where he most enjoyed sitting. The organ was already playing. He sank down, at once lost in a happy solitude and unmindful of the restrained jostling and pushing of the figures, mostly women and children, who were crowding around and past him. His Christmas sermon was on his mind, a nebulous shape so far but it would come to him. There was so much to be said in these stirring times. What he would like to do would be to speak of the Seven Stars that, forming a Crown, always shine most brightly each December on the night of Jesus' birth in the armament above the land where the Christian faith was born. There was a meaning to that. It was, he felt, an impressive and symbolic reminder to the world of the Brotherhood of Man. The organ music changed. The lights shifted softly, and the outer curtain rolled silently up. Barth stretched out his long legs and let his mind wander. His thoughts went on, how, at a time when man had succeeded in bringing so much under his control, he still had not learned how to direct his personal relationships with his family, his community, or his world. What was needed, of course, was a strong spiritual unifying principle that would admit and establish the rights of God in everyday affairs. God had been left out. The second curtain rolled up The show had begun with a great chorus of singing men and women His eyes were held by the spectacle before him, his soul was stirred by the soaring music, but his mind was 'yet free. The idea of a Union Service occurred to him. A gathering together of all the followers of the Lord to discuss this matter which, he felt, was the great challenge of the era. Presently the lights faded and then slowly came out brightly to reveal a room with an enormous Christmas tree in the center of the stage. Toys were set about under it. Santa Claus was emerging with is pack from the fireplace. Busily he went about distributing his gifts when lo, these came to sudden life! A jack-in-the-box popped out to leap around in ecstatic musing capers. A doll woke from her sleep, sat up, and began to cry, "Ma-ma!" Tin soldiers marched. When the show had concluded, the feature film began and Barth lost himself in its spell. Ultimately he was recalled to himself by the movement of those about him. The time had come to go. Already the next crowd was surging down the aisles and people were pushing out past him. While Barth was at Radio City, Joe was at the telephone in his house calling Anne. "Hi, beautiful. What's cooking tonight? Anything?" "Oh, Joe, I'm afraid so. I sort of have something planned." "Anything important?" "Well——" "I thought we might go bowling" "Sounds nice but—I guess not this evening, Joe. Thanks." "Hey! That's the second time in five days you've turned me down! Don't you love me any more,?" He meant to sound facetious, but there was an edge to his voice. He had been patient since September. How much time did a girl need to make up her mind, anyway? There was a limit lo everything. "Don't be silly. You know last week I simply had to go to the Twings' party." "Just don't forget we've got a date for a week from Saturday. That's all." "The New Year's Eye dance at the Country Club, you mean. No, I won't, forget... Oh, by, the way, It's all right to take Donald Kent along with us to that, isn't, it? He's not a member but I've arranged it all right And as long as we're picking up Midge and her brother anyway, you don't mind, do you? I thought it would be nice for him to meet Midge and some more of the young people in town O.K.?" He hesitated a moment, but only for a moment. After all, she was always doing something like that for someone, It wasn't because, it was Kent. That schoolteacher! That poor dope! "O.K.," he said. "Fine. Thanks. Ill be seeing you."

How many times has the magic word Cheese done the trick when, you sat rigidly before the camera too tense to give it your very charming smile? Not only does cheese said into a camera produce a pleasing smile, but you'll smile when you think of how this dairy product saves you from many hours of cooking over the not stove. Cheese will also win you a lot of broad grins when you serve it to the family in she form of a salad on hot sweering days. The story of cheese is an interesting one and makes good conversation over a cheese platter of a munchy cheese salad. Like all antiquated things, the story of cheese making varies according to locality or who is telling it. But we do know that cheese was the first prepared food to be sold, and at one time the ingredients and methods of making it were top secrets in certain localities and even by some families for generations. In many cases, the people didn't understand or know the exact ingredients that accounted for a typical flavor or texture for example, a certain cave might have been used for ripening, and in this cave would be found all the factors that were responsible for a particular type of cheese - like maybe, a constant temperature and humidity, and the bacteria or mold that were required. Cheese is such an old product that many of the varieties made here in America are copied from other countries. However, American has produced several distinctive varieties that are not found elsewhere Perhaps the most truly American varieties are Cheddar and Cottage Cheese. Cheddar is most popular for cooking because homemakers can prepare almost any degree of sharpness they like. Cottage cheese has a more bland flavor that blends well with other foods, especially fruits Many people enjoy it best when eaten alone directly from the carton. The whole cheese picture is an interesting and dramatic one whether seen in your smile when caught by the camera or seen on your dining room table piled, high on a salad. For economy,' good nutrition, taste appeal, serve attractive, cheese salads often. Salads like the one below, can act as the main dish at a luncheon meal and will certainly bring you may smiles. Serve it with peanut butter finger sandwiches, celery and olives, milk and coffee. Sieve cottage cheese. Combine with mayonnaise and sugar and stir until well blended Fold to fruit, cherry juice, and nuts. Freeze in refrigerator tray at coldest temperature until solid. Slice and serve on lettuce. Serves 6. FROZEN FRUIT SALAD BY GRACE WATSON Say "Cheese."

When I was in my tender teens, in my teachable twenties, in my tireless thirties, in my fiery forties, in my forceable fifties, I little dreamed one's feelings in his serious sixties, or in his sacred seventies, or in his aching eighties. I couldn't. Now I am West of sixty. Unlike some ... I don't dread old age. As the fruit is better than the blossom, West of sixty is better than youth. It is "the last of life for which the first was made " So come, "grow old along with me; the best is yet to be." "You are growing old, they tell us Every year. You are more alone, they tell us every year. You can win no new affection; You have only recollection. Deeper sorrows and dejection every year But the true life draws higher every year. And the morning star climbs higher every year. Earths hold on us grows slighter; And the heavy burden lighter; And the dawn immortal brighter every year. The first stanza a bit pessimistic; the second stanza a bit optimistic West of sixty has its evening glories. What are a few of life's evening glories? One glory is a ripened faith, another is sweetened tolerance ("men are like peaches they grow sweet with age"), another is wisdom, another is spiritual beauty, another is fruitfulness . . . sheaves ready for harvest. The Prophet Zechariah penned: "But it shall come to pass, that at the evening time it shall be light." At the evening time of retrospect shall be light; at the evening time of conviction it shall be light; at the evening time of anticipation it shall be light. As the saint of God grows older and older, he gets closer and closer to him who said, "I am the light of the world." The nearness and love of Christ fill the life of the aged saint while the hoary haired saint's life rolls into the evening. To you who are not west of sixty, remember there are two groups, hungering for attention and love: The little child and the old person, Give them attention, give them love. They are hungry for your love. The old person feels so alone, so lonesome. Old people feel they are forgotten, neglected, put on a shelf. Remember as they are so you will be if you remain on earth long enough If you are East of sixty, resolve, that when you reach the watershed of life, when your evening shall have come, the sunset of your life will gild with gold everything' It touches . . . and leave behind an after-glow so beautiful that no painter can catch it on canvas, no poet can describe its beauties in words. There is a light in the valley of senility ... that light is Jesus. "WEST OF SIXTY" I am West of sixty. When I was in my tender teens, in my teachable twenties, in my tireless thirties, in my fiery forties, in my forceable fifties, I little dreamed one's feelings in his serious sixties, or in his sacred seventies, or in his aching eighties.

REVIEWING THE NEWS By WILLIAM GORDON The dedication of the newly constructed Hughes Spalding Pavilion, a hospital in Atlanta for Negroes Sunday, began a new chapter in the book of health and constructive community achievement. It could be plainly seen that a new mark had been reached in the field of better race relations and community advancement for the people of the Atlanta metropolitan area and the deep South. "The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers as a state depend," has become a universal saying among those who realize the scope of its importance. For communities lacking in adequate hospitalization and proper medical care for the population,, dedication of this new hospital may serve as an inspiration and stimulus for others to do likewise. The experience that has been accomplished by the lanta Community, may serve as guideposts to action in other communities throughout the nation. Georgia's and the nation's health problems are numerous. These problems have telling effects in that they take within their scope the conditions of both races. The problems in the field of health have always been both complex and varied. One of the chief factors in hospital medical care has been the shortage of adequate medical personnel. This of times stems from the fact that there are too few hospitals in the first place, and little or none in the position to offer training facilities for internes and residents. The dedication of this new hospital is destined to be a step forward in this direction, for out of its facilities will be provided the equipment to offset these shortcomings. The facilities of this ultra-modern health institution along with a well planned program, will make it possible for internes and other hospital personnel to obtain the training necessary for good hospital administration. In many areas of the world no field of democratic action offers greater promise, than that of public health. Even though this new hospital is not completely a charitable institution, its rates and services go a long way in helping to relieve the pressure of community hungry for more and better health facilities. The coming of this new hospital is a good indication that things in the South are getting better for all of us.
