LIBtiRiY i-OR ALL
'K. uisctu-i' and seven years ao our fathers set forth
ttpi!i mis continent a new nation conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that all men are created free
i nd equal." Thus pn rased in Lincoln's immortal Gettys-
burg Addiess is the ideal that was the cornerstone upon
winch America was built.
Tndav. eightv-ei.ejit years later we are still fighting to
make that ideal ii reality. In lf!!)8 1918 and 1941 our youth
died i-n toreiun battlefields to uphold that ideal. Even at
this hour the thunder of war can be heard coming across
the seas. The United States is arming to defend herself
against foreign invasion but what are we doing to main-
tain equality within our own boundaries?
Roosevelt Truman and others have tried to legislate
racial equality but they have failed. We fought the Civil
War to gam equality but we failed. Where then can we
begin anew? Where lies the answer?
The answer lies on the campus of Howard Payne Col-
lege. Her students along with the students of the other col-
leges of the South will determine whether we advance or
retreat.
A preacher of the Gospel stood before the J.linisterial
Council last Tuesday evening and brought one of the best
messages it lias been the privilege of that body to hear. He
was just like any other man of God except that his skin
was black. When that meeting was oer one of our minis-
terial students was heard to remark "I don't guess it makes
any diilerence what color your skin is does it?"
Does it make a difference? Should one man have the
right to vote the right to an education the right to a job
and security while another is kicked into the gutter be-
cause his skin is darker?
Let us emphasize once again that we can not legislate
equality If we do only strife will result and we can ac-
complish nothing that way. Let us pray that the day may
soon come when we all realize our God created all men and
that deep within where we find the things which really
count He made them all alike.
IMPROVEMENTS
The Howard Payne campus has had its face lifted with
the addition of two tennis courts west of Taylor Hall. The
now courts are the answer to a long standing need of the
College.
Since the old courts were removed to make way for
new buildings it has been necessary for students to go as
lar away as Coggin Park to obtain equipment for this type
of recreation. It is certainly a relief to tennis fans to have
these facilities within walking distance of the dormitories.
The two new tennis courts face Fisk avenue and are
well constructed of cement and asphalt. Permanent tarred
in ts have been erected across them. Water drainage is fast
is the courts have been built
uickstops are unusually well
u ire strung on steel poles imbedded in cement.
This new recreational equipment is a welcome addition
t our facilities. Let us keep it new by exorcising reason-
able care and caution in our use of the courts. The nets are
expensive and well-made but like anything else will not
last if they are abused.
Many students are anxious to use the courts often at
the same time Surely we shall remember others and limit
the number of games played at one time or play doubles
whenever possible so that everyone might have equal op-
portunity to enjoy the use of this fine equipment.
The erection of these tennis courts is a long step toward
making the Howard Payne campus one of the most complete
in the state. All look forward to that day in the near fu-
ture when the Library and other buildings will be built and
that goal reached.

plete wuh whirs jet LiiRine. and instruments.
Here each Cadet climbs into the eoekqit and learns the pro-
cedures of take-offs tutns and landings. The simulated fliRhts are
indicated on two sets of instruments the leRular instruments in
the cockpit and another set in a nearby control buildiiiR for the in-
sliuctor and other Cadets to watch. Thus the instructor can simulate
failuie of the various eiiRine and aircraft systems so that the stu-
dent will become quick in siRhtinR discrepancies that might occur
while flying.
i'll Tell The World
BY GENE TOMLIN
Funerals are never looked up-
on as very inspiring affairs. In
fact most people consider them
necessary but unpleasane exper-
iences. However there are the vulture-type
individuals who flock
to funerals so that they may oh
and ah at the beautiful flowers
'lhey come so that they may ex-
claim over the splendid way the
pieacher purred about the gener-
osity and good neighborlmess of
the deceased. They are also
also eager to see if the soloist has
taken any more voice lessons and
if so why it hasn't done her any
good. We overheard one such
grieved soul remark recently.
"That's the cutest funeral I ever
saw"
It is our belief that any com-
munity has some body who
would fall into this catagory
but in one section of our country
(Arkansas mountains to be ex-
act) there seems to be more of
them than usual. It is not our in-
tention to throw stones at any
one because we realize that with
the majority of these people
there is no beastly motive in
their actions. But a funeral of
any person of any faith in any
of the local churches is the sig-
nal for every man woman and
child to come out and pay his re-
spects to the dead.
Funerals become a time for
visiting a time when Henry sees
Cousin Bill for the first time in
"A pretty long spell" and Gran'-
ma Childes sees little Laurie af-
ter all these years and remarks
"My my young'un how you've
growed."
People come from far and near
come early and stay until after
the body is lowered into the
grave. They stand around in lit-
tle groups and talk and shed an
occasional sympathetic tear. But
mostly they just visit "Why

Lower Big Fork!"
i While working in Lower Big
j Fork near Opal Arkansas this
1 summer we witnessed a very
I heartbreaking funeral of a man
I who though he claimed to be a
Christian had not lived a Christ-
like life. His family did not even
claim any type of religion.
Weeping screaming and faint
ing tne members ot tne family
mourned the going of their lov-
ed one.
Attending the last rites service
that day was a man of sixty-six
i who had accepted Christ only
I two years earlier after a sinful
I fruitless life. He listened to the
1 "carrying-in" as long as he could
and then stood shouted for at-
tention and began to preach at
the top of his voice as the tears
rolled clown his cheeks:
"If you knew God you would-
' n't be acting like this . . . what
we all need is God! I lived with-
out Him too long but Praise God
' I've got Him now. I don't care
what you say about me. Laugh if
you want to but as long as God
puts it in my heart I'm going to
tell it. People I'll tell the
WORLD!" We bowed our heads
and breathed "Amen."

BOOK NOOK
THE LONELY
By Paul Gallico Alfred A. Knopf

"The Lonely" are the too-
young conquerors of space and
time the boys-become-men who
have lived between the worlds
in the silver ships that sail to
war and back through the frosty
li 111 ii. .1 n
"They are the children of the
sky the wanderers who cannot
find their homes. The lonely
are those who have come too
close to Heaven and Hell before
.i i .1' .'
Lieutenant Jerry Wright is one
of these thousands of young boys
who have become men overnight.
One who leaves home parents
girl friends and their way of
life and goes into a man's world
where the bullet is law and
drinking is an escape from the
terrible realities of everyday liv-
n .
This is Jerry's story of his
love his family and the new life
he finds in the Air Corps. It
tells of the trials he goes through
in learning to cope with the prob-
lems of being a man. Having
always' had a devoted family to
help in all his decisions and
wealth and prominence to back
him he finds it hard to face and
overcome the realities of a man's
world.
Although the book is small un-
like many of the novels of today
it gives the picture of today's
youth and holds the attention of
the reader until the Jast page.
