Blessings at Year’s End
“I remember with
the fruits of the labors of
OTHERS, which I have shared
as a part of the normal experi-
ence of daily living.
‘ I remember the moments of
distress that proved to be
groundless and those that
taught me profoundly about
the evilness of evil and the
goodness of good.
“I remember the new people
1 have met, from whom I have
caught glimpses of the meaning
of my own life and the true
character of human dignity.
"I remember the awareness of
the spirit of God that sought
me out in my aloneness and
gave me a sense of assurance
that undercut my despair and
confirmed my life with nev
courage and abiding hope”

<Sff
Always hang hoes, rakes and
other sharp pointed garden
tools “heads up” on a wall in
the workshop after using.
For safety’s sake, don’t
leave gardening tools lying
around on the ground when
you’re not using them. This
is a prime reason for count¬
less painful accidents that oc¬
cur to children and adults
during the gardening season.

rtca is at stake In the questions
before the Commission," she
emphasized. "And the evil of
profit obsession appears to be
the sole way of determining the
quality and leyel of program¬
ming.”
Some of the Commissioners
seemed surprised when she re¬
minded them that no Negroes
hold positions as announcers,
news reporters, ^ sports report¬
ers, host entertainers, religious
jr educational speakers on net¬
work broadcasting programs. As
madians of public interest,
he challenged the commission-'
:rs to eliminate the practice of
excluding Negroes in network
xroadcasting.
FCC Has Power To Act
She assured .them that they
-ave vast power to act In this
ii eetion since Congress has
,iven them the mandate to tss-
le licenses and to review per-
ormances ,of licensees as a
■ondition to license renewal.
Chairman John C. Doefer con-
ended that tihey did not have
he power to explore this issue
since they are not permitted
to raise the Question of race or
re ugj on on station program-

this . subject, , . , but if the ,, commis-
should adopt a democratic
attitude and make their posi¬
tion known it would certainly
help eliminate some of the pro¬
blems of minorities.
The chairman claimed It 13
difficult to try to dictate the
business policy of a station. And
he rebelled against the demo¬
cratic approach of “throwing
your weight around” to accom¬
plish any end.
