How Long Selma?
Wonder how long Selma will
be with us?
Apparently they’re going to
squeeze the
, last ounce of
blood ar.d pub
ai out of
|Lu, S' this dramatic
8® $Sr 4m which instead
Fib cJ ■ of hanging on

the powers that be in Washing

Johnson’s domestic policy is
about as bad as his foreign
po l icy and the Lord knows that
smells to the high heavens.
Birth control is something
that’s going to be difficult to
invoke. Great numbers of peo
ple will be opposed. And yet,
how is this world going to
function with any degree of
intelligence without birth con
trol?
They say by the year 2,000
we will have three times the
mouths to feed that we have
now.
There was an editorial in our
paper a few weeks ago titled,
“Who Shall Tell us How Many
Children We Shall Have?”
Well, this department doesn’t
pretend to have the complete
answer but it has one answer:
Somebody had better tell us
how many children we can have
or we’re all going to be a lost
ball. Not a few of us, but all
of us.
To be sure, there are cer
tain areas that need most at
tention in that. No. 1 might be
India. No. 2 might be China.
Certainly no worse than No. 3
must be the American Negro.

Exclusive Viet USO Club
Right On Cong Borderline
They’ve opened a new club in
Danang, Vietnam, right on the
borderline separating South
Vietnam from Viet Cong to
the north.
“It’s surrounded by barbed
wire. Its one entrance is hea
vily guarded. A member may
glance out of the window any
day and see a bloody riot.
Its membership is exclusive.
Only servicemen and personnel
with proper authorized identity
cards are ever admitted. It’s
a U.S.O. club, and the only
USO Club without volunteer
workers. They all left when
United States dependents were
ordered home.
Soldiers keep the ping pong
balls bouncing, the stereo juke
box swinging, the conversation
buzzing and the snack bar pack

ard Cosmetics, and stage co
ordination will be done by Pa

are being coached privately for
their presentation of a dancing

the contestants were dinner
guests of the Morrow Lions

Night meeting.
Proceeds from the pageant
will go into a fund toward a

they can spend at the Club.
They leave early. There’s cur
few these days in Danang.
In spite of all the restric
tions, an average of 150 ser
vicemen enjoy the Club every
day. Several traveled 20 dan
gerous miles to attend the grand
opening because the scuttlebutt
was that ice cream would be
served. It was.
Dave Robinson of Atlanta, re
gional director of the USO, a
service of the United Appeal,
received a letter last week
from the assistant director of
the Danang USO Club. This, in
part, is what he wrote: “Yes,
there are things which make
a person want to come home
—the bombings, killings, se
curity measures, riots, demon
strations. Things such as not
being able to go to town, pull
ing guard duty, putting up with
the weather, checking the flower
pots for bombs and never enough
hot water for a decent shower.
I guess, however, these are
what make the job such a chal
lenge. I am sure all of us will
come through all right so please?
don’t worry about us, and most
of all don’t pull us out of here.”
