Presi dent Truman stressed the impor tance of Brotherhood Week at a time "when none can doubt the urgency of its reminder that men of all creeds and races are bound together in one common fate." It is important that we in America give thoughtful atten tion to the subject of brotherhood for our country is made up of many races, nationalities and re ligions. In order to keep our na tion united and strong, these dif ferent groups must work and live harmoniously, each supporting the causes of democracy, justice and fair play. It is the duty of Americans to be certain that our attitudes are right. We must not judge groups, but each person as an individual. It may be said that brotherhood is giving to others the same rights and respect that we want for our selves.

BUSY WITH EXPERIMENTS The chemistry class has been busy with experiments for the last two weeks. Allen Little spent his time making green ink. Rebecca Haynes tested the water for iron, but evidently there was not any since her erperiment proved no precipitate. No one thinks her experiment could have been wrong! Martha Waldrop and June Daniell spent their time dyeing flowers and ma terials. Wade Hamrick mixed capper sulfate and powdered iron —he pondered over the reaction for a few minutes, but after a little study, was able to explain it. . While everyone was so busy working with his individual ex periment, one novel chemist slip ped into the lab room and cre ated a mixture of sulfus and iron metal. There is no need for ex planation of the results because I anyone who knows anything about chemistry will wonder how !the students could stay in the r building. Immediately the win . dows were raised. These are only examples of B. R. KIRKLEY CHEVROLET, Inc. the interesting things that can go on in a chemistry lab. Read ers will be notified later how good Lyndell Ogle's soap proves to be. . .•?-Qm F. T. A. HOLDS REGULAR MEETING Pearl Price Club, Future Teachers of America, met last Tuesday morning.
