5% West ы. жн. іп y ё World This afternoon I saw a sight which I shall never forget. With friends 1 was at a football game: our seats were down by one of the goal-posts. The game, scoreless for a time, was a very exciting one, The two teams kept pushing each other all over the field; the ball was constantly being fumbled and then re- covered; there was a feeling of high tension evident among the spectators. The opposing team worked its way down-to about the ten-yard line, and in a few minutes one of the players shot around end to score, standing up. His team went wild! Throwing their arms around his neck, they kissed him and hit him on the back. At that moment tears came to my eyes, and my heart pounded with happiness. Because of the touch- down? No! My emotions were stirred because the hero of the moment was a Negro and those with their arms around him were white, The color of his skin or their skin did mot matter; they were one out there on the field—one body, one heart, and all with one goal in mind, Thrilled, 1 sat there wonder- ing whether any others of the seventeen thousand present were thinking the same thing as 1. Unknow- ingly these boys were teaching us something; they were showing us that only in unity comes victory. Top Notchers The world of today, a world without unity, is not a very pleasant place. Millions of lives have been spent; there seems no end to sorrow and suffering. Why need this be? Why does not mankind realize that war never settles anything but leads rather to new problems, to heartbreak and misery? Conditions in Europe easily prove the truth of these statements, for nations are still separated by distrust and suspi- cion. Why need this be? Why cannot one nation respect the integrity of another? Why are wars fought? The desire for land, wealth, power—this causes war. To the greedy and overly ambitious these things are worth more than human life, Must the equality of mankind be achieved by causing havoc and destruction? If the people of all countries could have witnessed the game to which I referred, they, too, would realize the value of the individual, regardless of his race, creed, or color. If we could all play on the same team we would soon learn to understand one another; only by understanding and knowing one another can we all work together to make a better world. Mark- ham had the right idea when he said: “Come, clear the way, then, clear the way; Blind creeds and kings have had their day; Break the dead branches from the path; Our hope is in the aftermath— Our hope is in heroic men Star-led to build the world again. Make way for Brotherhood—make way for Man!” Not until we all become members of the greatest team in the world, the team of BROTHERHOOD, shall peace come to the earth. ELEANOR POCHINUK
