) PAGE TWO CLARION FEBRUARY 11, 1955 Editorial Comments... MANNERS - Mutilated or Manipulated? To mutilate or to manipulate . . . that is the question. Whether ’tis better to act decently or doggedly in the cafe teria. Now is the time for decision. Shall I be a line break er, a loud mouth, a “sloppy” ... or shall I be a courteous, considerate, well-mannered, more human being? Shall I mutilate or manipulate manners? What is your answer? Creative Corner BROTHERHOOD (Taken from MOTIVE) '"With malice toward none, with charity for all , . .” -A. Lincoln. In the year 1934, some 300 communities in the United iStates shook off the doldrums of the then current depres sion long enough to observe something called Brotherhood Day. The observance caused only a ripple of response in the participating communities and it received virtually no xiational recognition. But to a ^oup of men and women banded together in an organizaition known as the National 'Coference of Christians and Jews, that day in April, 1934, was exciting and inspirational. And in Denver, Colorado, a 'Catholic priest, Monsignor Hugh McMenamin, was seeing tJie fulfillment of an idea he had almost casually proposed 4o the National Conference two years previously. Today, i&e annual observance has taken on all the character of an American institution with more than 10,000 communities participating. Since 1940, the Brotherhood Week dates have always been the full week that includes Washington’s birthday: this year, February 20-27. The 1955 theme is *‘One Nation Under God.”—1955 Brotherhood Week Cam paign. "Am I my brother^s keeper?” .. . Through thousands of years there have been many noble answers to this same question, answers which brave ly affirm that all men—of all religions, of all colors, of al languages—'are in fact brothers, that no man can live alone Sat in every age the question is asked, and in every age it .most be answered anew.—Dwight D. Eisenhower. The time will come, and soon I hope, when Brother- Itood Week will be a reminder not of the presence of dis crimination in our midst, but of its eradication.—^Bernarc Saruch. ,,, just about all the barriers known to human relation- Our creative wiork this time is written by Julie Harris, of Gasto nia, N. C. When autumn touehest with her brush the trees. And in their height of glory, calms their green, Burnishing with fire to coppery tones. All nature pauses and in breathless wonderment. It’s awed and stilled to see God walk upon the earth. Then winter comes, and ushered by the North wind’s icy blasts, She sprinkles Mother Nature’s eyes with sands of sleep. Now God’s world rests, as all things must And slumbering ’neath its snowy coverlet Spends Sabbath Day in calm tran quility. At last is spring, and once again the earth awakes. The valleys yawn, the breezes sigh, The alarum-il>eU of robin’s trill greets Each morh the infant rays of sunny skies. God smiles, the earth brings forth, First hesitant, as a child’s, first steps. Then tumultously, as he learns to run.

Manolin, the boy who was his helper, had been forced to leave him for a luckier (boat. The old man had been a good fisherman and had tau^t the boy everything he knew. Fishing was his livelihood and he had been so long now ■ without a fish that it was only the food brought by the Iboy that kept him alive. In The Old Man and The Sea Hemingway has presented his greatest work to date. A short book, only 27,000 words, it has none of the tough style which has become synonymous with Hemingway’s name in the last two decades. The toughness is still there but the style has changed considerably. The old man is a simple fisherman who practices humility without knowing why or when he attained it. He is not the Nick Adams or the Robert Jordan of earlier novels; he is sim ply a man and his experience with the sea is that of a iman pitted against his fate. On the 85th day the old man had felt that he would be lucky. He started early and by daybreak he had rowed his sixteen foot skiff well out to sea. He quickly hooked a big marlin and tried to surface him The fish was too strong for him and began pulling the boat. 'He towed the boat steadily for two days and two nights with the old man holding the line all of the Ump to prevent its breaking. The marlin surfaced once during that time. It was the biggest fish the old man had ever seen and bigger than he had ever heard of. The old man held the marlin for two nights and two days, living on a few swallows of water and some raw fish. At the end of that time the marlin was exhausted and the old man succeeded in killing him with a harpoon. With the fish tied to the side of his sViff the old man turned about for home. On the way marauding sharks attacked. The old man kill ed as many as he could: “The shark closed fast astern and when he hit the fi^ the old man saw his mouth open and his strange eyes and the clicking chop of the teeth as he drove forward in the meat just albove the tail. The shark’s head' was out of the water ^Tum To Page Seven ships are to be found in the secretariat housed in that tow ering slab of glass, marble and metal at 42nd and First ave nue in New York City. But we find that these barriers are remarkably fragile. All of these people, so widely diver sified in origin and background, work and play together in impressive harmony. Genuine friendships cut across all lilies; social and athletic clubs are formed on the sole basis of common interests; there is an easy informality and cam araderie in relationships; and there is, of course, no little courting and marriage. It is a congenial human company, enriched by its very diversity.—Ralph L. Bunche. If you really believe in the brotherhood of man, and you want to come into its fold, you’ve got to let everyone else in too.—Oscar Hammerstein II.
