" 4BBlccounUble reason- Miss Madie had no wish t0
cross swords with Emma Lou therefore she made no protest to
tar recent out bum demand that she pack her junk and get out
becaiaw tar services were no longer needed. She steadied her
recta body against the impact of the low blow, but her Hps
refused to "am ita day" her assailant was born. Perhaps she
refused out of respect for "Mister Ben" or she was out right
fearful of the woman; nevertheless, she made no outcries.
JJtaiua Lou closed the door behind the last of the neighbors i he
moment the crippled woman crossed the threshold. "That old
soul should be home making up her own dying bed. With one
foot in the grave, 1 don't see how she made it here to nose
around."
Miss Madie, out of habit, dried her hands on her apron. This
oluntary action seemed to have been the key to unlock the door
of her penned in-mobility, because, suddently she began darting
about the room, starightening dollies, chairs, rugs, even the
wobbly shade of the table lamp. She had been planning for weeks
to replace the shade with a new one, but time and money were
.n Nimmiuttio chP was alwavs fresh out of. She said, more to
herself, really, than to the carvorting sister-in-law; "this old shade
has seed its best days."
"Forget the lamp shade, this apartment, my
daddy-everthing-just be on your merry way." Emma Lou
blurted out.
Surprisingly enought, to Miss Madie, the knots in her tongue
had disapperared and she was in instant business "once more 'n
again." Angrily, she retorted; "I've seed enough of your behind
for one day. Mah advice to you is plain 'n simple, go back to
South Hill before it's a day 'n time too late to save the last part of
you going ovah th' fence."
"What did you say?" Emma Lou stopped still for the first time
in a long while, to make sure her ears weren't deceiving her.
"I don't chew my 'bacco but once '4 that go for th' number of
times I spit."
Emma Lou sighed laborously-" I'm locking this joint up as
soon as the undertaker comes for my daddy's body-my advice to
you b plain 'n simple, get your stuff and get out!"
"You sound like-ah-fooL woman. Most of th' stuff, as you call
it, in this 'part-ment is mine. I'll move when I can-and, for
information, 1 ain't toting nothing away from to hear your head
mar.
Emma Lou's pride suddenly shattered; she was no match for
this contakerous old biddy; she said, lamely; "i m going w nave
Curtis starighten you out, but good."
Miss Madie laughed; "Curtis comes before me like-ah-goad-vine
mnnino 'n stinkuw. Th dav my brother comes to me, to
straighten me out for you, that's th' day he'll wish to God he had
been born as tumble-turd.
"Hnw do vou sound?" Emma Lou gasped.
"You'll get th' message. There'll be more cleaning up mess than
h6' bargained for."
Emma Lou succussed her, "the undertaker is coming-we'll
hash this matter out at a later date."
"Suits me, suit yourself, honey chile; but th' later th' better if
vou ask sookie."
Kmma Lou gesticulating frantically with her hands, hissed; be
quiet! I don't want Mr. Sudten to think we all are crazy."
Miss Madie walked into the kitchen and stood at the sink
looking out of the window. She had a bone to pick with Emma
Lou, and the sooner her daddy's corpse was out of the apartment,
the sooner she could get on with the business of plucking an over
stuffed chick.
Standing where she was, she could hear most of what was going
on i ide the living room but she made it a point not to watch
"Mister Ben's body being carried out on the stretchers. Plain
stubborness held her fast to the side of the sink. Coot Sudten's
bathos filled voice, seemingly, had wrung tears from the resolute
eyes of the bereaved daughter, her mind remained fixed; "a
decent burial is all I'm paying for, Mr. Sudtea Notmng snowy.
Then she boo-hooed.
"A puke of misery." Miss Madie muttered under her breath.
Then she heard a familiar vocie and was tmeped to turn around to
make sure her guest was correct. The rich, olily voice was smooth
as dlk-disturbingly sensous: "you have my deepest sympathy-I
came as soon as I heard. How's Miss Madie. I'm sure she si deeply
moved by Mister Ben's death. She was so devoted to him, I am
sure she is profoundly hurt. She was very much attached to your
dear father. Where s Miss Madie now? If hse is resting, I
understand fully."
Emma Lou walked away slowly, weeping into the well of her
hands.
Miss Madie sped from the sink to the doorway and called out
to Jeffery Alexander Boykins; "Jeff Boykins! you old rascal, you
are good for the sore eyes- 'cept I don't have sore eyes."

Love? Companionship? Pro
tection? Faithfulness?
All that and more, according
to Dr. Boris Levinson, noted
clinical psychologist and au
thor of "Pets and Human De
velopment." He sums it up as pets' psy
chological value to people
coping in a society beset by
fear, insecurity, distrust, irus
tration and anxiety.
Dr. Levinson's research re
lates people's need for pets
with unfulfilled basic human
needs. Let's look at some ex
amples given, starting with the
need for closeness and com
munion with nature.
Many of today's anxieties are
due to people's alienation from
nature in their day-to-day
lives. A pet revives our sense
of kinship with nature. Car
ing for a pet restores our
sense of wellbeing and com
pletion. And in a city apart
ment, having a pet is often
one's only approach to nature.
Some Other Examples
Other examples span our
lifetime from childhood to old
age. In large urban areas many
people live alone, especially
the elderly with few friends
and whose world grows in
creasingly smaller. A pet
means companionship, a rea
son to get out and make con
tact with other people. Dog
walkers stop and talk with one
another. For some, their pet is
a lifeline to life and reality.
Children derive many bene
fits from pets. A dog or cat
Mils a child's need to fondle
something soft and cuddly. A
dog always gives unquestioning
affection. It never criticizes
or deserts its young friend,
happily greets the homecoming
each day regardless of the
child's school grades or the
outcome of games won or lost,
and is ready to play or just
sit and "listen" to his friend's
troubles. The child's self-esteem
is restored.

The German Shepherd
A child learns responsibility
from caring for a pet, and de
rives gratification from doing
something for someone else.
Children and grownups de
velop a sense of consideration
for others through pets. A re
sponsive animal won't tolerate
abuse or neglect, so pets also
teach that to be loved, you
must give love.
Another lesson is in pa
tience and self-control, learned
when helping with training the
pet. The child finds that shout
ing or hitting the dog doesn't
work, but gentleness and un
derstanding does.
So, people need pets for
many reasons. And remember
that pets need people, too.
Give yours a nourishing diet
containing the necessary vita
mins and minerals such as
ALPO provides. Don't over
feed, and always have fresh
water available. And regular
health checkups by your vet
erinarian can prolong your
pet's life many years.

Deck the halls with hospitality is an every day expression with
Hospitality Committee at Union Baptist Church. However these
good hostesses know it's the little thouches that really count in
showing appreciation.
The colorful, handsome wreaths of evergreens, holly and
berries and mistletoe, hanging on each side of the wide white
doors, are eloquent expressions of Christmas; Members and
friends are once again reminded to pause a moment from the
hustle-bustle which weoweourselves to become victims of each
year, and reflect upon the real meaning of the holiday. Aside
from expressing a cordial Merry Christmas to one and all, there is
a profound Christian Message in the makings of the handsome
wreaths. '''C'-1--') :
The wreaths symbolizes Christ's unending, unwavering faith
and represents immortality ; the Mistletoe is the symbol of peace;
the evergreens represents Christ's triump over adversity and death
and are symbolic of eternal life; the Holly and berries represent
Christ's crown of throns and his drops of blood.
Mrs. Pauline Boxley, Chairman of the Hospitality Committee
and its "wreath" of "sunshine people" who make up the U.B.C
Hospitality Committee are hapDV to Sty in behalf of Pastor, Dr.
Gnd D. Davb, officers and members; "we wish for one and all,
God's blessings upon you at Christmas and always. To all of our
visitors during the year: You'rd often In our thoughts and

friendly, out-going child-Anellc.
During the Yuletide Season, we hear and say the word "angel"
more often than at any season.
Angel: a being above man but below God serving as an
intermediary or messenger of God. Jesus mentions the guardian
angels of children (Matt: 18:10). The Archangels Michael,
Gaberiel, and Raphael are especially distinguished in Christian
tradition. The Pseudo Dionysius divided the angels into nine
choirs of ranks: seraphim, Cherubim, thrones, domination,
virtures, powers, principalities, anncangels, and angels. The
serphim are described as six winged (Isa. 6:2) as having four winga
and four faces (Ezk. 1 :6)
The loveliest, most sublime of the Christmas Carols is Silent
Night! Holy Night!
Silent night! Holy night!

And glory shone around, etc.
For Christ is born of Mary;
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep
The angels keep the watch of wondering love.
Tyrone Brooks Now
SCLS'S Nat'l Dir.
Of Communications
ATLANTA, GA. Re?.
Ralph David Abernathy baa
appointed longtime Civil and
Human Ri ghts Activist
TYRONE BROOKS to a
national post in the Southern
Christian Leadership
Conference (SCLC). Brooks, a
27 year old bachelor recently
resigned from the local SCLC
chapter in Atlanta where he
was serving as Executve
Director. It has long been
predicted around Atlanta that
Brooks would return to the.
National SCLC because he has
? bedn working very c$sejy with
Dr. Abernathy since the
beginning of August when
SCLC held its most exciting
convention in Indianapolis,
Indiana. Brooks had stated
publicly that he wanted to
assist Dr. Abernathy in his
attempts to re-organize and
revitalize the 16 year old
Organization. Brooks has an
impressive 10 year record of
participation with the
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference.
During those 10 years
Brooks has served in Executive
positions with several Labor
and business organizations. He
was elected, just recently, to
the Board of Directors of
O.I.C. In Atlanta. In naming
Brooks to the National post
Dr. Abernathy said: "There is
not a more dedicated warrior
around the movement than
Tyrone. He has always been
with the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference because
he is truly a committed
Freedom Fighter who works
long and hard in any thing he
involves himself in. He has
supported the Conference and
worked actively in my office
when he had other
employment. In 1972, he
resigned from a very lucrative
position in business to help
organize and work with our
local chapter here in Atlanta
where he performed as
Executive Director excellently
well.
I have wanted him to return
to my staff for a long time.
Now that he has returned I feel
confident that our work will be
known to people all over the
Nation and throughout the
World. He will head the office
of ComminCommunications
serving as my National
Director. Divisions of his office
will include the following:
Public Relations, News, Martin
Luther King Speaks, Soul
Force, Drum Major,
Photography Research, Films
snd Productions, Periodicals,
Printing, General Information.
It is my feeling and the
feeling of the entire staff and
Board of Directors that we
couldn't have found a better
man for this very important
and vital position". Funds are
needed to run this huge
operation and we are seeking
your financial contribution.
