Page Six SEW IT SEAMS FEBRUARY ISSUE mmw Brotherhood Week Starts Sun. By Cornelia Otis Skinner This is published in the in terest of Brotherhood Week, Feb-, ruary 13-26, sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews. The fact that racial and re ligious prejudice should, in any form, exist in a great democracy, is an incredible mockery of the very word democracy. It should be considered in the light of a personal disgrace to every citizen of that same democracy. A dis grace as shocking and as tragic as that of the discovery that a near and dear member of one’s family has become a hardened criminal. For prejudice is a crime. It is a crime against the democratic ideal, a crime against the teachings of Christianity, Judaism and the other great re ligions, a crime against human decency and a crime against just plain common sense. Futhermore, it is a 6rime for which every American citizen, directly or in directly, is responsible, if not for its inception, at least for the con tinuance of its presence in our world today. We are responsible because of our apathy in side-stepping the issue, because of our outmoded give-it-time-it-will-cure-itself at titude, because of our kidding ourselves with the preposterous fable that it is a special problem to be solved by the special per sons affected. The problem is our problem, and, as long as pre judice exists in our land, we are the persons affected. The solving of it must be done by us all, each and every man, woman and child of this nation, of every walk of life and of every race, creed or color. It must be solved by our actions, by our words and by our thinking. And if we and our children are to survive as living creatures wor thy of the name of human beings, it must be solved not in a theor etical future, not tomorrow, but now, this very instant. The great secret is not having bad manners or good man)"ers or any other particular sort of man ners, but having the same man ners for all human souls. —George Bernard Shaw From where I’m sitting toler ance is just a big word for peace. War can’t get going where there’s a sympathetic understanding of nation for nation, man for man, and creed for creed. Bing Crosby NEW BLOUSE — Linda Gard ner's blonde beauty sets off this new blouse printed in shades of blue, to perfection. This number, which now is in the Spring line, features a modified spread collar, short sleeves with narrow cuff, yoke and pearl buttons. The shil- louette print is a geometric de sign and also comes in pink and aqua. This same blouse is avail able in chambray in solid shades of blue, aqua, yellow and copper. Linda has been with Anvil Brand two years and works in finishing at White. She lives in James town. Third of the Day Today Anvil Branders are re ceiving a little booklet entitled “A Third of the Day.” The booklet was written to help you take a look at things that affect the way you feel and the way you work with others — on the job and away from it. There is a lot of valuable in formation in this book. Make a note to read it. Intolerance, and ra:ial and re ligious discrimination, are not the by-products of any particular kind of working condition, wage- classification, or economic group. They are germs which do their damage in every type of human being, and they are just as con tagious and indiscriminate as chicken-pox, while having a mor tality factor more closely resem bling that of cancer and tuber culosis. —Charles E. Wilson Has not God borne with you these many years? Be ye tolerant to others. —Hosea Ballou GOODBYE TO LEAH — Leah Rhodes’ co-workers at Sherrod arranged a farewell luncheon for her recency, prior to her leaving the company. Everybody ate a lot of good food and had a good time. Leah is sitting at the table and behind her are Irene Linthicum, left, and Bessie Farmer.
