Thin Is « say li»K that is re-
UKtvely now. How it began
uml wlu» was the author of it,
I doubt if wo will ovor know.
U has become n part of some,
ami I imagine they feel very
close to the saving. It is being
used by ;*> many; oven minis-
U>rs use 11. seemingly to en
dorse It. Now it seems right
v* it begins to fit in our
AH'iety.
1 have wondered how most
of us feel either when we use
it or hear others use it. We
have a thing to do? Should
we do the thing or things we
want in the first place? To
do our thing, is it right or is it
wrong? 1 feel our concern
must be focused or centered
around doing things that have
been already set before us.
I will admit and confess
that there are only two ways
given to us and not a third
way. One of these ways is
right and the other is wrong.
There is no such thing as half
way right or half way wrong.
We are either right or wrong.
Man lias strived since the
beginning of time to initiate a
way of his own. He has failed
and will continue to fail. It is
far past the time that man
should begin thinking on the
two ways we already have,
right and wrong.prefereble
right. If he fails to do one, he
automatically does the other.
Man has a choice. He
stands between right and
wrong. The decision is his to
make. The problem is his to
solve, and the question is his
to answer. Am I going to
choose right or do I prefer
wrong?
It is very possible the term
first was used as a saying. I
feel now, though, there are
persons who deeply feel they
really have a thing to do.
I have talked with some
who use the phrase often.
They feel they have a thing
to do over and above right
and wrong. If what they are
about to do is either right or
wrong, it is still their thing

CAMP EAGLE' South
Vietnam - Tuesday is the big
day of the week for some
units of the 101 st Airborne
here.
So a GI told Vivian Hayes,
Red Cross recreation worker.
Why is that? "Tuesday is when
you Red Cross girls come to
see us," he replied.
The attractive black girl was
not surprised by the remark.
She hears It often and it al
ways pleases her. "When they
*y that, you know you're
making someone happy," Vi
vian said.
She is one of more than 70
young American women, de
ployed throughout South
Vietnam in the American Red
Croas center-clubmobDe re
creation program. They ibit
They ignore the fact that they
are controlled by two forces,
good and evil. Whenever the
act is committed, be it good or
evil, it is the power of either
force causing you to do this
thing and not your own. You
are just an instrument or tool
for the forces.
In the cities of Sodom and
Gomorrah, the inhabitants
were doing their "things."
They were guided by this
powerful evil force until God
became tired of their wicked
ways, God sent two angels to
destroy the cities. Some of the
citizens were given a choice to
either get out of the cities or
slay. They chose to stay to
continue doing their "things"
God rained down from heaven
fire and brim stone, complete
ly destroying every living
thing, from grass on up to
man.
From this entire area there
were only four people who ac
tually got out, but one of the
four was lost. This evil force
caused her to cross God. They
were told not to look back and
on her way, she did look back
and immediately became a
pillar of salt.
If any of us purchases any
thing, be it great, or small,
when we get a bill of sale
showing the item is paid for in
full, we are the owners. We
have a lifetime claim on said
item or items. We are in the
prosessive case.
Christ did just that for all
of us. We were for sale. Christ
appeared on the scene and
bought us. He did our thing
for us. We had no way of re
demption. He let it be known
that He was the buyer. The
price - His life. The agony He
suffered ant! the blood He shed
gives Him full claim on the
black, white, red, andyellow
races. We do not own our
selves. All belong to Him.
Must Jesus bear the cross
alone and all the world go
free? There is a cross for
everyone and there's a cross
for me.
Ked Cross eJubmobile girls who
visit men of the Airborne
here, bringing programs of
quizzes and other informal
with American servicemen at
support camps and forward
firebases, drawing them into
group participation activities.
"The Red Cross is eager to
send more young black wo
men to work in this pro
gram," Vivian says. "Qualifi
cations are a four-year college
education and ages between 21
and 24 years. Girls interested
should get in touch with the
local Red Cross Chapter. They
will find that the Red Cross is
Interested in them."
Gls can get pretty down

Vivian explained. "So when
they respond to our program

doing aomething worthwhile.

She holds membership in
numerous professional and re
ligious organizations. Since her
graduation from Talladega
College with an A. B. Degree,
and Columbia University, with
a Master of Arts Degree, she
has done numerous jobs that
have afforded rich experi
ences. She served as Director
of Youth Activities, along with
her late husband Dr. C. E.
McLester, Founder and Or
ganizer of Morehead Avenue

After graduation, she joined
the Red Cross overseas recrea

in Korea, doing much the
same work as now in Viet

much deference between Viet
nam and Korea. The men are
the same all over. They are
bored there, and they're bored
here. And they still have that
same response. Of course the
firebases here are different.
You don't go forward like
that in Korea; but you still
see troops in remote areas,
who haven't seen American
girls in a long time."
Writers' Forum
Holds First Bus.
Meet of Year
The adage,' To be fore
warned, is to be fore armed'
may have set the pace for
Writers Forum's first business
session of 1971.
Mis. N. L. Stewart, Personal
Relations Person, has sent out
messages along with Yuletide
greetings, that the January
meeting would be busy.
As usual, where Forum
business is concerned, the
hard, cold facts -- along with
the nippy, below freezing
temperature - accelerated the
lethargic committee on Writers
Forum affairs. As a result of
much wheeling and dealing
backstage, everyone was ready
for a busy session by 7:30
a.m., Sunday, January 24, at
401 Brant Street -- Forum
headquarters.
Chairman, George B. Russ
called the meeting to or da at
7:32.
An inspirational reading
from David Dunn's, "How to
Give Yourself Away" was
done by Mrs. Stattie H. Russ.
The Executive Vice Presi
dent, Paul D. Harrison, asked
God's blessings upon the mem
bers and the 1971 Activity
Program Calendar of Writers
Forum.
First in order of business:
Basic Plans for Launching
Spring Concert featuring Mrs.
Violet Perry Rogers -- March
28; Paul D. Harrison, official
chairman of the Rogers Presen
tation, gave a well-rounded,
comprehensive, Second Step
of Launching Spring Concert.
" Mrs. N. L. Steward --
highlighted the "business as
pect" of her Christmas vaca
tion at Nassau, the capital ot
the Bahama Islands.
Except for a traditionally
Southern style breakfast of:
scrambled eggs, golden-brown
bacon, grits with red-eye
gravy; hot biscuit-rolls, butter,
raspberry jelly; coffee with
fresh, double-cream -- Passing
of Gifts - the busy meeting
came to an end.
Rev. James Stewart, Fo
rum's counselor, brought the
meeting to a close with his
usual charm and wit.
