So spoke a young college woman who was honestly seeking light. "Then suppose you your pulse," suggested her counselor.

Likewise that 'something' supervises the digestion of your lunch. When you have swallowed your food, Negroes Ask Protection At Meeting BELZONI, May 21 (P) The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today asked the U. S. department of justice to protect at a meeting in Belzoni Sunday where Negroes will protest handling of the unsolved death of a Negro minister and civil rights leader. In Washington, the justice department asked the FBI to investigate the death.

Arthur Caldwell. chief of the department's civil rights section, said he could not comment on the case until he saw the FBI report. Local law enforcement has broken down in many places and federal needed, the N. A. A.

Citizens councils are white groups organized to keep segregation in all walks of life. Sheriff Ike Shelton said the Negroes would not be bothered unless they break the law. "If they don't violate any laws, it's O. but we haven't done anything wrong and digestion, in general terms at least, it at an end. 'Something' has taken place."

Here is a fact, then, upon which your soul can feed: God is present wherever a law is operating. 1 am living within arm's length of Thee, God.

HOPE AVENUE Williamston Festival Aids Community Building Hopes (Special to The State Journal) WILLIAMSTON, May liamston's hopes for a new community building got a big boost Saturday when practically all of the city's residents--plus a lot more the surrounding terri-turned out for Williamston's Festival. first Community Officials estimated that between 4,000 and persons turned out for the affair, in which nearly every Williamston organization participated. Miss Darlene Minarik, a junior at Williamson high school, was crowned Miss Williamston in afternoon ceremonies at McCormick park. First impetus for the festival was provided a couple of months ago when Mrs.

Robert Hartwell and Mrs. Wayne Fate, co-chairmen of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority's ways and means committee, began thinking about an event to help provide the city with a community building. Although plans are not complete for the building and its location, money raised from the festival will be turned over to a community building fund. A citizen's committee is studying project. An official of the local Beta Sigma Phi, national women's service sorority, hoped, that more than $2,000 would be raised from this year's festival.

This would be considered "exceptionally good" for the first year. She expects the festival will be a yearly The day's activities included a parade from the school to McCormick park at 1 p. m. sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, concert, Indian dances, fire department demonstration and a tug-o-war across the Red Cedar river between the high school's junior and senior classes.

The reason being, of course, that the Peltz bill, now stymied in conference committee, would have distributed the new money on the present 44-37-19 formula. At that time they had their hands out for the money and to heck with what the studies might show. They've got their hands out now but for the purpose of wrecking the whole highway program if they can't get what they want. Lansing and Ingham county would benefit tremendously under the Coleman bill.

It calls for fourlane divided highways on, among other routes, US-16, US-27, US-127 and M-78, all of which are main trunklines serving Lansing, East Lansing and a greater part of the county. But they're not interested in how the improvement of these and otharterial routes would benefit the Michigan motorist. They just want more money for their own And, perhaps more than the they want to the feathers off the Republican "young Turks" -two of Lansing whom and happen to represent Ingham county in the -who had the courage to vote their convictions and, with the aid. of the Democrats, get the bill out of an obstinate house roads and bridges committee. Copies of the resolution, they say, will be sent to Reps.

Harold Hungerford and Willard I. Bowerman, of Lansing. John J. McCune, East Lansing, Sen. Harry F.

Hittle, East Lansing, and Speaker Wade Van Valkenburg, urging them to oppose the bill. McCune and Bowerman are two of the "young Turks" who helped the bill away from the committee, an action unprecedented in the history of the house. INFLUENCE WARNING? Some old guard Republicans don't seem to like such brashness on the part of younger party members. Perhaps is because they can see the handwriting on the wall and are beginning to realize their influence is waning. And probably it is -and rightly.

Judging by recent election results. This column will predict right now that when the Coleman bill comes up for a vote in the house later this week two of the affirmative votes will be cast by Bowerman and McCune. Signers of the resolution include Aldermen Fred L. Kircher, Robert Klock and George Sidwell; Wilfred Jewett, Vevay township supervisor; Phillip Millis, LeRoy township, chairman of the county board of supervisors, Earl W.

Michigan Week Honors Awarded DETROIT, May 21 (UP)-Wolverine Frontiersmen awards were presented today to five Michigan men "for distinguished attainment in opening new horizons." Recipients of the awards were Dr. Ralph Bunche, director of the United Nations trusteeship division: Walker L. Cisler, president.

and general manager of Detroit Edison company; Dr. Thomas Francis, of the University of Michigan, Edgar A. Guest, Detroit Free Press poet, and Prentiss M. Brown, chairman of the Mackinac Bridge Authority. Winners of the which will be an annual part of the Michigan Week celebration, were selected by the presidents of Wayne university, Michigan State college, University of Michigan and University of Detroit.

"The contract could not have been opened up to high bidders for two reasons," Dr. Hunter said. the concept of the shared time plan originated with T. C. M.

and we were not at liberty to open up the proposition to all comers. "Second, the FCC certainly frown on an assumption by the college that it could contract for space on a channel that had not even been allocated." He said any application must be complete and final before consideration by the FCC. Charges of commercialism were called silly by Dr. Hunter. "We are not going to operate a commercial station and will be entirely separate from the T.

C. M. operation. We will not compete for advertising revenue." Educational television on VHF will not cost the college more than the present UHF operation and with the VHF station more people able to view WKAR-TV programs. matter of fact, under the 20 percent of profits plan, the college stands a good chance of producing educational television at no cost.

This would represent a savings to the taxpayers each year of from $275,000 to $300,000. Several commercial stations have offered "free time" to M. S. C. for educational television but Dr.

Hunter said this is not satisfactory. "The station, as the FCC licensee, has full control and responsibility for all program content and would be able to cancel or cut any program prepared by the college for I telecast. "Conceivably this could upset such rigidly scheduled programs as the college-credit telecourses which must be tailored to the academic program on the campus." On a "free time" basis, the college would still have to operate its own studio and would have to build an expensive micro-wave transmitter to get the programs to the commercial station before they could go on the air. Other commercial stations have said the college could put its money into purchased air time instead of investing in a transmitter. "On the basis of an across-theday averages, air time would cost Michigan State $1,778,400 per year to continue its present scheduling of educational television," Dr.

Hunter said. Under the proposed shared-time plan, M. S. C. would be on the air with 93 percent live shows from 9:30 a.

m. to 2 p. m. and from 6 p. m.

to 7:30 p. m. on week-days; from 9:30 a. m. to 2 p.

m. on Saturdays; and from noon to 4 p. m. on Sundays. less time by only two hours per week, than the college is on the air now with its full time operation of WKAR-TV on UHF.
