The Bible Lesson is entitled ("Adam and Fallen Man.” Resolution How much do you help your child with his school work? This is a question which (aces every weary .parent at the end of the working day. For some who have children who take to the learn­ ing process like ducks take to water, this question does not have deep meaning. For most parents, it is a critical question which us­ ually must be answered, "not enough." Do you know what books your child brings home? Do you know what his teacher has asked him to do each night to prepare for the next day's work? If you do not, try to find a little time to talk with him about his work and to see that it is done.

News Of The Week National Civil rights leaders were planning to call a new series of protest demonstrations as President Kennedy conceded last week that Congress would not pass his civil rights program during the present session. Special Thanksgiving Day demonstrations are scheduled to be announced later this week. The Supreme Court delayed its rulings on sit-in convictions for another sixty days this week asking the Justice Department to give them additional information on the broad Constitutional questions involved. The delay may affect passage of the public accommoda­ tions section of the civil rights legislation. Delegates to the AFL-CIO convention this week rejected a bid to readmit Teamsters Union President Jimmy Hoffa and his 1,400,000-member union into the merged labor federation, with George Meany leading the opposition. The Northern Negro Grass Roots Leadership Con-, ference was formed in Detroit last Sunday linking civil rights leaders in 11 cities in eight states. One of the, wffjbr goals of the group wiU be to launch a Christ­ mas boycott against all merchants. Newsman William Worthy and Minister Malcolm X were among speak­ ers at the Detroit convention.
