Dear Editor:
The following was submitted
to the AREA REDEVELOP
MENT COMMITTEE, Mav 29
1962.
CONVENIENT TRASH
DISPOSAL
The collection and disposal
of trash and garbage is difficult
in cities. It is impracticable as
a private business in most ur
ban areas.
Here is my solution which
I believe to be original. The es
tablishment of a coin operated
trash and garbage collector.
Various size compartments
could be made available from
garbage pail size to large gar
bage cans.
I would suggest a free com
partment to take beverage cans
and the glass containers com
monly known as stubbies and
fifths.
An additional service might
be a coin operated washer for
the garbage cans and pails.

Dear Editor:
Does the increasing number
of human relations courses and
organizations in our colleges
and communities indicate the
growing concern as to what our
relations should be with new
neighbors coming from other
parts of the country and the
world?
Is this concern due in part
to the students, exchange pro
fessors, business men and tour
ists going to other countries
and coming to our own?
Is it due in part to two
world wars and their after
maths in Korea, Middle East,
the Congo and Laos during
which our young men and
women have been getting ac
quainted first hand with the
“other half” of the world?
Is it due in part to the laws
and ordinances aimed at acts
of discrimination because of
religion, race, color or culture?
Whatever the reasons, isn’t it
becoming increasingly evident
that the basic hindrance to any
effort for improving human re
lations with our new neighbors
is the prejudices we harbor
against those we have hereto
fore not considered as our
neighbors?
If so, then the prime objec
tive of any human relations
course or community effort
should be toward the elimina
tion of prejudices. As preju
dices are matters of the heart
which dominate the head, it is
not surprising that the initia
tive in bettering human rela
tions is coming from people and
organizations motivated by
their religious convictions.
For example, Baha’is of the
United States are observing
Race Amity Day this Sunday,
June 10, as one more way of
demonstrating the unity of
mankind regardless of race, re
ligion, color or culture.
