THE DETROIT JEWIS H NEWS—Friday, February 20, 195 0- 14 I The Suburban Community The Brotherhood of Children] Dr. R. Robinson Speak at BB Is a Model for Adults to Copy to Award Banquet By the Oak•Woodser The other day, we took a little time out between acts at the I Shrine Circus to watch two Cub Scouts having a marvelous time as they gazed upon all the won- ders that the circus has to offer little boys and all the tempta- tions it affords in the way of cotton candy, peanuts, popcorn, ad infinitum. Now there is certainly not much that's unusual about two little fellows having a good time at the circus or sharing conversation about the acts or dipping into one another's bags of peanuts. Only it was close to Brother- hood Week and we were especi- ally conscious of the fact that one of the boys was white and the other was Negro. Our own brood kept us too busy to give much thought to the two young men sitting there in front of us, but during the next few days we kept coming back in our mind to that friend- ly scene. Snap a picture of it and probably it would win a Bro- therhood Award because that's how the adult mind measures Brotherhood. Show the same picture to the youngsters in- volved and they'd laugh at seeing themselves in a photo and they'd reminisce about the circus. That's how simple Brother- hood is to children. It's just being with someone whose com- pany they enjoy, without a thought of anything else that might go with it. Certainly these two cub scouts would frown and be puzzled if one were to mention Brotherhood to them. They were living it with- out even understanding it. Children everywhere g e t along in the same manner. They may ask questions about dif- ferences in skin or differences in religion, but they readily accept differences with no con- demnation. Do children hate? Certainly they do! They hate being told what to do or how to do it; they hate coming home to din- ner when they're playing out- side; they hate vegetables; and they hate other children, in- cluding their best playmates, at one time or another. But young children have not put a label on thOr per- sonal hates. They may call silly, non-sensical names, but they are not the names of prejudice. They may have squabbles or even fights, but they are for very dear causes, and not abstract ideas of hate for the sake of hating. We would do well, as adults, to copy • this basic simplicity which is universal in all young- sters: to like and to hate, if we choose, but to do so on the basis of the individual and not because of the groiip he irepre- sents. This is Brotherhood because ' . it represents each person to every other person as another human being with common problems and similar goals. This is the Brotherhood of children, but it could well serve as the model for us all.

In the in- tervening five years the can- cellation read "District of Birobidjan."

The first cancellation bore He- brew characters.
