THE HTJCICAF VOICE
Ko V .-Dec. 1939
AM..EXERESS1ON.
It i*eels so 'good to get acquainted with people who have your same ideals. It is so good to know that ♦"here is such fine manhood in our people. I have a lot of friends, but I have some special ones too. Out,in my hometown I have a particular friend that would do us a lot of good in
the spreading
propaganda if we could, just -get enough copies of the "VOICE" to shift around. I think chis little paper will shout our sertimíints and raise leaders', if we just work unselfish ly together.
MARY MARTINEZ
This is an expression by Mary following the reading of a "Voice" and attending a Conference. It is indeed inspiring to. know a person like Mary. Besides putting in a full day’s work to support her family, she has time for so many worthwhile activities.
Mary is vice-president of the Young People’s Union at the Baptist Christian Center. She is an active < ficer in her church and also directs several clubs for younger Mexican girls Mary also assists in the Baptist Christian Center Clinic which serves thousands of our Mexican people in the crowded "Utah Flats" area of Los Angeles. Mary is intensely interested in. her own Mexican people. She also is the Secretary of the Mexican Girl’s Conference. It is indeed an honor to receive this expression from her.

Ever since I can remember I have wanted to fight and fight that terrible prejudice against our people (though some of
show them, that there i than just mere talk, wish I could have some kind of an elixir to inject to our "pals" so that they would awake to this fact. *:es, face plain facts and try to remedy them, but apparently everything seems so full of selfishness and we. understand so little the art of giving. On the othei^hand there is so jnuch good e can just only
in our people pump it out.

, . Our pepple need so much. Wo ‘liiiivo so;mdny things to do that I feel I am wasting my time when I can’t get them to see my point.
How Terrible of me, huh, expecting people to think the v/ay I do. If people could just be around our clinic for one day, they would understand just what I mean.
Vi/hy is it that it is always "the other fellow" who does the- good deed? Our clj• nic besides dispensing medical service, gives little clothes to expectant r'othor-i (Mexican, of course) made b; American women. These Could very easily be made by our girl’s clubs, oh there are sc ■many things ou: girls could do.
of-
Our socio department gives out food, given by America, contributions, and so on. Our boy’s clubs around our church are sponsored by American organizet.to and much good is done with. these1^ Worst of all, our people have become so donendentj Oh, tu
Our need is-great here J If our people recognized the moral responsibility of sharing, how wonderful it would be. This is what Christianity teaches us, (Continued on page 13)
