Finally, the Urban League will present to each gradu– ate two booklets in the Color Line series: "He Crashed the Color Line" and "Vocational Opportuni– ties for Negroes." These booklets have been prepared by Mr. T. Ar– nold Hill of the National Urban League and are designed to point the way for the Negro youth. Co– pies of these booklets are invalu– able, yet they sell for only fifteen cents in order that every person may have them in their library. Mr. Ernest Alexander under– went an operation last Wednesday at the Bremerton Naval Hospital from which he is recovering. He expects to be returned home in about three weeks.

Word comes back from Seattle– ites visiting in the East with the usual "wish you were here." Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Coleman, Mrs. Armeta Hearst and Mrs. Charles Lewis, who have been away for five weeks, write from New York and Washington, D. C. of the won– ders of the East. They are ex– pected home the last of this week. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Jackson send news about the National Confer– ence of Social Work in Indianapo– lis and the National Urban League Confere!lce in Detroit. They are visiting Livingstone College, Mr. Jackson's Alma Mater, this week for the graduation exercises, and will be with Rev. and Mrs. J. S. Jackson Sr. in Wilson, N. C., over the week end. They will also visit Mrs. Jackson's parents, Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Reid, in Virginia. Henry Taylor of the First A. M. E. Sunday School was elected dis– trict secretary of the Puget Sound District Sunday Schools at their convention held last week in El– lensburg. The banquet given at Chandler Hall, Tuesday, May 25, was in honor of the 30th anniversary of the S. M. T.'s and a surprise to their Royal Queen, Mrs. Anna Scott, the 25th being her birthday, and will well be remembered by those present, and to be envied by those not present. On entering the hall, one's eyes fell upon a most beautifully decorated table, in their temple colors, purple, gold and white, with two candelabras, holding six gold candles each. At ; the head of the table was a gor- g,;ous nouquet, with satin ribbon suitable to each officer's station, extending from the bouquet to the officer, and later we found out they were corsages, and were pin– ned on each officer by the host– esses, Mrs. L. King and Mrs. T. Austin. Each committee headed by the chairman, Mrs. Fanny Cook who was responsible for such a wonderful affair, wore white with white and gold corsages. At the coffee urn was Mrs. J. Waters. The most surprising thing to all was a beautiful birthday cake fif– teen inches in diameter and the 30th Anniversary written on it in purple. At this time the hostess announced Princess Angeline in the person of Mrs. Ed Leftridge, Spokane, Wash. Miss Robin Stokes of Pullman spent the week-end with her par– ents, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Stokes. Mrs. Laurel! Covington of Ta– coma spent the 30th with her mo– ther, Mrs. M. Stafford. The Masonic Lodge and East– ern Stars served a barbecue dinner at Brown's Chicken Shack May 31.

Misses Willabelle and Lillimae Thomas left last Saturday morn– ing for Seattle to spend the holi– days. Mrs. Margaret Malone returned from a week-end trip to Moscow. tiona! Home for widows and or– phans at Eaton Rapids, Michigan. Space will not permit us to thank each member individually, but we thank Past Commander Phillips, Chairman of the Poppy committee, and Past Pres. Mr·s. A. Phillips for repairing the old baskets and money containers and keeping accounts straight. Also we especially thank Mrs. L. Grim– es, president, for taking such ac– tive part, she is one in a million. Post Commander J. A. Spencer is fortunate in having such able as– sistants. Gilbert B aker, son of Deputy Chief of Staff and Mrs. A. R. Baker, sold Poppies to the entire faculty and many students of Foster High School, establish– ing a precedent and was highly commended by his teachers and Mr. Donald R. Cady, principal of the school. We thank the other children of Veterans for selling Poppies. Lewis Ford Post No. 289 was in line with other Post Colors of the VFW at the Firs: lliemor:al Con– gress at the Civic Auditorium and in the Memorial Day Parade, with thanks due to the efforts of only two comrades, Comrade Thomas and Deputy Chief of Staff, A. R. Baker. Wake up Comrades, the door is slowly but surely being closed in your face, and in some states it is closed. We must face the facts and a d– mit that we alone are to be blam– ed.

There was a great depth of tenderness, and there was a closeness of comrade– ship, which were of the stuff that endures. In their connection he felt that there was a marvelous embroidery of passion, but it was worked surely upon a foundation of homespun. They were able to dare to be simple with each oth– er, and so they could rest together when the tide of passion ebbed, as it must, to flow again."-Book knowledge ...
