When a Heart
Weeps With Joy
BY FRED MYERS JR.

In days gone by. flower grew.
And blossomed in my heart;
1t scattered fragrance while il lived.
To cover years OF art.
Inc Hover was sweet, young girl.
Whose nearness brought creation.
And by her love I was inspired
Afame, with youths relation.
She asked me at the dawn OF love
To picture Gods own life:
Upon the canvas. with my brush.
And she would be my wife.
And as our time in life wore on.
Our day drew nigh its close:
saw fulhlment OF our dreams
My paintings and her pose.
She now is gone, the blossom dead
The world, unconquered still;
But l am, happy with my life.
For / performed her will.
/, soon will go and be rejoined
To her, with love and life;
And live for aye-eternally
Good-bye-this world-this strife

SEVEN-MEMBER PLAN

State Senator James W. Robert
son addressed the cabinet OF the
Wilmington Branch Of the Delaware
Negro Civic League at the Thomas

was presided over by DR.. J. Bacon
Stubbs. and in addition TO Senator
Robertson others who spoke we're
Henry c. Downward. former Coun-
Gilman. ana Dr. Stubbs.
Senator Robertson said he felt
the Negro race should be represent
ed in the School Board by a mem
Der" Undoubtedly" he said. "any
race receives better representation
II It is represented by one OF its
number"
He would not suggest who should
represent the colored voters on the
board. You know the men better
than I do. therefore 1t is better that
I keep out and let you choose your
own man." he said. Several efforts
were made by members OF the
audience. in questioning him. to get
him 10 express himself for or
against DR. Conwell Bantou. who is
a candidate for the position.
Il do not think you should re-
quest me TO answer a question re-
garding the ability OF any certain
man." the Senator said. 7 know

When asked II he thought Il pos
sible for the c6lored people TO get

providing their efforts are united
on one candidate" Their votes are
estimated, he said, TO number be-
tween 5000 and 1000. and with
that number they would be sure OF
placing a man on the board.
He warned them. however. OF the
dangers involved in splitting be-
tween themselves and placing two
candidates before the voters. uni
ted. you have a sure chance OF win
ming; divided, you are beaten before
you start" he said.
In speaking OF the new school
law. Senator Robertson pointed to
two advantages contained in il over
the law in existence prior to 1919
The first OF these referred to Sec
tional feeling. In the now law, hs
said, Il wipes out possibility Of sec.
+ uonal consideration. as the mem
hers are not representative Of an,
certain section or ward. but ar,
representatives OF all the people
The second was that it contained ,
more liberal policy, providing fo
