E[KS' MINSTREL
SHOW POSTPONED
will Be Given Next Fall;
Committee Will Arrange
For A Carnival

The general committee in charge of
the Elks' minstrel show decided at a
meeting Wednesday evening 70 post
pone the show until date next fall.
Owing to certain conditions in the city
at the present time, it was considered
advisable by the committee to post
pone the show for few months. 1t
is the expectation to stage the show
two nights early in the fall. Harvey
j. Moore will have full charge of the
show.
However, the Elks have not given
up the idea of abandoning a social
entertainment for Mt. Vernon. The
same general committee was retained
and plans gre already under way for
a carnival to be given in about four
weeks. Further details will be an
nounced by the committee later.

MINISTERS Invited
TO VIEW film

In furtherance of the efforts of the
knights Of Columbus to allay religious
prejudice, personal Invitations have
been sent to the ministers of Mount
Vernon and to their congregations to
view the war activities film-"Ameri-
can Catholics in War and Reconstruc-
ton" to be shown next Sunday at 2
p, m. and $3.50 p. m. at the Lyric
Theatre.
These pictures have been viewed by
former Secretary of War Newton D.
Baker who said, These pictures have
both an educational and spiritual
value. They. contain a great amount
of information regarding the contri-
button Of Catholics during and after
the war and are calculated to fill the
people of the United States with pride
in what these agencies have done. l
hor'e they will be shown throughout
the country"
No fee is charged those attending,
as the film is being presented in many
parts OF the United States by the de-
partment Of motion pictures of the
National Catholic Welfare Council.
There are six reels fof animated film,
showing series Of American and
European scenes where the welfare
work is shown in actual contact with
the doughboys. There cannot fail to
result from seeing these pictures by
the everyday citizen an enlargement
OF his vision Of the patriotism and
humanitarian service OF Catholicism.
That such enlargement is needed is
not denied, and is evidenced by the
need in many communities for the efi
forts OF the Knights OF Columbus COM
mittee on religious prejudice. In
showing the film on next Sunday af-
ternoon it is felt that a larger num-
ber can be present, and that 1t will be
easier for the congregations of the
city to attend

will Request nvestigation Of
Alleged Laxity OF Law
Enforcement
MINISTER'S MAY
MAKE CHARGES
Legal Advisor Instructs Min
listers, According To An
lE0uncement

A committee Of three from the Mt.
Vernon Ministerial association will
appear before the city council at the
next regular meeting, March 2s, and
request an investigation Of Mt. ver-
mons morals and the alleged laxity of
law enforcement.
This announcement was made by a
member Of the Ministerial association
Thursday morning.
AS announced in The Banner Tues
day, the members of the Mt. Vernon
Ministerial association, at meeting
held that morning, brought up the
question of law enforcement in the
city. 1t was first decided to appoint
a committee of three members to pre-
pare petition and circulate it about
the city, asking council to start an in
yestigation. This committee was ap.
pointed and consisted of three men,
bers.
However, on Thursday morning it
was decided not to prepare a petition
and present it to council. After a
careful consideration of the question,
it was thought advisable by the minis
ters to appoint committee of three
from the association to appear in per-
son before the city council and to re.
quest that body to make an immediate
investigation of the rumors about the
city regarding the laxity of law en-.
forcement on the part Of a certain Of
fetal and the investigation of his ac.
tions on q certain evening.
The members of the Ministerial as.
sociation called in legal advisor be.
fore taking this action, 1t was stated
Thursday.
The names of the members Of the
committee to appear before the city
council were not given out Thursday,
but it was stated that the names will
be made public later. .s..4
Members Of council intfmatcd at a
recent meeting they were willing to
investigate conditions in the city II
charges were presented in a formal
manner.
"The ministers intend to present the
charges" said member Of the Min
isterial association Thursday
