The Prescott Division of the U. N.
l. A. and A. c. L., held its regular
meeting Friday night and a large
crowd was present This was very
encouraging, for there is no move
ment under the sun, fostered by our
folks, but what few individuals of
our group will shoulder pick, AK and
begin chopping. 1t ic time for US, as
a race to get together 1t is time for
us to wake up and keep abreast of
the times. "Blow your own horn or
it will not be blown" is a truism
that aptly applies to our group. Many
of our people rejoiced when they read
the newspaper accounts of Mr.. Gar
vey's arrest and gleefully remarked:
81 told you it couldn't last" Let's
getout of the rut, do something worth
while and we will find our place along
with other races. Let us not attempt
to rise too hurriedly or spasmodically,
but on our merits. Our opportunity
is inside of US and if we are capable
and deserving, we will find our
places as men and women of stand
ing and worth while.
