ing raised in that vicinity and the
banks are able TO finance the aRri-
cultural interests nicely. Hogs are
finding q good market, with cattle

Kalamazoo, Mich.
Douglas Community House is the
center of activities for the colored
people of the city of Kalamazoo, and
its Influence extends out into the coun-
try. Except for the salary of the col
ored worker, the club might be said to
be self-supporting There are approx
imately 1000 calls made there each
week and various organizations use ii
as Il meeting place. A Girls Club
Mothers Club, Boy Scouts and home
nursing classes meet at the center
Parties for children are planned and
informal dances are conducted. A
number of out-of-town people make
the center their headquarters. The
permuneney of the work is now as
sured. as in January, 1921, the budget
for the community house was included
in the budget for the Associated
Charities.

The Colorado statesman., 1922-02-25

Denver also joins hands with those
progressive cities wherein community
service has been added to the normal
activities of colored citizens. Our
most notable contribution is the
Phyllis Wheatly Home, a magnificent
structure on one of our principal busi-
ness streets and conducted by direc-
ton of the Y. w. G. A. And while
not strictly community center, its
doors are open to all efforts at COM
munity uplift and betterment. Glasses
in domestic science, music, sewing and
athletics are conducted under cOmpe-
tent heads. The Negro Woman's Club
Home is another center of community
activities, extending, however, in the
most part, to the tender young. Its
work is of such recognized merit that
it is always included in the budget of
the Associated Charities.
