a CHRISTMAS SONG

Again, in the East, the same white
star
Looks down from a Christmas sky,
And patiently vigils the troubled earth
With q guardian angels eye;
The same true star that the men Of
old,
Led on by it's guiding ray,
Followed to where, in q manger bed,
The beautiful Christ child lay.
Bright star: ar sou gaze on this war
ring world.
Do tears dim your iambent light2
Have men forgotten the lesson you've
taught
Since that long ago Christmas night2
Pray, star, for the frenzied sons 81
earth.
That battle ard suffering cease,
Turn back the hearts Of the nations

To their lost goodwill and peace

New Chief Vets
Hospital No. 81

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Washington, D. c., Oct. Sit has
been officially announced that DR..
Charles M. Griffith has been made
head of Veterans Hospital No. 81 at
Tuskegee, thereby supplanting DR..
Robert M. Stanley, who resigned and
was appointed in New Mexico. DR..
Griffith was first assistant to Stanley.
Attention has been called by the Civil
Service Commission to the fact that
colored applicants for the various po-
sitions have not materialized as rap
idly as was hoped for. 1t is pointed
out that there are many positions,
both professional and civil, still un-
filled and that colored control will be
delayed until qualified people have
been secured and shown themselves
competent to handle the various du-
ties. The Veterans Bureau indicates
that the chief issue involved is the
best possible care of the patients, but
that now the road is clear for colored
people to assume the various posi-
tions, it is up to the group to produce
the applicants for places. Colored
physicians and civilians are being
urged to apply and stand examina-
ton.
