Letters to the Editor

To the Editor of the BulIetin-Appeal: (:
Too much praise cannot be given
Mr.. and Mrs. Noble Sissle for taking
the role of chaperones to members of
theiI theatrical organization. the
Chocolate Dandies." They person
ally keep oversight of the young boys
and girls to the extent that their
moral conduct remains unimpaired.
Should anRcute interest occur be-
tween couples, the Blakes, ever on
the alert, advise and encourage mat
rimony. This order. must be con-
firmed regardless of the position
they hold, or else their service is dis
continued. The result Of their eff
forts keeps their company one of un-
usual merit from the standpoint of
morality. The men who are married
take their wives with them, and this
has moralizing influence upon the
younger members-bany of whom
are the scfonA of some of the best
families and are graduates from high
schools or colleges. Noble Sissle is
the son Of a pioneer Methodist min
lister of the Lexington Conference.
The Cory NJ. E. Church, Cleveland,
Ohio, is an outstanding monument to
his memory. His mother was an
earnest member of the Woman's
Home Missionary Society. Having
been brought under such strong in
fiuence is responsible for the attitude
Mr.. Sissle takes in his conduct of life.
Messrs. Sissle and Blake have an ex-
ceptional company of clean minded
young people, and are determined to
keep it up to the highest moral
stardard. .-
