AUTO RACES TO BE- STAGED
HERE EASTER SUNDAY WITH
FAMOUS DRIVERS ENTERED

With final arrangements completed
for the championship auto races to
be held atthe International Speedway
Easter Sunday, April II, local race
fans are due for rare treat.
1t is possible, though very inprob-
able, that faster cars and better
drivers have appeared here in the
past, but every follower of the racing
game will admit that for real, red
hot competition, the Easter lineup
has never been paralleled on any
track in the entire southwest.
One of the very first entries re-
ceived was Slim "Wreck EN-" Har-

said to be considerably faster than
any of his previous cars Slim needs

has all the requtsites-and bit over.
Another of the early entries is Ray

eliminated him from the winners.

of '25 and '26, was another early
entry Everyone is familiar with

of the aggregation. Although his
performance thus far in the season
has been anything but brilliant, rumol
has it that he may spring a surprise
in the coming event.

drivers who put on such spectacular

were so evenly matched that at no

guaranty that the race Easter Sunday
will be fast and furious.
Anderson is well known among au-
tomobile men of the city, having re-
sided here at intervals in the past.
Those who saw the Christmas races
will remember Chester Gardner, who
furnished the thrills of the race by
leaving the track twice, escaping in
jury and possible death by very mar

who, in race track parlance, made the
Miller Special "get high behind"

inducement to bring the "hold OUT

Harold Peterson of Phoenix is as
yet undecided whether he wishes to
enter or not. However, his final de-

the next day or so.
Three other entries are expected,
but as yet no definite word has been
received.
The program will consist of five

III a concert given at the Parish
house last evening under the aus
pices of the Douglas Music club An
appreciative audience of about 200
enjoyed the splendid and varied
program of is numbers consisting
of vocal solos, instrumental solos,
quartets and choruses.
with few exceptions the entire
program represented the numbers
that wilL be given by the local
school at the southern Arizona music
contest at Tucson next week. The
contest in Tucson next week is the
fifth annual music contest of this
nature and consists of 16 events, of
which Douglas is entered in ID.
The program last evening showed
that the training of the boys and
girls for this contest has been care
ful and skilled and deserving OF the
highest praise Aside from the tai!
ent, the boys and girls show excell-
ent interpolation. The solos were
especially well rendered. Glenn
Fratt, Edwin Park, Josephine McGee
and Frances Bennett rendered their
contest solos last evening in very
pleasing manner. Gladys Lott, AL

also rendered their instrumental Sc
icetions admirably.
The quartet numbers showed clca:
tone quality and a splendid BLEND

were also appreciated as evidenced
by the generous applause. All the

in having a ball park closer in than
the present park and all business
men should offer their assistance in

With courage and fortitude worthy a

Could paint my mammy's picture for

! would have him paint her, flushed
and red,
The white steam halo around her
head.
! would have him paint in her deep
brown eyes
That look Of faith and hope that new
err dies.
would have him paint her kiss on
my kinky pate
And her hurry to school son, don't
be late"
I'd have him paint the look of pride
upon her face,
As hack home raced the first time
her name on my slste | traced.
But how could he paint the hymn
she hummed,
While keeping time with her wash
board strum.

Here's The Reason Why Thousands
Have Left Their Homes In Dixie

perintendents of the police forces
have not become obligated to protect
you from "discourteous treatment.
Stay in your place and you will not
have to appeal to the police forces
of the state to protect your thick
headed skulls.
Should you wish to occupy the
white residential sections, our advice
is that you try just once. Build your
home next to the white decent peo-
pie and then move in. After you have
done this see how long your home
will be occupied by your family and
then it might be advisable to count
the number of black casualties.
The glorified South has been kept
down in intelligence standards long
enough with you. The South has
grown with the Negro tied to its
neck as a burden when progress was
desired. Your morals are nothing.
Your society will not be permitted
to intermingle with ours. There yet
remain sons and grandsons of those
who wore the gray in 1861-65 and
these some sons are as red-blooded
as their forefathers and when mig
gers" deem it advisable to claim
equality with the white race of the
South they are going to meet cold
steel in opposition. If you want to
be cuddled and mugged over by the
whites you had better pack your be-
longings and leave the South, for
such will never be permitted.

UNION OF Anne.
and zIONISTS
NOW ASSURED

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 25.-(ANP)
and A. M. Z. Zion connections, gen.
eral officers, prominent ministers,
laymen and interested friends, will
gather in Pittsburgh June 81, for
separate and joint sessions in de-
veloping the program of denomina-
tional union. This promises to be
one of the most historical gather
ings of religious bodies ever held in
America.
The sessions will be held in Be-
thel A. NJ. K. Church.
The various commissions, made
up of representatives of both nomi-
nations, are working on the various
phases of the union. One of. the
chief discussions is that of a name
for the combined churches. Several
have been suggested, the one which
seems to meet with greatest favor is
United Methodist Episcopal" Ac-
cording to one of the prominent
bishops on the commission: There
is no Methodist church body having
this name, and it is one that will
permit any other Methodists to join
us at later date, IL they so elect.
with this change African would
be dropped from one denomination
and Zion from the other, and we
would retain the basic name of
Methodist Episcopal
These commissions will re-arrange
Episcopal districts SO that no Zion
and A. NJ. E. bishop will be in the
| same state.
Schools of the two denominations
will be consolidated when possible.
A commission of lawyers will
work out the legal questions involv-
ed in consolidating church Officers
and transferring church property to
the united organization.
While there is still some small op.
position in both denominations rela-
tive to. the contamination of the
union, this same bishop advised that
a vast majority Of officers and lay.
men favor organic union, and are
working energetically to this end
The union of the denominations
would cut down big overhead ex.
panses, and enable ministers to re-
ceiye larger salaries. thus opening
the way for type of religious lead.
ership that will help religious work
to go forward with largely increased
efficiency.
