AUXILIARY HOSTS
TO DICTIONARIES

The meeting of the Auxiliary, with
the Legionaires as their guests, at
their club rooms in the Community
Center on Wednesday evening, was
one of the most interesting held this
year. The president, Mrs. Ida Moon
an presided.
The Auxiliary completed its final
arrangements for It's Annual Pre-
Lenten dance which will be held in
the Washington Auditoriu :; on Feb
ruary II. Maurice Lavick's 6 piece
orchestra of Duluth will furnish the
music.
The unit voted a donation of $40
to help the family of an ex-service
man who is in need. The unit also
voted and put in an order for 1000
peoples.
After the regular business six
new members were initiated, bring
ing the total membership of this unit
up to 1877. The new members are
Louisa Rikhus, Edna Carlson, Judith
Trebilcock, Beulah Travis, Hilma
Maxi, Catherine Markovitch and
Louise Ludtke.
After initiation, the Legionaires
were welcomed in, to enjoy a pro-
gram which had been arranged for
by Mrs. Nora Trezona, chairman of
unit activities.
The main feature of the evening
was talk given by Mrs. Lillian
Schaefer, who with her daughter
Lillian, made tour of Europe, GO
ing over with the Legion to their
national convention held in Paris
this past summer. Mrs. Schaefer in
very entertaining way gave a re-
view of all historical places of inter-
est in each city she visited, both in
Canada and the seven countries
visited while abroad. Her talk was
of special interest to the members
as she brought home many side
lights on the Paris convention and
on conditions Of the countries over
there, today. She intersnersed her
talk with many humorous and per-
onal incidents which the unit en-
joyed.
Following her talk, Douglas Nan
kervis sang solo. Miss Sunshine
Noah played trombone solo and
Mrs. E. c. Jones sang group of
patriotic songs.
After the program the members
and guests gathered in the dining
room where the lunch committee
demonstrated to the Legionaires that
they could serve good food.-Com.

VALENTINE DAY TRADITIONS
REPRESENT CURIOUS MIXTURE.

Traditions which have gathered
around the observance of st. Valen-
tines da on February Ia are like
the traditions which have clustered
around the celebration of Christmss
in that they represent curious mix
ture of Christian and pagan customs.
The origin of the celebration was an
interesting one and there is a world
of interest in the story of how the
observance of the martyrdom of an
early Christian and the ancient Ro-
man lottery of love" came to be
associated in this celebration.
That story is told in an illustrated
feature article by Elmo Scott Watson
in this issue of The Miner. It's title
is est. Valentine Day." Be sure to
read it in this issue!

S. F. OF A. HONORS.
OLD TIME MEMBERS.

The Scandinavian Fraternity of
America Lodge of Ely held an Old
Timers party at their lodge rooms
last Monday evening at which these
who had been members of the order
for Is years or more were the hon.
ored guests of the Young Old Tim
ers.
A fine program had been arranged
for their entertainment by COM
mittee composed of Misses Esther
Sandstrom, Florence Hanson and
Gladys Thompson. The program
opened with piano solo by Miss
Eunice Berglund and then a song
by little Miss Dorothy Lindbloom.
Her song, "Grandfather's- Clock"
was enthusiastically applauded by
the old timers. She was accomp-
anied on the piano by her sister
Jenny. Then followed read
ing by the famous "Tell 1t To
Ole" Grinder and a violin solo by
Miss Eleanor Berglund. The presi-
dent of the lodge, Mr.. Ernest Jack
son, turned the meeting over to the
old timers and they demonstrated
how they conducted the meetings 80
years ago, which was entertainment
enough for the young members.
A hasty selection among the old
timers for Offices resulted in
Andrew Sund being chosen for presi-
dent, Chas. Almen, past presi-
dent, Gus Nyman, vice president,
Olaf Berglund, treasurer, Mrs. A.
Sund and Mrs. Victor Gustafson,
marshalls and Mrs. Andrew Simon
SON, chaplain. Each old timer was
then called upon by the presiding
officer for revue of some of their
experiences in the early days in
northern Minnesota. One recalled
when Duluth Heights was nothing
but valley and Lake Superior was
just a swamp. They expressed them
selves as well pleased with the pro-
gress the S. F. of A. had made in
the last few years, and it was their
opinion that if the young old timers
would take as much interest in the
order as the old timers did, the S.
F. of A. would continue to grow and
progress and become a power for
good in the community.
After the meeting and general
get-to-gether of young and old a
delicious lunch was served. A spec
tally decorated table had been re-
served for the old timers. Dancing
followed and only the dances of 80
years ago were danced. 1t was very
evident that the old timers had not
forgotten how to do the light fan
tastic of old and many went home
feeling that the younger generation
had not forgotten what they had
done in the hard lean years long
ago.
Those who were the guests of the
evening were: Gust Nyman, Mr.. and
Mrs. Victor Gustafson, Mrs. Frank
Carlson, Mrs. Tillie Skoglund, Axel
Hegfors, Mrs, Peter Johnson, Mrs.
Axel Carlson, Mr.. and Mrs. Louis

Last Sunday morning Robert
Hunter, age Is years and Jerry
Brown, age 22 years were shot by
Everett Johnson, alas Everett Tuck
er, age 20 years, as a result of a
crap game on West Moore Street.
Johnson was shco0ing at Lucille
chatham, who lives on West Leigh
Street. She lodged the bulle5s in
tended for her and as result, one
of the youngsters was shot in the
eye and the other in the stomach.
1t looked like a case of murder.
The affair took place at Lucille:
Christians house in the 1900 block
West Leigh Street. Enqu ry at the
ST. Philips Hospital 10 which in
stitution the two men were hurried,
disclosed the fact that it had not
been determined whether either of
them were fatally wounded. Both
were resting comfortably. Johnson
had not been apprehended at this
writing.

PHYLLIS WHEATLEY Y.

ASSET.

The visitor was young crippled
man. Lady is this the 'Y' building
where you take care of girls?" he
asked. :.
Told that it was, he said, Just a
minute" stepped outside and re-
turned with girl about fourteen
years old. E.
He had found the girl wandering
up and down East Main Street try
ing to find her mother. But the ad-
dress she had was incorrect. Lodg. ng
and supper were furnished her,
while a telegram was sent immed-
lately TO her grandmother asking
for the right address. The next day
the girl was taken 10 her mother.
This girl is only one of the many
who are helped during the wear by
the Phyllis Wheatley Branch Of the
Y. W. C. A.
Clubs for girls and young women,
educational and gym classes, super
viseda recreation. pubic programs
and a summer camp are some Of the
other features Of the work of this
organization There are nearly eight
hundred grade and high school girls
enrolled in the GIRL Reserve Clubs,
which are supervised by trained cd
visors. The Industrial Department
has membership of ninety-fiTe
young women who are employed in
the various industries in r chmond &.
The Phyllis Wheatley Branch is
considered as community asset not
only for It's program of work for
women and girls but for its service
to the entire community. This is
shown through genuine use of the
Branch Library which IL houses; the
number of outside organizations
meeting in the building and by the
attendance at vespers and other
programs.

Property is. more than, me mere
thing which a person owns. 1t is
elementary that It includes the right
"a ACQUIRE, USE and DISPOSE OF
it. The u. S. Constitution protects
these essential attributes of proper
ty. Holden v. Hardy 169 U. S. $50
391."
If property as the Court said has
these essential attributes, how can
any act of the Virginia Legisla ure
give power to a city to destroy them,
when the U. S. Cons htution'
Treaties and Acts Of Congress, are
the supreme law OF the land?
Segregation may be, of course,
brought about, by eitSsr race acting
as individuals by restr ct!ve coven-
ants against use and occupancy for
a limited period placed in deed and
made to run with the land, as has
recently been upheld by the Supreme
Court of the United States OF
America IN he Corrigan Case.
The late Hon. Henry R. Pollard,
one of the c.ty's most successful and
able City Attorneys, in his memoirs,
mentioned his fight to sustain tne
Segregation Ordinance before the
Supreme Court of the United States
of America, as one Of the hardest
legal contests of his life, and with
all his ingenuity, he was unable TO
re-frame a segregation ordinance
that would not run counter to the
Federal Constitution. | do not be-
i.eve that anybody can do so.
The Racial Integrity Acc OF 1872 X
is certainly not warrant for such
an ordinance as Mr.. Woody proposes
and Negroes or white persons need
have no fear of such an ord nance
even being enacted by the c ty
Council Such a move as has been
made by Mr., Woody has no other
tendency Than a catering TO Che pre-
judices of certain Of his constituency
and in nowise reflecting any good
upon the smity that now exists be-
tween the races in residential sect ons
of Richmond.
My observat on has been that Rich
mOnd Negroes do not like to live in
uncongenial sur. oundings and VIII il
ly white neighborhood would NIT be
a place where they would wish to
live.

THE BAPTIST MINISTER'S
CONFERENCE.
DIR. BINFORD SPEAKS OF
TROUBLE AT CENTRAL

IROUBLE a ZEN Ilabia'
The trend of a discussion at the
Monday meeting of the Baptist MIN
listers Conference of Richmond and
Vicinity seemed to indicate that some
of the brethren who preach Ordlna'
ton Sermons have the wrong con-
ception as TO the duties of church
officers.
Rev. A. D. Daily, the highly eff
cient pastor of Fifth Baptist Church
urged the Ministers 10, pay mo e
attention to the matter of at ending
