proportion. Asked what the com- mittee might do tomorrow, Chair man Harris stated that any state ment along this line would be out of the ordinary until the commit tee, itself, had reached a decision.
 Today the financial report of the fund was printed but it was withheld from the newspapers pending to-morrow's session. The balance shows a considerable jump over that of e week ago.
 The relief body. of course, IS still worrying about shoes and other clothing for children return ing to school and about fuel for the needy during the winter months. Much of the balance on hand will be used towards these expenses. However, with the stead fly dcreasing demands 1t is felt by some that the collections from those working in Waterbury should be cut somewhat.

A side window near the en- trance was smashed permitting the thief to reach in and seize the time piece. Apparently the person responsible took no chances and effected quick getaway.

Cats" lost hard fought game to the
Oak Park Lions" of Laurel by a score
IA to 0. The game was thriller all
the way. The majority of the game be-
ing played in 1.aurel's territory, but
the Cats" failed to cross the Blue and
White goal line as the Lions" defense
would tighten and beat back the de-
termined Cats" backs. Twice the
Cats" got to the fifteen yard strip,
but failed as the defense frightened.
The heavy Lion" line with averaged
40 pounds made it possible for the
Blue and White Blacks to make two
touchdowns that won the game.
The hard plunging Lions Backs
hit the Cats" line for constant gains,
and two touchdowns. The Cats" out
played and out classed the Lions one
half of the game, but lacked the punch
to put the ball over The Cats" Backs
showed a nice brand of ball carrying as
they skirted Laurels ends and punched
their line for good and long games.

punting for the Cats" both doing well

ROOM FOR MEN IN REFORESTA-
TON WORK

Washington, Oct, 20, CAMP With
the ending of the first six months per-
iod of enlistment in the Civilian Conser-
walton Corps, Oct. l, Director Robert
Fechner, estimated that 100000 of the
100000 men enrolled would leave the
service to return to jobs in their homes
or to school or for Other reason. Their
departure will leave room for that
many new men.
In many distructs where colored
men did not get in on the first en-
listment through the desire of whites
to place their young men in positions
it is felt this second enlistment will
open the way for additional men. The
men selected must come from depend
ent families who are upon relief rolls.
Social workers reported when the first
enlistment took place that many young
Negro men refused to accept places be-
cause they were fearful that they were
being conscripted for army service or
that they would be sent to forest camps
the south. 1t is felt that better I'M
derstanding of the service exists at this
time and that larger proportion of
Metro men will find their way into the
camps since their families from so large
a percentage of the dependent families
in most states.

A black man with Daniel Boone in

Kentucky. This man was the first to
give up his life A black man was with
Lewis and Clark when they explored
the West, York river being named for
him. A black man was with Phillip
when he entered Texas. A black man
went with Fremont on his search for
gold in California. Black men were
with Balboa when he discovered the
Pacific ocean, and a black man was the
settler in Chicago. In war we battled

helped to drive back and rescue terri

those hill fighters under Roosevelt, who
charged upon San Juan Hill and saved
the day. Has it been forgotten that
more that four hundred thousand black
men went to the front in the world war
That some states, ike Mississippi, sent
a larger number of Negroes to that war
than it did white soldiers? That of
the Nero draft, in many cases they had
a larger enlistment? That we gave for
the development Of America two hun

quilted service; that we helped to edu-
cate seven generations of whites? l
vet believe in the conciliatory and CO.
operative methods which in the past
we have employed which account very
largely for our most marvellous prog
ress. I yet believe right is right and
Cod is God I would despair l would
surrender if hope did not survive the
shocks of crushing events, and if I did
not believe there is a divinity that
shapes our ends, rough hew them as we
will. And then when look at the hap
penings and the shadows Of coming
events. one wonder for me is how is it
we have done so well. Having done
well in the past we must here do better
Right forever on the scaffold,
Wrong forever on the throng;
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadows,
Keeping watch above His own.
