Urban League
Shows Progress

New York, Oct. s, CAMP
(Which way after 1887" will be the
topic of conversation as Urban
League secretaries from all sections
of the country gather in New York
late next month for the Twenty
fifth Anniversary Conference of the
national organization.
The National Urban League is
contemplating this fall % years of
work in the fields of industrial
and interracial relations and its
field force will meet at the nation
al headquarters to discuss the fu-
ture programs of the organization
in view of the quarter century of ex-
perience. This will mark the first
national meeting in the New York
area for the League since 1926, and
it is expected that each of the 43
branches will find itself repre-
scented at the conference table.
Beginning with a staff of two
persons in 1910, when specialized So
ciaI service for Negroes was almost
non-existent, the League has had
rapid growth. Today its branches are
spread throughout the nation in most
of the large industrial centers and
its employed staff numbers more
than three hundred and fifty trained
and experienced social workers. In
addition there are about 80 persons
who have been trained on Urban
League fellowships serving in the
fields of social work, research, and
the teaching profession throughout
this country and the Virgin Islands.
The last few years have seen a
very rapid shift Of the responsibility
for much of the nations social SER
vice and employment work to the
federal and state governments. This
has naturally necessitated a shift in
the contracts and the activities of the
League. 1t is this new development
in their chosen field that will engage
the attention of the workers at the
October pow-wow. 1t is expected that
some of the government officials re-
sponsible for the various depart
ments Of the New Deal and its al
phabetical agencies will also attend
and join in the discussion.
The topics listed in the tentative
program just off the press indicate
that attention will be paid to the Ur-
ban Leagues future position in the
fields of industry, Negro health
work, recreation, neighborhood and
home Improvement, workers educa-
ton, and the like. The conference
will be open to the public and the
Leagues national headquarters at
1888 Broadway, New York, will furn-
ish further information to interested
parties.

THE
WANDERER
BY F. C. B.

AS we near the cold winter
months there will be more indoor
affairs and for those of our friends
who do not know toasts we will
give a few here that vii be ap-
propriate for the fireside nip.
O.
Here is one for the girls:
Here's to the swan that swims
near yon fair shore,
I love one truly and l love no more
May willow-branches bend and
break
Before that one 4 shall forsake."
o.
For the fellows we offer the
following:
Here's to the girl that's strictly
in it,
Who doesn't lose her head even for
a minute,
Plays well the game and knows
her limit,
And still gets all the fun there's
in it."
The beer drinkers might like
something like this:
Here's to the girl I love,
I wish that she were nigh,
If drinking beer would bring her
here,
I'd drink the damn place dry"
g.
The married man of course will
drink to his wife SO here goes:
Here's to mans friend and adviser,
His comfort and helpmate through
life,
To his failings and meekness none
wiser,
To the best little woman-my
wife"
o.
And here's one for the married
woman:
Here's to the man who loves his
wife,
And loves his wife alone,
For many a man loves another
mans wife,
When he ought to be lovin' his
own"
The attorney has his own:
Here's to bride and mother-in-law,
Here's to groom and father-in-law
Here's to sister and brother-in-
law
Here's to friends and friendship
law
May they all need an attorney-at-
law"
And for all of US here are a few
selected ones:
"The Frenchman loves his native
wine,
The German loves his beer,
The Englishman loves his 'alf and
'alf,
Because it brings good cheer"
"The Irishman loves his "whiskey
straight,
Because it gives him dizziness,
The American has no choice at all,
So he drinks the whole D
business"
There is no comparison between
wine and ONE Wine improves
with age.
"While we live, let's live in clover.
For when we're dead, we're dead
all over"
"Give me a brook, a summer night
A shady nook by moons soft light
A girl who's sweet and fair to see
And you can leave the rest to me-.
O.

toast send it to F. G. B. care of
the Guide and it will be published

sidewalk. One was his companion in

man he had not seen before. The latter
had Don Stuart by one arm but that
contact was not the friendly assistance
which Ben had offered the old fellow.

tried TO draw away but the other was
