TO ALL OUR LOYAL READERS AND FRIENDS

This paper offers it's sincerest wishes
for Happy Christmas and Prosperous
New Year.
In the face of the admitted fact that the
last IL months have brought to many of
us great hardships and privations filling
our very souls with despair and bitter hui
initiation, it is yet true that we have lived
through it, overcome despair and humilia-
ton and are permitted to stand today in
the shadow of the greatest event in hui
man history, the birthday of the Christ.
1t is quite in keeping then that we
should wish our people happiness at this
suspicious moment when the whole world
mellowed in the memory of creations won
der, forgets past sufferings, lays aside
ignoble enmities and unites in the wish for
peace on earth and good will toward
men," And surely the past months have
not been without their lessons.
We have seen our government pour out
it's millions that men, women, and children
should not starve. We have seen the CWA
open doors that have ever before been
closed to us. We have learned that Amer
lea with all her injustice is not as cruel
as she could be.
We have seen our great national organ
izations working with undated energy to-
ward their final objective, the full and
effective freedom of our people. We have
learned to know that their success is the
measure of the cooperation we have given
. through which alone success is builded We
are learning to work together.

Comments
BY The Editor

Jack Quinlan of the Minneapolis
Journal in his sports column Mon
day, December Is, speaks of Joe
Louis as the "darky." Perhaps
Quinlan sought to be funny. Per-
haps he was trying to rival the de-
TEN-1014-Newman Sam
tested Brisbane of the Tribune.
What he really did was to anger
some hundreds of colored readers
of his paper to the extent of caus-
ing many to cease buying the
Journal. An employee who will
make his boss lose money is just
plain dumb. This is not the first
time that Quinlan has taken OPP
portunity through his column to
show how small is his regard for
Negroes. His effort this time was
singularly misplaced. The Asso-
ciated Press Poll has just declared
Joe Louis the outstanding athlete
of the year. Writers all over the
United States have paid tribute to
his prowess, his tremendous mag
netism at the box office, his gentle
manly qualifications. And this is
the man whom Quinlan designates
as a "darky." The Journal should
caution Mr.. Quinlan.
The event of the year at Phyllis
Wheatley that brings greatest joy
to those who engage in it is the an
nual gift dinner to the older citi-
zens of the city. Miss w. Gertrude
Brown, head resident, furnishes
the turkey or other main dish of
the feast. Members of the aux
iliary provide the rest of the menu.
Other friends donate the cars to
bring and return home the guests.
Many of these have been attending
year after year. For them, too,
it is the red letter day of the year.
Several of the number present last
year have since been called. Their
places will be filled by others who
have reached the IS year period
emitting them to an invitation.
The dinner this year will be held
at Phyllis Saturday night, Dec. %,
at o'clock. Mrs. Dora Pipkin is
general chairman.
Italy made no friends among the
civilized nations by her recent

The United States Department
of Commerce, Bureau of Census,
has issued a new volume dealing
with the Negro population of the
United States covering a period of
142 years. Many interesting facts
of Negro life and growth are re-
corded. 1t contains 20 chapters of
about $50 pages and is sold for the
price of 1925 which covers the cost
Of printing.
Among some of the important
facts made known we learn that
New York City has the largest
colored population, with Chicago
and Philadelphia running second
and third.
AS the edition is limited those
who would wish to secure a copy
must apply at once. Write to the
United States Chamber of Com
merce Census Bureau, Washing
ton, D. c. The name of the Book
is "The Negroes in the United
States 1920 to 1882"

81 gave, / gave my life for thee,
what hast thou given for Me 2"
Whatever may be our present
condition let us thank God for
his many extended mercies. May

ton for the joy we have received
in serving you during this year
and for whatever service we
have been able to render wheth-
er spiritual or temporal. 1 close

Gals believe these birds will pro-
duce broods in the wild this season
also.
The game department early this
year set 10000 birds as its goal this
season, and indications are that it
is likely to achieve this mark. Prob
ably close to 80 per cent of the birds
reared will be Chinese pheasants,
and the bulk of the other ten per
cent will be melanistic mutant
pheasantS, with a scattering of
chucker cartridges, valley quail and
Bob White quail.
Requests Drop Off
Requests from individuals for
pheasant eggs will fall below ear
iier expectations, according to Sup
erintendent Faudree. Nevertheless
he expects to have about 11,0cO
eggs allocated to private bird rails
erS who have Volunteered to assist
the game department. in its propa-
cation program.
An innovation in liberating this
crop of birds has been an
nounced by the game department.
About $4,000 pheasants will be kept
through the winter and released
next spring. Heretofore all birds
reared have been liberated in aut-
Imn months, with the exception of
hose retained for brood stock.

Question Series
Explains Pensions
Welfare Department Gives De-
tails; Should Send Applica-
ton To Okanogan

Old age assistance is available,
under certain conditions, to citizens
of the state of washington who are
IS years of age and in need. To
simplify the work of applicants for
this assistance the following ques-
tons and answers have been COM
piled by the state department of
public welfare, division of social
security, and released here by Ken
meth w. Bryan, Okanogan county
social service supervisor.
Q-Where do I go to get an ap-
plication for old age pension?
A-To the county office of the
division of social security of the
state department of public welfare,
at Okanogan.
Q.-Do have to go to that
office myself?
+ A.-No. Simply write to the office
for an application, fill it out and
mail it in. You will receive just as
prompt attention as though you
called.
/ Q.-Do I have to pay anybody
for help in filling out an applica-
ton?
A-No. Do not pay anybody any
thing.
Glow old do I have to be to
get the pension.
A.-Sixty-five years old.
GLOW much pension will I get?
A.-That depends upon how much
you actually need, upon the amount
of money available, and the num-
Der of applications. The law says
the old age assistance may amount
to $50 a month.
Q.-Can my wife Chusband) also
get an old age pension?
Ayes, if qualified.
Q.-How greatly in need must I
be to get pension?
A.-The old age assistance law
reads: Income inadequate to pro-
vide a reasonable substance COM
patible with decency and health"
In other words, if you lack enough
support fer food, clothes and shell
ter, and medical care, you probably
are "in need" within the meaning
OF the law. Each case, however, will
be decided on its own merits.
Must Be Citizen
Q.-Do I have to be citizen OF
The United States?
Ayes. If you were born In the
United States, or lived in Washing
ION Territory before it's admission
20 the Union in 1889, you are
citizen. If you were born outside the
United States, you must be natural
zed. Marriage before September %,
1922, gave woman the same citi-
1enship status as her husband had
1t the time, since that date mar
'iage has had no effect on citizen
hip status.
Q.-How long do I have to live
n this state before I can get a
,ension?
Alive years within the past 10
ears.
Q.-Does the condition Of my
