BORDEN BRIEFS

Last week we found the calendar
of Border M. E. Church filled with
many activities, indicating that an
intensive drive was nearing its close.
All the auxiliaries and several Cap
tains were putting forth every effort
to make Loyalty Sunday an all
around success. It is the consensus
of opinion that both spiritually and
financially it was. Both preaching
services, the Church school, the
Junior and the Young Peoples Ep-
worth Leagues were largely attended,
many inactive members were heard
from, addition was made, and
special offering of $500 was reported.
And although space will not permit
us to list all of the auxiliaries, Cap
tains and their friends who made
this possible in such a short period,
we do feel it to be fitting and proper
that we add that the Choir leads the
auxiliaries with $16.85, and that Mrs.
Josie E. Daniels led the Captains
with $12.95. These reports being pre-
liminary, December 6, when the
Drive ends, may find others in the
lead.
Sunday afternoon Rev. c. w. Stew
art, pastor of st. Peters A. NJ E.
Church, was guest preacher and
brought great challenging and in
spring message that captivated his
hearers, edited their souls, and sent
them away with food for thought ard
new motives for correctness of liv-
ing. It will be long remembered by
all who were privileged to hear it. To
him and his very excellent Gospel
choir, led by Mrs. Parkinson, we
again express our thanks and willing
ness to return the courtesy.

It seems to us that here is chal-
lenge to the Negro Ministry of the
whole nation. If any group should
have influence toward breaking up
the race hatred, fostered in a self
labeled Christian organization, ii
would be those who attribute their
activity to the cause of Christ. Our
Ministry has been active in politics,
been active in community projects,
has helped settle labor disputes,
has had a great deal to say and do
with things that are much farther
from the realm of ecclesiastical &C.
tivity, and yet has always over
looked this fostering breeding ground
of hatred that is directed against
the best and most ambitious of our

A. PHILIP RANDOLPH CALLS FOR
UNITED FRONT HERNDON
DEFENSE ACTION
Peery.

In a letter published in the New
York Age, June Is, A. Phillip Ran.
dolph, president of the Brotherhood
of Sleeping Car Porters. called for
militant action, widespread propa-
ganda, and raising of funds for the
International Labor Defense cam
paign to save Angelo Herndon from
the chain-gang, on the broadest
united front basis.
The full text of Randolph's letter
follows:
Editor of the New York Age:
1.-THE refusal of the United States
Supreme Court to review the case
of Angelo Herndon, who was SEN
fenced under a barbarous Reconstruc-
ton Law, to a Georgia chain-gang
for 20 years, because he led group
of unemployed workers in demon
stration for relief and had literature
of the Communist Party in his pos
session, constitutes a serious chal-
lenge and dangerous threat to
Negro Americans.
GAS a young, militant Negro lead
err of the working class, who has
demonstrated an Incompatible spirit
to fight, suffer, sacrifice and struggle
for his principles and ideals, an at
titude too infrequently found among
Negro leaders, young Herndon de-
serves the unstinted, definite and ag-
gressive moral and financial support
of every Negro with any pride of
race, regardless of his political phil
osophy.
eff Herndon must die, and that
certainly will be his fate under a
sentence of 20 years in a chain-gang
of Georgia, because of his militant
spirit and political faith, then the
freedom and life of no Negro is
secure in the South.
"While it is one of the fictions of
these United States that the Supreme
Court is above and uninfluenced by
the currents of public thought, an
analysis of the history of its de-
cisions will show that it does re-
spond to the massed waves of the
peoples sentiment.
Hence, the only way to free
Herndon is for Negroes to develop
united front in church, fraternal
society, social, political, professional
and labor organizations and join

All! But a lad in my teens,
Just a rugged, barefoot boy;
| I roamed the hills and forest
green,
Those days were my Pride and
Joy.
Down beside a ripping brook
so gay,
There l listen to the birds sing
in the trees;
| heard the echoes in the far
away,
And looked in the busy nest OF
the bees.
Down beside the burning fire
place,
| would enjoy myself at night ;
Reading of pirates with bearded
faces,
And of battles where men use
to fight.
And when my weary eyes would
call for sleep,
Up I would go to my bed to rest
my head;
Hoping and praying my soul to
keep,
Now my friends, / hope you
have enjoyed what I have
said!

AROUND THE TOWN


Hi, there everybody. long time I
don't see you. What have va been
doing for health sake? I jist know
va been making life gala affair.
What say then?
Everybody tries to stay wrapped
up in themselves to prevent their
name from being in the Gmelight
All, my friend, no matter how hard
you try to hide thing, there's al
ways a trace of it. "Fa' you cen hide
de- fire, but Lord, what va gonna
de- wild de- smoker"
That goes to say that, well, ah,
a certain young lady who evidently
doesn't get about enough, that she
pays cash to her escort to hit the
high life spots, and cruise in big
automobile with white broad-side
tires. If you can't get there GER
tain way, you'll make it another. But,
what does that matter, you'll get
there just the same.
Boy, oh, boy, did I almost reel
over upon seeing John Ellis the
other night? Well, I'll say. What was
so extraordinary funny? Whether it's
funny or not, he actually carried q
cane. If it was for support or just
style, it's more than I know, and
more than you'll ever know.
When q sweet little fellow, the
one who is known for his love EN-
and leave 'em tactics" gets naughty,
or we might even say, sorta bad, they
call him Lucas boy" FITS nice to
be naughty sometimes, but it's not
nice to be called such names, Lucas,
my boy"
Oh, say kids, after all this Sanity
gossip, wouldn't you like little re-
freshment? Alright, jump in my ole
omnibus and we'll start around the
wheel of chance. Did you say that
you guess you think you want an
"Old Fashion," Well. if that's what
the crowds craving for, ITO Jim's
Place." James. o. K gang. just smack
your lips for your drink is as good
as gone.
Who did we happen to run into the
other night at Martins, but the
mighty cool-headed Freshie Gordon.
He was just merely consuming his
holiday drinks. With him was the
carefree gentlemen. Hector Vassar
and Bill Penn. And darn, if they
weren't singing the same tune, IF
We Never Meet Again." Now, now
boys, don't let that torch song end
your pursuit, whatever it might hap
pen to be. Now. that's it, take such
things very lightly.
The crowd that took in the ORA
matte class dance last week, surely
did swing to the music of w. p.
A. orchestra. Better come out next
time. you'll be a-missing something.
Back to the old gag. Miss Evelyn
Mays is impatiently waiting for
Christmas to roll around. I'll let you
in on a little secret. Her sweet little
smile and waiting Is for that en-
gagement ring coming from the Mr..
Early Johnson.
The roaming Romeo has found that
his latest attraction has crossed the
river. It's only play time for the
one in st. Paul. Well, you can't play
a guy for "Chumpy'' long.
Now that we've been here, and
been there, and have done a little of
this, and yet a little of that, let's
head for the last roundup.
I'll be seeing va round town next
week. (Finis).

NEW YORK, January 28.-Stock-

Mining Co., have approved proposal
to reduce its capital to $l6,892 800,
or $40 share, from $20,270,718, or
$47.98 share.
The reduction was effected by a
write-down of $1,500,000 in normal

of $1,016,296 in the value of certain
obsolete buildings and equipment, re-
sulting in total write-doWn of
$2,516,596.
In order to make the reduction in
capital an even amount-$40 for each
outstanding share-a further cut of
$855,322 was authorized. making an
aggregate reduction of $3,371,918,
which will be transferred into paid

When directors made the proposal
several months ago, it was stated that
dividends could not be made SO long
