Good Evening.

(From The Children's Sute)
NY mother Is really pretty grand,
We often 90 walking hand III hand

And in the park TO our favorite scat.
She takes me some days TO the stores
Way up on the elevator 10 all the floors
Sometimes she buys me nice new coat,

MY mother makes desserts so NICE
Made OF chocolate or raisins and rice.
Some days have cookies nice and brown
For my supper when come home from town.
MY mother Is pretty nice most OF the time all right,
But she makes me brush my teeth morning and night.

street car conductor policeman postan and any otner
person whose civic ob keeps him In constant contact

According to c w. Web Der, ,employe of the Kanaga Trading & Ranching Com pany, for a good many years, the company claims it has suffered $100, 100000 damages from naval planes flying over his islands and disturbing his foxes, caus- ing the females to kill the pups. The Kanaga Trading Company operates in a big way to the westward in the Unalaska district. It con- trols and leases five islands on which it raises fur and sheep. At it's central trad ing port the company has a 10-room dwelling with cleo tricity and steam heat, two warehouses, a dock, other buildings and a $60,000 res idence in Seattle.
 Last September the com- pany took 100 head sheep which grow long hair so popular in making ladies' coats, and for which was paid $125 each for the ewes and $500 for the rams. On one island the company paid $14,000 dividends on the clipped wool.

HEALTH WEEK FOR
NEGROES ARRANGED
State Board of Health En-
dorses Program for
March 20 to April S

National Negro Health Week, which
is to be observed this year from
March 20 to April 5, has the endorse
ment and cooperation of the North
Carolina State Board of Health it was
stated by that body today.
The U. S. Public Health Service,
which years ago instituted the OBJ
servance of one week in the year, US
ually in the spring, to call attention
to the many things that Negroes
themselves can do to prevent disease
and lower their death rate, has issued
a suggested program of health acti-
vities to cover the entire week.
The program is centered about the
child and the school as important
factors in community health. It ad-
vocates organizing under the direc-
ton of the county health officer or
county physician health mass meet
ings to be held in the churches,
schools and clubs; health conferences
for mothers and children; the holding
of clinics for tuberculosis, teeth, vene-
real diseases, and the immunizatlon
against diphtheria and typhoid fever,
and for vaccination against smallpox
1t urges also the annual spring
cleanup campaign against dirt, flies,
mosquitoes, rats, an dother disease
furthering pests, and for the improve
ment of all sanitary conditions in the
community that are likely to men
ace health.
Thirty states shared in the observ-
ance of Negro Health Week last year,
several of which were the Southern
States bordering on the Atlantic coast
and as a result of these periodic
health activities, the U. S. Public
Health Service has been able to
note an appreciate decrease in the
Negro death rate in some Southern
States. Around 5000 communities
took part in the activities, and over
81, 900 homes engaged in cleanup and
sanitary improvements campaigns.
Over $50 clinics were held with to-
tai attendance of around 10000 per-
sons.
While the State Board of Health
has no special literature for this
week, it will as usual fill individual
requests for literature on specific
subjects The Board in further CO.
operation is asking all organizations
