 Citizenship Barrier
 You can depend on the question of citizenship to crop up whenever the Olympic games are at hand. The Olympic ruling on the matter is simple enough-an athlete may represent the land of his birth or naturalization. But once he has represented a country he cannot appear later wearing the colors of another.
 The slow moving machinery of naturalization deprived Uncle Sam of the services of many fine ath- letes trained and developed in this country only to return to the land of their birth and appear at the Olympic games in the role of op- ponents simply because they could not become American citizens in time to wear the red, white and blue shield.
 In 1924 Willie Ritola declared his intention of becoming an Am erican citizen in the hope of win ming a place on the U. s. track and field team only to find that the papers could not be put through in time The result was that he returned to and competed for Fin

Phyllis Closes
Annual Member
ship Campaign

The yearly drive for members
for the Phyllis Wheatley House
closed Wednesday night. Although
the total returns have not yet been
tabulated it is hoped and expected
by the head resident and other in
terested citizens the results of the
drive will at least reach the total
for the past year.
The usefulness of this institu-
ton during the past IL months
warrants the hope and justifes the
expectation. Phyllis has been the
inspiration for and the leading ex-
ponent of the Sumner Field prof.
ect now well on its way to accom-
pishment and through which the
disgraceful shacks housing the
people of that area have been re-
moved to be replaced by modern
and comfortable homes during the
coming year. Many women have
found employment there upon the
WPA projects for several months
past. There may be expected to
show some mode of appreciation
by joining the organization that
has made such employment posi-
bic.
In numerous other ways this set
Element house has shown its inter-
est and willingness in helping the
citizens of this city to overcome
the effects of the depression that
has engulfed so many. On June 10
there will be a social gathering of
auxiliary members new and old
at the house and while the drive is
formally closed it will still be pos
sible for individuals to register ap-
probation by joining before them.

Last Tuesday, May 10, the st.
Paul Ministerial Alliance held its
closing session of the year at the
st. James A. M. E. church, St.
Paul. In selecting its nine board
members, signal honors were paid
its colored members by the cleo
ton of Rev. VIM. E. Guy, pastor
of st. James, to its directorate.
This able representative of the
A. M. E. body has in years of serv-
ice in this area been frequently
called upon to represent his group
in interracial gatherings. AS a
Minneapolis pastor, he was called
upon to exchange pulpits with the
pastor of the Hennepin Methodist
church and was heard at other
churches during his pastorate.
Since his transfer to st. Paul, he
has kept his church in the fore
front of progressive institutions.
His election to the board of the AL
lance is a well merited honor.
