pull away from the National or

He'll In Heaven
By Davis Lee

New York, Jan. 4, (ANP)-
He'll broke loose in Heaven last
Tuesday night! Two angels in
Father Divine's kingdom. 20 w.
lis street, fought a battle that
made the Louis-Baer fight look
like a Piker.
The battle which began in the
kingdom ended in the street be-
tween a Miss Pretty and her hus-
band. Both at one time were
members of the kingdom. How
ever, feeling that Divine's being
God is a lot of hooey, the husband
withdrew from the kingdom and
made several unsuccessful at
tempts to persuade his wife to
do so.
The fight started when the hus-
band found that his wife was
turning all of their valuables over
to Father Divine which included
papers to his automobile and two
insurance policies. He followed
her to the kingdom and pleaded
with her to give him his papers.
This she refused to do, and upon
entering into the kingdom she at
tempted to slip them to one of
the angels, thus He'll broke loose
in Heaven.
Father Divine was holding a
meeting at his kingdom on 63rd
street during the battle. How
ever, at two o'clock Wednesday
morning three big cars rolled up
to the 115th street address. The
front and rear a was filled with
armed white men. In the middle
car two armed men rode in front
and two on the rear seat. Father
Divine sat between the two or the
rear seat.
He was ushered into the large
dining room where more than two
thousand angels were waiting.
Father and Mother Divine took
their places in the center of the
table. Food was served. Then
here and there an angel would
stand and give testimony as to
how Father had blessed her.
Presently four female agnels
situated at strategic points
claimed that Fathers vibration
had reached them. They fell up
on the table, upsetting dishes,
food and all. The entire two
thousand followed suit, tables
were completely upset, dishes and
glasses we're broken. A grand
stampede was on with many Be
ing mashed and trampled under
foot. Thus for the second time in
one night He'll broke loose in
Heaven.

CCC Dependents
Receive S7,0OO.00O

4AtG w AA AII4l NAAAlAAk AQAA3 g az
vised Robert Fechner, Director
of Emergency Conservation Work,
that approximately $4,000 young
colored men and wan veterans of
the Civilian Conservation Corps
camps have sent home to depend
ents more than 100000 out of
their earnings since April 1, 1895.
The Department stated that most
of this amount was allotted to de-
pendents by enrollees when they
entered the CCC camps and for
warded direct to the families of
the forest workers by disbursing
officers of the Office of the Chief
of Finance of the u. S. Army.
The basic cash allowance paid
enrolled CCC men is $50 a month.
All CCC enrollees with the excep-
ton of a few war veterans and a
small number of locally enrolled
men allot approximately $25 out
of their $50 a month cash allow
ances to dependents Immediately
upon being enrolled. At the end
of each month, the War Depart
ment deducts the amount of each
enrollee's allotment from his cash
allowance and mails this money
direct to the designated depend
ents. Thus out of $50 paid each
CCC youth, normally $25 is
mailed direct to the young mans
family and the balance of SIS is
paid in cash to the enrollee. In
addition, each enrollee receives his
board and lodging and all neces-
sary. summer and winter clothing.
During the first ten days of
December, the Office of the Chief
of Finance, through disbursing
officers in all sections of tn e
country, mailed out about $780,
900 checks to the families of en-
rollees. Although final figures
have not reached Washington, the
War Department estimated the
aggregate value of the checks at
S1,250,00 More than 100000
of this amount went into the
homes Of colored e~nrollees. This
sum-, representing the amount al
located to dependents by enrollees
cut of their November earnings,
is the largest amount sent to the
families of CCC men in any
month since the corps was
founded.
''The millions of dollars that
have been sent home by CCC en-
rollees represent approximately
five-sixths of the money which the
young men and war veterans have
earned through their work in for
ests, parks and eroded fields"
Director Fechner said today.
"Since the CCC was formed, it
has afforded approximately l.
100000 men an opportunity to
contribute substantially to the
support of their families. The
largest number of enrolled men,
including Indians and me- en-
gagged in CCC-type work in
Hawaii, Alaska, the Virgin Islands
and Puerto Rico, that have been
in the conservation camps at any
one time is SIG 861. War De-
partment records indicate that the
average enrollee spends eight
months in the CCC."
