l-B-C-ing-

you over look it, in the club news,
column of this paper. Mrs. Hen
derson, president of Pleasant
Green's local wishes to announce
that ON July "a the local had a
lawn social and all the Ushers and
Eft es were especially invited to
gather with friends.
Now to get along with u
story. We want to say thinks to
some body for | knew it was some
well wisher or shall | say some
praying Usherette that caused
good fortune to come our way IN
the form of a little gas that ena-
bled us to take our Club Jelopy
out on its maiden trip. Oh yes, we
were all lined out including the
trusted chauffeur, Mr.. Robert
(Bud) Green. You can trust him
when you know he's asleep and
his assistant or my body in the
person off Mr.. Frank Cole. And
believe it OF not, at each point of
call we were received with out
$ retched hands. OF course they
expecting us to drop something
in the basket, Just as a little keep
piece until We returned again.
On one of our stops, someone
must have put out some advance
of cur arrival and just as a safety
first measure they had the B. B.
Boys on hand to escort US should
we by any chance venture too far
in the enemy lines. Thanks to
Lady Luck and our horse shoes,
we came out OK.
While our car was p%ercolating
fairly we'll with a strong south
east wind and a gallon of gas we
set our compass and in due time
dropped anchor at the harbor
known at st. Johns Baptist or
So. 18th st. The church your re-
porter has been trying to visit for
many a Sunday. After being in
troduced by the good president of
that Local in person of Mrs. Sum-
mers, we made a short but very
spicy and timely talk to the local,
praising them and also eneourag-
ing them in the good work and
their loyalty to the Union. After
the remarks the donation had been
given by us. the pastor spoke very
encouraging of the Union and said
he was in accord win the set-up
at large and with that he bid US
god-speed and we departed in
another good will trip which
ended at the Urban League.
Mass Meeting
At $3.50 P. M. members of the
locals gathered as the Urban Lea
que for the final meeting for this
month. To listen and e the re-
ports come in by the different
chairman of their departments
that would spell Walk or Ride
for our delegates who turned cut
to be u coed president for the
trip to the convention and New
York. Now We all know our presi-
dent can't walk that far. The con-
vention opens Tuesday of next
week. So its up to the half and as
for as the three quarter mark, the
trip seemed very doubtful but
when coming in the home stretch
our old favorite FAITH began
TO come to the front and at the
finish just nosed in ahead of MR.
DOUBT with MISS | TOLD YOU
so, coming in for the last money.
Now you will agree with me when
/ remind you again, that there's
many a slip between the Dough
and the Trip. | told you u dele

So after the race vas over and
The winner acclaimed "meaning
money in the hand' the president
land delegate) in her big hearted
way thanked the ehairmans, locals
its members in fact every body
that donated financially on at
least held a good thought for her
while struggling, and hoping fol-
q realization that she had prayed
and hoped some day to Q a dele

the Convention.
Now as she took her leave Sat
urday night via the Zepher Route
to Chicago, there to join the other
delegates from every where, west
south, and north and east to en-
train Sunday night in a said body
via Canada, Buffalo and New
York City and cross the bridges
to Brooklyn, we can only say to
