PRES. DORCH'S
NAACP REPORT
Annual Renort for 1923

1ue Executive committee beg leave
to report on it's activities for the wear
1888.
This past year has been very active
Although we did not handle any cases
of national Importance we were con-
stantly confronted with matters of
segregation that required our atten-
ton and vigilance. I believe we have
a more complete realization of the
value of the Association in this COM
munity today than at any other time
in its history.
Membership Drive
Immediately following the Annual
Meeting, we launched our Membership
Drive. Although we did not secure
as many members, or raise as much
money as we did in the previous year
yet, under the circumstances the Drive
was considered a complete success
The time selected for the Drive was
most lnconvenient as we'll as having
other factors enter into the situation
that hindered us in our work, namely:
the fact that Miss Juanita jackson
could only be with us for a period of
two weeks; the general economic con-
dltlons were not as good as they were
in the year 1887; and also the fact
that my time was limited due to the
passing of Mrs. Dorch.
We sent to the National Office, how
ever, out of the membership apportion-
ment and special gifts,-$1,i 73. 90
plus that sent by the Youth Council,
.-S228.5O, making total of S1,4O1 so
National Convention
After paying $4,000 for four dele
gates to attend the National Conven-
ton, and taking care of Campaign and
other incidental expenses, we had on
hand as of February 16, 1889, 1915. so
The four delegates that attended the
Convention served on important COM
mittees, and contributed greatly to the
success of the Convention, also gath
ering many new thoughts and inspira-
lions that we wish to put into practice
in our Branch.
The Youth Council sent as their
representative, Mr.. Reynold Costa,
who served as Chairman of the Steer
ing Committee. His influence at the
Convention was felt and appreciated
Youth Council
Our Youth Council here in Boston
has been very active. Just a short
while ago they held Mass Meeting
and secured Atty. Charles Houston
Special Counsel of the National Body
as speaker. The meeting was a huge
success, and raised the prestige of the
Council to place of National recogni-
ton. They have also broadcast over
Station WORL from time to time. and
in that way made the activities of the
Council, and the Association, more
widely known. AS / have often said
the Youth Council is serving a valu-
able purpose in this community.
American Red Cross Case
In March of 1898, complaint was
registered with the Committee against
the Boston Chapter of the American
Red Cross by Miss Edwina Kelley who
applied for admission and was refused
as they claimed she could not get the
disqualification Training that is a part
of the course. The case is still in
action, and since she is fully qualified
we do not intend to stop until she is

REST FOR FAIR PATRONS

New York-To insure rest for
patrons of the New York Worlds
Fair 1889, benches seating a to-
tai of more than $4,000 persons at
q time will be distributed over the
1916 acre site of the forthcoming
Exposition. According to a recent
statement by Grover A. Whalen,
president of the Fair Exposition,
these benches will be shaded by
many of the 10000 fully mature
trees which, in one of the most
arduous of all the Exposition's
projects, were tra~nsplanted by a
veritable army of workmen- These
benches will be easily accessible
to the 300, 900 visitors expected to
pass through Fair ~turnstiles every
average" day. As s~anctuaries for
tired, if enthusiastic patrons, most
will provide vistas of fountains,
cascades, floral patterns and other
soothing elements of an elaborate
landscaping program.

Not nearly as interesting as the

are the 'best feet" o being
shamlessly put forward by the
ladies.
Toes poke pertly out of holes in
milady's slippers. Heels rise
bumpily over uncomfortable look
ing ridges Of leather, giving shoes
a cut up look.
This, mind you, not by accident
which one could condone, but by
CHASTITY design. For when were
lumpy, stubby toes things of
beauty?
The nerve strain, too, of sitting
staring at toes pushing, straining,
all but bursting, through thin
shildings of silk, expecting the
hose to come apart any minute
and expose the girl friends de-
formed extremities, must be con-
siderable for any sociable swain.
No wonder more men are taking
up pool and billiards.
Another way to quit worrying
about the poor unfortunate who
needs a dime is to give him one.
Ignorance is bliss, and the op-
posite is that sick feeling when
the photographer shows you the
awful truth.
The abundant life has its faults,
too. Every time you get equipp-
ed for it, the manufacturers bring
