Already more than two mil
lion pieces are either in use or in
preparation bearing the emblem,
and by May LIST we hope to have
Washington State Invites a Mil
lion on seventy-five per cent of
the mail leaving Seattle"
This specially designed insignia
has two purposes. First, it should
create a Washington Conscious
ness throughout the state itself,
and remind Washington citizens
that thew have something to be
proud of. Also it is hoped that the
emblem will attract interest and
comment by recipients outside the
state, and so give added force to
the other advertising and publicity
done for the state.
Business firms who are willing
to cooperate with this civic enter
prise may have the emblem print
ed on their stationery at no added
cost" said Kramer. Nearly every
printer in Seattle is backing our
program 100 per cent and will i'm
print the insignia with any print
ing order at no added cost. Any
commercial or private printing
plant may obtain Washington
State Invites A Million cuts by
calling at the Junior Chamber of
Commerce office at 215 Columbia
ST."
This year the Invite a Million"
program is being conducted on a
statewide scale by the Washing
ton Junior Chamber of Commerce
and the Washington State Pro-
gress Commission. The first part
of the project, the insignia drive,
is already under way and the Jun
ior Chamber plans to make this
emblem a permanent program.
In April the eleven Junior
Chambers of Commerce in the
state will sponsor an Invite a Mil
lion" campaign similar to those
sponsored in recent years by the
Seattle Junior Chamber of Com
merce. Scenic invitation cards are
being prepared and the Junior
Chamber is planning a mass mail
ing of from one to three million
invitations to leave Washington
during Invite A Million" week.

Mother is an angel,
Shining up in the Heavens above
She's gone to live with Jesus,
To share His eternal love.

When we lay our burden at Je-

On Heavens golden shore.
Sleep on.

ST JOHN AME CHURCH
1.-THE Friendly Church
DIR. R. A. Adams, pastor

The Fathers Day Service at
St. John were very good. The
Sunday school opened with a very
good attendance.
The Fathers Day Sermon was
preached by Rev. Jessie Glover of
Los Angeles, Calf. Rev. Glover is
an Omaha boy who is making
good out ON the coast.
He took his text from Luke
5 chapter and 20 verse. The sub
ject was Gam l setting the or
rect example in my home as a
Father"
His MESSAGE would make all
men of any thought set an
example as a father or man, look
themselves over to see where their
short coming could not be mended.
Rev. Glover's message was so
interesting that one did not get
tired listening to him. His message
was very plain and so clear that
anyone could follow it.
Those who have known Rev.
Glover since his small boyhood
days were greatly encouraged over
his improvements that he has
made since he left Omaha.
The people of st. John should
be proud because he grew up in
st. Johns Sunday School.
The Mems Day and Fathers
Day program were very good
all day. The men did not yet get
to make all their reports as they
expected because the rain did not
permit them to come to church
Sunday night. The rest of the
reports will be turned in next
Sunday.
