WRITE TO MOTHER

On this happy Christmas morning, let forget
ther be she far away let tribute of love be
sent her. Honor dear old mother Time has scattered the
flakes her brow owed deep burrows her cheek
but she not beautiful now? The lips thin and shrnk
but these the lips that have kissed many hot tear
from childish cheeks and they the sweetest cheeks and
lips in the world The eye is dm yet it CLOVIS with the soft
radiance of holy love which fade The sands of
life nearly out but feeble she is she will go fur
ther and reach lower for than anything else upon earth
When the world shall desse and forsake you when leaves
you by the wayside to die unnote the dear old mother
will gather her feeble and carry you home and
tell you of all virtues until you almost forget that your
soul disfgured by vices Love dearly and cheer her
declining years with tender devotions.

papers position on the mat
ter, but naturally averse to
anything good, the Bulletin
object to the fight against the
granting of the desired dance
license because white people
joined in the campaign to
protect the youth of the COM
munity. This alleged writer
smiled after reading the Bull
etin's editorial subject, laugh
ed out loud at its reference to
our "unethical campaign" and
went into Mysteries over the
assertion that "the status of
Negroes who would sign a pc
tition against a dance hall"
should be investigated. The
Bulletin should know all
there is to know concerning
the investigation of ones sta
tus, for such an investigation
resulted in an order from the
owner of the property in
which the Bulletin headquart-
ers are housed, for immediate
removal of the Bulletins staff
from the premises.
The Bulletin has threatened
to run a serial on Negro At
fairs and Business" If this
entire series is of the same
nature as the first, not only
will the business status of the
Seattle Negro soar to a new
high, but we may even learn
that the Negro population has
been underestimate and that
actually there are no unem-
ployed Negroes in the city.
Don't expect the Bulletin
to join in any progressive
imovement-it has other ideas.

that to engage in literary
combat with other alleged

Extend Smyrna Town Limits


Two years ago Smyrna
Town Council had bill in the
Legislature to extend the linn
its of Smyrna to take in
"Spruance City," the State
Welfare Home area, and
Smyrna Landing and Duck
Greek. For some reason the
bill was withdrawn. AS Do
yer, Milford, Seaford and
other towns are extending
their corporate limits and Civ
ing a better showing as to
population, why should not
Smyrna get in line also. Add
ing another thousand OF more
to Smyrna would increase its
activities and Importance
among other growing centers.
Indeed it would be fine if
Clayton and Smyrna would
work together on this and
join the two towns into one
municipality. There is no bet
ter section in the state than
upper Kent. Smyrna-Clayton
could present a formidable
front if they would join
with a Will to do and serve.
1t would be a fine accomplish
ment. With navigatable wat
Ell at our door, and fine con
crete roads radiating to AL
parts of the State and East
ern Shore Of Maryland and q
railroad center toe, there are
great possibilities. It X not
too late to get a bill 'in the
present Legislature to extend
corporate limits.
