Welcome Hall
to Observe
Health Week

Welcome Hall Community Cen
ter, st. Paul, will observe Negro
Health Week with a mass meeting
Thursday night, April 6, in the
Welcome Hall Chapel at 7:30 p. m.
The program for the evening is un-
der the auspices of the Welcome
Hall Health Committee, whose
members are DR.. C. M. Young,
Louisville, KY, Chairman, Rev.
Clarence T. R. Nelson, Camphor
M. E. Church, William C. Foster,
University of Minnesota, and Lath-
rop Rogers, st. Paul. The program
will consist of the following num-
bers: Music by the Federal Jubi-
lee Quartet, discussions by mem
bers of the Welcome Hall Health
Committee, and a sound picture,
"Let Ny People Live"
The National Negro Health
Week is under the supervision of
the National Negro Health Move
ment which was founded by Book
er 7. Washington in the year 1915.
This years observance marks the
Silver Anniversary of the project.
The objective for the year 1889 will
be the Citizens Responsibility for
Community Health. The Health
Week program as outlined by the
National Negro Health Week Com
mittee has two definite detectives:
~ To provide practical sugges-
lions for the local Health Week
Committees that conduct the OBJ
servances, and (2) To stimulate
the people as whole to coopera-
tive endeavor in cleanup, educa-
tional and clinical services for gen
eral sanitary improvement of the
community and for health better
ment of the individual, family and
home.
The time for the Health Week
was chosen as a memorial to Book
er T. Washington, its founder.
April 5 has been chosen as DR..
Washington's birthday, notwith-
standing the fact he states in his
autobiography, Cup From Slav-
ery," "I do not know the month or
the year."

The first annual Dadson Banquet,

a successful event.
Both dads and sons were treated
to some high class entertainment.

Dorothy Thompson, writer for
numerous dailies, for whose writ
ings I have a large respect, cites in
opposition to this legislation, the
case of a family with an income of
$4,000. Present taxes leave them
with $4,000 which this legislation
would cut in half in case of war.

Miss Thompson, do without serv-
ants, eat less expensive food, get a
cheaper fiat and send the children
to public school. And why not {?
We waste too much sympathy on
families like this who have more,
under all circumstances, than they
deserve. Pm thinking of the fam
lilies who seldom get enough to eat
or wear, find it hard to keep their
children in school. These families,
whose men folks furnish the ma
terial for war.
These are the people who ought
to be consulted when we contem-
plate war, and these are the peo-

Two measures now before the
Congress hold a deep interest for
the American people. Viewed in
the light of current history these
measures may be said to be vital to
Americas future; perhaps to the
future of the entire world.
One of these is known as the
Ludlow amendment. It's purpose is
to keep America out of war until
the people vote to enter, provided
its provisions do not hold in case
of an attack by a foreign foe
launched against the United States
or the Western hemisphere.
The other measure is in case of
war, to take the profits out of bust
ness investments which grow from
such war. =..
With both Of these measures I
am in accord in principle. It is
quite possible each of these meas
ures may require a change from
the language in which they are
written in order to meet fairly and
equitable the just needs of those
who will be affected by their pro-
visions.
In the main, however, l should
like the privilege of deciding with
all our citizens the question as to
whether we wanted to go to war or
not.
In the opinion of this columnist
the second measure would prove
the greater deterrent to an I'M
wanted war. If the sacrifices in
blood and suffering, sure to be met
by the man in the street, were to
be matched by the businessman
. with the money increased sale of
war material would bring there

tive which reconciles so many Of
them to other mems deaths.

to arguments advanced in good
faith against either Of these pro.
posed measures.
But l have little patience with
arguments that are in the nature
of camoufage, arguments which
evidently seek to dodge the issue
and have no basis in fact.

time for a referendum of the PEG

Poetic Thoughts
A Two Handed Game
By MORRIS GIBBS. Sr.

\ TWO HANDED Game
A two handed game is when two people play
The kind of brand most any day.
For two to play anything together good
Is considered quite a feat in any neighborhood.
Pairs used in lots of games
Tennis, cards and plays of hundred names.
But in all games the rule holds true,
When you play be fair with your opponents
Forgetfuness negligence undue haste kindred acts
Don't excuse your way of playing when the backs
Of turned hard for strength
Is you should be false at any length.
Sometimes in the game desire to win
Makes us forget that the other fellow grin,
In the face of misfortune and disaster around,
By proving they take it, and make sound -
A two handed game be full of fun
If we remember the rules at the start of the gun,
For in life two play noble game
Which has competition and is not tame.
