MT. OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH
Rev. c. B. Wheeler. Pastor
MaceO Simmons, Reporter


Now that the new year has be-
gun, it is interesting to note how
the various department heads are
rushing to get their work started
for the year. At the pastors con-
ference, held on last Sunday, all de-
partments were represented and
seemed to be of one accord.
Their aim is to help put the pas
tors program over. The member
ship of Mt. Olivet have learned too
we'll that the only way to have a
successful church is to throw your
whole soul and spirit into the work
and do it the best you can.
Sunday morning the pastor will
speak from the subject, New
Year" At 8 p. m. the regular Gov
enant and Communion services will
be held. The church is starting a
three month financial drive to help
liquidate some of the urgent indebt-
edness which come due early this
year. Every member of the church
is urged to line up with one of the
IL units and be ready to start when
the word is given next Sunday.
If you have no church to attend
on next Sunday, visit Mt. Olivet.
Cultivate the habit of going to
church on Sunday and it will do
thee good. The Rev. J. C. Bothic,
who pastored the Mt. Olivet Baptist
church for more than four years,
died in Ancker Hospital Tuesday.

cesSes and new romances ahead
everyone looks forward to the New
Year, 1910, and what it will bring,
The newspaper staff joins Sal in
hoping that all your wishes and de-
sires be fulfilled. AS for your reso-
lutions, if you made any, well, we
hope you keep them too. If your
resolutions are like the kind S. of
St. Paul made tone was that he'd
quit jibing all girls but go to the
other extreme and tell them really
what he thought of them), l think
perhaps you'd better strike them
off your list, cause we do want you
to see 1910 out next year.

schools. Sal met the following very
fine looking representatives: c. E

was as cute as could be.

sincere and honest as the present
Mayor Walter Kanar. He is truly
a champion of the working class of
people, having come from that
group himself. Never in the his
tory of our city administration has
chaos and strife so completely
wraeked our city as at the time Wal
ter Kanar was given the city reins
by a majority vote Of the City Coun-
Gil. He has proven beyond a doubt
he is truly a champion Of the work
ing people and a humanitarian. He
has worked untiringly for the res
toration Of welfare cuts, mother and
widow pensions, WPA projects and
many other causes for the benefits
to all classes Of people.
The Friday night meeting Of the
United Districts club acts as sum-
narration Of those held during the
week. Mrs. Iris Page Butler was
chairlsdy OF the meeting DR.. G.

sire TO work for the progress Of his
people. Many speakers appeared
on the platform, each giving his
qualifications for the office for
which he is aspiring. A most IN

date. representing the east side.
This attendance has grown until II
now ranks among the largest gath
erings. The chairlady was Mrs
Mabel Whigham. | would like to
suggest that we attend these meet
ings earlier as the candidates are so
numerous that much time is con-
sumed and meetings that start late,
naturally end later.
At the outset Of this campaign the
individuals concerned pledged them
selves to conduct a clean cam
paign. On reading one Of the To-
cal papers of very recent edition,
| find that there is no adherence
to this pledge whatsoever by the
opposition. That's an example Of
how they will keep their promises.
But on the other hand, to date, can
didates on Walter Kanar's platform
have refrained entirely from any
so-called mud-slinging. Mud-sling-
ing in campaigns does city no
good, the people that live there,
nor the candidates that use it.
Il is the opinion Of this writer
that the city Of Hamtramck has
never had a mayor who has seemed
so straight forward, eonsiderate.

Views And
Reviews

Everybody in the city of Ham
tramck is well aware of the COM
ing election But one point that
usually slips by until the last min.
ute is the actual act Of voting. II
you happen to be one who does not
know how to vote, do not be afraid
or ashamed to ask your captain or
supervisor for directions. People
have been known to have been
elected to office and yet did not
know the correct way OF voting.
March s is voting day. so do
not wait until then to ask ASK
NOW. You are not the only one.
There are a great many who need
voting instructions. Following are
the views Of some Of the leading
young Negro citizens in our city.
Let's read their points on politics.
Here's what Mr.. Elias Carmi-
ehael says: The past week found a
wonderful gathering on hand Mon
day night in the south end. The
largest ever to attend a meeting in
that section. II is evident that the
Kanarites are doing a very good
job. Those individuals have turned
on the steam now. Keep up the
good work, boys. Our good DR.. H.
L. Henderson presided as chair
man. Mayor Walter Kanar de-
livered another one Of those heart
to heart talks, mixing his talk with
a bit Of humor. The large crowd
enjoyed the address.
Wednesday found another large
crowd assembled on Dequindre
avenue. Ann Smith acted as chair
lady Of this meeting. Thursday

'SKIDDING'

TIE. l-0SSi & S

"Skidding" is one OF the major
causes of auto accidents during the
winter season.
Half OF the accidents happening
at this time OF year are mainly at
tribu,ed to notwithstanding II
the number OF claims | have thus
far handled.
Such familiar reasons are given
as. IF | didn't skid. would have
been able to stop in time" IF l
hadn't skidded. would have been
able 10 swerve out OF his way" l
skidded and lost control Of my carr"
or, "He slid into me"
We all are aware that slippery
streets are either directly or indi-
rectly responsible for these acct
dents. and have to be particularly
guarded against.
It is tn general opinion OF some
that skidding is simply unavoidable
Yes, in a sense. yet the law requires
all motorists TO always have their
cars under control. This can only
be accomplished by complying with
the rules Of the road am about to
mention.
Try to stop your car at a safe
distance behind the one in front
giving yourself ample time in which
10 stop at a moments notice. should
it become compulsory.
Another is driving at moderate
safe speed TO meet conditions OF the
road. II this is prscticed, am of the
opinion that you will experience
little or no difficulty in manipulate
ing or handling your car in the
proper manner.
Thirdly, study road conditions
and keep constantly in your mind
the things you should or should not
do under those circumstances Also
consider the chances that should or
should not be taken to avoid an ac-
cident, an govern yourself accord
ingly.
While driving on very slippery
roads 20 are bound to skid 10
some extent, but to avoid any great
danger or damage. if you have :-our
car under control. it places you in
the position to prevent these acct
dents from taking place.

In the dense forest where the rays
of the sun rarely penetrate and
where the gloom is so great that
it always makes you feel you are
living in perpetual twilight, you will
find you are in the setting which
the Canada lynx considers ideal.
There are many such places in Can
ada and when it is necessary for
these animals to travel in order to
obtain food, distance means little
to them. True, when the babies
are young they must remain with
their mother and or 5 miles is
the best they can do. Later they
have no difficulty in keeping up
with their parents and may go so
miles, if it is necessary, to find the
meat supply they crave.
Few if any other animals are able
to go through as thick underbrush
as the lynx. 1t loves to walk the
fallen trees and, without any SEEM
ing reason, jump from one to
another, as if to keep in trim. Where
there are no obstacles the creature
does not make so swift progress.
In spite of the fact that the lynx
is a cat, it is a good swimmer.
Moreover, it is not averse to swim
ming, but will do so when it finds
it expedient.
The love song of the lynx is the
caterWaullng that resembles the
