We feel it great privilege to write under this cap
ton for the 10Th time and wonder readers give
any thought to the passing years. We have not gided
along bed of these sixteen years but rather
hard surface-or before had reached the years
from whence cometh security and strength the greatest
depression in history fell upon It like placing
heavy load upon the back Of little child to carry
indefinite destination-yet, here We carried
burden safely, better than countless numbers
of Seniors therefore, to Greenville this year
with happy hearts giving God praise for existence
counting the blessings by and with positive
of strength
A POSITIVE GROWTH
From the beginning the Afro-American Sons &
Daughters has enjoyed certain continuous growth; a
growth which has proved steadfast Our field represen
tatves of the highest type, men who do not
value the dollar above the interest Of the organizations
therefore, the people who have Joined the organization
have been faithful loyal sacrificing many times to
keep their policies in force and has been this type
policy holders who have made it possible hold every
inch of territory claimed by the organization.
EFFICIENCY IN THE HOSPITAL
Where there is efficiency in hospital, there is a
great hospital whether it is structure with hundred
rooms structure with ten There no greater COM
pment to be paid any hospital than that the medical
staff is efficient. Sometimes feel there are so many
witnesses to this fact it hardly necessary to mention
1t, yet we know throughout the ages will be sing
ing this truth There could hardly any Afro news that
did not include the hospital for since its dedication
has been the nucleus of the organization Our surgeons
IT. miller ana Dr. FullllOVe have made the Afro
tai famous they have established the confidence of the
people without which hospital can be recognized
People scattered everywhere believe the Afro HOSPITAL
In the doctors and Many whose have been
said to be hopeless have been the Afro HOSPITAL
This IS credit to the entire as well as to the
Afro-American Sons & Daughters
