be both great singer and a great
musician. His performance was
devoid of anything spectacular.
There were no gestures or other

perfectly pitched voice. From the
quietest pianissimo to a climaxing
fortissimo, he always retains that
rich tone quality for which he is
world famous. Mr.. Hayes showed
his graciousness by singing to the
various sections of the audience,
turning even occasionally to those
forced to sit in the choir loft be-
hind him. His program included

Montana Pioneer
Dies In Helena

Probably the oldest colored cit
izen in Montana and one who lived
more than sixty years in the same
city, the same house all the time
and whose family is prominently
known throughout the state, after
several years of affliction, passed
away at her home last week. Mrs
Mary Mcdonald, called Grandma
by most persons who knew her,
came to Montana in the year 1854
with her husband, Richard Nc
Donald, his brother and sister. Mr..
Mcdonald was freighter using OK
| teams, when the business collapsed
upon the entrance of the railroad
as a competitor. He then entered
various occupations until his death
in 1898.
Mrs. Mcdonald was born in
Jackson County, Missouri in 1941,
her maiden name was Mary Har-
ris and she was a bride of but
one year when she braved the then
wild waste of the then trackless
country. Often in later years she
would relate the terrors confront
ing them with every mile of travel
during the four months trek over
barren spaces where wild, hostile
Indians, contested every mile of
advance made by strangers into
their territory. Six children were
born to the McDonalds, five in the
present home on South Tracy, in
Bozeman. Three children survive
her, Mrs. Mollie Gross, Miss Belle
and Miss Melissa MsDonald, all of
Bozeman. Other survivors are Mr..
and Mrs. Richard Fisher of Butte.
Mrs. Fisher is the daughter of
Mrs. Gross.
When the Mcdonald home was
erected on South Tracy, the now
prominent and populous resident
section of the city was then but
a prairie. Mrs. Mcdonald was a
member of the Methodist church
The funeral was conducted by the
Rev. o. M. Hoff and the Rev.
Walter B. Spalding. Burial was
in Sunset Hills cemetery.
Miss Katherine Pope of Kent,
Washington, who is visiting Mrs
c. H. Harell, was a dinner guest
of Mrs. A. G. Dorsey last week.
Bill Munday has got himself a
new auto. He bought one last
year when he took his trip to the
San Francisco Fair. Trade 'em
every year and no wear out.
That darned little fellow, sup
posed to be a prognosticator of
weather whenever February looms
in sight, SO far as Helena is con-
cerned, has lost his grip. We are
enjoying weather that would turn
Californians green with envy.

I am called No-More, Too-Late,
Farewell"

AME's Hold
Quarterly Conference

Presiding Elder c. B. Clemens
held his second quarterly meeting
Sunday. His sermon was one long

Clemens sermons are always
splendid, but he was at his best
Sunday for it was extraordinary.
There were many at the morning
service; at night the choir gave
a short song service, which was
well rendered.
The Quarterly Conference show
ed all departments of the church
progressing under the leadership
of Rev. Stephenson. The Presid-
ing Eldr complimented the pastor
for tn esplendid work and the
members for their hearty cooper
alton.
The reports revealed six addi-
tons to the church and 10 mar
riages for the quarter.

Rev. and Mrs. D. c. Stephen
son celebrated their first wedding
anniversary last Tuesday night at
the parsonage, on South Yakima
Ave. 1t was a very beautiful af-
fair; a pleasure to see how happy
this young couple looked. AS the
first year of welded life is paper,
there were numerous gifts, but a
noticeable feature, was so many
envelopes with something green
in them; it was green paper, you
may guess the rest. All wish the

for their expressions of friendship
and esteem. Rev. Allen says he
has a birthday Sept. 5.
Although nearing the century
mark doesn't always spell old age
especially when the heart, soul and
spirit are young. This is the way
we feel about three mothers who
celebrated their birthdays with
open house Jan. % at the home of
Mrs. Katherine Grey in S. E.
Franklin. The trio were mother
West, SO, Mother Mayberry, rs and
mother in her 70's. Their dates
were in order Jan. %, "a and 81.
The afternoon was spent in sing
ing, speech making and reminisc-
ing as friends, young and old called
to extend greetings and partake of
delectable refreshments. fits and
cards expressed best wishes from
many friends.
Mr.. Richard "Dick" Stanton re-
turned to the University of Oregon
after spending the weekend with
his parents and friends and to ex-
press gratitude for the huge birth
day cake sent on his Natal day.
News Of the cake spread fast and
Dick was found sharing it with his
many friends. Happy birthday was
scrolled across the cake in the u
colors of lemon and green.

less poverty. Every worker breads
the waIk-out As he breads the suf-
fering Of his family.
When an American worker strikes,
he exercises his democratic right.
He violates no law. He violates no
code of ethics which is consistent
with democracy. But what of the
employer who seeks to prevent his
employees from organizing. who seeks
to destroy the right OF self -organiza-
ton and collective bargaining? He
Is not only violating law. he is de-
flying the sovereign power Of the
American people, he is saying in ef-
feet that. although democracy re-
quires of all citizens that they shall
respect and obey the law, he Is i'm
mune. OF the two. which one loves
and lives democracy? And which
one has lost faith in democratic prin-
ciples? Which one Is dislOyal to the
form of government which has es-
tablished the freedom OF American
workers and guaranteed by Federal
law their rights to organize. to bar
gain collectively and to defend COL
lectively economic justice?
Washington is now and has been
for months filled with representa-
tives of great industrial corporations
who have come here to investigate,
to bid on. and negotiate for lucrative
defense contracts. I have not heard
that any of them have offered to
produce defense articles without
profit TO themselves Indeed, the
keenness of the competition for de-
fense contracts indicates, without
question, that profit from national
defense is the outstanding induce
ment that brings them here. The
Government has once again resorted
to the cost-plus contracts, which are
