entirely familiar with her subject,
gave her listeners more understand

COLORED SCHOOL NEWS

If you had dropped in on the
crowd at Milford School No. on
Thursday evening of last week you
would have seen youngsters and
grown-ups spending pleasant
evening dancing and playing games
The auditorium was bedecked in
February's favorite colors, red,
white and blue. And in honor OF
the approaching celebration of Ne
gro History Week, the walls were
hung with portraits of such negro
notables as DR.. Garret c. Wilkin-
son, first assistant superintendent
of schools, District of Columbia;
Judge Jane Bolin, first woman jur-
ist of her race, New York City;
Arthur w. Mitchell, U. S. Congress-
man; Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune,
divisional director NYA; Marion
Anderson, world famous contralto,
and Joe Louis, the champ.
A peep into the home room of
grade would have given you the
meaning of such a gala occasion.
There the windows were lined with
an astonishing number of canned
vegetables donated by parents and
well-wishers. Everybody did their
best to make "The Tin Can Social"
a success. And there efforts GER
tainly were not in vain. Over two
cans of vegetables were
donated and about five dollars cash
was realized from the sale of hot
dogs and ice cream. These vege-
tables added to the surplus com
nodities will furnish a well-bal-
anced lunch for every child in the
school at least twice
week and for the under-nourished
children every day.
Much credit is due the commit
tee headed by Miss E. c. Scott for
planning and conducting this
unique and profitable affair and the
patrons who donated so literally
are to be highly commended for
heir hearty cooperation.

greatest men - Lin
- coin. Many words
OF praise and commentator
have been written about this
wonderful man. There are no
records that better exempIify
his innate qualities of charac-
ter than his Gettysburg ad-
dress. 1t was delivered during
a great war and it heaFtened
the people to fight for the thing
they thought, and WAS, right.
He was great leader for
peace and lived to see peace,
in a measure, restored to the
country he loved. Great things
have come about after dark
days, days of doubt, and great
loss of, life. This week the
war news has not been at all
like we would have it. Seem
ingly, there has to be time of
doubt, a time when things go
against us, but there is sure to
come happy day when right
prevails. E. Paul Burkholder,
in a recent address here, gave
three things that we must do.
First, have faith in our lead
ers; second, to sacrifice, and
third and most important, to
keep our faith in Divine Provi-
dence who cares for all in due
season. This is such sane
reasoning. We all can do
these things, and with a just
cause, the outcome must be as
we would have it.
