You 90 beoouse it is custom.
Then as we reod further on in
the 4th verse we find, IL hove
given them thy word: ond the
world hath hated them, because
they ore not Of the world, even
os | am not of the world"
God help US to understand it
Is the word of Godl
Then in the 18th verse, II
proy not thot thou shouIdest toke
them out Of the world, but thot
thou shouldest keep them from
the evil"
God wants we Chrstions to
stoy here and 90 on doing the
work thot He left for US to do.
The 10th verse is my CLOSING
thought, Neither proy for these
alone, but for them also which
shall believe on me through their
word"
kneeI by your bedside tonight
and proy.
1t is q greet consolation for mo
to know thot Jesus Christ, the
Lord Of Glory, proved for me
while on earth in the flesh. And
now He is proving for me in
Glory!
Ny proyer is thot while we op-
prooeh Eoster morning, os we
plan for thot service, moy we
have one thought in mind, let US
worship the Risen Lord!

FINISH OFF
THE POLL TAX

More than any other citizen,
the American Negro has been de
MED the day-to-day rights Of
democracy. The outstanding de-
NAL has been the right to vote in
eight Southern states because of
the poll tax, discriminatory reg
istration laws, and the white pri-
mary. Because he is the poorest
of the poor, the Negro is hit
hardest by the poll tax require
ment for voting in Alabama, Ar
kansas. eorgia. Mississippi,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas
and Virginia.
: But the denial of democracy TO
ten million Americans by means
of price tag on the ballot is
not a purely Southern or Negro
issue, as demagogic poll-tax Sen
ators declare. The poll tax is a
national - an American - is
sue. Mr.. Walter White, Secretary
of the NAACP. has observed,
THE denial to Negroes of the
right to vote through such de-
vices as the poll tax inevitably
leads to the denial of the right
of citizens of other races to vote. -
OF the ten million Southerners
kept from voting by the poll tax
at least six million are white
The only way to halt a filibus
ter of these enemies of democracy
is to limit debate - or, in leg
islative language, Invoke clio
ture." To do this, a % vote Of
the Senate is necessary.
Let your Senators hear from
/ you, from your friends, and from
every Negro organization. A
them to stand up for passage Of
HR Z, and to vote for cloture
Write them today.

SAVOY COMMUNITY
CENTER

Well. the Savoy managers, Bob
White and his band, took an eve
ming off last Saturday. Some of
the band boys went for a few
days vacation, and the managers
thought it a good idea to take
an evening off. However, when
Manager MeCants appeared on
the scene Sunday p. m. he was al
most mobbed, for not posting ad-
vance notice of the Saturday clos
ing.
Many of the young Center pa
irons expressed themselves in no
uncertain words, demanding ad-
vance notice in the future. Hav-
ing been young myself. made it
easy to see their viewpoint. So,
we softened up and with a sym
phatetic gesture, promised to not
dissappoint them in that way
again.
We are pleased to know that
so many of our young folks ap-
preciate the efforts of the Cen
ter management to give them the
better entertainment. We are in
full sympathy with them, and
shall seek opportunities to en-
large our programs for the pleas
ure of their favorite sports and
pastimes.
We want the young folks of
/ Seattle to know, that the Center
managers appreciate your patron
age, and splendid cooperation in
assisting them to maintain the
coveted record of better enter
tainment.
We are in full sympathy with
you in your demands for contin-
ued programs, so much desired
and needed, for all people at this
time.
We do appreciate your eager
inquiry as to the continuance of
our interest concerning your fav-
orite pastimes. Please trust the
the management to arrange, and
present, the best in entertainment
for your pleasure in the future.
Those who failed to attend the
Young Matrons dance at the Sa-
voy Center last Tuesday evening
missed on of the summer seasons
most pleasant entertainments.
The whole program was a
classy affair, mad well rendered.
Al Pierre and his orchestra
We're present as advertised, and
as usual, blessed every soul pres
ent. AL at the piano, created a
scene that made a favorable jit-
terbug paradise of the Center
Hall. OF course AL is good at
that.
Mrs. Hermenia Butler, presi-
dent of the young Matron5, to-
gether with her officers and |
are to be congratulated |
for presenting such a very pleas
ant entertainment for the pleas |
ure of their friends and the pub
lie. We hope to hear more of the
Young Matrons soon.

DISPEL THE
DARKNESS!
BY RUTH TAYLOR

I'VE are living in the dawn OF
New Day and we decline to re-
main in darkness"
This sentence from the Five
Freedoms statement of the Ne
groes expresses what must be
wanted by and for all people.
There is no color line between
Negro and White in ideals or
goals. We cannot remain in dark
ness nor must the world go back
ward once the war is won BY the
United Nations. Times have
changed for all of us, and all
the people of all the earth must
live as free men in the light,
There is no darkness but ig-
norance. I read once that those
who live on the mountains have
a longer day than those who live
in the valley. Sometimes all we
need to brighten our day is to
raise ourselves a little higher.
This is truism which can be
put into effect for all of US. For
this is the way we must climb
out of the darkness. We cannot
wait for someone to dispel it for
us, for light that can be turned
on and off is neevr permanent
light. Everything We learn, ey-
erything we do right, helps to
destroy the darkness for all time.
We can demand opportunities fol-
which we are prepared, far more
successfully than we can when
we are not yet ready for them
1t is really just the same as it is
with jobs - you know how much
easier it is to get job when you
already have one.
Only through education can we
go ahead. This does not mean
just technical education, impor-
tant though it is. 1t means edu-
cation of the spirit as well as of
the mind. We will reach the
heights of light, not through
clinging to old antagonisms aAa
hatreds, not by pressure or leg
islation, but by working together
with our fellowmen in sympathy
and in understanding, standing
up for what is right and doing as
We would be done by.
The one real hope for the flu
ture a future of light and
growth and progress, = is a rec
ognition of our common human
ity, of our common struggle to
rise above our old selves, of the
common ideals of all men of good
will. True we will find obstacles,
but understanding and hard work
will get us over them. And we
will climb at last to the height
where there is no darkness.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 9.-Willian
Helis, New Orleans oil man and
millionaire sportsman, said today
that an unnamed colt for which he
paid 100000, and about 5000, 1000
worth of other yearlings, will be
shipped here this week from his farm
near Lexington, KY. for the opening
of the Fair Grounds meeting
Thanksgiving Day The high priced
colt, son of Blenheim II, and 19
other thoroughbreds will be included
in the shipment.
Helis said that he had been ad-
vised by racing men not to take a
chance on shipping his mos valu-
able colt to New Orleans this winter
and had thought that he would con-
tent himself with seeing Attention,
Supermount and other high-priced
aged horses carry his colors at Fair
Grounds.
He was prompted to change his
mind, Helis said, by the influx of
several hundred highly bred year
lings from the Valdina Farm. Dix
lana and other big racing establish
ments to the Fair Grounds.
Fair Grounds officials said that
more than 500 thoroughbreds al
ready were on the grounds for the
65-day meeting and that the close
of the racing seasons in Maryland,
New York and Rockingham will see
another 500 horses shipped here.
Requested, the hard-hitting son Of
QUESTIONABLE and star of the racing
establishment of Ben F. Whitaker
of Dallas, arrived with others over

some on Pennsylvania avenue. Some
sets are plastic, some bone, some
chips of old ivory. Peg-in boards
are of wood, leather, paper and
cardboard. The sets may be used
in train or plane travel. They are
excellent for setting up problem

Chess books are in abundance, in
gay color tones, large print, durable
covers. For beginners there are "A
Primer of Chess" by Capablanca
"Mitchell's Guide to the Game of

The Game of Chess" by Tarrasch
(my choice if I could own only one

|baksi-MarshaII Bout
AT U|ine's Approved
By Boxing Board

Two hard-hitting heavyweights,
Joe Baksi Of Wilkes Barre, Pa, and
Hubert Marshall, Brooklyn, have
been matched by Promoter Goldie
Ahern for his Friday (November
19) show at Uline Arena. The fight
has been booked for 10 rounds.
Both are popular here. Baksi's
two-fisted attack has won him
decisions over Jimmy De Chard and
Gus Dorazio and knockouts over
Jabbo .Kenner and George Parks
In Baltimore recently he decisioned
Johnny Shkor. Marshall also has
an excellent local record, although
he was knocked out here by Jimmy
Bivins, No. ! heavyweight.
The bout was approved yesterday
by the District Boxing Commission
The commissioners, however, took
no action on Promoter Ahearn's re-
quest for two Monday boxing dates
each month. Nor was any action
taken on Promoter Joe Turner's ap-
peal for shortening the 30-day sus-
pension under which he recently
was placed.
