Relationships
By ELEANOR ROSS

THERES much talk these
Il days of juvenile delinquency
but talking with court officials
and others who come in contact
with young people we find that
few if any offenders ever come
from homes where parents and
children spend much time to-
gether playing games or having
fun with home recreational
pursuits.
Young folks love home
where there is good fellowship,
where nom or dad or friends
make things cheerful and where
there is a shelf of all sorts of
games.
The shops just now are filled
with parlor games that young
sters and adults can enjoy to-
gether. There are new games,
old favorites and modern adap-
tations Of old favorites. A sup
ply of these games will pay
dividends in comradeship and
mutual understanding

But such action must be carefully

Interracial Planning
For the Community

Social work for Negroes" is a
phrase which is passing rapidly,
and happily, into disuse. Instead,
thoughtful community leadership is
now aware that social work among
Negroes is only another phase of
social planning and action for the
whole community's benefit. An even
more apt description would be Gin
terracial planning for community
organizations" which is the title
of this bulletin. 1t is the first of a
series that will discuss the plan
ming side of race Relationship
point out some of the "one-two-
three steps" best calculated to i'm
prove both the status of Negroes in
their community and relationships
between them and their white fell
low citizens.
The question of better race rela-
tons and improved Negro welfare
has moved from the "Why 7" to the
"How?" stage. Civic leadership
throughout the country realizes
that racial friction is not ameli-
GRATED by ignoring it, and that be-
hind it lie specific social and eco
nomic causes that can be removed

In MemOriam

In memory of Marcellaine Thomas, who
passed away one year ago, August 4, 1913.
On August the fourth my heritage began,
Life gave happiness, love and sadness on
every hand,
But on August the fourth in forty-three,
God took someone precious from me,
l know God does things for the best,
For he took my dear daughter to heaven
to rest.
Although it seems more than could
stand,
But thru this suffering God has taken
my hand.
But who am to complain
For there are others to share my pain.
Dear daughter, mother, father and brother
miss you SO,
And prayed to God to keep your life aglow,
Seeing you suffer and never complain to
meet you in heaven is surely our aim.
Our hearts are heavy with sadness every
hour of the day,
You've paid the debt we've yet to pay.
Oh, August the fourth that gave and
taken breath,
Is my anniversary and memorial of life
and death.
Sadly missed by Pvt. and Mrs. James II.
Thomas, parents; James H. Thomas, Jr.,
brother.

CamphOr Memorial Methodist
Church Notes: prayer is a two
way proposition, although most of
US make it one sided matter.
-. We talk to God and make our
desires known to Him, but we
rarely, if ever, wait long enough
to hear God speak to US. We
never take time to find out Gods
will for u.s." declared our pastor,
Rev. Clarence T. R. Nelson, in the
first of the series of sermons on
Prayer at the worship service last
Sunday morning.
The spiritual tone of the service
was heightened by the singing of
Mr.. B. L. Greer, gospel singer and
leader of the Wayman A.M.E.
church choir, Minneapolis, who was
one of the visitors at the service
with his aunt also a visitor, Mrs.
Kate McCrea, a member of the St..
Marks Methodist church, Chicago.
Although Brother Greer did not
come prepared to sing, he very
readily accepted the invitation of
the pastor to sing gospel song
just before the sermon and we were
blessed in the fact that this con-
secrated singer led US in the sing
ing of two stirring songs. Mrs.
Clara Jones made her Christian de-
cision when the invitation to church
membership was made after the
sermon and several persons came
to the altar for prayer. Visitors
to the service included: Harry
Richardson, Ben Holt, Mrs. J. H.
Blair, Mrs. Geneva Wesley, a men,
Der of the Wesley Methodist
church, Jacksonville, Fla; Thomas
Hickman, Miss Jimmie Garland,
two members of the Navy sta
toned at Void Chamberlain Field,
Walter T. Price and Henry Jones.
A service of prayer was held for
the members in the armed forces
and for conscientious directors on
religious grounds in the evening.
Rev. Nelson will deliver the Sec
ond of the series on Prayer" at
