We regret SO much to have
heard of Reverend Harris, the
assistant manager, leaving. be-
cause he was such a character
as we need over here and we
do feel like in time he would
have been a worth while inspira-
ton here. But from what we
hear you can't blame him. No
worth while race man wants a
position of catering TO everything
the other race desires against his
people. That's a lot OF he trou-
bic with us. We play the role
of too much Uncle Tom and we
must remember they aren't just
the Southerners or Northerners
or Westerners; it's some of all,
will and ready to deprive our
people of every good and perfect
gift for the majority group.
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis George
Griffin, Jr. entertained about
twenty tots at their home Thurs
day, Sept. IA, celebrating the
first birthday of their small son,
Louis George, III. Games were
played including Fish Pond"
each child receiving a small sur
prise to nibble" on. Popcorn
necklaces were passed to each
child which were worn when the
group picture was made, includ-
ing the beautiful birthday cake
with its one candle.
Ice cream and cookies were
served after which each child re-
ceiyed a slice of birthday CAKE
to carry home.

save his shipmates. only to re-

it reminded him of a saying
