FRATERNAL ETINGS:
Recognizing the fact that sports
play a prominent part in the
life Of the average American,
the Elks are instituting a Ma
tional Sports Program. Grand
Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson,
has always encouraged sports
in our youth movements. know
ing the part sports have played
in the lives of some of our most
successful personages. Let us
continue our sports program,
especially in the New England
area, from where many of our
greatest sports figures hailed.
New Englanders remember the
great performances by some of
these athletic stars. One espe-
cially in the hearts of sports
fans, who rose to world cham
pionship in his field, was the
late Major Taylor, world cham
pion bicycle sprinter. In world
wide competition this great COL
ored athletes sense of fair play
carried long after his retire
ment. Although he raced many
times under adverse conditions,
he gained the respect of the
nation, many in which were his
seyereSt white critics. Paul
Robson, another outstanding
athlete during his school years
is still interested in sports. He
was one of the men who per-
sonally carried the fight to the
major league club owners, in an
effort to have co'ored players
admitted to major league base
ball, and today, we have Jackie
Robinson, currently playing
with the Montreal Royals. A
