ty and kindness to the humble
and less fortunate people shown
at this time of the year-the sea-
son Of Christmas, Chaunakach
and the New Year-brings rich
rewards to the community, state
and nation. Rep. Banks conclul-
ed his remarks with the state

treatment accorded the colored
people in America. ''The real in
fuence and sincerity Of the Tn
tied States is seriously impaired
because here in our own coun-
try, they practice bias and intol-
GRANGE and show a lack of under
standing openly evidenced by
civil and material discrimination
against the colored citizens of our
nation based solely on skin pig
mentation." A lively question
