 The sum of $250 was voted to be spent on art and craft materials matching a like sum sent ty the Juneau Douglas chapter--for the educational and rehabilitation pro- gram at the hospital. Samples of the children's work during the past month were shown and the urgent need for materials to work with ex- plained.
 Mrs. Carl Nelson reported on the work done by the visiting committee = group of women who volunteered to visit the children during the month of May. These women help the children, three days a week, teaching them in simple crafts, read ing the youngest stories and writing letters to their families.

] { sitkas traditional Memorial Day parade and ceremonies was held Sunday under the auspices of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion.
 f Perhaps because we have the only l National Cemetery west of the Miss issippi, Memorial Day has always meant a great deal more than just holiday in Sitka.
 Waterfront ceremonies included an address by John Van Horn and one by Charles Whittimore con cluded by benediction by the Rev. Ernst Nygaard. A poppy wreath was cast into the bay for all the service men lest at sea-then a parade form ed to march to the National Csme- tery. Here the address was given by Hubert Gilbert and a prayer of ferei by Ralph Weeks.
 All day every street in town was swarming with younsters eight to ten years old, selling poppies. Every one was forced to buy both varieties and wear them or he was given no peace. They were wonderful sales men-in a good cause.
 Axel Hendrick Larson was found floating in the bay off the Webb Forbes Marine Repairs float early this morning and taken to the Pioneer Home morgue. Larson, a man of no known trade or means of support, has been in Sitka for ever l5 years and was known by every. He was torn in Goteborg, Sweden, october 8, 1883, according to his local police record and appar- ently was never naturalized. EXa- imitation of his personal effects by US Commissioner Frank Richards disclosed that he has Q brother, Fritz, living in Jamestown, New York.
 About a year ago, Larson had the unique experience of being taken to the morgue, apparently dead. But when Dr. Charteris was called the following morning to issue a certificate of death-he found Lar son walking acout, very much pug 1led over his surroundings.

Tn Policemen marched up- town in varying formations, then made tour of the town until 7:30 when they demonstrated their pre- cision marching on the ball park be- fore large and appreciative throng.

Picayune News

March IA was a high day at st.
James Church. We had visitors
from Pearl River, La, Jones County,
Jasper and many other places. A
joyful battle Of music was enjoyed
by all. The quartet from New Or
leans and Heidelberg were led by
Mr.. Golden Brown. A touching ser
mon was preached by Reverend L.
w. Smith, and Mrs. Bulah Smith was
IN charge of the music. Brother Jim
Uixon, Mrs. Jettie Williams, and Mrs.
Clyde Abrom were leaders of the
program.
AT the II o'clock Easter service,
IA babies were baptized and dedi-
Gated to the Lord. At 7:3O p. m.
program was given by Lille Abram
and Mrs. Bulah Smith. Total a.
mount raised for the day, $4,000.
Reverend Smith met with the
Board of Education March 30. at
7:30 p. m. and discussed the many
ways the board can help lift the
standard of our people in the church
and community. G. P. Picket is the
president. The Board approved an
industrial church club organized by
Reverend Smith March Bird. Twen-
ty-five young people met at the
church at LAS p. m. and launched
an industrial church rally and each
person agreed to earn five dollars
for the church.
Mrs. Lille Abram, G.. P. Pickett
and Dewey. Abram were appointed
to help secure Jobs for the young
people. The captains are Loretta

captain, with the support of his help
er is to raise $4,000 and will report

June Board Deaths

In checking over death certifi-
Gates mailed to the office for the
June Board, we find that there seems
to be quite a few Irregularities on
the part of some of our good presi-
dents. Presidents, it is going to be
absolutely necessary tn a we be
more careful in taking in members.
When a president makes a gross
mistake it not only hurts his local
lodge, but every member in the en-
tire Association is affected.
We are having entirely too many
deaths. When a lodge takes in
member that is too old or whose
health is bad, Section ''7'' under Ar
ticle 'l5" of our Constitution pro-
vides that each member of this par
ticular lodge shall be fined $500 and
suspended not to exceed two years years
1t should be, when applications are
sent to the office for new members
and renewals that we would feel safe
in issuing said policies, etc, without
any fear or doubt, but the office is a
bit skeptical when some of our good
presidents send in applications for
renewals or new members.
When member of any local lodge
sits surpinely by and sees his lodge
violate the laws of the Constitution
he is making himself liable for sus-
pension and a fine.

says Robert Ryan in May Negro Di-
Gest, but l accepted the part be-
cause I want to fight the prejudice
that hits my Negro friends"
Il hate American fascists," RKO
star Ryan continues, and I have Of
ten met them in one way or another.
But my first real encounter was
through a colored college chum who
became my good friend at Dart
mouth"
He had been sheltered at his own

Negro pal explained to him that he

And when you hate a character

idea that direct federal grants to
