Xmas is fast approaching around

many persons among us who face
the dismal prospects of a bleak

BOSTON, Mass. CAMP An
explosive ballot scandal was aired
in Ward 8, the predominantly Ne
gro district, last week. The Bos-
ton Election commission has re-
vealed that the recounts in Pre-
cincts 5 and 9 of Ward 9 had
turned up 20 ballots which ap-
parently had been marked a
second time by the same person,
thus invalidating these ballots,
which already had been marked
by voters for Attorney Laurence
H. Banks, Negro candidate for
City council, after closing time
on Nov. 8.

It would be a most noble and
self-satisfying gesture if Negro
organizations and individuals
would contribute something of
this sort to the homeless children
who you may be assured would be
infinitely more happy over the
Christmas season. The children
are particularly interested in toys,
parties and wholesome entertain
ment. Just as small gestures would
mean so much to their young
lives.
The Daily EXPRESS is making
this special plea tothe goodwill in
the hearts of citizens of this COM
munity.: Toys or clothing or any
thing you may feel would bring
joy and happiness to some young
boy or girl can be left at the Elk
sPRESS office at 1907 German
town Street where they will be de-
livered to Shawen Acres. Or they
can be given directly by calling
Mr.. Lucius Jones at Randolph IL
Al, Cottage No. 6. Those who can
give parties should contact Mr..
Jones atthe above telephone.
Remember what we said above:
just a small gesture would bring
SO much Christmas joy and cheer
to these youngsters.

Mrs. Yates had gone to the

After examination, she was sent
