Response to the editorial sug-
gestion of the Spokesman and Re-
corder newspapers that the re-
vival of councils of Negro organi-
cations was badly needed in both
cities is still predominantly
favorable.
The following citizens had this
to say this week:
Frank Boyd, 443 Mackubin st.,
secretary-treasurer, Twin Cities
Division, Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters. stated People have
many responsibilities, and unless
there is action within the COM
munity, it win be impossible TO
arrive at any amount of success"
Mr.. Boyd thought the idea was a
very good one If the people worked
together to make it successful.
Mrs. C. A. Danforth, 1913 Car
roll Ave, a housewife, thought the
idea an excellent one. Unless
there is a body to work for your
interest, you do not get anywhere
at all"
James Griffin, 5S7 Rondo Ave-,
st. Paul policeman, candidate for
legislature in 1913, exclaimed that
There could be nothing better in
this community than such an or
ganization. However, there should
be representatives from all groups
of Negroes from all sections of the
city, and all problems should be
considered"
John Lawrence, DAT Iglehart
Ave, president, Credjafawn Social
Club and active worker in the
community, thinks the idea Is
good if it does effective work. II
it doesn't overlap the work of the
NAACP and the Urban League, it
should work for the good of the
community. Too, it should be an or
ganizatiOn that uses the energies

Case of the Fingerprint

This is a screwy story. James
Cook, Eureka, wanted to cash a
check at the Silver S bar.
Judge W. H. Sands happened to
be passing by, and he suggested
sHave him put his fingerprints
on the back as recommended by
the Northwestern Montana Peace
Officers association" Cook did
this.
The check bounced, and it
turned out that Cook used an
other Eureka mans name, and
drew on the wrong bank.
Tuesday evening, he was up be-
fore Judge Sands on a forgery
charge. He pleaded not guilty, and
was jailed in default of $500 bond.
Did Cook write the check? He
even put his fingerprints on the
back.
