District To Meet
Florida NAACP branches in the

Florida NAACP branches in the
4th District will hold their second
quarterly meeting at Bethel AAdE
L.. church in Pompano on Sunday,
April 16 at 800 pm. The Pompano
Branch, with the assistance of
other branches in the District, will

gram. Representatives from youth
councils in the District also are ex-
pected to make contributions to the
program. The principal speaker will
be Rev. w. j. Black of Lake Wales,
president of the Florida NAACP
State Conference. Rev. Black is a
veteran NAACP worker and an elo-
quent speaker And inasmuch as
this will be his first appearance in
this section, it is expected that a
large audience will be present to
hear him.

NAACP membership, and it is hoped
that the inspiration gained from this
meeting will help to stimulate the
membership effort in the entire 4th
District. The roll Of branches will
be called, and each branch is asked
to make a report on it's annual quota
for support of the State Conference.
The District NAACP Banner, which
is now held by Perrine, will go to
the branch that makes the best re-
port on it's state quota. The 4th Dis
trict also is anxious to win the
trophy that will be awarded at the
next state meeting to the district
that has reported the highest amount
to the State Conference on a per
capita basic this year.

Rev. j. r. Thompson, Pompano,
chairman: Clayton Taylor, Ft. Lau-
derdale, vice chairman; Mrs. Rosa l..
Brady, Miami, secretary; Miss Inez

at United Service of Thanks

Memorial Church Wednesday

My Friends

IVY V11GIlQS.-
It is proper and fitting that
we should meet here tonight
in a United Service of Thanks
giving and Intercession to rem
der praise to the Great Archi-
tect of the Universe for having
spared our Islands from the
ravages of a dangerous hurri-
cane on the first of this month
and to intercede for His con-
tinued manifold blessings in
our undertakings. Here, in this
holy place of worship, we bow
our heads with dutiful sub
mission to all that God may
decree. We place all our
hopes, and all our trust in
Him, feeling assured that He,
and He alone, can place us far
beyond the reach of dangers
or Universities.
Those of us, in the govern
ment, upon whose shoulders
fall the responsibility for the
physical protection of life and
property in event of a hurri-
cane, know the mental an
guish which we suffered here
in the Islands on the night of
Thursday, August 81, and the
day of Friday, September 1st.
I think I should tell you that
hurricane warnings and storm
warnings are not lightly Civ
en-. After a hurricane advisory
has been issued by the Wealth
er Bureau in Puerto Rico, the
local Harbormaster and I meet
constantly to chart and to dis
cuss the course Of the storm
and its probable effects on the
immediate and adjacent area.

great deal of damage was suf-
fered by shipping in the har4
Dor of st. Johns, Antigua. All
boats were either sunk or
washed high and dry. One YES
sci was deposited on top of a
small waterfront house. The
larger sized buildings, by and
large, did not suffer great
material damage, but large
numbers Of the numerous
smaller houses, where the
masses of the people live,
were seriously damaged, some
being completely destroyed.
The water system was damag-
ed, telephones were disrupted,
and electric Light has not yet

power plant was flooded by

districts, the damage was
widespread & general. Queer.

On the night of Thursday,

At seven o'clock in the morn

H~arbormaster and other Off

further to postpone the final

tail grave responsibility for
the life and property of our
citizens. We can praise Al
mighty God that the situation
changed during the day SC

strike our beautiful islands

that that hurricane, which had
winds of $50 miles close to the
! center, with gales extending
so to so miles south and west
of the center, passed only
about 80 miles north of Saint
Thomas, so that we escaped
! the south fin of the hurricane
by barely 20 or 80 miles. This
is startling, but it is a fact. A
slight shifting Of the course of
the storm saved us. But anoth-
er slight shift would have
wreaked havoc among our
beautiful islands and put us
back several years.

narrowly escaped, let me give

port brought back to me by a

ment who visited Antigua for
me just a few days ago. A
