and hundreds Of families. are in
the process Of finding a new
dwelling place. fer reason that
the city is taking possession Of
al property in the vicinity Of
Broadway to Missouri avenues.
and from 10th street u 10th
We understand that a city pro-
ject and park will be erected
on the land to be renovated.
From one respect. il IS a sad
story from another. il is OBJ
viously happy story. The sad
ness comes about as the result
of old landmarks and memoran-
dums Will cease 10 be. as the
civ goes its way.
From a brighter side. il will
be much easier on the eyes no,
only Of sightseeing. but residents
as well. TO witness the beautifv-
ing of the city OF East s.. Louis
with modern buildings n d
homes.
And so the members of the
Mt. Sinai Baptist Church as well
as some residents. have prac-
tically chosen their homes TO be.
On Monday morning the New
Salem District Association
opened its Both annual session
with the Morning Star Baptist
Church, 1900 Louisiana Blvd.
as host. Rev. Garfield Hubbard
is pastor.
The youth department with
Mrs. Emma White as supervisor
opened at 9 am. al the New
Bethel Baptist Church on 29th
and Illinois.
! would like TO tell you a
secret. This department had
so many young people on
hand that was told on my
way 10 the church that I'd
better take chair If I'd like
TO sit. because there was only
standing room.
This even proved TO have
been wrong; for a while there
was not standing room. All of
which made US feel very happy.
II brought TO our minds how we,
too had once struggled TO help
advance this department by
serving as secretary and any
wav we could help.
When we witness such a pro-
gram, we can see the doors OF
juvenile delinquency gradually
closing. and the walls of negli-
gence slowly crumbling down.
and as the years come and 20.
we can see molders like the
late Rev. J. A. Lampley, the
late Mrs. Annette Officer. and
many others who have spent
restless nights in behalf of New
