complete inspection of the entire

appreciation for the manner in
which the entire plant is being op-

the staff. The administration is

Al Celebration
On Hospital Day

Annual Hospital Day Celebra-
ton, Sunday, March 31st, will be
a day long remembered by the pre-
sent officials of the Afro organi-
cation and the Afro-American Hos
pital. 1t will not be because of the
gay celebration of the occasion or
the payment of annual quotas by
lodges, for this portion of the an
nual affair is nothing new. The
astonishing part of the whole day
was the manner in which the many
representative from every section
of the state poured into Yazoo City
in spite of the constant rainfall and
tornado warning. The spacious Mt.
Vernon Baptist church was filled
with hundreds of Afros who now
realize what they have and are
ready and willing to brave stormy
weather TO answer to the call. A
survey shows that only those dis
tant ones who were eager to wit
ness the dedication of the hospital
lounge at II a. m. were the ones
to be present The packed house
was the result of larger delegations
attending from each lodge or COM
munity The Robert Johnson lodge
of Clarksdale brought a large bus
load as usual. The officials of this
lodge are worthy of all praises that
can be given them.
Over 81 900 was collected and
more is being reported almost
daily, The deadline for reporting
Hospital Day quotas by lodges has
been extended to May 18th to allow
allow all lodges to pay their full
or balance quota. Fair weather
would have meant a record break
er in finance. However, the extern
sion is granted to permit obtaining
the mild goal of $500 or over.
