Should Be
Raised Now
For Expenses

Most Afro local lodge Heme
Treasurers will not finance the
expense of the delegates to the
Grand Lodge. Therefore, it is very
necessary that Afro lodges NOW
begin to have programs, suppers
or other forms of entertainments to
raise this money in the month of
June. This will be the best month
to get the financial support of the
public. The lack of funds and in
terest has prevented many dele
gates from attending previous
Grand Lodge meetings. 1t is very
necessary to raise the delegates
money RIGHT NOW.
The travelling expense for dele
gates this year will be much great
er than usual as the Grand Lodge
meeting is being held in the ex-
IRENE southern part of the state,
Hattiesburg, Miss, the hub city
of the state, Travel, alone, will be
the only normal item with an add
ed increase over former years.
Annual Grand Lodge tax (50c for
all adult members, except Presi-
dents and Financial Secretaries
who pay $100 each) should be col
lected in the month of July. Do not
wait for the Grand Lodge receipts
for they could arrive late or be
missent to another lodge. 1t is
generally known that all Afro mem
bers MUST pay Grand Lodge tax
and they should do so even if the
receipt is not at hand.
Each lodge is taxed $1.00 for
Juveniles and this MUST be paid
whether the juveniles are organized
OF not. Remember, the Grand
Lodge tax for Juveniles is $500 re-
CARELESS to how small or large the
lodge may be.
Each lodge is taxed S1.O0 for Hos
pital linen. 1t requires lot Of
linen to support a public institution
and your hospital is in that class.
Raise these funds in JUNE and
JULY.

Hospital Day
Payments Extended
To May 18th

Due to weather conditions and
a general misunderstanding of a
statewide letter sent out from the
Supreme Presidents office. the
time for paying Hospital Day quotas
by local Afro lodges has been ex-
tended until May 18th. Since the
time has been extended the names
of the lodges that DID and DID
NOT pay are not listed in this
issue of the Courier as promised.
They will definitely appear in the
NEXT issue and the names OF
lodges and individuals will be COM
piled on Monday, May goth. This
will have given ample time for all
lodges to report.
Clearance for the record will be
made quicker if Hospital Day
quotas or other similar donations
are reported alone. Quotas or do
nations sent with monthly report
is necessarily delayed. That factor
alone has caused some lodges to
get a request letter" when the
payment had already been made.

Gentlemen:
1t was my intention to have pre-
scented you this letter at the last
board meeting TUESDAY night,
February 5th) but did not have
time to prepare it. Most of you are
already aware that ! definitely will
not be candidate for reelection
when my present term expires.
However, it is with regret that
conditions demand that NOW SUBJ
nit to you my resignation as Alder
man and Vice-Mayor of the town
Of Mound Bayou, Mississippi and
beg to be released from said po-
sition at the close of the regular
monthly meeting, Tuesday night,
March S, 1857 1t is my humble re-
quest that you accept my resigna-
ton and elect another Mayor pro-
tenn or Vice Mayor in the above
mentioned meeting. Mayor Green's
physical condition requires hinS to
have an able assistant and you have
many on the board to choose from.

real pleasure. ! am thankful for
the honor of having been elected
on three different occasions to serve

NATIONAL HOSPITAL WEEK
Founder S Birthday Celebration
By All Afro Lodges June 1st

ne next Dig meetlNS OF STATE
wide attraction that is MUST for
Afros will be annual Founders
Birthday Celebration, Saturday,
June !, 1857. This big affair is to
be held at and in the communities
Of each and every local Afro lodge
in the state of Mississippi. Coopera
ton in this movement should be
fully approved and assured when
the fact is presented that the en-
tire proceeds from the many cele-
brations, on reaching the Home Of
flee, will go direct into the hospital
fund and not for the Custodian's
personal benefit.
1t is nice move on the part of
the Custodian to allow his birthday
to be celebrated throughout the
state for the benefit of the hospital,
an institution he founded many
years ago. Yes, Cousin Tom is
a liberal man and wants the peo-
pies Temple of Health, the Afro
American Hospital, to succeed in
both financial and operative man
ner.
4, Each lodge is aSed to hold a
Especial puhiic program or some
form Of public entertainment on
either Friday night, May 31st., Sat
urday night, June LIST, or Sunday,
June End, and lift public offering
for the benefit of the Afro-Ameri-
can Hospital, 'Mississippi's First
and Largest Negro Fraternal Hospi-
tai" No certain amount is re-
quested but ALL lodges should
send SOMETHING. Get the dona-
ton in the mail Monday morning,
June Srd. Use one of the three
dates that fit your community best.
If public program cannot be arrang-
ed then resort to public solicitation.
Statewide celebration of the Gus
todian's birthday for the benefit OF
the hospital has been fully approx
ed by the Grand Lodge and will
be an annual affair from now on.
The celebration MUST be held and
SOME funds sent to the office by
all Afro local lodges. The amount
sent is left entirely to each lodge.
However, it is expected that each
lodge in the state would send at
least $1.O0 for this worthy cause.
Be it remembered that the Hospi-
tai Anniversary and the Custod-
ian's Birthday proceeds are a de-
finite portion of the annual bud
get for operating the Afro-Ameri-
can Hospital. Lodges failing to CO.
operate fully in both are ,rightfully
labeled SABOTAGERS of the Afro
American Hospital. Remember, s.
per year from each adult member
will not keep your hospital doors
open. The extras" will have to
come as promised.
Let us honor Cousin Tom in
this statewide movement by seeing
that every local Afro lodge sounds
a big note for the Founder and the
Afros on one of the suggested dates.
Let that note echo in Yazoo City
by mailing your donation Monday
morning, June 3, 1857.

CELEBRATION TO BE AT
AFRO-AMERI(AN Hospital.
SUNDAY, MAY II, 1857,

the meeting for Sunday afternoon
would give a bigger crowd. There
fore the grand celebration will be
held on the hospital lawn Sunday
evening, May 18th, at 800 p. M
promptly. Although this is national
Mothers Day, the hour is such
that it will not conflict with local
Mothers Day programs. May IL
is the proper day to celebrate for
it is the birthday of the late Flor.
ence Nightingale, the great English
philanthropist who was first to start
the hospital nursing movement.
A fine program is being prepared
with DR.. Cyril A. Walwyn as prin-
cipal speaker. Others on the pro-
gram will be Mr.. Daniel Genous,
Afro Hospital Technician; Hon. r.

Afro-American Hospital; Mr.. ], e.
Edwards, Supreme President OF
the Afro-American Sons & Daugh.
tiers and General Manager of the
Afro-American Hospital and Off
'cials of the Afro-American Hospital
Auxiliary. Space will be provided
for expressions from the audience.
The entire nursing staff of the Afro.
American Hospital and the Office
force of the Afro-American Sons
& Daughters will be on hand and
cooperate fully with the movement.
Last year and the year before,
the celebration was limited to the
local people of Yazoo City since
it was staged on day in the week.
The Sunday afternoon date this
year is being done purposely TO
make it statewide OCCASION. The
steady rainfall on Hospital Day,
Sunday, March 81, prevented hun
dreds of true and tried Afros from
attending that great celebration.
They missed the dedication and
opening of the Afro-American Hos
pital lounge, a modern show place
and FIRST among Negro Frater-
nal Hospitals in Mississippi. Too,
there are hundreds of Afros in ada
cent counties who have not sen

There are two ways to break out of
prison-legal and illegal
George T. Jordan Of Pomonkey, Md
once charged with murder robbery, assault
with intent to rob, grand larceny and auto
theft-took the long, long legal way and this
month, after 10 years of some "do-it-your-
self" legal-eagling, walked forth a free man.
Behind him are at least 67 different
court appearances, a succession of court
appointed attorneys that would have cost a
moneyed man a small fortune.
Indicted for Murder
His perseverance, their perseverance,
chink in the laws armor and the Ameri-
can system Of justice set him free.
Jordan's last trouble with the law began
in June, 1914, less than a month after he
was released on prior robbery charge. His
specially was robbing grocery stores.
On June IL, 1914, he was indicted for
Staying Alexis Koffer 49, grocer, during a
holdup at Koffer's shop at q Third street
NE, on May 20. He got nothing.

There's q Legal Way to Break Jail,
Prisoner Proves After Is Years

Coupled with the murder charge was
one of robbing grocer Alphonse Fernandez
Of SIS at his store at 1929 Fourteenth street
NV, and another of attempting to rob
Mrs. Sophie Chyatte. who ran a grocery
store with her husband at 1891 Stanton road
Sc. Mrs. Chyatte screamed, and Jordan
fled. Again he left empty handed.
Borrowed" Getaway Car
For transportation, he used a stolen
auto
Between October of 1945 and August of
1858 he was declared insane three times,
all the while demanding trial, including
one on the murder count
The Government, at the start, moved
swiftly 1t elected to try Jordan for the
Fernandez robbery. The other cases were
admittedly weak. There we're practically no
witnesses. The Governments case on the
murder charge rested on confession-one
Jordan claimed was beaten out of him.
He was tried and convicted in october,
1914, OF robbing Fernandez. Judge James

Civil Service officials say that
the Hatch Act has nothing to do

from a presidential directive of

the Israelis have said CONVINCING
" they believe peaceful methods

the Middle East and will always

To put 1t mildly, the Israelis
are fed up. They are sick of NV

threats of extinction. They want
action.
1t takes only a few hours in
Israel to begin to understand
why the Israelis feel as they do.
Claustrophobia Is Easy
Just outside the suburbs of Tel

the Jordan border is visible. From
almost every high hill in the
country one can see Arab coun-
tries all around. Israel is closely
hemmcd in and even visitors get
a feeling like claustrophobia.
And from those borders of
which one is always conscious,
come night raiders that pene-
trate everywhere and violent
oaths that Israel will soon be
swept into the sea.
Those same borders have be-
come economic barriers. Prices
are pushed higher and life is
made more Spartan because men
and goods cannot cross.
