manic, and inspirational subject,
Rev. ]. R. Holloway, pastor, of
Zion Baptist Church spoke from,
Communion Sunday, Feb. 4. Scrip
ture: II Cor. 12:1-10. The Choirs

the soul-stirring hymn Amazing
Grace" attuning our hearts for the
morning message.
What is Grace? Paul could only
say Gods grace is sufficient"
The pastor comfortable stated,
Grace is given to us, out of the
abundance of Gods love. 1t causes
us to be lifted spiritually, and joy
full. 1t cannot be explained. In
spite of our difficulties, Grace will
make us sing, and gives an assur-
ance that the Lord is with us in
any conflicts encountered in life"
Our minister inquired, Where
do we stand? Are we content to
bask in Gods grace when things
are going well? Or, are we able to
Withstand trials, and tribulations
knowing Gods grace is sufficient"
In concluding: The pastor replied,
Indeed, it was Gods grace that
brought us this far-and His grace
will lead us on. Christians must
continue to trust in Him who is
watching over them"

Subject: And Ye Shall Draw
With Joy, Water Out OF the Well
OF Salvation. Text, ISIAH IL, 5:
Therefore with joy shall we draw
water out of the wells of salvation.
Rev L. c. Harris said: The
blessing of Gospel may be COM
pared to water because of its re-
freshing and fertilizing properties.
AS water refresheS the parched
earth, so the mind of man receives
peace and comfort, and is made
fruitful by an experimental &C
|quaintance with the blessings of
redeeming Grace.
1T is by the Grace of God, the
barren desert of the soul is made
to bud. Water is made use of to
cleanse and purify, so the bless
ings of salvation not only makes
us happy, but better. They remove
the foul stains Of natures defile-
ment, purify the conscience, and
make the children of God a pecul-
lar people, jealous of good works.
The Scriptures are wells of saliva
ton, and the only instrument we
have when we come to the well Of
salvation is believing prayer.
1--WE must employ this instru-
ment and ask in faith, this water
will be necessary through our
christian journey. We draw the
water out of the wells with joy.
This was the soul stirring mes
sage brought to us by our Pastor
Rev. L. c. Harris, Sunday morn
ing, the II am service. A good
old fashion Testimonial and. de-
votional service was enjoyed by
all, conducted by Ernest Martin
and Vernon Jenkins. Scripture
reading, Matt. 5, 1, s. Song: Jesus
Keep Me Near The Cross"
Prayer meeting will be in the
home of Mrs. Maud Western, 315
Mackubin, ST. Paul Wednesday
evening, 7:30 pm.
We had a visitor to worship
with us Mrs. Sue Haywood, 500
Carroll, ST. Paul.
All visitors are welcome.
The mission met in the home Of
our pastor, Rev. L. C. Harris, with
our president GENEVA Hayes pre-
siding. Mrs. Hayes will be our
guest speaker for the third Sunday
of this month, Womens Day. Vir-
GINA Cockrell will be mistress Of
ceremonies.

Weaver Explains
Urban Affairs
Department Need

I'VE" 1OTk. - "A lie" CdDlIeI-
level department of urban affairs
and housing is as necessary as the
establishment of the Department
of Agriculture was 70 years ago,
says the man who may head the
new agency if and when it is set
up.
In the late 1905 when the Agri-
culture Department was created 80
per cent of the United States pop
ulation lived in rural areas, and
only 20 per cent was urban.
Today, 100000 Of the 1884,
100000 Americans live in urban
areas. Robert c. Weaver, Admin
istrator of the Housing and Home
Finance Agency, said in a lecture
at the urban studies center at Rut-
gers University.
Vigorous Controversy
Mushrooming needs have result
ed in greatly expanded federal
activities in the urban and housing
fields. These activities must be CO.
ordinated and must receive their
proper recognition, he said.
President Kennedy's proposals to
set up the new urban agency is
the subject of a vigorous controv-
ersy in Congress. His recent an
nouncement that he planned to put
Mr.. Weaver, a Negro, and a lead
ing national figure in the field of
housing, in charge, has become a
strongly partisan issue.
In his Rutgers lecture, Mr.. Weav-
err pointed out that the total addi-
tional cost required for the pro-
posed new agency would be $51, 400.
This represents the pay of the
seven senior officials in the new
department minus the salaries now
being paid for officials in his Hous-
ing and Home Finance Agency,
which would be abolished.
No New Function
Mr.. Weaver said the IEIFA was
an administrative monstrosity'
whose responsibilities had out
grown its capacities.
I'VE should not continue indef-
initely creating new programs, ex-
panding old ones, and turning ev-
erything over to the same crealxing
bureaucracy" he said. Sooner or
later a point is reached when the
administrative structure must be
changed, or 1t can no longer do
what Is demanded Of it."
The HHFA, Mr.. Weaver said, is
now far past the point By
every test Of efficiency, of intel
lgent management, and of good
government there must be a con-
solidation and reorganization !
and this is one purpose OF the re-
organization plan proposed by the
President"
The new agency plan does not,
and could not, create any new
governmental function" he added.
Among other things, 1t would
be engaged in:

plans for community development
and redevelopment and the plan

History OF Group:
OES Youth Court
TO Hold First
Annual PFoorom

On Feb. 7, 1857 a group of little
girls met at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Lawrence to learn to do
needle art.
At the second meeting the name
was chosen THE Starlighters Club
No. 1. The membership grew so
rapidly that they were given per-
mission to meet at Perfect Ashlar
Lodge Hall located at 744 st. An
thony Av.
In September of the same year
a recommendation was presented
to the Grand Chapter by the
Worthy Grand Matron Helen
Lawrence to accept this club under
the protection of Prince Hall Grand
Chapter Order Of the Eastern Star
which was adopted.
The interest and progress of this
organization grew so rapidly that
on April %, 1858 club was organ
lied in Minneapolis known as THE
Starlighters Club No. g." The two
clubs were presented to the grand
chapter in September, 1858 at the
Masonic Eastern Star Temple in
Minneapolis in a candlelight cere-
mony. The sum of $500 was pre-
scented by the Starlighters to the
grand chapter scholarship fund.
In 1859 500 was pledged by the
same group to the Most Worship
full Prince Hall Grand Lodge and
$25 was paid on the pledge.
Court Organized
A youth court was organized
from these two clubs when the
girls reached IL years of age.
Under the leadership Of Mrs.
Fern Helm Worthy Grand Matron
and Clarence Smith w. G. Patron
in September, 1860. The court was
presented to the grand chapter and
granted a dispensation to work one
year.
In September, 1861 they were
given a charter by the Worthy
Grand Matron Mrs. Blanche Mayes
and Worthy Grand Patron Mr..
Otis Hampton to work under the
Minnesota jurisdiction.
A contest was held to name the
| court. The name chosen THE
Eastern Stars of Tomorrow Court
No. l." was submitted by Miss
Clydean Parker.
On Saturday, Feb. 10, beginning
at pm. they will hold their first
annual youth day program at the
Masonic Hall, $50 University Av.,
st. Paul.
The entire Masonic family is
invited to attend the Ritualisdc
opening of the court.
Public Invited At 4 PM.
At 4 pm. the Starlighters of
both cities will present a program
and the public is invited.

invited to the installation of the
| officers of the youth court and the
browning of the new king and
queen. A short musical program
will be presented. Mrs. Clarinda
Cox and Mrs. Mary Lee Parks will
be in charge. No admission.
Mrs. Lawrence stated this week
that she would like to thank the
parents of these young people for
their cooperation and support.
Thomas Hardy is king Of the
Court and Sandra Collins is queen.

Congressman Dawson
In Key Role On
New Cohinef Post

liamentary skill and political know
how of a veteran Negro legislator
who could have been in Kennedy's
cabinet, is expected to play an i'm
portant part in the fate of the
Presidents urban affairs proposal
that will put the first Negro in the
cabinet.
The legislator is Chicago's bat
ue-scarred William L. Dawson,
chairman Of the House government
operations committee. He has al
ready announced that his commit
tee will hold hearings on the prop
osal beginning this week.
The hearings are an important
step in whatever action the House
takes on the proposition. Under the
reorganization act used by Ken
nedy to set up the department,
either house of Congress can veto
the action.
Meanwhile several resolutions to
kill the proposal have already been
introduced in the House.
Republican and Dixiecrat men,
bers in both houses have been loud
in their denunciations of the de-
Ipartment and their predictions that
the Presidents action will not be
confirmed.
The resolutions, like the Presi-
dents proposal, have been referred
to Dawson's committee.
An interesting sidelight in the
House is that Dawson who is ex-
pected to be one of the key fig
ures involved in the fate of the
proposal himself turned down an
opportunity to become the first
Negro member of a presidential
cabinet.
He turned down the postmaster
generalship, a cabinet post, offered
him by Kennedy shortly after his
election to the presidency. He is
now placed in the position of being
able to help put another Negro in
the spot he turned down.
The President said the new de-
partment was urgently needed to
permit me to discharge most effec.
lively the responsibilities in this
area placed upon the President by
the Constitution and by the stat.
utes respecting these matters"
Whatever happens to the reor,
ganization, administration forces
figured to come out ahead political,
ly. Approval of the plan would
make good on a Kennedy cam.
paign promise. If it is defeated
Presidential aids hope to pin the
blame on the Republicans.
The Republicans, sensitive tc
this possibility, have accused Ken,
nedy of injecting the racial issue
into the situation by saying he
would appoint Weaver to head the
agency. Weaver now is fedora
housing administrator.
The fate of the proposal in the
Senate is uncertain.
In the first place, the chairman
of the Senate government opera,
tons committee Is Sen. John Nc,
Clellan of Arkansas, a known Dix.
iecrat who might not find it polit.
ically expedient to approve an &C.
ton that Is tantamount to placing
a Negro in the Presidents cabinet
He has already found fault with
the plan.

ing federal funds for research a
in most cases, cut Negro students
off without a penny.
An Ad Hoe Committee
He feels it is time Congress
built a fire under the federal gov
eminent on this issue, as well as
under states which practice no
school indignation or only token
indignation.
Before a battery of television
cameras, he announced at a special
press conference Feb. 2 that he
had appointed an ad hoe commit
tee to make a nationwide survey
of school desegregation and also
Ito look into discrimination within
the federal government itself"
Not that he feels the Kennedy
Administrations record on civil
rights is poor On the contrary, he
admits it has shown greater pro-
gress in one year than any previ-
GUS administration - but obvious
ly not enough to satisfy the ebul-
lent legislator.
He sees this ad hoe investigating
committee las long overdue and
Congress derelict in its duty as a
legislative body in supporting the
law of the land under the Con-
stitution."
Two members of his regular Edu-
cation Committee already have in
troduced three bills to start the
ball rolling.
Three Bills Ready
One Is a bill to amend the law
under which land grant colleges,
under the Department Of Agricul-
ture, are still operating on a sep
arate but equal basis" with sep
arate colleges for Negroes and
whites.
Another would give segregated
schools a desegregatin ultimatum,
calling for "first-step compliance"
by 1868.
The third - not introduced by
Mr.. Powell himself - but reni-
niscent Of Powell bills" Of the
past would amend the law govern
ing the ALLEGATION of federal funds
to impacted areas so that such
payments would be denied to
schools practicing segregation.
Mr.. Powell, whose committee
now Is conducting a broad inves-
tigation into the expenditure of
federal funds for education by
some 40 separate government
agencies, Is interested in finding
out, further, in what cases these
funds are denied to Negro students
or allocated only to all-white col
leges.
A preliminary investigation has
disclosed, he said, that the Atomic
Energy Commission confines all its
ALLEGATIONS to white schools; that
the National Institute Of Health
has given only $797 to one desegre-
gated institution, compared to the
more than $4,000 900 expended I'M
der its total program.
He also protested that under the
special programs for counselling
and guidance under the National
Defense Education Act, mot one
single Negro is receiving a penny"
In justification Of his move to
prod the federal government on
this score, Mr.. Powell cited the
recommendation of the Presidents
Commission on Civil Rights that
the federal government by execu-
tive action Of Congress, If neces-
sary, make certain there Is no
discrimination in the distribution
of government funds for these pur-
poses.
Report Deadline
The new ad hoe committee will
hold hearings and conduct a three
month investigation, after which 1t
will make its report and recon-
mendations to the regular commit
tee on or before May 7.

was directed largely at the South,
