Competition Held
Wednesday Mornino

Drill teams OF the various Shr1n.
er temples performed before a
packed gallery in the Minneapolis
Armory Wednesday morning, Aug.
8 in competition for the annual
Shriner competitive drill champion
ship.
Smartly attired in uniforms of
vivid but perfectly matched colors,
the drill units carried out their
formations with a snap and pre-
cision seldom seen in these parts.
They were given tremendous
ovaHons by the very appreciative
and attentive audience.
It was learned later that Medina
No. 10 patrol New York City won
the competitive drill championship.
Judges for the competition were
Marine Corp Sergeants stationed

Notebook

The Shriners did not let the
visible lack Of welcome signs ir
downtown Minneapolis during theil
national convention dampen theil
spirit. They met, carried on the
important business of the organic
alton and had a good time.
The white population generally
looked on with interest mixed
with amazement as the Mobiles
walked through the city streets do
ing the things most conventioneers
do, swapping city scenes, making
purchases in the stores, eating and
drinking in the various Twin City
hotels and restaurants.
Many of this fine group Of fra
ternal people including the Shrin-
ers womens adjunt the Daughters
of Isis noticed the lack of conven-
ton welcome signs in the loop
area. Not even the hotels which
were making a handsome profit
out of the convention had the
courtesy to display welcome signs,
Blame for this condition may
rest on the shoulders Of the COM
mittee whose duty it was to sell
hotels and merchants appropriate
welcoming devices. However each
one of the hotels which accomo-
dated should have exhibited enough
public relations sense to have
signs prepared to adorn the mar
ques or fronts of their respective
hosteleries.
This goes for the department
and other retailers on Nicollet Av
Lemandts mems clothiers on
upper Nicollet displayed a vel
come fezz.
The general public was hospit-
able but the retail stores and the
hotels were remiss in not provid-
ing for a proper welcome to the
meetings.
P.S. AS late as Tuesday the
Brown Clothing Co., pioneer men
and boys Clothiers on Nicollet were
trying to get welcome signs for
their windows.

phoned the Riverview Resort near
Baudette, Minnesota seeking ac-
commodations for a party Of six
for three days beginning June
18th.
"After having received the af-
firmation," said Monson, 'fn order
to avoid eventual complications
upon our arrival at the resort, I
informed the representative that
our party consisted Of both white
and colored persons" Monson con-
tinued, IF that was the case, he
informed me, there would be no
places available for our party
since they did not accommodate col
ored persons by policy"
Monson said, the man also
told him that, all the other re-
sorts in the area would be full
too, under those circumstances.
Thaddeus Nicholas, U. of NJ.

Negroes in the group, takes up

happened, I called WCCO to ask
Rollie johnson (WCCO television

he knew a place up north where
we could go fishing together. Rol-
lie wasn't there, so Pete Hively

Hotel Monday evening.
The Imperial Potentate said
Shriners ought to be leaders in
their communities in registering
and voting drives, the encourage
ment of "our people in business
and the reduction of crime"
Extolling the Shriners for their
work in many areas Mr.. Alexander
warned however that far "too
many Temples have practically
forgotten real charity" Here he
warned because of the changes in
our communities complexion,
Shriners must recall the detectives
as set out in the early principles
"as a charitable and social fra
ternal order"
Here Mr.. Alexander urged the
Shriners to assume greater oblig-
ations for charitable work and
provide assistance in charity
drives. In the same vein the men,
bers, Of the organization were
called upon to do something about
migration problems Of Negroes
into metropolitan centers of the
North, West and East.
Pointing to the influx of Ne
groes to large centers Mr.. Alex
ander told delegates it was i'm
portant to begin now a program Of
assistance. He suggested q two
pronged program to immigrants,
The first was a program Of help
full assistance in adjustment to
new environments and the second
was a what was termed a get
acquainted program. The SECOND
program was outlined as q means
of providing the new area citizem
a source of finding new friends.
Need Positive Education Program
In the area of education Mr.
Alexander urged members of the
organization to become positive ir
their actions toward educational
problems and the breaking down
of barriers. He emphasized men,
bership in Parent-teachers assoc
iations and a continuing interest
in curriculums.
He said that Shriners must con-
centrate on preparing youths for
college and new opportunities re-
quiring new sltills. I'VE are not
doing enough to prevent drop-outs
and neither are we deeply con-
cerned about education in new
area, the Imperial Potentate said.
