Official Organ of the Saint Paul Branch of the N.A.A.C.P. MRS. R. CHANDLER DIES; MEMBER OF BAPTIST CHURCH Well Known St. Paul Citizen for Twenty Years Passes to the Great Beyond. Mrs. Rosie Chandler, devoted wife of W. F. T. Chandler, 703 St. Anthony Ave., answered the summons of the Angel of Death Saturday, Jan. 17, at Ancker Hospital, after an illness of three months. The funeral, which took place Tuesday afternoon from Lyles' Mortuary Chapel, was one of the largest ever held in St. Paul. The floral tributes were numerous and very beautiful. Rev. C. B. Burton, pastor of Memorial Baptist Church, officiated, with text and subjects as follows: Heb. 4-9 Christian rest obtained, by faith. 1st The final state of the righteous is described as of life eternal. 2nd Death to a Christian is the time when aspiration becomes a reality. 3rd The security of this life is proof that there is only one permanent investment, and that is Heaven. A man at death is worth only what he has sent on before him. 4th Milton said "Some day I shall truly come where true hearts wait for me. Lips for want of words are dumb in that high company." 5th The blessed, happy state once entered upon will be unchanging in kind and endless in duration. Born In Missouri Mrs. Rosie Chandler was born in Lexington, Mo., Dec. 23, 1871, where she lived with her parents until she was 14 years old at which time her parents moved to Topeka, Kansas, taking her with them. She lived at Topeka until she was about 25 years of age, at which time she moved to Kansas City, Mo., where she lived until the death of her mother. From Kansas City, she moved to Chicago, Ill., where she was married to Mr. W. F. T. Chandler in June, 1896, with whom she lived and proved herself a devoted wife and helpful companion until she was claimed by death. Converted at Age of Twelve. At the age of 12 years she was converted and baptized into the Baptist Church of Lexington, Mo., by the Rev. Gilbert, when she was carried to Topeka, Kansas by her parents, she there united herself with the Shilo Baptist Church; and at Kansas City she united with the Allan Chapel A. M. E. Church of which Bishop Parks was at that time the pastor. In company with her husband, moving from Chicago to Duluth, Minn, and then to St. Paul in January, 1901, where she united with the St. James A. M. E. Church; and after some time she with her husband united with the Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church of this City. Sister Chandler lived a devoted Christian life and always manifested implicit confidence in God. Her faith in Christ as the Anchor of her soul, held her soul steady and safe amidst life's sweeping tempest, until at 3:30 p. m. Saturday, January 17th, 1925, the Master commanded the tempest to cease, and the soul to take its flight into the paradistical regions beyond, where no chilly winds nor poisonous breath, shall ever reach that shore; where sickness, sorrow, pains nor death, are felt and feared no more. She leaves to mourn her loss; a devoted husband, Rev. W. F. T. Chandler of this city, and one niece, Mrs. Estella Wardell of Chicago. Favorite hymns of the deceased were sung by the choir of Memorial Church. Interment in Oakland Cemetery. BOARD OF MANAGEMENT ELECTED AT BANQUET At the first annual membership banquet held at the W.

CHURCH PROGRESSES THE STREET CAFE Auditorium of Camphor Church Rev. E. E. King. Church Named After Late Bishop Camphor is Making Marked Progress. Camphor Methodist Episcopal Church, now located at 13th and Broadway, was organized December 18, 1919, by Dr. G. C. Bryant, then District Superintendent of the Chicago District, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. McFarland, 493 Whitall St. It is named in honor of the late Bishop Alexander P. Camphor, Missionary Bishop to Africa. This church has had a remarkable career during its five years of existence. Thru the kind efforts of Dr. F. C.

Church at Burr and Minnehaha St. These services consisted of preaching and Sunday school work. Dr. J. H. Greer is Pastor. In April of the following year Dr. J. H. Greer was sent from the Little Rock Conference. He was a hard working Christian man, who with his faithful, zealous wife, and by the way one of the most noble Christian characters, labored with the church one year. Church services were held for one season at Union Hall, where during Dr. Greer's pastorate negotiations were made for the purchase of the present edifice from the Danish Norwegian M. E. church. Brother A. D. McFarland was the principal factor in securing this property. Mrs. Greer is the mother of the Sunday school. In company with Miss Antoinette McFarland she visited from house to house in the immediate neighborhood, securing children for the Sunday school. Today the average attendance is about fifty and continues to grow. The good work of Mrs. Greed will ever be remembered. Their next charge took Dr. and Mrs. Greer to Louisville, Ky., where the climate less rigid proved more beneficial to their health. Dr. H. W. Simmons Next. In the year 1921 Dr. H. W. Simmons came from Louisville, Ky. He remained here two years. He was a man of broad vision, keen ability and much experience, which was quite beneficial to the progress of the church.

Governor Christianson in a proclamation set aside Sunday, January, 25th, as a day for the observance of law and order by the people of Minnesota, in their places of worship, where the ministry may unite the obedience of temporal law with obedience to divine law from the pulpit. The Governor urges the press to call attention to the importance of the proclamation. Also for the citizens to speak on the topic at their public gatherings and in the home. This is a timely subject for meditation and discussion. Governor Christianson has set a fine example by calling attention to the enforcement of law in the commonwealth of Minnesota. His stand is all the more praiseworthy as it is taken at a time when life and property are comparatively safe and not endangered by threatened outbreak of violence. Is An Unusual Type. We regret that the press of the state has not given this matter more publicity. A full copy of the proclamation should have had first page notice in every paper, large and small, in the state. The action of the Governor in proclaiming for law and order in a state document, setting aside the Holy day for observance within less than a month after taking the oath of office to uphold the law and the constitutions of both the state and the nation, is unprecedented in the annals of the history of the country. Theodore Christianson is an unusual type of an American citizen. With the courage of his convictions to back up his high sense of justice and right under the law, no citizen need fear that he will not get a fair deal in our courts. A Correction A Correction --- The Bulletin-Appeal in its issue of the 10th, inst., published several inaccuracies in connection with the damage suit of Mrs. Beulah Yourey against Jos. J. Jwanouskos, and we feel that in justice to all concerned a correction should be made. Our reporter interviewed both the plaintiff and plaintiff's lawyer, personally, but failed to read the complaint in the action. Relying upon statements made by the plaintiff we stated that plaintiff left the premises, where the alleged assault took place, thru the basement door. That defendant asked whether she had a husband or not, and when told that she was a widow, exclaimed: "that was good." That she called on Dr. Turner and was advised to see a lawyer. These statements were not sworn to in the complaint, and therefore would not be allowed in a court of record. After reading the complaint we find that plaintiff after the alleged assault sat and talked with the defendant in his office for sometime and left thru the front door. That when defendant called at the home of the plaintiff he called her by phone and told her he would call. Plaintiff knew that he was coming, and would be alone, but made no effort to avoid him. That defendant did not ask if she had a husband, as stated. The article implied that plaintiff consulted Dr. Turner for treatment for injuries received from defendant, whereas, plaintiff did not call at Dr. Turner's office until a month after the alleged assault, and was treated then for a trivial complaint. We are also informed that the defendant is a well educated man, with university degrees in the country he came from, and has borne a good reputation herefore. That as a building contractor he has been placed in the company of women, very often alone, and they were not insulted or attacked. We have investigated the records of the case and want to free the jury from the suspicion of any prejudice, whatsoever, against the plaintiff, a colored woman, in favor of the defendant, a white man. The jury, in this case, weighed the evidence and decided in accordance with the facts, in favor of the defendant. The Bulletin-Apal is desirous of dealing fairly with the public, as well as the individual, and makes this statement of its own volition. I Mrs. Fenton W.

Brown, 1460 Sherburne Ave., entertained the Twin City Carnation Club Saturday evening at a five course dinner. Covers were laid for twelve. Following the dinner the guests indulged in card playing and dancing. The day was also the birthday of Mrs. Brown's sister, Mrs. Luclus Willis, who was quite surprised when about twenty couples arrived later in the evening to participate in the birthday celebration. Pink and white color of the Carnation Club, were carried out in all the rooms in crepe decorations, and pink and white carnations in tall vases adorned each room. Light refreshments were served at midnight, and dancing was indulged in until the wee sma' hours, with Mr. Clarence Johnson of Minneapolis at the piano. The North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company of Durham, N. C., the largest race insurance company in the world, had a banner year in 1923. They did over $2,000,000 worth of business.

RAPELJE, VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE N. P., DIES Beloved Official of Railroad Succumbs to Operation for Appendicitis J. M. Rapelje, vice-president of the Northern Pacific, in charge of operation and maintenance, died at the Northern Pacific hospital at 11:15 a.m. Tuesday. Death resulted when complications set in following an operation for appendicitis eight days before. Members of his family were at his bedside when he lapsed into unconsciousness. They were called from California when his condition assumed a serious stage last week. 68 Years Old. Mr. Rapelje was 68 years old. His death came as a shock to his intimate friends and to the 25,000 Northern Pacific employees as well as to contemporaries in railroad circles. After having served 37 years with the company he became the best known, most loved and admired official in active duty. To those who knew him, from section hand to directors and high officials, he was known as John. Thousands are mourning the loss of their best friend, for to none had he ever refused assistance and none had he ever failed to greet with a merry word of cheer. Mr. Rapelje earned the reputation of being the most efficient operating official in railroad circles. In the death of Mr. Rapelje the race has lost a friend. The race employs, if they had a grievance could always approach him and were given respectful hearing and a just decision. At times, when travel and traffic were light and it became necessary to lay men off indefinitely, the men that could least afford to be out of employment sought Mr. Rapelje and found the soft spot in his heart. They were invariably reinstated and put to work at something. This was not only true in dealing with our group, but was true of all employees, from the highest to the lowest. He never turned a deaf ear to a worthy man, woman or child. His purse was open to every cause or form of charity. He had been with the road almost from its beginning, having thru his own efforts, climbed from obscurity to the position of Vice-President. Mr. Rapelje will be missed from the many activities that have kept him busy—to the ruination of his health—for so many years. The race will regret his demise and feel his loss keenly. Miss Bella Taylor Goes to New York To StudySociology Miss Bella Taylor, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. R. C. Taylor, 925 E. Magnolia St., who has been associated with the Y. W. C. A. ip Chicago for about a year, left for New York City to pursue her studies in Sociology. A graduate of the University of Minnesota, and also a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, Miss Taylor capably filled her position and won a host of friends by her pleasing personality, who regretted her removal to New York City. However, she has their good wishes for continued success in her chosen profession. En route to New York Miss Taylor stopped over in Washington, D.C., and visited the Right Reverend Thomas F. Brown and wife. Rev. Brown is the rector of St. Luke's Episcopal Church. Mrs. Brown is a cousin of Mrs. Taylor. TWO MEN AND ONE WOMAN HOLD CAPITOL POSITIONS Messra.

A RED LETTER DAY. In his first official proclamation, Gov. Christianson urges that the people set aside one day—Sunday, January 25th, for the ob- servance of law and order. “The welfare of the people as a whole demands that the laws enacted for the people be observed by all of the people. If we disregard some laws when it suits our pleas- ure or convenience, we encourage disrespect for all law on the part of others,” reads a part of the Governor’s proclamation. This coming from an Executive, without stress, shows a high regard for obedience to law. Gov. Christianson is setting an ex- ample that other governors could inaugurate to good advantage. Mobocracy is still the ruling spirit of many states to the discredit of our country. The burning of human beings at the stake, hor- rible and atrocious as it is, no longer shocks the sensibility of the average American citizen, and is practiced in no other country —+laiming civilization—in the world, but in these United States. We boast of Christianity; we try to teach it to the heathen, the Mohammedan, and the infidel, when we should be making the most strenuous effort to teach the virtues of the Nazarene to our owr people within the confines of our own borders. In the eyes of the world we render ourselves worse than ridiculous. Blinded with our eagerness to obtain wealth, illiteracy, and egoism, other nations, more skilled in statescraft, flatter our conceit, and we think we are the most wonderfill people on the face of the earth. The truth is, we are just a nation of crafty half educated, half civilized peo- ple. In conformity with Gov. Christianson’s proclamation we beg our group to give observance to this auspicious day—Sunday, January 25, 1925. WHERE DO YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY? Very recently our advertising solicitor while making calls at various business houses discovered that the attitude toward the Colored buyer is very friendly and that in most cases those who re- ceive even the smallest percentage of Colored business stand ready to invite more of our business at almost every opportunity. We naturally appreciate this attitude and apparent effort to secure our business. This is often true even where the Colored man is only a casual buyer. On the other hand, we know of business houses situated where the bulk of their trade is Colored, who, when approached in regard to advertising in a Colored newspaper, are so unfair as to point- blank refuse to consider the proposition, As a matter of fact, every business house in the community which the newspapers serve, reaps some benefit directly or indi- rectly from it and for no less reason is supposed to contribute something to its support. The white man who gets rich off of Colored patronage and in return is not willing to spend a few dollars to invite and keep his patronage by advertising through the columns of the Colored newspaper is certainly not entitled to Colored support—your trade. Firms who advertise in this paper or any other Colored paper besides inviting your business are helping support a race institu- tion and should receive your patronage. They deserve it. Glance over the columns of this paper and see who advertises for your business and see where to spend your money. Each of our advertisers will give you a dollar’s worth for a dollar spent. It is your duty to patronize those firms who patronize your firms. It’s fair to them, to you and to us. Begin it today. NEWSPAPER ETHICS profession.

The larger } lend assistance to the sma Journalism is a profession. It is taught in modern schools, and has a place in the curriculum of universities. Like other pro- fessions, it is governed by a code of ethics. The trained newspaper man or woman will not violate this code knowingly. If in some way an apparent failure to recognize it is present, they are the first to make public an apology for the indiscretion. There is no profession where greater co-operation exists than among publishers of newspapers. The larger publication is always ready and willing to lend assistance to the smaller publication. The loan of cuts, printing material, etc., is an outstanding feature of newspaper amenity. But the code of ethics require that with the use of much that is so loaned, credit should be given the lender, simultaneously, with the use of such matter when published. A breach of this rule is regarded as discourteous and usually severs friendly relations. The profession is an honorable one and carries great responsibility. The molder of public opinion must have a sound philosophy of life, a sacred regard for the truth, honesty, integrity, and morality. Not only must he be imbued with a high regard for these virtues, but he must exemplify them in his daily mode of living. To live up to this code a man honors the profession by honoring himself. No other profession, outside of the ministry ‘of the gospel, has a higher code; or exacts so much.— Announcement RAILROAD, HOTEL AND CLUB MEN The Bulletin-Appeal, to make itself more effective as a newspaper. will maintain special columns containing news of interest to railroad, hotel and club men, under separate heading.

A CARD OF THANKS The Bulletin-Appeal in appreciation of the efforts of Rev. W. H. M. Griffin, pastor of St. James’ church, last Sunday, in behalf of this paper, desires to extend its heartfelt thanks. His splendid spirit of co-operation, and the message he delivered to the large audience, urging that they should not only read a paper worthy of their support, but should subscribe for it, should awaken other leaders to emulation. That Rev. Griffin is not merely a man of words, but of deeds, is the fact that he immediately sent us his check for subscription. Through this effort we have received sev- eral subscriptions from others this week, for which we are grateful. In perusing a sample copy of the Fairmont Daily Sentinel of Fairmont, Minn., we notice that one race man is connected with it in the person of Harry J. Earle, who very creditably edits the sport column. Gleanings from Our Exchanges AS TO PUBLICITY . The Race man or woman who expects our press to smother timely news or facts as they relate to their own particular affairs have not the least idea of the functions of the press. They must learn that to assert a fact, is not approve or disapprove it. We cannot abolish a disagreeable truth by closing our eyes to it. That would be moral cowardice. Along with the privilege of the press to publish the news, goes also its duty to do so. By only one way will we ever suppress crime, intolerance, prejudice, ete., and that’ will be by pitiless publicity. The Race editor who fails to see the sign of the times and refuses, through cowardice to march to its martial tread, is negligent in the very things so much in demand in these crucial times.—Omaha New Era, ~ — . . . . Americanization Series With this issue, the Bulletin-Appeal will begin the publication of biographies and auto-biographies of men and women of the race who have contributed something worthwhile to the history of our common country. The object of these articles is to acquaint the youth of the race, both native born and alien, with facts that are not to be found in the average school history. There are in the United States a large number of aliens of the colored races. The immigration laws limit the number of whites of each nationality, forbids orientals, but permits the darker races to enter without restrictions. This fact is due, no doubt, out of deference to the American Negro. It devolves a duty, however, upon the race to prepare the new comers for American citizenship. That they may know America better we present the biography of Crispus Attucks, hero of the pre-revolution: CRISPUS ATTUCKS Crispus Attucks was the first man to fall in the Boston Massacre, March 5, 1770. He was born at Farmington, Mass., of a Negro mother, about 1720. His father was a white man, Attucks attended the common schools at Farmington and Boston, and received a fair education. He followed various occupations, and supported his mother, who lived to an advenced age. At- tucks never married and consequently had no descendants. At the time of his death he was about fifty (50) years of age. The pre-revolution move- ‘ment was well under way prior to the day that Attucks was shot by British soldiers, Men like Samuel Adams, James Otis and Benjamin Franklin, through secret agitation, had been carrying on a propaganda against the oppression of the Mother Country for some time. Unjust and heavy taxa- tion was placed upon the colonists, who were denied representation in the local government. England sent the governers here by appointment, or rather command, and they were not in sympathy with the Americans. Sol- diers were maintained for constabulary service and were often overbearing and brutal. The feeling of resentment had reached a high pitch on the morning of March 5, 1770, when a group of small boys began to deride and annoy a detachment of soldiers by throwing stones. A sentinel struck one ‘of the boys with the butt of his musket. The boy ran away and informed some men of what had happened. One of first to respond to the boy's ap- peal was Crispus Attucks. This occurred about 9:30 o'clock A. M. For three days prior to this there had been disturbances, riots and unrest. The populace had lost patience and was in an ugly mood. Attucks led the crowd to the head of King, now State street, where the soldiers were stationed. ‘The boy pointed out the sentinel who had struck him, and Attucks led the attack amidst cries of “kill him; knock him down.” The soldiers fired’ upon the mob and Attucks fell, mortally wounded, with twenty others. In recog- nition of the bravery of Attucks, a statue to his memory has been erected ‘on Boston Commons, Boston, Mass.

N _|Branch for 1924 As we close the first year of work of the Central Avenue Branch Y. W. ©. A., we look back over the months to see whether or not we have justi- fied our existence and wonder how much of what we had hoped for really happened in the year. Starting out with ten committees to plan our work, we find them all with us still, some more active than others but all willing at any time to do the task assigned to them. We find our Committee of Manage- ment still active and interested and even though some feel that for the next year they cannot assume the responsibility of a chairmanship they are willing to work as committee members. During the year the following classes were held:. Leadership for Girls Clubs, Etiquette class for boys and girls of high school age; Aesthe- tie Dancing class for little girls; a class in basketry and flower making for women, and a flower making class for little girls; a sewing class for women; a Saturday morning story hour for little boys and girls; a Nutri- tion course for the Mother's club; a tolk dancing class for high school boys and girls, a class in piano, and ‘a recreation hour for children each afternoon during the month of Aug- ust. ie The entertainments given during the year were as follows: A dish shower, Martha Washington Silver Tea, Grade School Girl Reserve Candy Sale, and High Sehool Clnb playlet. ? Among the social activities were a slumber party for the Girl Reserves, several hikes, an Easter party, a Halloween party, a Xmas party, a re- ception for the Branch secretary and her husband, a Dutch party for em- ployed girls, and a Movie party for ‘boys and girls. ‘The Branch has been truly a com- munity center judging from the num- ber or organizations which used the building. They were as follows: Sojourner Truth Charity Club, Alpha’ Kappa Alpha sorority, Junior Elks, Urban League, National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo- ple, City Federation of Colored Wom- en’s Clubs, Adelphai Club, St. Paul District of Federated Clubs, St. James A. M. E. church cholr, Boy: Scouts, Girl Scouts, Memorial Bap- tist Literary Society, Boys Athletic Club, the Appallo-League, the Post| Office Club and the Pullman Porters Beneficial Soctety. Part of our work at the Branch has been with the younger girls, there be- ing a high school teserve group, and a grade school group. Since early in the Spring we have had a Mothers Club which was or- ganized for the purpose of studying local conditions affecting the develop- ment of the youth of our group. In October this group started a course in nutrition which has been very beneficial and interesting. The study book for the Committee on Colored Work was Carter G. Woodsons, “The Negro in Our His- tory.” Each month a different com- mittee member reviewed a part of the book. One of the Cimmittees of the Branch, known as the Community Studies Committee compiled some worthwhile facts on population, churches,+ recreation places and. schools in the city. In July the chairman of this com- mittee, Mrs. Bessie Miller, was eailed to eternal rest and the Branch has lost a most excellent’ worker and friend. One of the departments of our work, the library, is steadily growing under the direction of Miss Gillard, the office assistant. The Juvenile division has outgrown its bookcase. During the year we have had calls for Russian books, German books, and all kinds of fiction and special erders for classics, While we realize that the Y. W. C. A. is but one of the many organ- izations for activities among our group, we cannot help but feel that we have a place in the community and that with continued effort we shall develop into a much larger, bet- ter equipped and greater service giv- ing organization, 3 Statistics Attendance— Committees eeeenseaeeeneneeenene 296 Girl SeOUtS ennaeeeeeeeereemeeeeeveeee 99 Womens Clas .-nnseennscinseeeeD 222 Veupeee beset, BAS Saturday Evening Group .......... 755 CUNO ncceseseenetnseeereensternseeee 118 Entertainments «0... ...-- 483 Girl Reserve Clubs ................. 506 Mothers’ COD --erveeesetnneneensneery 66 Story Hour... ecsneensenneeerenee 187 Boy Seute .eeesesceeeererereseeenne 339 Urban League Meetings ........... 89 Athletic Club Boys... 38 Memberships Paid «nn... 69 Library Books in Circulation... 797 Respectfully submitted, AMY HALL KING. Contributions from readers for this column of the Bulletin-Appeal should not exceed 150 words. We reserve the right to delete or exclude from publication any matter that we may regard as objectionable, Matter should relate to, and be of interest to the American Negro. The idea being to give everyone an opportunity to express his views, pro or con, on the multitude of problems that con- front us as a race. We invite widely different opinions. An exchange of viewpoints is beneficial, and we profit thereby. We are passing thru a crucial stage in our evolution. We are constantly facing difficulties that must be met as best we can. We know what it means to suffer oppres- sion and indignity, because God—Our Creator—saw fit to make us different in color pigment from the dominant race. Our jot is a common ofe that we must all share alike. The Editor: I believe that we as a race should not fail to appreciate the kindness and consideration that is shown to us by our many white friends. In soing to Minneapolis on an Interur- ban car, recently, I observed a young white man give the seat he was oc- cupying to a lady of our race. This is a courtesy that should be returned by our own young men. Men may think since woman's emancipation that she must take her chances and fare the same as the man on all oc- casions, But this is the wrong at- titude; we must never lose respect for our womanhood. When we do we aredestroying the moral fibre of the nation. James J. Jones. To the Editor: Wouldn't it be to the advantage of the race if more co-operation with the-whites was indulged in? I mean by that—inter-racial gatherings, whereby a better understanding of eachother could be obtained. The many church and semi-social organ- izations could arrange special pro- grams for the discussion: of various topics that not only concern us, in- dividually, but the people of our country as a whole. I would like to hear from some of our local leaders along this line. Very truly yours, Herbert Wright. N. A. A. C. P. FORUM TO MEET SUNDAY The forum of the N. A. A. C.

Former State Senator James Handlan, for more than 20 years a prominent factor in Minnesota politics, died at his home, 69 Winnipeg street, Sunday morning after a long illness. He was 55 years old. Beginning in 1903 with his election as representative from the Thirty-eighth district, Mr. Handlan remained in the Legislature until 1911. Six years later he took his seat as senator and served in the upper house for six years. An illness which began about three years ago became acute during the past four months, incapacitating him from that time on. Born in Sparta, Wis., Mr. Handlan came to St. Paul as a 15-year-old boy, starting in the meat business six years later at 854 Rice street. Success followed the development of a wide acquaintance in his district, friends said Sunday night, and with his marriage in 1901 to Sarah Whalen of Rosemount, Minn., he established his permanent home among his patrons. This is a beautiful, low in appearance and fini musically. Such an instrument at s believe, but come in, see it We can make your con W. J. DYE 21-27 W.

CENTRAL ATHLETE BREAKS FOQT IN PRACTICE GAME Charles Reid, noted Minneapolis Central High School all round athlete, was lost to the strong Central High School basket ball team when he accidently broke his left foot at a practice session Wednesday afternoon. Reid will be out of the game for the rest of the season. His absence from his position as center will hurt the chances of Central to cop the city championship. He was without doubt the best center in the city conference. His brilliant playing in Central's first city conference game last week was the feature of his school's win. Reid won fame during the past football season as the football find of the year. It is sincerely hoped that his present injury will not affect his future athletic efforts.

If the weather permits the Post will give a sleigh ride, inviting the Auxiliary as their guests.
