IMIIIIIH. MIL IB. -WMMMWI . .i ■! .HJMIBIIIIII CULTURAL CENTER Improvement Club The Home Improvement contest launched last spring will close with a program and social hour at the Cen ter Tuesday evening, August 28, at 8 p. m. Prizes will be awarded in each of the four zones, as follows: $5.00 in each zone for the most im proved premises, as first prize; $3.00 in each zone for neatest premises, as second prize; $2.00 in each zone for prettiest premises, as third prize. A series of $1.00 prizes will be given also. Clubs The Cultural Center Beauty Spot at Thirtieth and V streets is making a good showing at that corner. Flow ers for this spot were given by a South Side florist, and the garden was planted by the members of the Improvement club. Boys and girls of the Center have busied themselves keeping weeds cut and putting up a white picket fence which was made during the Vacation School. Girls’ Athletic Club The Girls’ Athletic club gave a par ty at the Center Thursday evening. Members of the club are specializing in tennis and are looking forward to basket ball in the fall. Boy Scouts Saturday, August 11, two boys of our Troop No. 86 left with the gang for Camp Gifford. The boys brought back glowing reports of camp life, and say that camping gives one all the fun needed. Delmar Dodson, who went last year to camp, won 68 honor points, while George Starnes won 62 honor points in his first year at camp. George also passed the second class tests. Both boys are encouraging more boys of the troop to plan early for next year’s period at camp. Playground Tennis is most popular now at the playground and both courts are be ing crowded daily. Many adults have taken to the game. A series of ten nis matches will be held Thursday, August 30. Visitors are welcome at all times. Out-of-Town Visitor* Visitors included Mrs. Jackson, mother of Rev. J. H. Jackson; Miss Summers, Miss Alexander, Mrs. Pearson, mother of Dr. and Mrs. S. B. Northcross, Mrs. Bell and others were delightfully entertained at the Center last Friday from 5 to 7 p. m. After games and refreshments, the guests visited the Center’s “Beauty Spot.” Baseball Activities among the boys of all teams are going at full speed. Plans are being made for fall sports. The junior team played their feature game at Elmwood park, beating the St. John team, 7 to 2. These boys are under 16. The Red Sox team has proved itself. At the beginning of the season this team was at the foot of the list. With the spirit of such men as the team boasts of and the good fighting spirit of the boys, they were able to tie for first place in the league. These boys advocate clean sportsmanship, as has been plainly seen in the games played this season. The Red Sox hope to carry the same ideas for the coming season. KANSAS JUDGE OMAHA VISITOR Judge and Mrs. John Clarke and daughter, Miss Alice Clark, of Law rence, Kansas, are visiting this week in Omaha, stopping at the home of Miss Gertrude Lucas, 2863 Binney street. Judge Clark has been the judge in Douglas county, Kansas, for 22 consecutive years. His present term expires January, 1929. Owing to impaired health he refused the nomination this year. The majority of his constituents are white people who admire and honor him equally as highly as his colored constituents. Mrs. Clark is very prominent, being past grand matron, Order of Eastern Star of Kansas. Miss Clark teaches in vacation school at Topeka, Kansas. W. C. ASS’N NEWS The committee elected to organize ten thousand stock company is work ing hard to put the program over. Individuals, clubs, lodges, societies, churches and their auxiliaries are be ing canvassed. The Universal Negro Improvement association and African Communities league, endorsed the W. C. Association plan of owning and operating commercial businesses, as suggested by the committee. Five of their members joined last week. Next week every person who held a share of stock in the Industrial Cor poration of Nebraska, which owned the Golden Rule store, will be called together and offered inducement to become members of the W. C. Associ ation family plan. House to house canvassing for members began Tuesday of this week. This movement will not down, said M. L. Hunter, president and general organizer, but, it may lag behind everything in this community for months, due to timidity of the work ing people. THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS OF SIOUX CITY, IOWA While visiting in Sioux City, la., over the week end last week, I chanc ed to make a tour of the police head quarters. This trip was made partly ! through curiosity and partly to com pare the building with ours here. When I and my companion asked if we might be permitted to go through the department, the captain gave us over to the jailer, Mr. McCloud, whq was a very friendly and competent | guide. He first showed us the cells 1 which were very clean and neat look ing and which were enclosed by n double set of bars, making it impos sible for the inmates to escape. Wc next saw the court room, matron’s j office, doctor’s room and finger print ; room. While viewing the last named we watched the expert taking a pris oner’s finger prints. Each finger print had to be stamped ten times and j it seemed to be a tiresome job both to the expert and the prisoner. Last ly, we looked at the “rogue’s gallery’’ which, instead of being the large and heavy book used here is a neatly filed set of cards which are much easiej to handle. Throughout the whole building a sanitary condition was prevalent, which makes this building superior to ours. EDDYE B. CHAMBERS.

We have heretofore, £ no doubt, witnessed this day of celebration «: ■: in Omaha, but never before have we had it £ £ in this wise. J ■| There is a big effort being made by the :• :■ Committee to reach every organized group J J of race people in and around Omaha, in J order that they may share in, or have a £ :■ chance to share in this affair. We are hop- •: 5 ing to have every church group, every fra- 5 :« ternal society and the business and profes- J ij sional men to participate in this celebration. Jj I We have heard from many sources, much £ criticism about a date for this celebration. £ To that we have only this to say: In the £ Slave States, the dates differ; in Nebraska, £ < there is no fixed date for this occasion, for £ < this was not a slave state. So, we use a date £ :■ on which we can secure a place that fur- J *: nishes such recreation and amusements as $ S this day calls for, hence, the day and place £ $ this year is J £ September 11th, at Krug Park! £ £ £ £ Another objection has been that it has J £ been a single-handed effort That objection £ £ this year is removed by reason of the fact m\ £ that all groups are being approached to take 2 ij part. £ £ Still another objection has been because :■ £ some have thought that the churches and £ £ pastors should not have the dance pavilion £ £ operating under church management. That J J objection this time is removed, for the Krug £ £ Park Amusement Co. had contracted with £ £ Mr. John Smith for the dance pavilion last I; £ March, so the churches will have no hand in £ £ the management of the hall. £ £ Now let us all get together and have a big 2 £ day of co-mingling one with another and at £ £ the same time celebrate in a large way our £ :• Race Freedom. 2 ■ *C ■: The following named brethren have been 3 approached and have agreed to co-operate :■ j: with the plan.
