CULTURAL CENTER

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

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.

j: A BIG EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION jj
;I to be held at :■
!; KRUG PARK—September 11 ■;
■: We are hereby calling the public’s atten- ^
S tion to this big event. 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
