F. ? ? ? See you next week Bye Now, Dottie CYO Bowlers Urge Bowling ingress io Lift Race Ban BROOKLYN, N. Y.— (ANP)—A resolution adopted by the Catho lic Youth organization’s 220 five man bowling teams urged the American Bowling congress last week to delete the clause in its constitution limiting membership to “white” males The resolution was submitted to the ABC’s Metropolitan division by the Rev. Charles T. Carow, a member of the CYO executive committe and delegate of the Brooklyn CYO Bowling league, to be forwarded to the congress’ na tional office for consideration at next spring’s ABC convention. The ABC’s ban violates the basic law of the Catholic church, Declaration of Independence, the constitution of the United States, the New York State constitution, the New York State law against discrimination and the civil rights law of New York, the resolution pointed out. “That the constitution, rules, regulations and specifications of the American Bowling congress and its affiliated state and city bowling associations be amended so that any and all provisions contained therein restricting membership on their bowling teams to ‘white’ males and ex cluding colored males therefrom be eliminated,” the resolution urged, “and in their place be sub stituted a provision opening mem bership to all males regardless of their race, creed, color or national origin, and that said amendment shall become effective immediate ly upon its adoption." Representatives of the 220 Catholic bowling teams of the CYO Bowling league brought to the recent executive meeting “the firm conviction that the teachings of the Catholic church imposed an obligation upon them to take action in support of their fellow men, regardless of race, color or creed.” Nation-wide publicity was giv en to the ABC ban against Negro bowlers earlier this year during the national tournament here. -n RHYTHM BAND The University Y.W.C.A. girls, who are instructing the Rhythm Band have started rehearsals for theiF participation in the Annual Urban League Christmas Party. This Ijand of youngsters, all of whom are under six or seven years of age, meet regularly each Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. and are given instruction in rhythm, harmony and the rudi ments of music. All children in these ages may enroll. However, we are suggesting that mothers attend occasionally to assist in the disciplinary problems that are occasioned by the grouping of a large number of youngsters of this age in one activity. A World of Books By Mrs. Edith Hickman Children who learn to under stand and love animals are seldom unkind to people. Old favorites among animal stories are the Green Forest Series. ^ “Blacky, the Crow” “Lightfoot, the Deer” “Whitefoot, the woodmovse” “Buster Bear Twins” These stores were written by Thorton W. Burgess, and are only 65 cents apiece. The “Mother West Wind” Ser ies are nature studies, mosity about animals and they are not expensive either. Besides the older standbys, there are some newer ones that children will like. Here are a few stories of animals that will be of interest to little children. “Copy Kitten”— a gay story of a kitten who didn’t want to look like a kitten. “Bambi”— story of a deer, illus trated by Walt Disney. “Mittens”— will charm both “Muffin” story of an all black cat with a white vest. “How Sandy Squirrel Got His Tail” —a sleepy time story. “Cancan” story of a real little goat. “The Story of Babar” will make you love elephants. Then there are four Kipling “Just So Stories” at 50c each: “The Elephant’s Child” “How the Rhinoceros Qot His Skin” I “How the Camel Got His Hump” “How the Leopard Got His Spots” Children of a certain age are busy learning about the alphabet. The “ABC Play Book” makes alphabet lessons a pleasing game. The “All About Story Book” has one dozen entertaining stories with pleasing pictures. The stories range from “Little Red Riding Hood” to “The Little Red Hen.” All are children’s favor ites. If your child is saying “Give Me a Picture Book” or “Read Me a Story,” both can be done with this one book. A child’s fancies need to be delighted. His imagi nation needs to be stimulated and “The All About Story Book” will do these very things. There are so many beautiful books, both old and new favorites with so many good stories and so many pictures with bright full colors. We still insist that one must see these many books, look at them carefully and take time to choose. There is something for every child among the hun dreds of children’s books. -:* Patronize Our Advertizeri I Complete Line CLEANING and SANITATION SUPPLIES All Types Brooms—Furniture Polishes Mops—Floor Seal and Wax Sweeping Compounds Mopping Equipment Kelso Chemical Co. 117 North 9th St. 2-2434 PRESTON’S We Carry a Complete Line of DIAMONDS WATCHES SILVERWARE JEWELRY LUGGAGE PRESTON CREDIT JEWELERS 937 O THE EVANS CLEANERS — LAUNDERERS Save Money Use our Cash and Carry Plan 333 No. 12th St. Dial 2-6961 It's not to late for Christmas Photos Lower Cost — One Day Service PHOTO NOOK 9 a-m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays 1443 "O" Street Lincoln.
