THE MOTHER’S SERVICE CLUB
by MYRTLE M. GOODLOW
The Mother’s Service Club was
organized,
For Service, Inspiration and
Prayer.
For our Blue Stars everywhere!
To write letters—so highly prized.
Not only to our own each week—
But also to servicemen,
Who have no folks to write them.
Cheerful letters that will keep
Cur boys encouraged and inform
ed—
Of what i3 going on
While they are gone.
Never to write unpleasant news—
That will worry or confuse,
For our boys have enough
troubles of their own,
Without worrying about the
folks at home.
Each day at noon to offer prayer,
That God will keep them in His
care.
And give them strength and
courage to bear—
The daily tasks they’re called to
share.
And that we too may carry on,
While our sons are gone,
And if :t is His blessed will—
To return our men,
Sound in mind and body,
When the war is done.
So until then
It is the Mother’s Service plan
To do what e’re we can,
For our fighting met.
We realize what ever we do,
will be so small,
Compared to our boys—
Who are giving their all.
For me and for you.
If you have a son in service—
We would like to have you join
us.
For Service, Inspiration and
Prayer,
For our Blue Stars everywhere!

LEGION NEWS
(BY JULIUS E. HILL)
(Post Publicity Officer)
Indifference is rapidly vanishing
among the members of Roosevelt
Post since it moved to its new
quarters. Those who were only
occasionally seen, visit the post
several nights a week and even
more.
Pride is what it is—Just plain un
adulterated pride.... no matter
how hard one tries to make some
thing else of it. And this pride,
which is contrary to the kind that
goes before a fall, seemingly has
fired the members with a desire to
be more helpful as a body and more
willing to lend a hand in things ,
needing the full support of all con
nected with the post.
*****
As long as this spirit exists Theo
dore Roosevelt Post will keep go
ing forward.... making mistakes
no doubt, but on the whole profit
ing by them to such an extent that
they become as stepping stones to
greater achievements.
*****
Let us hope that th-s spirit "ill
continue to exist. For the public
is watching Roosevelt Post and
don't think that it isn't!
*****
But what more can be expected
when one considers it from the day
it was organized up to now? Its.
fortunes have slid up and down
like mercury does in a barometer.
So the public is more or less won
dering if the Post’s present suc
cess is just another Up again, down
again Finnagin affair, or it is real
ly going places this time sure c
nough.
*****
Well that is much the concern
of the members. They in less time
than it takes to write this articlQ
can make or break the post_can
return it to its former sloven state
or keep it headed in the right dir
ection as it is now. For it is they
who elect the commander and
some of the other officers, in whose
hands the destiny of the post is
placed for a year. If they choose
wisely-all is well__if they don't
..It is just too bad!
*****
That is why it is so important
that each member should conside,
"ell the record oi each candidate
for the office of Commander, Com
mittee men a:.ci Vice Commanders.
If they have not shown the all im
portant and necessary qualificat
ions a leader should have... the'
should not let i e--ional likes • ;
friendship pi event them from vot
ing for men who ar< known to have i
these qualifications.
*****
This ig no tin e foi foolishness.
This is no time to cater to persons
who meryy want in office lor
their own : elfish aggrandize re-)'
and gain. There are quite a num- i
ber of men carat!» of leading ;l e
post forward mf.'.vn IF THE/ SO
DESIRE. Ani ii; it is what f-inl;
member should know definite y a
bout the candiu.ite he votes fo~
And remember one can always
retain in office the men who have
and ARE lining great things f«.r
the Post.

MILLION DOLLARS GRANTED
TO WILBERFORUE U. BY OHIO
STATE LEGISLATURE
• continued t'r* m page ’ 1
Is for immediate use of plant im
provement, new positions, salary
adjustments, and general education
al services.
Attorney Ray Hughes, Chairman
of the State Board of Trustees, took
active part in pushing this approp
riation bill through the legislature
by personal visits to Governor
John W. Bricker and legislative
representatives nown to be oppos
ed to such a large appropriation
tor a Negro institution.
Under the leadership of Dr. Dav
id Turpeau, of Cincinnati, the only
Negro member on the Finance
Committee of the Ohio Legislature,
Attorney Chester K. Gillespie of
Cleveland, and Dr. Sandy Ray, two
other Negro representatives in the
Ohio Legislature, continued this
plea for larger appropriations to
the University within th» Legisla
ture.
The successful and inspiring ad
ministration of the new president.
Dr. Charles H. Wesley, who ad
dressed the joint session of the O
hio Legislature on March S, 194;!.
the support of Superintendent C.
C. Jenkins an dthe unprecedented
harmony which has existed be
tween the church and state boards
of trustees throughout the present
administration of Wilberforce Uni
versity were important factors
which contributed to the winning
of the fight for larger appropria
