MINNEAPOLIS N. A. A. C. P.
HOLDS MASS MEETING
Two hundred people responded to
the call of the Minneapolis N. A. A.
C. P. for a mass meeting last Tues
day night at Phyllis Wheatley House.
Wm. M. Smith, pres., in explaining
the purpose of the call, recounted the
steps taken by the organization in
combating, on behalf of its people,
attempted discriminations and mis
treatment, and gave a detailed his
tory of the attempts of a local play
house to segregate its colored pa
trons. A resolution presented by Mr.
S. A. Stockwell was unanimously
adopted, endorsing the steps thus far
taken by the Branch, and its deter
mination to fight, to the end, a case
now in the courts. Stirring speeches
commending the Branch and encour
aging it to continue its defensive pol
icies were made by Mr. Raymond
Cannon, Rev. C. B. Burton, Mr. Mar
tin Brown and Atty. Glesner Fowler.
A resolution was read from Ames
Lodge of Elks pledging the support
of that organization. Others who
spoke briefly were Messrs. Isaac
Moore, Dr. M. W. Judy and W. C.
Jeffrey, members of the Executive
committee, Irving Rhodes, B. Thomp
son, Edward Shannon and Martin
Brown urging support for the Com
munity Fund Drive. Those present
contributed $30.00 to the Associa
tion to aid in its legal battle.
The meeting was full of pep and
enthusiasm and speaks well for the
splendid work of the local branch
during the past year.
COLORED PLAYER CAUSES
CANCELLATION OF GAMES
(Preston News Service)
Chambersburg, Pa., Nov. s—On
account of the undemocratic spirit of
the various high school members of
the Cumberland Valley Athletic
League all four games have been can
celled because the local team has a
Negro player on the team. The au
thorities of the local school would
not play the games unless they could
select the personnel of their own
team.
The game with Winchester, Va.,
was called off last Thursday. Mar
tinsburg, W. Va., Hagerstown, Md.,
and Waynesboro, Pa., had previously
called off games with Chambersburg
for the same reason. The schools
contend that a “gentleman’s agree
ment” provided that no Negro play
er would be used in the league. The
Chambersburg school officials declare
that no such agreement existed.
Our most valuable lessons are
usually gained in connection with un
fortunate experiences.
The man who opens his mind to
knowledge is on his way to a better
job and to a keener enjoyment of life.
The modern large business organ
ization is the finest example of ef
ficient co-operation in all history.

“Because of its economic policy, I
have come into touch with the Urban
league, an organization which I re
spect greatly.
“In a certain sense, I have made a
study of the Negro population, and I
have always made donations to chari

like, as I am still doing.”
Mr. Pates, who is now the pro

Compulsory Church and Sunday
School Attendance—What Does It
Lead To?—as discussed by Mr. Reg
inald Johnson and Miss Beulah
Stephens presented material for a
lively open discussion. Mrs. Armeda
Wilkins, as a leader of the discussion
in her usual cheerful way drew out
interesting view points from the au
dience on Church relationships. She
closed with the thought that pro
grams for young people in the church
should be made so interesting that
they would want to go there in pref
erence to other places. The instru
mental solo by Mildred Bolden, and
the vocal duet by Mrs. M. Grissom
and sister were greatly enjoyed by
all.
The Wide Awake Triangle, a group
of grade school Reserves invited their
friends to a Hallowe’en party on Fri
day evening. A merry time was had
by all as they entered into the spirit
of the season.
