Middletown . . . The million
dollar wedding was a great suc
cess last week-end. The many
brides were decked in their
beautiful gowns of many colors.
It would be unfair to say which
one should have won the contest
in this mo.ck wedding. The
main object was to help the
church financially. This part of
the program was accomplished.
Ms. T. J. Riddiek ran away with
the first prize with $95.50. Mrs.
Erma Henry was a close runner
up with $72. The result of the
program swelled J the church
treasury by more than two hun
dred and fifty dollars.
Mr. Leo "Wallace was the
lucky groom for this eventful
occasion. It was really f un,sor
ry you were not there. You
could have joined in the gaiety
of the evening. Music was
rendered by the Zion Jubilee
chorus: Mrs. Catherine John
son, Rev. Z. A. Hart, and yours
truly, Charles Garvin, were the
committee for the affair.
Friends extend sympathy to
Mrs. Lillian Jones Avho has just
returned from Pamlico, S. C,
where she was called suddeny
to attend the funeral services of
her sister. Mrs. Jones is the
wife of George Jones, bass sing
er in the Four Southern Won
ders. Mrs. Julia Alfred Dawson
who has been away for over two
years, has returned. Friends
are happy to see her again. It
will be niee to have her back to
take part in the church affairs
once more. Mrs. Dawson looks
well and I am sure we will be
hearing more about her in the
future.

over the New England district

NEGRO GI BABIES
By Charles C. Garvin
Portland, Conn Some weeks
ago one of our readers in Port
land approached me concerning
the GI babies in England. There
was something she wanted to
do about them. She had just
met a man who represents the
organization which tries to care
for these homeless children. The
African Mission which cares for
these babies in Liverpool, Eng
land needs funds to carry on its
good work.
As a great church worker,
Mrs. A. D. Kinsey has arranged
to have this representative here
in our vicinity March 16. The
meeting will be had at the Y.
M. C. A. in Middletown. This is
one Sunday afternoon which
can be put to good use. Mrs.
Kinsey will present Mr. Edwin
J. Duplan to address the people
of Portland and Middletown.
She is asked everyone to come
out and help put this' program
over. The sum of one dollar will
be asked from each person.
When we think of what many
dollars can do it will be easy
for each of us to contribute a
dollar to this great cause. This
is a good gesture on the part of
Mrs. Kinsey. It is the hand of
mercy trying to reach out across
the sea.
' Many of you may say that you
have nothing to do with these
babies. It is true, but we are
our brother's keeper. If the
commanding officers of the U. S.
troops in "England had the de
sire to do the right thing these
babies would not be a problem
to England now. The officers
failed to give Negro GIs permis
sion to get married to these
British girls. Then our govern
ment failed to give any aid
whatsoever. If you attend this
affair, I am sure you will gain
a first hand review of the whole
matter. This within itself will
convince you of the need of
these children.
, February 23 issues of the New
York Herald Tribune carried an
article concerning these babies.
It discussed the workings of this
organization, the Afrcan Mis
sion. " It showed how Mr. Du
planis trying to get funds to
carry On this noble work for
the unfortunate children who
are the victim of war and prej
udice. The organization plans to
build a home for the care of
these children. Many of these
children have been placed in
homes, but all of them cannot
be placed. It is their desire to
raise enough funds for this pur
pose. The structure when com
pleted will be named after the
immortal educator, lecturer, the
man whom the whole world
knows of and loved, Booker T.
Washington.
land, made his quarterly visit
to the church last week. Elder
Palmer was here when their
pastor, Rev. M. Curry, cele
brated his second anniversary
at the Holiness church.
