W. Digg’s home, 1908 Highland place. The feature of the January program which will be emphasized in a benefit movie to be held January 28 at the Regal theatre. On December 22, those veterans not confined to bed congregated in the recration room, decorated in the Yule spirit, and played whist. All were given useful gifts, and a committee visited the wards to carry others gifts. The men were given cigars and cigarettes
in abundance.
At Knightstown, in the dual role of sponsor and Santa Claus, the Post and auxiliary contrived to learn' from the matron the wants of the various children and the de- | sired gifts were purchased, wrapped individually for each child. Useful articles were given to the larger ones and toys sent the tots; in addition, to make more real the personal element, members of the organizations mailed cards to each
child.
The organization promises greater achievements for the new year and takes this occation to thank their friends and the public at large for the generous support given the Post activities in the past year as well as for that which is certain to come in support of the broader and more popular program.

Urges Action For Intelligentsia
NEW YORK City, Jan. 9.—“Negro intelligentsia beings in the ranks of those fostering the Southern Shareroppers’ movement,” declared Dr. Alain L. Locke, author and head of Howard university’s department of philosophy, while speaking at an open session of the Phi Beta Sigma conclave at the Harlem YMCA. His subject was, “The Negro in the Changing World.” “The Negro intelligentsia cannot afford to stand on the outside of this growing movement. Not only does it mean economic liberation but general improvement of the status of the race.” Closing his address. Dr. Ixicke pointed out that Negroes must “look up” with those movements which seek the betterment of the “majority of the population.” Unless the Negro professionals as well as educated people join with these movements they will find themselves in the “rear guard of the forces advancing civilization,” he stated.
