Citizens, I must admit that Mrs. Annie Mae Horton. 2718 Columbia avenue, really served the members and friends of the Eastside Better Business and Civic Leajrue last Monday niffht. We enjoyed a very elaborate menu. In spite of the heavy downpour of rain, more than 25 persons attended the pre-Christmas fumT meeting for non-salary-eaming
widows of the league.
The widows, Mesdames Ada Douglass. Anna Walton, and Betty Marks, received small funds for Christinas celebration. Mrs. Josephine Williams brought a very inspiring program, with Mrs. Clema Rogers giving a very
lovely reading.
Chandler Houston presented noces on week-end passes and transfers of streetcar companies, in other cities, and the question of “Why not Indianapolis?” was brought up. This was responded to by Atty. Cary D. Jacobs, who left food for thought, telling the members what has been presented the local streetcar company and
its reactions.
A committee composed of Chand-
ler Houston. Charles Harris, and the recording secretary. Mrs. Beatrice Holifield. will make an investigation of the transfer and week-end passes possibilities here.
Election of officers w-as held,
with most officers being re-elected, including your scribe as president: Anna Mae Horton, first vicepresident: John Baker, second vice-president; Beatrice Holifield. recording secretary; Viola Mills, financial secretary': Cora J. Wilson. corresponding secretary; and Ethel Merker, treasurer. Newchaplains are Mesdames Maude
Lee and Eldora Pritchard. Remarks were made by the
guest. Mrs. Cordelia Watson, a
stale and national worker. All dona: ions received by the
were the charming hostesses. It was announced that Mesdames Ella Johnson. 1950 North California street; Anna Reed. 950 North California street; and Anna Wallace. 735 Indiana avenue, all members of itlie club, are on the sick list. * * * Well, they tell me that women make the most noise when a real sermon is preached, but, according to last Sunday at Mt. Carmel Bap ist Church during the 16th anniversary celebration of the usher board. 1 saw men lifted from the floor while Rev. Richard Gregory, pastor of Beulah Baptist Church, preached a soulstirring message. They say that ‘the eagle slirred the nest.” and Rev. Gregory stirred the church. Mesdames Rose Nichols and Rosena McClung. chairmen of the affair, were w r ell-pleased with the very large attendance. The pastor. Rev. A. D. Banks, who was in a wheelchair on the last anniversary, proved what God can do. He walked the pulpit last Sunday, after the three lovely singing organiza ion': of Beulah Baptist Church finished with their selections. * * * I regret that there is not more ! on the breakfast for the Comj munily Prayer Band, held in the home of the president.
